Episode 3.
Childhood friend may have toned down her hideous make-up, but I'm still don't like her personality. It could use some toning down as well.
The mail lady was an intriguing mixture of open knowing sexuality and naivety. An unusual combination but a fun one. Of the growing harem, she's the most fun to watch so far.

ahh I'm soo waiting for a DVD uncensored episode 4 XDXD.... anyway they changed some things here.... like Kanako haveing strange yet funny imagination (of jumpei kneeling down to her [he could have some good view on her panties on that scene] with cats surounding ^^)... and the bath scene... well in manga they were eating dinner than takeing baths....
anyway Kanako all the way.... since kanako really loves jumpei but has no guts to express her feeling naturally (when she wants she does something violent nature ^^ but she is trying at least)...... in the bath scene it seems she was the one that was kind and kinda shared mostly some information with Keade about Jumpei (maybe their relantionship beign only childhood friends and not going out or something of taht sort... guees need to see Raw to see what they are talking about)
so for me Kanako should end up with Jumpei at the end... she really loves him... and took care of him in childhood days... even after beign violent both still are close and both can smile together at that moments.... she understand general situation surroundign jumpei... while Keade is just pure air-head... she wont understand a damn thing if someone wont tell her about it.... by knowing how manga's are build Kanako doesnt have much of a chance (since like allways the main girl will win in this case Keade... and mostly on some point Kanako will abondon her hope to get jumpeis love for her.... and will change to support jumpei to get with keade becouse kanako is kind in heart)
but still there are 8ep left :P so I wont drop my hope so fast ^^ hmmm it seems next episode will be about ammusment park.... but I wonder when we will get the Kanako scene of tryingto kiss jumpei when he was sleeping [the sick/ill jumpei chapter...]............yeah I'm Kanako fan ^^
Well normaly in many animes/mangas a pure Tsudare girl has very low chance to end up with main char when there is other shy girl.... so this is why I want kanako to win ^^ to break this damn rule and make the main char end upwith a tsudare char. ^^......... so I hope that Keade wont be a bitch and wont jump in when knowing Kanako's feelings towards jumpei.... if she is a good girl she will drop her trying :P

so no this episode was made from 3 chapters.... well they change some things compared to manga but well you cant have anything.... at least they are keeping the plot on the same rails like the manga (with some changes on some parts.... like bath and not dinner and few more differances)
I have to see the raw so I could say how many chapters next episode might cover... the 100% is the ammusment park chapter.... but what with that.... I doubt they will make the jumpei sick chapter in it.... it might happen in ep6 (after the story from ep5...).................... time will show ^^

San Francisco's Nob Hill (Images of America) (Images of America (Arcadia Publishing)
by Katherine Powell Cohen
More than a neighborhood, San Francisco's Nob Hill encapsulates some of the major elements of the city's history. Early European settlers' cattle grazed on the windy hill, and with the Gold Rush of 1849, it became a lookout point as ships arrived daily, bringing thousands to San Francisco. Within the next 40 years, the moguls of the Central Pacific Railroad, along with other magnates, built spectacular residences atop Nob Hill, which became a focal point of San Francisco. Today Nob Hill is home to elegant hotels, a cathedral, and a variety of residents. It remains a center of activity in a legendary city.
San Francisco's Pacific Heights and Presidio Heights (Images of America: California)
by Tricia O'Brien
The prestige of Pacific Heights and Presidio Heights has long fascinated and awed San Francisco residents and visitors. The westward expansion of the city, followed by the addition of cable car lines, quickly transformed these once-barren outlands into gardens, schools, consulates, and homes, both extravagant and simple. Attracted to the stunning views and unique architecture, prominent and humble families alike have formed the fascinating role of Pacific Heights and Presidio Heights in San Francisco lore.
San Francisco's Ocean Beach (Images of America)
by Kathleen Manning
Where the waves of the Pacific Ocean wash up against the quiet neighborhoods of San Francisco, Ocean Beach has endured as a popular destination for tourists and San Francisco residents alike. At water's edge is the Cliff House restaurant where visitors can look down upon the remains of the Sutro Baths, a 19th-century indoor pool complex. Just south is the famous Golden Gate Park with its two stately windmills, followed by the well-loved San Francisco Zoo. But a century of change has altered the landscape and the attractions of Ocean Beach, making way for new developments and reflecting the evolution of the city of San Francisco itself.
Palace Hotel, The, CA (IMG) (Images of America (Arcadia Publishing)
by Richard Harned
When it opened in 1875, the Palace Hotel was the largest and most luxurious hotel in the world, a perfect symbol of one of the most remarkable eras in San Francisco history. Built at a time when Nevada's fabulously rich silver mines were pouring millions of dollars each month into San Francisco, it typified the color and grandiose extravagances of the whole bonanza period. After the original hotel was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire, a successor Palace Hotel took its place and remains one of the most prestigious hotels in San Francisco today.
San Francisco's Financial District (Images of America)
by Christine Miller
Some call it Wall Street West, while some just call it downtown, but San Francisco's financial district is a long-running business powerhouse, home to scores of corporate headquarters, prominent law firms, restaurants, hotels, banks, the Pacific Stock Exchange, and striking waterfront views radiating outward from the landmark 1898 Ferry Building. The district was among the first areas to be settled, and many of the original 19th-century buildings still stand, along with streets and businesses named for early California business leaders like Mills, Sharon, Fair, and Flood. The district holds examples of nearly every type of commercial architecture and is arguably the city's most popular, as its population swells by tens of thousands of office workers each day.

Five Oak Ridge High School sophomores dared El Dorado Hills Rotarians and guests to do "mighty things" at the club's annual speech contest Wednesday, Feb. 9.
Carina Williams, Matt Landay, Alexa Hill, Garrett Brockschmitt and Emma Larsen, all 15, spoke about dreams, perseverance and hope at the annual event. Landay's speech retold the story of his brother, Marine Cpl. Jeff Landay, who suffered major injuries in Iraq but never gave up. He earned first place in the contest and moves on to the District 5180 semi-finals in March.
El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson, Hands 4 Hope founder Jennifer Bassett and Rotarian Noel Stack judged the El Dorado Hills Rotary speech contest, which was coordinated by Rotarian Kathe Russell. The theme for this year's contest is "Dare Might things," Rotary District 5180's latest motto.
Emma Larsen came in second and Carina Williams received third place recognition.

New words created by smashing together capitalized words.
CamelCase is the original wiki convention for creating hyperlinks, with the additional requirement that the capitals are followed by a lower-case letter; hence "AlabamA" and "ABc" will not be links.
Customizing the Wiki behavior
Some people dislike linking by CamelCase. While Trac remains faithful to the original Wiki style, it provides a number of ways to accomodate users with different preferences:
- There's an option (ignore_missing_pages in [wiki]) to simply ignore links to missing pages when the link is written using the CamelCase style, instead of that word being replaced by a gray link followed by a question mark.
That can be useful when CamelCase style is used to name code artifacts like class names and there's no corresponding page for them.
- There's an option (split_page_names in [wiki]) to automatically insert space characters between the words of a CamelCase link when rendering the link.
- Creation of explicit Wiki links is also easy, see WikiPageNames for details.
- In addition, Wiki formatting can be disabled completely in some places (e.g. when rendering commit log messages)
See TracIni for more information on the available options.

Tulane forward Mikael Herbert is transferring from the basketball program, the rising sophomore's father, Gordon, confirmed to The Advocate on Sunday.
He is the first Green Wave player to formally declare his intentions not to return, a year after Tulane had six players transfer in the wake of the 2012-13 season.
Herbert was used sparingly as a true freshman, playing in just nine games and averaging 4.3 minutes. While on the floor, the 6-foot-9, 210-pounder made 1 of 7 field goal attempts, missed all five of his 3-pointers and pulled down seven rebounds.
Despite his minimal usage, Herbert was one of the most highly touted signees of Tulane's super-sized freshman class last year. After playing for UU-Korahait in Finland's professional league, he turned down offers from Nebraska, Long Beach State, Utah, Boston College and Kansas State to attend Tulane.
His departure provides a silver lining for coach Ed Conroy and the Green Wave, who are in desperate need of a size and strength upgrade in the front court, following the graduation of centers Tomas Bruha and Kevin Thomas.
Before Herbert's transfer, Tulane had only one available scholarship for the spring signing period. Now it has the ability to sign a pair of center prospects. Rokas Gustys, a native of Kaunas, Lithuania, and Link Kabadyundi of Montreal have taken official visits to New Orleans in the past two weeks.

This Kissing Device Doesn't Do It For Me
I don't care if it feels like kissing. I have no desire to put a motorized straw in my mouth and pretend like it's a human mouth. This kiss transmission device, which uses computers to simulate the way a person kisses down to their taste, breathing, and moistness of the tongue, is very ingenious, but very unnecessary in my opinion. Kissing is one of the few simple pleasures in life. It is perfect just as it is. I say, if it ain't broke, don't digitize it. How about you? Would you kiss this thing? [Buzzfeed]

Here's one I just edited together from my trip last week! It shows what happened while I was taking a few different photos around Mount Fuji.

A dozen movies far superior to Dogtooth or Outside the Law were bewilderingly overlooked.
For an instant they stared at each other, then kissed in a bewilderingly friendly fashion.
Meantime the spectacle of the mountain must have been bewilderingly grand.
There cannot be in city life any sight so bewilderingly gorgeous or so delightful as the boulevards, either by day or night.
Now she smiled at him, beautifully, bewilderingly, for his kindness in asking.
She had no idea what sort of a place it was, and everything here was bewilderingly new and strange to her.
My mind was bewilderingly full of Anne, but I could not think of her.
It inaugurated the bewilderingly rapid territorial redistribution of Europe, which was so characteristic of the Napoleonic period.
It was bewilderingly like the church fair of an American country town, socially and materially.
America was bewilderingly strange, unimaginably complex, delightfully unexplored.

Lake Kariba
Lake Kariba is one of the world's largest man-made lakes. The source of all its water is the Mighty Zambezi River. Over 290km long and 30km wide at its widest, this lake has been described in the past as an inland sea. The reason for this description comes after many studies by the University of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) on the fauna living in its ecosystems, from muscles to shrimps, to plankton. The main reason for building this lake originates from the need for a hydroelectric dam. This dam, called the Kariba Dam is a hydroelectric dam in the Kariba Gorge of the Zambezi river basin between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the largest dams in the world at 128 m high and 579 m long. Later on, commercial fishing was discussed and thus large areas of bush in the previous Zambezi valley were cleared for this reason. Even today, Kapenta (fresh water sardines) fishing is one of the lake's major industries, along with tourism, and of course the hydro electric power that supplies both Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in Southern Africa surrounded by South Africa in the South, Mozambique in the East, Zambia to the North, and Botswana to the West. The Zambezi River starts its course in the North East of Angola and winds its way South through Zambia reaching Zimbabwe at Kazungula, the place where Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, and Botswana meet. The Victoria Falls is just 60km downstream from this point. The Zambezi then forms the Northern border between Zimbabwe and Zambia all the way to Chirundu. The lake kariba is between these two locations, Victoria Falls and Chirundu.
There are many fantastic things to do on and around Lake Kariba.The well known obvious things come to mind such as Tiger fishing, Houseboating and Game Viewing, but if you dig a little deeper you will find some truly amazing activites on offer. Game viewing and Birding in the Matusadona National Park is not to be missed on your visit here, all of the camps and accommodations around Kariba will offer these activities, check out our Safari Camps.
This National Park is one of Zimbabwe's most remote parks and well known for their conservation efforts with the Black Rhino, the park boasts the African Big 5 as well. Lake Kariba has all the ingredients to make a fantastic African holiday and offers various activities, including:
- Game drives
- Tonga village visits
- Rhino Tracking Safaris
- Tiger Fishing Safaris
- Canoe Safaris
- Birding Safaris
Fauna and Flora
The reason why there is so much game on the Zimbabwe side is that when the animals were being rescued during Operation Noah, back in 1956 up to 1960, the parks were created on the Zimbabwean side and that is where they were relocated to. The other areas are tribal land belonging to the Tonga people who also had to move when the waters of the Zambezi River were rising. The Matusadona National Park is the centrepiece in this beautiful landscape surrounding the lake, the Chete safari area is also teeming with wildlife. This area is a hunting area in season so the animals are a little bit shyer.
Lake Kariba has many Safari Camps and Lodges all along the Lake shore in Matusodona National Park and the surrounding Wildlife Areas, so no matter where you stay you will be sleeping very close to the local wildlife! Kariba town has the more formal accommodations such as B&B´s and old school hotels and resorts. The harbours for all the houseboats are based in Kariba town. Facilities include
- Swimming pools
- Sailing
- Boat Hire
- Fishing tackle
- Styling rooms
The weather at Lake Kariba is generally hot, the so-called suicide month is October, and that is when the rainy season starts, up to about April, the days can be sweltering hot with thunder storms in the early afternoon and in the evening.
The month of May to July are cooler and without the rain storms, the sun still shines and can be a very pleasant time around the lake.
The months of August and September are the windy months and the lake can be very rough at times, although the weather is still sunny and enjoyable.
How to get to Lake Kariba
There are 2 ways of getting to Kariba and the Camps around it
- Aircraft
- Road
Due to its massive size it all depends on which part of the lake you will be visiting. The Kariba town itself has an international airport, there are other smaller airstrips located at Fothergill Island, Bumi Hills, Rokari, Gache Gache, and Binga Town. The other ways to get there are by road, coming from Bulawayo you would take the road to Victoria Falls until a place called Dete, take a right here and that road takes you to Binga Town. By road from Harare along the Harare-Chirundu Road at Makuti you will turn at Makuti Hotel and a tarred road leads to Kariba town.
We will organise your transport to and form the camps and houseboats just ask us for details!

Unaccompanied Immigrant Minors Brought To Tucson
(Oracle, AZ) -- Homeland Security is transferring migrant children to The Sycamore Canyon Boys Ranch in Oracle.
The department plans to move 40 to 60 unaccompanied illegal minors to the facility for temporary housing. The Ranch has increased their staff by about 30 employees in preparation for the children's arrival tomorrow.
Pinal Sheriff Paul Babeu says area residents have every right to be upset because, quote, "these children should be returned to their home country, not to Oracle to be paid for by American taxpayers."

A couple of recent announcements from Cisco and Dell bring new, fast FC (Fibre Channel) and Ethernet switches to market at a price and with features that should make their competitors nervous.
I'll start with the Dell PowerConnect (that's Dell-company speak for "networking gear") 6224 and 6248, the first of which hosts 24 GbE ports while the latter doubles that capacity.
You can deploy these two Ethernet switches in data or storage networks at a price of $75 per port or less -- Dell sets the starting price at $1,800 for the 6224 and at $2,500 for the 6248.
Here's the most interesting part: For both models, you may add up to four 1G or 10G optical transceivers and consolidate your copper and fibre clients into a single switch.
Moreover, both the 6224 and the 6248 have two optional 10G uplink ports for fast connectivity to existing networks. Those optical ports will, of course, increase the price, but according to Dell you can start with a basic unit and update later if necessary.
Another contender in this networking rodeo is Cisco's new MDS 9124 Multilayer Fabric Switch. It's quite a different animal from the previous MDS 9020 model.
Cisco characterizes both models as edge solutions for SMBs, but the biggest difference is not the number of ports: This is the first fabric switch from Cisco offering a pay-as-you grow model, a model that other vendors have been offering for quite some time. The new MDS 9124 switch has 24 4G ports (versus 20 on the older model), but customers can start from a minimum configuration with eight ports and order more later in increments of eight as network requirements grow.
The modular scalability allows the 9124 a more affordable entry price, too. Cisco's estimate comes in around $5,500 for eight ports, although the company notes that their partners have the ultimate say on the final cost.
To make the switch more palatable to new storage-network customers, Cisco added a Quick Start wizard to the usual set of management applications. The wizard automatically identifies the devices connected to the switch and opens a matrix where an admin sets the configuration by simply checking a box for each device in a connection.
On the same screen, customers can assign that connection to and create a VSAN (virtual SAN). As a reminder, VSANs are innovative logical containers for storage network devices, conceptually similar to VLANs, and were initially introduced by Cisco. The VSAN concept, however, is now being adopted by other vendors, such as McData.
Back to the Cisco switch. Setting aside its technical features for a moment, take a quick glance at the competitive landscape in this space. The 9124 is Cisco's response to similar devices from its competitors, as is the recently announced collaboration with HP to create an embedded switch for the BladeSystem.
With the merger of Brocade and McData expected to finalize next year, the storage joust will include one less vendor but competition won't become less fierce, which is good. The way I read it, entry level customers will end up with a larger basket of affordable storage produce from which to choose. Not bad.

Welcome toPlEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY PREPARE YOURSELF
the ENIGMA..........
summarization of the study, greater understanding of the issue
the disappointing truth
What this means
AbstractA modern dilemma is the current disregard for the Arts.Although the research isoverwhelming as to the benefits which the Arts provide (Baum, 1997; Dawson et al.,1972; Goff, 1993; Hoffmann, 1978; Kirnick et al., 1981; Longman, 1994; Paffard,1970; Schaefer-Simmons, 1970; & Spaniol, 1997) this is a topic which is grosslyunder-researched within the confines of psychology. In order to examine theeffect, if any, that art plays in the lives of individuals, this study investigated therelationship between ones artistic involvement, quality of life, and lifesatisfaction. Participants were drawn from the human subject pool at Saint AnselmCollege(n=48, 38 women and 10 men). Subjects were administered the Frequencyof Artistic Involvement Scale, designed by the experimenter, the ComprehensiveQuality of Life Questionnaire (Cummins, 1991), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale(Diener et al., 1985). Using Pearson product-moment correlation, the resultsindicated that the factors are negatively correlated within this population(r=-0.311 at p=0.032) on subjective quality of life scale. Further analysis of thedomains contributing to quality of life were also investigated, in the groups of highand low artistic activity as well as between gender.
All data was analyzed by means of a Pearson product-moment correlation and a correlation matrix was generated (see table 1). The data included background information for the participants, scores for the Frequency of Artistic Involvement Scale, the Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale, including its 14 various sub-scales, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Upon analyzing the data by means of regression analysis, no significant predictors were found. Table 1A summarizes the correlations between the main questionnaires of the study. To establish that similar domains were being assessed, The Satisfaction with Life Scale was found to correlate with the Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale at all levels; total quality of life r=0.678 at p=0.000, objective quality of life r=0.427 at p=0.002, and subjective quality of life r=0.666 at p=0.000. In direct opposition to the hypothesis, the artistic involvement scores were found to correlate negatively with the scales of life satisfaction and quality of life. However, only the subjective quality of life score correlated significantly with the artistic involvement score r= -0.311 at p= 0.032 The sub-scales of the Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale which correlate significantly with artistic involvement are subjective material well being at r= -0.286 at p= 0.049, subjective health at r= -0.297 at p= 0.04, and safety at r= -0.289 at 0.046. The correlation of the artistic involvement score and the total quality of life score is approaching significance at r= -0.271 at p=0.063. The descriptive statistics for the sample are provided in table 2a,(note that gender separations will be discussed later). All quality of life indicators are found to be above the mean of the standardized norm group, (obj qol mean= 75.5 Sd=7.73, subj qol mean= 62.17 Sd=27.12, and tot qol mean= 137.67 Sd= 29.34), (Cummins, 1997). However, no scores are greater than one Sd removed. In terms of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the average from the sample was also slightly higher than the standardized norm group, mean=21.2 Sd=4.7 (Diener, 1984). By separating the participants into groups who have an above normal rate of artistic activity, score > 62.6458 (mean), and those who have a lower than normal rate of artistic activity, score < 62.6458 (mean) more elements can be examined. While the means for objective quality of life scores are almost identical, 79.26 for those high scorers versus 78.99 for the low scorers, the means for subjective quality of life scores and thus the means for total quality of life are greater for those less involved in the Arts. As shown those less involved in the Arts have higher scores in the domains of subjective emotion, safety, intimacy, subjective intimacy, productivity, subjective health, health, and subjective material well being. Those components which contribute to t life satisfaction and quality of life are surprisingly similar. Next to explore is the topic of gender. The mean of the mens' score were higher on the objective scales, by only 2 points, and lower on the subjective scale by 10 points, thus the females reported a higher total quality of life than the males, by approximately 8 points. Women displayed much more significant correlations of the sub-scales in relation to life satisfaction, subjective quality of life and total quality of life. The relationships between the subscales of the ComQol and life satisfaction and subjective quality of life, were significant for the men in the components of health, productivity, safety, and intimacy. For women the components were mainly all significant between the sub-scales and the factors of life satisfaction and subjective quality of life, excluding only productivity, communication, material well being and subjective well being. The mean scores were higher for females in the domains of subjective material well being, subjective health, productivity, intimacy, subjective intimacy, safety, subjective safety, subjective community and subjective emotion. (The subjective scales how important a particular domain in one's life is and also how satisfied one is with that domain.) DISCUSSION---- SHEDDING SOME LIGHT ON THE ISSUETHE DISTURBINGRESULTS
The main result to be extracted from this analysis is the fact that, within the student population at Saint Anselm, there exists a very small relationship between the factors of ones artistic involvement and ones quality of life and life satisfaction. Surprisingly, those relationships which do exist with artistic involvement are negative. Subjective quality of life (r= -.311 at p= .032) is the most important negative factor, as well as those particular domains for quality of life which were significant and negative, subjective material well-being (r= -.286 at p= .049), subjective health (r=-.297 at p=.04) and safety (r=-.289 at p=.046). Does this suggest that people are being irreversibly harmed by the Arts and thus the subject should cease to exist as we know it? Absolutely not. Only these are the factors which are least sought after and gratified, in ones life as ones artistic expression increases. Also, those individuals that are more artistic may also be less idealistic and not display the need to supress their negative feelings, which may not even be viewed as negative. Although such findings are the antithesis of all research, information, and hypothesis that was provided in the introduction (Baum, 1997; Dawson at al., 1972; Goff, 1993; Hoffman, 1978; Longman, 1994; Paffard, 1970; Schaefer-Simmons, 1970; & Spaniol, 1997), this leaves much to be examined.ANY QUESTIONS ???????????? FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME at firstname.lastname@example.com THANK-YOU FOR VISITING..............YOU ARE THE PERSON TO VISIT MY WEB-SITE.:)
When correlating the subjective quality of life scale with the scale assessing satisfaction with life, it was found that both were reliably assessing similar domains (r= .666 at p<.05). Original questions involving artistic activity being addressed, the results indicated a variety of useful information as to which components affect quality of life and life satisfaction in different groups. The participants were grouped according to those scoring above and below the mean on the Frequency of Artistic Involvement Scale. High scores correlated with the life satisfaction scale in the areas objective, subjective, and total quality of life, subjective material well-being, health, productivity, and safety, and areas of safety and health. Low scorers only correlated with both emotion categories, subjective productivity and negatively with material well-being. This dispels the stereotype that the more heavily one is involved in the Arts, the more emotional he will be. The subjective scores were more congruent between the groups with the disparity existing in emotion and safety (see table 3a).
Integral to the understanding of these unfortunate findings, is the understanding of the involved population and its limitations. All were Caucasian, and due to the typical demographics of the school, it is an educated guess that the individuals originally reside in the New England Area, from mid-to-upper class traditional families in which religion is valued. Due to the fact that the mean age was 18.47, an overwhelming majority of students were involved in their first year at college, probably away from home for the first time in their lives. As the introduction describes, this is an extremely turbulent time, pervading in great uncertainty about the self, as well as ones role in the environment. Due to this fact, most would be unwilling to disrupt the norm, which on this campus is low artistic activity, and instead conform to those individuals around oneself. Also, due to the fact that most of the students were from science-oriented majors, (the highest frequency was found to be nursing and psychology majors), this adds an additional element. As the philosophy of our society dictates, the emphasis is currently on the rational and scientific contributions to improving our lives, the aesthetic and expressive more superfluous detailing. Perhaps this prejudice has become ingrained in the minds of those involved in the study, it is impossible to ascertain if this may cause the student to major in the sciences, or if by concentrating on such disciplines, the prejudice is made stronger.
However, the environment of the college certainly does not attract such artistically-oriented people. The rural location, saturation of the Catholic faith on all parts of education and life on campus, and offered curriculum, as containing a large number of core requirements and very conservative offerings, are not attractive features to the typically more liberal and free-spirited personalities of "artistic" people. Most individuals at such private institutions have been ingrained college-bound from their conception, encouraged to fit into the mold by the social activities one would involve oneself in and also the curriculum of the education system in which one is groomed. As the experience of the researcher confirms, math, science, and foreign languages are heavily stressed, often for the purpose of rearing for college and at the expense of the self. When in senior year at high school, I was increasingly interested in taking art courses with some available elective space. However, from a multitude of sources, including guidance counselors, I was convinced that this would be a grave mistake, instead one should continue as I had been doing with two languages and more advanced placement courses than anyone ever needs. There is certainly a hierarchy in education, blatantly displayed when I was told that such art courses are only for the low-level students and it would be a waste of time and knowledge to take them. This example of absurdity is by no means isolated. The study suggests that college fit is a very important factor in assessing ones quality of life and level of satisfaction with ones life. Institutions such as Saint Anselm College cater to those students who are left brain dominant, emphasizing the language-oriented, rational applications of life. Those students with an inclination toward the capabilities of the right brain; creativity, visual features, and emotional associations are at a distinct disadvantage. Perhaps these individuals may assign themselves the role of the outcast or outsider due to the fact that this is the title, which the environment supports.
In order to more correctly understand the relationships between the variables of artistic involvement and quality of life/life satisfaction, different types of populations, (symbolizing a range of diverse backgrounds, personalities, interests and ages), must be explored. This age level needs to be better examined in order to assess the situation. Some suggestions involve conducting the study at a large public university, an art school, at an organization in which the full-time employees are young, making the decision to begin to work rather than continue schooling, as well as another small, private school to ensure the findings were not random. Also, care should be taken that the age ranges of the school are better represented to test for other variables that may be confounding the results.
Also, the information concerning the role of the Arts in ones background and involvement need to be considered. This could be as simple as asking how involved ones parents are, ones earliest memories and activities with the Arts, and finally when this activity ceases, if ever. It is important to understand when this prejudice occurs, and what actions are necessary to combat it.
However, the results yielded some very interesting information involving factors that enable quality of life and life satisfaction, separate from those which develop due to artistic activity. It was decided that the focus would be directed to the subjective elements in the college population. This was due to the fact that those components involved in the objective score, such as money earned, amount of sleep, and times of social events are extremely different than the rest of the population.
The next groups, which were examined, were the male versus female groups. Males deriving life satisfaction from subjective health and productivity and also from safety. Females were more likely to be affected by the areas of subjective material well-being, health, productivity, safety and emotion, as well as objective, health, safety, communication and emotion. Women tend to take a more global, complex view in determining their life satisfaction, while men were more simplistic, reduced to the basic factors in determining their lives importance. Subjective quality of life resulted in somewhat different findings for the males, as well as the three mentioned above, also subjective and objective intimacy correlated highly. Intimacy was also confirmed on this scale as important for the females, as well as subjective communication (see table 3b).
In addition to those suggestions previously mentioned above for areas of research in the arts, it is also important that investigation into the factors that determine quality of life and life satisfaction continue. As was discussed earlier, simply living is not enough. Man must make the best of his condition and pursue those activities that provide enjoyment as well as growth. Although it has been shown that artistic activity is included in such a category, the results from this study did not confirm that fact that artistic activity increases ones quality of life and life satisfaction. If this is not a component, then the need to search out other avenues to increase life satisfaction are necessary. The quest continues.

Investors Need to Take a Closer Look at EU's Banks
Lenders Appear to be Doing Better, but Peeling the Onion Makes for a Less-Pretty Sight.
August is typically a month of rest in Europe, but as the Continent heads out on vacation, investors should stay put and take a closer look at its financial sector.
By recent standards, last week was triumphant for European Union banks. Several lenders, including a few in troubled Spain and France, released decent earnings. At the same time, Barclays PLC and Deutsche Bank AG, two of the most stubborn opponents to regulatory demands...

Guess what!!! We got these great stitch markers for you guys because we love you SO much!
Want some??? Once you hit your 6th shop, you will be given your first purple mountain marker, and a beautiful pin to put it on! THEN, hit your 12th, get another! Hit the 18th, get a 3rd! When you FINISH, you get the super special last one!! SO EXCITING!
You should SEE some of the spreadsheets we've seen over the years!! Obviously, we don't expect you to spend a fortune in every shop you visit. But, many of you want to spend a LITTLE in each place, so write out a budget with a dollar amount you want to spend in each store so you don't blow your wad on the first shop!
Better yet, write down all the supplies you NEED for your upcoming projects, and scratch them off as you get them so you don't overspend.
Of course, there is always that one skein of Cashmere you didn't expect to meet, so there are no guarantees here, people. 😉
Hooray for carpooling! It's such a great occasion when you can spend your day with your friends: yacking, laughing, lunching, and shopping! Not only are you having THE BEST time with your besties, but you are saving money on gas, saving emissions from the planet, and making parking easier! YEA-YUH!
Um, please don't knit and drive. We know red lights are long, but you gotta draw the line somewhere. 😉
YES your babies are cute, and we LOVE that they are sharing in the experience with you! But, unless they are 18 years or older, the only crawling they can do is across the floor over to us so we can pinch adorable cheeks. 😉
So you have a very long name. And email address. And your handwriting is SO beautiful that you like to take your time and dot every "i" and cross every "t"!
We Love You! But HURRY UP! 😉
We know that the lines to enter the Shop Prize Baskets can be long, and the shop owners can NEVER find enough pens. So, our tip of the day is to create address labels with your NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS, and PHONE NUMBER on them so you can stick them on the entry form at every shop, skip the line, and get to SHOPPING!
You can hit up an Office Depot and get a pack of Address Labels that you can either handwrite your info on (there are only 24 shops anyway!), or put in your printer. You can even get a pack of labels easily from Vistaprint!
So get your labels ready, stick it on, and dash!

Dr Bateman told shareholders at Primary's annual meeting in Sydney on Friday that in the first four months of the financial year, patients were visiting their general practitioners in line with expectations but dental revenues were "running below prior year levels" as Primary customers paid fewer visits to their dentists so far this year.
The economic environment and removal of government funding for the Chronic Disease Dental Scheme have taken a bite out of dental revenues.
Dr Bateman also said that by avoiding a recession at the time of the global financial crisis, the Australian economy had been locked into a slower recovery, as opposed to a painful, but shorter term hit.
He said the economy was "slowly grinding uphill" and was unlikely to improve soon from the "hard place" where it was languishing.
If the economy had plunged into recession, it might have bounced back more quickly, he said. Instead, the nation would experience a "ten-year recovery, instead of what might have been a short-term very painful outcome".
Despite the dental downturn, Dr Bateman said the company was on track to meet guidance provided in August of earnings-per-share growth of 7 per cent to 13 per cent in the 2013-14 financial year.
Previously the federal government's CDDS paid just over $4000 for dental treatment, through Medicare, for patients whose teeth problems were so chronic that it was affecting their health. The scheme was ended on November 30 2012.
removal of CDDS scheme impacts
The managing director of listed dental provider
Dr Bateman said it was common for patients to put off dental work during tough or uncertain times. "People are a bit reluctant to spend if they don't have to," he said. "They'll defer it."
However the lacklustre economy has also helped Primary, with the company announcing a refinancing of its syndicated bank debt facility earlier this week.
The facility was due to mature in February 2015, but the $1.25 billion refinancing now provides an extended profile for the company, with half maturing in January 2017 and the other half in November 2018.
The refinancing was "opportunistic", Dr Bateman said.
"The price was right. We saw an opportunity that was present in the current market from the banks who want to lend to good risks. Therefore we get a better price."
Dr Bateman said he was not sure that would be the case in the near future. "I can't foretell the future but my sense is this was a good time."
"It allows you to plan the business without worrying about the unknown of refinancing or the costs at said time [in the future]," he said.
Primary shares were steady on Friday at $4.99.
The stock has gained 4 per cent this week, largely following the news of the refinancing.

Scores arrested at 'Occupy Chicago' protest
CHICAGO (AP) – Anti-Wall Street demonstrators of the Occupy Chicago movement stood their ground in a downtown park in noisy but peaceful defiance of police orders to clear out, prompting at least 100 arrests early Sunday, authorities said.
Occupy Chicago spokesman Joshua Kaunert vowed after the arrests that the protesters would be coming back.
"We're not going anywhere. There are still plenty of us," Kaunert told The Associated Press after police began the wave of arrests that took more than an hour to complete.
PHOTOS: Protests against Wall Street
Police began taking people into custody just before 1 a.m. Sunday. Those arrested were led in groups to vans and two large white buses.
"Take me next! Take me next!" some shouted as police began the arrests. Others chanted as they were led off: "We'll be back!"
Officers had begun placing metal barricades around the part of Chicago's Grant Park known as Congress Plaza about 11:10 p.m. Saturday, minutes after the park had closed. Soon after that, police went through the crowd and warned people to leave or risk arrest for remaining in the closed park in violation of a city ordinance.
Several of the protesters who remained inside the barricades in the park sat on the ground in the chilly Chicago night air. Others locked arms and then the arrests began as trickle before picking up speed.
"One: We are the people! Two: We are united! Three: The occupation is not leaving!" demonstrators shouted. Others joined in from just outside the park.
Police said they made approximately 100 arrests early Sunday but did not have a specific count. Kaunert said he expected the final figure to be higher after late arrests but police did not immediate return later calls seeking comment.
Kaunert said those arrested were non-violent.
"Everybody was very peaceful and smiling and there was no violence, though a lot of chanting," he said.
He urged authorities to let the people resume protesting peacefully against the perceived corporate greed and other ills they see on Wall Street and elsewhere. He noted it was the second straight weekend that arrests had been made in the park after 175 arrests the previous Sunday after protesters set up tents past public hours.
"The police came in and again took away our right to free speech and assembly," he said. "Several paddywagons left and they had two very large prison buses and those are gone now."
Paulina Jasczuk, a 24-year-old dental receptionist, watched as her boyfriend, Philip Devon, was led away in the night hours. She threw him a white sweater against the chill.
"I'm proud of everyone who got arrested tonight," she told AP, adding she hoped they would inspire more demonstrators to join in the movement in the weeks ahead.
Demonstrators were taken away one by one and handcuffed with white plastic ties and. Some on the scene shouted: "This is what democracy looks like!"
Drums banged and some people clanged on metal.
Jonathan Sumner, 25, of Chicago, watched the arrests from outside the park and began shouting at officers: "Why are you doing this?"
"It's a sad day for the CPD" he said, referring to the Chicago Police Department.
Some said earlier that arrests only signal the importance of the Occupy movement.
"This movement will not be a serious movement until we take a stand, and getting arrested is just one way of taking a stand," said Max Farrar, 20, a junior political science major at DePaul University, speaking Saturday to a reporter.
About 1,500 people gathered for Saturday's protest, descending on the city park with hopes of making it the movement's permanent home. The group started in Chicago's financial district and marched to the park.
Along the way, marchers chanted "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!" and held signs that read "Greed Sucks" and "No War But The Class War" while police on horses blocked them from walking on the street on Michigan Avenue, leaving them with just the sidewalks to occupy.
Occupy Wall Street began a month ago in New York among a few young people, and has grown to tens of thousands around the country and the world.
A city ordinance prevents the Occupy Chicago group from camping outside the Federal Reserve Bank and although the protesters want to make Grant Park their permanent home, they lack permits for their occupation. Some called the ordinance "unconstitutional."

There are many kinds of people out there and by that logic that means there are many kinds of gamers. I'm going to share a few tips on turning your gaming experience from a Cheeto covered mess into a time that even Dean Martin would be proud of, which is a beautiful transition into our first point:
- Listen to Swing Music, Always
If they're is anything I learned from Fallout 3 its this; you are the most classy blowing monsters heads off with shot guns whilst listening to the lovely sounds of the 40's. So next time you swing on to your Xbox and play some COD do it listening to the sounds of one of America's greatest generations.
Listen to this while reading the rest!
2. Drop the Coke and Bring out the Champagne
No more Mountain Dew binges and staying up for 3 nights straight to grind with your guild. We're breaking out the classy drinks; Cocktails, wine, champagne, the works and if you're under 21 (or the legal drinking age in your state) then pick up sparkling cider, which is just as classy. But remember, drinking and Mario Karting is not classy make sure you have a designated driver (and no I don't mean double dash).
3. No More Gaming in Your Boxers, Buy a Robe!
Gone are the days of the stereotypical gamer playing in his/her underwear in the mid afternoon. Rip a page out of Hugh Hefner's book and put on a robe. It's warmer, is more appealling, and most importantly it is classy!
4. No More Gamer Chairs, Game in Style with Old-Style Chairs by Roaring Fires
Yes, the rocking chair that plays the sound through the sides is very cool, but if you want to be classy you need to place your behind on a chair made of real leather (or fake leather if you're a classy cow lover) that looks like its from the golden days. Sure, it may be uncomfortable and maybe even a little painful, but we sacrifice great things for our comfort. Also, if you have a fireplace use it. The classiest of gamers always play by a roaring fire and if you don't have one, well... I'm not suggesting you go setting things on fire in your room...
Okay so now you know how to game with class so go forth and put some more class in the gaming community!

What I know about wrenches could fill a small toolbox. What these guys know about wrenches could fill a large warehouse.
They are the folks who belong to the Garage Journal forum. I wouldn't go to them to learn about power tools but they know just about all there is to know about mechanics tools. Here's what a senior member has to say about wrenches. Of particular interest is the chart posted by Joe B. (it's about half-way down the page) that shows the relationship between the number of teeth in a ratchet and arc swing. The relationship is not linear so there are diminishing returns to adding more teeth.

Cooperative Matching Funds
Policies and Guidance for Avoiding Competition with the Private Sector in USGS Water Programs
An important part of the mission of the U.S. Geological Survey is to continually assess the water resources of the nation. To carry out this part of its mission, the USGS has historically worked closely with water-resource agencies at all levels of government in setting priorities for its work and in funding its activities. In working closely with its many stakeholders, the USGS often addresses issues which have significant private sector involvement, as well. We understand that the expertise and capabilities of the hydrologic consulting community continue to evolve, and the emphasis on the privatization and outsourcing of work previously done by Federal agencies is increasing. Within this changing technical and political environment, it is important for the USGS to continually assess what activities are appropriate in fulfilling its mission and which are more appropriate for the commercial consulting firms in order to avoid competition with the private sector. In general, if the project provides services readily available from the private sector and is driven solely by an operational need of the cooperator to meet an agency-specific requirement (such as a design or permit application), the USGS should not undertake it.
An External Task Force Review of the Cooperative Matching Funds Program completed in 1999 provided several recommendations to Water Programs related to competition (USGS Circular 1192, p. 19). One of those recommendations related specifically to a changing technical climate.
To address this recommendation, we are convening roundtable 'listening sessions' with wide participation at major national conferences involving topical areas where competition could be a potential issue. The results of these listening sessions are being used to develop guidance documents for our field offices that support and clarify the USGS policy on avoiding competition in relation to specific activities.
What follows is a listing of resource documents on policies, guidance, and future plans for addressing issues related to competition. Comments and questions on this information can be directed to Ward Staubitz, National Coordinator for the Cooperative Matching Funds Program, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 703/648-5061.

text: The pay for new head football coaches at big-time college athletic programs is about 7 percent higher this year than last, USA Today [1] reported, based on a survey by the newspaper. While that increase is smaller than the one the previous year, other expenses are on the rise. The new cohort of coaches includes many more than in years past who were previously head coaches at other institutions, and whose past employers were owed substantial sums in buyouts paid by the new hiring institutions.

HK tycoon to bid $1.3b for F1
Page Tools
Hutchison Whampoa, the Hong Kong conglomerate controlled by the tycoon Li Ka-shing, is preparing a $US1 billion ($1.3 billion) bid to buy Formula 1 in a move that will send shock waves through the motor racing game.
Tom Group, the media company controlled by Hutchison, has held talks with the three banks - JPMorgan, BayernLB and Lehman Brothers - that own a 75 per cent stake in SLEC, the ultimate holding company for the subsidiaries that own the commercial rights to Formula 1 and manage the sport.
Executives from Tom Group have met Bernie Ecclestone, who has controlled Formula 1 for more than two decades. Mr Ecclestone owns 25 per cent of SLEC through Bambino Holdings, an offshore family trust.
A banker close to the negotiations said: "Hutchison wants to add F1 to its media empire. It sees great potential for F1 in Asia and it is now spending a lot of time and effort cosying up to Bernie. The banks are quite happy to sell out."
Tom Group's interest in F1 will shock the motorsport world. Hutchison, which is best known in the UK and Australia as the owner of 3, the mobile phone operator, and Mr Li, Hong Kong's richest tycoon, do not have any interests in motorsport.
The three banks inherited their stake in SLEC in 2002 after Kirch, the German media group, collapsed and defaulted on a $US1.6 billion loan used to finance its acquisition of the stake in the F1 parent company. The trio have since written down the value of their stake in SLEC and are now prepared to sell at a lower price.
In March, the banks and Mr Ecclestone reached a settlement over voting rights, allowing the trio to wrest control of the sport's commercial rights.
Mr Ecclestone was unavailable for comment last week but it is understood that he is considering whether to give his support to the Tom Group bid.
Although the three banks are free to sell their stake to Tom Group without Mr Ecclestone's backing, the Hong Kong group is not prepared to buy into SLEC in the absence of the Englishman's approval.
The banker said: "Tom Group knows that they need Bernie to run F1. Bernie is the defining figure in the sport and Tom wants him to continue doing what he does best."
Mr Ecclestone is also on the boards of Formula One Admin-istration and Formula One Management, the two companies that run the sport on a day-to-day basis. FOA and FOM are subsidiaries of Formula 1 Holdings, which is controlled by SLEC.
A consortium of F1 manufacturers including Mercedes and Toyota has threatened to form a breakaway franchise if they don't get a bigger slice of F1's profits.

AmphibolyAlias: Amphibology
Type: Ambiguity
…[C]onsider the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution:No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger…

Linguistically, an amphiboly is an ambiguity which results from ambiguous grammar, as opposed to one that results from the ambiguity of words or phrasesthat is, Equivocation. The fallacy of Amphiboly occurs when a bad argument trades upon grammatical ambiguity to create an illusion of cogency. Amphibolies are often linguistic boobytraps, but less frequently do they occur in fallacious arguments.
There are at least the following distinct types of amphiboly:

Chhapra, April 30: Soft on Lalu Prasad, Rabri Devi and their daughter Misa Bharti, Narendra Modi today went hard after "Ma-Beta (Sonia and Rahul Gandhi)" in his election speeches in the state.
"All of you have seen Ma-Beta addressing election rallies at several places in Bihar. Did you find Ma-Beta ever sharing dais with Laluji?" the BJP prime ministerial candidate asked.
He said: "Malai chanpne ke liye Ma-Beta Laluji se alliance ko parde ke peechhe rakhte hain. Ye doglapan hai (Mother and son keep their alliance with Laluji behind the curtains to enjoy power and lucre. It is downright double standard)".
Modi later corrected himself and replaced the word doglapan by dohrapan (almost similar in meaning but relatively less derogatory) in the later part of his speech.
The BJP mascot used the respectful suffix of ji, while referring to the state's most powerful family calling them Laluji, Rabriji and Misaji against mocking Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi as Ma-Beta or Ma-Bete ki Sarkar at least seven times during his 30-minute speech from 3pm at the airport ground of Chhapra, the headquarters of Saran district, about 70km northwest of Patna.
The ground in the Saran Lok Sabha constituency where Rabri Devi is seeking election following a lower court convicting her husband (Lalu) in a fodder scam case and banning him from joining the poll fray was packed to its size. About 50,000 people attended the rally. People in large numbers were seen on the streets beyond the ground and some had climbed trees to listen to Modi, defying the 40°C temperature.
As usual, the Muslims, by and large, kept away from his rally. Shakeel Anwar, a professor of political science at Jaglal Rai College and a noted anchor of social events in the city was seen hurriedly speeding past the venue of the rally on his motorcycle, while Lalu Prasad addressed an election meeting at Khaira-Patti, barely 10km from Chhapra where Modi was playing "cleverly" to woo Lalu.
Virtually rebuffing Modi's sympathetic words, Lalu in his typical style mocked the Gujarat chief minister. "Dhaan ka roti tawa mein, Modi ud gaya hawa mein. Wo PM nahin banega (As a bread of paddy disappears from an oven, Modi has disappeared into thin air. He will never become a PM)," Lalu said.
Portraying a demon-like image of Modi, Lalu said: "Usko dekh kar kasai bhi dar jayega (Even a butcher will be petrified to see him)."
In sharp contrast, Modi cautiously selected his words while referring to Lalu, who has never lost to the BJP candidate, Rajiv Pratap Rudy, and has represented Saran (previously Chhapra) five times. He even sought the audience's permission to speak on Lalu-Rabriji.
"Agar main Laluji-Rabriji par bolunga to aap bura nahin na manengien (Would you mind if I speak on Laluji and Rabriji)?" Modi asked. When the "na (no)" came in chorus from the audience, Modi said: "Laluji, Rabriji and Misaji, you should understand that Ma-Beta are using you to grow in their power but are humiliating you too. Ma-Beta are strong at your strength but they are not ready to give you the proportionate respect."
Political observers described Modi's gesture for Lalu and family as extending an olive branch to the RJD chief. Modi, believed to be ahead of others in the race to become the Prime Minister, might be trying to keep Lalu in a good humour keeping his eyes on the post-poll scenario, a BJP leader at the meeting said.
Addressing election meeting at Sheohar, Ujiarpur, Chhapra and Hajipur, the Gujarat chief minister predicted an imminent fall of the UPA government and ascendance of the BJP one. "The elections across the country concluded so far has laid the foundation of the BJP government in the making. The rest of the polls would help give a strong and stable government," Modi said.
Taking a potshot at the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, Modi said: "While replying to reporters' query in Guwahati recently, Manmohan said he did not find any wave in Modi's favour. How can Manmohan see a wave in my favour when he has not seen sky-rocketing price rise, growing unemployment, large scale corruption and suicide of farmers in the past 10 years?" Modi asked mockingly.
Keeping himself away largely from the big national and local issues, Modi told the youths: "I live to fulfil the dream of the young generation between 18 and 28. Give me only 60 months of chance against 60 years to the Congress to serve you. I shall do everything to get your dream realised".
Modi's remark on chief minister Nitish Kumar was laconic but as sharp as scissors. "Saatven aasman se tir chalane wale ko shikashta dein (Defeat the one shooting arrow from the seventh heaven)," Modi said, obviously referring to Nitish whose JD(U) has arrow as its poll symbol.
The candidates from Saran and Maharajganj — Rudy, Janardan Singh Sigriwal — and the local BJP MLAs were on the dais with Modi.

Okay, but seriously, I posted a serious and earnest request for information and received what I perceive to be an incomplete response. I can understand diagnosing condensation inside the car as a problem with the moisture barrier in a door. Are the rear ones prone to failure versus the front ones? If so, is there a way to narrow down which door seal might have failed without taking the door completely apart?
I seriously doubt the moisture barrier would cause water to be leaking from the ceiling. The archives point to problems with the front drain tubes coming loose, could explain the leak over the driver's seat. Are there rear drain tubes in this model of BMW? If so, how do you clear them, assuming they're blocked?
On Mye28.com, people respond within hours. I'm not used to the E39 forums. I appreciate that I got a response here; I have not gotten one yet on bimmerforums.com.
Thanks for any help y'all can give.
