Dressel Rebel's Marvel Universe Customs
Dressel Rebel:
I finished up a 3 3/4" custom of Mystique today.
I've not too swift with a camera, so these will do for the moment.
I used a base figure of Ms. Marvel Carol Danvers, some paint and a snippet of my wife's wedding dress for the soft goods (shhhhh don't tell).
Dressel Rebel:
Hey all!
2 new Marvel Universe customs!
1st up: Bullseye
I used an Electro that was hanging around on the Walmart pegs forever, because I hated the Wave 1 version of Bullseye which was way too short and stocky for my liking. But the Electro head and body was a direct hit! Even the smirk was a pretty nifty match.
Next: Warren Worthington III
I'm not sure I'm thrilled with the head, it's okay. But overall I love the way he came out. He's made from MU Torch and DC Hawkman wings.
Thanks for looking!

Yvonne Hogan - Along came baby
Dressing for breastfeeding is hard, as Yvonne discovers in Dundrum...
The first two weeks with the baby have been quite a steep learning curve. It took me quite a few days to realise that she wasn't going to fit into my schedule. I would have to fit into hers. And dear God, hungry newborn babies are uncompromising. When they want food, they want it straight away.
They don't care whether or not you are wearing something conducive to breastfeeding with an audience; they aren't bothered by the mortified husband; the old man staring or the group of teenage boys giggling and watching in part fascination, part horror as you struggle to maintain some sort of modesty.
Oh no. "That's your problem," they scream. "I am going to eat now!"
So, in our first week together out in the big bad world, I have had to lob out a boob and feed her on the Luas, in a café, and sitting on a concrete step in the car park of Dundrum Town Centre (my husband forgot where we parked the car and had to walk every floor until he found it, which took almost an hour - it isn't just mammies who get baby brain, you know).
And dressing for breastfeeding is hard. Much harder than maternity dressing. Whatever you wear has to button down the front or the side, and you can only wear separates --or you end up exposing a lot more than a bit of breast. On one unplanned public feeding occasion, I was wearing a jumper dress. It wasn't pretty.
I didn't want to buy any clothes until I had lost the baby weight -- 9kg for those who are interested -- but I think I will have to, and soon.
Anyway, in hindsight, this unscheduled public feeding hasn't been such a bad thing. There is nothing like a screaming baby and the staring eyes of strangers to make you forget about the pain of a piranha-like baby latching on to a sore nipple.
I reckon our baptisms of fire pushed us forward at least a week in terms of getting comfortable with breast-feeding.
Two weeks in, we are now old pros and can do it pretty much any time, any place.
Now that I have accepted that my day is no longer divided into hours and minutes, but feeds and nappy changes, I must say I am quite enjoying this slow-moving, baby-centred universe.
We get up at about 9am, have breakfast -- she goes first, of course -- then I have a shower, get dressed and do some housework while she sleeps. Then, she has another feed and sits in her swing while I potter.
We go for a walk, weather permitting, then a feed, then we play or go for a coffee if we don't have a visitor, then a feed, nappy change, then I stare at her for a couple of hours, then a feed, a nappy change, and, before we know it, it is bedtime.
We sleep generally in one to three-hour stints punctuated by feeds -- I am ashamed to say that I still don't wake when she cries, my husband has to rouse me from my slumber -- and the next day we do it all again. It's a good life.
And the support from the State for new babies is amazing. In our 10 days at home, we have had three visits from Lou, our public health nurse.
She looks after Ava while I shower, weighs her and checks that she is doing okay, answers any questions and stays for a coffee and a chat.
It's not all fun and games, however. The feeding can sometimes hurt like hell and there are times when I feel like a dairy cow and find it relentless. I am still afraid to bathe her in case I drop her or she drowns.
I dread the first night we have to spend alone in case I don't wake up to feed her, and I frequently worry that there might be something wrong with her.
The other day, for example, I was holding her and got a fright when the doorbell rang and let a yelp out of me. She didn't even flinch. "Oh God, what if she's deaf?" I said to my husband. I spent the rest of the day standing behind her barking "ba" into her ear like the nun from that 1980s ad. She did not like that.
Maybe it is the baby brain, which isn't a myth -- I brushed my teeth with hand cream just this morning -- but I really can't remember what life was like before I had Ava. I can't imagine being without her.
I can't stop looking at her as she changes, quite literally in front of my eyes.
Every morning she looks different, she does something new and I don't want to miss a second of it. I plan to spend the foreseeable future watching her grow.
So it's goodbye and Happy New Year from me and my little pal.

Ok so I have seen a baby lovebird for sale who's being sold as a Black Masked baby lovebird. Albino father and normal masked blue mother.
I have attached a picture of what the baby looks like:
Hes pretty cute with gorgeous coloring and this is what his sibling from a previous clutch looks like:
I'd like to get into breeding them in the future so I want that to be a possibility but also to bond with Chaos my current lovie who is a Hybrid and infertile
They are asking $110 and he has been hand-raised.
Should I consider him/her?

Andie Ho and I worked separately on translating the same document. On Saturday, November 5th, we will compare our word choices and strategies. Eve Bodeux will present the two translations and serve as moderator. The document we chose is topical and full of interesting (and frustrating) challenges: Pokémon Go puise dans nos instincts les plus profonds
That's right, this year it is all about the Pokémon. For the month or so I was working on this project, I had tabs open with the names of all of the Pokémon in English and French – and of course, going to the local Pokéstop was research :).
Go Team Valor! / Allez Équipe Bravoure!]]>
This year, I hope to build on the advice I gave last year, but go even farther into the "Innovative, Illogical, and Irreverent." It should be fun, useful, and maybe, just maybe, help you out of a tight spot at 2 a.m. I am looking forward to seeing you all there (and consuming a truly immodest amount of Chicago pizza).
– Disappear, INXS, Farriss, Jonathan James / Hutchence, Michael Kelland
I should start with a confession. I am a lousy singer. I know many fine translators who feel that their musical aptitude has a direct connection to their abilities as translators. I can't argue against the advantages of a musical education, but can only struggle on bravely without them.
Nonetheless, I find that one of my few experiences in the musical world is often helpful when I am trying to produce a translation. Let me back up at this point to give you some background on one of the more unlikely parts of my childhood. I was in the children's choir at my church for several years. This choir was set up with a few basic concepts that were generally understood even by the kids involved.
With these basic ideas in mind, the choir directors were gentle with their criticism and made few attempts at teaching us anything so advanced as learning to read music. For my part, I did try, but kept getting lost trying to figure out when one note was higher than another. Again, if you are looking for a translator to handle musical subjects, I am not it. If you have ever boggled at my ability to decipher complex legal texts, I am just as amazed at anyone who can carry a tune. Give me a regulatory document any day.
All of this is very nice, but what does it have to do with translation? The connection comes in a rare moment of unhappiness for our little band. This choir was structured to remove virtually all sources of stress so this occasion stood out in my mind and it came from an unexpected direction. The choir directors had managed through skill or luck to find a song that exactly suited the range of the children in the choir. The song and the singers were one and while we were all singing, the song seemed to stand outside us. One kid actually stopped singing because she could not hear herself. Several other kids piped up to say they had also noticed this problem. The directors explained that was not a problem, but actually a desired effect (mind you, it was a bit of a problem that singing in tune was a novelty, but I will leave that trauma to the memoirs of those poor choir directors).
We talk a lot in the translation community about how the invisibility as a goal can hamper the standing of our profession, but I want to spend just one minute about talking about the simple beauty of the effect. Yes, it can be unnerving to find your words fall out of your mind into the world as if they were always there, but it is the desired effect. And waiting for that sensation to begin, the feeling of falling into a void through sheer perfection is still something I work to attain. Music is not my path, but it did at least show me that there was a path and I am grateful it could do at least that.]]>
The session is currently scheduled for Saturday at 4pm, but this is a preliminary schedule so please check your program when you arrive – and come say hi (or bonjour or hola, etc.)!
Did you know?
Those are just the easy tips. I am going to be spending a loooong time in the TM mines.
What do you think? Do you love legal translation as well? If not, what do you love about your corner of the translation world?]]>
Client #1: This client found me in the ProZ directory in 2011 and sent an email asking if I would be willing to complete a test translation:
I know that test translations can be controversial in some circles, but on the internet where no one knows you're a dog, I understand when a client prefers the reassurance of a test (or small initial project). I replied that I would be happy to complete a short test of 250-300 words, but would charge my standard rate for longer tests. The project manager stated that this test was longer, but they were willing to pay my standard rate. They were happy with my test translation, I was happy with the payment and we all lived happily ever after (well, not quite, but that is a story for another day). This client was my largest customer in 2012.
Client #2: Personal networking through Twitter and at ATA Conferences
I have worked with this translator/editor on many projects. We have compatible working styles that make for an easy collaboration. I think the fact that we have a friendly relationship helps with our working relationship. Nonetheless, before we started working together, she requested samples of similar translation projects – trust but verify.
Client #3: Dropped business card in fish bowl at a local Business Expo
Yes, that's right. I dropped my business card in a fish bowl at large, multinational company's booth at a general business event and received an email asking about my rates and translation experience. My work flow with them has gone up and down as they have adjusted their business model and Project Managers have come and gone. I have been working for this company since 2009 which makes them one of my oldest continuous clients (I founded my translation business in 2008). I think it is important to note that their booth had nothing to do with translation or even international business.
Clients #4 & 6: Contacted directly through ProZ email
It doesn't get much easier than this. I have maintained my ProZ membership, kept my profile up to date, and was contacted by these agencies when they needed legal translation. Of course, not every potential client who saw my profile contacted me or selected my services, but these are excellent results from what is essentially a passive effort.
Client #5: Established relationship at a Translation Conference
I attended a translation conference in Québec which required a bit more travel, but was ultimately rewarding both for the knowledge and the networking opportunities. I picked up a new translation project at the conference itself and established several relationships that may yet lead to new work.
Client #7: ProZ.com Connect! Jobs
Connect Jobs are not posted on the main page, but are instead emailed directly to translators who meet a specific set of qualifications. These are not guaranteed jobs, but as the pool of translators is smaller, I have seen a better rate of return than with general job postings. In fact, I did not acquire any of my top clients by replying to a generic job posting on ProZ or other site.
As I go further down the list, the numbers get smaller, the sources get more random, and I have lost track of some of the initial contact information. Many of the clients with smaller totals are individuals and other one-off jobs. Even more intriguing, number eight on my list for last year is on track to be in my top three this year, but I have lost track of how we made the initial connection. Who knows what the rest of 2013 will bring?
Final Thoughts
There is no one magic source to find clients. Memberships in ProZ and ATA definitely made a difference. I found clients (or they found me) via ProZ, at conferences, and networking events unrelated to translation. In many cases, it took a number of years and multiple connections to form a business relationship. Finding translation clients requires a combination of active and passive techniques, flexibility, and a healthy dose of patience. Now keeping clients… that is a subject for another day.]]>
Did I learn Latin?
But my goal was not to learn the entire language, but simply to learn more than I had before I began. On this measure I can claim success. I am not going to be talking to any dead Romans any time soon, but I discovered, or perhaps rediscovered, a lot of vocabulary. After studying French and Spanish, I found many terms familiar. In fact the Wheelock book is set up to exploit this familiarity with many charts showing words with similar roots in French, Spanish, Italian, and English. My biggest challenge was declensions, as I had suspected it might be from the very beginning. I have heard that in Shakespeare's time, beatings were considered to be integral to the Latin learning process. Judging from the number of times Wheelock insisted that I memorize lists declensions, I do not doubt that a brute force, rote learning approach would be quite effective. As I was only "sampling" Latin, I skimmed (shhh!) the lists of declensions. However, I did come to understand how Latin's declensions contribute to its reputation for being an elegant language. The declensions are very specific, but because of this, they contain a lot of information.
I also met my language learning goals in another way. This is a chart of "sum," the Latin verb "to be."
Students of French and Spanish will again find this very familiar – and yet different. In some ways it reminds me of Catalan or other Romance languages just out of reach. When I see these subtle changes in words, I think of cultures and individual people rubbing against each other, sharing and changing their language. I do not believe that Latin is the one, perfect, original language as it has often been portrayed. It is a root language, but one of many that shared and influenced others across the years. I feel like I cannot lose with this pursuit of language. Either I find something new and unexpected or an old friend.]]>

4. Check the box pledging that the information you have provided is correct and you are willing to send documentation if requested.
5. Answer a simple Math Captcha (Ex: "What is 7 + 10?") to show that you are a human being, or at least a human being with some rudimentary math skills.
That is it!]]>

early 13c., "lawsuit," from Anglo-French plai (late 12c.), Old French plait "lawsuit, decision, decree" (9c.), from Medieval Latin placitum "lawsuit," in classical Latin, "opinion, decree," literally "that which pleases, thing which is agreed upon," properly neuter past participle of placere (see please). Sense development seems to be from "something pleasant," to "something that pleases both sides," to "something that has been decided." Meaning "a pleading, an agreement in a suit" is attested from late 14c. Plea-bargaining is first attested 1963. Common pleas (early 13c.) originally were legal proceedings over which the Crown did not claim exclusive jurisdiction (as distinct from pleas of the Crown); later "actions brought by one subject against another."

Wease Show Rundown 7-16-13
Tuesday Talkers
Wease goes through a quick roundup of local news to catch people up on what happened over the past 24 hours including body found in search of a missing boater in Sodus, someone won a million bucks on a scratch off ticket, and a Rochester man shot and killed while walking his dog. The shooting story leads to a discussion of news sources because some site say it was a stray bullet, but some never mention that as the cause. I'm sure more discussion of the stories will happen when we talk Doug later
32 years ago . . . in1981- HARRY CHAPIN (most famous for the heartbreaking song "Cat's In The Cradle") was killed when his car was struck by a tractor-trailer on New York's Long Island Expressway. Even though they were a decade away from meeting Billy and Wease were in the same place when this happened... at a Doobie Brothers concert at the War Memorial. We talk about his great tunes including "Taxi", and it's followup "Sequel".

Tennis star Agnieszka Radwanska has been dropped from her role as ambassador for a Catholic youth movement after she posed nude in ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue, according to Agence France-Presse.
A Polish Catholic group known as Krucjata Mlodych, or Youth Crusade, said it was severing its relationship with the 24-year-old Polish native for what it said was "immoral behavior" in the ESPN spread.
Radwanska, a devout Catholic, had previously urged young Poles to assert pride in their faith in television ads for the group in which she spelled out the word "Jesus" with tennis balls, AFP reported.
Last night was the MLB Homerun Derby, won by Oakland A Yoenis Cespedes, beating the National's Bryce Harper in the final. Talking about this Cuban born player leads to Wease talking about another baseball player from Cuba... Fidel Castro.
The All Star Game is tonight. Starting pitchers are the Mets Matt Harvey, pitching at home in Citi Field vs. 13-1 Max Scherzer from the Detroit Tigers.

Tom Cotter
Comedian Tom Cotter joins us on the phone to promote his shows this weekend at The Comedy Club in Webster. Tom is the only comedian to ever make the finals of America's Got Talent. Tom talks about the process behind the scenes of the popular TV show, how he lost to a dog act, is hosting the Vegas "AGT Live Show". Funny guy.
Our pal Elvio Fernandes joins us in studio. It's awesome that a guy we've spent so much time with over the years is now touring the world as a member of the band Daughtry. He tells us about his time on the road, the bands he's worked with, and his life as a touring musician. Daughtry (with Elvio) are playing at CMAC tonight with 3 Doors Down. Halestorm, and Bad Seed Rising (a band of kids that Elvio says are great). Let's go back in time to when Elvio sang with Mitty and the Followers at Wease's 4th of July party.
More With Elvio
Elvio talks about playing in his hometown, soccer, cover songs, the urban myth surrounding the Phil Collins song "In The Air Tonight", and we play a round of Elvio Trivia to give away tickets.
Bonus Content... Hammock Honeys
Elvio also tells us about the best band he's ever seen live... The Zac Brown Band.
Elvio also tells the story of how he met Chris Daughtry...(The very shortened story) his band Uncle Plum released a cd which got into the hands of R&B star Brian Mcknight, who introduced him to singer Ace Young. He and Ace became friends, and when Ace became a contestant on American Idol he told feelow contestant Chris Daughtry about his buddy Elvio, and over the course of time as Chris' fame increased the size of his band grew, including our buddy, who is also writing songs with him.
Tony D Trivia
We have a pair of tix to Daughtry for a little Tony D trivia... pretty funny that people couldn't guess the answer to "What is Tony's D's last name?" even though Wease and the crew gave a million clues that give it away.
Did you ever see the video for Daughtry's song "Outta My Head"? Look for Elvio's big scene at the one minute mark.
Tomorrow's Show
Will we be talking to Def Leppard tomorrow? Pauly's email chain with their management is over 30 emails trying to arrange it. We'll be doing a new edition of Ask Wease, so get your questions in, Tools and Doug will give us legit news and sports, and find out how hungover Wease will be after going to CMAC tonight with Tony D. It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice. See Ya.

Tired of all the talk of currency wars, the Holy See wants peace.
The Vatican this week called for G-20 leaders, meeting in Cannes early next month, to set up a global central bank. The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace's statement is only available in Italian but here's an article from the Telegraph:
Such an authority would have "universal jurisdiction" over governments' economic strategies.
Existing financial situations such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund were outdated and no longer able to deal with the scale of the global financial crisis, which had exposed "selfishness, greed and the hoarding of goods on a grand scale".
The global financial system was riddled with injustice and failure to address that would lead to "growing hostility and even violence", which would undermine democracy.
The church's call for action is not dissimilar to a point made by some of the world's leading economists. Read more

Yet another copywriter has contacted me today, rattled by the footsteps of burn-out coming up behind him, getting louder.
It's a constant threat, for everyone who works hard and deep in their business. For decades now, people have had a good laugh at the expense of the guy going through his "mid life crisis". It's a standard issue joke. The guy is not to be pitied, but mocked.
Bad form, you know, wandering away from the shackles of work. Even for a brief adventure.
Bad form.
Well, it's not a joke after you've put some miles on the old chasis. I have good friends going through legitimate "What's it all about?" crises, and the pain is real. After slaving away for The Man all their adult lives, they're now looking back on things, rather than staying focused on what's coming up. Not a whole lot left coming up, it sometimes seems.
For most people, much of the hot-and-heavy action is now in the past. And that realization will unsettle you.
This most recent example of near-burn out, however, is still in his early twenties. It's now officially an epidemic, from where I sit. I'm seeing people from every stage of life going into wicked tail-spins, so it's a subject worth revisiting. Often.
But a steady drumbeat of "you gotta take off more fun time" advice doesn't cut through the nonsense clean enough. People hear the message, but it doesn't sink in.
Too much work to be done, and done today. No time to even think about time off…
So let's try another angle: I just read a book review on a new release titled "Happiness", by a guy with pop psychology credentials. I won't be reading the entire tome, because I "get" what he's going on about — life, it turns out, isn't about acquiring things or even meeting goals. Studies prove that more toys and recognition doesn't make you happier.
Instead, what the "happiness" doctors know is that a Zen-style awareness is the only way to guarantee you're happier than normal. You gotta groove on the little things in your life — just being with friends, breathing deep, living well, that sort of thing.
Hardly a revelation. Worth a nod, though.
But what struck me in the review was this quote from a 10th century Spanish governor: "I have now reigned about fifty years in victory or peace. Riches and honors, power and pleasure, have waited on my call. I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my lot. They number to fourteen."
Fourteen days, in half a century of being The Man. No money worries, respect up the yin yang, made up his own rules and forced people to follow them, probably a harem.
And he was only happy for a fortnight.
I feel richer than Bill Gates now. I've studied people all my life, and long ago realized that money wasn't the answer to happiness. Nor new cars or new lovers or new anything else. There's a "sweet spot" where you have enough dough to make the rent for the forseeable future, and enough romance to keep your hormones on a low boil, and a car that's fun to drive… but those needs are easily met.
Looking back, I was more ecstatic about the first hundred-dollar check I earned as a freelancer than I was about the small fortune I just cashed for a single job. Decades after the overwhelming chaos of my first super-intense young-love affair, I'm pretty happy I don't have to go through that kind of sweet pain every day. And I still miss my dinged-up old '80 Celica rattletrap GT liftback — one of the ugliest cars ever made, but a low-slung spaceship for me. I've never sat in a cockpit as snug, comfy and compelling as that used-and-abused Toyota.
I drove it for ten years. When I shut the engine off the last time, it never started again. Exhausted, ready for the yard. But honored, because it made me happy.
I feel rich because I can count many days of happiness in my past. And — more important — I'm eagerly looking forward to many more. I have to plan for them now, of course… where in my wayward youth they were difficult to keep from happening spontaneously.
I've never NOT known what juiced my system.
And now — with all these books coming out about happiness, and all these people expressing fear of burn-out — I realize how rare that self-knowledge is.
I am not the happiest guy on the planet. I'm pretty sure of that.
But I wouldn't WANT to be that guy. Much of the pleasure of a well-lived life is anticipation. Like that first check in my career, it's often the struggle, and not the arrival, that is the most fun and adventurous and breathtaking. You never get to repeat your first trip to Europe, or your first breakthrough in business, or your first kiss.
Those are special moments.
I always felt irritation at Woody Allen movies (back when they were good) when he just refused to abandon his neuroses to the moment, and had to screw a good thing up because he couldn't shut off the nonsense. Of course, done right, this is the crux of that kind of comedy.
But a lot of people just nod and commiserate — because they recognize the behavior. That's just the way I am too, they say. Why are you laughing?
If finding out what the shrinks have discovered about happiness is something you need to pursue, get the book. Let me know if it's any good. Also try "Learned Optimism", one I can recommend without hesitation.
But mostly, I just wanted to inject some more street-level reality into the conversation. Even a poor man can experience great joy, if he's wired into life and living in the moment. And even the richest man can have a poverty of the soul that defies soothing by worldly treasure and pleasure.
The key to finding out what makes you happy… is to begin finding out who you are. That is NOT a default position in most human brains. You have to go in and do a manual set-up in your hard drive.
What I teach are the shortcuts to making it big. I have always focused on the shortcuts because I'm lazy, and I want more time off.
You're doing it wrong if you use the shortcuts in order to fit in more work.
Think about it.
And stay frosty.

|Small Employers and the Federal Affordable Care Act
Plan Changes to Coverage and Eligibility: Changes Effective September 2010 through September 2012
There are other ACA-required reforms that New Jersey's SEH Program already includes, so changes to the standard plans and changes to administration of the SEH Program are not always necessary.
|Tax Credits for Providing Health Insurance
The amount of the credit decreases as the number of FTEs and/or the average wages increase.
|Distribution of Summaries of Benefits and Coverage
What Is An SBC?
Both the SBC and Uniform Glossary of Terms was designed by a committee of interested parties (consumer groups, insurers, employers) in consultation with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and endorsed by the federal government.
Who Has To Complete And Distribute The SBC?
Because employers usually have the most up-to-date information about their employees and an employee's dependents, carriers offering small employer health benefits plans may contract with the employer to distribute the SBCs. The carrier may include language in a rider to the small employer policy that says the employer will send the SBC to the employees and dependents (if any), or the language might be in a separate document. The rider or separate document does not make the employer's obligation any greater, or reduce the carrier's obligation – instead, it sets forth a process to assure that the SBCs are distributed to employees.
When Must An SBC Be Distributed?
An SBC must be distributed to employees and dependents (if any):
Are There Penalties?

SYDNEY — After three trials, a 47-year-old Dominion man charged with sex offences was found not guilty Wednesday.
Joseph Melvin MacNeil was first convicted in 2011 and sentenced to serve four years in a federal prison. That conviction was overturned by the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal which ordered a new trial on the charges. The Crown also referred the case to the Supreme Court of Canada which declined to hear an appeal.
After the third trial last month, Supreme Court Justice Glen MacDougall returned to court Wednesday and delivered a verdict of not guilty on all counts. The two-day trial heard from one Crown witness and six for the defence.
"Both myself and my client are relieved this is finally over," said defence lawyer Tony Mozvik.
He said his client is very glad to now put this all behind him and Mozvik said he was glad the justice system worked.
MacNeil was initially convicted on charges of sexual assault, uttering a threat, unlawful confinement, assault and sexual interference with a person under the age of 14. He was sentenced to serve four years in a federal prison.
The offences were allegedly committed between April 1989 and April 1999 and involved a female complainant. The woman, now an adult, was between the ages of six and 16 at the time of the allegations.
MacNeil spent about five months in jail before being freed on bail while the appeal made its way through the system.
In ordering the case back to trial, the Court of Appeal ruled that the trial judge exercised flawed reasoning in determining a guilty verdict. The court found there were a number of contradictions in the evidence presented by the complainant. The court made reference to defence evidence that clearly established MacNeil was not living in the location described during the alleged time frame of the assaults.

Who needs it? An exploratory investigation into the reaction of small and medium enterprises to mobile data technologies
Harker, Debra & Van Akkeren, Jeanette (2000) Who needs it? An exploratory investigation into the reaction of small and medium enterprises to mobile data technologies. In O'Cass, Aron (Ed.) Visionary Marketing for the 21st century: Facing the Challenge - Proceedings of ANZMAC 2000, School of Marketing and Management, Griffith University, School of Marketing and Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland, pp. 483-487.
Published Version
The technological environment in which contemporary small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operate can only be described as dynamic. The seemingly exponential nature of technological change, characterised by perceived increases in the benefits associated with various technologies, shortening product life cycles and changing standards, provides for the small and medium-sized enterprise a complex and challenging operational context. The development of infrastructures capable of supporting the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)and associated 'wireless' applications represents the latest generation of technological innovation with potential appeal to SMEs and end-users alike. The primary aim of this research was to understand the mobile data technology needs of SMEs in a regional setting. The research was especially concerned with perceived needs across three market segments; non-adopters of new technology, partial-adopters of new technology and full-adopters of new technology. Working with an industry partner, focus groups were conducted with each of these segments with the discussions focused on the use of the latest WP products and services. Some of the results are presented in this paper.

Stevens Model 87H Problem
I just bought a Stevens Model 87H to take apart and learn about and tinker on. I have seen no information on them on the internet. The first thing I noticed is the bolt will not pull back all the way so I can push the pin in and lock it into place. Can anyone please help me figure out what may be going on with this? This is my first semi automatic rifle so I do not know a ton about the inter-workings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Could you post some pics?
It's an older .22 right?
This worked for one guy with the same problem- - -
http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=99589&sid=6b90b0f62724fb9e7f9eb2f4 98af4444
I got home from work today and pulled the rifle apart and cleaned it out then put the firing pin back where it was supposed to go and presto it works again. Thanks for the advise guys. :)
I will post some pics of it tonight.
4 Attachment(s)
Here are a couple pictures of the rifle. It is a project firearm and has taken a lot of abuse. From the pictures you can see the problem I was having with the bolt not pulling back all the way. You can also see the broken butt plate and also the massive amount of dirt in the stock. I can say the gun was rarely if ever cleaned. When I cleaned it out the first 3 barrel patches I ran through came out jet black. I not only used Hoppe's 9 but also decided to douse it down with CLP and give it a good scrubbing. The dirt just poured out of it. I was extremely angry that someone would take care of a firearm like this. After a full cleaning I put it back together and all the mechanics run smooth. I loaded it with a #4 Screw anchor and fired it and the firing pin strikes perfectly and the extractor is working perfectly. I was not able to use live rounds today but tomorrow will be taking it out for the first firing. I was nervous about it at first but now that I know things are clean and working like they should I can't wait.
Looks like it will be a nice rifle. The butt is an easy fix.
It still amazes me how poorly some people take care of their guns. I have seen guns with half a sandbox in them and enough lead to cast some bullets. It will always amaze me.
Yeah that's one reason why I'm not a huge fan of tubular magazines. That and the potential for problems with pointed ammo.

Additional Information
Chukwuma Azuonye's Curriculum Vitae [PDF]
Poet and short story writer Chukwuma Azuonye was at the forefront of the movement of the arts which established the University of Nigeria as a major center of poetry in Nigeria in the 1970s. He is currently the series editor of a 40-volume series, The Nsibidi Library of Nsukka Poets. A versatile scholar, he is a leading expert on African, specifically Igbo, oral literature. His studies of the Igbo oral epic have successfully challenged and revolutionized scholarly thinking worldwide on the genre of the epic. He is also a leading expert on the poetry of Christopher Okigbo. Beyond these areas of specialization, he has become engaged in redefining the canons of African letters through his bold agenda for a comprehensive history of African literature - the organizing principle of both his forthcoming Columbia Anthology of African Literature (co-edited with Steve Serafin) and History of African Literature.
His interest in indigenous African scripts is fast broadening into a scheme for the establishment of the subject as a central component of scholarship on African letters. In addition to numerous scholarly articles, reviews and creative writing in journals and books in Africa, Europe and the Americas, he has published Gedischte aus Biafra (et al, 1969), Nsukka Harvest (ed.,1972), Eagle on Iroko (co-ed. with Edith Ihekweazu, 1996), Edo: Bini People of the Benin Kingdom (1996), Dogon (1996), The Hero in Igbo Life and Literature (2002) and Testaments of Thunder: Poems of War and Crisis (2002).
His forthcoming books include: The Silent Sky: Stories of War and Crisis; Prisoner of Silence & Other Poems; Omenuko (an English translation of the classic Igbo novel by Pita Nwana); Performance and Oral Literary Criticism; Traditional Aesthetic Principles in an Igbo Epic Tradition; Footprints on Rock: Myth, History and Ideology in Igbo Oral Narratives; The Sweet Voice of Tradition: Oral Epic Poetry from the Performances of an Ohafia Igbo Bard; Columbia Anthology of African Literature) co-edited with Steven Serafin).
Additionally, he has just completed a critical study of the organic unity of Okigbo's poetry (The Quest for Fulfillment) and annotated critical editions of his complete poetical works - Labyrinths: Poems; Four Canzones & the Two Early Fragments; and Path of Thunder & the Late Occasional Poems. These works are expected to be available in print before an international conference on the life and works of Christopher Okigbo, scheduled for August 16-19, 2005, and organized in association with the Christopher Okigbo Foundation by a Greater Boston Area intercollegiate committee chaired by Azuonye.

Alice Cooper exceeds the already high expectations during the 2nd night of Iron Maiden's 2012 Maiden England Tour at the Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta, Ga.
Alice Cooper never ceases to amaze me and there is little that can be said that hasn't been said before. The undisputed godfather of Shock Rock has big shoes to fill in supporting Iron Maiden on their 2012 North American Maiden England Tour – and he does so handedly without even breaking a sweat. While credit should be given to the likes of those he has influenced (KISS, Rob Zombie, Marylyn Manson – to name a few) seeing Alice Cooper perform still demonstrates how much the others have to learn. I find it quite easy to go on record as stating there is simply not a better live performance going. Particularly as a photographer – Alice Cooper delivers the Greatest Show on Earth.
Photography Notes:
A brilliantly produced set as always, Alice Cooper allowed the luxury of the first 4 songs from the pit. The pit itself provided minimal depth due to the packed floor seating. Coupled with the high stage at the amphitheater the Nikon 24-70 2.8 and 14-24 2.8 where used exclusively for the well lit session with exposures falling about 1/250 F3.2 ISO1250. Even the snake mugged for me during her appearance in the 4th song. When you find yourself sharing smiles and giving high-fives to fellow photographers in the pit and discussing the experience after the performance instead of chimping your shots – you know you've participated in something very special. Sound, lighting, production, and performance met that of the headliner. Thank you Mr. Cooper, as always. I'd love to tour a few shows with you.

The Ginger Darlings, a trio
but please allow all images to load before doing so, or some may not display
(if this happens, use Refresh from your toolbar to reload the page)
Since the account below was originally written towards the end of 2007, sadly three of the four 'gingers' have died and are buried in Jackie's garden. Martha, 'the old one', was first to go in September 2010, aged about 15. Of the three younger 'Ginger Darlings', as they were known, Maurice died in March 2011 from causes that weren't clear but may have been associated with breathing difficulties he had been experiencing. And Pixie died in September 2012; she also had been having breathing problems, but her actual death may have been down to a large dog that invaded the garden one day. All this is reported in the We Three Cats blog, and also Elmo now has his own Facebook page: I am Cat (also the title of a book by Jackie).
In August 2012, not long before Pixie died, Jackie posted A measure of life in cats with a wonderful illustration of all her cats to that point.
But now there are new arrivals! Rather than perpetuating the line of ginger cats, Jackie preferred to keep memories of them separate and special and take a new direction. Since December 2012 she has had two gorgeous Bengal kittens, brother and sister Mr Genji and Lady Spittifer, also known as Baggage and Bundle. As a pair they're referred to as the 'Bengal Babies' (selected images left and right, between the dividers). Elmo has got used to them, and there are numerous great images and short videos of them on his Facebook page and on the blog page, both linked above.
[ Mid-June 2013: tragically, Genji (aka Bundle) has also now been lost, to a road accident. ]
We liked the Things Maurice taught us, published after his passing, and reproduce them here with permission:
- - - o0o - - -
Artist, book illustrator and writer Jackie Morris lives in 'a ramshackle cottage held together with spider's webs', as she puts it, by the sea on the Pembrokeshire coast of south-west Wales. She shares the cottage with her children Tom and Hannah, two dogs Bella and Floss and five cats.
Max is a dark tabby who enjoys posing for paintings and appears in several of the books Jackie has illustrated. Martha is the oldest of the four ginger cats; she sees it as her duty to purr Hannah to sleep at night and to wake her in the morning. And then there are the 'Ginger Darlings', otherwise known as 'The Three' or 'We Three' Maurice, Pixie and Elmo. The first two arrived after the death of Arthur, Martha's ginger brother; Jackie meant to get one kitten, but 'Arthur had been such a big cat, and they were so small' that she took home two.
They liked to curl up to sleep on top of dog Bella so it was natural that when Bella went for a walk, the kits followed, 'prowling like tiny tigers through the forest of grass, running and hiding and tumbling'. As the youngsters grew, the walks became longer. Elmo, the third of 'The Three', was taken in after black cat Bird died of old age; right from the start he took to joining the walkers. They walk up to four miles a day.
Now, morning and evening, two dogs and three cats accompanying their human make an unusual sight along the Pembrokeshire coastal path. The cats pick their way across moorland, have learned to navigate stiles, and sometimes climb up onto signposts. They don't seem to mind what the weather is like, but they do carefully avoid boggy and muddy areas. Generally Elmo likes to lead, Maurice will wander here and there investigating things and running up hills and gateposts, while Pixie likes to stand as though admiring the view and then leaps out at Jackie as she walks past. The cats will mew for her and the dogs to wait if they get left too far behind.
Ramblers and other walkers, of course, do a double-take when they meet Jackie and her entourage: 'But they're cats ...' One walker told her, 'You're supposed to keep your dog on a lead'; Jackie replied, 'But he's a cat.' Generally the cats are wary of other humans, preferring to sit under a bush and watch them pass, but occasionally they'll say 'hello'. Wild ponies and the Highland cattle that came to share the hillsides made them nervous at first, but now they take most things in their stride. They especially love bees and dragonflies, whose movements fascinate them, and in late summer they enjoy watching and listening to the grey seals and their pups below them on the coast.
The remarkable trio have been featured in Your Cat magazine, in local and national newspapers and on BBC Radio Wales. They are said to be looking for a book contract! They also have their own website and blog which, says Jackie, receives nearly as many visitors as her own site. We hope you will join the visitors to both these excellent sites, where you will find many more pictures and a great deal else. I must say I find the cats' blogspot one of the best and most interesting I have come across, and it's beautifully presented.
We're most grateful to Jackie Morris for contacting us in 2007 about her unusual cats, and for her kind permission to use the superb photos illustrating this account. Many more can be found at the We Three blog/website, which is regularly updated with new additions. See also Jackie's YouTube channel.

Close saves that will have you on the edge of your seat
Watch these incredible clips of parents demonstrating superhuman reflexes and averting crises just before they strike ...
One of the most important skills a parent develops is the ability to do several things at once. Whether it's feeding a baby with one hand and cooking dinner with the other, or keeping a toddler occupied with a story while rocking your baby's pram back and forth with your foot, multi-tasking quickly becomes part of the job.
This ability to do two things at once also encompasses the skill to watch out for potential danger around every corner while ostensibly carrying out routine activities. No one can anticipate a child falling off a couch quicker than a parent – just as no one can make the trip across the room to catch him in under a tenth of a second. Don't believe us? Check out the following close saves that will send shivers down your spine.
The face plant save
A fraction of a second later and there would have been big tears – and possibly blood – but this dad's quick thinking response meant that a crisis was narrowly averted.
Runaway toy car
Right from the beginning of this video, you can tell there's a disaster waiting to happen. So, apparently, could the dad in the clip, who puts in the sprint of his life to save a child standing directly in the path of the runaway car.
Toddler falls from second storey building
We all held our breath in disbelief when this clip of two men saving a toddler in China went viral. Re-live it again and see if you can make it through without your heart stopping for a fraction of a second.
Staircase save
You might want to bite down on something to stop you from yelling out while you're watching this clip …
Have you had a near miss with your little one?

Genetic research into cot death
Research which could help identify families with a genetic cot death risk is to be carried out by UK scientists.
The study comes as a MORI survey shows two thirds of people do not know the importance of placing a baby on its back to reduce the risk of cot death.
It is already known that many babies who die in cot deaths have a defect in an immune system gene which makes them less able to resist infections.
Families who have had one baby die from the condition may, in future, be able to discover if subsequent children are at increased risk.
DNA tests could one day follow from the team's research.
The discovery of a genetic cause for cot death could also explain why some families suffer the tragedy more than once.
The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID), which has granted the Manchester team �106,200, said such families would no longer need to suffer the anguish of suspicion of wrong-doing.
Resources could also be targeted at babies in families which have also been hit by cot death.
Joyce Epstein, director of FSID, said: "We are hoping that this research results in groundbreaking findings which will help our understanding of cot death and ultimately to prevent it happening.
"We won't have any answers for a few years yet. In the meantime parents and carers need to continue to follow the proven messages on reducing the risk for their baby - sleep them on their backs, don't smoke during pregnancy or after the birth and don't let them become too hot."
Dr David Drucker, a reader in microbiology at Manchester who is leading the research, said: "Parents whose babies sadly have died have come forward to ask me to use their tissue samples for my genetic research.
"They want something good to come out of a terrible tragic event.
"We are really excited at the prospect that, with their help, we might uncover the answer to cot death."
The MORI survey also found over 80% of people questioned did not know babies should be placed with their feet at the base of the cot.
And two thirds of the 2,100 surveyed did not know that one baby dies every day from cot death, making it the most common cause of death for infants under one in the UK.
Cot death is the sudden and unexpected death of a baby for no obvious reason. Post-mortems can explain some deaths, but in other cases they remain unexplained and are registered as sudden infant deaths.
Since the Reduce the Risk campaign was launched in 1991, the number of babies dying from cot death has fallen by around 70%.

I'm pretty sure they have internet at cemeteries. No excuses! Being dead shouldn't stop you from trolling!
The best thing is his answer on your TrollPic:
"Hey! yeah that would be great, if you could make a couple of changes? if
you could downsize his nipple and maybe downsize the tattoo? i was
hoping to get the tattoo the same size ratio to the body as it is in the
Tat Pic.
i don't know if what im asking is too difficult or not but
i really REALLY appreciate you taking the time to do it
PhotoshopTroller- thank you!
remember, if it would be easier if you had a different body to work with or a different face to work with – let me know!"
Seems legit. I don't think it was 'shopped at all.
I can't stop laughing.

Pingback: NFL Photoshop Help
diamond titty
Ive never laughed so much! this if feckin hilarious!!!!
Wtf… I was like this is actually pretty good, but the cupcake is a little too big… then I noticed the nipple. It looked so disgusting blown up, all I did was gasp, hold my hand over my mouth, try not to puke, and contain my laughter. I started laughing uncon-troll-ably, then I started puking because the laughter was too much for trying to hold down puke. Then I realized where it came from.
…… a large nipple made you laugh so much you vomited? I am so sorry for your life.
I'm sorry that you're sorry for someone who has a sense of humour and is unabashedly sharing it with sharks like you.
hahaha. Genius!
i hate it when people write too much to have their photo to be new but i like the fights that happen of when they dont like how their photo turned out to be but this pic daaaaaamn its funny
Not bad, not bad at all.
cant stop laughing
Oh, gods, the nipple.
This is golden.
It wouldav been nice if the top of the cupcake touched the nipple. It would be like cherry on top. Lol!
I love this so much

The New York State Legislature was poised Monday night to pass the first gun control measure following the Newtown school massacre.
Sources told Kramer the deal worked out by the Legislature is wide ranging, but it starts with assault weapons.
"We are going to ban assault weapons. We are going to eliminate all of the loopholes that existed previously," Silver said.
The new state legislation will:
* Limit ammunition clips to seven. It's now 10
* Force gun owners to renew their licenses every five years
* Stiffen penalties for using a gun in the commission of a crime
* Stiffen penalties for bringing a gun on school property
* New restrictions on the assault weapons already owned by New Yorkers
"They will be basically not permitted to be transferred. They will be grandfathered in but not in terms of a transfer. There will be a registry,"
N.Y.We Are Going To Ban Assault Weapons
Current Status: Blessed (1)

News of the Moore, Oklahoma, tornado hit close to home for residents of Joplin, Missouri, struck by a similar huge twister in May, 2011, two years ago. Television footage of the massive devastation in Moore "looks hauntingly familiar," Joplin City Manager Mark Rohr told Reuters in a story published on the Huffington Post ("Joplin Tornado Anniversary: Residents Haunted After Moore, Oklahoma Twister," by Kevin Murphy). "It brought back a lot of fear," said resident Sarah Jo Radcliffe. Said resident Wayne Logsdon: "It makes you want to sit down and cry."
But if Moore's experience is wrenching for residents of Joplin to see, Joplin's experience might bring hope to the citizens of Moore. Two years later, Joplin is firmly on the path to recovery, reports USA Today ("Progress continues 2 years after Joplin tornado," by Wes Johnson). "Block after block, new homes have risen, many on the bare foundations left behind after the May 22, 2011, storm," the paper reports. "New roofs — not twisted debris — mark the path of the storm through the heart of the city. A recent tour of the tornado's path revealed only a handful of structures with torn roofs or damaged walls."
"The tornado will forever be on our minds, but as a community, we're moving on," city school Superintendent C.J. Huff said. Said City Manager Mark Rohr: "We want people to know we're rebuilding our town, we're making it better. It's amazing what we've been able to do."

GUIA was built in Trieste in 1970 by Astilleros Mariano Craglietto to a Sparkman & Stephens design number 1909 - the same as that of Mabelle, a very successful Italian boat but with lighter construction for a well known Italian sailor. It was certainly a different era when a yacht this beautiful raced round the World in the first Whitbread Race. S&S seemed to be able to blend the CCA and the then blossoming IOR Rules into capable and fast boats with good looks as a by product. Testament to her fine pedigree GUIA is a wonderful family cruising boat and races successfully on the Mediterranean Classic Circuit.

My name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm the moderator for this topic. I am sorry, but It seems that the professional has left this conversation. This happens occasionally, and it's usually because the professional thinks that someone else might be a better match for your question. But don't worry….. If you are still waiting for an answer, I will try to find a new professional to assist you! Please keep in mind that sometimes finding the right professional can take a little longer than expected. All of our Professionals come on at varying times, so sometimes it's a bit difficult to predict. Either way....If you would prefer not to wait, please feel free to let me know, and I will cancel this question for you. Thank you.
Its been happening for aprox 6 mnths not always sometimes. Yes my penis is flacid when this happens, I do not even have to touch my penis for this to happen. Also during sex i orgasim very quickly most times.
