Dear Lord, my son Eddie was offered a job today by an agency, the man who spoke to him said he would phone him back and another person would phone for his financial details. He emailed everything they asked for but neither of the people phoned him. They said he should start in the morning. He is going to turn up for the work in the morning but knows he may be turned away. I pray that this job will be there for him and that he will have the means to pay his rent, buy food and live a life. He does get very depressed without work and I worry so much about him. I ask that you may be with him Lord and guide and bless him. Please pray for Eddie that he may find work.

The four boxes of leadership: How to figure out which one you're in
"Out of the box" is a business expression for thinking and acting more creatively. It implies that we are either "in the box" (locked into fixed thinking and behaviors) or "out of the box" (having unconventional thinking and behaviors), and that there is nothing in between or beyond.
Paradox: We are already "in the box" in when we think that are are only these two possibilities. And we think being out-of-the-box is the only way to think, and being in-the-box is restrictive. Not always true.
What if there were other variations? One possible list could look like this:
- In the box
- Straddling the box
- Out of the box
- No box
So, what's the application in our real business world? Here are some general characteristics and examples for these "boxed" ways of thinking and acting:
In the box — fixed ways of getting things done
- More rules: Solid guidelines about work content and how it must be accomplished.
- Little creativity: There is little room for other possibilities.
- Focused motivation: People are motivated to do particular work, but not alternatives.
- Specific action: Timelines are adhered to; fixed quantities of work are expected.
Some industries and jobs that have a high level of in-the-box behaviors are m anufacturing production, public administration and transportation systems. Organizations that excel at an in-the-box culture include Colgate-Palmolive, IBM, fire departments, highway departments, Swift Trucking and UPS.
Straddling the box — standard ways of doing things, but with flexibility
- Some rules: Work is done within guidelines, with some situational variations.
- More creativity: Encouragement to see new possibilities by individuals and groups.
- More motivation: Permission to express ideas for improved products and services.
- Flexible action: Some latitude for different actions based upon circumstances.
Examples of industries and jobs that tend to exhibit this straddle-the-box style are h ospitality, r etail sales and banking/financial services.
Businesses that are good at standardized approaches to their operations, yet are noted for some elasticity in dealing with customers, include Hyatt, Wendy's, Nordstrom, Macy's, Citibank and Fidelity.
Out of the box — unconventional ways of thinking and acting
- Few rules: The environment is largely unrestricted for most work.
- High creativity: Ideas flow freely and are initially examined for possible use.
- Strong motivation: People express ideas and action for continuous improvement.
- Rapid action: Ideas often move quickly into reality.
Some jobs and industries that tend to be more out-of-the-box are technology, retail and marketing.
Companies that have demonstrated out-of-the-box actions include Apple Computer, Amazon, Walmart, Tesla, Costco, FedEX and Southwest Airlines.
No box — no precedents, no rules
- No rules – More spontaneity in an open environment with naturally formed teams.
- Maximum creativity – A constant stream of great visions, ideas and possibilities.
- High motivation – People work with an unseen energy that is often amazing.
- Synchronous action – Things happen with sometimes stunning speed and accuracy.
Examples of no-box activities are pure research, brainstorming sessions, and creating or solving "the impossible."
Entities that exhibited a no-box bent have been Xerox and the discovery of xerography, Intel and the semiconductor, Lockheed's "Skunkworks" and two exotic aircraft with theSR-71 and the U-2, and the United States successful race to the moon.
The bottom line
One size does not fit all. Good leaders avoid conforming to one kind of thinking. They intelligently and intentionally move among all the boxes dynamically as needed and as appropriate. Different divisions, departments and jobs need different ways of operating. The best leaders find the right boxes for each.
It's important to understand in which box style all (or key parts of) your company uses; discover the possibilities of any alternative styles that would help the organization; and adopt a new or added one that will boost growth.

Here's a spot for me to appreciate the role so far of the IlanaFrankBenSun grouping in the show. Such an oddball collection of characters, yet somehow so satisfying and agreeable to the mental tastes.
So WHY IS THIS GROUP SO DAMN AWESOME?
1. They are a span of the entire show, bredth wise. Every subsection of characters is in this little group: Sun of the 815ers, Ilana of the 316ers, Ben of the Others, and Frank of the Freighters. Dharma could also sort of be represented by Ben, too, although they aren't really important to what's going on in the show right now.
2. They have a mission. Ilana seems to know what she's doing, and everybody seems to be helping her out. When they emerged in the temple, and their faces popped through that door one by one, it was a very cool hero moment. It was very unexpected, but their confidence was reassuring and awesome. But the point is that there're no questions asked. Sure, there's some intrigue about Ilana. But mostly we know what the group's objective is: TAKE DOWN MiB AND DEFEND JACOB'S PEOPLE! And we know what all the individual characters want too: Ilana wants to defend everyone against MiB, Sun wants Jin, Frank wants something to do, and Ben wants to redeem himself. Okay, maybe there are some contrived claims in the evidence of this subpoint, but you can't deny that there's some serious straight-to-business a-mission going on here.
3. They are stealthy. MiB appears not to know of this little resistance that has formed. He DID see Ilana, but did he know that she wasn't just another other with a gun pointed at him? Anyway, he certainly didn't account for their presence at the temple, let alone that sneaky secret passageway. Whenever evil seems to take over completely in a story this far from the end, good usually has it's turning point from somewhere right under evil's nose. That's where these fine fellows come in.
4. It has Frank in it. Everybody knows that Frank is and always has been a badass. There's his super hairy chest, his go-with-the-flow attitude, extensive helicopter experience, and that elusive, indescribable badass quality.
5. No drama. There's no drama going on here. Tossing rings in the ocean? Smashing mirrors? Chasing after urequited love only to realize that you can't have it and then pretending like it's all about the crazy lady whose baby you raised and left with her mother? This gang WON'T HAVE IT!!!!
7: "Weirdest damn funeral I've ever been to". This sort of falls under point 4. But the fact that a situation arose among these guys that allowed for this line is pretty awesome. That was a good line.
8: Each character has a cool perspective. So you can look at it from the collective baddass point of view in points 2, 3, and 5, and the internal individual point of view, which is very multi-layered. From Ilana's angle, we see the function of the group; the dire circumstances that they need to calmly and systematically handle. From Frank's angle, we see the group's place in the present grand island overview. They are in the midst of this immense explosion of events, and yet not really part of it (yet). From Sun's angle we see a very determined need for connection. All she wants to do is be reconnected with her lover, who she hasn't seen since she thought she saw him die. And from Ben's angle we see someone who has been falling from the very very tippy-top of the entire world, and just reached the very very bottom. He is a lost soul, and right now he's just clinging on to what he can.
So that's that. They are awesome. And I have a little feeling that the next episode is gonna be about them...

Michalak Caroline
Expand Messages
- Hi Mike,
Back in 2010 you posted pics of your Michalak Caroline model to the Michalak group. Nicely done and thank you. Have you built her or what might you have ended up building or doing?
I live in Olympia, Washington USA and after last night's impromptu meeting at dinner with most of my family of 6, I am reconsidering my announcement to them of building the AF4 with some minor vertical adjustments.* Seems as though my wife Kim is serious about the "tug boat" look (heated cabin addiction) and my kids want all six of us to be able to cruise, 4 of us being young adults. My trailer is good for a heavy 18'.
Anyway, I've always loved Caroline as a base for a displacement powerboat but have never been forced into actually following through based on a family whim(?). So, while my design might have a permanent dodger a couple feet forward of the stern, most of the rest would be cabin as designed, save for a treatment like you did with the bow area.
So what did you end up doing? Funny, me asking when I live almost the hemispherical opposite of you! lol
Jeff West
*Rene Vidmer is a hero of sorts to me with what he has accomplished with his AF4B.
- Checking to see if my heater is still in production, I found several
others with that brand name (Martin). This model might be of interest to
some. It uses butane canisters which do not work that well at higher
altitudes and colder temps. Converts to a cooking grill apparently!
They also make a nice heater that has a thermostat.

|Other names
|Johannes Joachim Cardinal Degenhardt
Johannes Joachim Degenhardt (January 31, 1926, in Schwelm – July 25, 2002, in Paderborn) was the Archbishop of Paderborn, Germany, as well as a cardinal.
Degenhardt grew up in Hagen, where he attended the humanistic Albrecht Dürer Gymnasium. He belonged to the Catholic youth group, Bund Neudeutschland. As a member of this youth organisation, which was banned by the Nazis, he was arrested by the Gestapo in 1941, when he co-organised a demonstration of young people to show loyalty to the new spiritual leader, Lorenz Jaeger, on the day of his consecration as the Bishop of Paderborn. Degenhardt had already been suspected by the Gestapo for some time, since he had risked his life by secretly circulating the sermons of the Münster Bishop Clemens August Graf von Galen. He was held in solitary confinement for several weeks in the Dortmund Gestapo headquarters, imprisoned in a 3 x 1.5 m cell, beaten by the guards and not released until Christmas of 1941, with the warning that he would be sent to a concentration camp if he said anything about his imprisonment. After his release, he was expelled from the Gymnasium. During the Second World War, he was conscripted as an aid in the Luftwaffe and was taken as a prisoner of war, from which he was released in 1946. After the War, he completed secondary school and studied philosophy and theology in Paderborn and Munich. On August 6, 1952, he was ordained as a priest by Archbishop Lorenz Jaeger in the Paderborn Cathedral.
He was a curate in Brackwede for five years after that. As of 1957, he was administrator of the priest's office there, and then temporary substitute for the priest until he was appointed as a prefect of the archiepiscopal Collegium Leonium in Paderborn by Archbishop Jaeger.
On January 28, 1964, he received his doctorate degree in theology from Professor Rudolf Schnackenburg, and then worked as an assistant professor at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. In 1965, Degenhardt became university chaplain at the Pädagogischen Hochschule Westfalen/Lippe in Paderborn and then in February of the same year, he became diocese representative of the Katholisches Bibelwerk.
On March 18, 1968, Pope Paul VI, named Degenhardt as auxiliary bishop in Paderborn and titular bishop of Vicus Pacati. The motto of Degenhardt was Surrexit Dominus vere (The Lord has truly risen, from the Easter liturgy). Cardinal Lorenz Jaeger, Archbishop of Paderborn, had Degenhardt consecrated as bishop on May 1, 1968. The consecrators were Ruhr Bishop Franz Hengsbach and Auxiliary Bishop Paul Nordhues.
Cardinal Jaeger resigned from his office as archbishop at the beginning of 1973. The cathedral chapter of the archdiocese of Paderborn then elected Degenhardt as vicar capitular, and Pope Paul VI named him as the new archbishop of Paderborn in April 1974. In 1999, he celebrated his 25th anniversary in that office at the Liborifest, a traditional Paderborn celebration in honor of St. Liborius of Le Mans.
On October 8, 1991, Archbishop Degenhardt withdrew ecclesiastical teaching authorization from the priest and university teacher, Eugen Drewermann, after he refused to retract certain statements which were not in agreement with Catholic teachings. Among other things, Drewermann had questioned the virgin birth and the bodily resurrection of Jesus. On March 26, 1992, Drewermann was also suspended from the priesthood.
Pope John Paul II surprisingly named Archbishop Degenhardt to be a cardinal, along with Bishop Karl Lehmann of Mainz and five other bishops, on January 28, 2001, after he had just named 37 cardinals one week earlier. Pope John Paul II himself explained his naming only one year later on the occasion of Degenhardt's death in a letter of condolence written from the World Youth Day in Toronto as follows: "With his appointment to cardinal, I wanted to make visible the faithful evidence of the Paderborn spiritual leader for the entire world church." On February 21, 2001, he received the Paderborn archbishop as a cardinal priest with the titular church of San Liborio into the college of cardinals in the largest consistory of modern church history. Degenhardt held various ecclesiastical offices, including the leadership of the Eccumenical Commission of the German Bishops Conference from 1974 to 1976.
Death and funeral
Degenhardt died suddenly in the early morning of July 25, 2002, in the archiepiscopal palace in Paderborn at the age of 76. In the days that followed, thousands passed by the cardinal's body, lying in state in the Bartholomäuskapelle in Paderborn. The funeral took place on August 3, 2002, in the Cathedral of Paderborn in the presence of nine cardinals (Henryk Roman Gulbinowicz (Breslau), Karl Lehmann (Mainz), Franciszek Macharski (Cracow), Joachim Meisner (Cologne), Joseph Ratzinger (Rome), Leo Scheffczyk (Munich), Adrianus Johannes Simonis (Utrecht), Georg Sterzinsky (Berlin) and Friedrich Wetter (Munich)), over 60 archbishops and bishops from all over the world and numerous state guests.
The entrance of the numerous dignitaries into the cathedral alone took 20 minutes. The largest funeral ceremony which had ever taken place in the history of Paderborn was presided over by the ecclesiastical representative of Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Ratzinger (today Pope Benedict XVI), shortly before he became Dean of the College of Cardinals (on November 27, 2002). A vast number of the faithful paid their last respects to Degenhardt through the live television broadcast of the pontifical requiem. In 2003, Hans-Josef Becker became Degenhardt's successor as archbishop of Paderborn.
Cardinal Degenhardt held numerous high decorations and awards. He was an honorary citizen of the city of Paderborn and bearer of the Great Bundesverdienstkreuz with Star. In accordance with his rank as a cardinal, he was also a Grand Crusader in the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, a papal lay order. In addition, he was an honorary member of the K.D.St.V. Guestfalo-Silesia Paderborn in the CV. Degenhardt was a cousin of the German poet and singer, Franz Josef Degenhardt.

Olive Exclusive - an oasis in the city
This is, in our opinion, the best place to stay in Windhoek either at the start or end of your holiday. It is only 35 mins from the airport, relatively easy to find. Being in a fairly affluent area, one down side was the guard dogs barking in the evening.
The suite we had was close to perfect - very spacious, very well decorated and furnished with good tea / coffee and min bar facilities. There was a large private terrace which was very pleasant for sitting and watching the sun go down. The laptop in the room was a nice touch. The staff were good enough to book a massage for each of us, which they currently do in your suite. Again, excellent.
Dinner was very good - each of our courses was perfectly cooked and tasted great. The breakfast was equally good with freshly baked bread and pastries, fresh fruit, cold meats and cheese and a menu of cooked options. All individually prepared and available at any time in the morning to suit guests. Unfortunately, there was building work right next door to our suite (neighbouring property). Noisy at 7 am. This didn't spoil our stay. And even with this, we would not hesitate to recommend.

A wonderful place to start a holiday, beautiful location, fabulous rooms and incredibly friendly staff.
When my travel and accommodation arrangements needed changing the staff where very supportive and helpful so that the holiday could continue smoothly.
A haven of peace in the capital
Lovely warm welcome. Very comfortable bed. Delicious food.
Very impressed by personal touches, such as decanters of sherry, espresso machine, stone fire, coffee table books.
A great start to a holiday in Namibia.
This place was gorgeous. We loved our stay here and had a lovely dinner and fantastic breakfast. We would whole-heartedly recommend Olive Exclusive for a lovely comfortable experience.
This was a first class place to relax after a long flight.

The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA-I) and the International Federation of Airline Pilots (IFALPA) showed their support for the members of the Asiana Pilot Union (APU) when the NTSB hearing into Asiana Flight 214's July 6 crash at San Francisco Airport. The NTSB's hearings on the Asiana accident mark the first time in more than 20 years that IFALPA has participated in an accident investigation hearing to support a member association.
A primary topic was the Asiana pilot's interaction with the automation of the Boeing 777. The union acknowledged that a pilot's job has evolved into a series of tasks increasingly dependent upon the accuracy of cockpit automation. IFALPA said in a statement that it believes, "that for modern sophisticated airline aircraft, the combination of automation capability, aircraft design, certification and subsequent pilot training on critical systems must be carefully developed and validated to be comprehensive to ensure we maintain the high level of safety that our industry has achieved."
The association said that while automation was designed to offer pilots more time to focus on the mental tasks of flying, crews must remain vigilant for potential threats. "This has the potential for the crew to stay less involved with the physical manipulation of the aircraft," said the group. The union rejected the idea that pilots are so involved with onboard technology that they're forgetting how to fly the aircraft when they're needed.

'GO for Innovation' AT AGRITECHNICA 2015
As the world's leading trade fair for agricultural machinery,
Agritechnica is the branch event par excellence. We are very
pleased to be able to introduce to you again this year numerous
innovations and would like to cordially invite you to visit
AMAZONE on its new stand – now in Hall 9.
In total we will present 30 new machines and systems and so, together with all these innovations, we continue to pursue our objective of perfecting our worldwide agricultural 3C concept: optimally matched machinery and system chains from soil tillage via sowing through to crop protection and fertilisation.
In general, two main trends are evident throughout all of these innovations. Trend 1 shows the further extended development in the use of precision farming. Here electronics, with the aid of "intelligent" machinery, offer a multitude of new opportunities in cost saving which can increase efficiency as well as help in saving the environment.
So, for instance, on the fully automatic ZA-TS fertiliser spreader fitted with Argus Twin, the radar technology ensures the optimum lateral distribution of the fertiliser. On the other hand, checking the lateral fertiliser distribution with the aid of the digital, mobile EasyCheck test kit for any fertiliser type is greatly simplified.
For seed drills, GPS-Switch with AutoPoint perfects the precise on and off switch point of the machine which helps save seed. In the world of crop protection, both AmaSelect and AmaSwitch individual nozzle control offer the possibility of an even more precise automatic partwidth section control based on either 50 or 25 cm nozzle spacing. And even more "intelligent" still is the new system AmaSpot; a nozzle sensor system which enables the crop protection application to treat only those parts where in fact weeds or volunteer grains exist.
Trend 2 underlines the still further increase in working width and operating flexibility required from machinery. In this way AMAZONE meets the need for more efficiency and a widening range of application. This becomes evident, for instance, with the new Catros+ 12003-2TS compact disc harrow in 12 m working width or on the new Primera DMC 12001-2C for direct, mulch and conventional sowing with fertiliser tank and 12 m working width. Also more operational flexibility is offered by the XTender, a rear tank system enabling passive soil tillage equipment to simultaneously apply tiliser and/or seed.
This brochure introduces in detail all the current AMAZONE innovations. Look forward to an interesting read and discover the advantages that "GO for Innovation at Agritechnica 2015" offers the world of farming.

Have you ever felt that stomach curdling fear of stepping on the scales during a diet and realising.. you've put on weight?
Well I have.
Last weeks Weigh-In Wednesday, despite my initial hopefulness, sort of went tits up.
You see.. my scales were wrong. By 5lbs. And not in a good way.
So when I said that I weighed 9 and a half stone. That was a lie. Okay, well it wasn't a lie because I genuinely thought that's what I weighed.. but the scales lied. To me.
I jumped back on the scales 7 days after my first venture, looked down and noticed the dial didn't move. It was definitely odd. I'm not saying I expected to see half a stone had miraculously shifted, but I did half expect to see some change.
But there was nothing.
Last week I completely changed my attitude to food. As previously mentioned I was now on wholemeal bread. My portion sizes were halved, and I haven't eaten chocolate, sweets or crisps in over 2 weeks and I had done three hour long exercise classes, so I really did expect to see a difference. (I must admit I was pissed off mainly because after Kettlercise on Saturday, I spent the entire Sunday in my pyjamas on the sofa unable to move!)
Unfortunately though, my apparent lack of weight loss convinced me to step on to the fat busting, truth telling scales of Boots.
To my dismay, these scales now told me I weighed 5lb more than I originally thought. My weight is 9stone 12lb and my BMI is 28 *sob*. I'm not looking into my BMI too much as it also recorded my height as 4ft10. Now I'm short, but I'm not that short, I promise.
So next week I will try again. I'm currently sat here drinking wine, so if my weight loss isn't as high as I'd have hoped, don't be surprised.
My attitude to food has changed dramatically. I'm not over eating, ever. All of my substitutes are diet-friendly and I have completely cut out all of the rubbish (minus the rose wine, obvs.)
So I shall repost again next Wednesday. If I'm being honest, I'm not expecting a weight loss. I have only done one exercise class so far this week and it was far less enthusiastic as the last (different teacher) and I barely worked up a sweat. I'm still eating healthily and minimum, but clearly it hasn't started working yet.
Please all keep your fingers crossed for me and DAMN my bloody asda scales to hell!!

Hi Misty, it's always really hard i think for the first few weeks on a new diet plan. I wouldn't worry that the weight hasn't come off in the first week, it takes a couple of weeks for your body to adjust. Keep doing what you're doing poppet and it will work! Well done for the changes you've made they're not easy ones to make and i should know , i love all the bad stuff! Keep going chicken x x x

I've been working on a fall wardrobe for my baby girl. So far, we have a couple of dresses, a jacket, and I'm currently working on a pair of corduroys. Add leggings and a sweater/sweatshirt or two and it's everything Lucy will need!
|This is a recycled shirt of the Bubba's. I modified this pattern.
|Play dress. I'm not sure I love the V-neck on my 4 year old?
Maybe I'm just so used to seeing her in crew neck everything, but the V looks so grown up...
I made up the pattern for this one.
|This is from the summer, but she'll be sporting it with a sweatshirt, I'm sure.
It's a favorite. I used an acutal pattern for this one!
|This is an experiment gone very right. I wanted to figure out how to make something reversible, wanting to do a bright corduroy (or something) jacket, so I bought this fabric to make a template with since it was on super sale.
|I made up the pattern. It turned out so cute and cozy, I might not even make the corduroy one!
So then I made this one in an hour glass pattern for a friend's new baby, Thea. I did a way better job, and I just love the way it turned out.
|I made my own applique with fusible interfacing and zig-zag stitched it on.

* Fall in GDF Suez weighs on France's CAC equity index
* Traders cite Iraq violence as reason for equity pullback
* FTSEurofirst 300 down 0.7 pct, CAC down 0.8 pct
By Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, June 25 (Reuters) - European shares fell on Wednesday, led lower by a drop in France's CAC index, with traders citing fears that violence in Iraq will escalate further as a cue for investors to cash in on last month's equity rally.
The pullback in Europe, where stock markets such as the German DAX had hit record highs earlier this month, mirrored a decline in U.S. and Asian stocks.
"Investors are still concerned about American foreign policy and what will be the next step in terms of any military intervention as opposed to diplomacy in the Middle East region," said Lorne Baring, managing director at asset management firm B Capital.
Although the price of oil edged down, traders said events in Iraq remained worrying enough to justify trimming back equity positions in case the situation deteriorated.
Militants attacked one of Iraq's largest air bases on Wednesday as the first U.S. teams arrived to assess the Iraqi security forces and decide how to help counter a mounting Sunni insurgency.
France's CAC index fell 0.8 percent, underperforming declines of 0.5 percent on the German DAX and on the euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50.
The Paris market was pegged back by a 2.6 percent drop in utility GDF Suez after the French state sold a 3.1 percent stake in the company at a price of 20.18 euros per share, the bottom of a range for the share placement set by bookrunners.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index, which had hit a 6-1/2 year high of 1,399.62 points last week, was down by 0.7 percent at 1,377.63 points.
"We're still in reasonable shape, but we were looking a bit toppy on the upside, and there are one or two jitters around," said XBZ Ltd's European equity options broker Mike Turner.

What I am asking is, what are the new trends or styles that teenagers are wearing these days? my mom and I are refreshing my wardrobe and we are going shopping on Sunday. I want to fit in a little more as far as what people are wearing. this is just for ideas because I am wanting to change a little bit of who I am so I want to start with new clothes. any answer is welcome and will help. thank you all in advance.
Most Helpful Guy
This sounds a bit boring. You WANT to fit in? That is what 95% of people do because it's safer, but people wearing what they want to wear is much more interesting. You're probably still in high school and I can tell you that most of the people from high school were forgettable because they just did what everyone else did. They were boring and unoriginal.
I'm not saying to stand out just for the sake of it, but being in "the world" outside of high school I've seen that people are much more fun to be around when they aren't drones. Just some food for thought.22|00|0
i didn't mean like I want to be like everyone else. I do stand out on my own. my personality makes me stand out on my own enough lol. and yes I am a junior in high school. I am just curious as to see what people are interested in these days just to see if there is a new style out there that I could reinvent and make my own. I do not want to copy other people seeing how I am a leader and not a follower type person. thanks for the help though.
Well see, that's the thing: there isn't just one dominant style. Everyone has their own "culture" they dress like. Look around your school and see how many types of people there are just from their clothes.
I still think it would be best to just go out and find clothes YOU like and roll with that.
thanks. and this is true. thinking now, I might just reinvent my own style :) I like my style but it needs a little something...havent figured out what yet but something. thanks again.

A friend of mine is generally quite energetic and flirty, to many people.
Thing is, it's hard to tell if she has much special interest in me. When we chat, she gets super excited and leans pretty close, staring right into my eyes. She seems to touch a lot, too, but it's hard to tell if she's just touchy-feely. She usually jumps at the chance to hug me and always says "love ya!" every time we split ways.
We also "went out" once I suppose. It was hard to tell if it was a date, since neither of us really "date" traditionally. She paid for me, though, right off the bat.
I mean, from that paragraph, it seems obvious, but you'd have to know her in person. It's kinda confusing, and I would rather not get the wrong idea and get burned by it.
Most Helpful Girl
I'm a huge "flirt" as well, though it's completely unintentional. That's just how I am with people I'm friendly with. I love hugging, cuddling, sharing food, physical contact, spooning, lap-sitting and snuggling in general. If I make eye contact with someone while talking to them, I'm just making sure they are paying attention, and showing them that I trust them as a person. On the "love ya" note, that's how I say goodbye to all of my friends, male or female, accompanied by a big hug, or me jumping in to their arms and them spinning me around (if they are stronger than me).
So, If I were to judge based on the first paragraph alone, I would say that she doesn't necessarily have romantic feelings for you. I do "date" kind of often, but I would never pay for a date, especially not with someone I really like. However, if I like someone, but am not on a date with them, I will only pay for them if I really care about them. So because of that, I would say there's hope. If she pays for your meal and hers, and it's not a date, or your birthday, or something she's celebrating, she could very well like you.00|00|0

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have 10% ownership in an S Corp in NYS. I wish to divest myself of all involvement with the company. What is the process? What paperwork do I need to file and with whom?
Thank You
You haven't told us whether you are an (a) officer or (b) director or (c) both? If you are any of these, you need to resign, in writing. Try to get an acknowledgment of your resignation. This is important because officers and directors can have liability for so-called "trust fund taxes," such as tax withheld from worker's pay. If you are not an officer, not a director and have no check writing authority for the corporation, you will be able to check off any concern about liability for trust fund taxes.
You haven't told us whether there is any sort of shareholders' agreement in place which might limit your ability to dispose of your stock in the corporation. If there is, or if the stock certificate has any sort of legend on it indicating it is restricted, you need to take the stock certificate and a copy of the agreement to a New York business lawyer and seek specific advice on the impact of the legend or agreement on your ability to divest yourself of the stock.
You haven't told us whether you want to receive some payment for your stock. If you do, speak to a New York business lawyer about formulating an offer to see the stock (1) to the corporation (2) to one or more of the other shareholders or (3) to a third party.
If all else fails, perhaps you can donate your stock to a charity. Since S corporations are only permitted to have natural persons as shareholders, donating the stock to a charity (which usually will be a corporation) can have a negative impact on the corporation's S status. This might be a reason the corporation, or one of the other shareholders would wish to purchase the stock (to preserve the S status of the corporation).
In Illinois where I practice, there is another option, where you can resign all offices and directorships and irrevocable give up your right to vote your stock, but still retain the stock itself. By doing this you would shed any fiduciary obligations as a shareholder (you might still have other fiduciary obligations). You could ask a New York lawyer if their law has a similar provision?
Good luck in your quest - this shouldn't be too hard with the assistance of an experienced business lawyer in New York.
Answering your question on AVVO, does not create a lawyer-client relationship between us. Under the rules of the Supreme Court of Illinois, or the rules of other jurisdictions, this answer may be regarded as advertising. Because questions provided on AVVO simply cannot contain a complete description of all the relevant facts, information contained in this answer should not be considered as individual legal advice or legal opinion. You are urged to consult an attorney licensed to practice in your State regarding your own legal situation.Ask a similar question
There are several different issues involved in divesting yourself of all involvement in the corporation. First, the resolution of some of these issues will depend on the state where the corporation was formed. For the purposes of this answer I will assume that the corporation was formed in New York. If that is not the case please update your question to let us know what state it was formed in; if the corporation was not formed in NY, then some of my answer will no longer apply.
On the subject of the question itself: as the other answer stated, if you are an officer, director, employee, or other agent of the corporation you need to immediately resign, in writing. That writing needs to be signed by you; signed and dated original should be sent to the corporation at its offices by certified mail, return receipt requested - make sure to write the certified mail article number at the bottom of the first page of your resignation letter - and I would suggest that you also send a copy of your resignation letter to the other shareholder(s), also certified mail, return receipt requested. This second is not required under the law (although you should check the corporation's by-laws to see if it is) but it is a good idea where a corporation has few shareholders just to make sure that no-one can claim they didn't know what was going on. Submitting a written, dated resignation is important because that will generally protect you from any liabilities that might be imposed on you because of your role as an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation - the most common issue being so-called "responsible person" liability for the corporation's unpaid sales taxes and payroll taxes (if there are any that are unpaid).
If you have personally guaranteed any of the corporation's debts, you will have to review the terms of your guarantees carefully and, to the extent possible, revoke your guarantees if you can. If you cannot revoke any guarantees, then you will most definitely need to consult with an attorney with experience in these matters to advise you on the options available to you.
With respect to getting rid of your shares, if the corporation has any employees it may be very important to get rid of the shares because, under NY law, the 10 largest shareholders of a corporation can be held personally liable for unpaid wages. See NY Gen. Corp. sec. 630. You may also have continuing exposure to potential "responsible person" liability as a shareholder even if you hold no positions as an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation.
To that end, the first step is to request that the corporation redeem them from you - that is, pay you something for those shares, at which point you would no longer own them - in your case, and depending on your relations with the other shareholders, you may have to accept a low-ball value for those shares; however, if you really want to be completely separated from the corporation taking a low-ball value may be a reasonable cost for protecting yourself. You could also approach one or more of the other shareholders to see if any of them would be willing to purchase your shares from you.
If the corporation will not redeem them and none of the other shareholders will purchase them, then you may have some additional alternatives that, however, may be more costly to pursue.
One option would be to dissent to the next major corporate action on which a vote of the shareholders is required and for which you have the right to demand payment for your shares if you dissent from the action (not all corporate actions give you this right; however, since the possible list of actions is long, I would suggest that you consult with local corporate counsel on the matter to find out which actions would give you the right to dissent and be bought out). Section 623 of the NY Gen. Corp. Law provides this right. As I am out of space, I would urge you to consult with competent local corporate counsel.Ask a similar question
If you are an officer, you will need to resign in writing and ask to be discharged of all duties. If you are a shareholder, then it is a bit more complicated than you think and you might need the assistance of a corporate lawyer.

Wide Awake Journal; Ghost Town for Sale: Elves Included
By DIRK JOHNSON,
Published: June 1, 1992
WIDE AWAKE, Colo., May 31— No one has lived in this town for many years, except, of course, for the Tommyknockers, the mischievous elves that miners swore they heard, and sometimes even glimpsed, especially after a drink or two.
But the Tommyknockers might soon have company. Wide Awake is up for sale.
All that remains of the old mountain town, which is still named on some maps, are remnants of a post office that collapsed in a jumbled heap, the concrete foundation of the stamping mill and a tiny wood and tin shack that was home to Wide Awake's last resident, Wallace Stevens, a retired shepherd, who died in 1964. Seven miles from the nearest town, a four-wheel-drive vehicle is needed to get here across an unpaved and unmarked road.
Like so many ghost towns in the West, the darkness of night, and perhaps an avid imagination, bring some eerie sounds to Wide Awake. "It's really kind of creepy up there," said Verla Clemens, who owns the town with her husband, Richard. "The ground creaks and heaves. You hear sounds like shrieks and screams."
Miners with picks, shovels and dreams struck gold here in the 1860's, and by the turn of the century, more than 500 people lived in Wide Awake, about 50 miles west of Denver. According to legend, the miners had been struggling to come up with a name for the town. As they tossed out possible names late into the night, one sleepy miner supposedly said to another, "Let's just wait until morning, when we're more wide awake."
One of the miners responded: "That's it! We'll name it Wide Awake."
The mine, the linchpin of the town's economy, closed in the late 1920's, although the Clemenses say gold deposits remain in these hills.
The town, which includes 46 acres of private property and 175 acres of deeded Federal land, runs up against the Arapahoe National Forest. Deer and black bear prance across the land, which is covered with juniper, aspen and lodgepole pine. The asking price is $250,000.
The rugged terrain of Gilpin County was forbidding territory to all but the heartiest. And its settlers, who often ended up chasing off to Alaska for the next gold rush, left a legacy of colorful stories. For generations, tourists have come to Black Hawk and Central City for the Old West honky-tonk flavor. The writer Jack Kerouac stopped here to take notes and quench his thirst in the 1950's.
But unlike its neighbors, Wide Awake, an isolated patch in the Rockies, faded into history. Except for an occasional wilderness hiker, tourists would scarcely know that a town had existed here. But the property value has risen in the last year as legalized gambling triggered a boom in Central City and Black Hawk. At the same time, taxes have jumped. And Mr. and Mrs. Clemens, who are retired in Paonia in Western Colorado, say they cannot afford to keep it.
"With all the history, I hate to let the town go," Mrs. Clemens said. "But the taxes are $100 a month now. And with retirement, you know, it's hard to keep up with it. We're hoping somebody with money will rebuild the town, the way it used to be."
Mrs. Clemens's father-in-law, Jesse Clemens, bought the town in the 1930's. When he died in 1987, he left the town to his son, Richard.
The Clemenses' real estate agent, Steve Higgins, said that he had fielded a few serious calls, but that most of the inquiries have come from curiosity seekers.
Wide Awake's last resident, Mr. Stevens, who died at age 97, was said to enjoy the solitude. He stored his food in a tree perch that he enclosed with screens to keep animals away.
"Could he ever tell stories," Mrs. Clemens said. "I went rabbit hunting with him once. I couldn't keep up. He chased off and left me in the snow drifts. I was about 17. He was about 87."
Mr. Stevens's daughter was not pleased that he was living alone in the mountains and persuaded him to spend winters with her in town. When he approached 90, the daughter put him in a nursing home, where he complained vehemently about being cooped up.
He appealed for help to his old friend, Jesse Clemens. "So Jesse went and got him out of the nursing home," Mrs. Clemens said, "and took him back to the mountains."

|Deciding memory requirements for Lucene indexes proactively -- How to?
|Tue, 18 May 2010 01:13:39 GMT
Hi guys Is there a way (perhaps a formulae) to accurately judge the memory requirement for a Lucene index? (May be based on number of documents or index size etc?) Reason I am asking is that we had two indexes running on separate Tomcat instances and we decided to move both these webapps (Solr) to a single Tomcat for effective memory sharing. However our JVM memory allocation was not accurate enough and the Indexes started running OutOfMemory errors on our production environment. It would be much helpful if we can identify the requirement for resources pro-actively. Any help on the matter much appreciated. We use: Solr 1.4, Java 1.6.0_20 Thanks in advance Madu

SITTWE, Myanmar, 15 May 2013 – As Cyclone Mahasen threatens to hit the communities in Rakhine State, where thousands of people are displaced by conflict, UNICEF is ready to support the government of Myanmar to respond to humanitarian needs.
The living conditions of the people in Rakhine are already precarious as a result of inter-communal conflict and displacement. Should the storm make heavy landfall, their situation will become very fragile.
Even if a direct hit on Rakhine is averted, heavy rainfall and possible flooding that come with the cyclone are likely to endanger sanitation and safe water supply and increase the threats to health – especially for children.
Together with other UN agencies and international non-governmental organizations, UNICEF is working closely with the government to make sure that local residents are relocated to relatively safe areas, and that stockpiles in warehouses are ready to meet needs.
The agency has increased additional staff to Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine, over the past two days.
"UNICEF, along with other UN agencies and INGOs, is busy in Sittwe, especially in the northern part of Rakhine, to make sure that supply, provision and human resource capacity are deployed and to review different mechanisms to respond," said Bertrand Bainvel, UNICEF Representative in Myanmar.
UNICEF fully supports the commitment by President Thein Sein and the Government of Myanmar at a press conference in Yangon to carry out emergency preparedness and response without racial and religious discrimination, and to save every life as the utmost priority.
The press conference detailed the government's actions in relocating groups of vulnerable people to safety and its response plans in consultation with communities. The government has sought international cooperation and contributions in responding to the emergency.
Along with other international humanitarian agencies, UNICEF urges the government to ensure transparency, accountability, regular and open channels of communication, coordination and timely action in carrying out relief and response activities.
"It is important that all communities at risk are reached on the basis of humanitarian principles and equity," said Bainvel. "The cyclone can exacerbate the vulnerability of displaced people but this can also be a time when divisions along religious and ethnic lines are transcended, and solidarity is shown with the most vulnerable, especially children, to unite people – and we should not miss this opportunity."
UNICEF is also looking into increasing preparedness in other parts of the country such as Chin State, Mandalay region and Kachin, where strong winds and heavy rainfalls may further worsen the situation for vulnerable communities.
UNICEF calls for greater financial support especially for water, sanitation and hygiene.
UNICEF works in more than 190 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments. For more information about UNICEF and its work visit: http://www.unicef.org/.
In June 2012, the Governments of Ethiopia, India and the United States with UNICEF launched a global roadmap to end preventable deaths of children under the age of five. Since then, under the banner of Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed, more than 170 countries have signed up and renewed their commitment to child survival.

Yes. I'm leaving IBM UK.
To join IBM in Ireland 😉
I'm taking up a Development Lead role working on Lotus Connections. Due to the way that IBM is structured, moving from one country to another means resigning from the UK company to join another IBM company, which is a bit bizarre, but no big deal. Needless to say my management have been involved in this process from the beginning and it is really not much different from an internal job move. That is apart from the change of salary currency, pension, benefits… 😉
Whilst I'll be sad to leave Hursley and the WebSphere family, I am very excited about joining the WPLC part of IBM Software Group, and super-duper excited to be working on a product which really ties in with my growing interest in all things around web 2.0 / social networking. Middleware is great stuff to work on, but I'm looking forward to getting a bit closer to the end-user.
Technically, I'm still awaiting the paperwork from the Dublin side to arrive, but my manager has assured me the resignation can be withdrawn should it need to be. All things being well however Lana and I will be over in Dublin from the start of June to begin a new chapter in our personal and work lives, and I can't wait!

Mostly, lawyers know that they need a strong social presence to attract new business. What some don't know is how they are supposed to achieve that. Search engine optimization is a strange part of the equation for some lawyers.
Many lawyers see parts of the puzzle:
• Lawyers realize they need a good social network system.
• They know customers need to be able to find that website.
• There should be something interesting about their website that appeals potential clients.
• Lawyers know they need to found in search engine results.
Due to a shortage of time, and to deal with technology, so many lawyers hire someone else. However, they don't need to. With a little knowledge, lawyers can be their SEO expert.
Reason 1: Law firm SEO isn't complicated
You must hear that Fear is a powerful motivator. That fact is not lost on some greedy legal marketers. Some SEO "experts" and legal marketing firms tell lawyers that understanding search engines are too complicated.
Some lawyers are afraid that:
• Because they don't understand how SEO works for law firms
• It's too complicated to understand
• Due to their law company business will suffer.
The primary problem with giving control to a Law firm SEO "Expert."
It's enticing to surrender control to another person in case you're in this circumstance. Shockingly, what regularly happens is that lawyers surrender their control (and their cash) to a long haul legitimate showcasing contract that doesn't create come about.
Quite a bit of what is advertised as SEO is either pointless, obsolete, or random to SEO. Legal advisors who contribute a little time to comprehend law office SEO tend to see that it's not convoluted. They can do it without anyone's help. Furthermore, the things that they can't do themselves quite often add up to pleasantly bundled a quack remedy.
Can SEO Experts Think Like your Potential Clients Do?
At the point when legal advisors acknowledge how law office SEO functions, they start to comprehend a first angle includes getting into the mentality of potential customers and seeing how they utilize web crawlers. Can SEO specialists think like your potential customers do? Maybe. Be that as it may, attorneys know their potential customers superior to any outside master may.
Reason 2: Law Firm SEO isn't About Magic
Lawyers shouldn't worry about privileged insights, traps, or watchwords that will advance them beyond in search engine comes about. Their attention ought to be on their potential customers. It requires investment to fabricate great substance. Be that as it may, webbing guests comprehend the law and take care of their issues is the thing that pulls them to your law office. What won't draw in potential customers is SEO a quack remedy, for example, the third party referencing and catalog entries.
When you compose for your potential clients, center catchphrases regularly show up actually. Will somewhat major advancement web indexes comprehend your substance? Will it help potential customers discover you? Completely. For instance, utilizing long-tail states that consumers are prone to look for is useful for both potential clients and web indexes. In any case, you needn't bother with a law office SEO master to do that for you.

This yucky January weather has me pining for hot, summer days. Thought I would pull a sun-shiney post out to feel warm and happy.
Every Summer we go away to Horsetooth Reservoir and stay in their lake front cabins. We love it and it has become quite a family tradition. We go with my extended family. We usually have about 20-30 people around at any given time. The kids all play on the beach, the adults play cards and have a great time. I always go to Pinterest for some yummy snack ideas. This time around I found Smores Waffle Cones! Yes… SMORES WAFFLES CONES. You basically buy everything that is good and right in the world. Waffle cones, chocolate, marshmallows, and lots of good candy!
We chose Oreos, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Cherry Nibs, Peanut M&M's, Chocolate Chips and Pecans. You would not believe the kids faces when they came back from the beach and saw this spread!
We filled them up, wrapped them in tinfoil and set them on the grate in the fire.
Messy? Yes. Ooey Gooey? Yes. Completely delicious? Yes! The kids loved, the adults loved them. We will make these again! We need to try gummy bears!

Mayan calendar, should we rewrite the story from the beginning? A new reading of the boards of Venus contained in the famous Dresden Codex might oblige us to revise the astronomical approach and history of the Mayan world.
For us today Venus is just a very bright dot in the sky. But for the ancient Maya, the planet's light was a harbinger of war who led the ritual activity, gave the go-to great battles, or could even be synonymous with "total destruction".
Mayan calendar, should we rewrite the story from the beginning?
Archaeologists have always considered a key to understanding Venus calendars and Mayan translations. Today, however, the new interpretation of an ancient text, the Dresden Codex (named in honor of the city that houses the eighteenth century), indicates that the interpretation in use to date of how the Mayans followed the movements of Venus compile their astronomical calendars can be completely wrong. Putting together a new reading of the text, complex equations and field observations, Gerardo Aldana, University of California at Santa Barbara has simplified the way the Mayan scribe corrected their calendars. The code contains a very elegant mathematical approach that so far had not been identified. His work not only sheds new light on how the Mayans relate their ceremonies to the sky, but it calls into question any date of events known to us so far in the Mayan world. Scholars have long known the fascination of the ancient Mesoamerican cultures for astronomy, but many details about how these ancient peoples were following celestial objects were destroyed with the arrival of the conquistadors. The Dresden Codex is one of four texts were thousands of existing before the landing of the Spaniards in the New World. A section of the code is made up of the so-called tables of Venus, which provided the Maya a tool to correct their calendars. The peoples of Mesoamerica used two calendars: the solar calendar, 365 days, said haab, and one ceremony, the tzolkin, which followed a 260-day cycle related to rites and celebrations: a kind of calendar week (a week composed of 260 days) in which each day had its own cultural significance. However, because a solar year consists of 365.25 days, the Mayans then carried out a correction to make ends the cycle with the fourth advancing, just like we do every four years with the leap year. To make their correction, the Mayans resorted to the planet Venus. Consulting their ancient texts, they were able to determine where he was the planet hundreds of years before, and then where it should be when a remark was made. The difference between the two positions in time was the amount of correction to be made.

The Truth About Urine (cont.)
Urine is an important part of the body's disposal process. Its job is to remove the extra water and water-soluble wastes the kidneys filter out of the blood. "The urine is there primarily to get rid of toxins or things that would otherwise build up in the body that would be bad for the body," says Anthony Smith, MD, professor and chief of urology at the University of New Mexico.
When you notice that your urine has changed color, or there's a strange odor wafting up from the toilet, the cause might be something as harmless as what you had for dinner (which could have included beets or asparagus). It also might be a sign of a more serious condition, such as an infection or cancer.
Before you flush, here are a few urine changes to look out for, and what they might be saying about your health.
Color Changes
Urine gets its yellow color from a pigment called urochrome. That color normally varies from pale yellow to deep amber, depending on the concentration of the urine. Darker urine is usually a sign that you're not drinking enough fluid. "Your body needs a certain amount of fluid to function, so the body will hold on to fluid and the urine will become very strong and concentrated. When that happens, it will turn a darker color," Griebling says.
The opposite is also true. If your urine is very pale, it means that you're
either drinking a lot of fluid, or you're taking a
Urine can turn a rainbow of colors, and an unusual hue isn't necessarily cause for alarm. Certain medications can turn the urine fluorescent green or blue, carrots can tint it orange, vitamins can give it a yellow hue, and an inherited disease called porphyria can shade it the color of port wine.
Seeing red is typically a sign that there is blood in the urine, but before you panic, know that a little blood can produce a dramatic color change. "What I always tell patients is it takes one drop of blood to turn a toilet bowl red," Smith says.
That said, just a little blood in the urine can be a sign of something serious, like an infection or cancer, and it warrants a visit to your doctor or urologist. If you're seeing blood and your urine is also cloudy, there's a good chance you've picked up an infection, Smith says.
Odor Changes
Urine normally doesn't have a very strong smell. If you get a whiff of something particularly pungent, you could have an infection or urinary stones, which can create an ammonia-like odor. Diabetics might notice that their urine smells sweet, because ofexcess sugar. In the past, doctors would actually taste urine for this sweetness to diagnose diabetes.
Some foods can also change urine odor. Asparagus is among the most notorious. What people are smelling when they eat asparagus is the breakdown of a sulfur compound called methyl mercaptan (the same compound found in garlic and skunk secretions). If you catch a whiff of something after eating a plate of asparagus, it means that you've inherited the gene for the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan. Not everyone has this enzyme and, therefore, not everyone can smell it.
