Mortal Kombat
Review by Shinnokxz
"Average to begin with, the lack of blood only hurts it."
Mortal Kombat was a revolutionary game. Its fighting engine was one of the most advanced anyone had ever seen at the time, and of course, Mortal Kombat introduced an element that stunned the outside world. It showed the world that video games were getting more and more in depth by the month – of course, I'm talking about the blood.
What is Mortal Kombat? Mortal Kombat is a tournament. A tournament that his the deciding point of whether evil Sorcerers and their fiends invade the Earth. The concept is simple: if the Mortals (Earth fighters) win, they get to keep the Earth for another decade. If they lose, the Earth will be destroyed, and the only thing left will be skeletal remains and architectural crumbles.
The fighter selection is limited, but it works. You have two Ninjas, Sub-Zero and Scorpion, that both have a desire to maul each other. A young Liu-Kang, the air-headed Johnny Cage, the Earth God Rayden, the slob mercenary assassin Kano, and the young vengeful Sonya. Each has their own set of moves and one finishing move.
Although it isn't a story that will compete against modern RPGs, it's still a satisfying premise. The fighting system is simple, but strategic in its own sense. You have High/Low Punch, High/Low Kick, and the block button. You can move yourself about one of the 7 fighting areas, inputting simple commands like Roundhouse kicks, Sweeps, and Uppercuts.
The computer AI is always there, in case you don't have any friends. It also has its own assortment of moves and tactics at its own dispense. This is where the block button, evade attacks, and other such maneuvers that can dodge or nullify enemy attacks come into handy. It sounds simple, but the intensity can mount up quite quickly after you defeat your way up the battle plan of foes.
The enemy AI is impressive, and shows some guts and intelligence when it comes to a decision about what it wants to counter-attack against your oncoming projectile. It will block, or jump kick, or even evade the attack and whatnot with its own projectile or moves.
Of course, when the first-player mode starts to bore you, you can always call up some friends and tell him to print off a moves list. You'll be surprised at how much time can be washed away while testing moves on your friends. Or, you can just gather two experienced fighters and pit them in a round of 'who wins the most.' Either way, it's usually a blast.
No Mortal Kombat review would be complete without discussing the fatalities. The fatalities are 'death moves' you can perform on your opponent after defeating two rounds of their ferociousness. These range from roasting a guy from a breathe of fire, ripping their heart out and taking a bite of it, or the more impressive ripping their head clean off – spine and all. We can't forget the blood that litters the arena during your boat with your opponent.
This is where the game flies flat on its face. There's no blood in this port. Hell, there are really no fatalities (No, I don't consider upper cutting a man in replace of ripping his head off a fatality). You see, with the stirring controversies that politics and parents were rile'in up about the violence, this was just too risky for Nintendo. So in place, you get small blobs of unsatisfying sweat that blotches the arena. Likewise, the Genesis' version was the same. But only with one difference: there was a code that you could input that turns on the bloody game play that you found in the Arcade version.
Of course, this brought larger sales to the Genesis', and ultimately drew a big line down the middle in between the SNES vs. Genesis war.
Technically, Mortal Kombat for the SNES is as close as you're going to get to the Arcade version. The colors are more vivid, and the fighter's animations are more crisp and concise than the ones found in the Genesis version. The battlegrounds are more detailed and bright, plus all the moves have their own original look and style.
Most of the music in this game is quite forgettable. It has its own little 'Kung-Fu' type theme to it, but it's really nothing special. The sound effects are pretty muffled, but they are at least more plentiful than the Genesis version, which doesn't have nearly as much as the SNES version gives.
Under the circumstances, Mortal Kombat for the SNES is just an average game. The lack of blood and fatalities might make people bail out too soon, but the fighting system is built perfectly for two-players. Of course, you could just go out and buy the Genesis version, which gives you the same game play found in this one, plus the blood and fatalities. -Shin (1/15/01)

IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys' new assistant coaches deserve a lot of credit for the team's 2-1 start.
Owner/general manager Jerry Jones eagerly gushes about the work being done by defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, defensive line coach Rod Marinelli and other newcomers on the coaching staff.
"It's exceeded anything that I might have expected, my expectations, both from the standpoint of the enthusiasm, the overall aura around the team as well as the technical aspects of it," Jones said Friday on KRLD-FM.
Jones just wants to make sure the job being done by one longtime Valley Ranch resident doesn't get overlooked. He goes out of his way to give head coach Jason Garrett his due.
"The guy that I want to point out that is the one that is the leader and is basically really a motivator that might surprise a lot of people is Jason Garrett," Jones said. "Jason really has a way of communicating. He has a way of setting expectations. He certainly can use the fact that he's new, it's fresh for him as far as his career is concerned. He's not that far removed from having played. All of that is a plus for us.
"This team is getting a big gain from Jason Garrett's motivational ability."
Jones stripping his head coach of power and play-calling duties dominated the offseason discussion about the Cowboys. He pushed Garrett into a "walk-around" head coach role after saying for years how important it was for a head coach to be in charge on one side of the ball.
A widespread assumption was that Garrett entered the season on the hot seat, although Jones has insisted that wasn't the case.
However, Garrett has thrived thus far with his revamped responsibilities. And it's important to Jones, who is sensitive about the perception that he wants his head coach to be a puppet, to publicly praise Garrett when appropriate.
At this point, although it's early, it seems more likely that the offseason discussion about Garrett will focus on his getting a contract extension, not being fired.

States Rights vs. the National Government
The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, the Hartford Convention, the Webster-Hayne Debate, and the South Carolina Exposition and Protest all debated how much power should be given to the states versus how much power should be given to the national government. All of these debates wanted to give more power to the states government. In the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson argued that the states had the power to decide whether or not they would accept a law based on whether or not it was constitutional. In opposition, the Hartford Convention was a meeting of New England Federalists, where they felt that they were being overpowered by states. Carrying on the theme of states rights versus the federal government, the Webster-Hayne Debate was a debate between whether or not a state should be able to control their lands and set aside certain federal laws. In the South Carolina Exposition and Protest, South Carolina argued that the tariff set up by the government was unconstitutional and thought the national government was overreaching their applied powers given by the Constitution. All four of these political acts, led to the questioning of the national governments power, and how much of it the states should have.
The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions were a result of the opposition to the Alien and Sedition acts. Kentucky and Virginia claimed that those acts violated the constitution- due to this violation of their rights, they were driven to propose the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, in which it was claimed that states have the power to nullify any laws passed by congress that are found to be unconstitutional.
Primary Source
"I never use the word 'nation' in speaking of the United States. I always use the word 'union' or 'confederacy.' We are not a nation, but a union, a confederacy of equal and sovereign states."(John C. Calhoun) (The American Pageant page. 265)
John C. Calhoun and his followers tried to nullify the Tariff of 1828. This quote shows us that South Carolina/John C. Calhoun believed that they had the right to nullify a federal law that they didn't agree with, because the US was a union and each sate could look out for itself. The US government lowered the tariff over a period of time, but they didn't loose the power to impose a tariff.
The South Carolina Exposition and Protest was written by John C Calhoun to protest the Tariff of 1828, a tariff that would raise the price of manufactured goods in the North. This political act also favored more power to the states. John C Calhoun thought that this tariff was unconstitutional because it would only help manufactures in the north and would severely hurt the south. John C Calhoun was the Vice President at this time, which led to a spurred outlook/opinion.
The issue of states rights is common theme throughout American history. Eventually it would be one the issues that the eleven seceding states had. They believed that they had the right to own slaves, and because the national government said no they seceded from the the United States.

How to Disable / Restrict Use of USB Storage Devices in Windows?
Many times we want to restrict users from using USB drives in our systems. Suppose you have some important data and a friend comes and takes the data in his USB drive. This tutorial will help you in completely disable the use of USB drives in system.
After applying this tutorial, users will not be able to use USB drives. Windows will not detect it.
The tutorial is divided into 2 parts:
- If the USB storage device is not installed in system
- If the USB storage device is already installed in system
So lets start this tutorial:
If the USB storage device is not installed in system:
1. Type %windir%\inf in Explorer addressbar or RUN dialog box and press Enter. It'll open "inf" folder.
2. Now look for following 2 files:
- usbstor.inf
- usbstor.pnf
3. Now you have to change their user permissions setting. Do as following for each file:
Right-click on the file and select "Properties". Go to "Security" tab and select the desired user or group in "Group or user names" list which you want to restrict from using USB drives. Now in "Permissions for Users" list, click on "Deny" checkbox next to "Full control" option and then click on OK.
NOTE: In Windows Vista, you'll have to click on "Edit" button after selecting the user or group in "Group or user names" list and then again select the same user or group in new dialog box. Now you can click on "Deny" checkbox.
4. That's it. Now users will not be able to install any USB storage device in system.
If the USB storage device is already installed in system:
1. Type regedit in RUN dialog box and press Enter. Now go to:
2. In right-side pane, change value of "Start" to 4
3. Now whenever a user will attach a USB storage device which is already installed in system, Windows will not detect it and it'll not be shown in My Computer.
NOTE: If you want to revert it back to default, then change the value of "Start" to 3
BONUS TIP: If you want to restrict only writing to USB storage devices, then take a look at Point 21 in following tutorial:

FYI. This release should resolve the current build bug which requires an internet connection to complete the build (with most configurations). Now, there is also a bug or two in Xalan (fixed in their cvs) which would be nice to get a release for before our 2.1.4 release. Anyone know about that release cycle?

As with the previous release we need to formally show consensus that it is indeed time for a new release of Xerces-J, so I'm asking the committers to vote. Here's my +1.

When my boyfriend and I started dating (2 years ago), I broke up with his best friend for him. Now we have moved in together pretty far from all of my friends. Now, I work 2 jobs, go to school, and only have him to talk to and hang out with. In my opinion, that isn't healthy.
At least once a week, he has his friends come out for the night. The other night I met up with this guy that I've been talking to for a couple of days. He works for the same company, just a different location that me. We hung out for about 3 hours and grabbed some food together. He gave me a hug when we were leaving.
My boyfriend says that it feels like I am sneaking around because I didn't answer my phone when I was with him.. but I hadn't heard my phone go off.
My boyfriend feels like this is the same situation of how we started dating. I admitted that it is similar, but I was up front with this new kid.. I am not available at all.
My boyfriend is jealous that I am talking to a new guy. I told him that he has no reason to be. I'm not wrong for trying to make a new friend in my area, am I. I need someone to help keep me sane.
Most Helpful Guy
Well you kinda brought this upon yourself to start with. You broke up with his BEST FRIEND for HIM. Of course there will always be some trust issues from his perspective considering you did flip flop between his best friend and him. IMO, this shouldn't have happened in the first place. But anways...
But if you two really do love each other and that breakup with his best friend wasn't for nothing, then he should understand your situation and let you make new friends, guys or girls. Although I'm guessing he would rather you make friends with girls or gay guys. He should trust you but I guess I can understand the apprehension. You can't blame the issue on you or him. There's trust and jealousy issues on both sides.21|10|0

January 30, 2012 – New York – The AJC weekly radio messages are broadcast on the CBS radio network, before The Osgood File. All AJC radio commentaries since 2001 are available at www.ajc.org/radiocommentary.
Iran continues to pose a major challenge to the international community.
Its threat to close the Strait of Hormuz – and the oil tankers passing through – could do major damage to the global economy.
Its wide-ranging support for terrorism – from Azerbaijan to Argentina, Afghanistan to Iraq, Lebanon to, yes the U.S. – is ominous.
Its support for Syrian repression and the murder of thousands there is hideous.
And its suppression of its own people is outrageous.
The targets are numerous: journalists and bloggers, gays and women's rights activists, students and dissidents, Baha'is and more.
Now imagine this same Iran with a bomb and its finger on the button.
Pretty terrifying, isn't it?
That's why it's the policy of America, Europe and likeminded countries to say no to an Iranian bomb.
And that's why AJC has produced a short film on the danger of an Iranian bomb.
See the film at ajc.org. That's ajc.org. Share it with others.
This is David Harris of AJC.

I think fate doesn't want me to be on time for church.
Week 1: I hit every red light between my house and church and am a few minutes late.
Week 2: I leave a few minutes early to take into account red lights. Unfortunately, I then get stuck behind a freight train so slow that I lose count of the cars because it takes too long to count to one.
Week 3: I leave for church even earlier but my plan fails early on as someone has parked a u-haul van behind my car. I use up all my extra time knocking on doors in my complex until I find the owner.
Week 4: They're doing construction on the road to the institute and no one can make a left turn for several miles. It's also impossible to make a right turn so I almost end up at the zoo before I'm able to turn around.
Week 5: When I moved here, I was excited that I could cut 20 miles off my commute to church, but now I leave earlier than I did before. Today, I thought I was going to be on time. And I would have been, but someone decided to organize an immigration rally in the middle of the city. After fifteen minutes of sitting behind a very boring parade and a lot more detouring through the city, I make it to church just ahead of the ward chorister but still late.
Week 6: I give up on being on time to church and leave later than ever, yet some how I'm two minutes early.

BrandtJul 18, 2001Great looking game, but the level of difiiculty ramps up a little fast.
Awards & Rankings
#45 Most Discussed Dreamcast Game of 2000
Though the one player game is good, and the visuals are nice, it hurts that BGE lacks extra play options, and without online play, this game is hardly worth playing over again.
If you don't mind the lack of depth, however, Bang! Gunship Elite will send your senses for a loop.
For practical purposes, think of this disc as a professional kickboxer's bombshell girlfriend--you can look, but bad things come to those who touch.

H-E-B Ranks as Glassdoor's 7th 'Best Places to Work'
Nestle Purina PetCare, P&G, Wegmans also make grade
Buoyed by employee feedback about "great pay, great benefits and the ability to move up," San Antonio-based H-E-B was named by Glassdoor.com as one of the best places to work in America and the United Kingdom as well.
In its seventh annual Employees' Choice Awards, H-E-B – which was cited by one reviewer as "one of the few companies that actually cares" – ranked seventh on Glassdoor.com's "Best Places to Work" rankings, which were based on feedback from "the people who know these companies best - their employees," according to the employment search website.
With more than 340 stores and nearly 76,000 partners, H-E-B has long prioritized the talents and unique skills of its many diverse and dedicated partners, who are credited with providing the regional retailer with a powerful advantage in its extremely competitive Texas home turf, where it has earned a dominant market position largely as a result of its widely admired corporate culture that places a high value on people throughout all levels of the organization.
In addition to H-E-B, other food industry companies that earned a top spot on the Glassdoor.com "Best Places to Work" list include Nestlé Purina PetCare ("Best place I've ever worked"), which ranked at No. 3; Procter & Gamble ("Great and consistent corporate culture..great place to work"), which placed at No. 11; Costco Wholesale (29); and Wegmans (32).
Other top 10 companies on the Glassdoor Best Places to Work list are:
- Bain & Company
- F5 Networks
- Boston Consulting Group
- Chevron
- In-N-Out Burger
- McKinsey & Company
- Mayo Clinic
Unlike other workplace awards, Glassdoor's Employees' Choice Awards are based solely on input from employees who anonymously and voluntarily provide feedback via the company's review survey, which includes details about employee job satisfaction, work environment, company culture and senior leadership.
"It is this type of authentic feedback that helps others find jobs and companies they love, and allows us to honor employers who stand out for their efforts in providing an enjoyable work environment and culture," said Robert Hohman, CEO and co-founder of Sausalito, Calif.-based Glassdoor.
The 2015 awards honor companies in three different categories: 50 Best Places to Work – U.S. (recognizing employers with 1,000 or more employees; based on U.S. employee feedback), 50 Best Small & Medium Companies to Work For – U.S. (recognizing employers with fewer than 1,000 employees; based on U.S. employee feedback), and new this year, the 25 Best Places to Work UK (based on UK employee feedback).
Winners are ranked according to their overall company rating achieved during the past year (Ratings based on a 5-point scale: 1.0=very dissatisfied, 3.0=OK, 5.0=very satisfied).

Save Mart Aims to Raise Up to $4.5 Million for Schools and Other Groups
New "S.H.A.R.E.S." points fundraising program is open to a wide range of charitable organizations.
Save Mart Supermarkets yesterday launched a new charitable giving program at its Save Mart, S-Mart Foods, Lucky, and FoodMaxx stores to boost funding for local schools and organizations.
Called the "S.H.A.R.E.S." points program (for "Support Humanities, Arts, Recreation, Education, and Sports"), shoppers who register swipe their S.H.A.R.E.S. cards at the checkstand to earn 3 percent of the value of their qualified purchases for the organization of their choice. Save Mart expects the ongoing program to generate up to $4.5 million per year in funds for charitable organizations.
"The current economic climate makes fundraising more challenging," said John Kelly, v.p. of marketing for Save Mart. "The S.H.A.R.E.S. program makes it possible for our customers to support their schools, churches, clubs, or organizations without feeling the pinch."
According to Save Mart, nearly every school, church, club, or organization in its trading area is eligible to participate and may request a S.H.A.R.E.S. card for each member. Organizations may sign up online at Save Mart's banner Web sites or by calling a toll-free number.
S.H.A.R.E.S. contributions will be paid out at the end of each calendar quarter. Save Mart and S-Mart Foods stores will contribute up to $2 million per year, or up to $500,000 per quarter, to the program; Lucky stores up to $2 million per year, or $500,000 per quarter; and FoodMaxx stores up to $500,000 per year, or $125,000 per quarter. If the aggregate earned benefits of the participants during each quarter exceed these limits, the donations will be prorated to reflect the points earned by each beneficiary group.
The majority of customer purchases are eligible for S.H.A.R.E.S. points, except postage stamps, gift cards, Ticketmaster tickets and other event tickets, BART and other transportation tickets, money orders and MoneyGram money transfers, Lotto tickets, charity icon sales, gasoline, check-cashing fees, senior and liquor discounts, and sales tax.
Save Mart operates about 250 stores throughout northern California and northern Nevada under the Save Mart, S-Mart Foods, Lucky, and FoodMaxx banners.

What Girls Said 2
u gotta figure out what made u lose it. and when. and why.00|00|0
I don't know if I ever had it... I just don't think I'm worth that much... I don't know what I'm suppose to be
- Show AllShow Less
and what are the rest of us? in this logic we are all worthless.
u aren't an object to be worth more or less. u are unique. to think that in 7 billion, there is only 1 of u, should be enough to realise that u have no price. u r priceless.
reproduction doesn't define ur worth, or ur life. you leave your mark on the earth by the life YOU live, not the lives of those before and after u. so if u turned out to have evil sons, would that mean that u were an evil father and that's how u deserve to be remembered? of course not.
the day u find value in yourself will be the day ur ready to be in love. until then, work on yourself and learn that u cannot love another until you love yourself.
that's great, but I think I remember you saying in other posts that you are a virgin, so... I don't know why that registers as significant to me...
Also, since there are 7 billion... this means that how could I be unique? I would have to do some pretty outstanding shit to be unique in a world of so many... what's the difference between one crackhead and another?
But if I die without having any children, then the 4+ billion years of evolution leading up to ME comes to an end... bacteria, worms, fish, reptiles, mammals --> ME --X...
There are serial killers with children and deadbeat dads everywhere, so I should be at least able to have ONE... and also the fact that I don't even know if I want any because it's so much work and I kind of enjoy being immature at times...
Maybe the fact that you cyber bullied and threatened a girl till the point you had to be put into jail, has something to do with it, Patrick.00|00|0
No, it was before that... don't talk to me like you know me... you don't know my life story... I don't even remember doing that shit... definitely not the only thing I've ever done in my life...

AMD rarely seems to execute and capture a leadership role and is perpetually in a me-too status. As a result, the revenue per share is on par with Intel, but margins are sacrificed to achieve sales. Simply put, dollar for dollar, Intel is a better buy.
Ten years ago in 2004, Intel distributed 16 cents in dividends. This year it's 90 cents for a yield of 3.5%. Even if the stock doesn't rise, the overall yield from the dividend makes it a winner. However, the stock is rising and appreciated 2.3% in the last year.
The average analyst target price for Intel is below the current price at $25.20. If analysts raise their price targets it often becomes self-fulfilling because it raises awareness and enthusiasm.
Another catalyst I really like is the short interest. As the price moves higher, shorts get squeezed, adding jet fuel to a rising stock price. Short interest is at 4.5%.
One note of caution: Short-sellers are the smart money and if short interest grows above 5% it may be time to reevaluate.

Washington inherited these slaves, he owned many slaves in his life time, although he believed that slaves should be free. He married Martha Washington who had two children from a previous marriage (Martha and John) George Washington believed that as a stepfather he had to be caring and attentive. Before he became President he was Commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. He led his army to two major victories of the war, the Battle of Saratoga and Yorktown where they captured the British. After the war he was elected president by a unanimous vote from the electors. He had a lot of responsibility as the first President of the United States and knew that he had to be a role model for future presidents. He won the favor of the citizens of the U.S and kept order. He was asked to be president a third term in office but refused to stay in office, because he wanted a quiet rest of his life with his family, and also showed that presidents should only run two terms. George Washington is most famous for his presidency he was an amazing leader and set a precedent for future presidents with his Farewell Address. In his Farewell Address he told the country to stay neutral and to not form political parties. He died at Mount Vernon from a throat infection. Without George Washington our country would not be the same country it is today.
Boston Tea Party
No more tea for the Patriots! The night of December 16, 1773, The Sons of Liberty protested against the Tea Act. The British have made taxes on tea to pay for the money they lost in the previous war. "No taxation without representation" is the Sons of Liberty's reason for dumping the tea. The Sons of Liberty believed that the British Parliament was unfairly taxing them and did not run it through with the United States representatives. Dressed as Mohawk Indians several men attacked a ship from the East India Trading Company. The ship was carrying 342 chests of tea all of which was dumped into the Boston Harbor, and destroyed. At least 160 people participated in the Tea Party, many of them kept their names anonymous for fear of being punished.
Nathan Hale
Nathan Hale was a soldier of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and is considered to be a hero. He went to Yale College with his brother, Enoch Hale. He studied astronomy, mathematics, literature and he debated in the ethics of slavery. After college he pursued the career of a teacher, he teached in New London and East Haddman. When the Revolutionary War began he joined the Connecticut militia and became first lieutenant. In their first battle, the Siege of Boston, Hale stayed behind. During the Battle at Long Island their mission was to capture New York and Nathan Hale's job was to spy. He and a few others went behind enemy lines to report the Birtish's movement, this was punishable by death. They were captured by the British and were to be hanged. Hale is famous for his last dying words which were "I only regret that I have but one life to live for my country"

The Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre otherwise known as 'the Incident on Kings Street' was an incident that would later turn into a Revolution. Soldiers stood in the street to protect crown-appointed official enforcing unpopular laws. Assuming that mobs would begin and rioting, British soldiers were armed on King Street. A mob of colonists began and rioting started. Colonists threw snowballs, sticks and rocks and yelled insults. As the mob got bigger and dangerous shots were fired into the crowd by the British Soldiers. These shots instantly killed 3 innocent american men. 5 people eventually died from this incident, the other two died later from wounds caused by the fighting. 4 civilians were arrested and accused of murder, and the 8 British Soldiers were sent to Castle Islands. 2 of the soldiers were accused of manslaughter and were punished with branding on their hand. Some other soldiers received reduced sentences for manslaughter. This tragic incident killed 5 people and many were wounded from the violence of the crowd.

Come December 5, almost all major financiers and bankers will gather under one roof and woo Calcuttans with a host of loan and credit products at Finance & Investment Fair 2003, billed as the first of its kind in the city.
There have been bits-and-pieces efforts earlier to promote financial products in the Calcutta market. But this is going to be the first show with a complete focus on the offerings from the world of finance, said T. S. Walia of Walia Trade International. From credit cards and auto loans to mutual funds and home loans, the four-day-fair at Ice Skating Rink will give Calcutans a chance to browse and bag the best bargains.
Credit off-take in the city, which historically has been the lowest among four metros, has at last started showing a different trend. With interest rates steadily moving southwards, Calcutta is fast catching up with other cities. Not just the city, the market is growing even in the suburbs and we expect the fair to generate good business for all participants, said A. Mitra of Tata Home Finance.
Though Walia Trade International, the city-based agency behind the event, has received confirmation from around 20 participants to date, the organisers are bullish about the success of the show. We have space for 44 stalls and we are sure that the bookings will be complete in the next two weeks. Such fairs generate tremendous interest in other cities, like Delhi and Chennai, and we are expecting a footfall of around 5,000 to 8,000 every day, said Walia.
The timing of the fair between December 5 and 8 is also strategic. To minimise the impact of taxes, people decide on their investment plans in January-February, observed Walia.
Those who have already signed up for the fair include Tata Home Finance, Birla Home Finance, ICICI Prudential, ICI Home Loans, Standard Chartered Bank, Punjab National Bank and Citibank. We will give verbal sanction and try to complete the process in two days, said Viraj Gurwara of Global Marketing Services.

Under a bill that became state law this summer, Freestanding Emergency Centers like the Edward Plainfield 24/7 ER at 24600 W. 127th St. are now able to accept certain Advanced Life Support (ALS) patients via ambulance. Previously, all ALS patients had to be taken to an ER at the site of a full-service acute care hospital.
House Bill 4388, with primary sponsors Rep. Grant Wehrli (R - Naperville) and Sen. Michael Connelly (R - Naperville), was signed into law on August 5 by Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner. Other sponsors of the bill included Rep. Mark Batinick (R - Plainfield) and Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant (D - Plainfield).
"The new law truly has a community-wide impact that benefits patients, families, hospitals, and fire departments or fire protection districts," says Rep. Wehrli. "Patients are able to stay close to home for care, we're able to keep wait times down in the hospital-based ERs because there are fewer patients and our paramedics are back on call sooner in their own neighborhoods."
"A large percentage of ALS patients are treated and released," says Dr. Daryl Wilson, Emergency Management System Medical Director and an Emergency Department physician, Edward Hospital. "The new law helps ensure better outcomes for patients because they get high-quality care quicker since they get to the ER sooner. And, it's much more convenient because patients and their families are closer to home."
For example, before the new law went into effect, if a patient from Plainfield with a broken leg who was given IV medication for hydration or pain, Plainfield Fire Protection District paramedics would have been required to take the patient to Edward Hospital in Naperville (13 miles from the Edward Plainfield campus) or another hospital in the area for treatment. The new law allows the patient to be transported to the Edward Plainfield 24/7 ER, something that also benefits the fire department and community.
"When we have to drive to Naperville, our crews are out of service and unavailable for 30 or 40 minutes," says Chief Dave Riddle, Plainfield Fire Protection District. "Now, in the situations where it's appropriate, we won't have to transport patients to hospitals farther away, so we'll be able to stay in own service area."
ALS patients with more severe injuries or life-threatening conditions, such as possible strokes or heart attacks, would still be taken to Edward Hospital or other hospital-based ERs in the region.
In 2015, Edward Hospital's two ERs treated nearly 98,000 patients - 69,476 in Naperville, 28,309 in Plainfield - among the most for hospitals in the Chicago area and state of Illinois.

In this myTake am gonna list down a few things I REALLY disagree with and that have like 0% chances to happen...lets get started:
1. Follow mainstream fashion trends
Its a big HELL NO!!....the reason why??...its simple..i don't wanna walk around with most people dressed similarly like me as if my outfit is a uniform!!
2. Wear tons of makeup because most girls do (seriously -_-'' ?)
I mean c'mon..i've NEVER been a fan of heavy makeup..all i wear is some loose powder +blush+lipgloss that's it...i'm not fond of the idea of caking my face with makeup.
3. Spend my money on VERY expensive stuffs
I don't see the point...like for real...why should i buy something at a very high price when i can purchase the same thing for like half the price and of almost the same quality??
4. When people like to vent about their issues to people who don't care about them
Errrrr yea....that sounds like a big waste of time...i think people should at least vent their issues to the right person..just saying
5. When people complain about their bad situation and try to do NOTHING
Am sure most of you might have heard some people who complain about how bad their situation might be.....and they do NOTHING ABOUT IT they expect someone to come and help them (even tho there are some exceptions)
6. When people with high position/high qualifications look down on others. >:( >:(
This makes my blood boil when i see people with this superiority complex ( a few of my lecturers at university are clear examples ). .Why thinking that your social position makes of you a better person when you have ZERO manners and are arrogant as f*** ??? >:( its something i would really like to understand tbh..
7. People who only know you when they need your service >:(
Some people are like this....they only know you.....when they need your service..but apart from that you won't even hear about them..until the next time they'll contact you for your service (maybe?)
What about you GAGers??

Paranoia regarding foreign investment makes politicians and media houses forget that a free media can only be established on the basis of a free market.
A very popular, if unrecognized, forum in India is the flat earth society. Its membership list is varied and full of surprises. In it people who believe that communism is alive and kicking, rub shoulders easily with capitalists who continue to believe that regulation of markets is the best mode for enhancing profits. There is one particular issue on which members of this society have a unique unanimity. This is about the need to regulate and restrict the entry of foreign capital into media in India. The most recent example of this is the coming together of 15 top Indian media houses to put forward a comprehensive media policy that seeks to restrict foreign investment in all forms of media to 26 per cent and also proposes that one family or group hold 51 per cent of the right. The latter clause would stop de facto control by a foreign company. These recommendations have been made under the banner of a new body calling itself the Indian Media Group. This is a policy recommendation that might even win the approval of the politburo of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Swadeshi Jagran Manch.
There are many levels of doublespeak involved in the suggestions put forward by the IMG. The media barons seem to be following a bizarre logic which says that Indian capital is good but foreign capital is bad for the Indian media. If foreign investment in many other forms of business, even those producing commodities necessary on a daily basis, is considered beneficial for the expansion of business and for greater profitability, then why should the media not enjoy the same benefits' The answer is that media is sacred because it is the purveyor of information and culture. It is thus open to corruption by the ubiquitous foreign hand coming into India piggyback on foreign investment in media. Often foreign investment in media is seen as a potential threat to Indias national security. Behind all this is an almost obsessive prickliness and paranoia. There is also a consistent underestimation of the strength of Indian media.
It cannot be denied that there is an urgent need to have a comprehensive media policy. But such a policy can only have one thrust: bringing policy on media in line with the premises of liberalization which have become the cornerstones for the functioning of business and enterprise in India since 1992. In keeping with the removal of restrictions which began the process of establishing a free market, the conditions for the functioning of media should also be free of shackles and of interventions from the state. In fact, there are no logical grounds for arguing for any kind of cap on foreign investment. The extent of foreign investment should be a business decision by individual companies and should thus be free from governmental regulations. A free media can only be established on the basis of a free market. To argue against this in an era of globalization is akin to upholding Ptolemys conception of the universe in the era of Copernicus, Tycho Brahe and Galileo. Hence the reference to the flat earth society.

So I've kinda got a huge crush on a coworker of mine. (yikes). But it's fine (part time, minimum wage, workplace romances have happened before and all has been well there, no real stress).
Basically, I think he's the most wonderful guy I've ever met. And it's taken me forever to come to terms with my feelings.
So I want to do something for him.
You see, he has a career field in mind that is nearly impossible to make it in.
YET, I have family connections in it. I'm thinking about getting him a mentor, someone in his field of interest to help him out. A life changing present. Not for Christmas, for his birthday in a few months.
I don't need him to fall in love with me. I just need him to give me a chance. I'm so sick of the friend zone.
Would this help? I could be all like "I'll give you their contact info... but only after our first date. You don't have to like me, I just want a chance. Then it's yours, you never have to go out with me again if you don't want."
Extortion of sorts, haha. Would it work? Is it worth it at all?
Most Helpful Guy
Wouldn't that be mild bribing? Try asking him out.00|00|0
I'm scared. I've been rejected a lot. Only ONCE did a guy say yes to a first date. I always get the friend zone.
People don't give me a chance. They see the girl next door goofy smile great for having fun and a great listener but for some reason they don't see me as a gf. And I am not unattractive. I'm not a supermodel but I have confidence I my looks.
- Show AllShow Less
Thanks. I guess I'll let you know how it goes when it happens a few weeks from now. Wish I could go ahead and give you MHO XD
Don't worry, I wish you could, too. Lol, jk.

Easter and Springtime Hazards for Dogs and Cats
Lilies, chocolate and Easter grass pose problems for pets
It is nice to have a little color after a long winter. Easter and springtime decorations (and edibles) liven the scenery, but also pose a potential hazard to pets. Who knew that plastic Easter grass could be dangerous, even deadly?
Spring is a great time to take an inventory of potential pet hazards. It's better than the alternative of spending time at the veterinary hospital. Here is are a few Quick Tips on what to watch for this spring.
Easter Lily (and related Lily plants)
The Easter Lily is a common finding this time of year. This plant, and related plants in the lily family, are highly toxic to cats if ingested.
The first signs seen are vomiting and lethargy, and if untreated, may progress to kidney (renal) failure and death. Please call your veterinarian immediately if you suspect that your cat has eaten any part of a lily plant.
Another spring flower often used in cut flower arrangements, daffodils, are also toxic to cats.
Easter grass
Cats love anything that moves. Easter grass moves easily in the breeze, makes interesting sounds, and, for some cats, it is simply irresistible and must be eaten.
Stringy things like Easter grass or tinsel at Christmas, pose a deadly threat if ingested, creating something called a Linear Foreign Body. The first signs seen, aside from the material being visible from the mouth or anus, are vomiting or straining to defecate and a painful abdomen.
Trying to pull out visible grass or string is not recommended, as this can cause more damage if the piece is long and trapped far inside the body. Call your veterinarian if you suspect that your cat has sampled the Easter grass. While Linear Foreign Bodies are more common in cats, dogs may also ingest non-food material, and the same rules apply.
This is typically more of a dog hazard, as many dogs have a sweet tooth, a great nose, and the determination to find chocolate -- hidden or not, but cats may consume chocolate too.
The toxic components in chocolate are theobromine and caffeine, and the level of toxicity is based on the type and quantity of chocolate consumed.
Different types of chocolate have different amounts of theobromine and caffiene; dark chocolate contains the highest concentrations and white "chocolate" contains the least. Early clinical signs are vomiting, diarrhea and trembling.
It is important to note that xylitol, an artificial sweetener used in many candies, chewing gums and baked goods, is potentially very toxic to dogs and ferrets.

The Soap Box challenge has been developed by leading energy drink maker Red Bull. This time we travel to Seattle and will find out how creative people there are. The main purpose of a Soap Box race or challenge is to have fun.
Individuals have a simple goal they have to reach the finish line in one piece. However, this is easier said than done as there are several hurdles along the path. Many participate in this challenge and only a few make it to the finish line.
This year there were Soap Boxes in the form of free willy, soda bottles, Chimpanzees pushing a banana and many more. Red Bull had organised a Soap Box challenge in India recently. This year they are organising another of their challenges called the Flugtag in Bangalore.
Take a look at the action from Seattle's Red Bull Soap Box race. Do let us know if you too would like the energy drink maker to organise the event in India once again? We love the Soap Box challenge and would like to know your thoughts on it?
