It seems as Smart Limit is very well limited in features. For 4.99 per month it does very little. I would be glad to put this version on all my kids phone if it was less than $2 a month. Here is a list of issues that I would like to see updated in the near future to warrant the $5/month
1. When all call/numbers are blocked incoming is also blocked. Do you realize it takes a teen about 5 minutes to figure out that they can have their friends call them instead.
2. When all calls are blocked, 30 numbers don't really do much when people have land lines, other family member cell phones, other friends phones, etc. Just trying to block 1 unwanted caller you can easily use 6-8 #.
3. Picture messages should not get through.
4. Application for Smart phones. Do you know how much of a pain it is to try to make adjustments on any smartphone??
5. Allow the different limits to be inactive. I don't want my kids to be able to text during school but when there is extended time off Smart Limits makes you delete them so you can't use them later on.
Another real gripe that I have is AT&T likes to use the largest button on the phone to go to the web and not allow people to change what that button does. This costs $$ especially if you do not have a data plan on a phone. AT&T's answer well you can stop it with Smart Limits at a cost of $4.99 per month. Hello a simple yes no question would work too and cost nothing!!!!

About MeHello everyone. First, I've always been very photogenic and into showing off all of the latest fashions and trends, but it wasn't until recently that I decided that I was going to throw myself into modeling and give it 100%. I've had numerous photographers ask to feature me as their model for websites, and I've worked with several of them, but now I'm looking to expand my portfolio as a model by working with new creative and innovative visionaries. On this site, I'd like to meet photographers and fashion designers who would love for me to model for them. My current and future goals, are to model for the most acclaimed fashion designers and photographers.

Michael Zee isn't only a talented artist and cook–he's also a pretty great boyfriend. Zee enjoys cooking breakfast for his boyfriend Mark, but he takes things a step further with symmetrical dishes.
Zee started posting pics of his symmetrical breakfasts on Instagram, and the Internet ahem…ate them up. He noted in an interview with The Guardian that people often wonder if he's obsessive or crazy. "But it is a declaration of love, really. I'm dedicated – both to breakfast and to Mark," he says.
So far, Zee's been making these dishes for a year straight (hasn't missed a day yet!) and he often preps the night before.

Fall Shows: An Opening Full of Promise
By BERNADINE MORRIS
Published: April 11, 1989
THREE models in leopard-spotted jackets - fake, of course - sauntered down the runway of the Hotel Pierre's Cotillion Room at noon yesterday to open the Bill Blass collection, and the fall and winter fashion showings were officially under way.
Most designers promise an emphasis on elegance and simplicity rather than frolicsome masquerade in the showings scheduled from early morning to early evening.
Mr. Blass, in a return to his strong point, tailored clothes, carried out this premise splendidly. There were few distractions from the clothes themselves - no hats, little jewelry.
''I want the woman of the 1990's to come through,'' the designer said, indicating that these clothes will be worn as the next decade begins.
The reality factor did not preclude inventive design. Simple jersey dresses were shown with sweaters draped casually around the neckline. But the reason the folds were so regular is that these were not real sweaters but knitted trompe l'oeil effects attached to the necklines of the dresses. Gray flannel suits were enlivened with gold lame blouses. (''Why not lame for day?'' the designer said. ''There isn't any jewelry.'') And while the clothes looked simple from the front, the backs were always eye-opening. Cashmere pullovers had wide V cutouts at back. The backs of slinky evening dresses were cut away almost to the waistline and were covered by myriad strap arrangements. Staying Above the Knee
Like the other major designers on the first day of showings, Mr. Blass kept his dress hemlines above the knee, with coats just long enough to cover them. Almost-preppy-looking coats in classic camel hair swung out over snug gray flannel dresses. Suits fit the body closely, often with a cutaway notch between the last button and the jacket hem, and shoulders were padded ''because with skirts short, the proportions look better that way,'' Mr. Blass said.
There were no furs in the show, which opened with the spotted leopard prints in cotton upholstery fabrics and ended with long and glamorous leopard-printed chiffon dresses. To take the place of the fur wrap, there were one-sleeve stoles for both day and night, the sleeve making it possible for a woman to anchor the long, full fabric as it twined around her body. Permeating the simplicity of the collection was a sense of luxury. You might call it elegance.
''A modern collection, not gimmicky'' is the way Carolina Herrera described the clothes she presented at the Plaza hotel immediately after the Blass show. ''Women who have been urged to buy more elaborate clothes are now in the mood for simplicity,'' she said.
In her quest for simplicity, she turned out beautifully cut princess coats, wool jersey dresses with cashmere sweaters in a contrasting color tied over the hips and some long black dresses that follow the curves of the body and sweep into a graceful fullness near the hem.
But not everything was understated. Take the black velvet motorcycle jackets studded with gold nailheads. They are a tribute to Robert Mapplethorpe, the art photographer who died recently. A friend of Mrs. Herrera, he always wore a black leather jacket, she said.
Playing cards were another theme. Poker hands were embroidered in sequins on some plain black crepe dresses. No, Mrs. Herrera is not a card enthusiast. She plays a little gin rummy, and she admits she is pretty good at it, but she really doesn't have the time, she said. Pastimes aside, she has turned out a sophisticated fashion collection, with its share of elegant and arresting styles. In her eight years of designing, she has shown consistant growth.
Later in the afternoon, Arnold Scaasi showed his collection at the Plaza. ''I've never been known as a minimalist,'' he said with some understatement. ''Still, I've tried to keep everything under control.''
That refers primarily to neat short black dresses and some fairly seductive styles in gray flannel. They are detailed with godets at the hemline, pleats at the bodice or rows of ruffles slanting diagonally across a narrow skirt, but they are not overdone.
Some of these were shown with the fairly dramatic coats in black wool, which reverse to blocks of colored satin in combinations like green, aqua and purple, with the satin spilling over to the large shawl or petal-shaped collars. The coats were inspired by Leger and Calder paintings the designer owns, and they are lower-calf length. 'Great for Traveling'
''Some people might wear them in the morning, but I think of them as afternoon or evening styles, and they're great for traveling,'' the designer said.
The evening dresses, either just above the knee or instep length, are the core of the collection. A group of intense blue styles were inspired by the successful dress Scaasi made for Barbara Bush for the inaugural balls; he calls the color Barbara blue.
Other intense color groups included different shades of red used together and purple with orange in both chiffon and sequin styles. Rather full evening dresses have skirts that show the knees at one side and slant downward to the floor at the other. A black velvet dress, handsome enough to wear for a portrait, has an off-the-shoulder neckline and a big, rounded skirt slashed high at center front.
Double and triple peplums, shirred bodices and soft side drapery were the figure-accenting details, and the show ended with black net dresses covered with multicolor sequins like confetti. Even for Scaasi, it was a spectacular performance. From the first day's showings, it looks like a brilliant fall for American fashion.

Well, as soon as you provide its size, it's not completely opaque anymore, now is it :-) I think the entire issue is centered around the fact that Yann doesn't really want to play by the pool-rules... I've been subscribed to this list a few years now. I've heard people regretting that APR uses pools for all of its portability functionality. I've seen the Subversion devs juggle with pool life time problems, but I've never heard anybody wanting to copy pools. Having done quite my share of pool life time juggling myself, I really don't understand the desire to copy pools around: you have the pointer, you don't know what else has a pointer... Bye, Erik.

EXCLUSIVE: It could have easily gotten lost in the shuffle. Matthew Carnahan's half-hour script House of Lies, set in the world of corporate management consulting, was put in development under previous Showtime entertainment president Robert Greenblatt and was turned in just as the pay cable network was undergoing a regime change in the summer. But new Showtime programming chief David Nevins read it shortly after he started and got behind it right away, putting the project on the fact track and attaching Emmy winner Stephen Hopkins to direct it. Now I hear Nevins is eying it as his potential second pilot order following the pickup of drama Homeland starring Claire Danes. The green light is contingent on locking in the lead, which may not be far off. I hear Don Cheadle is in talks to star in the project, which is described as a sophisticated dark comedy about Marty, a thirtysomething top management consultant who is cutthroat and not afraid to play dirty. Dirt creator Carnahan is executive producing House of Lies with Jessika Borsiczky (FlashForward). Production on Homeland, which just cast Mandy Patinkin opposite Danes, starts on January 10 in Charlotte N.C.

Love Don C. He can do anything. Dirt was a very, very not good show though.
Don Cheadle as a lead? Please, no. Can't stand him trying be so MOFO as a gangsta and he ruined Iron Man 2.
I got a sneak of the script and it's fantastic. And I love Cheadle, so this should be a cool look at the strange profession.
This is great news, Don C. is a great actor.
I still can't figure out why any series' sign Mandy Patinkin anymore. While is a gifted actor, he always seems to need to resign from series just when they are building a head of steam. I sure hope they put huge penalties in his contract in the even he decides to pull that crap again. With so many people clamoring for jobs in the industry, that diva-like behavior really puts the crew's livelihoods at risk.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Unless you've been locked away on the moon, you'll be well aware of the micro-blogging phenomenon that is Twitter.
Twitter has now been running for almost 3 three years and has become a treasure trove of information and links – which makes it hot property for the likes of Google and Bing (aka Microsoft).
The major search engines have deflected the need to talk real-time data with Twitter for some time – but times have changed.
A few months back, Twitter repositioned itself as a search engine for its own content. Given the rapid adoption of the platform, this move caught the attention of the major search engines.
This week, Twitter is in separate discussions with both Google and Bing. The aim of discussions is to strike deals that would see both search engines incorporate Twitter's 140 character messages in their respective results.
Kara Swisher via the Allthingsd blog provided further background on the discussions (via unnamed sources):
"a number of scenarios are being discussed to compensate Twitter for its huge and potentially valuable trove of real-time and content-sharing information, generated from the data stream of billions of tweets from its 54 million monthly users.
These include a number of structures, including a payment of several million dollars to Twitter, along with various revenue-sharing proposals that would give Twitter a piece of the revenue made from search results."
If a deal can be struck, it'll be music to the Twitter team's ears. While the platform's adoption has grown at a remarkable level – they've been unable to find a sustainable way to monetize the service.
With a solid revenue stream, Twitter will be able to continue their innovation in the real time publishing area – which is a hot button at the moment.
What will be interesting is to see how the tweets (twitter posts) are incorporated into the search results. And even more interesting will be to see how they are ranked. Some interesting times ahead for SEO.
Stay tuned, as we'll be sure to let you know comes from the Twitter Google and Bing discussions.

How to Watch BBC iPlayer in Ireland
in more detail:
NOTE: To watch BBC iPlayer in Ireland I use a VPN. There are many VPNs that remain 100% effective in letting you watch BBC iPlayer in Ireland, so I reviewed a bunch of them and decided to go with ExpressVPN. Check it out here if you like:
Being a huge fan of BBC iPlayer and almost every TV show that the service offers, I was very keen to introduce my Irish buddies to it when I took a recent trip over to Dublin.
I quickly popped open my laptop once settled into my buddy's apartment in Ireland and navigated to the BBC iPlayer service, excited to introduce him to the amazing selection of critically acclaimed British TV shows he had not yet heard of, let alone watched.
However, once I had navigated to the website on my laptop, I was super disappointed to be presented with a message informing me that BBC iPlayer is only available within the UK.
Clearly this was incredibly frustrating, and rather than just going to third-party non-commercial streaming websites to show my buddy some of the shows only available on iPlayer -- I wanted to give him the proper HQ experience.
So I went ahead and researched exactly why and how iPlayer was managing to block me, and to find the most secure and effective solution for how to watch BBC iPlayer in Ireland.
And I did it! Thus, I decided to lay out the solution in a quick and helpful guide so that anyone else looking to find this solution can just go through the quick steps laid out herein and be watching BBC iPlayer in Ireland in less than 5 minutes.
Why is BBC iPlayer Not Available in Ireland?
Firstly, here is a little background on exactly how I reached the solution I did. So I initially wanted to figure out why BBC iPlayer was blocking access to the service in Ireland.
It didn't take me long at all to realise that this comes down to the licensing rights BBC iPlayer buys for each and every TV show they offer on the service. Specifically, that it costs BBC iPlayer a lot of money to purchase each licensing right, and that these only apply to individual countries. This means that if BBC iPlayer wanted to offer any TV show on their service to users in a country outside the UK, then an additional licensing right would need to negotiated and purchased.
When you consider multiplying this across all the TV shows iPlayer offers, then to just make the service available in one additional country (like Ireland), would cost the service a lot of cash. So it makes sense that they choose to only show their British TV show service within the UK.
How is BBC iPlayer Blocking Access in Ireland?
It was one thing to understand the reasoning behind why BBC iPlayer chooses to restrict their service to only within the UK, but the next and most important factor to figure out is exactly how the service manages to know which users to block and allow.
So after researching this for a while, I learned that a process known as "geo-blocking" is what the service uses. This process serves as a gatekeeper that essentially figures out every user's physical location when trying to access the service.
The way in which this process determines each users' location is through referencing their IP address at the time they access the service. If a user's IP address shows their location as within the UK, then the user gets access; if showing their location outside the UK (like in Ireland), then no access is given to the service.
With that in mind, I figured that the best change of watching BBC iPlayer in Ireland was by somehow managing to change my IP address to show my location as within the UK, without having to physically move to the UK of course.
After a bunch of researching on the various viable methods to changing my address, I decided that the best approach was to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), because using one of these also adds a significant, sophisticated layer of privacy protection on my online data.
How to Use a VPN to Watch BBC iPlayer in Ireland
Step 1: Sign up for VPN
There are a large number of top quality VPN service providers around just now, so I took a few hours to personally try out and review a bunch of them, to figure out which one works best for me and my price range.
I decided on ExpressVPN, so for the purpose of this quick setup walkthrough I will reference them as the example. Firstly, go ahead and sign up for the VPN and confirm your account details:
The signup process is straightforward. Just choose the plan you want, select a preferred payment method, then confirm your account details via email.
Step 2: Download & Install VPN
Once you've confirmed your account setup, you will next want to download the software onto your device and go through the installation process.
Another great point with using a VPN for this solution is that 99% of VPN service providers are compatible with every device you would ever consider watching BBC iPlayer through. So for example, I used both my Macbook and my Android smartphone to watch BBC iPlayer in Ireland once I got access. Therefore it was simply a case of downloading the software to my Macbook, then downloading the dedicated Android app to my mobile:
Installation is simple and requires no technical knowledge to complete. Just open the file when you've downloaded it, then follow the few steps to install.
Step 3: Connect to UK-based Server on VPN
With the VPN software installed on your device, go ahead and open it up. You will immediately see how simple and clear the software is to use. All you are prompted to do is choose a location to connect to the VPN through, then hit "Connect".
This is obviously the point in the setup process that you want to choose a UK-based server location on the VPN, because once you connect to it -- this will be what changes your Ireland-based IP address to a UK-based one.
Here's how clean and clear the VPN software looks on both my Macbook and Android device:
Step 4: Setup BBC iPlayer Account
If you were like me and already have a BBC iPlayer account setup but just couldn't access it from Ireland -- then once connected to your VPN, you will now have full access to BBC iPlayer. Enjoy!
However, if you are based in Ireland and are accessing BBC iPlayer for the first time, then you will need to setup your own iPlayer account. This is just a case of going to the BBC iPlayer website and signing up for it, which you will now be able to do with your UK-based VPN connection made.
So there you have it -- a fully secure, effective and quick guide on how to watch BBC iPlayer in Ireland.
I hope you found this guide simple to walkthrough and are now sitting in your Irish location happily watching a fully accessible BBC iPlayer.
If you want to check out some of the additional VPN providers I reviewed that let you watch BBC iPlayer in Ireland effectively, then here are the top five I personally reviewed for you:
Rest-assured that these VPNs are always staying ahead of BBC iPlayer's "war on VPNs", so you will always get access to the service if you use one of the aforementioned VPNs.
If you have any feedback or questions for me on this guide, go ahead and let me know in the comments section below.
Happy iPlaying!

QuikTrip's CEO Goes Back to School
Program designed bridge gap between business and education communities.
TULSA, Okla. The manager of hundreds of convenience stores got a lesson in managing dozens of teenagers Tuesday.
QuikTrip CEO Chet Cadieux spent his morning yesterday at Jenks Alternative School in Tulsa serving as the school's first guest principal, part of a program launched by The Jenks Public Schools Foundation to bridge the gap between the public education sector and the business community, according to the Oklahoma News.
Cadieux, who took over as CEO of QuikTrip last year, spent his morning shadowing the alternative school's staff. He visited each class, talking to students and teachers.
The goal is to expose community and business leaders to the successes and the challenges of public education, and to encourage partnerships to fill the gaps left from the budget crisis.
Cadieux said he was impressed with the school and the students. "These kids are working hard and some are catching up and some are getting ahead and one way or another they're learning what they need to learn to have a productive life," he said.
Laurie Applekamp, president of the Jenks Foundation, said Cadieux had a strong influence on the students. "We feel very fortunate that he took time out of his schedule to come here," she said. "It's important that we have leaders that are supporting the foundation and what we're doing."

Boundaries in China (Critical Views)
An important topic in the study of Chinese culture, past or present, is that of the "boundary". In this book the authors investigate the meaning of the boundary as metaphor and paradox, as threshold and interface across the whole spectrum of Chinese art and society. The essays range from early politics and society to contemporary public and private discourse; from the creation of a literary canon to the positioning of individuals in dynastic time; from the sacred spaces of medieval Buddhism to the public spaces in today's Peking Opera; and from the obsessive construction of an afterlife in the tombs of the 1st century AD to the intangible surfaces of self in 14th-century painting.

The UN today abandoned first its own compound then the entire town in the militia-dominated western districts. The UN spokesman says even as the militias' rule grows stronger there is still no quick way to deploy a peacekeeping force. As the crisis in Timor deepened this evening the Prime Minister got on the phone to Indonesia's President Habibie.
The Maliana contingent of UNAMET has now arrived in a long convoy back in Dili. Of the many setbacks the UN has suffered, this in Maliana must be one of the worst. The loss of an entire district.
Increasingly, economic sanctions are being raised as a possible way of putting pressure on Indonesian President Habibie to exert some control on his defiant army.
Some of the men and women who would make up an Australian contribution to any peace keeping force are currently on standby at the RAAF base in Tindal near Katherine in the Northern Territory.
The world's biggest democracy, India, is about to vote in a national election. Some 600 million voters will go to the polls in an election that's been dominated by the war with Pakistan over the disputed Himalayan Territory of Kashmir. High up in the mountains, India and Pakistan eye each other off over what's called the line of control.
For five months he's been the silent victim of the jailing of two Australian Care Workers in Belgrade. Hayden Pratt, the 14 year old son of Steve Pratt, has had to watch helplessly as his father, who disappeared at the end of March on the Croatian border, was first paraded on TV, then tried and found guilty by a Serbian military court.
A new Federal Government report says immigrants are proving to be a boon to the budget bottom line. The Federal Coalition has cut immigration and shifted numbers from the family reunion programme towards business migration.
More disappointment tonight for hundreds of thousands of Australians who've bought tickets for the Olympic Games. Many ticket holders were so angry they explored the possibility of entering into a class action against SOCOG. But now even those hopes have been dashed.
about now it will be standing room only at the Birdsville Pub. There'll be tents for miles along the nearby Diamantina River and the local airstrip will be choc-a-block. The attraction - the famous annual Birdsville races.

Hunter Douglas blinds, shutters, shades, and the like are the cream of the crop in the window treatment industry, and the other companies out there producing products are all just vying for second place. The first clear sign that Hunter Douglas products are significantly better than the products their competition is producing is the fact that all companies in the window treatment industry are fighting with one another to see who can offer the most Hunter Douglas products. When the people who operate businesses in the industry are all fighting to sell one product, it's generally a good sign that that product is the best in that particular industry.
The big reason why all window treatment companies, like Don's Drapery Service, are constantly fighting over who has the most Hunter Douglas products is that they're the most popular brand by a mile. The public in the United States buys more Hunter Douglas products for their windows than they do any other brand, and the numbers aren't really that close. They're by far the most popular brand in the country.
Why are Hunter Douglas products so popular among consumers and vendors alike? Well, for starters, they are the highest quality window treatments that you're ever going to find. They're made of the best materials, which means they not only function the best but they also last the longest. This is why Hunter Douglas is so willing to offer their great warranties and guarantees on their products. They know that their products will last years and years if they are only subjected to normal wear and tear and use. Not only are they the highest quality products in the window treatment industry, but you can also find a great set of Hunter Douglas shutters or blinds for a price about the same of their competition. This is paramount to buying a new Mercedes Benz for the same price as buying a new Ford SUV. You're simply not going to have that happen to you because they're not the same value, but that's exactly what Hunter Douglas does when they sell their products for similar prices to their competition.
The final two reasons why Hunter Douglas products are so popular is the variety they come in and the way they look. You can find every single type of window treatment you could ever dream up in the Hunter Douglas line, and you can get most of them made out of many different materials. You can get plastic, wood, faux wood, aluminum or steel blinds, or you can get all kinds of different-colored window shutters. But it's not only this variety that makes them so popular, it's the way they look in your home. When you replace all of your old window treatments with new Hunter Douglas ones, you immediately recognize the improved aesthetic of every single room in your home. Stop by Don's and see what all the fuss is about for yourself.

The first numbers for 'Miilee', the latest 9.00 pm offering from Star Plus, have arrived. The launch episode has delivered a 10 plus, which is second only to 'Kkavyanjali's launch numbers. Also, the consequent decision to place 'Saara Aakash' in the Friday slot has paid off for the channel.
Looking at the numbers, TAM Media Research shows that for the TG C&S 4+, in the Hindi speaking markets, the show opened to a 10.7, moving to a 8.66, 8.87 and finally coming to a 9.11 on the Thursday episode. On the face of it, even if the fact that the Wednesday episode had to brave cricket was considered, it would be difficult to say that the new show has done well if these numbers were compared with what the various weeklies were throwing in the slot.
In the preceding week, all the 9.00 pm shows are well above the 10 plus mark and most of them have been so for a while. Giving a further insight on why the channel still sees the new shows ratings as positive, Deepak Segal, EVP, Content and Communication, STAR India says, "The weeklies were nearing the climax and hence at their peak story lines in the past few weeks. 'Miilee' is a new story. Also, the challenge was to appeal to the four sets of audiences that the weeklies delivered. The fact that the audience has returned after the first episode and increased subsequently in the latter three episodes is very encouraging."
He explains that this number will steadily grow as the first climax of the story approaches. Another aspect that STAR is excited about is that with the coming of the new show, while three of the four weeklies have been presently taken off-air, 'Saara Aakash' is moved to Friday, replacing 'Khullja Sim Sim'. The show has delivered a 5 plus for the channel here. "It has rendered a double benefit. Friday viewership is still in an area of experiment and 'Saara Aakash' has done well. Even 'Kal Chakra' has increased in the week," said Segal.
Coming back to 'Miilee', the show has made as much noise as 'Kkavyanjali' did before its launch and still achieved 3 points lesser than the latter. Sharing more on how the channel opines on this, Ajay Vidyasagar, Head, Marketing, STAR India, said, "With 'Kkavyanjali', we had redefined marketing success for any show. However, that in no ways belittles what 'Miilee' has achieved. Which other show barring 'Kkavyanjali' has given numbers even close to these."
According to him, the decision to pull out four big shows and bring in one replacement raised the concerning question of whether the show can deliver similar numbers, "The whole marketing effort was geared to introduce the characters and by the time of the launch, there was no doubt in the people's mind about what to expect from the story. This has helped us retain a successful slot, which is encouraging."
'Kkusum' last week has delivered a 2 plus for the channel, moving to a 3 plus on Wednesday and Thursday, which is not very different from what the show has been delivering so far, indicating that the new property didn't eat into the show. However, Balaji Creative Director Ektaa Kapoor wouldn't be very excited with these numbers. There is definitely a lot more action coming in this slot.

As many do in middle school I became entrapped in what we call an emo phase. I am now going into my senior year in high school and want to look my age for once. All of my clothes are band tees and cargos or skinny jeans that are far too large for me. I have a bad baby face and I can't grow facial hair to help it, I've been told a piercing could help me look closer to my real age but I really don't want to look like a lesbian. Any kind of clothing suggestions or other advice is welcome, my goal is just to look my real age (17, yes I know I don't look like it but that's why I'm asking this)

Start working out a bit, weight training will help you beef up a bit. Other than that, wear what you're comfortable with. You're 17! You get to be whoever you like at this age, you'll age up before you know it and you'll hate it then :( enjoy being young.10|10|0
Being an adult is a scam. enjoy your youth while you have it, at least I still look like I am 15 though that's getting harder due to me loosing hair now. But I can get away with it by wearing bennies or hats for a couple more years.
- Show AllShow Less
no doubt, The shittyness of adulthood grossly out ways the advantages. Then again me and my friend are still 15 as far as we're concerned. We just act like adults when working but off the clock or in private we act like 15-16 year olds. it helps ease the pain and stress.
Most Helpful Guy
Your features are somewhat feminine to me, such an astounding long and thin neck like a swan. Maybe you could attract some girls on this, but I think safer is just bulk up like hell. Go heavy, lift big, dominate the whole world. You are a ninja, fuck everything. You destroy and conquer. Fuck everything. You pillage. Stop being emo. Go hardcore. Metal? I don't know, black? Just bulk up and break through some walls. Wear tight clothing after you bulk up a bit to show off the physique. Then you get the vagina.10|10|0

During the life cycle of the unicellular alga Cyanidium caldarium the surfaces of the plasmalemma and the adjacent cell wall develop a number of differentiated structures which can be demonstrated with the freeze-etching technique. While cell division takes place, the plasma membrane is undifferentiated and covered with randomly distributed 55 and 80 angstrom particles as well as small holes from torn out particles that can be found adhering to the adjacent cell wall. The 80 angstrom particles possess a substructure and sometimes 40 angstrom fibrils can be seen leading from these particles into the cell wall. Just after cell division, shallow depressions showing a hexagonal surface pattern with a spacing of 105 angstrom and arrays of approximately hexagonally packed 55 angstrom particles are formed on the plasmalemma. The corresponding structures found on the cell wall are particle-studded humps, which fit into the shallow depressions, and faintly striated regions, which match the 55 angstrom particle arrays. During the next stage of development, the hexagonally patterned shallow depressions on the plasma membrane are transformed into regularly striated 300 to 350 angstrom wide and approximately 250 angstrom deep folds, while the arrays of 55 angstrom particles increase in size. On the adjacent cell wall we can follow the development of the particle-studded humps into ridges covered with 70 angstrom particles. The plasmalemma of old mature cells is characterized by long striated folds that replace nearly all network structured depressions, and a few small arrays of 55 angstrom particles. Long ridges covered with particles are the corresponding dominant feature on the inside of the cell wall. Prior to cell division, the striated folds and the other differentiations of the plasmalemma are broken down and eventually disappear so that the cell has again an undifferentiated 'embryonic' plasma membrane for cell division. Simultaneously the differentiated structures on the cell wall disappear. All the described particles and units forming plasma membrane differentiations seem to be confined to the surface layer of the plasmalemma. The outlined development cycle of the plasmalemma of Cyanidium shows that biological membranes have the potential to differentiate in time and space.

Samsung's latest flagship handset, the Galaxy S5, may not have been a game changer that many had hoped for but that's hardly affected company's morale. According to Samsung mobile chief J.K. Shin, the company has sold more than 11 million units since its early April debut.
It is good news for Samsung but that doesn't mean the company won't come up with a new premium handset to tackle LG's first ever 2K ready G3 flagship phone, ready to official on May 27.Samsung's much rumored Galaxy S5 Prime is reportedly making its debut next month in South Korea.
Subsequently, Twitter leaker @evleaks has claimed that Samsung's forthcoming Galaxy S5 Prime variant (SM-G906) will be available in five color versions: white, black, blue, gold and pink. It is widely believed that the Galaxy S5 Prime could hit South Korean market first, followed by other major territories.

Though there's still no proof that Samsung is even working on a luxurious variant of the existing Galaxy S5, but that doesn't stop some from believing every crazy rumor leaked by @evleaks.
Market rumors have indicated that Samsung may not able to produce enough units of the Galaxy S5 Prime due to lack of components such as QHD ( 2560 x 1440) displays.
Apparently, sources close to Korean publication Naver believe that the S5 Prime will cost 900,000 Korean won (about $880 approximately). Moreover, the device is expected to reach South Korean market by mid-June.
Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime- Design, Specs and More
Just recently, the SM-G906 model numbers has been spotted online and is believed to be associated with the Galaxy S5 Prime. The purported handset is said to feature a 2K (QHD) display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 CPU, 3GB of RAM, a 16MP rear-facing camera, 3,000mAh battery , and the latest Android 4.4.3 mobile OS.
At the same time, the forthcoming handset will feature a different design all together. If rumors are to be believed, the S5 Prime will be made out of metal chassis.
LG G3 Leaks in Metal Design Ahead of Launch
With hardly a few days left before an official unveiling of the LG G3, the latest leaked image of the device suggests aluminum-styled design. LG has already confirmed the phone will go official on May 27, however, the company is yet to make bold statements in respect to the design or internal hardware. LG G3 is expected to come with a 5.5-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 CPU, 3GB of RAM, a 13MP rear-facing camera with OIS+ feature, and the latest Android 4.4.2 Kitkat mobile OS.

In times of crisis, there's nothing like going out to talk to the troops. If you're an important leader, hiding in a bunker or in your shiny glass office won't help anyone, let alone your own peace of mind. Running around the place looking frantic is no better. And even if you're not the big cheese, as team leader or line manager, mini crises can happen throughout the week.
Cock-ups happen and no matter how hard you look at them, if you're honest, you'll have to admit that they're pretty much your fault. Then there's the out of the blue news that your best team member has found something better elsewhere, leaving a major talent gap.
Or perhaps you've made a decision, which later looks like the wrong move, but that backing down and admitting that possibility is out of the question. Or then there's the one big client - your cash cow for years - who suddenly pulls the plug. Time to face the music or go in search of some chocolate?
Getting it right when the time comes to make a bold statement about mistakes made can be galvanising for your immediate team or if you're the leader, your whole workforce.
Post Office boss Adam Crozier recently addressed his front line managers to talk about the need for quality and improvement. This followed the screening of the C4 Dispatches programme. Yet internal marketing consultants Enterprise IG Business and Brand Engagement recently did their own research into how "front line" managers feel about the businesses they work for.
Champions refer to people in an organisation who understand and are committed to the business goals. Fewer than one in three staff members volunteered to call themselves champions, while 30 per cent classified themselves as "loose cannons", 4 per cent as bystanders and a sporting 37 per cent as weak links.
Basically, if your people haven't got the message internally, when you call upon them to give that stirring speech, the impact risks being lost. Before you get to the speech stage, here are some tips to deal with a crisis.
Go to the mountain
"Take yourself off to Mount Olympus and look at your own navel," is the advice given by Ms James, author of BodyTalk at Work. "We like the comfort blanket of other people's opinions," she says, "but while you might feel desperate and want to start looking for advice, the reality often is that other people don't know the answer." Finding the answer within is something that will help you grow big and strong. "You've almost got to throw yourself at it and go into problem solving mode," she says.
Be honest
Be honest with yourself, urges Gerry Robinson, the former chairman of Granada and presenter of a new BBC series of I'll Show Them Who's Boss, with a new book of the same name out this month. "If you're in a crisis, face up to it and don't bumble along."
Admit doubt
It would surely have been better for Piers Morgan if he had admitted there was an element of not quite sure-ness earlier on. Ploughing on regardless can lead to ruin.
Don't panic
Says the laid back Mr Robinson, who is now chairman of drinks company Allied Domecq. "You will get a sense of panic but it's crucial that you take time to suss out what the real issues are," he says.
Don't be a headless chicken
It's not a good look. "And while the British may be stoic, we do catch panic if the leader panics," warns Ms James. "The whole goes into stampede mode."
Don't do a cover up job
"Most people in an organisation know when things aren't right," says Mr Robinson. "The quicker you can say 'this is wrong, I'm really sorry. This what we're going to do', the better," he says.
Don't be a weasel
"You can always duck things and try to weasel out," says Ms James, who adds that there are still people around who unbelievably manage to feel secure about their jobs. These are people, she says, who keep their head down and know their rights.
Think black box
Whenever the conversation and thoughts from a pilot are aired after a plane crash, Ms James points out the pilot always sounds remarkably calm. Being afraid of flying herself, she sits calmly in her seat during turbulence which helps to keep herb calm.
Be erect
With your own posture. "And calm down your body language because what you do with your body actually does affect your thoughts," she says.
Sell to yourself
After the quiet time spent planning what you're going to do and say, start practising your speech. You need to deliver the news and action plan to yourself, advises Ms James. "Sell the plan to yourself and deliver it quite deliberately," she says. Practice where nobody can hear you: shouting the news from the mountain top could be quite cathartic.
Appoint a new person
When Gordon Ramsay went to check out the Glass House in Ambleside, he urged the owner to sack the chef. I think the chef might still be there but bringing in fresh blood can be a great motivator for the team if they see an immediate sign of positive change.
Look for heroes
This is the advice given by Peter Bell, CEO of Enterprise IG Business and Brand Engagement. Using Mr Crozier and the Royal Mail as an example, he advises "encouraging and recognising 'extra mile' behaviour throughout the organisation. And look for employee heroes rather than letting the media go after the bad guys."
It's an opportunity
Yes indeedy. Mr Bell's advice for Mr Crozier is to "open frequent and consistent dialogue between himself and line managers and between the teams". It's an opportunity to turn things around and motivate a workforce and help them to pick themselves up.
Resign before you're fired
This depends on the gravity of your mistakes and how you've handled them along the way but generally, if you resign you'll get more opportunity to speak out and say your piece. If you can see that your days are numbered, if you wait it out until you're pushed the likelihood is that you'll be frog-marched from the building and you won't even get to say good bye to your desk.
Be a grown up
Most chief executives put in a call to their mothers when the ship starts to rock. But what is needed here is something different. "Activate the grown up, stern side of your personality," suggests Ms James.
Enjoy it
Is the advice given by Mr Robinson. "A crisis can be a fun thing to deal with," he says optimistically. "It's much more fun that when things are going smoothly. In fact, it's terrific."
