What Russian empresses wore- exhibition in Moscow
This year in Russia was celebrated 400 years of dynasty Romanov. The celebration was done by unusual exhibition "Russian empresses: fashion and style. From the end of 18th to beginning of 20th century". The clothes that used to decorate Russian empresses was exhibit in Exhibition hall of Federal archives inMoscow. Russian empresses, wives and mothers of Russian princes, were first of all women who loved luxury clothes. They followed fashion trends but often they determined them. Luxury of their clothes, fashion accessories and jewellery haven't left anybody indifferent , circling the picture on Russian empire.
Clothes from collection of Hermitage museum and Memorial house Gatchina as well as archival documents, pictures and graphics and jewellery are exhibited examples which drew lots of attention. They are living proofs of Russian history, like decree signed by Peter the Great (1672-1725), from 7th January 1700, where he signed "the dressing in Hungarian way", by which really starts new era in life of this spacious country. For the first time in history the decree was exposed from 1718, " On gatherings" or "On order to gather in private homes and on persons that participate in such gatherings" with the personal signature by emperor. On the exhibition also are presented very interesting documents which proves that Russian empresses sometimes used to participate themselves in clothes creating. Catherine II (1729-1796) in the letter from 1781 to one noble describes the suit that she wants for her grandson Aleksander, with the accompanied drawing.
Evening gowns and unusual hats, albums ofParisfashion and jewellery presented on the exhibition bring closer far history and give us unforgettable touch with the lives of Russian royalty. The example of one of luxury dresses is the one by Aleksandra Fjodorovna (1872-1918) with the scow of four meters. That dress is worn few years- as the empress figure was changing they fixed it, as the small holes on the side of dress testify.
The exhibition shows the taste of empresses. Elisabeth (1799-1826),the wife of Aleksandr I (1777-1825) didn't stand pink colour so refused every time to wear anything with that colour on.Aleksandra Fjodorovna loved strict and simple shapes and often refused to wear folds and flounces. Marija Fjodorovna (1759-1828) wife of Paul I (1754-1801), despite her title of empress behaved as typical mother in law forbidding to future empress Elisabeth to wear the flower print on dresses. But, Elisabeth was very modest, she loved simple white dresses and her favourite jewellery were pearls.« Vrati se na prethodnu stranicu

WASHINGTON, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Dallas Mavericks owner and prominent investor Mark Cuban is never shy about criticizing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and its failure to prevail in its high-profile insider-trading case against him last fall.
As it turns out, he is equally passionate about high-frequency trading, too.
At a lively private event in Washington on Thursday held by Cooley LLP, one of the law firms that helped defend his case, Cuban told a small group of lawyers that the SEC should stop wasting its time focusing on insider-trading cases and turn its attention to rapid-firing computer trading instead.
"It is the biggest threat to our national security, in my opinion," Cuban said. "If I wanted to blow up this country, I don't need bombs."
To watch a clip of his comments, visit
High-frequency trading is a topic that has been in regulators' sights now for years, but experts have remained divided on whether the practice helps or harms markets.
The SEC ramped up its review of high-speed computer trading after the May 6, 2010 "flash crash," in which the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged about 700 points before sharply rebounding.
Regulators later determined that high-speed traders did not cause the crash. But market liquidity did dry up after high-frequency traders hit the exits, prompting calls by some for new rules that would require them to act as market-makers.
Cuban chided Washington policymakers for taking so long to take action on the issue, noting they are merely "holding hearings" and "discussing it."
He painted a hypothetical doomsday scenario, saying that a "sovereign entity" could simply use algorithms to start trading billions, and later down the road decide to intentionally "screw up" the marketplace.
"It is going to happen so fast and it is going to be so undetectable that people will say it's a fat finger," he said. "The next thing you know, there are flash crashes...and there is so much confusion that people don't trust the markets and then they pull out."
He added that he believes high-speed trading "brings nothing to the market" because it is "not an investment" and "doesn't bring liquidity" because it is removed whenever there is a threat to the algorithms.
Cuban's comments immediately generated a debate on Twitter, with advocates saying that high-speed trading has actually made the markets a better place.
High-frequency trading "has helped lower trading costs" and "democratized the marketplace," tweeted the Modern Markets Initiative, a group formed recently to advocate for the interests of high-speed traders.

BackgroundFirst Japanese Civil War (1865–1867). Key personalities of social nationalism mainly were the descendants of the former Japanese ruling class of gakke that lost its prominence after Emperor Tōbu reformed the political system of Japan in 1871. Gakke is the class of Japanese scholars that dominated the imperial bureaucracy for about a half of century. Unlike the aristocratic kuge, gakke titles were not conferred on a hereditary basis and instead through state-sponsored civil service exams based on the Confucian tradition. While the kuge was responsible for only the religious and imperial rites, the gakke was running the country's bureaucracy and mainly responsible in the development of Japanese Confucian doctrines.
When Japan's influences over neighbouring countries declined in the 17th century and it secluded itself from the foreign influences, the gakke started to go against the Neo-Confucianism that regarded as "Sino-centric" and "un-Japanese". Japanese ancient literature was re-studied by the gakke and the interactions between Japanese mythology and neo-Confucian rationalism and materialism created the intellectual form of Japanese folk religion, called kokugaku. Kokugaku contributed largely to the revival of Japanese mythology as a national creed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that would serves as the core of Japanese nationalist movement.
The conflict between isolationist gakke and the wealthy merchants from shōnin class came ahead in 1850s, which later culminated into the First Japanese Civil War. When the Western bureaucracy system was implemented by Emperor Tōbu in 1875, all members of aristocratic kuge and bureaucratic gakke was merged and formed new aristocratic class called kazoku (華族). Although the gakke formed a part of kazoku, many former gakke families lost their prestige within the society as Japanese political system was Westernized and the ancient institutions abolished during the reform. Followed by the land nationalization by the shōnin liberal government, most of gakke families was impoverished and instead fell into the rank of commoners or the heimin.
However, the political struggle between the shōnin and the gakke was transformed into an ideological one where Gakke isolationism then combined with the ideas of anti-modernism, national exceptionalism, and romantic nationalism. Initially, gakke ideology was identified as "ultra-reactionary conservativism" opposed to shōnin "conservative liberalism". However, it was never endorsed by any major Japanese political party during Tōbu era, although many gakke elites within kazoku circles did join or support Rikken Teiseitō, the main Japanese conservative party at that time.
More populist gakke ideology emerged in 1890s among low-born gakke descendants. Japanese defeat in the Spanish-Japanese War (1898–1901) resulted to the awakening of new Japanese nationalist movement. Many low-born descendants of gakke had served at the army and experienced a harsh war in the Philippines. As a consequence, that low-born descendants increasingly became more socialist in ideology. Among of that low-born gakke is Nagayama Yoshida who later wrote an article on Tokyo Asahi Shimbun in 1901 which criticized the Tenno system, government's expansionist policy, Taisei oligarchy, and parliamentarian system of government as well social inequality and a huge gap between the rich and the poor.
In 1907, Nagayama and fellow nationalist activist, Kita Ikki, founded the Konkikai, a nationalist organization that consisted mostly by the veterans of the Spanish-Japanese War with gakke family background. The Konkikai's political ideology was a syncretic amalgamation of militant nationalism, Pan-Asianism, social progressivism, economic socialism, right-wing and left-wing anarchism, and democratic republican ideas. The party's programs itself were calling for the liberation of Asia under Japanese guidance, forming the East Asian Economic Bloc that will consists of Japan, Korea, and China, nationalization of the railways, creation of the citizens' army, the improvement of the workers' welfare, land reform, and universal suffrage.
Konkikai then joined the mainstream Japanese politics by merged with Kensei Hontō and other smaller parties to form the socially liberal Constitutional Nationalist Party in 1910. Within the Constitutional Nationalist Party, former members of Konkikai, including Nagayama Yoshida and Kita Ikki, created Toseiha (統制派; literally means "control group") political faction due to its advocacy of civilian control of the navy and army, nationalization of the railways, land reform, and cause of the working classes, which positioned it as the party's left-wing. Toseiha faction gained its support mainly from the labour unions and tenant farmers.
After half of the Constitutional Nationalist Party defected to join the newly founded New Constitutional Party (憲政黨 Kenseitō) under Katsura Taro in 1913, Toseiha faction came into dominance within the Constitutional Nationalist Party. The party then adopted most of Toseiha's progressive programs.
Core concepts
National Struggle
- Life is a big survival for every living being and Nature only selecting the fittest among them. Humans are the most supreme and most perfect among other living beings. Human's natural instinct is to race toward supremacy over another in its own race [...] By competing, violently or peacefully, each nation in the world contributed to the progress of world humanity, culminating the best civilization over another, subjugating the weaker ones by incorporating them into the winning civilization.
----- Nagayama Yoshida, "Understanding the Concept of Nation" (1897)
While not rejecting the Marxist concept of class struggle, Social Nationalism promoted instead a Social Darwinian concept of national struggle. The concept of national struggle was first proposed by Nagayama Yoshida on his article on Asahi Shimbun in 1897 entitled "Understanding the Concept of Nation", which further developed on his 1904 book, The Renaissance of the Japanese Nation.
According to Nagayama, the true struggle within the history of humanity is a struggle between the nations and civilizations where one nation must subjugate or conquer the other in order to survive. Both war and territorial conquest are seen as the simplest reincarnations of national struggle. In the condition where no war is present, the struggle will evolve into an economic one in the form of state capitalism. If the State ceasing to be the main economic actor, then its position will taken over by the few who owning capitals and lands. In this case, the national struggle will replaced by a class struggle between the capital owners and the working classes.
As the struggle between the classes co-exist with the struggle between the nations, both kind of social struggles are able to transform itself into another. If the class struggle has ended, whether through the victory of one class or through the mediation by a third party, the national struggle will immediately take its form. For example, after the victory of Bolshevik Party in 1922, the Soviet Union that dubbed as a "proletarian nation" harboring the conflict with other nations, such as the United Kingdom where the labors participated on the parliamentary system that has set up by the ruling aristocracy and Nazi Germany that ended its class struggle by running a corporate state which mediated the workers, the capital, and the middle class people under the autocratic leadership of Adolf Hitler.
Then after a nation either lost or won its national struggle, the class struggle will resurfaces again in a new form. Nagayama cited Japan prior to the Taisei Reform and after World War I as an example for this kind of transformation. Before the Taisei Reform of 1867, Japan lost most of its imperial possessions to other nations and its credence amongst the Asian nations during 200 years of Seclusion Era. Then, the merchants that unsatisfied with this condition took arms again the ruling elites. A similar condition was repeated on 1918. While Japan gained the Philippines during the war, the economic crisis that resulted from post-war inflation then triggered a civil disturbance by the peasants and the workers against the ruling elites of Empire of Japan.
- My loyalty is not to the glory of Japanese Empire, but to the welfare of Japanese kokumin.
----- Nagayama Yoshida, On the Russo-Japanese War (1906)
Both Nagayama and Kita does not entirely rejected the concept of "common blood". For example, Nagayama argued that the Japanese, the Philippine peoples, the Takasago aborigines, the Malays, the Vietnamese people and other Austronesian peoples are originated from a common ancestor. However, as the time progressing, each of those peoples developed different national identities, different languages of communication, and different civilizations as a result of different political events. Social Nationalism does not seek to unite that peoples of common blood and promoting instead the "contemporary nationalism" in the existing territorial entity.
People's State
- There will be no true kokumin without a minkoku (people's state).
----- Nagayama Yoshida, On the Chinese Revolution (1913)
The concept of People's State (minkoku) commonly misinterpreted as "republicanism" since the term minkoku can be translated as "republic" in Japanese and cognate with Chinese word minguó (民國) and Korean minguk (민국). This term can be found in the formal native name of Japan (ダイワミンコク "Daiwa Minkoku"), of China (支那民国, "Zhīnà Mínguó"), and of Korea (고려민국, "Goryeo Minguk"). However, the Social Nationalist concept of People's State is not equal with the Western concept of Republic as a People's State does not necessarily have to have a republican form of government.
The theory of People's State is derived from the Fabianist ideology of Society for the Study of Socialism that Nagayama Yoshida joined in 1897. According to this concept, the State is obliged to protect the people's welfare and well-being and, in reverse, the people must pledge their loyalty to the State. The class struggle viewed resulting from the failure of the State to protect its people's livelihood. In this sense, the People's State can be said as a "socialism from above".
The People's State concept also denounces parliamentarian democracy as "a confusing, chaotic system" and instead promotes a "healthy, constructive democracy". While the right to create a political party is guaranteed, all political parties and political activities must be controlled and supervised by the State to make sure that their loyalty is only to the State, not to their respective ideologies. A nation that divided along political lines is believed can not fully function as a kokumin. In this sense, the People's State can be said as an "authoritarian democracy".
Following the 1917 Russian Revolution and the 1922 Fascist March on Rome, Social Nationalism incorporated the tenet of vanguard party into the People's State concept. In order to create a People's State, the people must be mobilized along the mass line of national unity by a small elite of revolutionary intellectuals, which called by Kita Ikki as a "new aristocracy" or "aristocratic revolutionary". The membership of this elite, however, must be completely open to the people who seek to participate in the government of the State. This elite must be organized along a strict organizational discipline, while all decisions from this elite must be taken through an open, democratic process.
- War can be eliminated and peace can be achieved only if the State does not run by the class of traders and businessmen who care only for their own benefits.
----- Nagayama Yoshida, "The Russian Revolution and Its Effects on Japan" (1917)
Social Nationalism denounces the liberalism of laissez-faire capitalism and support the State Capitalism as a solution to end both the class struggle and national struggle. Social Nationalism believed that the State must take over the trading classes role on economy and control all major economic sectors through the so-called "economic bureaucracy". With State's extensive participation in economic activities, the socioeconomic conflicts between the rich and the poor will be eliminated completely, thus securing the national solidarity within a kokumin. State capitalism is also viewed as a better alternative for war and imperialism as a primary mode of national struggle.
- The only faith we must have is the faith for the State and the kokumin.
----- Kita Ikki, in a letter to Kagawa Toyohiko, the leader of Christian People's Party (1936)
Social Nationalism has varied views regarding religion. Japan, Korea and Cambodia, for example, employing the national mythologies on their official propaganda works, such as the personification of Japan as Amaterasu or the cult of personality of Norodom Sihanouk in Cambodia as the "people's Boddhisatva." However, there are significant movements within Social Nationalism that held a hostile view regarding religion. While most of them favor a secular state modeled after Kemalist Turkey, some of them are even militantly atheistic.

...... My cortisol levels peaked the day of orgasm and gradually decreased for three days until back to normal.
Tarkington the problem is some of us have brain fog the second day (the worst day of pois). That's a big difference.Well, my typical pois timing was like this : First hours after orgasm : chills, shortness of breath (high cortisol?)Some hours later : diarrheas 8-10 hours later : fever and flu-like symptoms2nd day : brain fog/derealization.

It seems Dr Waldinger have just found explanation for PSAS. After, PE gene, he's on fire : maybe an explanation for Pois soon []

Tried Relora for the first time four hours ago. Felt headachy, heart palpitations, speedy, then sleepy, relaxed/sedated, libido diminution and a little druggy/high.Steve D.
Quote from: Counterpoints on 29/12/2008 02:48:44I've also been taking about 300 mg of phosphytidylserine per day. And 5 mg bisoprolol/day (beta-blocker). Plus some B6, and Ashwaganda. So a lot of cortisol reducing supplements!Just curious, CP, besides Relora, how did you come up with this protocol to reduce cortisol? Thanks.

Quote from: SteveD on 29/12/2008 08:04:19Tried Relora for the first time four hours ago. Felt headachy, heart palpitations, speedy, then sleepy, relaxed/sedated, libido diminution and a little druggy/high.Steve D.>>>>How much did you have? This may be a psychological reaction.... I've taken it in pretty large doses before (1000+ mg), and I've never felt very different. At most, a little sleepy, or a little edgy... not enough for me to even know for sure whether this was the result of the drug. When I drink alcohol, I can feel the difference. When I have something like valium, I can definitely feel the difference. When I take an antihystamine, I can tell whether or not it is working. When I take Relora, I'm basically unsure of any difference. To me, it does *not* feel like a *strong* drug at all (but it could very well be helping with POIS!).I tried 300 MG. My experience last night was kind of close to what Demografx describes below. I am going to continue it today, but my sense is, side efects aside, that this is not near potent enough for me to offset the extreme physical energy losses I experience...but we'll see RELORA"Relora is a plant extract. Because the actual active ingredients are not discernible, there's no way to know what the interactions with other drugs might be. Therefore, I would recommend not taking it with Rx drugs,or with OTC drugs either.This is what the manufacturer says: [Note the elevation in BP]'side effects also include dizziness, trouble sleeping, and higher blood pressure.' "Quote from: demografx on 28/10/2008 14:42:35IMPORTANT: ...RELORA - PLEASE READ!
CCc, this is very interesting. I experienced this and researched it and it was called "brain orgasm". But brain orgasms never led to POIS for me. But brain orgasms w/nocturnal emissions [i.e., wet dreams] did [lead to POIS].
really it didnt that is interesting and am cofused. Have you figure any ways to emitt without orgasm that will be way to see what is the tru culprit.
Yeah i read people with spinal cord injuries say they experience orgams in areas of their body other genitals. Some say if you touch their hand that is good enough to give orgasm. I thought that was nuts but interesting.
Counterpoints, I read that you may occasionally use valium. I've used Benzos over the years for my Anxiety, but I never specifically tried it before or after "O". Have you ever experimented with it in regards to POIS? I've often thought about trying it as an after pill. Also, I've always used very small (subtherapeutic) doses. Never more than 1 mg. a day.
I often feel like a have been plugged into an electric outlet with a mild current.
Clonazepam decreases release of acetylcholine in cat brain and decreases prolactin release
...my POIS was better than it ever has been, from Dec. 2006 to Feb. 2008.
Hi Tarkington--Your description of POIS is very close to mine. Insomnia first night with sweating, tension, anxiety and chills. Second day involves fatigue, depression and continued anxiety with chills, but usually a slightly improved sleep. Third and fourth days general anxiety, mild depression and improving stamina, but still a little fatigued.During this whole period I am anti-social and don't feel like using my mind. Also during this whole period I have muscle tightness and inflammation, expecially in lower back etc. USUALLY by day five it's gone; but it may linger. I've always assumed, for me, that adrenaline kicks the whole thing off until it combines with my high cortisol levels. Adrenaline eases after a day or so but the cortisol stays high. I think that those of us here (and from my reading I think there are a few)who also have anxiety issues, there is a conflating of the two i.e. POIS make the anxiety worse and anxiety makes the POIS worse. This is why, for me, I always work on my general anxiety first. I can't really "work" on POIS, because I've never found anything that consistently worked. However, I am going to give Relora a try. Also, I have added Garlic to my daily supplements. Interestingly, when I feel real good (non-pois for many weeks due to lack of "O"), I am a lot less anxious about POIS. However, the last month or so my general anxiety condition has been horrible, thus necessitating that I really avoid "O".
Fascinating news, CP! Didn't know if you saw that my recent labwork revealed 400% higher-than-average prolactin! (Waiting for brain/pituitary gland scan results).
Clonazepam decreases release of acetylcholine in cat brain
thanks Martin for Alpha 20 ingredients.
Does anyone one else experiences this I know am out of pois when after about a week i get these crazy rise in energy/mental clarity/ and mind becomes quicker than usual and i cant stop talking and cracking jokes. After two days i go back to normal without pois.
It is a difficult issue. Imagine if tommorow I create a "magic sexual elixir!" with fenugreek, scientists and doctors will think i'm crazy. But fore rare cases (Pois!) it will work
Steve--Regarding your 3 choices:I concur that finding a liveable compromise is the best.I'm confident that with experimentation/research of all variables that may contribute to our symptoms there will inevitably be incremental improvement leading to diminished symptoms. Like yesterday: I took a 3 hour walk. I had felt pretty bad in the A.M. (not POIS related). Right in middle of walk I did something I never do. I had a cheeseburger with bacon and avocados. Big greasy mess. 1/2 lb. It gave me a huge boost and I slept like a baby last night. Who knows? Have a great day-------------------
Wheatgrass is a grass I grow on the roof of my building, in 17"X17" trays, in a soil of organic cocoanut shavings from Sri Lanka...Talk about obscure!I gave up red meat 20 years ago when I gave alcohol, drugs, cigarettes and caffeine. Some remarkable man said I could 'get in touch with my feelings more' if I gave up red meat. As crazy as he sounded to me, at the time, that proved to be true, so I tried giving up white meat, dairy, eggs, flour and sugar...slowly, over 20 years and found that every surrender led me to better health and a better emotional life.A friend liked what he saw it did for me and went to the Living Foods Institute in Atlanta. He came back and taught me about raw foods and living foods. Of the living foods group wheatgrass is far and away he most potent food for healing and health purposes in my experience.20 months ago, in an attempt to solve the POIS problem I gathered nine natural foods experts around me and began to take wheat grass in volume, at it's peak 48 ounces a day, generally 12 ounces a day.The most remarkable result was that my desire to be sexual went away, which is what I wanted.

Director Harsha, who is basking in the success of Bhajarangi, has decided to do another film for Shivaraj Kumar. Harsha, who was present in the success meet of Bhajarangi, has revealed that he will come up with a family entertainer movie for Shivanna.
Bhajarangi, which was released on December 12 is declared as a Blockbuster hit. It has also broken all previous records of Shivaraj Kumar's movie in the Box Office.
Along with director Harsha, the success meet of Bhajarangi was also graced by Shivaraj Kumar, producer Manjunath Gowda aka Jack Manju and others. Speaking in the event, Harsha said, "The audience has received Bhajarangi very well. But the only disappointment is the film has got an 'A' certificate. I have planned yet another film for Shivarajkumar, which would be universal. The film is based on humanity and the film will be loved by children to elders."
It is said that Jack Manju, who has produced Bhajarangi will also be producing the upcoming movie. It is likely to go on floors, after Shivanna completes his projects - Aryan and Kabira. Shivaraj Kumar said, "I am ready to act in the movie. I will give my dates once I am done with my upcoming projects."

Potatoes are not the easiest of crops to grow, but if done properly, will provide potatoes for a family's table for an entire season. Planting instructions for potatoes include the "green sprout" method that helps develop short, strong, rapidly growing sprouts. Potatoes are frequently classified as early, mid-season or late, but additional factors to be considered are disease resistance, intended use and desired flavor. Certified seed potatoes provide better potato production and may be purchased through catalogs or gardening centers.
Things You'll Need
- Certified seed potatoes
- 10-10-10 fertilizer
- Spreading area
- Planting bed
Purchase and store certified seed potatoes in a cool place for two weeks.
Spread seed potatoes two weeks after purchasing, in a single layer in a greenhouse, room or barn that receives light. This is the start of a process known as "green sprouting."
Provide high humidity for seed potatoes by misting the area lightly once daily.
Turn the seed potatoes every four to five days to encourage strong, uniform sprouts.
Work 10-10-10 fertilizer into planting bed soil, using 3 pounds per 100 square feet, before planting seed potatoes. This prevents feeder root burning and decay.
Plant seed potatoes in the spring when soil has warmed to 45 degrees, in a furrow or hill 4 to 6 inches deep, spaced 8 to 10 inches apart in rows, from 32 to 36 inches apart. Cover with about 2 inches of soil.
Mound soil up around plants when they are 5 or 6 inches tall, a technique called "hilling." Continue the process until the plants are 12 to 15 inches high. Cover any weeds while hilling, but do not totally cover potato plants.
Tips & Warnings
- Potatoes may be harvested any time after blossoming.
- Dig the crop when soil is dry, lifting tubers and setting them on top of soil to dry for one to two hours.
- After harvesting, store potatoes in a dark, 37 to 40 degree area.
- Use pallets to keep potatoes off the floor to avoid potential storage rot.

President Barack Obama is getting some time in front of the cameras before sitting down to watch the Super Bowl.
He's doing a live interview from the White House with Bill O'Reilly about two hours before kickoff, during the Fox pregame show.
The interview comes less than a week after Obama's State of the Union address, in which he pledged to act to help the middle class if Congress won't.
Obama declined during a recent CNN interview to choose between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks in the title game, saying he didn't want to offend either city.
The White House wouldn't say whether anyone besides family is joining Obama to watch the game.

met this guy a couple weeks ago. we have been talking quite a bit but off an on. one day he will be really full on snap chatting me food and random stuff all day and texting me. the next day or so I won't even hear from him much maybe one snap chat back if I send one. then he will randomly call me saying he likes the sound of my voice we talked on phone for ages and texted. then the next day nothing. then the day after he would be texting again. I have only known him a couple weeks. but is the lack of consistency a bit weird? why is he being so keen then stand off ish at the same time.
Why is he being keen and stand off ish at the same time?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
He's probably really into you and doesn't want to screw it up by smothering you, but hasn't really found a good way to control his actions. Just give him a little time to find the right balance and try go guide him a little bit by sending the right signals.00|00|0
yea that could be true. do you think maybe it could be true that he is also simply into someone else as well. so doesn't need my attention all the time. like has other girls there as well which he alternates between talking to
Well it's technically possible, but it seems unlikely to me that there's another girl. I think that if there were other girls he wouldn't be alternating attention the way he does. The the fact that he's alternating attention sounds like it's because he's using a rule of thumb to control how much attention he gives you, so don't worry too much about it. Besides, it sounds like he's too much into you to really even be thinking about other girls. ;)

Just met this girl 10 days ago who just moved here from Norway. I gave her my number. I found her on Facebook & we chatted for a few hours that night & the next night she texted me. I've been starting conversations over text more than she has. She says she's busy with a bunch of stuff right now. I asked if she would want a tour of the town later that week & she said yes. I texted her later that week to ask if we were still going & she said she was on her way to the ER because she's been suffering from a kidney infection & would let me know later that day. I didn't hear from her & it was almost the time I was supposed to pick her up. I texted her & no response until later that night she said she was resting, so she could work the next day. Why didn't she let me know earlier? I didn't message her the next few days & then I get a text from her & we chatted for a while & asked the next time she was free and if she wanted to do something. That was last night & I haven't gotten a response. I usually text her first, but she texted me first only 2 times. Does she like me or is she really that busy?
Most Helpful Girl
Firstly, most if not, all women do not play this "hard to get" game. They either like you or they don't. If a girl likes you, she's going to want to jump straight into your arms, not make it harder and potentially lose you because she wanted to play a little game with you. If a girl didn't like you, she'd drop all contact with you or just say that she doesn't like you in that way.
Now that's cleared up, I'll continue.
It sounds like she's genuinely busy. The fact that she says yes almost immediately to you asking to hang out is a sign she does like you and that she's started the conversation a couple times, but she's just busy. She can't inform you every minute of the day of what she's doing and where's she's going. You just have to be patient and not over think like you are right now. She hasn't replied because she's gone to bed and then got up for work today like she said she was. She just doesn't have time to text you and she's hardly going to put everything on hold to respond to you. Distract yourself with other things so it won't feel as long when you're waiting for a response.
That's what I thought. I've been giving her space lately & let her message me if she wants to talk. Thanks!

According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, around 1 million patents are issued in the U.S. each decade. Of these, some generate millions — and occasionally billions — of dollars in sales of a related product, while many others are never used. Profitability of a patent and how much in royalties a patent holder can make varies widely. Timothy Cromley, writing for the "Journal of Accountancy," states that a proper appraisal process is an expensive and time-consuming process, while Katharine Ku, director of Stanford's Office of Technology Licensing, explains that few patents ever become profitable but that some of those few can generate tens of millions of dollars in royalties.
Licenses and Royalties
Harold Meyer, CEO of the patent law firm Novelint, states that patents are more frequently licensed than sold due to the small number of patents that prove profitable — royalties make it possible for a company to not pay the patent holder until the patent makes money. A license grants a company part of the patent holder's limited monopoly on the invention, for which the licensee pays a royalty, or a percentage of the profits generated from using the licensed product.
Cromley published a list of 20 steps in the "Journal of Accountancy" for appraising a patent for licensing. The first 10 steps involve checking the patent's status and authenticity, checking for any lawsuits and blocking patents, assessing the patent's scope and term, and allowing accountants and lawyers to become familiar enough with a patent to judge the profitability of the product. The remaining 10 steps concern any past royalties, a development and marketing plan, and profit projection and analysis. Cromley warns that this process can take months; Ku states that it can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Rates and Negotiations
Royalties are generally agreed upon as a percentage of the profits that a product generates each year. Hence, even tough negotiations settling at an unusually high rate of 10 or 15 percent can bring in no money for the patent holder if the product doesn't sell; likewise, a 1 percent royalty rate can be a lucrative arrangement if the product generates millions in profits. Rates can vary significantly across industries: The pharmaceutical industry, for example, one of the main patent-intensive industries, negotiates in the 1 percent to 10 percent range, depending on scope, term and stage of development, as well as profitability.
Other Considerations
Ku lists a number of considerations that can determine royalty rates agreed upon through licensing negotiations, the most important of which is whether or not the technology is founding technology — leading to a new type of product — or evolving technology. Other important factors include expected price of product over time, as a lot of technology quickly drops in price; industry; estimated time to market; patent term remaining; and patent scope.
Success Rates
Only a fraction of patents become profitable, and of those a smaller fraction generate anything upward of $10,000. Ku states that the most common scenario at the Stanford Office of Technology Licensing is that no one is interested in licensing the patent. The second most common scenario is that the inventor decides to launch a startup company with the patented technology. Ku disclosed that of the 5,600 patents that the office held in 2005, only 436 had generated any amount of money, mostly under $10,000, though 43 had generated more than $1 million each.

The Desert Bandits are minor villains from the adventure video game, King's Quest V:Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder. They are a group of thieves that live in the desert of Serenia.
The player needs to make sure that Graham hides from the Desert Bandits when he is at the temple. If Graham is not hiding behind the rock near the small pool of water, the bandits will discover him and kill him on horseback.
Graham later needs to go the Desert Bandits' camp to get their staff to open the temple door. If Graham goes to the large tent then he will be killed by one of the bandits. Graham needs to be careful in the small tent because there is a bandit sleeping and if he wakes him up, then the bandit will kill him. Graham then leaves their camp when he obtains their staff.
The Desert Bandits cannot be killed or defeated in the game and since they are still residing in their camp in the desert, they are still at large and about, preying on travellers that appear in the desert.

For additional background on the name, we went through a few iterations already on the Jackrabbit dev@ list: 1) Apache CMIS (the name is already used for the standard) 2) Apache CloudMist ("mist" has a negative meaning in German) 3) Apache Camaïeu (hard to pronounce and spell for many of us) 4) Apache Chemistry So far everyone has liked the last name, though your point about potential confusion is valid.

Surgery Failed
Botched my mother's cataract surgery. Capsule torn, the edge of it causing sunburst effect from lights. Lens placed too low, causing halos above lights at night. Inflammation persists 2 months after surgery. Part of the vitreous fluid had leaked anteriorly, also potentially causing more vision problems. My mother had returned post surgery 3 times, and each time he said, "The surgery went great!" Finally, she had to seek a second opinion.

I had cataract surgery by Dr. Lu 3 months ago. The surgery was easy, straightforward, and painless. I had my astigmatism corrected with a special lens. I now see better than ever, even better than when I was in my 20's. The only complaint is now I can see the wrinkles on my face that I haven't seen in this detail in many years. But that's a small price to pay for otherwise seeing the world in its truest form. He is an excellent surgeon. I recommend him without reservation.

Dr. Lu has an excellent reputation in the Arcadia area, well known to physicians and patients. I was referred to him by my sister who had a great experience with her cataract surgery. I just needed my eyes checked for diabetes. He is careful, courteous, efficient. I did not have to wait very long. The office staff is wonderful, from scheduling to technician to check out. I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Lu. I would recommend him to all my friends and family.

Amazing save
I experienced sudden floaters and a shadow in my vision. When I called the office, an alert technician suspected a serious problem and had me coming in right away. Sure enough, Dr. Lu diagnosed retinal detachment and referred me to a retinal specialist on the same day. I had surgery to reattach my retina that very day, which saved my vision. I am forever grateful to Liz, the technician, and to Dr. Lu for speedy recognition and referral to save my vision.

Miracle worker
I had cataract surgery done in both eyes by Dr. Lu last year. Not only is my vision much clearer, he offered me a choice of multifocal lens implant where I can now see far and near without glasses! I am so happy with my vision now that I can read the newspaper at breakfast and see the golf ball land on the green without any glasses. Dr. Lu is a wonderful eye surgeon!

I've been seeing Dr. Lu since 1999. He's done LASIK and eyelid surgery on my eyes, LASIK on my daughter's eyes, and numerous cataract surgeries on my friends, whom I've referred to him. He has been the most wonderful doctor to deal with throughout. He is attentive, detailed, thorough and an excellent surgeon. He is kind, warmhearted and efficient. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking eye care.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Lu, who removed my cataracts and improved my eyesight. I can now see the world in the details that I had missed for many years. His surgical skills are unparalleled and his bedside manner is excellent.

Review for Kenneth Lu
Kenneth Lu seems much more concerned about preening himself than getting to know his patients. After my visit, I looked at other reviews on this website, and was not surprised to see other patients complaining of the same things I experienced, such as him dismissing my concerns and not showing much interest in my case, my health, or me as a patient. Such an uncaring and shoddy doctor like Kenneth Lu does not deserve to be at a world class institution like Doheny. Waste of a medical education. Note, this review does not apply to the other doctors at Doheny, many of which are excellent. The rest of the staff seems to be hit or miss.

Very poor bedside manner. Not thorough. Was not able to help me or able to refer me to somebody who can. He also laughed and dismissed my concerns when I was clearly upset. He shouldn't be practicing.

Absolutely Worth It - Worcester, MA
Growing up I had always hated my nose. I had a bump on my nose and absolutely hated my profile. I was always uncomfortable when a camera was out, making sure no one ever photographed or video taped me from the side. I had the hardest time finding a pair of sunglasses that looked right on my face and that fit my nose. One day I was talking with my mom about how I wished I could get a "nose job"... READ MORE

I realize that it's rare, but what would your first impression be of a girl with light blond hair (not platinum but still dyed) and very (almost black) brown eyes be?

Getting an impression of someone just from their eye and hair color isn't what most people do.00|00|0
If you are asking if we find it attractive, it still would depend on more than that. There are better combinations out there, but really isn't the prime factor in whether someone is attractive or not.

Antonie Ramirez could ride and shoot as well as any man - and better than most. Now, the headstrong beauty had come to Texas to honor her father's last words: find the cattle rancher named Royal Bancroft and repay him for saving lives long ago. Royal Bancroft didn't know who was behind the outlaws trying to drive him off his land, but he would fight to the death rather than lose it. Yet with his sister and brother kidnapped, he felt defeat run through him like a chill wind...until a girl with cornsilk hair and a steady gunhand rode into his life. Antonie was wild, hard, and hurting inside, and Royal knew from the moment he saw her that, if he tried to tame her, he'd break her spirit. Instead, he would let her ride with him as an equal partner, fight beside him for a future, and come to him as a woman on fire for blazing love....

Stephin Merritt has fronted the band The Magnetic Fields for over twenty-five years. In this episode, he breaks down the song "Andrew in Drag" from the band's latest album, Love at the Bottom of the Sea, even though he doesn't actually remember writing it. After releasing his triple-album 69 Love Songs to huge acclaim in 1999, Stephin stopped using synthesizers for the next three Magnetic Fields albums. He talks about why he stopped, and why started using them again, and why he doesn't write down his melodies.

Joey Bada$$ released his debut album on January 20, 2015: his 20th birthday. It hit the Top 5 on the Billboard charts. For the track "Hazeus View," he worked with Kirk Knight, another member of the Pro Era hip-hop collective. In this episode, the two of them break down the process of making "Hazeus View," how the lyrics reflect Joey's wide-angle take on religion, and how the beat was inspired by DJ Premier and a beat he made for the Biggie song "Ten Crack Commandments."

The band American Football formed in 1997, and released only one album and an EP before breaking up about three years later. Their critically acclaimed debut went on to achieve cult status as one of the most influential records of the '90s, and was reissued as a deluxe double-LP last year.
In this episode, Mike Kinsella, Steve Holmes, and Steve Lamos of American Football break down the first song they wrote together, "The One with the Tambourine," from their self-titled EP. They talk about being influenced by the Chicago music scene of the '90s, and how they combined alternative tunings, unconventional time signatures, and naiveté to craft their sound.

When it comes to scale, there is no vertical that can achieve it better than government. This is simply because the government employs the largest number of people, and easily has the widest reach across the country. So if you have an idea for a pan-India event, the government can help you achieve it. Also, involving the government could perhaps be the only way that #DaanUtsav becomes the public movement that we hope it can be.
Some examples to get inspired by
In the past, government departments have taken the initiative and organised events in association with NGOs to raise awareness about the festival, and sensitise their employees about causes they are committed to. In 2013, Mumbai Police, along with Dignity Foundation celebrated #DaanUtsav in which senior citizens put up a spectacular cultural performance. Attendees included Bollywood star Ajay Devgn and Dr. Satya Pal Singh, former Police Commissioner of Mumbai.
The Chennai Police have been celebrating the festival in unique ways as well. One year they brought together children from a government school and gave them a lesson in safety with a tour around the station.
Southern Railways' gift to 40 special children was equally remarkable—the children enjoyed a 'Joy Ride' on the mountainous track of the Nilgiri Heritage Train. This was their way of spreading cheer by giving for a cause. BEST in Mumbai, meanwhile, have been providing their bus-backs free of cost for #DaanUtsav promotion. They also screen #DaanUtsav advertisements free of cost in the buses.
In Kerala, former Chief Minister Shri Oomen Chandy took time out to spend an hour with the underprivileged each day of the week. This definitely inspired a lot of people to celebrate the festival in some way or the other.
These are just few examples of past events. There have been several other ways in which the government has stepped forward to celebrate #DaanUtsav.
If you are an employee of the Government of India, or know people in government offices, here are a few ideas that you might find helpful:
|Public Works
Public Health
|Setting up collection boxes in the vehicles.
|Opening up police stations for visits by children and the elderly.
|Gift compassion with other schools.
|Toy/ clothes collection drives across offices.
|Organising hospital clean-ups and free health check-up camps.
|NGOs selling merchandise in permitted zones at airports, train stations, etc.
|Training for women in slums in basic self-defence.
|'Fistful of grain' or Rs. 1 campaign which can be aggregated and given to the localanganwadi or orphanage.
|Request for approval for parks to be opened up during the week for the community to celebrate DaanUtsav by organising clean-ups etc.
|Visits to special wards in the hospitals by volunteers.
|Online booking sites used to collect donations from customers.
|Sale of products by prison inmates, the proceeds of which can go to charity.
|A festival of 'giving' in an open space where different communities come together.
Some important points to be noted when interacting with government departments:
Most government officers like accountability. So, post the event, it would help if you could put together a small report with some pictures and send it back to the officer. This would help future volunteers to associate with them and also help you stay in touch.

When you experience sudden, involuntary muscle contractions in your back, you may have some degree of arthritis, says Jon Schriner, DO, medical director of the Michigan Center for Athletic Medicine in Flint. (To be sure, see your physician.)
When arthritis isn't to blame, weakened and overworked muscles often are—say, for instance, you strain your back carrying one too many heavy boxes. Fatigued muscles put additional stress on joints, causing inflammation. "Muscle spasms are the body's way of protecting the inflamed joint," Schriner explains. "The spasm hinders your movement, giving the joint time to rest and heal."
To avoid future flare-ups, talk with your doctor about starting an exercise program, such as Pilates, that will strengthen your abdominal and trunk muscles (aka your core). Good core stability will help protect your back from injury. Because body position and alignment are crucial when performing these exercises, you should consult with a physical therapist or fitness trainer to learn proper technique; doing the moves incorrectly may simply make your pain worse.

The Austin-Houston trip of the last two weeks has netted a lot of great, personal learnings. One of the funnest has been how much I enjoy NOT wearing contact lenses in public and from stage.
After more than ten years of being a contact-lens only person in public, this is a small revolution! I particularly love when something so personal evolves into the category of 'less is more.' Not only is it less trouble to wear glasses, it's also less strain on my eyes, costs less, less vanity-concerning, AND it turns out to be fun.
By the way, no, I didn't spend a lot of time sorting out whether this would be good for my personal brand. Perhaps I should have, because I think I do look quite different with, and without contacts. But I didn't. And I do believe it's going to be okay!
The best, most difficult thing I learned this trip is more subtle, so I'm turning to this writing to help flesh it out. In going through my notebooks to pluck out the plums and to dos, I see here I've written:
Me – ask for what I need:
Tuesday night
privacy quiet time 9-1030pm
Wednesday 9-11pm
Thursday massage after Diamond Day, before evening session?
Someone else facil team meetings.
Friday/Saturday quiet time 930-1030pm.
Sunday massage **paddleb**.
My notes were beautifully well-intentioned and harder to put into practice than you might think. Hubby Mike who so many of you have come to know directly at our workshops and in photos, is the antithesis of a night person, an introvert, and, sleeps less well at hotels than I do.
Mike comes with me on business trips like these as the most incredible extra pair of operational hands, pitching in his support, fun, and bolstering my connection to home and self. To ask him, at the end of a long day of extroversion, to vacate the hotel room we share and give me even an hour of quiet time…turned out to be quite the test for us.
In practice, I kept shortening the time I was asking for.
"Oh, just 30 minutes is enough."
"Really, come back in 20 minutes, I'll be okay."
One night I didn't insist, and he was already in bed when it came to light…
"It's okay really you're already in bed…" as he pulled on his shorts to go out into the night.
Ugh, my heart in those moments! And the tussle inside as the sparks of negative self-talk tried to catch hold. It was all very tender and revealing. But the measure of support a person gives you especially when it's difficult for themselves, when they have 'stuff' happening on their end, has to be one of the most humbling things.
And what I know now is:
1. It's much, much better to be super clear and insist up front. (Than to allow the whiny poor me self to creep up and surprise later. Much better.)
2. Asking for something hard to give, opens up a beautiful bonding opportunity in the relationship. (If my relationship feels the tiniest bit wistful, it may be that this is a place to look – have I become complacent in my asking? Not just my giving, or loving.)
3. A small slice of quiet time in a hotel room after a long day is miraculous for my nervous system. Even moving around quickly to 'sort' my environment and tidy any internal frayed-ness gave me an extra couple doses of 'readiness' to serve the next day. As a very resilient introvert, this played a major role in my ability to show up fully AND not have a crash – health wise, food wise, emotions or energy wise (fill in the blank) after 11 days.
For someone who checks off many of the self-sacrificing, people-pleasing boxes – female, Asian, first daughter, mmm. This one goes deep. I know my life has been given to me to ensure it's of the best service possible. Turns out, I'm really starting to get how to make sure that happens.
I would very much like to remember how this best, most difficult thing feels: asking for what I need. Which has never felt more directly linked to success than in this moment.
To do better, become clearer, and ask for what you need. If you're not yet clear, getting clearer is the first job.
I'm wondering – how might you have learned this lesson in different ways? And whether we can lean in and learn it some more together here?

Nottingham Forest supporters took to Twitter to celebrate new striker Nicklas Bendtner taking up a position on the bench for the first time in Wednesday evening's clash v Rotherham.
The 28-year-old striker moved to the City Ground after his contract was terminated by Bundesliga side Wolfsburg and he could be set to make his first appearance for the club.
Forest have also brought in defenders Matthew Mills and Armand Traore as well as Nicolao Dumitru and Jorge Grant following their 2-2 draw on Sunday.
Fans of the Reds took to social media to express their excitement to their new striker's position on the bench, while many predicted what he would do against the Yorkshire side.
Here are a selection of their messages on Twitter:

Forest have started the new campaign in steady form under manager Philippe Montanier.
They have won three league games from their opening six matches, while also picking up one draw and two losses.
They are currently in 13th place and they will look to Rotherham, who are struggling in the relegation zone as a good opportunity to pick up some more points.
In other Nottingham Forest team news, Matthew Cash delivered a message on Twitter expressing his disappointment after it was confirmed that he had fractured a bone in his knee.
