okay so do you guys and girls consider it weird when Asian people where false eyelashes on regular day? not reaallyyy big ones but they're mildly noticeable?
Most Helpful Guy
It's a little weird but not a bad thing. Being weird isn't always bad but can be hot! When I was a kid I wanted to dye my hair green but never had the guts to overcome people who may find me weird.11|00|0

Hemanta Chatterjee, 70, and wife Maya, 66, moved Calcutta High Court on Friday, demanding the arrest of their 23-year-old son Sourav.
A drug addict, he has been accused by his parents of tormenting and even thrashing them for failing to fund his habit.
Just realise how desperate the situation is that the parents have no option but to knock on the doors of the judiciary to get relief from their son. My clients are spending days of fear and trauma. If police do not arrest their son immediately, they will be ruined, Ava Roy, counsel for the petitioners, urged the court.
The plight of the parents prompted Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghosh to direct the Thakurpukur police to book their son Sourav and initiate proceedings against him.
Hemanta and Maya Chatterjee, residents of Kastadanga Road, in Behala, stated before the court that they had done their best to raise their son as a responsible citizen of the country.
Going beyond our means, we sent our son to a reputed English-medium school. But he became addicted to drugs from a very young age, mother Maya told the court.
The petitioners also revealed that as soon as they came to know about their sons addiction, they consulted a physician and sent their son to him for treatment.
Following the treatment, he stayed off drugs for a while. But within a year, he was back on drugs, they said.
Recently, he (Sourav) has gone to the extreme. He is demanding money from his retired father every day. Hemanta Chatterjees inability to cough up money regularly would drive him into a rage
He does not even care for his parents ill-health, counsel Roy told the court.
On January 16 this year, Sourav demanded money from his father to buy drugs. When Hemanta Chatterjee refused to comply, son Sourav started beating him up.
The father then felt he had no other alternative but to lodge a complaint against his own son with Thakurpukur police.
On March 29, Sourav again assaulted his father for not giving him money. Hemanta Chatterjee lodged another complaint with the same police station. But no action was taken.
Again, on April 1, Sourav lost his temper at being denied his drug money and turned on his hapless father.
When his ailing mother tried to stop him, Sourav shoved her aside. She fell and suffered serious injuries, the lawyer stated.

This application claims priority under 35 USC �119 to International Patent Application No. PCT/IB02/00911 filed on Mar. 26, 2002.
The invention relates to a portable, electronic device having a transponder with a memory unit and means for writing user-specific information into the transponder memory, so that the transponder, upon receipt of an interrogating signal, generates a response signal comprising the user-specific information. It is also directed to a method for use in an interrogating apparatus, so as to authenticate a user carrying such a device, and to a system for authenticating a user carrying such a device.
RFID-transponders, sometimes referred to as RFID-tags (RFID=Radio Frequency Identification) are widely used for recognizing persons and objects.
An RFID-transponder may be devised as a small tag and carries stored information, such as an identity number, identifying an object or a person. In order to retrieve the stored information an interrogating apparatus is used. The apparatus emits an interrogating radio signal or field, which causes the RFID-transponder to reply with a signal, comprising the stored information. The interrogating apparatus may then receive the reply signal.
Such RFID transponders are used for instance in connection with access control or as an alternative to bar-codes. In other common applications RFID transponders are used in car immobilisers and for identifying domestic animals.
It has been suggested to provide portable, electronic devices, such as mobile phones, with RFID transponders. This enables additional functionalities in connection with such devices. For instance, a mobile phone may then be used also as an access control card. Such functionalities often need strong security.
A problem with using such devices in this manner is that they are sometimes stolen, lost, sold or given away. Any access right or user registration given to the associated RFID transponder identity is then inherited by the new possessor of the device. This implies a lack of security, since the device may be misused, and makes portable, electronic devices with RFID-transponders less credible.
One object of the present invention is to wholly or partly obviate the above-mentioned problems.
In accordance with a first aspect, the invention more specifically relates to a portable electronic device comprising a transponder with a memory unit. The device is characterised by means for writing user-specific information into the transponder memory unit, so that the transponder, upon receiving an interrogating signal, generates a response signal comprising the user-specific information.
In such a device the RFID-functionality is not statically tied to the device itself, but rather to the user of the device. This eliminates the problem associated with portable, electronic devices changing hands as described above.
Preferably, a portable, electronic device may comprise a detachable subscriber unit from which the user-specific information is retrieved. Such a unit may in the case of a GSM mobile phone be a SIM-unit, which then provides user-specific information which is independent of the phone used.
In a preferred embodiment the portable, electronic device comprises calculating means for calculating an authentication code, included in the user-specific information. This provides for the use of user-specific information that is used only once, thus providing improved credibility. If a detachable subscriber unit is used, the calculating means may preferably be located within this unit.
Preferably, the authentication code may be calculated based on a user-specific key a request code and using an algorithm. This allows excellent credibility and may be readily implemented in systems where such algorithms are used for other reasons, such as for instance in GSM-systems. Then the request code may preferably be comprised in the interrogating signal, received by the portable, electronic device.
In another embodiment, the user-specific information may be a user identity number, such as for instance an IMSI-number. This allows a simple way of performing authentication.
The portable, electronic device may preferably be a GSM mobile phone.
The transponder may preferably be intended to be used as an RFID-tag.
According to a second aspect, the invention relates to a method for use in an interrogating apparatus for authenticating a user, who is carrying a portable, electronic device, comprising a transponder with a memory unit. The method comprises the steps of: transmitting a transponder interrogating signal to the transponder of the portable device; receiving a response signal, comprising user specific information, from the transponder, said user-specific information being written, by means in the portable, electronic device, into a memory unit of the transponder; and determining the authenticity of the user based on the user-specific information.
Similar to the above-mentioned device, this method provides reliable and user-oriented authentication.
Preferably in the method, the transponder interrogating signal comprises a request code, allowing the portable device to calculate an authentication code to be transmitted by the transponder, the calculation being based on the request code and a user-specific key and using an algorithm. The response signal comprises this authentication code. The received authentication code is then compared with an authentication code calculated in the same way on the apparatus' side of the air interface. Then the authenticity of the user is determined based on the comparison. Such a method provides excellent credibility.
Preferably in the method, the transponder may be intended to be used as an RFID-tag.
In accordance with a third aspect, the invention relates to a system for authenticating a user, carrying a portable, electronic device, comprising a transponder with a memory unit. The system comprises an interrogating apparatus and is characterised by means in the interrogating apparatus for transmitting a transponder interrogating signal to the transponder of the portable device; means in the interrogating apparatus for receiving a response signal, comprising user specific information, from the transponder, said user-specific information being written, by means in the portable, electronic device, into a memory unit of the transponder; and means for determining the authenticity of the user based on the user-specific information.
Such a system may operate in connection with or include a portable, electronic device and provides user-oriented authentication with high credibility.
Preferably in the system, the transponder interrogating signal comprises a request code, allowing the portable, electronic device to calculate an authentication code, to be transmitted by the transponder, the calculation being based on the request code and a user-specific key and using an algorithm. The response signal comprises the authentication code and the system comprises means for comparing the received authentication code with an authentication code calculated in the same way on the apparatus' side of the air interface. The system furthermore comprises means for determining the authenticity of the user based on the comparison. Such a system provides excellent credibility.
In a preferred embodiment, the transponder is intended to be used as an RFID-tag.
RFID tags (RFID=Radio Frequency Identification) or RFID transponders are information carriers widely used in modern technology. The well known basic concept of RFID transponders is illustrated by means of an example in FIG. 1, wherein a transponder 101 (shown enlarged) is attached to an object 102, from which information is to be retrieved by means of an interrogating apparatus 103, sometimes referred to as a reading device.
The transponder 101 comprises an antenna 104 and an integrated circuit (IC) 105, which comprises a transponder memory unit. In order, for instance, to identify the object 102, the interrogating apparatus transmits a request radio signal 106, emitted as an electromagnetic field, which is picked up by the transponder antenna 104 and fed to the transponder IC 105. This causes the transponder 101 to transmit a reply signal 107 comprising information which is stored in the transponder memory unit in the IC 105. The information may be information identifying the object 102. Transmission is carried out using the transponder antenna 104. The reading device thus receives information from the transponder.
There are passive transponders and active transponders. Passive transponders have no internal power supply. Instead, passive transponders use the energy in the received interrogating signal to create the reply signal. Active transponders on the other hand are provided with, or connected to, some kind power supply.
The transponder IC may be programmed with information in different ways. Information may be permanently embedded into the hardware when the IC is manufactured. It may also be fed to the IC using wires, or from an interrogating apparatus by means of the air interface. Hence, there are read-only as well as read/write transponders.
Transponder operating frequencies vary from 30 kHz (low-frequency transponders) to more than 2.5 GHz (high-frequency transponders). The stored information quantity varies from a few bytes (passive read-only transponders) up to 1 MB (active read/write transponders). Reading ranges vary from a few centimetres to tens of meters.
An advantage with transponders compared with other information carriers, such as for instance bar codes, is that line-of-sight between reading device (interrogating apparatus) and information carrier (transponder) is not required. The time required to read a transponder is often less than 100 ms.
In this embodiment the telephone comprises an interface 204 between the CPU and the memory unit 203 of an RFID transponder 202 integrated into the telephone. This interface allows the telephone CPU to write user-specific information into the transponder memory unit 203 in the transponder IC. Preferably, the interface 204 allows the CPU both to write information into the memory unit 203 and to read information from the memory. Moreover, it may be advantageous if the interface 204 allows the memory unit to provide interrupt signals to the CPU, for instance if the transponder has received an interrogating signal. In this embodiment the CPU retrieves the IMSI-number (IMSI=International Mobile Subscriber Identity) from the SIM-module. IMSI is a number with up to 15 digits that uniquely identify a subscriber and hence a user. The interface between the CPU and the transponder may be utilised by software-implemented functionalities, and may allow information to be transferred in both directions between the transponder and the CPU.
The SIM-module and the IMSI-number are standard features of GSM systems. Security may be enhanced by requiring a PIN-code for activating the SIM-unit (PIN=Personal Identification Number). The user-specific data (IMSI) may then be written into the memory unit as soon as the PIN-code has been entered.
The CPU is devised to write the IMSI-number or a code derived from the IMSI-number to the transponder memory unit. Upon interrogation, the transponder now transmits the IMSI-number, and hence user-specific information, to an interrogating apparatus.
If the identification procedure is associated with a payment, for instance the electronic payment of a bus ticket, this payment may preferably be effected via the users mobile telephony subscription.
The invention may be used extensively in connection with, for instance, vending machines, access control systems, movie theatres etc. Such services need then be provided with an interrogating apparatus, capable of contacting a device according to an embodiment of the invention. If a payment is involved as described above, the user may preferably be asked to acknowledge the payment in the user interface of the device before being provided with the service (e.g. being let in at a movie theatre or a vending machine delivering goods).
GSM systems support features for authenticating a subscriber. These features involve a subscriber authentication key, Ki and an authentication algorithm A3. In GSM systems, the SIM-module, when provided with a 128 bit pseudo random number, referred to as RAND, calculates, based on Ki and RAND and using A3, a signed response, SRES. This allows the mobile telephony system to authenticate a subscriber. The algorithm A3 is designed so that it is extremely difficult to calculate Ki with RAND, SRES and A3 at hand. RAND may be referred to as a request code, whereas SRES may be referred to as an authentication code.
This functionality may be utilised in connection with an embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in
It should be noted that this embodiment may preferably be combined with the first embodiment, i.e. that both the IMSI-number and SRES may be delivered.
There are different ways for the interrogating apparatus to obtain a RAND and an SRES that is indicative for a given subscriber. As a first alternative the interrogating apparatus may generate a random number RAND and then generate SRES itself. This, however, requires that the interrogating apparatus has knowledge of the authentication key, Ki. Such keys are normally kept very secret, for instance only in the SIM unit and in a single server, such as the users HOME-MSC (MSC=Mobile Services Switching Centre). Therefore it is likely that the interrogating apparatus does not get access to the authentication key.
Instead, the interrogating apparatus may, as illustrated in
As an alternative, the interrogating apparatus may request, for a specific subscriber, a RAND and an SRES corresponding to this RAND. In order to use the correct authentication key, the server or interrogating apparatus, calculating the SRES, must know the identity of the subscriber. The interrogating apparatus may therefore, if the user identity is not already known, first obtain the user identity, for instance the IMSI-number, as described in connection with
A third party, eavesdropping the IMSI, the RAND and the SRES, cannot authenticate himself as the subscriber vis-a-vis the interrogating apparatus, unless the interrogating apparatus uses the same RAND-number again, which is very unlikely (128 bit pseudo-random number, 2128 possibilities). Therefore, SRES may be regarded as a single-use code and excellent credibility is achieved.
The above example is related to the GSM-standard. The invention may also be used in connection with other types of mobile telephones, as long as user/subscriber-specific information is stored in the telephone.
The invention is however also useful in connection with other digital devices, such as for instance PDAs (PDA=Personal Digital Assistant). An RFID-transponder is then mounted in the PDA, and the PDA provides the transponder IC with user-specific information, which may be stored in the PDA or in a memory card inserted into the PDA.
It should also be noted that user-specific information may be manually entered into a portable, electronic device by using various user interfaces. A user may for instance enter a personal identity number or a subscriber number into a device, which number may then be used by the device to authenticate the user.
In summary, the invention relates to a portable, electronic device such as a mobile phone. The device is provided with a transponder and may be used for authentication purposes. The device includes means for writing user-specific information into a memory unit, connected with the transponder. Thus, when an interrogating reading device stimulates the transponder, the transponder emits the user-specific information. This enables authentication of a user rather than of a device. In a preferred embodiment use is made of a user-specific key, by means of which a single-use code is generated, which is used as the emitted user-specific information. The invention also relates to a method and a system, which may work in connection with such a device.

'Love Actually' Contest
Title: Love Waits
Characters: Alice and Jasper
Disclaimer: As usual, Stephenie Meyer owns all the vampires and werewolves, and a few humans too but love is free and should be played with often.
Image that inspired you: Prompt 4
"Do you remember when I gave this to you?" I asked Jasper, twirling the ring he wore on a chain around his neck between my fingers.
"How could I ever forget?" he smiled, taking my hand in his, pressing it to his chest while I snuggled closer in his arms. It was the weekend, which meant no need to leave our bed to go to Forks High School and pretend to be adopted siblings. No, it was Saturday and here in our bed, in our house, we were Alice and Jasper, husband and wife.
I snuggled my head into his neck and he placed a soft kiss on my forehead, both of us enjoying post-coital bliss.
For twenty-eight years I walked alone as a vampire, guided only by my visions of Carlisle and his family and of Jasper. I knew nothing of my past but my future was certain and that future was as Japer's mate for eternity. When he walked into the Melrose Diner in Philadelphia almost sixty years ago it was everything I could do not to pounce on him right there out of pure joy that he had finally found me. However, I knew his life was very different from the one I saw in our future and I knew he would be confused and prepared to fight. I had to remain calm, to convince him as much as I was convinced that we belonged together.
"From the moment I woke into my new life I saw you," I said with a sigh of contentment as he pulled me closer against him. "But in Philadelphia, when I could feel that you were close I just had to get the ring."
Two days before Jasper walked into that diner I knew it was certain that he would be there so I headed to Sansom Street, carefully negotiating the brick paved street in my high heels. As I was walking down the street, I saw a sign hanging in front of a door that said 'Sydney Rosen Jewelers'. I skipped to that side of the street and opened the door, going up a narrow staircase where the jeweler had a small office and showcase. The moment I lay eyes on the white gold wedding band I knew I had to have it.
'I'll take that one, please," I told him as I removed my white gloves and pointed to it through the glass case. "And I would like to have 'Love Waits' engraved on the outside of the band."
"Are you sure you don't need time to think about ma'am?" he questioned me, eyeing me from behind glasses that held his jeweler's magnifier.
"I'm positive," I smiled as he opened the case and pulled it for me to inspect. "Can you do it while I wait?"
"Of course," she answered, moving to a worktable with a bright light and engraver.
"Love waits," he whispered against my ear. "You waited for me."
"You were worth the wait," I whispered back, placing a soft kiss on his lips.
1948, Philadelphia
It was time. July 14th was the day Jasper Whitlock would walk into my world. I looked through the wardrobe in my room at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel and laid a couple of outfits out on the bed. I was trying to decide between the green linen skirt with a matching jacket top or a simple white dress with an empire waist.
I decided on the green. It was a smart outfit and the white just clashed with my skin. Besides, it was a rainy day in the city and white was probably not the best choice. The green dress had a matching hat as well which was perfect for a rainy day.
I buttoned the two oversized buttons on the top and looked in the mirror, smoothing out my skirt and twirling. It was the perfect outfit. He would love it. All I had to do was finish it off. I picked up a pair of black patent leather shoes and matching handbag and slipped on white linen gloves. A lady always covered her hands. One more peek in the mirror and I knew it was time to go meet my destiny.
"Can I hail a cab for you ma'am?" The doorman asked as I stepped out the doors to the sidewalk in front of 'Philadelpia's Hotel'. I had been there for a couple of weeks, choosing it because it was a glorious hotel with Tiffany lamps and lights designed by Thomas Edison, magnificent iron staircases and a glorious ballroom. However, I didn't really get to spend time in the Ballroom. The Democratic National Convention was in town and that room was packed with men. Women weren't exactly welcomed to attend such an 'important' gathering. It didn't matter to me though. I could have cared less about politics. All I cared about was Jasper. The rest of the world didn't exist to me.
"Yes, please," I answered, opening my umbrella. "I'm headed to the Melrose Diner."
The doorman stepped to the curb and a cab was there almost immediately, splashing water form a puddle onto the sidewalk. The doorman stepped back just in time to avoid it.
"Be safe ma'am," the doorman said as he opened the cab door for me before telling the driver where to go.
It was a short cab ride before I saw the neon lights reflecting off the chrome exterior of the Melrose Diner. I was so nervous to finally see Jasper in person but I had to calm down. I didn't want to scare him away.
I walked in to the diner and took a seat at counter, ordering a cup of coffee and a BLT sandwich. It was easy enough to pick apart and slip into my handbag so they thought I was eating. After all, who walks into a diner and doesn't eat?
I was scanning the newspaper when I heard the door chime go off. I turned to see the man of my dreams, my visions, enter.
I watched as Jasper, soaking wet from head to toe, walked to a booth in the corner of the diner. He ordered a coffee and kept an eye on me the entire time. He smelled me the moment I walked in, as I did him. There was confusion and anxiety in his eyes. I continued to remain calm. I needed him to know I was not a threat like the other vampires he had known. I was the love of his life.
I slipped my gloves into my handbag, picked up the bag and my hat, and made my way to him.
As I got close to him, he stood up to greet me but there was trepidation in his eyes.
"You've kept me waiting a long time," I said, smiling. His eyes were pitch-black and I knew he was hungry. He had no idea there was a different way to exist, without human blood so I was certain it was difficult for him inside a diner full of them.
He looked at me with his eyes lowered. "I'm sorry ma'am."
I held out my hand and he took it easily, as if he knew my hand belonged in his. When I felt his skin touch mine, I knew my future, our future, had begun.
"Love waits," I smiled. He smiled as well but I could tell he was confused by everything that was happening. However, his fear had subsided somewhat. He seemed to know I meant him no harm.
"Is there…is there somewhere we can go, to talk?" he asked in a slow southern drawl that made me weak in the knees.
I squeezed his hand to offer him further comfort and reassurance. "Yes there is," I said softly. "I have a hotel room nearby. We can walk."
"But what about the rain?" he asked, opening the front door of the diner for us to leave.
"I have an umbrella," I smiled, reaching for it from the dry spot next to the door I had left it when I came in. "I'll share."
I hooked my arm through Jasper's and we walked hand in hand while he held the umbrella over us until we arrived back at the hotel.
Men in three-piece suits were pouring in and out of the hotel and the bars that surrounded it. Having so many humans so close had to be very trying for Jasper but I wasn't worried.
"There are so many…people," he said hesitantly.
"It's okay," I re-assured him. "You won't hurt them."
"My manners have failed me," he apologized. "I'm Jasper Whitlock."
I giggled. "I know that. I have seen you coming for twenty-eight years."
"Seen me coming?" he asked as we entered the grand lobby of the hotel, his eyes scanning the crowds.
"I have…'visions'…of the future and from the day I woke up into this world, I saw you with me," I explained. "By the way, I'm Alice."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Alice," he smiled, drawing out his words like pulled taffy.
"What floor?" the liftman asked as the elevator doors opened.
"Nine please," I said as we were stepping into the elevator.
Jasper swallowed deep, surely very aware of the human blood pulsing through the liftman's body. Dinner was so close, yet so far away from him. I knew I would have to take him hunting soon.
The doors opened to our floor and I slipped a dollar bill to the man as a tip.
"Have a nice day," he offered as Jasper and I stepped off the elevator and turned towards my room.
I turned my key into the lock of room 914 and opened the door for Jasper who placed his hand against it to hold it open, motioning for me to go first.
"Thank you," I said.
I went straight to the vanity and unpinned my hat, laying it and my gloves on top of the chest of drawers. I then stepped out of my high heels and sat down on the bed.
"I'm sure you have a million questions," I gushed, anxious to find out all about his past, since I had only seen the future.
"Yes, yes, I do," he grinned, pulling on his wet clothes. "But I am soaking wet and would like to get out of these clothes and hop in the shower. Is there a robe I can wear while my clothes drip dry? I don't have change with me."
"Of course you do, silly," I said, stepping off the bed and opening the bathroom door where I held out a fresh change of clothes I had purchased for him when I knew he was arriving.
"How do you do that?" he asked, scrunching his eyebrows together.
"I told you, I have visions. I knew you would need things," I shrugged.
Jasper walked towards me and took the clothes from me. "Thank you, darlin'," he smiled and I was once again weak in my knees. "When I get out of this shower I want to hear all about these visions and all about you and everything you have seen and done."
"We have an eternity to get to know each other," I smiled widely as he stepped into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.
I took my dress off, placed it back on its hanger, slipped on a white satin nightgown with thin shoulder straps, and tied a red and white polka-dot bandana around my hair to keep it in place.
I lay back on the bed, propping feather pillows up behind me. I could hear the water running and I imagined what his body looked like under the wet clothes. However, I would wait. I had to take my time and not frighten him.
His shower was very fast and he stepped from the bathroom in brand new pajama pants and a tank-t-shirt. He had scars all over him but he was still so beautiful.
He seemed conscience of my eyes on him and crossed his arms in front of his chest to hide some of the scars on his arms.
"It's okay," I said softly, reaching my hand out for him. "I won't hurt you. I will never hurt you."
"It's just…I haven't had the easiest life since my change," he mumbled. "I have a lot of scars."
I didn't say anything as he lay down on the bed beside me. I just reached my hand out and rubbed his arm, comforting him. I then leaned forward and placed soft kissed on the scars that peeked out from beneath his undershirt and the bigger scars from his biceps to his hands. He closed his eyes and moaned quietly.
"I still can't believe that you are real, that you are here," I said, turning sideways on the bed to face him. I took his hand in mine and I did not intend to ever let go.
Jasper turned to face me and placed his other hand on my cheek. "I am here and I am not going anywhere without you. You are where I am meant to be. I have no doubt," he said. "But how did you know I was coming? How do your visions work?"
I hesitated, looking down at my hands. I had always felt out of place, outside the norm because of my visions, on top of the fact that I was a vampire all alone. My mood suddenly changed and I felt peace, contentment and love.
"I don't remember one thing about my human life," I sighed. "My first memory was waking up into this life, seeing visions of you and visions of our future, together, with a family called the Cullens."
"Visions?" he asked, perplexed by what I meant.
I was quiet, hesitant to elaborate. It wasn't something I shared.
"I…see…things," I stammered, raising only my eyes to see what Jasper's reaction was.
"Well, that must be your gift, darlin'," he grinned, squeezing my hand.
"Yes, many of us have gifts or abilities," he began. "I am an empath. I feel the emotions and feelings of those around me and I can control theirs. You don't know any other vampires with abilities?"
I lifted my face from the pillow and propped myself on an elbow. I was intrigued by this information. "I don't know any other vampires."
"My visions help me a lot. They told me you were coming and that we would find the Cullens. They tell me when danger is near so I can avoid it and they have helped me with the stock market, which is how I have money. But I have never encountered another vampire. The visions of the Cullens guided me and taught me how to be a 'vegetarian' vampire and how to survive."
"Who are these Cullens?" he asked with trepidation, tensing up a bit.
"They hunt animals, not humans and they live together as a family. I see us as a part of that family."
"A family? Not a coven?"
I giggled. I had to admit to myself this was a very strange conversation to be having.
"Yes, it's a coven in the technical sense but they are a family," I said, smiling widely at him, to re-assure him they were good vampires. "But there is a father, a mother, two boys and a girl."
"And they don't feed on humans?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. The thought appeared so foreign to me.
"No," I smiled. "We will go to them and we will become part of the family. I have seen it."
He was quiet for a moment, contemplating his next question. I waited patiently, ready to tell him anything.
"How do you manage to be around all of these people – in the diner, the hotel, the streets?" he asked softly.
"It doesn't bother me," I said confidently. "I have never fed on a human. Ever since I saw the Cullens in my visions and how they hunted on animals I learned to live that way as well and I will teach you."
"Are you strong? Animal blood is enough to keep you full?" he asked, seemingly surprised.
"I could take you any day," I laughed. "I am very strong and yes, it is enough. You will do fine. I've seen it.
He smiled in amusement before changing the mood and tone. Suddenly I felt a tingling sensation, a need to be closer to him.
"I hope it's not inappropriate to say, but you're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on," he said with such conviction I was certain it was filled with honesty.
I moved a little closer to him and touched his cheek with my hand. I felt so close to him. He was finally with me, right in front of me and I couldn't get enough of him.
"It isn't inappropriate at all," I purred. "I have waited on you for a very long time. I would have been sorely disappointed if I didn't dazzle you."
As I moved closer, Jasper instinctively grasped my thigh and pulled me even closer. He looked deep into my eyes and his tongue peeked out from his mouth to wet his lip as he moved his hand up my thigh to my waist, the satin sliding easily against my skin. We looked deep into each other's eyes and we saw everything we ever wanted in each other. I was content and I could feel that he was as well. I moved my hands down his cheeks, to his jaw and pulled him to me, parting his lips with my tongue.
"Oh my," he moaned.
His hands slid up my back and he pulled me closer to him. I wanted him so badly and my emotions were swinging wildly between intense, unbridled passion and pure bliss, replacing the fear and depression I had detected from Jasper when he first came into the diner. The more I responded to him and the feelings of need and longing I could feel him physically pull away and I would relax, only to soon find myself tugging at his hair, pulling him back towards me, towards my center.
I had never felt these emotions. I felt love. I was in love with Jasper, the man I had envisioned for so long, who I had just met hours earlier. The harder I kissed him I could feel an erection growing, pushing at the pajama pants. I could tell he was trying to avoid me discovering that as he moved and adjusted his hips away from me.
"It's okay, Jasper," I muttered, trying to reassure him.
He reached up and grabbed my face, kissing me hard, his fingers tugging at the bandana in my hair. His hand moved down my neck, his fingertips brushing gently against my skin as he moved to slip my nightgown from my shoulders. I reached for his hips and pulled him closer still, only to have him pull his lips from mine. He moved his hand slowly back up my shoulder and pressed a finger against my mouth. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath then opened his eyes again, looking at me.
I was utterly confused.
"I want you darlin'," he admitted. "Believe me, I want you and I will have you but according to your visions and the emotions that are overwhelming me right now I know we will be together forever. That makes me want to do this right and do right by you. Let's get to know each other first. I want you to be certain."
"I have never been more certain of anything – ever," I said, pushing my finger from his lips, offering him a chaste peck on the cheek.
Jasper scooted back on the bed and sat up, crossing his legs Indian style. I sat up as well and turned my legs to the side as I looked at him with such respect. I wanted him and he wanted me but he was remaining strong and courteous about the whole situation.
"Tell me about you, Alice," he urged.
"There isn't much to tell," I frowned, picking at the blanket with her fingers. "Twenty-eight years ago I woke up in Baltimore, alone, with a serious thirst for blood. Over time, I discovered what I was, but I still don't know who I was before that. However, none of that matters. Every single day for almost three decades, I have seen my life with you and the Cullens and it gave me hope. That has been my entire focus."
He adjusted himself a little more on the bed, facing me straight on, taking both of my hands in his.
"But what about since then? What have you done since then? How do you manage alone?"
"I have wandered – Baltimore, New York City, Philadelphia, Montreal and everywhere in between," I began to rattle off the details of the past three decades. "I worked in a factory during the war -."
"Like Rosie the Riveter?" he chuckled.
"Exactly like that," I giggled. "I didn't need the money but I wanted to do my part and all the other girls were doing it. It was pretty cool. Super human strength comes in handy."
"I would have liked to have seen that," he said, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, I have pictures," I said, jumping from the bed, running to a suitcase I had sitting on a luggage rack. I reached inside, to the satin pocket inside the lid and pulled out a stack of pictures. I leapt back onto the bed and plopped down across from him, dropping the pictures in between us.
Jasper flipped through them and I told him stories behind each. I smiled widely when he found the picture of me in my blue coveralls and bright red lipstick, with a riveter in my hand. It was a shame the colors were black and white and couldn't see how bright the lipstick was against my porcelain skin. There were pictures of me at Niagara Falls and in Times Square on New Year's Eve along with casual pictures of me mocking pin-up girls with LOOK! Magazine in my hands.
I loved watching his face as he saw each picture of me in places he had never laid eyes before. This was all so new to him. I knew these things would happen, but Jasper didn't.
"So tell me about the whole stock market thing and your money," he pleaded.
"Well, during the Great Depression so many people lost their jobs, houses, businesses and family because of the stock market. I focused and I could see the future of businesses and started to invest money I had made at odd jobs, and, well, I did really well."
"What an amazing gift," he responded, reaching out to touch my fingers with his. He seemed to need to touch me as much as I needed to touch him.
"Not all the time," I sighed. "Sometimes I wish I didn't see things and could turn them off." I closed my eyes, shook my head and re-opened my eyes with a new focus. "Now tell me about you."
"You mean you don't know?" he asked in confusion.
"I only saw you coming," I explained. "I see the future. Not the past."
"Where do you want me to start?" I asked.
"From the beginning," she smiled. "From your beginning."
"When I was seventeen years old I lived in Houston, Texas," he began. "It was 1861 and the Civil War was just beginning. I lied to the recruiters and told them I was twenty so I could join the Confederate Army…"
He went on to tell me everything. He told me about his swift rise through the ranks of the Texas Cavalry and how he became the youngest Major ever by the time the Battle of Galveston broke out three years later. Then he told me about Maria, Nettie, Lucie and his brother Peter and his mate Charlotte and how he entered the world of immortality. He told me about the battles and the fighting and I understood completely the extent of his scars – they went far deeper than the scars I could see.
He talked for what seemed like hours, but before we knew it, the sun had come up and set again. I never moved. His story fascinated me and listened intently, running my fingers over his scars, wishing I could make him forget all of his suffering.
"I promise you, Jasper Whitlock, that you will never have to live that way again," I said, leaning forward to kiss his lips. "Your days of suffering are over."
2006, Forks
"Do you remember the day I finally gave you the ring?" I teased, running my fingertips down his chest towards his bellybutton.
"That was the day when Alice Smith became Mrs. Jasper Whitlock," he purred, nibbling on my ear lobes, running his hands up my thighs.
"Yes," I laughed. "You made me wait twenty-eight years for you to come into my life, and then you made me wait another week before we could consummate our relationship."
"Love waits, darlin'," he reminded me. "Love waits."
July 21, 1948 Tannersville, Pennsylvania
Jasper and I had the most fantastic week with one another. For two days, we stayed in the hotel room at the Bellevue-Sheraton and talked. Now nothing about each other that we did not know. It was as if I had always known Jasper, even before my visions. My years of wandering alone, worried about whether my visions were accurate or not evaporated almost immediately when I laid eyes on him.
When we finally left the hotel, we ran together to the Pocono Mountains where we hunted together. I taught Jasper how to hunt, taking down a black bear on my own, which seemed to impress him greatly.
He hadn't touched me intimately since we met. He actually got down on his knee after we fed together for the first time and asked me, insisted, that I marry him first. It was semantics since we were vampires and religious ceremonies held no real value for us. However, he was a southern gentleman through and through and told me I was the truest lady he had ever met. He said I deserved that type of commitment from him, a guarantee of forever. He told me I deserved the dress and the ring, but there were many things he couldn't give me. He couldn't marry me in a church or offer me an official piece of paper. However, he could promise me that he would never leave my side.
The moonlight reflected off the lake just below Mt. Pocono. Through the trees I could see him standing nervously by the water's edge looking towards the trees, waiting for me. He was in a white short-sleeved dress shirt and khaki pants that I had purchased for the occasion. I was so excited to step onto the sandy beach and let him see me.
The trees rustled around me as I stepped from them, catching Jasper's attention. It was late at night and we were all alone.
I purchased my casual wedding gown before we left Philadelphia, having seen this night in my visions. It was a knee-length taffeta champagne-colored dress that peaked in the front, exposing layers of white crinoline from underneath. I walked barefoot in the sand, carrying high heels in one hand that matched my dress and a small bouquet of calla lilies in the other. I glided towards Jasper who had his eyes fixed on me, a wide-grin on his lips. That was my wedding night. After becoming a vampire, I was never sure I would have that human experience, but thanks to Jasper's chivalry, I was experiencing it. I never ever wanted to forget the way he looked as he stood there, waiting for me to become his wife.
He swallowed hard as I stepped in front of him, the water lapping at my toes. I dropped the shoes to the ground and reached out for his hand.
"Hello, darlin'," he smiled wildly, taking my hand in his, rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb. "You kept me waiting."
"Not as long as you kept me waiting," I teased.
"You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in all of my years," he said, running his other hand down my elbow-length sleeves.
"And you are the most handsome man I have ever met," I said. "But I knew that a long time ago."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, shaking nervously.
"Alice Smith, the day I walked into that diner and saw you I knew you were my forever. The millions of miles I have walked over the past eighty years have led me here, to you. I promise to love you for eternity and never leave you. Your days of walking this world alone are over. There is not one journey I want to make without you by my side. Thank you for seeing me, for believing in me - in us and for waiting patiently for me. I will never make you wait for me ever again. Would you be my wife?"
I lowered my eyes, a sense of peace and love washing over me. I took a deep breath and opened them slowly, smiling at Jasper, squeezing his hand.
"I will," I promised as he slipped a simple white gold wedding band on me with the words 'you are my forever' engraved on the inside. "Jasper Whitlock, I have been waiting forever to be your wife. You are my everything and always have been. Every single step I have taken since I woke into this life has brought me to you. The day you walked into that diner my forever began. I promise to love you passionately and fiercely from this day forward. I will never leave your side. Every journey from now on will be one we will take together." I released his hand and untied a satin bow at the bottom of my bouquet that held a ring I slipped onto my ring finger. 'Love Waits' it said.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me hard against him, kissing me with every ounce of passion he had been holding back.
"I love you," he whispered.
"And I love you," I whispered back.

lg 7kg front loading washing machine is rated out of 5 by 74.
Rated 5 out of 5 by dislike housework from So gentle and cleans great! Very happy with my machine that I purchased around 6 months ago - I was very sceptical about getting a front loader but very happy!! I was warned that front loaders can be very noisy and get unbalanced easily - not this one at all! The only downside is the length of time to complete a wash cycle - learnt to use the quick cycle instead!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chris54 from So quiet! I replaced our old LG front loader with this one. The other one had given many years of good service so decided to stick with LG. I love how quiet this machine is and the bumps in the drum are an interesting addition from my last machine. I have no complaints about the machine and would certainly recommend it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Caity180 from Great Basic Washing Machine For the sprice, this washing machine is amazing. Washes clothes well and is very quiet. Only regret is not having a timer, as the loads always go over the specified time in the instruction manual. Otherwise, extremely happy!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Angela Red owner from 30 mins quick wash I brought machine this month & love that it has 30mins quick wash as most is over an 1hr quick wash! Also no more hearing a jumbo jet landing when spin cycle, this machine sing a little tune so you know it's finished!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by bjw09 from Whisper quiet! Bought this machine to replace an old front-loader that had called it quits. Yes, the cycle times are longer than a top-loader, and this machine does lack a display that shows how many minutes are remaining of the program, however other than that it is fantastic. Simple to use and so, so quiet! Such a difference in technology these days it seems...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Richie15 from Great so Far! I bought this item about a month ago and so far so good. The washing machine is quiet and washes everything very well. The only downside is that there is no timer to tell you how long the load will take, but that's a minor issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tinafledderus from washes really well Washes well. My husband is a mechanic so we have very dirty greasy clothes at times. It washes them with ease. Long cotton cycle is about 2 hours. Same as my previous machine. Short 30 is perfect for other clothes that are not very dirty. Big rim for easy cleaning and very quiet! Has 2 inlets. Warm and cold water. When it first starts it will take a little of water at the time so it could make noise in your plumbing. Only does it at the start though.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Keith10815555555555555 from Quite, fast with the 30min wash. We're happy with the machine so far, as stated it's quiet and fast with the 30min wash. I'll never use the cotton wash again as just over 2hrs. Unfortunately the last 2 washes the door has been very hard to open after the wash has finished.

How to handle broken file uploads?Asked by imicallef on October 30, 2014 at 07:39 PM
Hi there,
So I have a store on Shopify that handles customer file uploads through Jotform. Unfortunately I had a situation on the last one, where a file did not upload properly and I got the error below on trying to get it (happens in all browsers, no matter what I try).
I can't afford this error happening again and asking customers to reupload images. Can you advise on how I can make sure customer uploads go through each time? I can alter my form if needed. The upload process can take longer as long as I can see their uploads each time. Thank you.This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.<Error>AccessDenied<Message>Access Denied</Message><RequestId>9E249C3035FF3DED</RequestId><HostId>ICbcG33UiDR+AaFZhmXL3MgRFhjjYBhg7oVhEgNEAeA9JPecO9OzwX1NL6avE0xl</HostId></Error>
JotForm Support
I apologize for the inconvenience.
There are a number of reasons why the uploaded file may become broke.
1. During submission the user was disconnected from the internet or having network issues.
2. The file type is not permitted or cannot be read
3. Upload file size is not in the allowed limit
You can use the File Upload field that we have, but I believe you would like your users to see a preview of their upload right? I'm not sure which one you have already tried, but these are the available widgets that seems to be a fit of your need:
But please do take note that each has it's limitations. For the default File Upload field, you can learn more about allowable file types, file size limit, changing settings, etc... Here in the following links:
As of now, the widgets works fine in my end, but if you happen to get the same error again, you can contact us immediately. I would recommend you test your forms' upload field to see if you can reproduce the problem in your end.
I hope this helps.

A DANISH/BRIT and A BRIT/AUSSIE MEET THROUGH A LOVE OF READING
I've always loved reading. It has always been a part of my life. It was on a long weekend in June 2011 when, on a book researching blitz, I discovered three books that would turn reading into an addiction as well as a love.
The books were Thoughtless and Effortless by S C Stephens and Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. I became so consumed by these books and the characters that I spent the whole weekend immersed in these stories and could not put them down.
The authors had written stories that spoke to me and touched me in a way nothing before them had. The experience I felt reading these books was something I knew I wanted to feel time and time again.
Since then I've been fortunate to have read some amazing books, expanded my reading genres and forged some great friendships through the world of books and every day I thank the wonderful authors for bringing their gift story telling in to my life.
There is nothing like blocking out the world and becoming so consumed and captivated with a story that you feel a part of it, you care about the characters and the times when these characters find a place in your heart…..well, that truly is something so special you wish every single person could experience it.
I never go anywhere without my Kindle and reading to me is not a hobby; it's an important part of who I am and if you want to see a huge smile on my face, just ask me to discuss or recommend one of my favorite books! The smile will literally blind you!
Love Jenny x
I have loved reading since I was 5 years old.
I've always had a book in my hand no matter where I was. That is until last year when I got a kindle for my birthday. I can safely say it was the BEST present EVER!! I have since discovered some of the most amazing authors I would never have known about if it wasn't for my Lawson (who yes is my kindle). I named him after a character by one of my favorite authors Kristen Ashley.
Depending on how busy my life gets I can read anything between 3 – 4 books a week. I don't discriminate, I will literally read anything and everything as long as it has romance, angst or humor in it. I consider anything 3 + stars as a good book and a lot of the time 5 stars just isn't enough.
I never compare books to others when rating them. I don't review the books in the true definition of the word I mostly write about how I felt during and after finishing it. Authors are my Rock Stars…books are my life!!
Love Gitte x
Our friendship was forged from a love of books.
We maintain the same love and passion for reading as we did on the day we started blogging.
We are book soul mates through and through and spend hours every single day chatting about the books we read.

TORONTO - A jetliner carrying 309 people skidded off a runway while landing in a thunderstorm Tuesday, sliding into a ravine and breaking into pieces, but remarkably everyone aboard survived by jumping to safety in the moments before the plane burst into flames.

Fourteen people suffered minor injuries in the 4:03 p.m. crash landing of Air France Flight 358 from Paris - the first time an Airbus A340 had crashed in its 13 years of commercial service.
The plane, carrying 297 passengers and 12 crew, overshot the runway by 200 yards at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, said Steve Shaw, a vice president of the Greater Toronto Airport Authority.
The aircraft skidded down a slope into a wooded area next to one of Canada's busiest highways, and some survivors said that passengers scrambled up to the road to catch rides with passing cars.
"The plane touched ground and we felt it was going off road and hitting a ravine and that's when we thought that was really the end of it," said Olivier Dubois, a passenger who was sitting in the rear of the A340 Airbus.
Stormy forecast for Atlantic, Gulf
WASHINGTON - Note to the millions of people living near the Atlantic and Gulf coasts: Be prepared to batten down the hatches, it'll be a rougher than normal season for tropical storms.
With seven storms, including two hurricanes, already recorded - a record for this early in the year - National Weather Service Director David L. Johnson said Tuesday there could be 11 to 14 more tropical storms, including seven to nine more hurricanes, by the end of November.
Hurricane forecaster Gerry Bell said a combination of warmer waters, low wind shear and low pressure, as well as the jet stream, favor storm formation.
Saudis lay king to rest in desert
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Muslim leaders and Saudi princes bade farewell to King Fahd on Tuesday, saying prayers in a jammed mosque and then burying him in an unmarked desert grave in keeping with the kingdom's austere version of Islam.
Non-Muslims were not allowed at the ceremony. Heads of state and delegations from Western nations, including Vice President Dick Cheney, Britain's Prince Charles and French President Jacques Chirac, were expected to attend today's events.
Abdullah, the de facto ruler over the past decade during Fahd's illness, has worked to seal a bond with President Bush after the Sept. 11 attacks strained U.S.-Saudi ties. He has cracked down on al-Qaida-linked militants in the last two years and begun initial steps of democratic reform.

Pre-teen Heather thought Labyrinth was a mundane and stupid fairy tale. Pre-teen Heather didn't know what she was talking about—it is intricate and humorous and David Bowie rocks. As sources tell me they haven't seen Labyrinth, and in honor of David Bowie, allow me to show you why Jareth is so dang awesome.
WBI ProfileClassification :: Λ24578!#*@
Role :: Assassin (Sarah's personal demon—in a good way)
Motivations :: Idealism (forcing Sarah to grow), Insubordination (Sarah's slave), Lifestyle (a figment of Sarah's imagination?), Personal/Material Gain (Sarah's love and Toby's soul), Power/Influence (over Labyrinthians)
Bonus :: Magic (oogly boogly), Minions (muppets), Lair (Labyrinth), Name (Jareth/Goblin King)
His Significance To…Toby—Jareth kidnaps Toby at Sarah's personal request. It's not because he wants to hurt kids, or he just wants another goblin. He does it because Sarah wished for it. And even so, Jareth isn't cruel to the baby at all. Literally, the worst thing that happens to this kid is a rousing song with goblins and sitting on Jareth's lap (watching a puppet, off-screen) while he monologues. Jareth's quarrel is not with Toby.
Labyrinthians—Jareth wants Sarah. And if some of his subjects get in the way, that is not his problem. They get punished. Harshly. And that's what they're for. In fact, many of the characters join Sarah in order to rebel against Jareth's oppressive leadership, because that's all he is to them.
Sarah—Sarah is the whiniest bitch at the beginning of this film. She's a child. This is important, because in her fight for Toby, the Goblin King himself forces Sarah to mature. Because of his resistance, she sets aside her selfish, silly ways; by providing a fictional struggle to overcome, Jareth empowers Sarah to overcome her real-life struggles, too. Jareth makes Sarah a better person. Because he loves her. And because she needs it.
Notable Actionsbuilding conflict—Jareth is tailored to make Sarah grow into a better person. He gives her a struggle and he deters her from the path, because he loves her, and because she needs to grow.
issuing consequences— Sarah says, "That's not fair!" and Jareth replies, "You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is?" Jareth challenges Sarah's entitlement and gives her exactly what she asks for. He demonstrates what it means to have consequences, and gives Sarah a reason to think about the significance of her actions.
tempting Sarah—he would give Sarah all her dreams for her brother's humanity; he tempts her with desirable things, but leaves her to decide whether she wants to accept the consequences.
Big Ideaperfect match—I classify Jareth as an "assassin," not because he kills people or for his stellar leadership skills, but because he is Sarah's anti-accomplice in the story. His humor and darkness build the challenge Sarah must rise to, and ironically, everything he does as an antagonist is for the protagonist's benefit. How cool is that?
imaginary—another interpretation is that all of the muppets and David Bowie himself are figments of Sarah's imagination, and she uses her favorite characters in her own life story. To that extent, it's interesting that Jareth doesn't have to be "real" by our normal definition to complete this story.
stylish—he has great hair and makeup and outfits with feathers and everything, but also, he has great presentation. His story and statement catch Sarah's attention, of course, but in such a way that makes her reevaluate who she wants to be as a person, her familial relationships, her inner darkness, and her future. [This is the part where you say, "Damn, that's stylish."]
Finally: "Dance Magic Dance." One of my all-time favorite villain songs, with the added bonus of David Bowie's hair.
Have you seen Labyrinth? Are you gonna watch it now?
