Fair Ball
Life isn't always fair. You can't control that, but you can control how you think and act when things don't go your way. You have to hang in there and keep after it, not get down and give up.
Derek has a lot to look forward to. School is almost out, his baseball team is competing in the Westwood Little League Playoffs, and then he'll head to his grandparents' house for the summer. Sure, there are finals to study for first, but Derek doesn't mind. Maybe this year he'll get better grades than Gary. But when his best friend Dave starts to act strangely, ignoring Derek and canceling their plans, his summer isn't looking quite so fun. What's going on? Doesn't he want to be Derek's friend anymore?
Derek is so distracted by his problems with Dave that he makes a mistake in the outfield during a key play—and his team loses the game. It's so unfair! With the championship at stake and finals looming, Derek needs to stay focused or risk everything.

Celluloid Closet. This terrific documentary traces both the overt and covert portrayal of lesbians and gays in the movies from the freedom of the silent era, to the middle of the century (when same-sex relationships in the movies usually ended in death), to today, when a gay character actually has a chance of surviving! This movie is full of wonderful clips and intriguing, behind-the-scenes glimpses from actors and screenwriters. Learn all about the secret love-plot embedded in Ben Hur from Gore Vidal; hear about the obsessive lesbian yearning of the housekeeper Mrs. Danvers in Hitchcock's Rebecca from Susie Bright. Best of all, hear Susan Sarandon talk about the triumph and trials of bedding Catherine Deneuve.
Chungking Express. This delightful, bittersweet love story from Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai is innovative and stylish from start to finish. Two loosely affiliated stories about love connections in the big city blend detective-story intrigue with fantasy romance. Filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai, who is widely known in Hong Kong, has a sly, offbeat sense of how stories should be put together, and the structure of this film is as surprising and fresh as the love lives of the characters. Good performances by handsome young actors make the whole thing even more appealing.
Cold Comfort Farm. John Schlesinger makes a wonderful comeback with Cold Comfort Farm, a zippy comedy with a very sly, British sense of humor. Tons of witty dialogue and clever asides pepper this story of a plucky gal who decides, after the death of her parents, to go live with the most "interesting" family members she can find in order to scavenge fuel for her writing career. The distant relatives she locates are closer to insane than interesting--a weird, gothic clan of vaguely inbred farmers who don't even observe the custom of afternoon tea. The plucky Flora Poste tries her 1930's modern-girl best to turn her relatives' shame-filled, squalid lives into something out of the society section. Ah--but will she succeed?
Dragonheart. Not since the Star Wars trilogy have we seen an otherworldly creature this "realistic" and lovable. Unfortunately, the quality of the storytelling is light years away from that cinematic masterpiece. The plot (and the occasional quip) err at times on the contemporary side considering the 18th-century setting; but Dragonheart overcomes its weaknesses to deliver an action-adventure-comedy that's perfect for bored, young audiences out-of-school children with nowhere to go. The moral for insolent teenagers-in-training may alone be worth the price of admission. Dennis Quaid plays the dragon-slaying knight and Sean Connery is wise, clever Draco, the last dragon. Overall, this is a marvel of special effects with plenty of comic relief to make the cloying sentimentality bearable. On an unlikely yet appropriate scale, it's better than First Knight but not as good as Princess Bride.
Heaven's Prisoners. This long, sweaty look at cops and robbers in bayou country never really coalesces into much of a movie. There are lots of stylish shots and the atmosphere is so thick you could eat it with a fork, but beneath this is virtually nothing! Alec Baldwin plays a tough homicide detective who's trying to retire, but bad guys keep literally falling out of the sky and landing on top of him, and he just can't resist chasing them. Not only is he addicted to fighting crime, he's also battling, unsuccessfully, to stay on the wagon. A bevy of babes, both good and evil (including Teri Hatcher as a clothing-impaired villain), come to soothe and tempt him. The characters run around for two and a half hours, then it's over.
Mission: Impossible. Rather than having a plot, this movie features an accretion of random events arranged next to each other on film. If you're confused during this movie, join the rapidly expanding club. On the other hand, Brian DePalma is a genius at directing action scenes, and you will almost certainly gasp involuntarily when Tom Cruise hangs above that white supercomputer by a thread. Those who consider Cruise to be a babe will certainly find him in top form here. But if you were a fan of the Mission: Impossible TV series, or if you expect your movies to have coherent plots, you will be disappointed.
Phantom. A flick that truly earns the adjective unwatchable, The Phantom is simply the corniest, most predictable, flat piece of filmmaking imaginable. Okay, yes, so a guy runs around the jungle in a purple spandex suit, but don't let that fool you: There's nothing exciting here. Every single line of dialogue has been recycled from other movies (example: "She's a feisty one, isn't she!") and all the sets look like they've been borrowed from the back lot of Xena: Warrior Princess. There's some plot here somewhere, something about forbidden skulls or something; but believe us, it's nothing you haven't seen before. Don't waste an irretrievable portion of life on this travesty.
Spy Hard. A feeding-frenzy of rampant stupidity, shoddy production values and of course, fart jokes. In one particularly depressing aspect of this movie, a whole bunch of actors we haven't seen in a while reappear looking fatter, older and less talented than they ever have in their lives.
When Night is Falling. This story of forbidden love is sure to mesmerize from start to finish with its visually stunning cinematography and set design. The two hesitant lovers, Camille and Petra, are perpetually swathed in warm rose and gold tones and surrounded by an exotic circus of images contrasted with the wintry blue light of the Canadian winter. It's true: You'd have to be pretty cold-hearted not to feel writer/director Patricia Rozema's sense of tenderness and romance. But the plot is a tease. Though Camille is a theologian at a Christian college, the tension between religion and homosexuality--between private and public, individual and society--are only superficially developed. Nonetheless, the film retains a less-is-more resonance that leaves the mind free to admire all the pretty pictures.

Behind the Financial Reform Push, Worries of Warring Regulators
Backers of financial regulatory reform are gearing up for the final stretch in a yearlong effort to construct a new, streamlined architecture. But recent reports and testimony about the financial crisis suggest a crucial ingredient in any new structure is in short supply: cooperation among the watchdogs.
A proposal to eliminate one regulator seen by many as particularly weak -- the Office of Thrift Supervision -- could alleviate some friction. A soon-to-be-released federal examination of the Washington Mutual collapse found that OTS resisted efforts by a more skeptical regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, to take a closer look at WaMu, according to an account in The New York Times.
The Call Geithner Didn't Make While His New York Fed Watched Over Citigroup
The proposition that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, in his prior job as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, didn't do enough to rein in banking giant Citigroup just gained new support.
On Wednesday, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission disclosed that a peer review study by other Federal Reserve banks in 2005 found that the New York Fed "had insufficient resources to conduct supervisory activities" of Citigroup.
Treasury, Ahem, Clarifies Goals for the Mortgage Mod Program
April 15: This post has been corrected.
How many struggling homeowners will get a mortgage modification through the government's $75 billion program? It would seem to be a simple question. But for the past year, the administration has been saying one thing, and observers have been hearing another.
What the administration has been saying is that the program "will help up to 3 to 4 million at-risk homeowners avoid foreclosure by reducing monthly mortgage payments." Sounds like the Treasury Department is aiming to get 3 million to 4 million modifications, right?
Actually, Treasury's real goal is between 1.5 million and 2 million permanent modifications, according to a new watchdog report.
New Data Shows Loan Mod Logjam Continues; Servicers Must Double-check Denials
New data released Friday shows that the story for the government's foreclosure prevention program remains the same: Mortgage servicers have delivered relatively few permanent modifications, and hundreds of thousands of borrowers in trial modifications have yet to receive a final answer after many months of waiting.
To illustrate the performance of the servicers in the program, we've created an interactive breakdown of the data. There, you can see how bad the logjam is at each one.
Last month, we reported that approximately 100,000 homeowners had been stuck in trials for longer than six months and some homeowners had been stuck in trial modifications for as long as 10 months. That hasn't changed – in fact, the numbers continue to worsen.
According to a ProPublica analysis of the new data, approximately 150,000 homeowners have been in a trial for longer than six months. The trials are supposed to last only three months – time for the homeowners to turn in all their financial documentation and demonstrate an ability to make the lower monthly payments.
Your Bailout Update: $315 Billion in the Red
After shrinking for several months, taxpayer exposure to the bailout jumped in February, due to Fannie Mae's receiving another $15.3 billion.
The toll stands at $315.3 billion. That number accounts for not only the bailout money still outstanding, but also the revenue that the government has collected from recipients. Included in that revenue is $1.5 billion the Treasury Department received last week for its auction of Bank of America's common stock warrants. Altogether, the government made a profit of about $4.6 billion through its investment in Bank of America.

But as for the overall approach, it's hard to nick any latenighter that actually tries to say something and doesn't have a sidekick or a bandleader. From the Twin Tower reconstruction efforts to duct tape mania to his ceremonial kick in the ass after ABC dumped him, Maher alone is ready to take on the universe, and that's a gutsier fight than most.Variety Full Review
This effort should be called "Hollywood Babble On." [14 Mar 2003, p.37]Chicago Sun-Times Full Review
Even for many liberals there is something inherently silly about actors' staking out a high moral ground from Bel Air mansions and Aspen-bound private jets. [14 Mar 2003, p.E1]The New York Times Full Review
There's also more of Maher in the new show, and it's no big surprise that more Maher is less. He's a jerk of the old school, full of unexamined anxiety and arrogance, with a habit of using sexual stereotypes from half a century ago both to put down and to compliment people. [17 Mar 2003, p.152]The New Yorker Full Review
Why would HBO, cable's most innovative network ... think it's a good idea to let Bill Maher bring the skeleton of his canceled ABC show, 'Politically Incorrect,' and stuff it into the tattered corpse of 'Dennis Miller Live'?Entertainment Weekly Full Review

Comments and questions are more than welcome; if you wish to contact me please send your E-mails here: [email protected]
Skylar is a normal high school senior, for the most part. He's on the swim team, he's on the school's newspaper, and his grades are decent with some A's and B's. But Skylar has two secrets, He's gay and he's psychic. The only two people that know Skylar's secrets are his mother Katherine and his best friend Angel. Skylar has the same abilities as his mother, Telekinesis, Telepathy, and Hydro kinesis, and she has taught him everything she knows.
"Sky...Skylar!!!" Angel yelled while nudging his friend. "Wake up man, the bell rang it's time for lunch."
"Whaaaa? What? OH! Sorry man I didn't get much sleep last night. I kept having this strange dream that kept waking me up" Skylar said as he and Angel walked out the classroom.
"A dream or a nightmare?"
"Well more of a vision I guess... I dunno man I just feel like someone important is going to come into my life real soon. I'll just talk to my mom about it, she might have an explanation."
As Angel and Skylar sat down at their usual lunch table, Sky felt a strange pulsation and he sort of zoned out. Angel saw Sky's strange expression,
"Sky, are you ok?" Angel asked while helping Skylar to sit.
"I...I'm fine, lemme just run to the bathroom really fast."
"Okay I'll grab us some food."
"Thanks man." Skylar said as he walked towards the bathroom holding his head looking at the ground.
When Skylar turned the corner to go into the bathroom he ran into a guy.(This guy is Asian probably Japanese he has on a Black Leather jacket with slick black very stylish hair the jeans he was wearing fit him extremely well and Skylar was instantly attracted to him)BAMMM, Sky felt another pulsation as he looked at the guy he just bumped.
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to..." Sky tried to apologize but he was cut off by the stranger.
"Don't worry about it." Was all stranger said as he walked into the Café.
Skylar couldn't help but feel like he knew the guy from somewhere, (sky's thoughts) Of course I know him from somewhere... We're in school I probably saw the guy around here before. Skylar quickly used the bathroom washed his hands and threw some cold water on his face to wake himself up a bit. As Skylar returned to his seat and looked up, the guy who he had bumped into was sitting in the table across from him.
"Hey, Angel who is that guy"
Angel was busy talking to some of their other friends at the table.
(Sky in Angels Mind)
"Angel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Angel fell of his seat from the shock, and everyone at the table started to laugh and joke on Angel. Skylar just giggled quietly to himself.
Angel turned to group he was talking to while continuing to talk to Skylar in his mind.
"NOT COOL SKY! What do you want man" Angel said while laughing.
"Sorry man, but do you see that guy over there in the black leather jacket?"
"Ah yeah, that's the new guy. His name is Lucas Yoshida, he just moved here from Japan. Why?"
"I kind a bumped into him on way to the restroom, didn't even get to apologize. I also feel something weird when I look at him"
Angel giggled and patted Skylar's crotch and said "Calm down boy"
"NOT LIKE THAT MAN!" Skylar said while blushing a little.
With that said Skylar got up and walked over to Lucas' table (where he was sitting alone). Skylar was determined to find out more about this guy.
Skylar sat down and introduced himself,
"Hi, I'm Skylar but everyone calls me Sky" Skylar said while extending his hand.
Lucas Just sat there and stared at Skylar with a confused faced.
Skylar did one of those awkward nervous giggles "Hehehe, look man I'm really sorry for bumping into you over there."
"I told you not to worry about it, but yeah okay I accept your apology, and my name is Lucas" Lucas said while finally shaking Skylar's hand.
Skylar spends the rest of the lunch period with Lucas.
"Aw damn there's the bell, Umm what's your next class Lucas?"
Lucas pulls out his schedule
"Looks like I have English next, and you?"
"Damn I have AP Statistics, completely different floors. Alright man well here I'll give you my number and maybe we can get together and hang out sometime?"
"Uhh sure that sounds ok."
Skylar and Lucas exchanged numbers said bye and went their separate ways. Now it's the end of the day and Skylar is on his way to his locker.
"SKY! Wait up... "Angel yelled while running up to Skylar
"Soooo did you make a date or what?"
"Man I told you it's not like that, it has to do with my dreams from last night."
"Wait so you mean, you knew you were gonna meet Lucas before you actually met him? But u can't see into the future that's not one of your gifts."
"I know that's why I'm going to talk to my mom about it later tonight."
Skylar always takes a short cut through the Gym to get to his locker, When Skylar and Angel walked into the Gym they noticed a group of guys behind the bleachers, and he heard Lucas yell,
"Aww man Sky, it sounds like Lucas could use some help"
"Yeah it does but I sense some strong energy coming from over there."
"Then we better get over there fast"
"Yeah I agree, let's go!"
But Before Skylar and Angel can get to Lucas....
"I WARNED YOU!!!" Lucas yelled, Lightning was shooting off of Lucas while he slowly levitated into the air. Lucas reached out and waved his hand towards the jocks surrounding him and 3 of them went flying across the gym. He held out his other hand a shot a ball of lightning into 2 more of the guys. The last guy started running.
"Oh no you don't!" Lucas yelled while floating towards the 6th guy and catching up really fast, He zoomed right in front of the guy that was running reached out his hand the guy ran his neck right into Lucas' hand, Lucas slowly lifted the 6th guy off the ground by his neck. Skylar had to stop Lucas before this got too far.
"Lucas! STOP IT!" Skylar yelled as he flew towards Lucas using his telekinesis.
Lucas turned his head and Skylar stopped mid flight. Lucas' eyes were pure white as if he was possessed. Lucas dropped the guy he was holding, made a lightning ball in his left and flew to Skylar and tackled him down to the ground holding the lightning ball right in Skylar's face.
"Lucas! It's me! Skylar!" Skylar yelled trying to snap Lucas out of it....
This chapter is only short because I want some feedback on whether or not you guys want more.
I post this story on a different site and there are several more chapters, but I wanted to see if I can grab some more readers here.
I was thinking about putting a group together that would receive an e-mail of any up and coming chapters or delays or any other updates I might want my readers to know. If you want to be added into that group just send an e-mail.
I posted my E-mail in the intro above.
Hope you guys enjoyed it!!!

We report the observation of modulation instability (MI) in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral region by pumping a hybrid polymer-chalcogenide optical microwire with a femtosecond optical parametric oscillator operating at 2.6 μm. It is further shown that this MI occurs in the normal dispersion regime through negative fourth-order dispersion and leads to far-detuned parametric frequency conversion at 2 and 3.5 μm, despite the presence of a strong absorption band around 2.8 μm. Stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equation simulations of mid-IR MI are in excellent agreement with experiments.

But part of its strategy, allowing firms to trade carbon permits, has been criticised for allowing industry to keep polluting.

Submission limits in the form preferences are not savingAsked by ClassifiedSuccessNetwork on May 31, 2016 at 12:56 PM
Hi, when I go to preferences for any form I'm working on to set the submission limit, it doesn't seem to save the information I enter. For example, under Status I will select the option to Disable on Date and Submission Limit. I will also set the Submission Limit to 12, for example. I save the changes, but when I go back in, it's reverted back to the default settings. It's been doing this for the last couple of forms we've created. How can I fix this?

G.O.P. Holds Big Fund-Raiser for Pataki
By IAN FISHER
Published: July 26, 1994
At a fund-raiser last night that New York State Republicans painted as a symbolic emergence from the party's humiliation four years ago, Republican leaders raised what they said was $2.5 million to help State Senator George E. Pataki in his bid to unseat Gov. Mario M. Cuomo this fall.
The event's chairman, United States Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato, the chief architect of Mr. Pataki's candidacy, said it was the party's largest fund-raiser for a gubernatorial candidate in 12 years. The sum was just a bit short of the combined total that the two previous Republican challengers spent for their entire campaigns.
"People smell an opportunity to win," Mr. D'Amato said shortly before the event at the Imperial Ballroom at the Sheraton New York. "People are stepping up to put their money where their mouth is."
Last night, Mr. Pataki pounded on his familiar theme of blaming Mr. Cuomo for high crime rates, high taxes and losses of jobs. "We cannot afford not to win this race," he said. "We must give the state back to the people who made it great, and let them do it one more time." He offered no specific plans of his own. Cuomo 'Could Lose'
While the general election is more than three months away and Mr. Pataki may still face a costly primary challenge, Mr. Cuomo sounded considerably less buoyant yesterday about the certainty of a fourth term, at a time when his popularity ratings have been low and voter disenchantment appears strong.
"Oh yes, I could lose," Mr. Cuomo said emphatically at a speech before the New York State Broadcasters Association in Saratoga Springs. "If anybody out there was thinking about not giving me money because they were sure I was going to win, it's good to remind them I could lose unless they give me money."
Campaign officials for both Mr. Pataki and Mr. Cuomo have estimated that the campaign will cost each candidate well over $10 million. Senator Dole on Hand
The $1,000-a-person Pataki fund-raiser, attended by Bob Dole, the Senate minority leader and one of the nation's most prominent Republicans, attracted about 1,400 people, some of whom pledged to raise up to $50,000 each for the campaign.
In actual cash collected, the Pataki campaign had roughly $1.5 million in hand before the fund-raiser began last night, said Zenia Mucha, a spokeswoman for Mr. D'Amato, though the Pataki campaign said the number was about $1 million. Charles A. Gargano, the campaign's finance chairman, said roughly $2.5 million in pledges was received at the event.
Four years ago, Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, won re-election handily as the Republican candidate, Pierre A. Rinfret, just barely edged out his opponent from the Conservative Party, Herbert London, now the Republicans' candidate for comptroller, and fund-raisers had trouble finding Republicans to donate. A Peekskill Lawyer
Not counting the money from this event, Mr. Pataki, a lawyer and state legislator from Peekskill, has raised a total of $2.2 million -- more than either of Mr. Cuomo's last two Republican challengers.
"When you get the kind of turnout we are getting tonight," said Mr. Gargano, "it's an indication of the kind of support we are getting."
Mr. D'Amato and Pataki campaign officials said many of the donors had not regularly given to gubernatorial races before, which they say is a sign of support for Mr. Pataki's candidacy as well as hunger to unseat Mr. Cuomo.
But many also conceded that Mr. Pataki is relatively unknown as well as untested, and faces a difficult challenge from Mr. Cuomo, a seasoned and tough campaigner who has raised more than $5 million so far and enjoys deep support from Democrats in New York and around the nation.
"Pataki is doing well so far because it's an ABC -- Anyone but Cuomo," said Jay Severin, a Republican strategist who is advising the party's candidates for state comptroller and United States Senate. "The difference between being merely viable as a challenger and being a contender is to transfer that disenchantment from an anti-Cuomo vote into a pro-Pataki vote."
In the latest financial filing, on July 15, Mr. Cuomo had raised a total of $5.16 million for the campaign and had $3.55 million on hand. Mr. Pataki had a total of $1.3 million in hand.
Saying the Governor has little trouble raising money, Joel Benenson, a spokesman for Mr. Cuomo's campaign, questioned the estimates for last night's fund-raiser released by Mr. Pataki's campaign, which had ranged from $2 million to as high as $3 million before the event.
"We don't revise our estimates down," he said. "We meet our goals and surpass them."
Mr. Pataki may face a primary race against Richard M. Rosenbaum, the former Republican State Committee chairman who has himself raised $1.7 million without the backing of Mr. D'Amato or the party machinery. Though Mr. Pataki has said in the past that he would welcome a primary contest, he took the first step last week toward challenging Mr. Rosenbaum's petitions -- a move that, if successful, would eliminate Mr. Rosenbaum from the running.
"If he was so strong, I doubt he would be backing away from his boast that he welcomes a primary and would beat Rosenbaum by four or five to one," Mr. Benenson said. "But that's exactly what he is doing by challenging Rosenbaum's petitions."
Mr. Cuomo will also have an opponent in the Sept. 13 primary after a decision yesterday by his supporters to drop a challenge to Lenora Fulani, leader of the New Alliance Party.
"I think the powers that be decided: let the people decide," said Dominic Baranello, a former state party chairman and one of those who had led the effort to challenge petitions from Ms. Fulani seeking a spot on the Democratic ballot.

If you plan on line drying: buy up to two sizes larger in length and waist. Machine wash on warm, air dry for a classic rigid feel.

Jannah: The Ultimate Reward
By Danish Vaiyani
What do you do when you think of death? If you're anything like me, you quickly push the thought out of your head. We often plan ahead for things such as retirement by saving up and investing our money, and we prepare for a career by going to school. Yet, most of us rarely think about death, even though it is the one thing in life that is guaranteed to us. Even when we do think about death, we think of it negatively by reflecting upon what we are going to leave behind. More often than not, we do not realize that there are positive aspects to death as well, such as the promise of Jannah ( Paradise) to all believers.
The entire process of judgment begins immediately after death. The experiences of those who were pious and those who were not are completely different. For example, the Qur'an says that, at the time of death, the pious will have their souls gently drawn out, while the wicked will have their souls torn out. Everybody who is to enter Paradise will be shown their place in Hell—had they not believed—so that they will be thankful. Likewise, those to enter Hell will be shown their place in Paradise had they believed so that they will be remorseful. Also, the graves of the pious will be spacious, while the graves of the disbelievers will be small and cramped, such that a person's ribs will be pushed together so that they overlap one another. Finally, angels will question the deceased person in his grave and will ask him about his life and how he spent his time.
On the Day of Judgment, each person will be judged according to his deeds. Allah says in the Qur'an: "That Day will every soul be requited for what it earned; no injustice will there be that Day, for Allah is Swift in taking account" (40:17). Some people will go to Jannah, and some will go to Hell. However, some of those that go to Hell will eventually be taken out and placed in Heaven. The Prophet (saws) said in a hadith, "When the people of Paradise have entered Paradise, and the people of the Fire have entered the Fire, Allah will say, 'Take out (of the Fire) whoever has got faith equal to a mustard seed in his heart.' They will come out, and by that time, they would be burnt and become like coal, and then they will be thrown into the River of Al-Hayyat (Life) and they will spring up just as a seed grows on the bank of a rainwater stream. Don't you see that the germinating seed comes out yellow and twisted?"
The reward for the pious is the ultimate of rewards, Jannah. Allah says, "If any do deeds of righteousness—be they male or female—and have faith, they will enter Heaven and not the least injustice will be done to them" (4:124). Jannah has been described beautifully in the Qur'an as having numerous trees, and an abundance of water, fruit, and shade. People will live therein forever, because no one will die, and they will live in lofty mansions and sit on thrones.
In stark contrast, the life of this world is full of illusion and deceit. Allah warns in the Qur'an, "Know ye (all) that the life of this world is but play and amusement pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying (in rivalry) among yourselves riches and children" (57:20). That does not suggest that we all abandon our current lives, run away to the mountains, find ourselves a nice cave, and read the Qur'an for the rest of our days. Being nice to others is a form of worship. Being honest in our dealings and work and abstaining from lying is a form of worship. Being steadfast in our prayers is also a form of worship. Live one day at a time, and make the most of each day. In addition, it helps to remember Allah's assurance that "if anyone does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful" (4:110). God willing, when we die, may we be granted the reward of living in Jannah forever. Ameen. ̹

Hex Mesh and Sizing Function Help
3 Attachment(s)
Hello cfd-online forums. I was given a geometry that needs to be re-meshed and I am new to the ANSYS Workbench application. With all of the options and how everything is set up, it is a bit overwhelming. I would like to use a hex mesh on the model, but it does not turn out well when I try it (see figures). Can this be remedied using sizing functions or will I have to use the tetra mesh method? Thanks for any help!

"I had an idea of what I was looking for and couldn't find… I think it must be every woman's fantasy to dream up an ideal bag and shoe. It was great to be able to make exactly what you want."
"For the day bags, I wanted classic colors that could go with everything and you wouldn't get tired of, but weren't black."
"Lauren Hutton is one of my fashion heroines. I had her in mind when we did the Monogram pochette."
"The idea is that the city bag fits all of your things during the day. And that you can keep the clutch inside and slip it out at night. Or you can do what I do, which is leave the day bag at home, with your work behind, and then take the clutch out in the evening."
"It was great to look at all the materials they have available at Louis Vuitton. They showed me beautiful things once I told them what I was looking for."
"For the sandals, I worked with Fabrizio, the shoe expert. While I was speaking, describing what I wanted, he would draw it at the same time. That was cool."
"I especially love the navy day bag, and asphalt grey suede day bag… and the black pochette with gold piping and matching shoes."
"I put myself in everything I do."
"My idea of Louis Vuitton was of a company with a great heritage and great quality, and working with them solidified this."

Don't take this as Florida-Georgia Line Cruise Remix ft. Nelly I'm talking we need to cruise over the quality of Adventure Time.
I remember when I first saw AT I loved it so much I watched every new episode every Monday. Then comes:
Marceline X PB
Flame Princess
Jake's pups
Lady Rainicorn being pregnant
and BAM I quit watching the episodes every Monday because it was probably Finn and his relationship with Flame Princess or Jake worrying about his puppies or something stupid like that.
As soon as I saw Marceline X PB I was like "Oh shat" because I knew where this was heading. The war between homosexuals and straight people right here on a wiki about a cartoon.
Does anyone else agree that Adventure Time's amazing unique quality is increasingly declining?

Halloween is only a few weeks away, and that means it's time to carve pumpkins and figure out costumes. If you don't want to mess with pulling together a head to toe outfit this year, you can just dress up your eyes or your lips.
Makeup artist Eva Senín Pernas has some gorgeous examples of lip art creations that are themed for the holidays. She's painted lips to look like a Jack O'Lantern, a witch, cats in a graveyard, and more. I'm amazed by how much detail she can include in such a small amount of space.

Pakistan were off to a confident start in their first innings after South Africa's Mark Boucher hit a fighting half-century on day two of the second cricket Test here.
The home team reached 51 at tea without loss with openers Salman Butt (30) and Kamran Akmal (21) batting fluently in reply to the tourist's total of 357 at the Gaddafi Stadium.
Butt looked in great touch as he hit paceman Dale Steyn for three boundaries while Akmal also struck one to take 19 off the fourth over and then help post the fifty in just the eighth over.
South Africa owed their total to a defiant 88-run stand, the highest of the innings, between Boucher (54) and Paul Harris who made a career-best 46.
Boucher was the last man out when he holed out at leg-spinner Danish Kaneria who was the pick of the home bowlers with 4-114. He hit Kaneria for a six to reach his 26th half-century.
Boucher's 132-ball knock, studded with four boundaries and a six, paved the way for the tourists' respectable total.
Pakistan had dismissed overnight batsman Andre Nel for nought off the fifth ball of the day when paceman Umar Gul had him caught fending a short delivery. South Africa had lost Nel on their overnight total of 259.
The home team's efforts to wrap up the South African innings early and to build on their advantage of the first day were quashed by Boucher who combined with Harris to frustrate the home attack.
Harris showed remarkable guts as the tail-ender improved his best Test score of 11 made against India in Cape Town earlier this year.
He negotiated Gul and Mohammad Asif well and twice swept Danish Kaneria to the square-leg boundary to help the tourists reach lunch at 322-7.
Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik once again did not use left-arm spinner Abdul Rehman until half-an-hour before lunch.
It was finally Gul who broke the stubborn stand when he had Harris driving uppishly and was caught by Malik in the covers. Harris hit six boundaries during his resolute 160-minute knock.
Gul finished with 3-103.

The San Diego Chargers released veteran inside linebacker Takeo Spikes last month, which left a hole at the position, and this could be addressed in April's NFL Draft.
According to Michael Gehlken of ustandiego.com, "The Chargers are among those do their homework. Linebackers coach Joe Berry met Kiko Alonso at the combine. Earlier this month, Alonso visited the facility."
Gehlken continued by saying "The Chargers are expected to entertain the option of investing a draft pick at this position."
Alonso spent his collegiate career with the Oregon Ducks and was named to a Second Team All-Pac 12 last season. Alonso had 81 tackles, 14 tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles and was effective in passing situations as well because he had six pass deflections and four interceptions.
According to CBS Sports, Alonso ranks 84th among prospects and San Diego has the 14th pick in round three which would be the 78th overall pick, so they would not be taking him too far ahead of his projection.
Former 2011 second round pick Jonas Mouton along with Bront Bird are the current options for San Diego at ILB. Mouton missed the 2011 season with an injury and appeared in three games last season while the undrafted Bird appeared in 14 games over two seasons.
Alonso was arrested twice, which included a DUI that led to him being suspended for the 2010 NCAA season, but his arrests happened in the past and holding this against someone for his or her future could be a mistake.
Alonso, Bird and Mouton will be 23, 24 and 25 years old when the 2013 NFL season begins, so San Diego could have their ILB for the future in one of these three men. The lack of depth at ILB needs to be addressed in the draft because San Diego's front office does not have much money to spend on a free agent.

Nothing except I'm sorry for you! I don't have one...but I will say there are other posts floating around here very similar to yours!
All I can tell you is that it requires alot of patience. Have you read the threats on Cricut? Maybe that can help you out some.
Good luck. Hope it works out for you.
It seems most people find they need to make it a full time job to figure it out.
Hi Judyi! There are at least 400 threads on here about the cricut cake, here is one that should keep you busy for awhile.
I LOVE mine!!! Takes practice! But so does everything that is worth doing, I guess!
hi Judyi I'm sorry u are having a hard time with cricut, I tried mine today and it actually worked, what i did was use wilton fondant (about a bar soap size of it) add tylose (1 teaspoon) and 1 spoon of gum paste mix (also from wilton)mix it well, put some crisco on the mat with a pastry brush, roll the fondant in the cricut mat as thin as u can (you could almost see the line trough it) and let air dry for about 10 min. set cricut on a speed of three and pressure of 2. hope this helps good luck
I got mine about a month ago and works. It takes lots of practice though. My daughter and I use it every weekend and have lots of fun. I just saw the Cricut cake machine is on sale at Michaels at $299.99. For those who want one, it is a good time to buy.

By Joseph A. Clark
NEW YORK (AdviceIQ) -- Most people think inflation is bad on its face. But one school of economic thought holds that a little inflation is a good thing, if it is confined to assets such as stocks and real estate. It's when it spills over to the supermarket or gas station that no one is an inflation fan.
Our central bank's policy is to goose asset prices, thus getting the sluggish economy finally moving, but that kind of precision is a tall order and there are other factors in inflation -- such as the weather distortions this year, which created more than just travel and meeting interruptions. The extreme drought in the West led to the loss of cattle and crops. This in turn spurred commodity prices higher.
The bill at the grocery store is rising faster than many household budgets are prepared to absorb. I asked my wife what she thought about inflation, and her response was less than positive.
The Consumer Price Index overall rose 1.1% in February, and food was up 0.4% four times the rate of the month before. Prior months were 0.1% or zero. U.S.-grown food inflation is worst among meat and dairy, and coffee is way up thanks to a drought in Brazil.
True enough, inflation raises the price of goods and services, but that in itself does not make inflation all bad. Again, I asked my wife if she wanted assets such as the value of our house and investments to appreciate. She replied: Sure, but what about food costs?

Question: Eric Wilmot and Renee Harmeau form WH Associates Properties
Eric Wilmot and Renee Harmeau form WH & Associates Properties LLP, a limited liability partnership in Rochester, Minnesota, to purchase and manage commercial and residential real estate in the Rochester area. WH & Associates owns five residential apartment buildings, the largest of which has 32 units on two floors and has a value of $3 million. WH & Associates also owns seven strip shopping centers, of which the biggest has 12 stores and a value of $6 million. The total value of all the apartment buildings and shopping centers owned by WH & Associates is $31 million. Most of the residential buildings and shopping centers have been purchased partly with loans for which the properties are collateral. To escape the harsh Minnesota winters, Wilmot wants to move his home to Jacksonville, Florida. He also wants to move WH Associates' management office to Jacksonville. In addition, he has identified a mall in Jacksonville that he wants to buy for the LLP. The mall has 32 stores, and the asking price is $29 million. To purchase the mall, Wilmot wants to borrow $27 million. Does Wilmot have the authority to move WH Associates' office, to purchase the mall, and to borrow money to fund the purchase?

If so, what are your reasons?
Personally I have a lot of stress in my life and have to deal with all of that. I worry that in the future I am going to be so used to just looking out for myself that I will be disgusted at the thought of some woman feeling entitled that I take care of her when I've fought so hard for everything I've earned.
Most Helpful Girl
Nope. I'm not even a dating kind of gal, because it's not really a part of my culture. Where I live, people basically get into relationships with people they already know from their social circles. And I guess some people go through some kind of dating phase, but it's much less formal and a lot more chill. We don't call it dating, we just call it hanging out hahaha. So there's none of that "oh em gee third date" or "aaaah when should I call him/her next" stuff. It sort of just happens.
As for yourself, do whatever feels good, man. Society has some damn high standards when it comes to dating (EVERYONE should be doing it and EVERYONE should be married before 30!1!1) but you don't have to do any of that if you don't want to. Take your time. Also, "taking care" of a woman is probably not what you think it is. It's more of a "I got your back while you got mine" kind of thing, I think. Comparable with what most families, and even some friendships, have. It's more about just being there for her for support (and not necessarily financially), just as she will be there for you when you need it.00|00|0

Question: The text discussion of RRA is primarily in terms of
The text discussion of RRA is primarily in terms of the relevance and reliability of the asset valuation of oil and gas reserves. RRA can also be evaluated in terms of the criteria for revenue recognition. Under IAS 18, revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, the seller loses control over the items, the revenue and related costs can be measured reliably, and collection is reasonably assured. Required a. At what point in their operating cycle do most industrial and retail firms regard revenue as having been earned (i.e., realized)? Use the IAS 18 revenue recognition criteria above to explain why. b. Suppose that X Ltd. is an oil and gas producer. X Ltd. uses RRA on its books and prepares its financial statements on this basis. When (i. e., at what point in the operating cycle) is revenue recognized under RRA? Does this point meet the criteria for revenue recognition for sale of goods as given in IAS 18? Explain why or why not.

A Visit from Sir Nicholas(2004)
(The ninth book in the Effington Family series)
A novel by Victoria Alexander
Everyone knows that an Effington always gets her way ... but this time it's not going to be easy!
Lady Elizabeth Effington simply could not suitably feel the joy of the Christmas season. Ten years had passed since she had boldly declared her love for Sir Nicholas Collingsworth. He rebuffed her and set out to seek his fortunes, while Elizabeth was left a woman scorned. Now, she discovers in horror that the inheritance she's managed beautifully was never hers to control. No, power over her finances lay in the hands of the last man she ever wants to see again: Nicholas!
But running Elizabeth's life isn't part of Nick's plans. He's intrigued when he discovers that the frivolous and flighty girl he once knew has turned into a beautiful and capable woman. Nick vows to woo -- and win -- her, and while she seems unmoved by his fervent seduction, he swears he will not rest until she accepts that most precious gift of all -- the gift of love.

Love is complex, and redundant if you actually delve into it. Why should we go through LOVE, in order to get married?
Most Helpful Girl
Because, even if your marriage works without love, it's never going to be as happy as it should be. You just cruise through that part of your life, never finding out if there was something else you could've wanted; if it could've been better.
Said marriage is also more likely to become emotionally ruined in the face of a challenge.00|00|0
MARRIAGE doesn't mean you both shouldn't be there for each other and do the things you both expect out of each other. You marry them because you like them. Love doesn't serve any purpose is my point. And, can you not call it LOVE because you're gauging each other out? You don't, so why call it LOVE at all.
- Show AllShow Less
Haha, cheers for sharing your opinion. Always is great when someone stands up for what they believe in :) But, I'd like reiterate again that "LOVE is redundant even if you want that person to be there for the rest of your live".
Not in my books, dude. But whatever works for you, as long as it doesn't detract from someone's happiness in a significant way.

Demonic gladiators, ruthless mafia villains, and a race on the brink of distinction: What will become of them? One proud leader wields his power to unlock dark mysteries in the third book in this fierce, sensual new paranormal romance series.
When the head of the Five Clans of the Dragon Kings wants something, he gets it. Raised among the most privileged of his dying race, Malnefoley conceals a devastating tragedy from his youth. Now many call him the Usurper because of his unconventional rise to power. His influence is waning while the Dragon Kings must solve the puzzle of their slow extinction. So when a particularly important captive escapes his compound in the Greek mountains, Malnefoley leaves nothing to chance.
She is his prisoner to retrieve. The woman is known as the Pet, a former associate of a sadistic doctor from the Asters, a human crime cartel. Her loyalties cannot be trusted, even when she claims to hold the secret to conception - an invaluable secret for a race unable to procreate. Neither can her unique gift from the Great Dragon be believed. She's a soothsayer, able to see glimpses of the future. Her quest is to find and save a Cage warrior on the verge of her first match - a young woman whose destiny is bound to a timeless prophecy.
Malnefoley has no respect for the ancient superstitions that brought about his childhood trauma. His only goal is to return the Pet to his compound and use her knowledge for the betterment of their people. Yet her restless energy and raw sensuality are as intriguing as her predictions about the rise of the Great Dragon. He dares not trust the crafty fugitive's loyalties, but as their treacherous chase turns passionate, can he even trust himself?

During a busy morning commute, hill staffers and DC professionals had their regular routine disrupted by a group of Native women praying in Union Station. At 8am on Tuesday Nov 15, 20 people, led by DC Standing Rock Coalition and FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture, gathered in Union Station, DC to pray that President Obama to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. Hope Butler (Piscataway Conoy Tribe of Maryland) stated, "President Obama, we fear what the future holds under Trump. If you do not stop the pipeline during your term, the blood of our relatives will be on your hands."

Here is the mission:
While the profile of sexual consent has risen dramatically in the past few years, there is still a lot of confusion about consent in the mainstream media. Some people try to argue that consent is complicated, confusing, awkward or too difficult to practice. But we know that open and direct communication improves sex, and sex without consent is assault.
To show the endless ways people are happily practicing consent FORCE is hosting the "Negotiating Sex in 30 Seconds or Less" video contest. Groups from colleges and the general public are invited to make 30 second videos that demonstrate negotiating sex: from asking for a kiss, to discussing condom use, to describing just how you like it.
Here is the deal:
The contest will run from April 25 to October 1. Thanks to our funders and sponsors the Harnisch Foundation and Sugar, the video with the most "likes" will win a $1000 cash prize!
To enter the contest, upload your video to youtube and email the link to email@example.com the subject line "30 seconds". Your video will be added to the official contest youtube playlist.
Contest Rules:
1. All videos must be 30 seconds long or less. Compilations of a series of 30 second clips will be accepted.
2. Videos must by submitted by midnight on OCTOBER 1 at 5p EST. All voting must conclude by October 3 at 9a EST
3. Voting will be by viewers choice, meaning that the winner will be the video with the most "likes" on youtube. Make sure you share your video widely for a fair shot at winning!
4. All videos must demonstrate consent. Consent is communication between sexual partners about what they do and do not want for their bodies. Consent must be enthusiastic and it must be ongoing. That means if you give consent once, you haven't agreed to that sexual act for all time. Sex without consent is rape.
5. All videos should demonstrate how sex can be safe, empowering and pleasurable rather than coercive and violent. Any videos that perpetuate rape culture will not be included in the contest.
6. FORCE reserves the right to disqualify any videos which do not follow the above rules.
The Monument Quilt is an on-going collection of stories from survivors of rape and abuse. Written, stitched, and painted onto red fabric, our stories are displayed in city and town centers to create and demand public space to heal. The quilt resists the popular and narrow narrative of how sexual violence occurs by telling many stories, not one. The quilt builds a new culture where survivors are publicly supported, rather than publicly shamed.
To date, over 1,500 collected quilt squares have been displayed in 25 different cities across the US (read more on CNN and MSNBC). As the quilt continues to grow, survivors, loved ones and supporters are encouraged to make a square. In a culminating display in Washington DC, 6,000 fabric squares will blanket over one mile of the national mall to spell "Not Alone."
In September 2013, FORCE tricked the internet into believing that Playboy had released an updated anti-rape party school guide dubbed, "The Ultimate Guide to a Consensual Good Time." The Top Ten Party Commandments highlighted student visionaries ringing in an era of better sex. As the fake website proclaimed, " A good college party is all about everyone having a good time. Consent is all about everyone having a good time. Rape is only a good time if you're a rapist. And fuck those people." Playboy postponed releasing their top ten guide as a result of the action.
FORCE created a coupon saver to protest a case in which, despite the fact that its store supervisor sexually assaulted a 13-year-old, Dollar General was fighting the survivor's family and the survivor's tribe to avoid paying any penalty for the molestation of a minor interning at their store. If ruled in Dollar General's favor, this case would severely limit all American Indian Nations' ability to protect their citizens from crimes like the sexual assault this young person experienced. In coordination with fellow Native American activists, FORCE created a fake "coupon saver" to bring attention to the above-mentioned Dollar General Supreme Court case.
FORCE worked as a consultant with the Virginia Action Alliance to: promote their hotline to African American Women, promote their LGBTQ Helpline, and create a video as a guide to talk with middle school youth about consent. Learn more about Virginia Action Alliance here.
In a rape culture, people are surrounded by language, laws, and everyday phenomena that validate and perpetuate rape; it creates an environment where rape is a problem that seems like it cannot be solved.
On Feb 14, 2013, FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture floated 44 giant Styrofoam letters in the reflecting pool to spell, "I CAN'T FORGET WHAT HAPPENED BUT NO ONE ELSE REMEMBERS". The poem, written by a survivor, highlights the isolating and silencing experience of rape in the United States. The poem was a demonstration for The Monument Project: a call to create a permanent memorial to survivors of rape and abuse.
"PINK loves CONSENT" was a web-based prank that made consent go viral and sparked an internet revolution. FORCE pretended to be Victoria's Secret promoting a new line of consent-themed, anti-rape panties. The action and internet aftermath got millions of people talking about consent, rape culture, and the sexual empowerment of women. You can read more about the campaign and people's reaction in this Huff Post Article.
FORCE projected "RAPE is RAPE onto the US Capitol Building with stories of survivors during the 2012 national election. The stories fell outside of the definition of "forcible rape" and illuminate what is missing from the national conversation on the politics of rape: the experience of survivors. The demonstration was carried off in collaboration with Luminous Intervention.
Women are twice as likely to be raped in their lifetime than to develop breast cancer. Only 14% of all rape fits lawmakers Ryan, Akins and Rivard's narrow vision of "forcible rape". The stories projected onto the capitol building last night are from the other 86% of people who have been raped."As a young girl I was raped by a group of teenage boys. They put money on the bed afterward. I was convinced it was my fault" "My boyfriend kept trying to have sex with me. I kept saying no. He stopped after I started crying. I was 15. I remember apologizing later for crying. " "I can't even count the number of time I have had sex against my will. Some of the times I was pressured and other times I was drunk. I've never been able to call these situations rape" FORCE strongly believes that American culture is uncomfortable to the point of being incapable of recognizing the reality of rape in this country. The organizers believe that the culture of rape will not improve until a more difficult conversation is had. These stories were projected to force the issue.
