"Very truly, I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will have pain, but your pain will turn into joy" (John 16:20)
Remember the times you thought you couldn't endure the pain or the loss any longer? It seemed too much to bear. Maybe you are in a situation like that now.
At such time it's difficult to believe that grief and suffering will be turned into joy. Others can assure us that the pain will pass with time, but usually everything in us doubts this. That's why we need to celebrate Easter continually. We need to recall and welcome the Easter story much more than just once a year. We celebrate Easter every time we look closely at the little surprises of joy in our lives. Each time we announce these joys to ourselves or to others, we are like the angels at the empty tomb announcing resurrection.
I know a woman who is never without the pain of four metal rods pressing into her back. Yet she has found joy beyond her daily pain. She relishes happiness in her relationship with her spouse, delights in her grandchildren, enjoys the beauty of the passing seasons. She is an Easter person who daily chooses to believe that she does not have to stay in the tomb of pain and discouragement.
Risen Christ, lead me to my own Easter moments. Clear my mind and open my heart so I can see the surprising little joys that are waiting to greet me today.

"The bursting of
this bubble will be across all countries and all assets, with the probable exception of high-grade bonds," Grantham warned. "Since no similar global event has occurred before, the stresses to the system are likely to be unexpected. All of this is likely to depress confidence and lower economic activity." Ouch. Grantham sees two big potential catalysts that might turn this bull market into a bear: a surge in inflation, leading to higher interest rates, and a squeeze on profit margins, which are currently running way above long-term averages. As for timing, he concedes that's impossible to predict. But here's the kicker: Even Grantham thinks you probably need to be bullish right now. The reason? Most bubbles, he notes, go through a short but dramatic "exponential phase" just before they burst. Like Japan in 1989 or the Internet in early 2000. "My colleagues," wrote Grantham, "suggest that this global bubble has not yet had this phase and perhaps they are right. ... In which case, pessimists or conservatives will take considerably more pain."

Two Kwik Kings Remain
Of the remaining 24 stores, 22 were sold to Shreeji Bapa Krupa.
OCALA, Fla. -- The co-owners of the Kwik King Food Stores chain of convenience stores found a buyer for the majority of its remaining sites, after selling eight locations to Diamond Oil and another 11 to a local operator, Sam Patidar, in early January, the Star-Banner reported.
The chain's co-owners, Bill Tuck and Ralph Pressley, sold 22 of the remaining 24 stores to Ocala, Fla.-based Shreeji Bapa Krupa last week, the report stated.
"This deal was a really good fit for us," V.M. Patel, co-owner of Shreeji Bapa Krupa, told the paper. "This will help us grow as a company."
Patel told the paper the stores will be changed from Kwik Kings to Quick Kings, and offer BP-, Chevron- or Mobil-branded gasoline.
Kwik King Food Stores, once a 49-unit chain, was bought by Tuck and Pressley in 1999.
"The whole climate of the convenience store industry is changing," Tuck told the paper in a separate report earlier this month. "It's really tough today to deal with the big oil companies."
He expects service at the stores to become more individualized, something that was difficult to do when overseeing 49 stores, he told the paper.
"It's hard to manage 49 stores from an office," he said. "These new owners, they'll focus on the neighborhoods they're in. They'll have more intimate knowledge of their customers' needs."
Diamond Oil's stores will change from Shell to the Diamond Oil banner, while it will supply the 11 sites bought by Patidar with gasoline, according to the report.
Patidar, who operates five other stores in the area, will rebrand the 11 Kwik Kings to Qwik Kings, according to the report.

Story Summary: Oneshot, H/W established, could be read as a sequel to any of my other H/W stories or on its own. Wilson wakes up in the morning and he's thinking about their relationship. It's sweet.
A/N: Just so you know, the last line may seem a little sappy for House, so I will remind you that this is the man who once said to Wilson "If you die, I'm alone" (episode 6.9 "Wilson"). Keep that in mind as you read, and enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own House or any of the characters. If I did, you wouldn't be reading this on fanfiction, you'd be watching it on TV.
Every Morning
Wilson awoke, feeling House's arms around him, holding him close, and smiled to himself. This man never ceased to amaze him. Every single morning since that fateful day when he'd told him: "I love you." There had never been a single time since then that he'd woken up without his lover holding him. Wilson turned gently in House's arms so as to face him without waking him. He gently stroked the older man's still-sleeping face. Watching him sleep fascinated Wilson, but he selfishly longed for his lover to wake up so he could look into his clear perfect eyes. He wanted to know why...every morning...
There had been times when patients had crashed at 2 am and he'd rushed to the hospital and ended up sleeping in his office. He never knew how House knew or how he got there, but somehow he'd managed on that tiny office couch, to squeeze in beside the oncologist and envelope him in his arms.
There had been times when House had had to go into work in the middle of the night or stay insanely late, but he'd always made it back to the loft before Wilson woke up, he was always there to hold him, have his arms around his body be the first thing he'd feel the next day.
Then there had been that terrible night Wilson hoped never to repeat: the night they'd gotten into that awful fight and Wilson had stormed out and slept on the couch in the living room. He'd been angry; he'd slept on the couch because he did not want to fall asleep with House that night. But when he woke up the next morning and felt his best friend's arms around him, heard his relaxed breathing, and looked into the calm, sleeping face, his anger melted away instantly and all was forgiven.
...This morning he was in Los Angeles. There was a medical conference Wilson had attended. There had been no reason for House to come; the conference focused solely on cancer. House had not planned on going. He had not booked a plane ticket with Wilson. He was not registered at the conference. Wilson did not run into him anywhere at the center where the conference was being held. But when he woke up the next morning in the lumpy hotel bed, here he was, fast asleep, his arms around Wilson as though permanently attached.
House woke up slowly as Wilson cupped his cheek, then yawned a bit and smiled at him. "Hello."
"Good morning, you."
"Were you pleasantly surprised?"
"I was. Did you break into the hotel room?"
Gregory House smiled one of his rare, genuine smiles and Wilson stared at him, always amazed and thrilled to be on such a receiving end.
"I just told them I was a Dr. James Wilson and had gotten locked out of my room. I gave them your credit card number and they let me in. So technically it wasn't breaking in."
"Mmm...I wouldn't have minded even if you had," Wilson murmured, stroking his lover's face, running his fingers through his short hair. "Tell me something," Wilson requested softly, looking into the depths of House's wondrous eyes. "Why is it, every morning? I love you and I love having you beside me to wake up to, but I'm curious. Are you afraid I'm going to cheat on you? Do you think that if you're not holding me when I wake up I'm going to slip away?" He continued the caressing of the face, the staring into the deep blue eyes. "Because you know that will never happen," he whispered. "Trust me, I'm not going anywhere; I'm never leaving you."
House smiled and stroked Wilson's cheek in return, running his own fingers through the younger man's longer hair. "No, it's not that. I know you love me and I know you're never going to leave me. I'm not worried about that."
"What then?" Wilson pressed, whispering. It wasn't a demand, certainly. Mere curiosity, wonder, a desire to learn one more fact, anything more about this man he so adored.
House continued to smile at him. "You have to be in my arms when I wake up. That's the only way I know it's not a dream."
A/N: Reviews make my world go round.

The cordless Dremel Stylus, by Robert Bosch Tool Corporation, has an ergonomic pistol-style grip handle that helps users to maintain better control on precision work for a wide range of remodeling and other projects. Its battery, an integrated 7.2V Lithium-ion, charges within the Stylus housing and not as a separate battery pack. Although removing and changing an integrated battery may seem like a challenge, Robert Bosch Tool Corporation has made the process fairly easy.
Things You'll Need
- Screwdriver set
Discharge the battery in your Dremel Stylus by running the motor until the Stylus shuts down from lack of power.
Push the Dremel Stylus ON/OFF button to turn it OFF.
Lock the shaft so that it doesn't turn while you're working. Press and slide "Shaft Lock Button" button forward and rotate the shaft in the front nose piece while holding the Shaft Lock Button until you feel the shaft lock.
Turn the collet nut on the front of your Dremel Stylus by hand or with a small wrench until it unscrews from the shaft, then pull the collet from its housing. If you have a Dremel Stylus inegrated wrench, use it to unscrew the collet nut. Set aside the pieces in a secure location where they can't become easily misplaced.
Remove the nose piece by unsnapping it from the front of the Stylus.
Unscrew the three housing screws with a cross-head screwdriver, set them aside and, lifting up from the bottom of the handle, pull away the housing cover.
Disconnect the battery from its leads and then connect the replacement battery to the leads. Reverse Steps 6 through 4 to put the parts of your Dremel Stylus back together.
Place your Dremel Stylus in its charger to charge the replacement battery before use.
Tips & Warnings
- Never charge install and/or charge a replacement battery if it has any cracks or damage, as the battery can short, potentially causing a fire or leakage of corrosive/caustic material.
- Always place insulating tape around the terminals of your original battery or place in a plastic sealable bag for disposal as old terminals can leak corrosive material.
- Never throw your original battery in the trash. Instead, contact a Skil/Bosch/Dremel service center or a local waste removal center authorized to take lithium-ion batteries or address disposal questions and concerns. To find a local approved waste removal center, call (800) 8-BATTERY.

Recovering Metals from Electronic Waste
This process dissolves the major metals found in electronics, including materials that have been shredded, magnetically separated, or milled to a particle size less than one millimeter.
End-of-life electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, televisions, and other electronics contain significant amounts of valuable metals including base metals (zinc, tin, lead, nickel, and copper), precious metals (silver, gold, and palladium), and rare earth magnets (neodymium, yttrium, samarium). Some electronic scrap is currently landfilled or incinerated, and there is a need to develop more effective processes to capture these valuable metals along with keeping them out of the environment.
Solder Bond Packaging for High-Voltage Pulsed Power Devices
This invention is a superior switching component for pulsed power applications.
The huge demand for switching components exceeding silicon's (Si) current density limitation of 200 A/cm2 has pushed the enhancement of alternative semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride, and diamond. The enhanced material properties of SiC, such as high thermal conductivity, large critical field, wide bandgap, large elastic modulus, and high saturation velocity, make it a viable candidate for pulsed power systems. Using SiC would increase both current and power densities, improve dI/dt and dV/dt capabilities, reduce recovery time, and minimize switching losses in various power electronic systems. Furthermore, a significant reduction in the volume and weight of pulsed power systems can be realized by implementing SiC SGTOs, reducing the thermal management requirements of the pulsed power system.
Chip-Sized Terahertz Modulator for Faster Data Transmission
This modulator is suitable for THz transmitters/receivers on a single chip.
Tufts University engineers have invented a chip-sized, high-speed modulator that operates at terahertz (THz) frequencies at room temperature and at low voltages without consuming DC power. The discovery could transmit data at significantly higher speeds than currently possible.
A Modular Apparatus and Method for Attaching Multiple Devices
This technology improves the real-time monitoring of high-temperature or other harsh environments.
Wireless Electrical Device Using Open-Circuit Elements Having No Electrical Connections
This technology produces sensors for axial load force, linear displacement, rotation, strain, pressure, torque, and motion sensing.
NASA Langley Research Center has developed a wireless, connection-free, open-circuit technology that can be used for developing electrical devices such as sensors that need no physical contact with the properties being measured. At the core of the technology is the SansEC (Sans Electrical Connections) circuit, which is damage-resilient and environmentally friendly to manufacture and use. The technology uses a NASA award-winning magnetic field response measurement acquisition device to provide power to the device and, in the case of a sensor application, to acquire physical property measurements from them. This fundamental new approach using open circuits enables applications such as sensors for axial load force, linear displacement, rotation, strain, pressure, torque, and motion sensing, as well as unique designs such as for a wireless keypad or wireless rotational dial, or for energy storage.
ISO 26262 & Automotive Electronics Development
Compliance standards, especially those that involve relatively new functional safety elements, will likely add additional requirements to the development process. But ISO 26262, in particular, will add more than new requirements to the product life cycle for automotive hardware-software systems. This Functional Safety standard will act as a framework impacting integrated requirements traceability, risk management, validation, verification, documentation and collaboration throughout the systems engineering "V" model life cycle process (see Figure). ISO 26262 will also require the qualification of tools used to create automotive systems. This paper examines the impact of the standard on the development process and support tool chains for automotive electronics.
PTC Heater Brings Greater Control for Hand-held Medical Devices and Disposables
Point of Care diagnostics devices, whether handheld or single-use, often require a brief application of tightly controlled heat. The disposable nature of these devices requires a low-cost component capable of delivering that heat reliably and safely. Heatron's new PTC heater solution uses a polymer-based heater technology that controls heat to within ±2°C of the target temperature, and reduces unit cost by eliminating sensors and applied controls.
MRAM Alternative Uses Less Energy than Conventional Chip
Purely electrical memory chips commonly used today are volatile and their state must be continuously refreshed, which requires a lot of energy. An alternative to these electrical memory chips is magnetic random access memory (MRAM), which saves data magnetically and does not require constant refreshing. They do, however, require relatively large electrical currents to write the data to memory, which reduces reliability.
Reconfigurable Chaos-Based Microchips
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed nonlinear chaos-based integrated circuits that enable computer chips to perform multiple functions with fewer transistors. These integrated circuits can be manufactured with off-the-shelf fabrication processes, and could lead to novel computer architectures that do more with less circuitry and fewer transistors.
Supercomputer Cooling System Uses Refrigerant to Replace Water
Sandia National Laboratories researchers designed a cooling system for supercomputer centers that is expected to save four to five million gallons of water annually in New Mexico if installed at Sandia's computing center, and hundreds of millions of gallons nationally if the method is widely adopted. It is being tested at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), which expects to save a million gallons annually. The system, built by Johnson Controls and called the Thermosyphon Cooler Hybrid System, cools like a refrigerator without the expense and energy needs of a compressor.

Amsterdam Schiphol airport profits up
Amsterdam Schiphol airport made nett profits of 97.3 million euros in the first half of 2011, an increase of 40.5 percent on the same period in 2010.
Schiphol says the profit hike is thanks to the growth in passenger numbers, port duties payable by airlines and an increase in shop and restaurant takings.
Total airport turnover grew 10.8 percent to 604.1 million euros in the first six months of 2011. Schiphol expects the trend to continue for the rest of the year.

Poll: No Buyer's Remorse In ColoradoFebruary 25, 2015
Nearly six out of ten Coloradans say that they support keeping retail marijuana production and sales legal, according to statewide polling data released by Quinnipiac University.
The figure is a five percent increase in support since voters approved the law in November 2012. A September 2014 statewide NBC News/Marist College poll previously reported that 55 percent of Coloradoans favored the law.
Men and younger voters were most likely to support legalization. Voters ages 18 to 34 overwhelmingly favored state law (86 percent to 16 percent) while 50 percent of those ages 55 and older opposed it.
Male voters supported the legalization by a margin of 63 percent to 33 percent, while women only favored the law by a margin of 53 percent to 44 percent.
The gender and age differences in support are not surprising. A just-published study in the February issue of the journal Drug Abuse and Alcohol Dependence reports that women are twice as likely as men to perceive significant risks associated with the use of cannabis. The study reported that those least likely to perceive significant harms associated with cannabis are those between the ages of 18 to 25, those who have completed high-school and/or college, and those with annual household incomes exceeding $75,000.
According to newly released figures by the Colorado Department of Revenue, retail sales of marijuana totaled just under $700 million in Colorado in 2014 – the first full year during which sales of marijuana for both medical and recreational purposes were allowed.
Poll: 60 Percent Of Americans Say States, Not Feds, Ought To Decide Marijuana QuestionDecember 9, 2014
Six out of ten voters believe that states, not the federal government, should authorize and enforce marijuana policy, according to national polling data reported this week by the Washington, DC think-tank Third Way.
When presented with the option, 60 percent of respondents said that state officials ought to possess the authority to "control and decide whether to legalize marijuana." Only 34 percent of those polled said that the federal government ought to enforce marijuana laws.
Similarly, a super-majority of voters (67 percent) agreed, "Congress should pass a bill giving states that have legalized marijuana a safe haven from federal marijuana laws, so long as they have a strong regulatory system."
Overall, 50 percent of voters said that they support legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes while 47 percent opposed the notion. However, among those opposed to legalization, 21 percent endorsed the idea of Congress providing a "safe haven" from federal prohibition in those states that have chosen to legalize the plant's use and sale.
"The fact that state legalization of marijuana violates federal law and creates an untenable policy situation was clear – and the voters we polled responded not with ideological proclamations but by supporting a middle-ground, pragmatic policy which would ease that conflict as the legal landscape continues to quickly shift," representatives for the think-tank stated in a media release. "This means marijuana is not an issue of absolutes for many Americans – rather, it requires a nuanced balancing of values and interests."
Nationwide, voter support for cannabis legalization was highest among Democrats (64 percent), Millennials (61 percent), and non-white/Hispanic voters (61 percent). A majority of women voters and self-identified Republicans opposed legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes. By contrast, majority support (78 percent) for the legalization of cannabis for medicinal purposes extended throughout all demographics.
Among respondents, 54 percent expressed a favorable view of those who used cannabis therapeutically, while only 36 percent said that they possessed a favorable view of social consumers.
When it came to the issue of how to most effectively influence voters' opinions on marijuana law reform, authors reported that neither negative nor positive messaging "moved voters substantially in either direction." Specifically, authors' reported that many respondents failed to sympathize with the idea that the drug war was overly punitive or that the federal government might once again begin cracking down on state-compliant cannabis consumers and providers.
Authors concluded, "As opponents lean heavily into values-based arguments regarding teenage marijuana use and highway safety, more research still needs to be done to identify a compelling value for legalizing recreational marijuana – the way that compassion underlies support for medical marijuana."
Researchers collected opinion data over the course of several months in two separate waves – first with a late summer focus group and then with an October poll of 856 registered voters, conducted online.

Study: Marijuana Use Inversely Associated With Intimate Partner ViolenceAugust 26, 2014
Marijuana use by newly married couples is predictive of less frequent incidences of intimate partner violence perpetration, according to longitudinal data published online ahead of print in the journal Psychology of Addictive Behaviors.
Investigators at Yale University, Rutgers, and the University of Buffalo assessed over 600 couples to determine whether husbands' and wives' cannabis use was predictive of domestic abuse at any time during the first nine years of marriage. Researchers reported: "In this community sample of newly married couples, more frequent marijuana use generally predicted less frequent IPV perpetration, for both men and women, over the first 9 years of marriage. Moderation analyses provided evidence that couples in which both spouses used marijuana frequently were at the lowest risk for IPV perpetration, regardless of the perpetrator's gender."
Stated the study's lead author in a press release: "Although this study supports the perspective that marijuana does not increase, and may decrease, aggressive conflict, we would like to see research replicating these findings, and research examining day-to-day marijuana and alcohol use and the likelihood to IPV on the same day before drawing stronger conclusions."
According to a previous study, published in January in the journal Addictive Behaviors, alcohol consumption — but not cannabis use — is typically associated with increased odds of intimate partner violence. Authors reported: "On any alcohol use days, heavy alcohol use days (five or more standard drinks), and as the number of drinks increased on a given day, the odds of physical and sexual aggression perpetration increased. The odds of psychological aggression increased on heavy alcohol use days only." By contrast, researchers concluded that "marijuana use days did not increase the odds of any type of aggression."
The abstract of the study, "Couples' marijuana use is inversely related to their intimate partner violence over the first 9 years of marriage," is online here.
Pew Poll: Three-Quarters Of US Adults Say That Marijuana Legalization Is InevitableApril 3, 2014
Seventy-five percent of Americans believe that the sale and use of cannabis will eventually be legal for adults, according to national polling data released this week by the Pew Research Center. Pew pollsters have been surveying public opinion on the marijuana legalization issue since 1973, when only 12 percent of Americans supported regulating the substance.
Fifty-four percent of respondents say that marijuana ought to be legal now, according to the poll. The total is the highest percentage of support ever reported by Pew and marks an increase of 2 percent since 2013. Forty-two percent of respondents said that they opposed legalizing marijuana for non-therapeutic purposes. Only 16 percent of Americans said that the plant should not be legalized for any reason.
Demographically, support for cannabis legalization was highest among those age 18 to 29 (70 percent), African Americans (60 percent), and Democrats (63 percent). Support was weakest among those age 65 and older (32 percent) and Republicans (39 percent).
Seventy-six percent of those surveyed oppose incarceration as a punishment for those found to have possessed personal use quantities of marijuana. Only 22 percent of respondents supported sentencing marijuana possession offenders to jail.
Fifty-four percent of those polled expressed concern that legalizing marijuana might lead to greater levels of underage pot use. (Forty-four percent said that it would not.) Overall, however, respondents did not appear to believe that such an outcome would pose the type of significant detrimental health risks presently associated with alcohol. As in other recent polls, respondents overwhelmingly say that using cannabis is far less harmful to health than is drinking alcohol. Sixty-nine percent of those polled said that alcohol "is more harmful to a person's health" than is marijuana. Only 15 percent said that cannabis posed greater health risks. Sixty-three percent of respondents separately said that alcohol is "more harmful to society" than cannabis. Only 23 percent said that marijuana was more harmful.
The Pew poll possesses a margin on error of +/- 2.6 percent.
Recent national polls by Gallup and CNN similarly report majority support among Americans for legalizing and regulating the adult use of the plant.
Commenting on the poll, NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said: "Advocating for the regulation of cannabis for adults is not a fringe political opinion. It is the majority opinion among the public. Elected officials who continue to push for the status quo — the notion that cannabis ought to be criminalized and that the consumers of cannabis ought to be stigmatized and punished — are holding on to a fringe position that is increasingly out-of-step with the their constituents' beliefs."
New York: Legalization Measures Possess Majority SupportFebruary 18, 2014
Most New York state voters support regulating the adult use of cannabis, while a super-majority endorse legalizing the plant for therapeutic purposes, according to a recently released Quinnipiac University poll.
Fifty-seven percent of respondents support "allowing adults in New York State to legally possess small amounts of marijuana for personal use." Only 39 percent of respondents opposed the idea.
Respondents most likely to favor legalization include those age 18 to 29 (83 percent), Democrats (65 percent), those age 30 to 49 (61 percent), and men (63 percent). Support is significant lower among women (51 percent), Republicans (39 percent), and those over the age of 65 (38 percent).
On the issue of legalizing cannabis for therapeutic purposes, voter support rose to 88 percent — with the issue receiving super-majority support from respondents of every age and political affiliation.
In separate questions, only 13 percent of respondents say that they believe that cannabis is "more dangerous" than alcohol, and fewer than half believe that it is a 'gateway' to other illicit substance use.
The survey possesses a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points.
Legislation to legalize the possession, cultivation, and retail sale of the plant — the "Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act" — is pending in both the New York state Senate and the Assembly. Separate legislation to allow qualified patients to possess and purchase cannabis for therapeutic purposes also remains pending.
In January, Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo — who had previously expressed opposition to allowing for the medical use of cannabis — announced plans to use his executive powers to revive a dormant research program that would allow for the use of government-grown marijuana in select hospitals. However, efforts to reestablish similar programs in other states have not been effective.

BMW's Colin Turkington has utterly dominated the BTCC's opening race at Croft while Jason Plato drove a magnificent defensive drive behind amid a multi-car battle for the podium.
The championships leader only cause for concern came through no fault of his own when the initial start was delayed thanks to the red lights failing to release on the starting gantry.
Turkington said during a post race TV interview that the prolonged hold before the lights are supposed to go out burned his BMW's clutch which made the second getaway a tricky procedure.
Once the race was finally underway the Ulsterman was majestic and left Honda's Gordon Shedden well and truly in his wake by nearly eight seconds to take his ninth victory around the Yorkshire based circuit.
Behind the leading duo came the races real source of excitement in the shape of an enthralling battle for the final step of the rostrum.
Plato, after making a tardy getaway to drop behind Shedden's Civic Tourer, faced a race long onslaught from the second BMW of Rob Collard who in turn had defending champion Andrew Jordan and Matt Neal snapping at his heals.
The MG man cleverly positioned his Triple Eight-run machine lap after lap to quell the BMW's infamous RWD traction out of the final hairpin - Plato eventually leading Collard, Jordan and Neal home with the quartet never exchanging positions.
Such was the ferocity of their battle BTCC legend Alain Menu almost capitalised on the quartet tripping over each other and only finished a matter of tenths behind in seventh.
Mat Jackson and Sam Tordoff followed a handful of seconds behind in eighth and ninth while Audi's Hunter Abbott posted his best ever BTCC finish after making the most of running on the softer rubber.

Had been talking to this guy on okc for a bit, asked for my number , gave it and he finally texts me four days later. After I messaged my number, he never replied back, but I saw he's been online in between that time spam. Like wtf? My friend said he's probably just trying to have me as a just in case something better didn't go through, and I feel kinda inclined to believe that because all the guys I've ever given my number to have texted me next day over. Opinions?
How long do you wait to contact someone whose number you got?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
Im with your friend on this one. It may just be just to have it, the thrill of the chase. Its kinda weird too because when numbers are switched online, the contact is usually pretty quick. In person though, lol, that tends to have a bit of a waiting period.22|00|0
I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but he had mention he was new to to okc and wasn't sure how the whole thing worked.
Which means he would have been in a hurry to get out of it if he had a number already... unless... it was one out of many.
Don't give him your number to him if he won't respond to you.
What is your phone number?11|01|0
Huh? We were messaging, he asked for my number, replied back to the message with my number, and then he stopped messaging.

Beretta Px4 9mm sub compact
Have seen a few reviews of these "hot" new Beretta's but of course most of them are less than objective.
Now that gun has been out there awhile, what are the real folks saying about them??? I looked at several of the online auctions and they are still hard to find and the ones that are available are about at or OVER MSRP??
I love mine and it is my primary carry gun right now.
I can really shoot well with it too.

Ditto Don Davis. These are fantastic little pistols and great concealed carry pistols.

Soap Opera Digest: So, this is your first fan event. Nervous?
Jennifer Bransford: I'm really excited. I'm so glad to be here. Events like these are such an important part of the whole medium. The fans are so supportive, so I feel it's good for us to be supportive, too. And, yes, I'm a little scared.
Digest: How are you feeling about Carly now?
Bransford: I feel much more comfortable. It's still draining, but it's a constant discovery. Now that I've been working in the studio with everyone, I feel much more comfortable in the environment. That was the big thing for me — being in the big storyline, having a lot of history, a lot of relationships, just all the newness. I think that's the thing that I'm really getting comfortable with, and that's been in only the past couple weeks or so. In terms of Carly, I'm discovering still, as I get more story, I'm learning even more about her.
Digest: Carly's such a firecracker. What do you like most about her?
Bransford: She's so much fun! My favorite thing is how fiercely loyal she is, and I think it's manifested in ways that aren't typical. She's feisty and impulsive. Certainly, if someone does her wrong or gets in the way, she doesn't hesitate to act out. But she's incredibly loyal to her family and I love that. I love her heart and how she makes mistakes because she'll do something and then think about it. "Why am I so crazy? Why did I do that?" We all make mistakes. People aren't perfect, and I love how Carly's not even close to perfect.Digest: There's an understatement! Fans seemed to love that knock-down, drag-out fight that Carly and Sam had.
Bransford: Kelly [Monaco, Sam] and I saw each other the next day and we were all bruised, but we were like, "It was worth it!" We did our own stunts. We wanted to do the fight ourselves to make it as real as possible. There were stunt people who came in once or twice, like when I flew across the room, the stunt person flew across the room for me. But other than that, we did the fighting and it was really fun. But we decided beforehand that we didn't want it to be a catfight. We wanted it to be a barroom brawl, so we said we're not going to pull hair. We're not going to scratch. We're going to punch!
Digest: What can you tell us about Carly's past with Reese?
Bransford: As of now, Carly knows nothing about it. If anything, she's having some memories about high school, but she doesn't know anything about what's going on with Reese. The thing about Carly is, Carly might not have great judgment, but she has great instincts, and she's got an instinct about Reese. And it has nothing to do with Sonny. It's got to do with her. Is that enough of a tease?

The ability of the country's oil and gas sector to regain its outsourced jobs depends on the global oil outlook next year, the President, Association of Outsourcing Professionals of Nigeria (AOPN), Dr Austin Nweze, has said.
The country lost a a lot of its outsourced workers to the global oil market crisis, which started few years ago.
Speaking during a telephone interview, Nweze said many of the outsourced workers could get jobs, when there is increase in crude oil price.
He said once this happens, activities would peak and people would be employed to fill the vacant positions.
He said there was an increase in oil price from $33 per barrel to $43 per barrel recently, adding that the country would enjoy, if the increase was sustained.
Nweze said: "What Nigeria needs to do to bring back the lost jobs, especially the outsourced ones, is to pray that oil price increase, in tandem with the market forces next year. When this happens, both the local and International Oil Companies(IOCS) that have stopped production, would resume operation. Besides, the companies would revive their operation, by employing qualified personnel.''
He explained that the industry relies on allied sectors for people that can add value to it, arguing that many of its workers would be picked from the various fields.
He said workers in the sector are sourced from within and outside the country to ensure that it gets the best.
He said the industry represents a larger section of the economy, arguing that all the sectors are found in oil and gas.
Nweze said the sector employs engineers, statisticians, accountants, geologists, marine engineers, architects, surveyors and other professionals for growth.
He said these professionals, most times, are outsourced because of their competences.
He said many of the workers are employed by the operating firms in industry.
He observed that operators in both the upstream and downstream segment of the industry are losing jobs daily, adding that the sector would continue to either downsize or right size, in tandem with the economic realities.
Nweze said: "There is a general lure of activities in the industry. Aside the attendant loss of business in the upstream sector that greeted the sales of assets by Chevron, Conoco phillips and other oil majors, the downstream sector is battling problems.There are virtually no new exploration activities in the industry. This is affecting the capacity of the sector to perform optimally.''
He said multinational and local oil firms have lost a lot to crude oil theft, pipeline vandalism, and other untoward practices and are not ready to incur more losses, according to a research carried out by the association.
''From the research, oil and gas firms are ready to keep few, but not highly remunerated workers, such as security and maintenance officers who supervise and watch over their equipment. To oil and gas firms, their services are much needed in view of the unstable socio-economic environment in Nigeria. It is expensive to maintain expatriate workers. Their salaries are in foreign currencies, and it would affect the operational costs of the companies if such workers are kept for long. Now, the industry's problems have rendered them redundant,'' he added.

Charlotte Observer January 2013
Worth the Drive: Head to SC for local fare at American Grocery
by Helen Schwab, photography by Gary Schwab
We are just a few degrees shy of frozen solid around here. Winter has set in.
We are creatures of habit, perhaps never more so than in the cold. So when better than January to begin a quarterly venture in which we'll try to shove you out of the warm warren of Charlotte? (Then again, last I checked, it's supposed to be 72 Saturday, so maybe anytime's a good time.)
I want to highlight somewhere within a significant but reasonable drive that has a place worth driving for. I'll tell you about it, get the owner or chef to suggest another place or two in the vicinity, and invite you to share any others you know.
Today: Greenville, S.C., and the handsome American Grocery Restaurant.
Co-owners and spouses Joe Clarke and Darlene Mann-Clarke, both South Carolina natives, opened this in 2007 after stints in New York and L.A., and have kept a relentless focus on the local, the seasonal and the...


text: I thought I saw a variety of Roundup that worked faster than the regular Round-up Pro. I need to spray some brush (weed) out but don't have much time. It needs to have killed the brush down to the roots within a day or two days at most. Something I can find at my usual outlets, not something that's restricted-use or difficult to find. Any ideas?

I came to this hotel a few years back in 2010, when I went to Crater Lake in the summer. When I was here three years ago, I had a very pleasant experience, so I came back to have another great time.
This time, however, I was greeted by a rude lady at the front desk that treated me terribly, and didn't smile and looked like she didn't want to be there. I would ask her questions, and she would give me quick, short answers. She never once said "hello" or "welcome." She never said "thank you" either. It was a very unpleasant experience.
Also, when I came here, the hotel was almost empty, with only a few cars in the lot. I asked if I could maybe get the room close to the river I had last time I was here. The answer was "No, I don't have the ability to do that, and next the you reserve a room, you should select the option for a 'view room'." That was very rude.
If you're military, you probably shouldn't say that you are, because I get the vibe that they treat you terribly if you are a service member. This is too bad, because the last time I came here, a different lady helped me out, and she was very friendly and kind.
I never felt so un-welcomed at a hotel before, and unless they change the staff, I won't be returning here again.

Daniel Sturridge 'out for a month' with injury
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is set for yet another spell on the sidelines after reports emerged that he will miss most of April with a muscle injury.
Sturridge missed most of the second half of 2014 with a combination of fitness problems and only returned to action in late January, with his comeback helping to inspire a revival in Liverpool's season.
Yet after pulling out of the latest England squad due to injury, it has now emerged that Sturridge has suffered a fresh fitness setback and may miss Liverpool's next few crucial Premier League games, as well as their FA Cup semi-final against Blackburn at Wembley next month.
"I'm a little bit disappointed for Daniel Sturridge, because when he came to us he didn't really feel that the slight problem he felt was really any problem at all," revealed England manager Roy Hodgson.
"When we did the scan and it turned out that there was a problem he was absolutely devastated because he didn't want to leave us.
"There was no option because he has a slight tear and you can't play through that."
The news will come as a hammer blow to Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, who was hoping to get his side back on track after the international break as they look to bounce back from the 2-1 home defeat against Manchester United last weekend.

Selena Gomez Is Probably Hooking Up With The Weeknd
Right now even I need to be distracted by whatever the hell is happening to America, so let's all focus on who Selena Gomez is currently having sex with because, according to TMZ, it's probably The Weeknd who I literally only know from all the sex he used to have with Bella Hadid. We're a sophisticated operation. The important thing is she's not rebounding with Justin Bieber again, so it's only getting easier to ship him in a crate back to Canada. I already laid a trap full of puppies to give away when he's bored with them and Pokemon. Kids love Pokemon, right? Look at the little Jigglypuff! (Is he in? PULL THE STRING.)

I always find something interesting in there, and to my surprise, the latest Nokia Developer newsletter confirms that Lumia 900 will be available this March (You can take a look here). Nokia did not specify the release date for the Lumia 900 at the time of announcement, but some rumors coming from trusted sources (and now this developer letter) confirm it will be available in March. The rumors suggest March 18th as the release date for the Lumia 900. Are you waking up at the break of down to line up for the amazing Lumia 900? I am!

Banner printing in Chesterfield
Tourism could be boosted by banner printing services in Chesterfield
Chesterfield could benefit from a boost in the number of visitors to local attractions which could be influenced by an increased investment in promotions and marketing materials. Chesterfield is home to a wealth of attractions, from the world-famous crooked spire of its church to the grandeur of the National Trust's Elizabethan Hardwick Hall. Companies offering services like banner printing in Chesterfield are keen to help local businesses and tourist attractions to promote their goods, services or facilities to ensure that they continue to prosper in a tough economic climate. Local printing companies such as Minuteman Press can offer a service that is tailored to the specific needs of customers, rather than offering a 'one size fits all' solution that is often offered by some larger online-only companies. This is one of the reasons why local businesses choose to use Minuteman Press for banner printing in Chesterfield.
Chesterfield is an area that has a lot to be proud of and it does continue to attract visitors thanks to its location which borders both the forests associated with the legend of Robin Hood and the majestic Peak District. With the help of companies who provide banner printing in Chesterfield, local businesses and tourist attractions in the area will be able to better entice visitors into their establishments.

Nagi Shimamoto is a worker at the Futo Bird Sanctuary who becomes the unwilling subject of Shinkuro Isaka's experimentation with the powers of the Quetzalcoatlus Dopant. After he kills her father, she is made to be the Quetzalcoatlus Memory's user and both her compatibility with the Memory and her fear of Isaka makes it stronger for him to use later. Isaka makes a copy of the Quetzalcoatlus Memory and uses it on a Red-and-green Macaw to further frighten Nagi by showing a sample of the Memory's powers as the giant Quetzalcoatlus Dopant, the monster Isaka would have her become. The Dopant drags Nagi off until Kamen Rider Double saves her. The copied Dopant is defeated by CycloneJoker Xtreme's Bicker Charge Break. Kamen Rider Accel Trial later destroys the Quetzalcoatlus Memory before it can be used on Nagi to make it more powerful for Isaka's use.
- Nagi shares some similarities to Nodoka Miyazaki from Mahou Sensei: Negima!!:
- Both were portrayed by Miyuu Wagawa.
- Both started their character as the scared and shy type of character which gradually changed because of the encouragement of their respective heroes.

About Us
Debbie Carlos from Ryan Glenn on Vimeo.
I was born in Los Angeles, moved to Manila and am now based in The Midwest. I first studied psychology at Clark University and then went on to get a degree in photography from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Please take a look at my portfolio here.
About the black and white posters:
I have always loved the Eames mantra of "Create the best for the most for the least." Good, beautiful things should be available to everyone. During my time in art school, I began to use the plotters in the architecture department to make quick, large, and affordable prints for class. I loved the rough and textural aesthetic of the black-and-white, half-tone images. Re-appropriating for fine art a printing method usually reserved for architectural drawings allowed me to produce striking pieces that were casual, but also bold.
Some of the places my work has been featured on: Design Sponge, Apartment Therapy, Food & Wine Magazine, Time Out Chicago, Oh Joy!, Lonny Mag, Anthology Mag, Frankie Magazine, West Elm, Better Homes & Gardens, Blonde Mag, Nido, Elle Girl Korea, VT Wonen, HGTV, Simple Lovely, Style at Home, Four Seasons Magazine, Design for Mankind, Design Crush, Design Love Fest, Refinery 29, Gizmodo, and Buzzfeed.
I have also had the honor of working on collaborations with CB2, Urban Outfitters, and J.Crew.
Many thanks to Studio in the Sun for producing our profile video.

Are there any alternatives to submission ID to be used for submission confirmations and reference?Asked by shmuelhonig on January 21, 2014 at 11:45 AM
Is there a way to generate a confirmation number to be included in email notifications, other than the Submission ID? The Submission ID is too long and cumbersome to be used as a confirmation number. Thanks.
JotForm Support
Thank you for contacting us. You could try using the Unique ID widget. This widget increments by 1 whenever there is a new submission. You can define a pattern like the illustration below:
However, you still need to use the submission ID for cases like editing the form like below:
If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you
Thanks! I used the Unique ID Widget, and satrted the numbers at 1000. The value shown in my Google spreadsheet, though, is "01/21/2014 10:01:00". Any idea why that happened and how I can fix it?
Hello, to understand the matter properly. The field of the Unique ID widget is giving you a date?
At this time I have made a test on an example form with a UniqueID field. Then integrated that example form to Google Spreadsheet. This is how it currently displays the uniqueID:
I've also tested your cloned form and it appears to give the data properly. Kindly check that the unique ID has no type of formatting.
Do let us know if the issue persists. Thank you.

Hello zultys,
I'm sorry for the trouble caused to you.
Did you get any error message or the page was refreshed while you were working on your form?
You need to also ensure that you have not loaded your form in editor on more than one browser. Please be noted that we have auto-save option in editor which will cause one version to always replace the version of other editor.
I would suggest you to do the following steps:
1. Clear your browser cache before closing all your browser. The following guide should help you in clearing browser cache: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache
2. Please check your form's "Revision History" and revert back your form to an earlier working version. I did check your form's revision history and it does display several changes and one of them shows 54 updates in revision alone. Please check the screenshot below:
I believe the issue is that you have opened you form in editor on more than one browser. The following guide should help you in restoring your form: https://www.jotform.com/blog/95-Introducing-Form-Revisions-Never-Lose-Your-Work-Again-
Hope this helps.
