I'm new to online dating, so I'm not sure how aggressive to be here
A girl initiated an email with me about a week ago. I'm very interested in her, we'd send an email to each other every day. The 4th one she sent me, she gave me her number telling me it'd be easier for us to chat
I text her today, and her texts are straightforward and to the point. She doesn't seem annoyed or anything - still very friendly, but not super 'chatty'. We've exchanged about 3 texts only and I'm starting to think maybe I should ask her out now so we can meet this week. I hate talking on the phone and texting - I'd much rather meet and get that out of the way now
Is this too soon? I don't want to scare her off by being so forward since I met her on an online dating site, and I have no doubt that she probably has a lot of options at her disposal, she's very mature and attractive. I don't want to come off as desperate
Asked her out - said yes! Can't wait!

Move on it don't overthink it. You won't know until you get off your ass. She may be a pro or may be a nice friends with benefits or may be nothing.00|00|0

FlashTrek Broken Mirror 1.1 by FTBMWatch
This is my version of FlashTrek Broken Mirror with the Vegas bug and the Tholian uber bug removed. It also has a way to get from Pirates Haven. (Try the map!!) I am currently looking for a cure to the build bug but that isn't in this version.
Actually the buildbug is in this version. Once you buy your (either 8th or 9th, it takes the slot of the second to last) station build design, you can no longer make stations. With my luck this happened when I bought the Dyson Sphere plan. You spend 9mil to get, then another 9mil on the deuranium. So if you culd pleeeeeaaaaase fix this bug, Im sure it would be greatly appreciated by everyone!
Instant fav.
this game awesome
i love this game its ace and i no all the cheats for this game
You sure the Vegas bug is removed? I'm still getting it! Dx
if u press tab u will c 3 boxes if u press shift spacebar u can be the borg a higher ranking cardassian or something else i forget the last one
ooooo now thats a first heheh ive never actualy seen DA feature games before XD.
Tholian uber bug?
There was an error in the original version of the game that made the 'uber' ship for civilians flash. This has been corrected
Uber ship for civilians? I've never seen that before, how on earth dya get it? I only know of the one for the Earth Empire
Nice game.

PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a type of hard plastic. Commonly used in construction, PVC is the material of choice for items such as siding, plumbing, and fencing because it is lightweight, affordable and easy to maintain. All PVC fencing really requires is a periodic cleaning with soap and water to remove dirt and residue. While PVC is very durable, it does occasionally get stained. For example, direct contact with metal objects can leave unsightly rust stains on PVC. Fortunately, these can be easily removed with distilled white vinegar and a bit of elbow grease.
Things You'll Need
- Garden hose
- 1 tsp. liquid dish washing soap
- Stiff-bristled brush
- Sponge
- Distilled white vinegar
Remove any metal objects at or near the site of the stain. Rust is caused by the oxidation of metal and therefore is not commonly associated with PVC. If there are no metal objects near the fence, the stain is probably from exposure to hard water, not rust.
Spray the fence with water from a standard garden hose. This will remove any loose dust, dirt or debris. Use a nozzle to create adequate pressure or place your thumb over the end of the hose, partially covering the opening. By decreasing the available exit area you increase the velocity of the water.
Mix 1 tsp. of liquid dish washing soap into 2 cups of water. Stir briskly to create soap suds. Apply this solution to the stained portion of the fence with a stiff-bristled brush. Scrub the affected area lightly using small, circular motions to lift the stain from the surface of the plastic. Rinse the area with clear water.
Rub the rust stain with a sponge that has been soaked in distilled white vinegar. Apply light pressure to the sponge while scrubbing. Wipe the vinegar away with a wet cloth and repeat if necessary.

2014 Honda Civic ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
The Honda Civic has been improved once again for 2014 to help keep it fresh and maintain it's position as the best-selling compact car in America. Available in sedan or coupe bodies, all but the Si and Natural Gas trims are powered by a 143 horsepower, 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder with a standard five-speed manual transmission and optional Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The performance-oriented Si comes with a 205 horsepower 2.4-liter inline-four bolted only to a six-speed manual, while the Natural Gas model is powered by a dedicated natural gas version of the 1.8-liter gas engine and the new CVT. A unique HF trim ekes out additional fuel economy with the help of aerodynamic add-ons, lightweight alloy wheels and low rolling-resistance tires. Standard safety features on all Civics include electronic stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes with brake assist, six airbags, daytime running lights and tire pressure monitoring. Tech features include Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a rearview camera with guidelines and ECO-Assist technology on all trims, automatic climate control for EX models and up, front fog lights for EX-L models and subscription free FM traffic updates with the optional navigation system. New premium features for 2014 include Honda LaneWatch blind spot camera, smart entry with push button starting and a 7-inch display audio touchscreen media center. The EX-L sedan is now standard with an 8-way power adjustable driver seat. Following the 2013 refresh of the sedan, the coupe is refreshed for 2014 with updated exterior styling and all models receive further interior refinements and technology.

Some advantages of Java Sockets:
Sockets are flexible and sufficient. Efficient socket based programming can be easily implemented for general communications. Sockets cause low network traffic. Unlike HTML forms and CGI scripts that generate and transfer whole web pages for each new request, Java applets can send only necessary updated information.
Some disadvantages of Java Sockets:
Security restrictions are sometimes overbearing because a Java applet running in a Web browser is only able to establish connections to the machine where it came from, and to nowhere else on the network Despite all of the useful and helpful Java features, Socket based communications allows only to send packets of raw data between applications. Both the client-side and server-side have to provide mechanisms to make the data useful in any way.

In recent trading, shares of Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corp ( WMC) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $10.81, changing hands for $10.85/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised.

Skip to comments.St. Nick The Grinch: Nasty Santa Fired From Mall After Parents Complained On Facebook
Posted on 12/09/2012 9:13:30 AM PST by lowbridge
Turns out, everyones susceptible to the holiday blues: a mall Santa was fired in Maine for being a downright grinch. Parents complained and fa-la-la-la-la, he lost his job.
Taking to Facebook, the angry parents voiced their irritation with the Scrooge Santa. The mother of 6-year-old Chantel Mailhiot told WGME 13 that the Santa wouldnt allow her daughter to sit on his lap simply because she didnt purchase a $20 photo package. Apparently, though, it gets worse: even after little Chantel told Santa she wanted an American girl doll, he told her that instead, shed get an American football.
After Chantels mom went on Facebook to lodge her complaint, she found a sea of complaints from other parents regarding the callous Santa, as well. Janelle Bavota wrote, The Santa here is extremely rude, abrupt, and has no holiday spirit whatsoever. I was very disappointed. Others complained of dirty looks from the Santa to their children.
Another mom, Ka Judice, said,
We had the same experience today. He made my 11 year old son cry [sic] basically told him he was being greedy my son who has neurological problems and very much believes was so confused!!! I dont know what to do now. If I take him to a new Santa elsewhere my kids might notice the difference. They have always believed the mall had the real Santa.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaite.com ...
Football? Whats a football? - Ralphie
The kids should just start believing in Santa Obama. He'll just give the kids all kinds of free goodies after forcefully taking them from the parents!
And that's part of the problem with the war on Christianity - the evil-doers will try to fill traditional places in order to subvert the whole concept - similar to the activists that get jobs in social actions type positions. We were better off when winos donned the red suit and beards...
Who needs Santa anyway? We've got Obama Claus now. He's the 24/7 365 Santa! Woot!!!! This joint is now like one of those year round Christmas stores they have for tourists where it's Christmas every day of the year.
I always told mine that Santa is "the spirit of Christmas", and that people dress up like Santa to bring joy to others in celebration of Jesus' birthday, but you can't actually see a real spirit. This led into a discussion of the Holy Spirit.
I like that explanation.
Apparently, though, it gets worse: even after little Chantel told Santa she wanted an American girl doll
Maybe he was trying to be nice to her parents. Has anyone checked the price of an American Girl doll? If he had promised one it would have committed her parents to spending a couple hundred buck.

It's an indisputable fact - our bodies change as we get older and so does our need for dentistry. These changes take different forms in different people, depending on our inherited physical traits, our lifestyle and nutritional habits, and our medical conditions.
Age brings changes in oral health and your need for dental care, too. There are some specific areas where seniors need to pay close attention to protect and extend their oral health.
Daily brushing and flossing are important, particularly first thing in the morning and just before bed, to combat the plaque that builds up overnight. You may also want to consult your dentist about using commercial rinses that remove plaque.
Good dental care, regular check-ups, and good nutrition are the keys to really keep you smiling in your golden years!
By Brian J. Gray, DDS, MAGD, FICO
Q. How does one care for primary teeth?
A. As soon as the first tooth erupts, primary teeth may be cleaned with a clean, wet wash cloth or wet gauze. The gums should also be gently wiped. If a toothbrush is used, it should be an appropriate size.
Q. Where does decay on the primary teeth occur most often?
A. With inappropriate or prolonged use of the baby bottle, decay may occur on the upper front teeth (incisors). The second most-often occurring site are the upper primary molars, which are found furthest back in the mouth. If there is no spacing between the primary teeth, there is a much greater chance of decay between the primary molars. These teeth should be flossed as soon as they come in.
Q. Why are dental sealants beneficial for children?
A. Dental sealants are protective coatings for the chewing surface of permanent molars. They protect the teeth from decay. Read on for more information.
Q. What is a dental implant?
A. A dental implant is a permanent artificial tooth replacement after a tooth loss.
Q. What is the procedure for receiving dental implants?
A. Dental implats are inserted surgically in two steps. The first step is to insert a "post" into or onto the jawbone. This post will then become the "anchor" for the artificial tooth that will be placed over the "post."
Q. How long is the procedure for dental implants?
A. Getting a dental implant is a two step process. Once te "post" is inserted into the jawbone, the patient will have between three and six months with a temporary restoration. During this period, the bone and gum area around the post will heal to create a strong and healthy bond. Once this bond is complete, an additional set of smaller posts is attached to the original post and then the artificial tooth is secured to the posts. The entire procedure could take anywhere from three to ten months.
Q. Can I eat regularly while the implants are bonding?
A. While th "post" is bonding with your jaw and gums, your dentist will place a temporary artificial tooth on the post. During the bonding period, you will need to eat soft foods.
Q. Do implants require special care?
A. Yes and No. Dental implants need to be brushed, flossed and checked regularly ba dentist, just as you would do with your regular teeth. But dental implants don't need special brushes or pastes.
Q. Can you eat and chew normally with dental implants?
A. Yes. Consider that natural teeth can absorb up to approximately 540 lbs. per square inch of biting pressure and properly placed dental implants can withstand up to approximately 450 lbs. per square inch of the same pressure.
Q. How long should a dental implant last?
A. With proper placement, excellent home care, regular dental visits, and good overall health, dental implants should be permanent.
Q. What are wisdom teeth?
A. Wisdom teeth are the third molars.
Q. Why is it necessary to remove wisdom teeth?
A. It is necessary to remove wisdom teeth to avoid problems, such as an impacted tooth destroying the second molar.
Q. Why do wisdom teeth cause problems?
A. Wisdom teeth generate problems because the shape of the modern human mouth is too small to accommodate these teeth, and they become impacted or unable to come in or move into their proper place.
Q. What problems occur from impacted third molars?
A. Partially erupted wisdom teeth are breeding grounds for bacteria and germs that may cause infection. Cysts and tumors may grow on trapped wisdom teeth.
Q. How is a wisdom tooth removed?
A. Wisdom teeth are remove by surgery. The gum tissue over the tooth is removed, the connective tissue is stripped gently away from the tooth and bone, the tooth is removed, and the gum sutured.
Q. When are lasers used in dentistry?
A. Lasers are used in oral surgery, gum surgery, tooth whitening, cancer sore treatment, and the treatment of gums that have been diseased.

We offer a wide array of solutions to your therapy needs, whether they be physical, occupational or speech and language-related. Our experienced team of therapists, who are specifically trained in home health care, understand the value of a collaborative approach. That's why we all work together, no matter our specific area of focus, to find the best course of treatment for every patient.
Call a therapist today at (800) 757-3326 to find out how we can help you and your loved ones.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists focus on helping patients to function and move – or in more powerful terms, to give someone their active life back. This includes being able to walk, climb stairs, contribute to society and live safely in your own home. By examining a patient, making a diagnosis, and either preventing or treating conditions that limit the ability to move, our physical therapists help patients achieve a healthier, more active lifestyle. In developing a treatment or fitness plan tailored just for you, a VNA physical therapist can also help you reduce pain and prevent disability or loss of mobility.
Your treatment may also help with:
- Arthritis
- Back Pain
- Knee Pain
- Osteoporosis
- Overuse injuries
- Shoulder pain
- Stroke
- Sprains, strains, and fractures
Give one of our physical therapists a call today at (800) 757-3326 to find out how we can help.
Geriatric Certified Specialists take physical therapy one step further.
In an effort to best serve Maine's aging population, several of our physical therapists have achieved Geriatric Certified Specialist certification, a designation bestowed by the American Physical Therapy Association. It is a certification process for physical therapists committed to providing the best care to patients aged 65 and older, who are chronically ill or, who are healthy but require treatment for an incident. Geriatric Certified Specialists focus on the specific needs of the geriatric patient population, rather than applying general treatment programs typically best suited for younger adults. Currently on VNA's staff is Dr. Bill Anderson, the only home health therapist who is also a Geriatric Certified Specialist, in all of southern Maine. We expect more of our therapists to join Dr. Anderson in this certification following a lengthy and rigorous educational training. We'll look to our Geriatric Certified Specialists for facilitating innovation in establishing specific care programs and pathways relating to geriatrics, including orthopedic/joint replacement, osteoporosis, balance and falls programming, congestive heart failure, Parkinson's Disease, and other diseases that impair function. VNA anticipates that Geriatric Certified Specialists will note greater improvement with their patients. Under their care, patients will be approached with a deeper level of understanding and insight into their personal needs. These skills will become even more essential to meet the complex issues that will arise as our community ages.
To find out more about this program, call us at (800) 757-3326.
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists focus on assisting you with successfully completing everyday activities. These include getting in and out of bed, on and off of the toilet, personal hygiene and making a meal. VNA's therapists can help you regain skills lost after sustaining an injury and provide support as you experience the cognitive and physical changes that occur with age. After visiting you in your home and conducting an evaluation, we will work with you, your family and caregivers, to determine your personal goals. Next, we will customize a treatment plan for you that will improve your ability to complete daily activities and reach your goals, which may include using adaptive equipment or modifying your home environment. Over time, we'll also discuss your plan and progress with you and your caregivers to determine if changes are needed. At VNA, we want to be the people who make it possible for you to live safely in your own home. If that means installing a commode next to your bed so that you don't have to walk to the bathroom at night, or creating a long handled dressing stick for putting on socks, that's what we'll do. Our goal is for you to safely complete everyday tasks without fear of pain or harm.
Call (800) 757-3326 today to speak with one of our occupational therapists about your questions or concerns.
Speech Therapy
Our speech therapists, formally known as speech-language pathologists, focus on treating speech, language and swallowing disorders. Elders may experience these difficulties for many reasons. These communication disorders could result from accidents or illnesses and diseases, such as a stroke, brain injury, oral or laryngeal cancer, Huntington's Disease, Dementia or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). We offer skilled clinical services through evaluation and treatment of a variety of communication problems. By visiting you in your home and completing a comprehensive evaluation, we work with you, your family members and caregivers to provide strategies to maintain functional communication. Our evaluation entails assessing your speech, language, swallowing and possible cognitive impairment. Then, we create an exercise, education and training plan on the best strategies to improve these disorders. At VNA, we feel that it is an honor to go into your home and be a part of the team working with you to increase your quality of life. We are proud to provide you the same quality care that you would receive in an outpatient clinic, in your very own home. By being at home, you have the opportunity to become more functional as you can work toward your goals in the environment you will be performing tasks. We see great motivation and then success in our patients simply because they want to be at home.
Call one of our speech therapists today at (800) 757-3326 to find out how we can assist you and your family.

Some in cutting mood as Pittsfield budget review begins
Photo Gallery | Special Pittsfield City Council meeting for mayor's new budget plan
PITTSFIELD — Fiscal battle lines formed Wednesday even before Mayor Linda M. Tyer presented her $151 million fiscal 2017 budget plan to the City Council.
Councilor Kathleen Amuso proposed cutting $3.2 million from the mayor's operating budget before it had been formally presented during a special noontime council session. That proposal — along with a similar motion from Amuso to cut $2 million from Tyer's proposed $11.9 million capital projects budget — was voted down.
Amuso and Councilor Anthony Simonelli backed the reductions, while Councilors John Krol, Peter White, Christopher Connell and Council President Peter Marchetti opposed any changes prior to the council budget hearings to review the mayor's spending plan, beginning June 13.
Councilors Melissa Mazzeo, Kevin Morandi and Lisa Tully did not attend the meeting.
"I want everyone to know where I'm coming from," Amuso said, echoing earlier comments that she believes annual budget increases can no longer be supported in light of fiscal and economic challenges facing Pittsfield.
However, Krol and White said that, if cuts are to be made, they should only be considered after the mayor and department heads have a chance to present the budget details.
"I don't believe we should be cutting the mayor's budget before it is presented," Krol said.
"We have only had this for seven minutes," said White.
Marchetti said the city government charter requires a timetable for considering the budget, which is set in motion only when the mayor presents a budget to the council.
"We can't start debating until we have a budget," he said.
Simonelli told Amuso, "I tend to agree ... I wouldn't have a problem with it [the reductions]."
He noted that the council could only reduce the bottom line figure, not individual line items, but Amuso said her intention is to ask the mayor to send the budgets back to department heads and have them return with reductions.
"I think there are a couple of departments that could do that; it would be painful, I know," Amuso said.
Councilor Christopher Connell voted against Amuso's motion but said, "I hear you," before adding that it was not yet time to discuss budget changes.
In giving a brief overview of the plan, Tyer said the overall budget is up by 4.2 percent, or just over $6 million from the current operating budget of $145.2 million.
The School Department budget is proposed at $60.3 million, up $1.8 million, or 3.1 percent, from the current budget of $58.5 million. The figure is the bottom line amount approved in May by the School Committee.
During an interview following the meeting, Tyer and city Director of Finance Matthew Kerwood said the local tax levy — not counting state aid or other revenue — is proposed at $81.3 million, up from the current $76.8 million, for an increase of $4.6 million, or 5.9 percent.
Kerwood said the city side increases are focused mostly on the Police Department, increasing by $936,208, the Fire Department, up $294,223, and the Department of Public Services, up $353,507.
In light of a rash of recent incidents involving gunshots, the mayor last week held a news conference with city and public safety officials to announce a major increase in staffing and equipment for the PPD.
All other city department budgets are up or down from the current year by less than 2 percent.
Kerwood said the estimated tax increase over the current year would require a rate of $24.28 per $1,000 of property valuation, if a single rate for all property is used, up from $22.97 per $1,000 this year.
The mayor estimated the new rate would mean a tax bill increase of about $230 for the single-family home of average value, based on a single tax rate. The city uses separate tax rates for commercial and residential property, but the final determination on that ratio for the fiscal 2017 tax rate won't be decided until November.
In other notes included by Tyer in her budget cover letter, she said that among cost drivers are a $1.3 million hike in health insurance costs; $329,049 more for a health insurance mitigation fund that protects employees from increases in their share of premiums during a current contract for health insurance; $521,833 in increased employee retirement costs, and $489,349 in increased long-term debt principal payments.
Kerwood said following the meeting that the increase of $1.3 million in health insurance costs still reflects about a $1 million savings over the estimated cost under the city's previous insurance contract, which expired July 1, 2015. The current contract with the Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association for Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans is for three years.
The budget also proposes using $2 million from certified free cash to offset the tax rate.
Within her capital projects budget of $11,948,000, Tyer is proposing:
• Street improvements totaling $2.5 million
• $2.6 million for Pittsfield Municipal Airport runway improvements (a project to receive federal and state funding)
• A total of $570,000 for 10 itemized school repair projects or maintenance upgrades
• $250,000 for site analysis and design for a new police headquarters building
• A total of $378,000 for police equipment, including $200,000 for radio replacement
• For the Fire Department, $600,000 for a new ladder truck, $105,000 for two command staff vehicles and $70,000 for fire equipment replacements
• $3.55 million for sewer collection system improvements
Tyer said her budget plan "is fundamental to ensuring that our city has the services it needs to raise property values, to keep educational standards at a premium, and to make public safety priority No. 1. The actions we take today will yield steady returns toward the city's long-term fiscal investments. I look forward to a robust discussion about community priorities and the ways in which we fund those programs and services that citizens expect and deserve."
The mayor said she also is exploring strategic options beyond fiscal 2017 to control costs, manage debt obligations, develop improved budget formats and long-term spending plans, and possibly combine information technology departments and merge school and city building maintenance personnel.
Marchetti has set the council's budget review sessions for June 13 at 7 p.m. for opening remarks by Tyer, an overview by Kerwood and consideration of the first eight departments.
Subsequent sessions beginning at 6 p.m. are scheduled for June 16, 20, 22 and 23, all in council chambers at City Hall.

|Reviews for This Modern Love
| ObscuraDemon chapter 5 . 11/13/2012
Fuck... I read waaaaay to much Soren/Ike stuff. But it's just so fucking adorable. This was cute. Good Job.
| fire phoenixia chapter 6 . 5/2/2012
You have to write more Ike/Soren. You just have to. :)
| Sarcism chapter 2 . 8/12/2011
"Well, since the previous dates with Elincia, Lethe, Marcia, Aimee, and Mia didn't go anywhere, I thought we'd try something different."
"Mia chose this choice time to actually be on time for once. Soren wasn't sure if he was relieved for this or not.
"Morning, Soren and – oooh, who is this? He's dreamy.""
She wouldn't need to ask if she had already gone on a date with him :P Just thought I should point that out to you. I may have missed out on something, so I can't say for certain if this was an intentional error, though!
| sychopenguin5 chapter 6 . 4/11/2011
Teehee, i love that Ike & Soren went on a Renn Faire date. I 3 Renn Faires!
Love how you slipped little hints of canon into your alternate universe, like the boys' outfits at Renn Faire and ESPECIALLY that Ike and Mia are both swordfighters! I also 3 swordfighting! (I have been know to show very marked similarities to Ike.)
I agree with Mia; lack of "a mid-library shirtless men wrestling fest" is most definitely a travesty!
| nijibug chapter 6 . 1/31/2011
"He had a stackful of DVDs, which meant the horror had started – he was going on a Meg Ryan Romantic Comedy binge."
Ahaha, I can always count on coming back to this fic to cheer me up! :]
Awww, and Ike & Soren watching Princess Bridge!
Hehe, the Goldoan Takeout was a nice touch too.
| PINKDIAMOND4000 chapter 6 . 11/8/2010
awww it's over? nuuu! it was so beautiful! and seriously Ranulf is awsome! ahahahahh your fic is so cute I love it!
| PINKDIAMOND4000 chapter 5 . 11/8/2010
awwww so cute! Finally they are together!
| PINKDIAMOND4000 chapter 4 . 11/8/2010
Poor Soren he's afriad of the darneks D:
| PINKDIAMOND4000 chapter 3 . 11/7/2010
ahahah Ranulf is awsome! lol! poor Soren! XD is odvious Hearter is the thief XD
| PINKDIAMOND4000 chapter 2 . 11/7/2010
ahahah Heather thinks that Soren is asexual? O.o or secretly a girl? ahahahah Rofl! XD
| PINKDIAMOND4000 chapter 1 . 11/7/2010
ahahahah I just love Ranulf he's playing the match maker XDD
| WET NOODLES chapter 6 . 10/22/2010
This story somehow managed to feature a Soren who
a. I would probably find completely insufferable in person, and
b. Who I can totally sympathize with
... so that's quite a feat. I think it's because you did a good job touching on how an extreme introvert justifies their neurosis, cognitive dissonance, etc, so it's a lot more thorough with his character; basically easier to relate with than "uke-fied Soren #138 says something sarcastic and then melts in Ike's arms".
If that makes any sense I guess? I enjoyed it, anyway.
| mikado chapter 6 . 10/8/2010
;_; absolutely beautiful.
| ej8012 chapter 4 . 10/6/2010
What can I say that I haven't already? Wonderfully written, the plot is better then many I've seen, and everyone seems to be pretty IC.
Pity its only six chapters so far, though they're long enough to keep me satisfied XD
I'm enjoying the small little 'flashbacks' that Soren is having; they add to the story.
Again, very good job.
| ej8012 chapter 1 . 10/6/2010
Exceptionally (did I spell that right?) well written; the first section had me hooked. While FE is full of Au fics (not to mention Soren/Ike ones), this one manages to pull is off with a different and interesting plot and well-written characters.
All the characters appear to be in character, something always hard to do with Au fics, so good job on that. I can't help but laugh at the idea of Ranulf setting Ike and Soren up on a date- with blackmail at that.
I've already mentioned this but the plot seems to be solid and has room to grow and continue. And, again, you had me hooked at the first section.


text: All, I am posting to this forum looking for sincere advice and information from a professional body. I say upfront that I am an unlicensed flyer but am hoping that you will still read below, and perhaps offer me and others like me tangible and practical advice. I am a professional videographer of 30 years and a UAV pilot for 5 years without incident. I use my inspire to add big production values to my projects and now have begun earning good money helping others. 100% of my aerial work keeps me WELL below 400 ft in fact I spend 90% of my time between 20ft and 80ft. I have a preflight check list that I made my self based on common sense and torture my clients with my preflight lectures on safety and rules. i.e. I only fly in winds below 8 knots, to 50% of battery, line of sight, etc. Its a full one page check list. I get $750 for 4 hours and I work 2 - 3 times a month as a supplement to my full-time videography work. Like most of us it started as a hobby but now that I am working commercially I realize that I am outside of the law. And before you hate me, there are no 333 exempt companies or pilots anywhere near me so I don't compete with anyone that has gone to the trouble or expense. That said, I am a licensed driver, I own hand guns and have a permit and have taken countless safety courses. Good lord I even took safety courses for boating and my quad. I am not boasting, I just want to convey that I am a stickler on being on the up and up. Now my long awaited question. I have saved the money ($3,500) and am about to engage a very reputable firm to get my #333 exemption. A) for the legal aspect and B) I believe that advertising as a fully insured, FAA compliant vendor will be very appealing to legit businesses and will virtually crush the illegal competition. So what's the problem? I have the cash and perhaps the time, but absolutely no interest whatsoever in becoming a licensed pilot! nor do I believe it relevant. Ground school and aviation education absolutely! but learning to fly a plane before you can operate a small quadcopter is neither safe or relevant to the end goal. That said it is my understanding that the 333 is totally useless to me (other than marketing) if I am not a licensed pilot. Is this true? and if so do any of you think that there will be a meaningful change that will allow and encourage otherwise safe and conscientious UAV pilots to operate safely within the law? Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope that I did not overstep by posting in your Professionally Certified Forum. I hold you guys in the highest respect! ~ R

UFV is best known for its small class sizes and dedicated instructors.
In smaller classes, you are more likely to get face time with your professors — both during class and office hours. Small classes allow you to participate in lively discussions, receive help, practice skills, ask questions, and be as successful as you can be at university.
You also have the opportunity to engage in research at the undergraduate level in fields such as molecular science, human performance, criminal justice, sustainability and agriculture. This type of experience gives you an edge when applying to competitive graduate schools and can help you fast-track your career.
UFV was my second start. When I started, I only planned on staying the bare minimum for an accounting certificate. But I've transferred to the Bachelor degree in Business Administration program because I found that this environment is a good fit for me.
