Obama seems to be setting the U.S. up for failure in the fight against ISIS.
Liberals completely misunderstood Donald Trump's point when he blasted Obama as the "founder of ISIS." No idiots – he didn't mean literally. I think everyone is aware that Obama in fact, did not meet with a group of jihadists one day and decide to create the Islamic State.
What Trump did mean is that Obama fostered an environment that allowed for ISIS to rise, primarily by pulling troops out of Iraq. Does anyone really think that it's a coincidence that ISIS began to rise right as we reduced our presence in the Middle East? This is yet another blunder of Obama's that he can't blame on George W. Bush.
We're barely fighting ISIS with boots on the ground, instead mainly fighting them with airstrikes. Going to fight an enemy with almost exclusively airstrikes seems to be like saying "we're going to war – but we're going to completely half-ass it." Not only that, Obama blocks 75% of airstrikes against ISIS. The justification for blocking airstrikes is to avoid civilian causalities, but airstrikes kill less civilians per enemy combatant than boots on the ground do. If anything, he should be liberal in his use of airstrikes.
Now, as his failed foreign policy against ISIS continues into his final year in officer, we may have just lost a top military commander.
The Islamic State is claiming they have assassinated a top U.S. military commander in Kabul.
In a statement released by the group's Amaq News Agency, it says it has killed the commander with an explosive device. They're claiming two other Afghan officers were also killed.
NATO officials are denying the claim, saying nobody has been killed under their command.
Their statement said: "There is no truth to any claims that a U.S. military commander was killed in today's Kabul explosion, several ANA members were wounded only," The Mirror is reporting.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred near the U.S. Embassy and the country's courthouse. Their news agency claims they used a "sticky bomb" to carry out the assassination. "Sticky bombs" are magnetic explosives that stick to the underside of cars.
Separately, authorities on Monday confirmed the Taliban have overrun a police headquarters in the Dahna-e-Ghori district in northern Baghlan province.
To two terror groups are claiming credit for the attacks – ISIS and the Taliban. The two groups had previously been fighting with one another, but since aligned until U.S. forces were driven out of Afghanistan.
Once Donald Trump is President, we'll be driving them out of Afghanistan first.

Question: Testing athletes for illegal steroid use is becoming more sophisticated
Testing athletes for illegal steroid use is becoming more sophisticated. (For example, see New Designer Steroid Detected A mong Top A thletes , pbs.org/newshour.) Suppose testing Olympic athletes involves three independent laboratories. Each specimen submitted by an athlete is separated into three parts and each part is sent to one of the laboratories. If an athlete is using steroids, each laboratory is 95% likely to detect the presence of the banned substance. How likely is it that the athlete can escape detection?

You can experience downtown Apalachicola and the beautiful Apalachicola River from your windows or walk out the door and step into the shops, art galleries and restaurants of this quaint historic fishing village.
Take an estuary tour or spend the day fishing with one of the experienced guides either on the Apalachicola River or in the beautiful gulf waters. Bike ride, dine at one of the excellent restaurants, beachcomb on lovely St. George Island, or just relax.
Don't miss any of the great events in Apalach: Art & Wine Walk, Florida Seafood Festival, Antique Boat Show, Oyster Cook-off, Oyster Roast, the list is endless....
Keywords: Downtown Flat, Downtown Apartment
We had a great time staying in this apartment for 2 weeks. It was in downtown and within walking distance to everything. The apartment was spacious and cozy. Erika was available to help with whatever we needed. We would be happy to stay there again.
We visit the forgotten coast yearly, and have fallen in love with this adorable condo. It is in the center of the town, which make it very easy to walk to night life, great restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, etc. The condo is very clean and the customer service is excellent. They go above and beyond to make it a great stay.
We will return undoubtedly.
We stayed in Apalachicola for four wonderful days. Having never been there before, we were somewhat surprised at the size of the town. It is very small and walking to everything is possible. We didnt use our car but once during our stay. It was wonderful! A working fishing village on a beautiful river and bay!
The apartment was in a great location in the middle of everything! It was an upstairs unit where the door to the outside didn't lock. This made my daughter and I rather nervous everytime we came up the stairs. It may not be a problem if the stairs were straight up to the apartment but they turn and go up about five more stairs before you enter the apartment. On top of that the apartment door needs a new lock. It is almost impossible to get into the apartment until you have tried five or six times. Locks are cheap so PLEASE get a new one for your guest.
Once you get into the apartment you will be pleasantly surprised by it's size and cleanliness. This is a very old building so you expect some wear and tear and that is OK! All rooms have very high ceilings and lots of large windows. The furniture fits the date of the apartment. Everything you could want is in the kitchen.
The large bedroom has a comfortable king bed and a nice size attached bath. The window shades are very old and will not go up. This room NEEDS better shades or heavy curtains for sleeping. This room is not dark at night.
The small bedroom is very small but workable. The bed is TERRIBLE! You can feel the Springs inside the mattress. Needs a box spring and mattress. Attached bath was small but good.
Every window needs replacing with quality glass. The road noise is very loud. I wore ear plugs to sleep. Highway 98 is one half block from the apartment so truck noise is very loud .
From my review it sounds like I hated the apartment. But just the opposite is true. I loved staying there and if the three things I addressed; mattress, windows and door locks were replaced, I would give it a 10.
Extremely easy to work with and straight forward with property details. Place is very clean and a great location.
Thank you Kay. We enjoyed our stay!
Located in the heart of Apalachicola, a block from the water, and walking distance from great restaurants, shops, and a brewery! This immaculate apartment was perfect for our 5 day get-away! The kitchen was well equipped, the linens fresh and plentiful, and the wall art was in keeping with the location above a 100+ year old theatre. We loved everything about this rental and look forward to possibly returning in the future!

Hi Lars,
Thank you for suggesting/requesting. I will now forward this to our developers, hoping that they will consider this in future releases. FYI, we can't provide a time frame for this. But we will surely update you on this thread for any progress.
Thanks for the quick response! Look forward to hearing more :)
+1 for Insightly support!
+1 as well!
any updates on the insighly integration? It would be great to have this free CRM integrated! I saw one answer about webhooks but reading the page might as well be greek to me!
No update yet with regards on this feature. Don't worry, as soon as this feature implemented, we'll inform you immediately.
Thank you!
Thanks for the quick answer. I actually switched to Zoho when I saw that it integrated with that and am way more impressed with Zoho so will probably stick with that!
Any news?
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, no updates yet. I would also suggest creating your own request thread. Note that the more we forward request, the more the chances our developers will consider adding it to our future integrations list.
Any news yet this would be huge
JotForm Support Manager
I've sent a message to our devs so we can get an update about the plans to implement this.
desperately need this any updates?
+1 for insightly integration!
JotForm Support
We still do not have an update with this integration request, but Insightly is available in Zapier. So, you guys might consider using JotForm to Insightly via Zapier integration:
Zapier gives your customers the opportunity to use other form generators also. Insightly is no fly-by-night operation with millions of users now worldwide. I think you folks need to move this up the priority list, as this request is nearly 3 years old now!
In the meanwhile, I'll be recommending Jotform alternatives to my Insightly customers.
datadoit, so who do you recommend? what form company integrates directly with Insightly?
JotForm Support Manager
@DataDoIT and @ypollack16
I have increased the priority of this ticket hopefully this can be implemented soon.
I thought this integration was already done. I did a search and ran across this post. I am surprised. I have been using JotForms for most our dev client projects. We have been doing a lot more with CRM integration the last 6 months, and this would have really sealed the deal on several new customers for jotforms. I see this thread was updated a couple weeks ago. Please let me know if this feature makes it on the road-map. Till then I am going to assume it isn't planned and will look for other solutions.
I'm following this post, and I think we all are waiting for the integration. Let us know if the integration with Insightly is in the roadmap.
JotForm Support Manager
Unfortunately, our developers work on priorities, meaning that there are other features they are developing or fixing that need their attention, this is on a queue and with time it will be taken into a higher priority.
When this happens, then you all will get a notice on this thread.
JotForm Support
Hello Everyone,
You can now directly integrate Insightly and JotForm - update your Contacts, Leads, Organizations and Projects directly from your form.

Can XF increase the default invitee's for PC's from 5 please, as one example right now is that we are trying to invite those interested in a single sign-on solution into one PC, to discuss pricing, build, etc... yet we can't, as we're limited to 5, when there are more than this interested, all willing to chip in a bit to have an add-on built.
5 is a little limiting when trying to have development discussions and get further add-ons built for XF.
Could it please be increased to a more reasonable number to accommodate such discussions?
Even 10 would be nice... 5 is extremely limiting.

Everything you need for inspired computer-based music creativity.
Propellerhead Reason 3.0
Less Fuss, More Inspiration
As a Reason user, you can forget about the downsides of music production. Forget malfunctioning modules and confusing connections. Reason's cables don't tangle. Forget about tiny backlit displays and steep learning curves. Reason is so direct you'll learn it in minutes. And forget the tedious process of gathering all the different disks and sound banks needed to load up a song. With Reason, picking up where you left off be it last night or last month is as simple as turning the power on. When you save your music, your whole studio setup is stored along with it. You can even include your samples, loops and drum kits in the Reason file, for easy web publishing or email collaboration with other Reason users. For once, total recall is truly total. And so is the sound. The audio quality is everything you would expect from Propellerhead Software. But pristine sound quality is only half the story; the instruments and effects in Reason are loaded with character and attitude. Although easy to learn and a breeze to use, Reason is an extremely flexible system that's as complex and advanced as you make it. And with sophisticated tools such as the MClass mastering suite, or the Combinator, which lets you build new instruments and effects by combining and layering Reason devices, Reason will not just impress, but inspire you.Control Your Controls
Each unit in Reason's virtual rack is edited from its own on-screen front panel. All the sliders, knobs, buttons and functions are right in front of you, ready to be tweaked, turned and twisted in absolute real-time. And all your front panel actions filter adjustments, pitch bending, gain riding or panning can be recorded and automated in the Reason sequencer.Radical Routing
A single keypress will turn Reason's rack around, and there you are, in patch cord heaven. Most audio connections are made automatically. When a new device is created, it appears immediately below the currently selected device, and Reason patches it into the system in the most logical way. Repatch by dragging the patch cord plug to the desired connector, or just make a pop-up menu choice. Most devices have one or more parameters controlled by Gate and/or CV. And all instrument devices have several Gate or CV output options. Combine this with easy, transparent patching, and you have connection power approaching that of a fully modular synth.Need More Gear?
No problem. Choose a synth, a drum machine, a loop player or any device from the Create menu, and it will instantly appear in your rack, logically patched into the signal chain. And because Reason is designed to go easy on your computer, you can repeat the process until you're more than happy. If you ever wished you had eleven samplers and ten compressors, Reason is definitely for you. And if you have created more machines than you have mixer channels, just create another mixer. The studio of your dreams is just a few mouse clicks away.

Reviewed by 3 customers
Reason is great, no doubt about it. It's really versatile. It got a bad wrap for making songs sound distinctively "Reasoney" but everyone said my music didn't have that sound, so my only tip is to avoid all the presets on the synths, and then you should sound quite fresh. The only problems were that you have to record in another program, and it can't slice drum beats like most other programs nowadays can. It's not quite an all-in-one solution in that way - it should accompany ReCycle, also by Propellerhead, for slicing beats, and a multitrack recording program. Good luck! I highly recommend the program despite all that.. It's incredibly intuitive and easy to get used to, and you can easily set up hardware controllers to operate it.
This software is great. It has everything I need to make some great music. It contains drum patterns, synths etc. Great software. Everyone interested in the kind of music I play should get it.
This program is really all you need for making professional sounding beats. The new M-class mastering suite is a very powerful tool. The EQ device is one of my favorites. The new orkester sounds are great. It still has all the features of the old reason reverb, synths, vocodor. I recently upgraded to this version and for some reason the sound quality of this program is just better.

2005-04-27 at 10:40:00 am #9146Lexmark Misses Forecast, Stock Plummets
April 05NEW YORK-Lexmark International Inc. , the No. 2 U.S. printer
maker,on Tuesday posted quarterly profit that fell short of analysts'
expectations as the inkjet printer market entered a price war, sending its
shares to an 18-month low.
Lexmark's woes follow an effort earlier this year by market leader
Hewlett-Packard to win market share by cutting prices for its printers, one
analyst said.
"HP had (previously) said that they were going to be far more aggressive in
pricing. It appears to have played out in Lexmark's results and its guidance for
next quarter," Shannon Cross of Cross Research said.
Lexmark Chief Executive Paul Curlander said that inkjet printer prices fell
about 15 percent to 20 percent during the quarter on strategic price changes,
not just from HP, but also from Canon Inc. , Seiko Epson Corp. and Lexmark
"Its hard to say who fired the first shot, and it doesn't really matter," he
told Reuters in an interview. "The reality is that it is very difficult to get
any advantage if everybody (cuts prices), and any market share you think you
pick up really isn't sustainable."
Printer makers earn little or no profit from hardware sales. But increased
printer sales eventually lead to sales of ink and toner, which reap higher
profit margins that reoccur for years.
Lexmark's net income in the first quarter rose to $123.9 million, or 96 cents
a share, from $121 million, or 91 cents a share, a year earlier, fueled by
strong sales of replacement ink cartridges and laser printers. Revenue increased
to $1.36 billion from $1.26 billion, with supplies revenue up about 11 percent
and hardware up about 7 percent.
The results include one-time costs for probable losses related to accounts
receivable in Spain from 2002 to 2004 due to "inappropriate conduct" by a former
employee, and a tax benefit. Excluding these items, earnings per share would
have been 99 cents.
Analysts were expecting a profit of $1.02 a share on revenue of $1.37
billion, according to Reuters Estimates.
"The miss is notable given Lexmark typically sets the bar low enough to beat
numbers," Merrill Lynch analyst Steven Milunovich said in a note to clients.
Looking ahead, the Lexington, Kentucky-based company said it sees
second-quarter profit at $1.01 to $1.11 a share, with revenue growth up in the
mid single-digit range from $1.24 billion a year ago, while under continued
pricing pressure.
Analysts were expecting a profit in the second quarter of $1.11 a share on
revenue of $1.38 billion, which represents growth of about 11 percent, according
to Reuters Estimates.
Curlander said the company has abandoned an older strategy under which it
kept its prices less than those of HP.
"We gained a lot of share pricing under HP. I think that those days are
gone," he said earlier on a conference call with analysts. "Clearly we have to
remain price competitive, but we need to bring more value and ease of use to
(future models)."
Shares of Lexmark fell $11.10, or 14 percent, to $67.65 in afternoon trading
on the New York Stock Exchange.
The weak outlook also weighed on shares of HP and Dell Inc., which resells a
rebranded version of Lexmark's printers. HP shares fell 64 cents, or 3 percent,
to $20.46, while Dell's shares fell 90 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $35.81.
Separately, Lexmark's long-time Chief Financial Officer Gary Morin said he
will retire in the first quarter of 2006. A search for a new CFO is under

"Help from the Trauma unit"
About: The Royal London Hospital The Royal London Hospital E1 1BB
Posted by MJC
My husband suffered a serious fall and had a head wound. The ambulance brought us to A&E at Royal London Hospital where the staff were wonderful, all doctors, nurses and support staff were kind, efficient, friendly and helpful. They showed real concern for both of us and I was able to stay with my husband all the time, which was very comforting for both of us. He was very swiftly given x-rays and CT scans to be sure there were no broken bones or brain/spinal damage. He was helped to shower to get rid of the blood and then treated very gently as he was stitched up. As he had no other serious injuries, we were able to go home and the staff helped us get a cab. Thank God and the British public for the NHS and the wonderful staff at Royal London Hospital.
Response from The Royal London Hospital 3 years ago
Dear MJC Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback about the A&E service at The Royal London. Your comments have been passed to all of the team involved in your husband's care. They will be happy to hear of them. We hope your husband had a speedy recovery from his fall. Barts Health NHS Trust

Magnolia bark is a natural remedy said to offer a range of health benefits. Long used in traditional Chinese medicine, magnolia bark is sourced from Magnolia officinalis (a tree native to China). Magnolia bark contains honokiol, a natural compound that acts as a phytoestrogen.

Uses for Magnolia Bark

In alternative medicine, magnolia bark is said to aid in the treatment or prevention of the following health problems:

anxiety

asthma

bad breath

constipation

depression

headache

inflammation

menopausal symptoms

stroke

In addition, magnolia bark is said to promote sleep, support weight loss, stimulate the digestive system, protect against cancer, and reduce stress.

Health Benefits of Magnolia Bark

So far, research on the health effects of magnolia bark is limited. But there's some evidence that magnolia bark may offer certain benefits. Here's a look at several key findings from the available studies:

1) Menopausal Symptoms

Magnolia bark may help ease the symptoms associated with menopause, according to a study published in Minerva Ginecologica in 2006. For the study, 89 midlife women experiencing menopausal symptoms were assigned to 24 weeks of treatment with either a combination of calcium and vitamin D, or a supplement containing calcium and vitamin D, plus magnolia bark, soy, probiotics and magnesium.

Study results revealed that the supplement containing magnolia bark was more effective than the combination of calcium and vitamin D in relieving hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, depression, irritability, vagina dryness, and loss of libido. But it's not yet known whether magnolia bark on its own might have a significant benefit in relieving symptoms associated with menopause.

2) Depression

Preliminary research suggests that magnolia bark may aid in treatment of depression. In a 2009 study published in Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry, for instance, tests on mice found that a combination of magnolia bark extract and essential oil of ginger produced anti-depressant effects by moderating abnormalities in certain brain chemicals.

3) Anxiety

Magnolia bark shows promise for anxiety relief, according to a 1999 study published in the Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology. In tests on mice, scientists determined that honokiol extracted from magnolia bark may help reduce anxiety without triggering the side effects associated with diazepam (a drug commonly used in the treatment of anxiety disorders).

4) Bad Breath

Magnolia bark may help fight bad breath, suggests a small study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2007. For the study, nine healthy volunteers were given either Listerine mouthwash or a mint containing magnolia bark after eating lunch. Tests on saliva samples showed that magnolia bark was effective in destroying several types of bacteria known to cause bad breath.

Caveats

Due to a lack of research, little is known about the safety of using magnolia bark. There's some concern that it may trigger certain side effects (such as nausea, headaches, and drowsiness).

It's important to keep in mind that supplements haven't been tested for safety and dietary supplements are largely unregulated. In some cases, the product may deliver doses that differ from the specified amount for each herb. In other cases, the product may be contaminated with other substances such as metals. Also, the safety of supplements in pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, and those with medical conditions or who are taking medications has not been established.

Widely available for purchase online, supplements containing magnolia bark can be purchased at many natural-foods stores, drugstores, and stores specializing in dietary supplements.

Using Magnolia Bark for Health

Due to the limited research, it's too soon to recommend magnolia bark as a treatment for any condition. It's also important to note that self-treating a condition and avoiding or delaying standard care may have serious consequences. If you're considering using magnolia bark, make sure to consult your physician prior to starting your supplement regimen.

Time's Joe Klein Pats McCain on Back for Ignoring Rev. Wright
Don't get me wrong. I love Christmastime. But in many other respects it can be the most dreaded time of the year for us media watchers. It is, after all, the time when liberal journalists decide to assign their year-ending accolades on everything from movies and music to politicians.
It's doubly dreadful when we're talking about Time magazine's Joe "Anonymous" Klein.
In a December 17 piece doling out his "Teddy awards" -- as in the first President Roosevelt, not the lingerie -- Klein began by cooing sweet nothings over Obama's political courage before giving muted praised for McCain. When all was said and done, Klein even praised Condi Rice, but even that was in service of his left-wing affinity for negotiating with dictators. [for our archive of Klein bias, click here]
While Klein largely disdained the McCain campaign's post-Palin message, he cheered the Arizona Republican for keeping Rev. Jeremiah Wright off-limits:
And what of his opponent? John McCain is a charter Teddy Award winner, a former exemplar of free-range political candor. Not this year. He ran a dismal campaign that seems even smaller in retrospect. He spent almost all his energy trying to besmirch his opponent without offering a memorable new idea. Still, he deserves credit for two steps he didn't take: he did not play the race card by regurgitating the hateful sermons of Jeremiah Wright, Obama's former pastor; and he did not play the anti-immigrant card that might have appealed to frightened average Joes and assorted plumbers throughout the Rust Belt and the Midwest. McCain has sullied his reputation, though, which is a pity. (A parenthetical and auxiliary Teddy should go to Tina Fey, not for courage so much as truth through hilarity: she nailed the absurdity of McCain's vice-presidential pick--the worst political decision of the year.)
Klein did give one Bush administration officials kudos, but the underlying policy question involved conservative concerns over Bush and Rice going too soft on North Korean nuclear blackmail artist/dictator Kim Jong-il:
There is no telling what sort of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice might have been in another Administration, but she deserves a going-away Teddy for standing up to Vice President Dick Cheney, especially when she defended her excellent North Korea negotiator, Christopher Hill.

The Swiss giant food company, Nestle', said it made a scientific discovery that will permit it to reduce sugar in its chocolate products without affecting their taste. The company, which manufactures Kitkat and Aero, said its researchers found a way to restructure sugar in different ways and use 40 per cent less.
Nestle' added that it will retain the rights of the discovery and will start using the new sugar method in its products in 2018.
The company's scientists managed to restructure the sugar levels in a way they dissolve more rapidly.
The technical head of the company, Stefan Catsicas, described the new method as a "revolutionary research". It is difficult to generalize on the amount of sugar in chocolate as this varies from one product to another. However, in their majority, chocolate products contain 50 per cent sugar, some of which comes from the used milk. White chocolate may contain up to 60 per cent sugar.
Professor Julian Cooper, head of the Scientific Committee at the Food Science and Technology Institute, described the Nestle' development as important. "This is good science. Many people have been longing to reduce the amount of sugar".
However, he warned that this does not mean that people may eat more chocolate.

The End of the Second Act of Civic Tech
The world of civic tech has changed radically in the last few years. Many of the old bastions of transparency and civic innovation have started to crumble, shrinking dramatically in both size and scope. It's clear that the future of civic tech will appear radically different – moving out from under the umbrellas of sprawling nonprofit organizations and back into smaller, focused efforts. Below, I discuss what we're currently seeing today, and what will need to be done in the future for us to continue our work effectively.Read More »
What I Wish I Had Known About Decoding The Law
After a little over three years of working on The State Decoded (and a bit less than that on Madison), I've learned quite a few things about the law. The process of translating legal code into machine-readable data is not an easy one, but after thousands of hours working on this problem we've made some […]Read More »
Bootstrap Sass with rem instead of px for Vertical Typographical Rhythm
A huge number of sites use Bootstrap as a css framework these days. Using Bootstrap is even easier with the bootstrap-sass package, which uses SASS to allow developers to customize nearly every aspect of the framework. Unfortunately, the current version doesn't support units other than pixels (px), so using percent, ems, or rems isn't easy. […]Read More »

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/7/2014 (1120 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Winnipeg woman is recovering from a sexual assault that occurred Tuesday night in St. James.
Police say the woman was walking in the 100 block of Athlone Drive around 11:20 p.m. when a man came up behind her and sexually assaulted her. The woman screamed and the attacker fled.
She wasn't seriously injured.
Investigators have a description of the man they're looking for: about 20 to 30 years old, with a thin, athletic build, wearing a dark jacket, dark pants, dark tuque and dark mittens.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact police at 204-986-2877 or CrimeStoppers at 786-TIPS (8477).

"In the business jet segment, not counting the early models of the CRJ, the CF34-3 is used exclusively on the Bombardier Challenger and there are approximately 1,900 CF34-3 engines in service on that platform," Jennifer Ratica, marketing manager for GE's Business & General Aviation Services, told AIN.
Comlux has been a Bombardier approved facility since 2008.

So there is this girl I met 2 weeks ago.
For a week we seen each other everyday.
She did some stuff to show me that she enjoys, like canceling meeting with her friends/ ending her shift earlier to meet with me. And gave some sexual signs like showing me her Underwear(on her).
I was really into her and didn't wanna screw up so I told her:" I really like you and I want you, I'm telling you Because I didn't wanna ruin what we have with some act and I wanna hear your opinion..she said I have nothing to say then covered her face with both hands and told me lets talk about this 2marrow, next day we didn't call each other, day after that I tried to reach out by SMS and a call got nothing..as I started to accept that it's over she called me few days after my attempt, I was asleep and didn't answer as I woke up I tried calling-no answer, next day she called and asked me how I am and what I'm doing..I asked her if she wanna go out and grab a beer/coffee she told me no and that she doesn't wanna talk to me after what I said(wtf?why did you call then), a friend told me maybe she didn't understnd/wanted an opology so I smsed her:"sorry I screwed this up, I'm an idiot:) " she replied with a smiley.
Now she doesn't answer again..whats going on here?What should I do?
Really confused with her. What should I do?
So there is this girl I met 2 weeks ago.
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
This girl is not worth it. She never wanted something serious with you (not yet anyway). She obviously was physically attracted to you and all these things she did to attract you was her playing with fire - sexual chemistry. As soon as you told her you liked her and basically acknowledge the things you guys have been up to, she became distant because this was way to fast for her and acknowledging the things going on in this case, totally put out the fire and she lost the special attraction for you. This is all her own fault for leading you on. What did she expect?

why i choose austraila
do you want to own a business in australia, if you do you must speak the propper language. theres no officail lanuage in australia but the most common on is english.you should own a restarunt because,Australians are very fond of red meat, and they are equally as fond of the barbecues, needing no excuse to fire it up and have some friends round for a beer. You'll find a lot of beef and lamb sizzling away, as well as pork sausages. Chicken and fish are also popular, as well as more native foods like kangaroo and emu. Often, dishes are flavored with indigenous herbs and spices, which give imported recipes a local zing. so you should own a food business or you do something else that consumer really wants or need or instead you can invent something but, if you invent something someone parboly going to steal your idea and make something better.

Now we're firmly into autumn why not try this homely, comforting, very English-tasting casserole from my book Meat & Two Veg? Do try and find some proper 'dirty celery' with some soil still clinging to the stalks, if you can. It has so much more flavour
Few things cheer at this time of year. In the UK it's cold, grey and damp Time to head for the kitchen and knock up a rich beef stew or casserole and leave it simmering for hours.
A bit of a blast from the past, this. It comes from An Appetite for Ale, the beer and food book I wrote with my son Will at the time he owned a pub, the Marquess Tavern back in 2007.
Although we all talk turkey at Thanksgiving, in fact it's the sides that tend to steal the show. Finding a wine that can cope with them all is never easy but you may just find your favourite side or dressing can inspire your choice.
There was a time, about 10 years ago, when I wrote a lot about Merlot which was widely regarded as wine world's alternative to Chardonnay - an easy drinking red wine that went with almost any meal.
With Hallowe'en just a couple of weeks away here's a sophisticated supper for those of you who don't have to go out trick or treating . . .
I'm constantly amazed at the stream of good value reds that is coming out of Spain these days. Here's another - La Copa Tempranillo 2005 from the up and coming Campo de Borja wine region which is situated in Aragon to the north west of Zaragoza. It appears to be made by a co-operative, the Cooperative de Santo Cristo de Magallon but is none the worse for that.
Natasha Hughes re-orders her hit list of wine matches for pinot following her visit to the International Pinot Noir Celebration.
As it's both Bonfire Night and British Sausage Week this week there's a fair chance that you'll be eating bangers of some kind, so what's the best pairing?
If you haven't already made your plans for New Year's Eve why not invite over a few friends and treat them to a beer dinner instead of one based on wine? It's a great way to open their eyes to the great range of artisanal beers that are now available.
I always think it's misleading to describe pork as a 'white meat'. Strictly that's accurate, I suppose, but 'whiteness' somehow seems to suggest lack of flavour.
It might seem bizarre turning to an American cookbook for a classic French recipe but this version from the Balthazar Cookbook is hard to beat.
After the wild winds and lashing rain we've endured in the UK this week my drink of the week really had to be a full-bodied red and what better choice than a Malbec?
The weather has been so absurdly autumnal this week that I cooked a substantial stew for friends on Saturday night, an intensely flavoured braise of beef short ribs (or pot au feu as our local butcher describes them) with plenty of lush, red wine (a Valdivieso Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maipo Valley in Chile which is part of the Waitrose own label range).
Malbec is getting so popular it may have become one of your favourite reds but what are the best kind of dishes to eat with it?
It's true that lamb is one of the most wine-friendly of meats, as at home with red Bordeaux and Rioja as it is with the fruitier wines of the new world. But if you're looking for a spot-on match it's worth thinking just how - and for how long - you're going to cook it.
Like any other red South Africa's Pinotage comes in different styles - some lighter and fruitier than others. When you're matching it with food you take a cue from the sort of ingredients and dishes that go with its two ancestors - Pinot Noir and Cinsault.
Today is the third International Grenache Day, a celebration of a grape which is (often anonymously) responsible for some of the most generous and appealing reds in the wine world.
Last Friday I attended the Soil Association annual Organic Awards lunch at Bordeaux Quay in Bristol. The menu was based on the winning ingredients which in the case of the main course was Langley Chase organic mutton served with chard and spelt risotto.

Create Your Own Fight Scenario
This is not, I repeat not, a Versus Thread. In fact, let me say that in red: This is not a versus thread. You can create and detail a potential battle between 2 fan-favourite characters (like Tenten and Konohamaru), but the responses/discussion must not be centered on the feasibility of the fight (i.e. who would win, or why the fight is unlikely, etc), but rather the posters presentation of the fight (how realistic did the poster make the fight (mood, tone, overall presentation, etc)?; did they forget any relevant details?; could you see the fight happening the way described?; is there anything you think should be added or detracted from the fight (if you do not like how their fight turns out, write your own version)?; and overall, just critique the presentation). In many respects, this is a focused/specific fanfiction thread (as opposed to the general threads that currently exist), geared solely toward the construction of ideal epic battles, without needing any actual story or character development - focus on the battle scenario itself, do not care about trying to connect it to the actual story .
Additionally, while humour is more than acceptable, please try to create a battle you would like to see (without fear of worrying about creating an unnecessary versus discussion (which this thread is not)).
Added to that, this is not a manga thread, so use spoiler tags where appropriate. Additionally, this isn't an anime-only thread, so be prepared for some slight (unintentional) spoilage.
Additional Rule: Stay away from obvious battle scenarios -Sasuke v. Kakashi; Sasuke v. Naruto; Sasuke v. Madara; Naruto v. Kakashi; Naruto v. Madara; etc. Try and use the characters in unique and interesting ways (Neji v. Zetsu; Konan v. Tenten; etc).
Additional Rule: Do not rewrite story battles. Do not try and rewrite a major battle from the story (ex: Sakura v. Sasori). I doubt many people would do this, but just in case...These battles are over and done with, so there is no need to rehash actual storylines from the manga. Be original people.
Brief/Shitty Ex: I have always wanted to see a battle between the older generation of Konoha and Madara. (In many respects I consider Madara to be a problem of the older generation, or at least a problem left behind by the older generation. So, I have always desired for the older generation to be the ones to solve the problem.) Consequently, I've often imagined a situation where the heads of the big clans (in Konoha) would all band together in one fight against Madara, with Tsunade dealing the final blow. Inochi, Shikaku, and Shibi could use their various technique to keep Madara moving around the battlefield (and from fleeing), while Hiashi, Chouza, and Gai would use their extreme taijutsu to keep Madara fighting/occupied. Kakashi and Tsunade could then coordinate an effort at taking Madara down. Tsume can do something...urinate on Madara maybe...

I'm glad to see this thread finally up.
Here's my first one. It's about Zetsu and Kakashi.
I won't deny the slightly fangirlish decisions at times, and some of the names of the jutsus are made up (but I tried to be at least somewhat correct^^).
I hope it's readable and not too confusing.

Cool story, I didn't read the whole thing, but I liked what I did read, and the wide variety of colors you used was really appealing to my eyes. Overall I give it an A-. Keep up the good work

Well here is my story of a fights I could see happening. Zetsu vs. Neji. This is a fight I actually predicted early on...that and a Gai vs Kisame fight.
well that's my fight scenario... I wanted to add Shikamaru, but it was too troublesome : D

Thanks for the replies guys, and finally there's a second scenario.
Nice idea. I don't think Neji will become a character that important anymore. I would appreciate it though (I guess we all would). The only thing I'm wondering is, why Neji would go on finding Sasuke himself.
However, I like the matchup, especially because i can imagine them being on an equal level, and Hyuugas are always well suited for fighting tricky enemies, as we've already seen in the "Neji vs. Spiderguy"-fight.

Ohhh i kind of like these things. I'll give before hand a preview of the battle which is and going to be an epic battle beyond anything we've seen so far. The details will be behind the spoiler tag.
5 years after Naruto finally returned to Konoha (after the time-skip) alot of things happened.
Good and bad. The good things. The villages have together with the smaller ones united to get rid of the new treath which have been named "Nemesis" for obvious reasons. The bad news is that the bad guys have somewhat united Nemesis and Akatsuki aswell..that's right somewhat. That's what bad guys do.. one thing they have in common. They want Naruto!
For anime readers only it may seem very fictional but be warned..i'll add some (a little) manga contents so be advised to read at own risk... enjoy it

Top five reasons to be a student in the Waikato region
We asked fifth year student Shelby Wilson to tell us the top five things that she loves about living in the Waikato. Here's what she said:
- Waikato is the home of elite sport in New Zealand, so there are loads of different sports that we have access to. Being a student here means you can attend heaps of sporting events for free.
- We have a ton of beautiful native walks around lakes, mountains and in the bush. Going for a walk with friends is a really good way to spend the weekend.
- Raglan beach is right on our doorstep. There's heaps of options for things to do including surfing, swimming, surf lifesaving, walking tracks and water skiing. Plus the whole town of Raglan has a cool atmosphere and there are great food places there.
- We're pretty central in the Waikato. If you want to head to beaches, mountains or even big shopping centres we're only a short drive away and it's really fun to go on road trips with friends around the North Island.
- The university is a fun place to be. There are always heaps of events going on in Hamilton which are student orientated, fun, and give you an opportunity to socialise. The environment at Waikato uni is really friendly and comfortable

Power and Market: Government and the Economy
by Murray Rothbard
Publisher: Von Mises Institute 2007
Number of pages: 346
What can government do to enhance social and economic well being? Nothing, says Murray N. Rothbard. Power and Market contains the proof. It will inoculate the reader against the even the slightest temptation to invoke the state as a solution to any social or economic problem. It is ultimate manual for completely de-mystifying the myth of the state. The Rothbardian claim is perhaps the most radical made in the history of political economy.

Frank Ryan Catholic Intermediate
Grade 8 students at Frank Ryan Catholic Intermediate School were challenged to create bottle rockets using only reused and/or recycled materials. This meant that they had to think creatively about how to do this while still constructing a functional rocket. The students learned that sometimes things that appear to have outlived their usefulness can be reused for other purposes, and how this can benefit the environment.
The grade 7 students decided to conduct an experiment to test whether fish excrement could act as a fertilizer to grow plants. To do this, they placed plants atop a fish tank. The students learned about using environmental resources as opposed to wasting them, by realizing that fish excrement can be a useful tool for growing plants. They also learned how different parts of an ecosystem are interrelated and depend on each other.
Guardian Angels
This year at Guardian Angels School, the grade 6 students weeded and cleaned up the gardens in the fall in order to make way for the planting of a butterfly garden in the spring. Then the grades 3 and 6 classes watered and took care of the garden throughout the school year. The butterfly garden was also used as an outdoor learning centre for subjects such as soil analysis, leaf classification, plant needs and habitats for butterflies and insects. In addition, the entire school planted and took care of sunflowers all around the school yard!
Holy Cross
One day, noticing that their teacher constantly had to be reminded to shut down the SmartBoard projector, a student at Holy Cross School came up with a brilliant idea. The student suggested that a bright sign be posted on all classroom SmartBoards as a visual reminder to conserve energy. So this creative individual and a classmate dedicated time to visit each classroom as Environmental Ambassadors, in order to educate the school community about the new project. In all their presentations, the team made sure to stress the importance of conserving energy and always looking for ways to improve. The whole school was educated about the project, an email was circulated to staff and an announcement was made on the PA system by the principal to validate the initiative.
Holy Trinity High School
For the past five years, Holy Trinity High School has been participating in a reciprocal social justice experience in El Salvador. Students have an opportunity to immerse themselves in the day-to-day struggles of those who live in El Salvador, as well as see how actions taken in Canada can have a direct effect on people living so far away.
The students learn about the possible environmental consequences of Canadian mining in the community they visit, San Jose Las Flores. It is an eye-opening experience for them, as they see the direct impact of Canadian mining companies and practices on a tiny community thousands of kilometres away. They also visit a co-operative dried fruit processing factory in the town of Guarjila. This women's co-op provides steady work to the economically depressed, and is completely powered by solar panels. The students also hear about what it is like to work in a sweatshop, and learn the differences between that type of system and fair trade practices.
The student participants are transformed by their El Salvador Social Justice experience. As one student described it, "I don't know where to begin to explain how incredible this experience has been. I came into the country of El Salvador with an open mind and an open heart because I had no idea what to expect from this trip. Now, after being here for almost a week, I noticed how much this place has opened my soul… I will never forget all those wonderful, beautiful and spirited people of El Salvador. It is not only the people that have affected me greatly, but it is also the overall environment… One day as we struggled to hike up a mountain we saw an absolutely stunning view of El Salvador. The mountains on the horizon, the beautiful trees and agriculture – all were life changing in itself. This is why I'm determined to help raise awareness of the mining struggle. I want this place to remain beautiful for all people."
Monsignor Paul Baxter
This year at Monsignor Paul Baxter School, students and staff participated in National Sweater Day. They learned about the importance of saving energy, and how to use less heat during winter. Lowering heat, even by one or two degrees, also reduces gas emissions and pollution. They learned that energy conservation is the first step towards reducing reliance on non-renewable sources of energy like natural gas and coal.
Students and staff wore sweaters for two school days, February 6 and 7, to participate in the National Sweater Day sponsored by WWF. All students were encouraged to wear a sweater and sign their classroom pledge on one of those two days. The heat in the school was turned down by 2 degrees. EcoTeam members distributed and collected completed classroom pledges, and reinforced the motto, "Turn down the heat, Turn up your sweater: One or two degrees makes a difference."
Monsignor Paul Baxter students also learned a simple way of reusing a common plastic object to create mats for people in developing countries. They learned that with a little effort, the plastic from milk bags can be crocheted into mats, which are currently being shipped to countries like Tanzania and Guatemala, in order to provide washable, comfortable sleeping surfaces that are also bug repellent.
First, the students and teachers brought 2L milk bags from home. A group of staff members then supervised groups of EcoTeam students during lunch hours as they organized and flattened the bags. After that, they linked the cut strips and rolled them into balls of plastic yarn, which is sent to parent volunteers who crochet the mats. This well-received project is expected to be ongoing.
Sacred Heart High School
|At Sacred Heart High School, the entire school community takes part in their environmentally friendly initiatives. Every two weeks, a new class takes over the responsibilities of sorting and collecting the recycling in the cafeteria at lunch time. They even created a video about it!
|In addition, Mr. Byrne's Business Leadership class took a primary role in collecting and sorting the recycling every Friday. A representative from each class would bring down the recycling bins, and then Mr. Byrne's students would track it, ensure the bins weren't contaminated and then go through the bins to ensure everything was correctly sorted. They made a video about that too!
St. Mark, St. Francis Xavier, St. Joseph and All Saints High Schools
In 2013-14, a smaller group of 13 students (Grade 11 & Grade 12 Biology) from St. Mark, St. Francis Xavier, St. Joseph and All Saints were extremely busy with five full days of the Huntsman Marine Science Centre in St. Andrews, NB – pure, hands-on, experiential learning!
The students learned about factors that affect the growth of whale populations and various other species. They collected wild specimens on various beaches in and around St. Andrews, and then brought them back to the lab for physical analysis and response mechanisms. The critters were unharmed and put back safely into the wild. There were also many hikes, guest speakers, and visits to local fishing industries.
In addition, students learned about marine ecosystems and the biodiversity of marine environments. Students were exposed to fish farm techniques and learn about the future sustainability of the fishing industry for Eastern Canada. They are immersed in hands-on learning the entire trip.
The highlight of the trip is always the whale watch boat tour – the students saw whales two hours off the shore of Grand Manan Island, in the middle of the Bay of Fundy. They saw the endangered species of North Atlantic Right Whale, as well as Humpbacks and Porpoises. On the ferry ride over to Grand Manan, they even saw Finback Whales and Porpoises!

I never heard of this Dental office before, but hope it really works out for them this time. It would be nice to hear of more Dental offices like this that are affordable to families that have no dental coverage. I have tried finding help with dental for my children before with no help. Were not rich nor do we qualify for any type of assistance but it really sucks when you work and can't afford something like having your childrens teeth taken care of. When any teeth need pulled or filled it's always $200.00 who can afford that? I feel middle class income families do without alot of their needs because they just can't afford the high prices and it would be great if there was help for them, not just people who qualify for welfare.

This is great, nice hear positive things.... I just wish Akron would of given more money to you instead of moving an old building by the ABJ... 1 block! Sorry just had to get the dig in!

Alot of this problem would be eliminated if dental were part of medical plans. I don't understand why this hasn't happened yet because according to dental experts, dental disease if untreated, causes all kinds of major medical problems.
#13 Apr 3, 2008
Ya ok, someone is going to pay rediculous amounts of money every three months instead of the standard six months or more for a cleaning and or dental exam because they are lazy. One would have to either be a total moron or someone who doesn't go to the dentist theirself to not know why one would get their teeth cleaned every three months...hint number one, it ain't out of laziness.

There are actually several discount dental programs available. It is not insurance, but it does provide substantial savings at dentists that accept it. Just do a Google search for 'discount dental plans' and start comparing.

WAKE UP! UHC eventually will not pay for dental. We have one state here in the US that mandates health insurance for all. And guess what, after year TWO the projected surplus money will run out and premiums will need to rise. Families barely making ends meet are forced to pay for health insurance, and if not they are fined by the state. A double whammy, Thank you Democrats. And the families that can prove financial distress if they had to pay, well they don't need to buy into a plan. That means, once again, people are without health insurance. So much for government programs. The only way to get more affordable health plans is for the government to get OUT of health care. Let the free market force rates down, and insurance supppliers to get creative in policies. Your buddy Hillary was on the Wal-Mart board. Did she ever suggest providing decent benefits for the Wal-Mart employees? or did she just sit back and envision how the government could provide the benefits, allowing more profit to Wal-Mart ?????

Adam Crofts sent me a beat up copy of the Keane Brothers debut album from 1977 because it had skateboard on the cover. I listened to it, hoping that the song Keep On Rollin' was skateboard related, but it wasn't. The album is a truly awful mix of 70's disco, soul, rock, country and bubblegum. It's a freaking awesome train wreck. I noticed the producer also had the last name Keane, so I figured this was a showbiz father trying to get rich off his kids, and that this was probably the last time anyone ever heard of the Keane Brothers, if anyone ever heard of them at all. Of course I was wrong. The Keane Brothers had one of those variety shows that were all over the 70's like flies on shitty music, and they appeared on the Tonight Show and the Mike Douglas Show. On top of that, the opening sequence of their variety show prominently features the Keane brothers on skateboards.
These guys were 11 and 12 year old as they were starting to "make it." They wrote a lot of their own music and lyrics, and made some strange choices on this record. Singing about the "good ole days," wanting to boogie with the girls, and being chased by "the ugly one." And of course, "God Loves Little Girls." The Keane Brothers continued on in music into the 80's as a duo before separating and continuing to write and produce music.
Here's my copy of the record. Thanks Adam!
A pristine version of the cover from discogs.
It was actually re-released on CD in Japan (big surprise) and is quite rare.
Here's a video of the opening of the Kane Brothers Show that has the boys walking out of (presumably) their house and skateboarding down the streets of Hollywood to the television studio. The quality is crap because it is literally a video camera pointed at a TV, but it appears to be the only version out there.
Freakin Betty White on the Keane Brothers Show and "God Loves Little Girls." There's actually a few seconds of a girl riding a skateboard in this clip, but you can't see the skateboard because the shot is cropped.
Keane Brothers commercial.
Stills of hot, skateboarding action from the variety show. Who knows how long it will last on Youtube.
remember the CrackerJack commercial? i used to watch saturday morning cartoons just to see that kid ride that bowl…

Building Resilience in Norfolk, VA: Building Financial Security One Conversation at a Time
Sitting along 144 miles of coastline, Norfolk, VA is home to the largest naval station in the world and serves as the urban core of the metropolitan area of southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina known as Hampton Roads.
Over the past 400 years, Norfolk has survived wars, plagues, and natural disasters, forging a strong, adaptable population resilient to change. Today, severe coastal flooding, economic disparity between neighborhoods, and a transient military population continue to stress the city.
The fact that Norfolk derives its economic life from its position on the coast places it in a particularly precarious position: A large portion of its population is employed by a single industry.
With more than 8,000 service members transitioning in and out of the military annually, the Department of Defense supports 40 percent of total regional employment — posing a significant risk to residents who need a diverse, vibrant economy to sustain themselves.
To overcome these challenges, Norfolk applied to the 100 Resilient Cities network in October 2015 and appointed Christine Morris as its first Chief Resilience Officer. Morris leads the city's resilience efforts and launched Norfolk's Resilience Strategy to tackle risks directly and collaboratively.
The strategy focuses on designing the coastal city of the future, creating economic opportunity independent of federal funding, and advancing initiatives that connect communities while reducing poverty.
To achieve those goals, Norfolk partnered with Cities of Service. One of 10 cities selected to participate in the Cities of Service Resilience AmeriCorps program, Norfolk received two AmeriCorps VISTAs to embed in city hall as full-time resilience staff as well as financial and technical support to implement initiatives that advance the Resilience Strategy.
Among Norfolk's multi-pronged strategy, one initiative has seen early success.
With 11.4 percent of residents without a bank account and 27.5 percent without sufficient banking services, Norfolk launched Bank On in January 2016. Inspired by Bank On Virginia Beach and part of the Bank On Hampton Roads collective, the initiative is headed by Susan Perry, who works with Morris to advance the city's poverty reduction plan.
When an emergency arrives, people living paycheck-to-paycheck often lack the savings needed to cover additional expenses, and payday lenders tend to prey upon that part of the population.
"What we're trying to do is break the cycle of payday lending and how that keeps people from being able to move forward. Growing the financial security of our residents increases the city's overall resilience," says Morris.
The 10-month course engages banking, insurance, accounting, and other financial industry professionals as volunteer coaches to provide comprehensive financial education and help participants reduce their barriers to banking.
By developing savings (for things like emergency funds), creating realistic financial plans, reducing debt, and improving credit scores, Bank On participants are more prepared in the event of a disaster.
Norfolk trained two VISTAs, Pam Myers and Justin Burns, as Master Financial Education Volunteers and then embedded them in the Bank On program to serve as financial coaches alongside other volunteers.
While there are many coaches, the VISTAs bring something special to the program.
"That personal connection, we're finding, is really key. They serve as a motivator and a resource to help [participants] reach the goals they lay out for themselves," says Perry.
The program is not just about saving money. Norfolk is working to ensure citizens have the financial resilience to cope with whatever situation may arise. "When you're coaching somebody, you're letting them make the decisions. You're empowering them to make a difference in their own life," says Myers. The VISTAs bring a new enthusiasm to the city's poverty reduction initiatives.
"There's just a lot of this can do-spirit. I think the spirit is catching, and the VISTAs are a great addition to help us push that even further," adds Morris.
The first Bank On Norfolk cohort to complete the entire course graduated this past November with promising results.
"Prior to Bank On, my account was mostly in the negative. I've learned that with savings, I don't have to use credit anymore. I have a zero balance on my credit cards and about $4,000 in savings," says Patrick McMillian, a Bank On participant.
The participants from the first graduating class report an average increase of $3,858 in retirement savings and 56 points on their credit score while reducing their total debt by $15,207. In addition, the city connects graduates to other community resources, such as the Virginia Individual Development Accounts program, which supports individuals saving for a down payment on a home, business equipment, or post-secondary education.
In the future, the city plans to expand the program. "Now they know how to save. We're excited about the opportunity to build tracks so that folks can progress from one problem to the next and build their resiliency."
With a financially resilient population, Norfolk is ready for another 400 years as a thriving metropolitan hub.
Cities of Service's work is made possible with generous funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies. Resilience AmeriCorps is supported by The Rockefeller Foundation, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and Walmart Foundation.
