MAX is all geared up for the forthcoming MAX Stardust Awards, which will premier on the Hindi movie channel of the SET bouquet. The show will be telecast on January 28, and the channel is preceding this with marketing efforts. Kenstar has been roped in as the title sponsor.
Albert Almeida, Executive VP and Business Head, MAX, said, "MAX has always brought its viewers some of the most glamorous, high-energy entertaining events from the world of movies. MAX became the first Hindi movie channel to be associated with such a prestigious movies awards show. With the MAX Stardust Awards, viewers can be sure they will be treated to an experience that will be true to MAX's promise – Deewana bana de."
The idea behind the 'MAX Stardust Awards' is to establish it as an event that reflects the edginess and irreverence that has become synonymous with young Bollywood. The event will also rise to become one of the industry's most high-profile events garnering tremendous press coverage and attracting some of the biggest names in the industry, from established stars to the new breed of talent.
The programme highlights will include a lot more than just the handing over of awards. There will be a series of specially devised entertainment acts, including song and dance performances by leading stars.

In New York, top officials help launch a comprehensive new report about the countries on the front lines of climate change.

EA Sports used the critically-acclaimed "Fight Night Round 4" engine to simulate the results of the upcoming fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. And according to the sim, it looks like Pac-Man fans are going to be in for a treat.
Here's how EA Sports predicts the fight playing out:
"Cotto's defensive prowess and methodical approach to attacking Pacquiao's body kept the opening rounds extremely close. As the fight approached the middle rounds, Manny countered Cotto's strategy with his blinding speed, keeping out of range and forcing Cotto to keep moving forward. Forced out of his defensive strategy Cotto leaves himself open and Manny takes advantage by raining down quick combos while maintaining his range. The combos begin to take their toll on Cotto as the fight approaches Round 8, as he is bleeding and visibly slowing down. Cotto continues to attempt to pressure the body, but the damage he has taken throughout the fight slows him down so much that he can't get close to Pacquiao. Manny, who seems as fresh as when he started the fight, sends Cotto to the mat with a weaving left hook at the end of the 10th. Despite beating the count, Cotto is never able to recover and loses the bout by unanimous decision."

Kerri Shadid - Artist in Residence
Skirvin Hilton Artist in Residence
The Skirvin Hilton in partnership with the Paseo Arts Association has chosen Kerri Shadid as its featured Artist in Residence.
As the Skirvin Hilton's Artist in Residence, Kerri's live studio space is open to hotel guests and visitors. The Artist-in-Residence program encourages the public to interact with Oklahoma artists and witness the evolution of each art piece first-hand, while supporting the artists' work and talent.
Kerri is a fulltime poet and visual artist as she writes spontaneous poems for visitors at events and festivals. Kerri also practices process oriented art forms such as marbling, handmade books and book binding. As one of our featured Oklahoma City artists, Kerri hopes to expand the complexity of her hand made books. This includes Japanese Stab and multi-folio binding, each of which are visually engaging and rarely practiced.
Kerri makes art to free life from the fear of death and is in love with existence and attempting to make peace with non-existence. Art has taught Kerri how to accept, even embrace, our absurd human condition. Her work contains elements of magical realism, the surreal, and wabi sabi, a Japanese tradition celebrating the transient and flawed. This is most evident in her performance art, Poetry Stand, where she writes spontaneous, whimsical poems for the public. In her visual art Kerri paints with words. The aesthetics of words and voice are key in her work, how language and poetry make our existence artistic. The themes in her work are often philosophical or psychological, tiny revelations toward awakening.
Kerri received BAs in Letters and Political Science from the University of Oklahoma, studied international relations as a Fulbright Grant Student at McGill University in Montreal and received her MA in the Humanities and Social Thought from New York University.
For more information on her work, please visit Kerri's website at www.kerrishadid.com.

The Space Shuttle Columbia Crisis refers to the time period of February 2003, in which seven astronauts aboard Space Shuttle Columbia were stranded in space. A joint American-Soviet mission was held in order to rescue the astronauts, and bring Columbia back to Earth. The ensuing rescue mission was dubbed the "most dangerous rescue mission in all recorded history." The mission brought to light the risk of space travel that had not been felt since Apollo 13 in April 1970.
The Space Shuttle Columbia crisis refers javascript:void('Visual')to an incident taking place on January 16, 2003, during the takeoff of Space Shuttle Columbia, in which a piece of insulation foam strikes the left wing, damaging the heat shield of the shuttle. Confirmation of the damage took place on January 30, in which mission specialist Kalpana Chawla performed a spacewalk to the wing. On January 31, NASA announced that damage has struck Columbia and that for the safety of the seven astronauts, the landing of the shuttle on February 1 was postponed.
Though the astronauts had enough water, food, and power to last about a month, NASA proposed having a docking between Columbia and shuttle Atlantis. However, Atlantis was not ready for a launch for about a month. In response to the stranded astronauts, Soviet President Nikolai Ryzhkov and top commanders of SAKA proposed the services of Buran Groza (which was scheduled for a mission to the ISS on February 7). On schedule, Groza takes off from Baikonur Cosmodrome, with cosmonauts Yury Usachov and Nikolai Budarin. NASA also requested a load of food, water and supplies to go up to Columbia. Groza makes contact with Columbia on February 10, and the first docking of two shuttles (American and/or Soviet) takes place.
The first EVA between two shuttles takes place on February 11, in which astronauts Laurel Clark, Michael Anderson, Ilan Ramon, and Kalpana Chawla cross into space and board Groza. Due to limited room on the shuttles, Commander Rick Husband, David Brown and William McCool remain on board Columbia until Atlantis can come to retrieve them in March. On February 16, 2003, Groza touches down at Baikonur, with two cosmonauts and four astronauts safely landing on Earth.
Weeks later, Atlantis makes a second docking with Columbia, evacuating the remaining astronauts on board. The repairs of Columbia take place the following year, in which NASA engineers train astronauts to repair the damaged wing in the vacuum of space. Columbia would safely return to Earth on April 20, 2005.

Kajal Aggarwal's silhouette is to die for. It's proof of all the denial and discipline that's gone behind the curves. It's truly astounding how a foodie like her has kept tabs on her gourmet cravings. But in showbiz everything comes with a price. And the hottie knows it. But that has not stopped her from experimenting with local and global cuisine. In fact, she has the enthusiasm of a food adventurist when it comes to dissecting the spices and flavours of a place beginning from her mother's kitchen…
I'm a complete foodie. More so because I'm a true blue Punjabi! I love the staple rajma chawal, chhole-bature and parathas. My grandma, an amazing cook, ensures that parathas are served for breakfast every day, just like in any Punjabi home. I've grown up devouring indigenous Punjabi fare. I remember as a kid every Sunday would be special. Rajma chawal, paneer makhani and parathas was the must-haves. In fact, it was more of a sumptuous Sunday brunch with my cousins and members of the extended family pouring in. Every Sunday night we had to have pav bhaji, a tradition that still continues.
I used to be a non-vegetarian earlier but I've turned a pure vegetarian now. I realise vegetarian food agrees better with my system. Also, I'm not fussy about what I eat. I enjoy everything from karelas (bitter gourd) to kadhi chawal. When I binge, it has to be some super unhealthy stuff like pizza or paneer makkhani with dripping butter. Being calorie conscious today, I ask my mother to cook up her specialties with a healthy twist. Like, I substitute rice with quinoa and enjoy rajma with the healthy low-carb option.
When I'm shooting down South, I gorge on idlis and dosas. When I visit my cousin's home in Punjab, I go for the parathas, chhole bature and kulchas. When I happen to visit Kashmir, it's the yummy rajma chawal for me. Even though I'm adventurous with food, I have to stay disciplined and watch my diet. I live right across the famous Gaylord restaurant (Churchgate, Mumbai) which serves the world's best paneer makhani. Hot eating joints like Kamling (Chinese cuisine) and Sadguru (Mughali and Punjabi menu) are also nearby but sadly my strict diet rarely allows me to visit these places.
In Asian cuisine, I love Thai food. I can't resist the red and green curries. Instead of chicken satay, I now opt for paneer satay. The Pad Thai noodles (stir fry rice and noodle dish) and coconut based gravies are yummy. In Japanese cuisine, sushi tops my list. I devour Vietnamese food. Vietnamese recipes use fresh ingredients like lemongrass, ginger, mint, coriander and basil leaves and minimum oil. In Italian food, like for most people, I love pizza.
When I visited Spain I tried the patatas bravas (fried potatoes with sauce). In Italy, I tried some interesting cocktails. The coolest cuisine I've enjoyed recently is the Eritrean cuisine (the traditional food is tsebhi or stew, served with injera or flatbread made from wheat and hilbet, a paste made from legumes and beans), which originates from Africa. It is similar to Indian food. They have spicy gravies and bread, which resembles our rumali roti. I dig Balanese (from the island of Bali, it has influences of Indonesian, Chinese and Indian cuisine) food too. In Europe, London is my favourite food destination as it lays bare diverse cuisines. In the USA, San Francisco offers a diet high on raw vegetables, which is healthy. Apart from all this, my all-time favourites would be Edamame (boiled green fruit soybeans in the pod served in Taiwan, Indonesian and Hawaii cuisine) and chocolate dumplings from Yauatcha in Mumbai.
Sweets is my only indulgence and chocolates my weakness. It's difficult to control my cravings for strawberries and mangoes too. I eat two-three mangoes a day during the season. Strawberries are not so high on calories but mangoes are. But they are healthy substitutes for sweets. I love desserts like crème brûlée, tiramisu and chocolate gateaux. My mom is a confectioner and bakes the most divine chocolate cakes and fresh fruit cakes.
I find cooking therapeutic though I enjoy baking more. I'm a decent cook. But I have to control my desires given the profession I am in. The tussle gets frustrating at times. But I need to maintain discipline and remember the end goal. It's easy to indulge and give into cravings. But that won't work. I admire people in the industry who are far more conscious than I am. I do end up eating the stuff that I am not supposed to. But I will not give up on my goal, which is attaining the highest fitness level!

Not getting much sleep, I started to stress over — of all things — my thesis project, which I still have to write and present my proposal for.
In the past I have toyed with everything from trying to do a cartoon, to some sort of social networking tool that allows the user to create digital narratives, to building a weight loss community. I then had the idea of designing my own collaboration tool for working on large scale media projects (movies, commercials, videos, etc.). I got pretty excited, so I proposed this idea to a couple instructors.
I had a little time before shut down, so I powered through a quick bit of photo manipulation. The trick here is to make a digital photo look like it was done on a Lomo camera, and then cross color processed. I got a couple other pics that I think I will my hand at. … Continued

"I'm agnostic," Steve said, killing his can of cheap beer. I nodded, accepting, but the truth is I didn't know what he meant.
It was 1987, my first semester of varsity, a late night of watered-down beer and concentrated conversation.
At 18, I was an expert in two things: local sports and Roman Catholic doctrine. I'd spent 10 years as an altar boy and had an audience with Pope John Paul II. I could recite Sunday Mass start to finish without thinking.
My problem was, I could recite Sunday Mass without thinking. That's why I knew, in the dorm room with Steve, this was an important moment. So I asked, "What does agnostic mean?"
"It means I don't believe God exists but that I'm not certain he doesn't either," Steve said, nonchalantly.
It'd never occurred to me that not everyone believes in God. I looked at Steve in shock, half expecting him to burst into flames. He just smiled.
I wasn't born Catholic. I inherited my religion from my parents, much like my thin hair and thick fingernails. It's too easy, even as an adult, to mistake who you are for who others expect you to be. Steve challenged me to think – rationally –about my place in the universe and he taught me that a man must be brave enough to think for himself.
But you don't need to have all the answers. Whether it's an issue with your wife, your boss, or your god, sometimes you need to be comfortable not knowing – to be able to admit, "I'm agnostic".
– Bill Phillips, editor-in-chief of Men's Health US.

HSBC Holdings P.L.C.'s agreement to buy the Republic New York Corporation may mean that one of New York's slowest-moving consumer banks may get a much-needed shot in the arm.
The acquisition also means that a significant number of Republic employees are likely to be laid off, although the bank said yesterday that it was too early to say how many layoffs it might be considering.
In March, Republic said it would eliminate about 560 jobs, or nearly 10 percent of its 5,800-member work force. The bank said that 384 of those job cuts would be layoffs. Analysts said yesterday that more layoffs were likely as the two banks consolidated operations.
Consumer banking has been something of an orphan at Republic, a bank best known for inhabiting more exotic financial realms like securities and currency trading and international private banking. Because Republic's consumer business has not been nearly as profitable as competitors' consumer units, HSBC is likely to beef up Republic's recent efforts to sell higher-fee products at the branches -- moves that might come as a shock to Republic's 800,000 customers in New York State who have grown accustomed to such things as no-fee automated teller machines. HSBC declined to comment on its fee plans.
Currently, Republic has the eighth-largest consumer banking business in New York State, with about $13.6 billion in deposits statewide, according to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, the research firm. Most of Republic's 109 branches are concentrated in New York City's five boroughs.Continue reading the main story
HSBC, which recently renamed its American subsidiary from Marine Midland Bank to HSBC Bank USA and employs 9,500 people here, is the fifth-largest consumer bank in New York State, with some $21.3 billion in deposits. Most of its 405 branches are in upstate New York, in areas like Rochester and Buffalo.
Combined, the banks would rank No. 3 in New York State in terms of deposits, behind Chase Manhattan and Citigroup, according to Keefe, Bruyette. In New York City, the combined bank would be the fourth largest in terms of deposits and the third-largest bank in branches.
Although the combined bank's 149 New York City branches seem like an impressive number, ranking behind Chase's 363 and Citigroup's 162, it would lag far behind in deposits. Chase has $78.45 billion worth of deposits in New York City, Citigroup has $34.25 billion, and a combination of HSBC and Republic would have $17.8 billion.
''I wouldn't say it's cutting edge,'' said Marni Pont O'Doherty, a Keefe, Bruyette analyst, referring to Republic's consumer operation. ''Republic has run it in a sort of stodgy fashion, and HSBC will probably be able to add some dynamism.''
HSBC has one of banking's best-regarded management teams. Its expected overhaul of Republic's New York City consumer-banking business is likely to include greater lending, more aggressive marketing and higher fees.
Republic once advertised its low fees and has not joined New York banks like Citigroup and Chase Manhattan in the rush to charge for services like the use of automated teller machines. But Ms. O'Doherty and other analysts noted that other banks offered better bargains on low-fee checking accounts and that Republic no longer used low fees as part of its marketing strategy.
''Their metropolitan New York retail strategy was one of acquiring old-line savings banks, which they haven't transformed,'' said Gerard Cassidy, an analyst with Tucker Cleary Inc.
Indeed, Republic once tried to foster a sense of homey service in its consumer business, including piano players and free doughnuts in branches -- quaint touches that have disappeared in recent years.Continue reading the main story

Australia invaded by feral cats. They led to extinction of numerous native local species
Feral cats, the most irksome invasive species of the Australian continent, have directly contributed to the decline and extinction of numerous native Australian species.
Feral cats became the enemy number one when it comes to protecting the roughly 400 species that are considered endangered or vulnerable in Australia. Their widespread coverage on the continent is higher than the internet: while about 85.1 percent of the country has access to the internet, feral cats cover 99.8 percent of Australian landmass, with a density of 1 cat per every square kilometer, according to a new report published in the journal "Biological Conservation".
The study, that brings together data pulled from 100 different researches led by a team 40 leading environmental scientists, estimates the total number of feral cats in Australia is somewhere between 2.1 and 6.3 million. Their population depends on the availability of prey and the estimates include only true feral cats and not typical stray alley cats that have been socialized to people, mnn.com reports.
The threat that feral cats pose was recognized by the Australian scientists long time ago, particularly due to their direct contribution to the decline and extinction of dozens of indigenous species including the bilby, a desert-dwelling marsupial, and the numbat, also known as the banded anteater.
Aussie native wildlife that has existed for centuries without the threat of felines is now even more vulnerable. An extensive study conducted in 2015 revealed that domestic cats first arrived in Australia in the early to mid 19th century aboard European ships as household pets with a highly convenient ability for pest control. But it didn't take long for stray cats to multiple in the continent's growing coastal population hubs and, from there, feral cats followed, rapidly spreading across the continent to the vast and sparsely populated inland areas.
Feral cats aren't wild cats
From a scientific standpoint, the millions of cats from Australia that responsible for hunting and killing on average seven animals every day, from birds to rodents or small marsupials, are domestic cats through and through. Still, because of their complete lack of interaction with humans or due to the very sporadic interplay they ended up to exhibit wild behaviors.
As the new findings show, Australia's feral cat densities are highest on small islands that have yet to eradicate existing populations. Feral cats Down Under can be found in pretty much every type of habitat, no matter how extreme, although they do prefer inland areas with minimal rainfall over damper coastal regions.
Researchers found also that feral cat densities were the same both inside and outside of established Australian conservation reserves like national parks that protect native species.
Moreover, their number is also high in Australian cities, where they live between humans while having little or no interaction with them. In urbanized areas, the density of feral cats is thought to be 30 times greater than in undeveloped areas where they have adapted over time to impossibly harsh conditions.
"At the moment feral cats are undermining the efforts of conservation managers and threatened species recovery teams across Australia," Dr. Sarah Legge, a researcher at the University of Queensland, told in a press release. "As well as preying on the threatened species that occur in and near urban areas, these urban feral cats may provide a source of feral cats to bushland areas."
Scientists urged feral cats' mass eradication
Given that the new research shows their large widespread across Australia, scientists were determined to continue to push for quick, effective and humane means of mass eradication. According to Gregory Andrews, Australia's inaugural Threatened Species Commissioner with the Department of Environment and Energy, feral cats have served as a "major contributor" to the extinction of at least 27 native animals. The former diplomat whose position entails raising "awareness and support for Australia's fight against extinction" said that the report "reaffirms the importance of ambitious targets to cull feral cats."
"This new science shows that the density of feral cats in Australia is lower than it is in North America and Europe, and yet feral cats have been devastating for our wildlife", he said according to The Guardian.
Back in 2015, Greg Hunt, former environment minister, announced a five-year plan to eradicate 2 million cats in order to protect Australia's shrunken native wildlife, but he faced vehement opposition to numerous animal activists, including Brigitte Bardot and singer-songwriter Morrissey, who criticized the government's "war on feral cats."

Q&A: Allchin Pitches Vista's Hidden Features
- Q&A: Allchin Pitches Vista's Hidden Features
- networking, ipv6 and quad core
- allchin's final sales pitch
speaking of ipv6, now that it's in vista, how long until we transition to it?
i think this one is a looong time. just like tcp-ip wasn't really mainstream until microsoft adopted it in windows. before that people thought they were going ipx/spx but when we made that decision (to put tcp-ip into windows), we started the move to this. the same thing will be true here. but i don't know how many years. the fact that we have made it native, and the fact that we made the interoperability between ip4 and ip6 means it will eventually happen. we use the ipv6 world to be able to punch through nats naturally. you don't have to work hard to have ipv6 addresses. we're talking about a massive infrastructure. there are many reasons for it.
what are the benefits of ipv6?
if you think of the number of problems that we have all had trying to connect from one machine to another, those problems will essentially go away. nats are gnats. [allchin slams the table with his fist, as if he were crushing a small, winged insect.]
there's so much there in terms of connectibility, quality of service, and the end to end nature. there are a lot of benefits to truly go end to end. i'm also a believer that it will facilitate more peer-to-peer processing.
most people talk about the internet as doing it in the cloud. your e-mail may be there, your single point for rendezvous. but the internet is a great way to get between two machines. i believe we'll see more wireless connections between machines and creating meshes without any severs, just talking machine to machine. ipv6 will help encourage that.
search is everywhere in vista. is it really better?
our local search is awesome. just from a customer experience it is awesome, frankly the quality is much higher. it has taken us a long time to eke and twist and improve the quality of the search experience so it is not disruptive to your work. the indexing work was started back in the cairo days. the person working on it then is still the key guy. we put it into windows 2000, then we couldn't turn it on by default. then we put it into xp, and it was still too much of a cost to the user. when you first turn on vista, you have to let it alone for a little bit. it takes some time. but the next time you use it, it is like night and day.
what about dual- and quad-core chips? do they help?
the cores are just likehey, multiprocessing for the individual. obviously this is where balance is really important. if you can get enough bandwidth to the disk, we can keep that process (search indexing) going while you do other things, but it depends on the i/o system there. we did some things for optimizing certain... algorithms that could benefit from using more than one core. as time goes on, you'll see us talk more about optimizations with those partners [amd and intel]. the system runs very, very well, it always has on an mp machine.
what about the 64-bit version of windows? are there any good reasons to go to it today?
there's no reason not to from a quality perspective, and in fact it will be more secure. we couldn't put patch guard on the 32-bit system. and we decided to only accept signed drivers on the 64-bit version. so even if someone does decide to put in a root kit, you'll know who did it, because it was signed. you can only put so many locks on the door, but if you know who came in you can come after them. we did create a little hurdle because of signed drivers. but we did something that will help that. if you want the logo, you'll have to do 32 and 64-bit drivers. we think that will encourage the right thing.
will we ever completely move to 64-bit windows?
it is pre-ordained that we are moving to 64-bits. i cannot predict how long it will take, but we will get there.
you built banyan vines back in the eighties, still one of the most elegant and easy to use network operating systems. microsoft's lan manager was always more difficult to use, and that difficulty still extends into xp. how have you made networking easier?
i think we've made a lot of progress. simplicity is something that does drive me absolutely crazy. so many different environments and you have to give them options to get it to work in this particular way. if you don't want to run any of this stuff you don't have to run it. the wins and all that stuff is history. for example, take vista machines in the home. the way they find each other is a completely new protocol. the way you have a windows vista network at home, when a new machine comes on you see it immediately. we just made the networking aspects so much easier with the work we've done. we did update smb, which is just a fine protocol.
the main thing we focused on is when you have weird things about latency, there are a number of improvements. but it will be a long time before everyone understands all the stuff we put in vista. we should work harder in education people.
what sort of stuff?
i can come up with feature after feature after feature. some are invisible like alsr (address space layout randomization). some are visible that no one knows about. did you know that robocopy is built into vista? go to the command prompt and type in robocopy. it's an amazing way to do bulk replications between machines.continued...

Thinking more to the source cache thing, I thing this component should be actually a provider for separate objects, as different components may use the same file in different ways. I'm thinking here to a bug I fixed a long time ago where XSP and XSLTProcessor used the same cache entry to store different objects associated to a logicsheet. So the sub-category could also be used as an identifier of the cache store. Let's explain with a few lines of code: SourceStoreFactory ssf = (SourceStoreFactory)manager.lookup(SourceStoreFactory.ROLE); this.sourceStore = ssf.createStore("sitemap"); ... Processor proc = this.sourceStore.get(source); if (proc == null) { Processor proc = buildProcessor(source); this.sourceStore.store(source, proc); } The source store will then store in the real store an entry related to its name and the source's URI and validity, and automatically handle the reloading configuration and delay. >The "sub" properties default to o.a.c.reloading unlike otherwise specified. > >The source store which we might have at some point can use this property >as well.

Those who desire to buy or offer shares of stock in openly traded businesses do this by engaging a stock broker. The agent receives a commission, and perhaps, a monthly fee for handling the account.
Whenever people use the term "stock-broker" they probably tend to be discussing an equity agent. However, there are numerous differences when considering the two. Equity trading, including hedge funds and daytrading, is more properly viewed as a subset of conventional stock market trading. Equity agents usually cope with individuals who want to spend much more aggressively or who may have complex trading methods they want to apply. Minimal opportunities are usually high, and charges is often as well.
An equity agent will normally perform much more substantial marketing research, and equity organizations frequently have substantial, proprietary methods for trading. Many organizations dedicated to equities trading tend to be set up as hedge funds and lay within significant investment banks.
Hedge funds are quite distinctive from the original way of buying the stock exchange or shared funds, which is to buy shares and hold them for a lot of time. Hedge funds are extremely energetic, and frequently the investment manager needs huge dangers which could repay by means of huge profits or losses. Besides buying shares and bonds, hedge funds might also speculate on foreign exchange or potentially any investment this is certainly included in the program or method.
There are also equity agents in organizations that concentrate on daytrading. These exclusive equity organizations make their funds by allowing select traders use of financing because of the company. Some will demand that traders use the investment method manufactured by the company, while some allow investor select method provided their choices tend to be lucrative.
Equity agents are obtainable at various sorts of investment organizations. The expertise associated with the investor, along with his comfort and ease with risk, should determine the type of equity agent he selects.
Comprehensive solution brokerage organizations will normally have equity agents on staff to help those people who would like to just take an even more hostile way of investing. These organizations provide an even more "hands-on" solution toward customer, doing marketing research, tracking reports, and dispensing guidance. Normally, their charges and commissions is going to be among the list of greatest.
Many online equity agents provide people the ability to select their particular opportunities and strategies. Developing a merchant account with this specific type of agent is generally easy and quick. You'll enter your trade purchases twenty-four hours a day, 7 days weekly, although they may not be performed before the marketplace starts.
Due to the fact that equity agents typically make a lot more positions than those which purchase and sell for people who are keeping the long-term, charges can install quickly. It isn't uncommon for people to find one-fourth to one-third of these profits have gone toward equity agent or their company. People should perform their due diligence on all investment opportunities, but with the fast-paced nature of equity trading, it is even more important to take action prior to making the investment.

Welcome to the Minnesota Sports Rant for June 27, 2009. The title says it all on this glorious Saturday after a great draft by the Wolves, and the start of the non-Kevin McHale era. There's certainly a lot to talk about with a potentially major update in the Brett Favre story, a troubling story coming out of St. Paul as well as a look at the 2009 NHL Draft, and Mauer showing once again that the hometown hero is one of the best. Also included is a response to a potentially troubling rumor being perpetuated by Sports Illustrated.
So Ricky Rubio is now a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. No more Kevin McHale means we finally are going to have draft picks, and that means the wolves can start growing into a real contender. I love the pick. The kid (he is actually still a kid) has 3 years of professional experience in Spain at age 17, and some are already comparing him to Pete Maravich. Granted, this comparison is probably a bit far-fetched (and Rubio even said that he wont compare himself to Maravich outside of his hairdo), but the mere fact that there's a player on the Wolves roster that at least has the potential to be compared to Pistol Pete is great news.
Granted, Rubio isn't a pure Point Guard, and he needs to add weight, and there's some concern over how soon the Wolves can buyout his contract from Spain, but these are not major defects. He'll get bigger with age and practice, and worst case it's another year before he suits up for the wolves. It doesn't matter if he isn't a pure point guard because the wolves drafted another point guard that they aren't trading in Johnny Flynn (Ty Lawson was selected 18th by the Wolves and traded to Denver for their 1st round pick in 2010) . The Wolves GM David Kahn said that he's keen on the Wolves starting both guards. A starting Lineup of Rubio, Flynn, Corey Brewer, Kevin Love, and Al Jefferson seems like it has a ton of upside and could actually be competitive. Long story short, the future is bright for the Wolves.
Highlight of the evening - Kevin Love on Twitter after hearing Shaquille O'Neal had been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers:
shaw (sic) has played with kobe dwayne penny now lbj....lucky you shaq....lucky you
Tonight also marks the start of a Kevin McHale-free era. So I would like to pay some final dues to the awful players that Kevin McHale brought in and are no longer with the team:
- Marcus Banks
- Mark Blount
- Marko Jaric
- Michael Olowokandi
- Mike Miller (what an awful trade)
- Ndudi Ebi (Leandro Barbosa and Josh Howard were still available when they drafted him)
- Paul Grant
- Rashad McCants
- Randy Foye (too painful of a memory)
- Ricky Avis
- Troy "T-Hud" Hudson
Thank you.
Favrapolooza 2k9 Update
It's been confirmed by Pro Football Talk and WCCO's Mark Rosen that Brett Favre is going to be starting under center for the Minnesota Vikings this year assuming his arm heals from the surgery he had. This isn't really a surprise - Favre made sure he wouldn't be under contract with the Jets this upcoming season, has supposedly met with Head Coach Brad Childress and his staff numerous times, has been practicing throwing for a couple weeks, and had surgery on his elbow (?) that would have been unnecessary if he wasn't interested in returning to the NFL.
I feel if Favre is even as productive as he was with the Jets last season, the Vikings are a Super Bowl contender. They have the best RB in the NFL with Adrian Peterson, and 9 former first round draft picks (if you can name all 9 without looking it up, I will be seriously impressed) and 6 Pro Bowlers (I'll give you a hint for the 9 first-rounders - all 6 Pro Bowlers were former first round draft picks). Add in Chester Taylor, who is arguably the best back up RB in the NFL today. Taylor has shown that he has the capabilities of being a starting RB, so having him back up AP can only be beneficial. Take a relatively solid WR Corps of Bernard Berrian, Sydney Rice, and Bobby Wade; throw in the versatile Percy Harvin, and you have one of the better WR Corps in the NFL.
Favre has a pretty simple task in front of him. In order to be an upgrade over last year's performance, he needs to bring the Vikings up from being:
- 25th in passing yards per game
- 18th in QB Rating
- 23rd in Completion percentage
Simply put, Favre can regress significantly this upcoming season and still be a huge upgrade for the Vikings.
Gabbywatch and the State of Hockey
Wild free agent Marian Gaborik is still saying that he is not committed to leaving Minnesota this offseason. However, when Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province broke this story, things started looking bleak. It is still just a rumor, but the fact that there could be a rumor about this means things are not going well in the negotiations between the Wild and Gaborik. Gaborik has said he's been frustrated by now-outed and extremely agitated Head Coach Jacques Leamire's vanilla, defense-oriented system, and the Wild are notorious for being cheap after letting Pavol Demitra and Brian Rolston sign with a different team last off season (Rolston even offered them a drastically lower deal than he could get on the open market and the Wild did nothing).
If the Wild let Gaborik walk, they sure as hell better know something about the group of players they have now that we don't, because I'm not sure how they can attempt to become a more offensive-minded team by trading a guy who was their 4th best goal scorer despite playing in less than a fourth of the games last season.
Friday night, the Wild selected Nick Leddy (D - Eden Prarie HS, MN) with the 16th overall pick. Although I would have loved it it the Wild took Jordan Schroeder (C - U of MN) who went to the Canucks a couple picks later, I can't really say that I have an issue with this kid. He was named Mr. Hockey (given to the most outstanding Senior in Minnesota) and is a offensive-minded forward. He led his school to a State Championship as a Senior, and will play for the U of MN next season. Quite honestly, from both what I remember from the couple of games I saw him and what i've read online, I don't really know what his weakness is minus maybe his height (5'11). He's going to be a great addition to both the Gophers and to the Wild down the road.
The Wild also acquired Center Kyle Brodziak from Edmonton; Matthew Hackett (G - Ontario); Kristopher Foucault (LW - Albertia); Alexander Fallstrom (RW - Shattuck St. Mary's HS, MN); Darcy Kuemper (G - Sasketchewan); Jere Sallinen (F - FInland); Erik Haula (LW - Shattuck St. Mary's HS, MN); and Anthony Hamburg (C - Arizona). For those of you unaware, Shattuck is a boarding school in Faribault, MN and is where Sidney Crosby went to school. For the most part, Shattuck is where Hockey prodigies go to become noticed. They've won 2 of the last 3 USA Hockey U18 National Championships. However, if you don't play Hockey, I have no fucking clue why you would chose to go to school there.
The only other Minnesota player that was drafted in the first round was Jordan Schroeder who grew up in Minnesota and played for the U of MN last year. Since Mookie emailed me about him, I'll post what I told him:
[Jordan Schroeder] everything you'd expect from a guy who grew up in the Exurbs of the Twin Cities. Great vision, smart kid, huge steal that late in the draft. Second in points at the U [of MN] as a Freshman, just an overall great player. [Although] he's [only] 5'9 and 180, he's [only] 18 so he could still grow another inch (and that's a pretty important inch), and he's played hockey almost his entire life. He comes from a great program at the U of MN [for those of you who aren't avid College Hockey fans, the U is the equivalent of a Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio St., Michigan, etc - a program with a rich history of success, almost always near the top in the nation with their recruiting classes, and apro-style program] and played with Jay Barriball (STL) and Ryan Stoa (COL) who are both pretty good NHL prospects. He's gonna be fun to watch this year (he'll stay in college at least another year). His only weakness is that he's always looking to set someone up and can be unwilling to take a shot. But its better for him to be that way than to be taking shitty shots.
Mr. 400
Although the Minnesota Twins have had a mediocre season so far, catcher Joe Mauer has been spectacular. In 51 games, Mauer has a .394 batting average, a .486 OBP, and a .691 SLG to go with his 14 Home Runs and 43 RBIs. Not only is this a great start for any player (much less a catcher), but Joe Mauer has done this despite not working out all winter and missing spring training due to an inflamed joint in his pelvis and a kidney surgery. Simply put, Mauer is having a season unlike any other. According to SI's Tom Verducci, Mauer has his swing down to a science. He swung at maybe 9 first pitches in his first 200 at bats, has broken maybe a half-dozen bats in his career (not a typo), and some say he's taken 4 check swings total in the past 5 years. Mauer is hitting over .250 in 2-strike situations (league average is around .190), hits .421 against right-handed pitchers, and .356 against lefties. Translation: If you're a Manager and you have to decide who to bring out of the bullpen to face Mauer, the best you can hope for is to make him only a good hitter.
Beyond his consistency, there's no doubt that having Justin Morneau hit behind him has helped tremendously. Morneau is hitting .309 (.390 OBP) right now with 16 Home Runs and 58 RBIs. If Denard Span can bring his average back above .300 (he's hitting .289 right now), Mauer will be surrounded by .300+ hitters, making the opposing Manager's job even more difficult. Despite pitching woes, I still think that the Twins and Mauer can have a strong second half of the season. The Twins for some reason have always been able to turn things around in the second half of the season, and if Mauer can keep up the pace (which would be remarkable), the Twins have a shot to win the AL Central.
Re: Rubio to the Knicks?
Sports Illustrated as well as several other prominent sports news sources are hyping the rumor that the Wolves might trade Ricky Rubio to the New York Knicks.
There are three primary reasons why this will not happen any time soon:
1. The Wolves have no Coach
As of now, the Wolves are still without a Head Coach. So long as this is the case, I can't honestly see the Wolves trading Rubio. They have two very different Point Guards in Vince Flynn and Rubio, and the new coach will inevitably want to have a say in which one they keep (assuming the plan is to trade one of them). Depending on the type of Offense the new coach plays, and his general impression of each player, he might end up prefering one over the other, or even deciding that he wants to play both of them at the same time. Until they have a new coach, there's no way to know who to trade and for what.
2. The Fans love Rubio
Kevin McHale is out, and Andrew Kahn is in as Wolves GM. McHale (as explained earlier) was notorious amongst Wolves fans for his awful drafting strategy and trading away players. He sent Brandon Roy to Portland for Randy Foye, and then traded O.J. Mayo for Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal, and Jason Collins (I like Love a lot, but Miller, Cardinal, and Collins were awful for the Wolves last year). Thursday night, Kahn showed he was not going to be like McHale and took the best player available in Rubio. He's young, he's energetic, he's flashy, and Wolves fans are still rejoicing over the selection. Simply put, Rubio was the signal Wolves fans were waiting for that a new era had begun. To trade Rubio would be a very unpopular move (especially to the Knicks who have nothing to offer the Wolves sans a first round pick next year).
3. Andrew Kahn
From what I've heard so far, Kahn is dead set on having both Flynn and Kahn on the court at the same time in the future. He thinks that a 2 point guard system is the way of the future in the NBA, and has had nothing but confidence that it would work out to have both of them on the court. He's the one that would make the decision as to whether or not to trade Rubio, and from what we know, he likes Rubio.

A data feed
is a large file filled with lots of information about a merchant's
products. A data feed can also be thought of as the main building
block to form a database. Data feeds can contain anywhere from a
handful of products, to tens of thousands of products. If you want
to access the Eastwood data feed, you must be prepared to use a
very large file. Though the file is zipped when you download it,
once it is unzipped it is around 3 MB. One of the most important
things you'll need is a tool like WebMerge
to translate the data feed into pages that visitors can view, initiate
purchases from, and be included in search results.
Data feeds
are converted into individual products and include descriptions,
links for images, links for visitors to click, pricing and more.
The affiliate can take the information in the feed and build individual
pages for each product, or put multiple products on each page.
An affiliate
data feed may also enhance a site that already has some sort of
specific content. Utilizing an affiliate data feed means your
site will have more exposure on the web through search engine results,
and will have a higher number of pages published.
Using a data
feed means more exposure on the web. More exposure for your affiliate
site, and more exposure for the merchant's products.
Some argue
that using a data feed means that the results at the search engines
will be flooded with worthless redundant information. This is a
possibility -- if everyone made their pages the same way. However,
there are many ways in which you can make your web site not only
stand out, but be of value to your site visitors, those using search
engines, the merchants, and most importantly you. Later, we'll cover
some of the things you can do to enhance the value you put into
your data feed based web sites.
Data feeds
can be delivered a number of ways, but usually involve the use of
File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Eastwood has two ways of
accessing the data feed: one through Commission Junction and one
through EZDatafeed.com. Eastwood updates the feed every Friday evening,
helping to ensure fresh content is being published on the web. If
you would like access to the datafeed, just email email@example.com.
outside feed is free; CJ charges $250 for access through their site.
Remember, the feed is filled with products. Each product in the
data feed is called a Record. Another way to look at it, is if there
are 3,500 products in the feed, then there are 3,500 records --
one for each product.
Each record (product) has information associated with it. This information
is found in individual "Fields" For example, you'll see a couple
of fields like the URL for the product's image location "http://www.eastwood.com/images/us/local/products/detail/p13039.jpg",
and the main category for the product "Welding>Gas & Accessories."
Most feeds contain many more fields, and sadly not all of them are
the same. Some feeds may have twenty or twenty-five different field
names. Eastwood's feed has 33 fields, not all of which you are required
to use.
We also need a name to call the fields, these are called "Field
Names," and may look like this: "buyurl," "enddate,"
and "available."
So we have
records, fields, and field names. It would be nice if these
were organized into a table, so we could simply look at it like
a spreadsheet, wouldn't it? Well, that's exactly what all
this data information fits into – a table. One of the tools you
will need that we'll talk more about later, is a tool to view the
information in the data feed. For example, MS Excel or other
programs work well.
If you open
the data feed in something like WordPad, or your favorite text editor
(Notepad is usually too wimpy to look at data feeds), you'll see
all of the fields jammed together, so it will look like one big
file full of stuff. Fortunately, data feeds are formatted or Delimited
where each field is separated by something called a delimiter. The
Eastwood feed is "pipe" delimited. Maybe you can see the
little vertical pipes between the different fields, they look like
this | . The pipe character
should be on your keyboard at the extreme right, above the Enter
How a data
feed is delimited is very important when we want to import
it into Excel to clean it up, or when you use WebMerge to make your
html files.
Turning data
feed information into a web page that visitors can view, deliver
value to the visitor, and be found in search results at major search
engines, can be accomplished a couple of ways. One way is to utilize
a script located on the web server to convert the information on
the fly. This method, utilizing scripting languages like PHP,
Perl, or CGI is very fluid and configurable, but requires programming
knowledge. Some scripting methods do not allow for easy spidering
by search engine robots. We will focus on another method, utilizing
a tool called WebMerge
to build what are called static web pages that are uploaded to your
server complete and ready to be spidered.

Smoking Especially Bad to Spouses
Smoking Especially Bad to Spouses
A new study analyzed the healthy
effects of SHS to spouses of
smokers; © SXC
For those who never smoked, being married to a current smoker was associated with a 42 percent increase in risk of stroke compared to being married to a never-smoker. For former smokers, being married to a current smoker was associated with a 72 percent increase in risk compared to being married to a never-smoker. Being married to a former smoker was not associated with any increase in risk compared to being married to a never-smoker.
This suggests that although stroke risk is elevated if your spouse smokes, that risk is eliminated if your spouse stops smoking. For example, never-smokers married to former smokers had nearly the same stroke risk as never-smokers married to never-smokers. Current smokers had significantly elevated stroke rates compared to never-smokers, and spousal smoking status did not affect this risk among current smokers.
The data were drawn from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a National Institute on Aging sponsored longitudinal survey of U.S. adults nationwide aged ≥50 years and their spouses. Enrolments occurred in 1992, 1993, 1998 and 2004 and final analyses included 16,225 respondents.
Spousal smoking status was assessed at the time of enrolment and participants were followed an average of 9.1 years after enrolment for the incidence of stroke. All models were adjusted for age; race; Hispanic ethnicity; Southern birthstate; parental education; paternal occupation class; years of education; baseline income; baseline wealth; obesity; overweight; alcohol use; and diagnosed hypertension, diabetes or heart disease.
Maria Glymour, ScD, Harvard School of Public Health, says: "These findings indicate that spousal smoking increases stroke risk among non-smokers and former smokers. The health benefits of quitting smoking likely extend beyond individual smokers to affect their spouses, potentially multiplying the benefits of smoking cessation."

my heirs to avoid probate?
If you do not deed/title the property in the name of the trust, it will not be trust property. That being said, I generally recommend against Connecticut residence using revocable trusts in the first place. If you're using it to hold out of state property, provide for a relative with special needs, or indicate the management of your finances if you become incapacitated, it's a valid tool, but for avoiding probate it is generally wasteful. Most of the time, your heirs will have to open a probate estate, the probate fee and estate taxes will be the same whether property is owned directly or in trust, and while a real estate sale can keep an estate open for longer, it doesn't necessarily have to take more than six months.

Only assets titled to the trustee, or those assets on which the designated beneficiary is the trustee will avoid probate court administration. Many estate plans that have revocable trusts include a "pour over" Will that places your individually owned assets into the trust. However, those assets must first go through probate administration before they can be transferred into the trust. There are other ways to avoid probate besides a revocable trust. Assets owned jointly with rights of survivorship will not go through probate as long as there is a living joint owner. Assets on which you can designate a beneficiary, such as life insurance and IRA's, also avoid probate as long as there is a proper designated beneficiary form completed.Ask a similar question
Trusts can be great tools for holding, protecting and distributing your assets. However, they are almost useless if they are not funded properly. In any event, the other attorneys are correct that probate will still be necessary to transfer any assets that you own in your name alone into the trust (assuming there is a 'pour-over' will).
But having said that, if you are diligent in transferring as much property as you can into the trust during your lifetime, including changing beneficiary designations on IRAs and insurance policies, you may be able to at least simplify the probate process.

As a first principle, most assets which you do not have titled in the name of your trust will have to be probated. Unless you have an appropriate plan, those probated assets might not go where you expect, that is, most trusts are paired with a will which directs any non-trust property be devised to the trust (through probate). Thus, to avoid probate, it is critical to have your assets titled in the trust.

A Trust without any assets is of little benefit, however, its advisable to consult with an Estate Planning Attorney to guide you through a number of complex decisions to determine what tools (such as a Trust) that your Estate Plan should leverage to achieve your tax, financial or family objectives.
A Trust is one tool in an Estate Plan and for simplicity can be thought of as a private agreement between the Trust and its Beneficiaries on how the Trust's Assets (contributed by the Donor) are to be managed and distributed. A "Living Trust" (a/k/a "Inter Vivos Trust") can take Title to assets (i.e. real estate, personal property, stock, etc) while the Donor is alive, and if it's a Revocable Trust that generally means the Donor in his/her lifetime can change or terminate the Trust. Another common Trust that is most often created within a person's Last Will & Testament, and referred to as a Testamentary Trust, essentially lies dormant during the person's lifetime and becomes effective only after the person (Donor) dies (i.e. it doesn't have title to assets during the Donor's lifetime). One drawback of a Testamentary Trust is that the Estate still needs t be probated in order for the assets to "pour over" from the Testator (person who died) to the Trust set up within the Last Will & Testament (i.e. to care for minor children until they reach age 25, etc.)
Some of the more common reasons people use Trusts is to reduce estate taxes, provide for minor children, provide for special needs child (and maintain his/her eligibility for means tested benefits), manage assets for a financially unsophisticated or incapable person, and transfer assets outside of probate and in private.
Also be aware that some of the benefits of using a Trust to protect your assets have specific look back periods that the assets must have been transferred from the Donor's name to the Trust's name, so delay in transferring the assets can be harmful to an overall Estate Plan if not executed property.
Good luck and a good Estate Attorney would be a worthwhile investment to make sure your plan is appropriate for your circumstances.

Disclaimer: The foregoing answer does not constitute legal advice, is provided for informational and educational purposes only for persons interested in the subject matter. Each situation is fact specific and may be subject to state specific laws. Without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and documents at issue it is impossible to evaluate a legal problem fully. This answer does not create an attorney-client relationshipAsk a similar question
The general answer to your question is, "it is essential to have your home, car, and other assets titled in the name of your trust to avoid probate on those assets that would otherwise be subject to probate".
However, a complete answer to your question is not that simple. The first issue is to examine is whether avoiding probate is truly you only goal. If you have other goals, such as protecting assets from creditors, planning for a long term illness, and estate tax planning, a revocable trust may or may not be the only or best tool to accomplish your goals.
I am generally a huge proponent of using revocable living trust as the foundation estate planning document, but even I would be certain to tell you that a revocable trust is not for everyone, and certainly will not meet 100% of every client's goals. If you have multiple goals, you may want to sit with an estate planning attorney to review those goals and see how or if your revocable trust meets your needs,
If avoiding probate is truly your only goal, the next question is "what do you own". The only assets that are subject to probate are those that are owned in our individual name, and do not have a pay on death or beneficiary designation. Assets held in joint tenancy with right of survivorship are not probated. Assets such as retirement accounts, savings bonds and those with Transfer on Death (TOD) designations are not probated.
While joint tenancy, beneficiary designations and TOD accounts can avoid probate, these forms of ownership come with their own problems. Holding property in joint tenancy with a spouse, or naming a spouse as the beneficiary of retirement and other accounts may eventually lead to significantly higher estate taxes. These forms of ownership do not protect assets from the claims of creditors while you are living, or from the creditors, estate taxes or divorcing spouses of your beneficiaries after your death.
Unique to Connecticut, regardless of whether an asset is subject to probate, and regardless of whether estate taxes are due, Connecticut estates pay a fee to the probate court. This fee is calculated based on the value of your assets at death.
Once again it is about your goals and what you own. A qualified estate planning attorney may help transfer the appropriate assets into your trust and, based on your priorities, help you establish a comprehensive plan to accomplish as many of your goals as possible.
I hope this helps.

Okay.. For everyone who hasn't read my previous posts... I've been really crushing on this guy. I went with my aunt to her in-laws..and he (her younger brother in-law) had just moved back in with them. I was immediately attracted to him, which is weird..because with most people I see..I might feel a physical attraction..but I can let it go, & move on almost immediately, & completely forget about them. I told my aunt I was attracted to him, & asked if it was weird. She said it wasn't, he's not related, & anyone would be stupid not to notice he's attractive. I had no clue how to get a hold of him, so I sent a Facebook request. He hadn't been on in two years. His brother called him, chit-chatted, & told him he should check his Facebook. He got on, added me, & messaged me. He said he didn't get on there much, but he would try to check it more in the future. I replied saying that I was wanting to get to know him, and was wondering if there was another way to talk since he's not crazy about Facebook. He was already off before I sent it. A month had passed, and he still hadn't checked it. I got the opportunity to go back with my aunt a couple times. When we were alone in the living room, we started talking, & Facebook came up..I told him I replied back. He apologized for not checking it, & checked it & answered out loud, "Sure! I don't see a problem with us hanging out." But, we didn't exchange numbers. The next night, my aunt said to write my number down on a piece of paper, & he wanted it. I found out SHE ASKED HIM if he wanted it. He didn't call, or text. I sent a message on Facebook asking how his Christmas went. I had the opportunity to go & see him again, but didn't go.. He replied back a couple days later, & said it was good, how was mine, & ended it with, "We should get together soon?" I answered & he was already off. I had said yes, & asked if he still had my number. Nearly a month later he got back on, & said, "I'm so sorry I haven't called you. I have no good excuse, so I'll save the b.s. But how about dinner next week?" I said that sounded great, & asked if he texted. He texted me & said, "From time to time...etc...etc" & we texted a bit. He asked if next Friday was okay for me. We texted about music, & college, etc. I asked his middle name. He said, "Now we're getting personal aren't we?" & told me his middle name, & asked mine. I couldn't tell if he was kidding when he said that or what. It's so hard to tell when someone is kidding or being serious in a text or through e-mail. He had never heard my music before, & he asked if I'd burn him a cd...which I thought was cool that he wanted to give my music a shot. But then he hadn't texted me in a couple days..or called. My aunt told me to check with him & make sure that "Next Friday" wasn't this Friday, since that was on a Sunday & Monday when he mentioned it. He said next Friday was okay, & was 7 a good time to pick me up. I'm nervous. I have no idea if this guy is even physically attracted to me.
This Is My First REAL Date, Any Suggestions On Things To Talk About?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Be yourself and have fun. The goal is not to win him over, the goal is to see if you two make a good couple and enjoy each others company. If he doesn't like you when you're being yourself, there's no point in faking it to get a 2nd date.10|10|0
I'm afraid of being myself 2 the point that I scare him away. When I open up, I tend 2 over-share. &, atm I'm going 2 therapy because I'm struggling with depression, & phobias. 2 of those phobias are driving & going back 2 work. So, I'm really afraid he'll ask something, & I won't lie..& I'll end up scaring him away. He's older (35), but it doesn't seem weird 2 me. I wasn't raised around people my age. & most of my friends are in their late 20's/early 30's. I don't think he's dated someone my age.
- Show AllShow Less
Honestly, his behavior only makes sense if either he got nudged into asking you out, or he's also been battling depression, or both. By 'both' it may mean he found you attractive, but had trouble actually taking initiative. Anyway. Try to have a good time and just see what happens.
Ahhh. Hopefully he wasn't pushed into it. I will definitely try..unless he cancels.. lol. Thank you

World Cup: Wales midfielder Joe Allen targets Scotland showdown as key clash
Wales midfielder Joe Allen believes the match with Scotland is a great chance to revive their flagging World Cup hopes
Last Updated: 09/10/12 7:08pm
Chris Coleman's men face an uphill task after last month's 2-0 reverse to Belgium and the 6-1 drubbing in Serbia.
Wales face a must-win match against their fellow Group A strugglers on Friday as they look to end a run of five successive defeats.
Allen realised the significance of the match and insists the squad are right behind Coleman, when asked about the boss.
"Of course we are," said Allen. "He is a fantastic manager and preparations have been perfect for us.
"After a disappointing defeat you always want to bounce back as quickly as possible, so luckily this game has come around quite quickly.
"But we have also had time to reflect. We have to make sure we put things right in the next game."
"It (the qualifying campaign) is not all over. You have to be confident and faithful that you can still achieve qualification. That is our one and only aim.
"It goes without saying that losing our first two games makes it that much more difficult, but we are looking forward to these two games coming up and getting some points on the board.
"You can't class games as 'must-win'. Obviously there is an added bit of pressure - that is natural after two defeats.
"It is a game where we are confident we can pick up three points - although I'm sure the Scots will feel that way as well."
