Dante's Gift: A Chicago Christmas #1
Kathleen James has put her practical side away for once and looks forward to the perfect romantic evening: an intimate dinner with the man of her dreams—and an engagement ring. She is not prepared to hear that he wants to bring his grandmother back from Italy to live with him.
Dominic Lawrence has planned this marriage proposal for six months. Nothing can go wrong—until his Nonna calls. Now he must interrupt the tenderest night of Katie's life with the news that another woman will be under their roof.
When Antonia's sister dies, she finds herself longing to be back in the states. An Italian wartime bride from the '40s, she knows how precious love can be. Can her own story of an American soldier and a very special collie once again bring two hearts together at Christmas?

WWII romance:
The pilot with wheat-colored hair put his elbows on the counter and leaned toward her. "I could buy thirty loaves of bread at home for that much lettuce."
"But you are not home, soldier. You are here, in Benevento, and a sticky bun is 100 lire." She meant to be rude but his soft brown gaze made her heart race as if she'd just chased Dante across the field. His smile went to his eyes, adding crinkles to the corners, and made her own lips turn up. "The cost of supplies is very expensive these days, as you know."
"So I've heard. Give me five," he said with a wink. "Maybe I can sweet talk the captain into putting me back into a plane."
"Save your money, Ken. Your ears obviously ain't got any better in the last ten minutes," he answered, rubber-necking over the counter. "Get a load of that landing gear."
Dante growled again but this time showed sharp, white teeth. "I don't think he likes you much, Bob."
"Well I don't care for him, neither. Give me two of those, and we'll get out of your hair."
The men paid for the rolls and walked outside. She headed into the kitchen when that quiet, deep voice stopped her. "I'd like to apologize for my friend. He's not a bad Joe once you get to know him."
"I don't think I care to," she said without turning around.
"It looks like I may be making regular trips through your town. Do you work here often?" His tone dripped like honey from a ladle and poured over her; she felt her body turn toward him even as her brain told her "no."
"My family owns it. I am here every day."
"So your father is Guido?" He had resumed his place at the counter, balanced on his elbows again, inviting her back without a word.
She found herself leaning on the counter from the other side. "How do you know my father?"
"The sign says Guido's Café."
She laughed. "Yes, it does. So you are no private eye, eh?"
He whistled then. "You'd make Betty Grable green with envy when you smile. It makes those blue eyes sparkle like a fresh-cut diamond. You should do that more often."
Her eyes lowered, embarrassed at the compliment and the image of the American pinup girl in a bathing suit. "You should go catch up with your friends."
"My name is Ken Lawrence," he said and held out his hand.
"Antonia Capriotti," she replied and took his hand. A tingle shot down her center and curled her toes. "It is nice to meet you."
"You're blushing. Mmm, beautiful and modest. That's a rare find, you know." He held firmly onto her hand. "And who is this?"
She looked down at the silent collie. He hadn't made a noise when this man reached across the counter and touched her. Odd. "Dante, our protector."
"You need one, with mugs like Bob." He made a kissing noise in the dog's direction and slapped the counter. Dante jumped up, feet on the edge and barked. Ken reached over and scratched the dog behind his ears. "Good boy, you look like my old Schotzie."
"You have a dog?"
"I did. Old man hit fourteen just before I left. Mom sent me his collar when he passed."
"I'm sorry, they are just like one of the family, si?"
"Yes they are," he agreed, giving Dante one more pat before he tipped his hat. "I hope to see you again soon, Antonia."
She hugged the collie as the Yank left, a swagger to his walk. "What do you know that I don't, hmm? I trust your instincts better than mine. Perhaps we'll consider more conversation with this Americano if he returns."
Excerpt from contemporary love story:
The scent of turkey met her at Dom's front door. For a moment, apprehension swept through her at the thought of helping in the kitchen. Then a handsome man stood before her, and she couldn't wipe the foolish smile off her face. Instead of saying something stupid, she held out the wine.
"In a holiday bag, no less," Dom said, eyebrows raised. He stepped back to let her in, grabbed her hand, and spun her around to face him. "You look stunning."
"I just thought that the burlap would give it extra protection if I dropped it, and they only seemed to have holiday wine bags in stock and—"
One finger covered her mouth. As his head slowly lowered, she could feel his breath on her face; heat raced through her core. By the time their lips touched, her legs had turned to jello; she clung to him for support.
Gently pushing her toward the wall, he pressed his length against her and whispered, "I need to make you mine, legally, before I lose all control. You have no idea the affect you have on me, do you?"
"I think that is the most romantic thing anyone has ever said to me," she said breathless. "Kiss me like that again… please?"
"I'd be happy to oblige if you tell me that isn't my grandmother standing in the doorway watching us."
Katie looked over to see Antonia, a wide grin on her face, and quickly pushed on the hard chest that pinned her to the wall. She ran a hand through her hair as the blood rushed to her face.
"Oh Nico, such good Italian blood in you. And not even any mistletoe out yet." Antonia wiped her hands on her apron and waved to the young couple. "Come now, we have work to do before we play."
The two followed her in like reprimanded children who showed no remorse, holding hands and snickering. This is silly but it feels so good. Katie accepted the apron and as she pulled the straps behind her, strong hands covered hers.
"Let me," he whispered in her ear. "I'm good at tying knots."
Paper Love: A Chicago Christmas #2
Growing up in a Papua New Guinea mission, Joss Palmateer is a gentle soul with a unique view of life. Still adjusting to a new home in the U.S and the sudden loss of her mother, love is the last thing on her mind.
Sexy physical therapist, Ben Montgomery, meets his sister's friend and the sparks fly. He takes it as a challenge when she ignores his advances, but it's her extraordinary inner beauty that captures his heart.
With the help of a stray homing pigeon and an old origami legend, Ben sets an unwavering course of romance to win her love.
"This is a very sweet love story. The characters are easy to like and the supporting characters have a lot to do with this couple having a chance at a relationship. Ben's sister is Joss' best friend and does a great job staying neutral. The pigeon that befriends Ben is a warm touch. The flirty personality that Ben is portrayed as having is an eye opener. Readers will appreciate the realization he comes to and decides to rectify his character. Joss and her family are survivors and are portrayed as such, very identifiable. This is a clean and entertaining read." ~~Viola Robins, InD'tale Magazine
"It's a beautiful and entertaining ride in one of the best love stories I've read…" ~ Yomari Suarez, Goodreads reviewer
"This author has a knack for love stories that make your heart flutter."~~ Books N' Pearls Review
"No, I categorize, I don't judge. We're all different. We all have a role in life." He mirrored her pose. "So you're argumentative."
"Not usually, but you bring out the best in me."
His laugh was so loud that it drew the attention of the others in the room. Joss' face turned red. "And intelligent and beautiful." His bright green eyes pinned hers and turned a smoky jade. "Go out with me. You won't regret it."
"Said the lion to the mouse." But she couldn't keep the smile from her face. He was arrogant but witty. Her mind craved the challenge he would provide if her body didn't betray her first. Step away from the charming, to-die-for handsomeness of this man.
A brunette came up behind the couch, put her head between them and said in a breathy tone, "Don't forget about the rest of your guests. You promised us a dance."
"Indeed I did." He stood up and held out a hand to Joss. "Would you care to dance?"
Joss shook her head. "No, I don't dance." "Never?" "Never." "The gauntlet has been thrown. I'll ask again," he said and turned to the
blonde. "C'mon Jackie. Let's swing." Ben grabbed the girl's hand and moved through the crowd. A whistle
pierced the air. "Swing time," someone yelled and bodies started moving toward the large porch.
"Easy Breezy," Becky called out as she swept past Joss. Interest piqued, she stood and moved toward the back of the house. An old tune, sounding like something from the thirties or forties filled the house. Four couples were on the dance floor, including Becky. She recognized two more of the Montgomery siblings, and then it was a blur of movement.
The crowd started to clap and sing along as if this was an expected part of the evening's entertainment. Joss watched the couples twist, turn, shoot out in spins, and come back together. They bent and stretched, flapped their hands yet never stopped smiling. The pure delight on Becky's face was contagious, and Joss began clapping along with the rest of the audience.
And then her eyes landed on Ben. His tall, muscular frame moved as gracefully as a cat but with the power of a bull. She couldn't take her eyes from him. He spun the girl out and pulled her into his side, bent and moved forward, their feet pivoting back and forth in unison as they moved across the room. After another twirl, he pulled her into his chest, her face looking up at him with a huge expectant smile. His shirtsleeves strained against his muscled arms as he swung her up like a rag doll and tossed her against his hip, down against him for a brief moment as their eyes met, and back up on his other side.
When the song ended, she was as breathless as the dancers. He turned and searched the guests. His gaze latched onto her, traveling from her face to her heaving chest and back up to her eyes. That smile, those full lips, sent heat through her and dared her to come closer. The girl tugged at his arm, caught his attention for just a moment, and the spell was broken.

"Hey, Henry, you want a little overtime?" the supervisor had asked. "Charlie called in sick and I could use an extra hand. Another rich collector remembered us in his will. We've got a pricey piece arriving in about an hour and I'd feel better with some extra security."
Henry tried to wipe the smile off his face. Five years in the city and he still felt like a country bumpkin. "Sure."
"The paper says a Rubens. Flemish, wasn't he? But it's a small one."
Henry gave a whistle. "Impressive."
"There's a companion painting with it, artist unknown. We'll have to find a spot for it in appreciation for the collector's piece."
An hour later, Henry held a priceless painting in his hands. God, he loved this job.
"The family probably figured they wouldn't get any money out of the other one. But this one sure is a beauty," the supervisor said as he reached for the Rubens.
"Yes, indeed," Henry replied, as his eyes landed on the second painting. "Striking."
Henry's boss laughed. "I'm talking about this one, Bud. The little one is worth the big bucks!" His boss headed toward the office to start the paperwork on the new museum pieces.
"Yes, of course," he murmured, but his attention remained focused on the woman in the larger painting.
She sat on the edge of a rocky cliff, her face slightly turned as if looking over the edge. Her legs were out to the side, knees bent, a long, olive-colored skirt spread around her haphazardly as if blown by the wind. The stormy ocean breakers rushed between jagged rocks then turned into frothy waves that lapped at the sand. The details in the picture were crisp and stark, the color was minimal—just the woman on a cliff with the turbulent water below. But the overall effect created a hauntingly beautiful scene.
He felt her distress, her sorrow. His fingers itched to reach out and pull her from the painting and hold her, soothe her, give her comfort. Henry knew that if she could turn and face him, he would be looking at the most exquisite creature he'd ever seen. His hand shook as he reached out to touch the canvas.
"Are you okay, Henry?"
Henry drew his hand back quickly as if he'd been caught in the act of—of what? Touching a frame? Good lord, he must be tired.
"What? Oh, yeah, I just need some sleep. " As Henry turned to leave, he took one last look at the woman who had just stolen his heart. Fate had given him a precious gift. He whistled "Angels We Have Heard on High" all the way home.

What Does MuscleTech Anarchy Do?
The basic premise of any pre-workout formula is that it will give you a considerable boost to your mental and physical performance what you hit the weights room.
More specifically, MuscleTech Anarchy provides a wide range of benefits such as reducing lactic acid accumulation in your muscles, improving your muscular pumps, and even helping you to burn fat more efficiently.
The addition of stimulants like Caffeine and Choline will also help to keep you more mentally alert and focused so that you can smash your way through even the most grueling of training sessions.
What's in MuscleTech Anarchy?
MuscleTech Anarchy contains the following ingredients:
- Calcium
- Beta Alanine
- Arginine Inositol Silicate
- HydroMax (supplying 65% Glycerol)
- Caffeine Anhydrous
- Choline Bitartrate
- L-Theanine
- Rhodiola Rosea Root
- Yohimbe Extract
How and When Do I Take It?
As per the manufacturers recommendations you are to mix of one serving of MuscleTech Anarchy into 6 to 8 ounces of water approximately 20 to 30 minutes before your workout.
This initially small dose will help you to assess your tolerance to the caffeine and other stimulants contained in the formula.
Once you have assessed your tolerance and are ready to use a higher dose you can take one or two servings in 12 to 16 ounces of water, again taken 20 to 30 minutes before your workout.
It is recommended that you do not exceed two scoops within a single 24-hour period, and you should always read the label before use to ensure you are fully informed about correct usage on an ongoing basis.
What are the Suggested Benefits?
MuscleTech Anarchy contains a wide range of performance-enhancing ingredients that are sure to give you an additional edge when you hit the gym.
Beta Alanine helps to act as a buffer against lactic acid accumulation, essentially lowering acidity levels within your muscles so that you can crank out rep after rep, set after set, with far less fatigue during your workouts.
If you have ever experienced "the burn" during higher repetition sets then you are probably more than familiar with the pain and fatigue caused by the buildup of lactic acid within your muscles, so using beta alanine is a great way of reducing this lactate accumulation so that you can train hard for longer.
Up next we have Arginine, provided in MuscleTech Anarchy as Nitrosigine.
Arginine is a punk-enhancing agent which helps to increase nitric oxide levels in your blood, thereby boosting your circulation, increasing muscular pumps and vascularity, and delivering a greater volume of nutrient-rich blood to your muscles while you train.
The ingredients contained within MuscleTech Anarchy all offer a range of benefits, but if they aren't getting where they need to go then it is all for naught; with ample quantities of arginine flowing through your system this will definitely not be a problem.
HydroMax contains Glycerol which provides a similar benefits to Arginine by saturating your muscles with water, keeping them absolutely hydrated to enhance your forceful contractions and give you greater leverage when lifting heavy weights.
Caffeine and Choline are well-known stimulants and nootropic compounds that promote cognitive function, enhance your mood, and of course give you a considerable boost to your energy levels and mental clarity.
Yohimbe Extract contains Yohimbine which acts to directly release stored triglyceride from your fat cells so that it can be mobilized into your bloodstream and burned as energy while you exercise; if you are looking to burn fat or stay lean then this can definitely prove useful.
Are there Any Precautions?
Because of its vasodilatory effects, MuscleTech Anarchy should be avoided by anyone who has ever suffered a heart attack or other form of cardiovascular disease.
MuscleTech Anarchy should be used with caution if you are sensitive to caffeine or other stimulants.
What's more, MuscleTech Anarchy should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women, nor should it be used by individuals under the age of 18.
Consult your doctor or physician prior to using MuscleTech Anarchy if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or if you are currently using prescription medication.

MuscleTech Anarchy FAQ
Is MuscleTech Anarchy Worth Investing in?
If you are looking for a pre-workout supplement that will provide a considerable boost to your performance through the use of proven effective ingredients in you really can't go too far astray with MuscleTech Anarchy.
Compounds like Beta Alanine, Arginine, and Caffeine have been proven time and time again to offer performance-enhancing effects for athletes and bodybuilders.
While you may be able to save some amount of money by purchasing all of these ingredients separately, you would likely need to purchase them in bulk to see any real savings, requiring a massive initial investment.
A pre-workout product like MuscleTech Anarchy offers cost-effective convenience and decent overall value for money.
Do I Need to Use a Pre-Workout Supplement?
If you have only just started training and are still learning the ropes, so to speak, then you probably don't need to use a pre-workout supplement. In this case a simple whey protein powder and creatine supplement will most likely suffice.
On the other hand, as you make an increasing amount of progress in your training, growing bigger and stronger over months of consistent hard work, there is no reason why a pre-workout supplement one help you up your game when the time is right.
Your first priority should be to ensure that you are training hard enough to warrant the use of a pre-workout supplement, while also making sure that your diet is where it needs to be so that you are eating enough protein and carbohydrates to fuel your training and recovery.
Once these factors are in place you will be in a better position to reap the benefits that a top pre-workout product like MuscleTech Anarchy has to offer.
Is MuscleTech Anarchy Safe?
Providing you follow the manufacturer's guidelines and pay close attention to the precautions mentioned above and listed on the packaging, there should be minimal risk in using a product like MuscleTech Anarchy.
MuscleTech Anarchy contains little in the way of hype or unnecessary exotic ingredients, instead relying on tried and tested compounds that have been shown to improve performance and recovery both in and out of the gym.
If you are in the market for a pre-workout supplement that works and that you can refill shortly after taking, then MuscleTech Anarchy is almost definitely the right choice for you.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- HealthStream Inc (HSTM) shares are down -6.9% to $22.69 on heavy volume on Tuesday. By midday, 293,000 shares had been traded, surpassing the stock's three month daily average volume of 218,500 thousand shares.
The declinel follows the release of the company's first quarter earnings report after the closing bell on Monday.
SELL NOW: If you own any of the 900 stocks that TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified as a 'Sell'...you could potentially lose EVERYTHING in the next 6-12 months. Learn more.
The healthcare organization research and solutions provider posted revenue of $38.3 million in the first quarter, surpassing first quarter 2013's revenue by 29%, but falling short of analysts consensus estimates of $41.01 million.
Net income for the quarter was $1.9 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, missing analysts EPS estimates of 9 cents per diluted share.
TheStreet Ratings team rates HEALTHSTREAM INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate HEALTHSTREAM INC (HSTM) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and reasonable valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow."

Group seeks protection for Hudson River area
The Hudson River Gorge contains world-class wild rapids — and thousands of acres around it would be made permanent wilderness under a conservation group's recent proposal.
Protect the Adirondacks is urging the state to establish a 39,000-acre Upper Hudson River Wilderness Area along 22 miles of the river running between Newcomb and North River, in Essex and Hamilton counties.
The proposed area would encompass about 20,000 acres of forest the state already owns, and 19,000 acres of former Finch Pruyn Paper lands now owned by The Nature Conservancy.
The state will buy that land as part of its $49.8 million acquisition of 69,000 acres in the Adirondacks from The Nature Conservancy — but it isn't yet known when the land transactions will take place. Under the deal announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in August, the state has up to five years.
Once the land is acquired, the state Department of Environmental Conservation will decide with input from the Adirondack Park Agency and the public whether to classify it as Wild Forest — which allows some motorized access — or Wilderness, which is more restrictive.
Protect the Adirondacks is urging Wilderness classification for the lands along the upper Hudson.
"The creation of a new Wilderness Area that centers on 22 miles of the Hudson River would be a tremendous accomplishment for the state of New York," said Chuck Clusen, co-chairman of Protect. "Wild country and wild rivers grow fewer each year and a new Wilderness area for the Upper Hudson would provide permanent protection for 22 miles of one of the greatest rivers in America."
The proposed Wilderness would include the Essex Chain of Lakes, and shorelines of the Hudson, lower Cedar and Indian rivers. It would include the southern side of the Hudson Gorge, whose Class III and IV rapids attract thousands of rafters each year, most going on commercial guided tours.
The Wilderness designation would allow for more day use and camping, Protect officials said.

A team of surgeons at Johns Hopkins Hospital has performed the hospital's first successful bilateral arm transplant -- giving two new arms to Brendan Marrocco, an Iraq war veteran.Sad to say, but war is among the greatest promoters of medical innovation. I am skeptical that Sgt. Marrocco's replacement arms will ever work as well as the originals -- but even this has to be a big improvement over prosthetics. Wow.
One month after getting his two new arms, Marrocco tweeted on Jan. 18, "Ohh yeah today has been one month since my surgery and they already move a little."
Members of Marrocco's surgical team, led by Dr. W.P. Andrew Lee, were expected to give details today in Baltimore on exactly how the doctors did the rare transplant and prevented Marrocco's body from rejecting the new limbs.
Conservative. Idaho. Software engineer. Historian. Increasingly, frustrated with how the greed of a small number of lawyers is making life unreasonable for ordinary people.

Also please before you message me figure out what polyamory is.
I am not looking for a Primary relationship (by it's traditional definition)...just to put that out there right up front. I am polyamorous although not in a primary relationship at the moment. Eventually I would love to be in a long term committed relationship that is more day to day than I currently have.
I am happy to meet new friends and see where it goes from there.
I am also not exactly straight or bi.....I'm pansexual ( you fall in love with the person not the gender) I have been with both men and women but am slightly more to the male side.
I currently have one boyfriend who lives about two hours away he has a wife and small child.
I am very busy and enjoy my life that way. I am a part of two different communities and spend a lot of time out at events when I am not working. I am an introvert however and need alone time to recharge. I am everything from conservative to wild depending on the setting and the people I'm with.
I tend to take the road less traveled and it truly has made all the difference! I am a very logical person that believes in hard work. I almost never take the easy way out, in fact I have a bad habit of not even seeing the easy path sometimes it needs to be pointed out.
I am spiritual, a dancer, and i love to laugh
In the long term I am working towards buying a home to create my own home retreat centre. I also want to have foster children as I think it is something I can give to the world.
I enjoy taking care of both my body and mind with walking, meditating, and holistic eating habits.
Taking care of other peoples children.
Listening to animals.
Herding Cats (AKA:working with large groups).
and then how comfortable I am in my own skin/life.
Movies: Dead Poets Society, Laura Croft Tomb Raider, The Original Muppet Movie and The Dark Crystal, just to show all the contrasts.
Music: Jazz, blues, something to swing dance to. Although, I like any music with a story line.
Food: Chocolate dark and rich. With anything lemon coming right in behind.
2. Books
3. My cell phone
4. Pets
5. Hugs
6. Family
Although maybe not in order of importance.
PS....I can't see likes so just message instead ;)

Champs: Agathis Avengers (WElfs, AgP) vs. Read in Tooth and Claw (Necro, me)
With the wrestle ghoul and MB/tackle wight out of the game things were looking a little grim for Claw, but on the plus side there were around 200k in inducements to play around with. Normally I'd go for a wizard against WElfs due to their squishibility but lacking a wight I turned instead to Nekbrekerekh - his St4 and strip ball/break tackle would be handy, but the ace up his sleeve was juggs which looked pretty tasty against the plethora of wrestle on the Avengers.
Claw won the toss and chose to kick, hoping to hunt a few elfs down before they needed to worry about the ball too much. A perfect defence let Claw block up the WElfs asymmetric setup, though the ball landed deep enough that there was no chance of pressuring the thrower who recovered it. Rather than playing a blocking game the WElfs chose to dodge away then run through a hole in the centre of the field, clumping themselves together in an elfy knot with a lone catcher lurking on the far wing. Claw's response was predictable but effective - the lone catcher was marked while the knot was surrounded with both undead and evil intent, a wardancer getting KO'd in the process. Fearing for their own longevity the Avengers accepted Claw's invitation, blitzed the zombie marking the catcher away and made a passing touchdown - 1-0 to the WElfs on turn 2.
The Wardancer stayed down making it 11 v 10, all to the benefit of Claws incredibly subtle plan of "grind down the field killing everything then score on turn 8". Things went pretty well to begin with, the ball safely moved up the edge of the field before switching back to the middle on turn 5, though the AV9 wight was knocked out in the process (and stayed that way for the rest of the match). Here things came a little unstuck: Nekbrekerekh was downed allowing the elfs to mark the carrier. With the clock ticking Claw decided to go for a handoff play to the Ag4 wolf, but with a strip ball wardancer lurking nearby knocking her over was a priority. The other wolf couldn't manage this on either of his two dice frenzy hits, forcing a re-roll that finally did the job. Predictably this meant the handoff was dropped, spilling the ball behind the remains of the necro cage (all to the soundtrack of Claw's coach having a massive hissy fit on the sidelines). The elfs did their elf thing and grabbed it but couldn't run out of reach, allowing one of the wolves to race back and knock the catcher down on turn 7.
Here things got tricksy. The Ag4 wolf had been wrestled to the ground during the Avengers turn - he had enough move to get up and grab the ball but he needed 2 GFI's to get within reach of the endzone. The first ate a re-roll so rather than risk losing the ball altogether the wolf was left one square out of reach of a touchdown. Clicking on the players it seemed only a zombie could make it on turn 8, but there was a trap - the ghoul was within reach as well but had three players directly in front of him, making it look like he was a square short. With the wolf having sidestep the WElfs chose not to risk a blitz putting him within reach of scoring, but they didn't notice the ghoul either and contented themselves with blitzing the zombie up field and screening him. Grabbing their chance Claw went for the hand off to the ghoul and GFI's, all of which were passed without needing a re-roll - 1-1 at half time.
Two of the four knocked out elves recovered, making it 9 v 11 for Claw's second drive. Once again the plan was devastating in its subtlety ("smash elf, score at end"), and once again things went well to begin with. Claw caged up on the scrimmage, but when a wardancer and lineelf who'd been on the steroids (+2 MA, +1 Ag) tried to threaten the side they switched tack, knocked them both down, marched the cage back a few squares and gang fouled the wardancer out of the match. A succession of other fouls followed though none were as effective, leaving it 7 v 9 in Claw's favour by turn 15 thanks to a combination of KO's and sending offs (though a zombie and the treeman were off having a little match of their own well away from the others). By then the ball was caged near the sideline but still on the scrimmage, with the undead in control but unable to make a solid breakout through even the thinned elf lines. Claw had to make their move - a blitz cleared a route for the cage to move forwards while the rest of the team did their best to contain the remaining elfs, but being elfs their best was not enough. Time was running out for the Avengers too, so in desperation the remaining wardancer went for a leaping two against blitz on the carrying ghoul... and skulled out. The ghoul needed a re-roll to make the GFI to score but Nuffle was in a kindly mood and the 2+ was made on the second time of asking, making it 1-2 on turn 16. Crucially the MA10 line-elf stayed unconscious for the final kick off making a 1TTD practically impossible, leaving Claw with the win when the final whistle went.
This was without a doubt one of the tensest games of BB I've ever played. With insanely fast elfs lurking all over every move I made had to be painstakingly considered, and even then I managed to spill the ball once. That touchdown in the first half is what turned the game: it was unlucky that the initial move failed but lucky that the slight of hand with the ghoul worked. As always AgP was a pleasure to play against both tactically and personally, even to the extent of sympathising when I was throwing my toys out of the pram over the failed hand off. A solid match for Claw then, with the two touchdowns and MVP enough to level up the ghoul and get him sidestep. 6 points up with one game to play and the champs is ours to throw away - all we have to do is not lose to Mr Pier's chaos. Who beat Claw 2-1 just six games ago. Oh dear.

Last chance to join the ReOpen's first season! We're one team down at the moment.
I'll be dropping out after this season, Z in the speadsheet, thanks for the games you lovely lot!
In other news, the Black Bombers take the Division D title by beating SWG's ghouls, wights, etc. 4-0, giving them a completely clean sheet this season and their first ever legitimate promotion. Yes, that's right, the little green guys beat the undead horrors 4-0, after defeating both lizards and high elves in an unbroken run.
LowKey - sorry to see you go!
Gentlebeasts defended their champs title against NieA7's Read in tooth and claw.
The beasts won 2-0 in a match where I pretty much felt in control the whole time, helped immensely by being a couple of players over throughout most of the match and poor block dice for the necro-team. First half the necromantic attack stalled out and I retrieved the ball in the middle of the half, scoring on turn 8. Second half was a bashy drive upwards and score on turn 14 or 15.
Guess this team will take another season in the divisions :-)
Yeah, it was horrible. Apparently something like 38% of my block dice were successful, while my armour was sub-par and the Chaos were on fire - I lost at a player each turn for the first four turns of each half. Total wash out from my point of view, nothing really worked for me and nothing really failed for MrPier (though not least because he played a very tight positional game behind his wildly successful block game). This is the second time that's happened against the Gentlebeasts: their comeuppance will be dreadful to behold when it catches up with them...
Well played MrPier, congrats on defending your title!
Hope to see you back some time LowKey!
Congrats MrP on back to back victories! Real men do it in threes.....

hi jclooth,
i didn't hear from you in the subforum or steam yet. so it looks like you are kinda busy. so can you just give a short reply if there is a day where we could play (no friday, and saturday is also problematic for me)?

In case of forum degradation pull cord.
The Flaming Balls were up against Axler's Elfy MooPoo last night for the div 2 decider, with Axler needing a win to take the division. Come turn 16 things were not looking good: some excellent defending from Axler and an inability to cause enough injuries had left the gloriously-hatted Balls 1-0 down, and to score they needed: a 2D block to knock down a (DT sidestep) wardancer; a BT bull to make a 2+ dodge then 3 GFIs (with sure feet); then the (+AG, dodge) ball carrier to make a 3+ dodge, another 3+ dodge, a 2+ dodge, and a 3+ pass to the bull... in the rain, so the catch was a 5+. I mean, I had a reroll, but still... it looked like I had no chance of scoring. I gave it a go, though, and it turned out that all I had to do... was bolieve!
Didn't even need the reroll.
Following that total elfy moopoo on my part (about 16% chance with the reroll), Axler tried for a 1TTD but an elf failed a dodge and strained his groin: a triumphant 1-1 victory to me, and a return to the champs for the Flaming Balls.
MD3 for the Ogres was a 3-1 loss to BigCs woodies. Didnt really harbour much hope of winning it in honesty and so it proved. BigC scored early then the Ogre drive was disrupted by some elfy shenanigans. Thanks to a few boneheads I couldnt protect the ball very well in the first turn of my second drive and elfies recovered the ball and scored again. Their numbers were being pruned reasonably well though so I was eventually able to get a consolation Ogre TD at the end. I think tier 2 was a step beyond this team at the moment!!Global Warping (Skaven) - RPS Divisions of Death Champions Seasons 34-36
Any chance of a validation in Div A? It looks like I've somehow managed to win the league and got a couple of levels in the process. I think I'll hold off on rebooting while this current change in form continues. I'm also celebrating getting through a whole three matches without having a Wight die on me!
Alright everyone - after the bank holiday weekend, I've realised we're supposed to have finished the season! So... let's wrap up, a couple of games don't have scores in the sheet so get them played tonight or tomorrow or they'll be defaulted! We'll then get the draw going....Steam, PSN, Xbox Live: Groovychainsaw. Speak 'RPS' and enter.

Why does my baby have red cheeks?
From my experience with our babies, red cheeks can be a sign of teething, something in the soap or detergent you are using, possibly a sign of being too warm or a sign of being feverish . Other reasons could be eczema or baby acne (which goes away after a few months, usually late in the first year).
Can you think of other reasons?
Shelia took the words right out of my mouth. Abbey had Fifths disease with a side order of Influenza type A last year. Fun times.
My daughter had a reaction to a formula I tried her on that started with red cheeks and progressed to her lips, cheeks, and nose being chapped and peeling before we realized what was causing it and switched her back to what she was used to.
Moms Expertise06/08/14
All of my daughters had red cheeks from teething or an early sign of eczema
my baby has it and the doc said it was from teething from all the drooling and him rubbing his fists all over them... Some Eucerin lotion with aquaphor over it to lock in moisture works wonders.
I always know when my 7 year old is coming down with something and how bad it will be because of his cheeks. He gets red cheeks with every illness the redder they are and the larger area covered the worse the illness is. He has always been that way.
My daughters cheeks get red when she had anything with dairy in it.
I am not all that sure when it comes to babies other than African American which I am but your guess is as good as mine, I have just thought that theses babes were either experiencing a sudden change with their temps or maybe feverish, with my baby boy Noey I would see these changes ( he is African with Italian descent) whenever I would introduce him to a new solid.
Moms Expertise06/10/14
Interesting. We've never had Fifths's disease or hand, food and mouth or rosacea, but all our children had red cheeks at some point or other.
my daughter never had red cheeks from anything... but she had baby acne little on her face...
My son has eczema really bad, beyond red cheeks. His were crusty and sore, he's on an extensive routine to just keep it in check right now. But his poor little head is really bad still.
This may be a diathesis or an allergy on any product, such as strawberry, chocolate or citrus fruits. Certainly it is better to ask your pediatrician, but you can try to give Klaritin for three days before going to bed.

1001 Nights Persian Cuisine
Inspiration from Iran
The dishes at 1001 Nights Persian Cuisine are based on the family recipes that owner Ali Reza Morshed ate growing up in Iran, inspiring him to land a career in the restaurant business before deciding to open his own venture. With the flavors of home as his inspiration, the kitchen makes traditional specialties such as mizra ghasemi—smoked roasted eggplant mixed with garlic and tomatoes—and myriad kabobs skewered and charbroiled to perfection. The chefs use only halal-certified meats and fresh, local ingredients to prepare their traditional dishes, which also include ample vegetarian options.
Views of the Night Sky
The restaurant sprawls into three dining rooms—which seat a total of 350 people—elegantly appointed with white tablecloths and sheer white draperies. Above, a recessed dome is painted with a fresco of the night sky, and a chandelier hangs down from the center. The setting's floor-to-ceiling windows offer an even more realistic view into the evening air. Though the atmosphere here is typically elegant and serene, the mood is livelier on Friday and Saturday nights, which host Persian music performances.

The Governing Council was a Trabe governmental organization.
In 2372, a group of Trabe which included the governing council was attacked and captured in space by the Kazon-Pommar. In the following days, most of the council members were killed by the Kazon. By the time the group was freed, Governor Mabus was the only remaining living member. (VOY: "Alliances")
Since the whole council save one was said to be among nine killed Trabe, it can be deduced that the council had less than nine members.

London, June 28 (ANI): Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has appealed to his coach Rafael Benitez to sign one of his friends, in order to help Liverpool win back the Premier League title from Manchester United.
"We finished four points behind United but we are improving. We are getting more points every season. I know that every year we can finish with more points. I have recommended the names to Benitez and I hope we have the money," News of the World quoted Torres, as saying.
The Spaniard insisted the Reds need players like David Silva, Juan Manuel Mata or David Villa alongside him if they have to end their 20-year drought of titles.
"We have some very good players but maybe we need other players. I hope Liverpool will bring people like Silva, Mata or Villa. These are small players with quality like United had with Carlos Tevez and also with Paul Scholes," Torres said.
The striker is confident that one of these players could make the difference for Liverpool, as draws in some crucial matches had cost them the championship last time.
"We lost a lot of points against teams in the middle of the table. And we have to improve on that because if we can get 10 more points at home I think we can win the Premier League," Torres said
Torres, who missed major chunk of the league last season as a result of injury, had scored 14 league goals as Liverpool managed to finish four points adrift of United. (ANI)

How to accomplish a GOAL
1. Start working toward your goals today. Ask yourself, "What can I do today to get one step ahead, however small, closer to achieving my goals?" Write it down and start now. Taking the first step is arguably the most important step. This will make quitting both personally disappointing and strategically harder. In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, "Do one thing every day that scares you."
2.When you set goals, think about setting SMART goals. SMART is an acronym and mnemonic that provides a framework for thinking about goals.[1] Educators and coaches like to use this framework because it forces us to sit down and really design our goals intelligently so that they're ultimately easier to accomplish. SMART stands for:
- S – Specific (or Significant).
- M – Measurable (or Meaningful).
- A – Attainable (or Action-Oriented).
- R – Relevant (or Rewarding).
- T – Time-bound (or Trackable).
3.In keeping with SMART, make sure your goal is specific and definable. A definable goal might be something like "I'd like to lose 20 pounds in three months" or "I'd like to win a Scrabble tournament." Specific, definable goals help you stay on track and let you know they're feasible.
- An unspecific goal, like "I'd like to become a better human being" is so vague as to be practically useless. You could become a "better human being" by cleaning up the dishes or by solving world peace. See what we mean? Instead of thinking about really general goals, stay specific. After all, if you set yourself a goal ofvolunteering for Thanksgiving, there's a good chance you've become a better human being.
4.Make sure your goal is measurable. How will you know if your goal is accomplished? Will it be accomplished when you have a feeling, which can be unreliable, or will it be accomplished when a threshold is surpassed or a day takes place?
5.Ask yourself, "Is my goal attainable?" Is there an action involved in the goal? This step is less about making sure the goal is theoretically possible and more about making sure the goal is personally practical.
6.Try to set a goal that is relevant or rewarding to you personally. Most people set goals that are inherently relevant to their personal needs and situations. People who are overlooked make goals to stand out. People who are overweight make goals to get trim. But every once in a while, people make goals that they aren't personally committed to, but which they think they should be.
7.Make sure your goal is time-bound. In other words, set yourself a deadline for meeting the goal. If you set yourself a deadline, your urgency increases monumentally. Without a deadline, you're just kind of along for the ride, paddling downstream, maddeningly unaware of where the finish line is.
1.Break down your goal into chunks or pieces. Setting attainable but ambitious goals is a great thing. Lots of people want to lose weight, stop procrastinating, write a book, fall in love, travel the world, and play guitar.[3] But all of these goals are pretty daunting taken alone. To make the accomplishment of the goal much easier, try to break down th
2.Brainstorm ideas. Are there different ways to reach your goal? Write everything down that you can think of in three minutes, no matter how silly or impossible it may seem. For example, you could go to acting school, or maybe you could land a spot in a reality show that would get you started.e goal into more manageable chunks.
3.Visualize. Close your eyes and imagine yourself accomplishing your goals. Where are you? How did you get there? How do you feel? Do this often. Don't get swayed easily with the noise and happenings going on outside. Put your attention on what you are trying to achieve. Remember the goal, and you will have control over the discomforts and difficulties. A good way to visualize is to practice self-hypnosis.
4.Read inspirational stories or quotes to help you get started. There's nothing quite like a warm kick in the pants from someone who knows what they're talking about. Reading about the struggles and successes of other people can be a huge motivator to get you going or a huge maintainer to keep morale high.
5.Ask for guidance. No one can tell you exactly what you should do to achieve your goal, but one of the best sources for guidelines is to ask those who have done what you hope to achieve.
6.Seek help. Find the information, skills and knowledge that you need from other people, books, and audio or video programs. Speed up your learning process by emulating what other successful people have done. You save time and get results faster.
7.Be positive. Always believe that you will achieve your goal. As soon as you stop believing, you have already failed.
1.Draw on all your past achievements that are relevant to your goal. No matter how small you perceive your achievements, list them anyway. It could be something small, such as joining a healthy eating mailing list, to coming home from work late, yet preparing a tasty nutritious meal for your family in under 30 minutes.
2.Leverage the power of small wins. Bring to mind the small wins you have achieved in your life. Let them give you the feel and the motivation of a conqueror. Let these motivate you to set higher and hitherto unreachable goals, and the courage to achieve them. This will help you win many a battle in your life and ultimately the war.
3.Learn from mistakes. Making mistakes should be a subject at school to teach all children how to learn from them, instead of trying to avoid them. In the pursuit of a goal, you are likely to make some mistakes. Don't see them as bad or get angry. They are important to correct you and to lead you to success.
- In fact, make as many mistakes as you can, and then try not to make the same mistake twice. Nothing teaches a lesson like a big fat mistake, whether it's acting buffoonish in front of a cute girl, thinking you can run a marathon after a night of inspired drinking, or asking for your job back after the new one fell through. As long as you internalize the lessons of your mistakes, keeping them in your psyche as you trudge along like a soldier to the battlefield, you'll win ultimately
4.Celebrate benchmarks or milestones. A benchmark is something you can use to measure your progress and know you're on track.
5.Listen to your internal dialogue. What you are saying inside affects you physically, emotionally and mentally. Is your defense system inside trying to make you stick to your past, limiting beliefs and perceptions? Take over and challenge your inner critics. Monitor any excuses you might be making as they relate to your goal.
6.Be passionate. Striving toward a goal without passion is like a fire which slowly runs out of fuel to burn. Get excited; you don't always have to be in love what you are doing, especially if fulfilling the goal is a hassle and reaching the goal is the fun part. But you should always be able to pinpoint the underlying passion that drove you to start meeting the goal in the first place.
7.Revisit, evaluate, and if necessary, adjust your goals. Keep a written record of your goals in a place where you'll remember to read them every day. They'll change and adjust over time as your life does, so keep them up-to-date.
8.Make contingency plans. Never forget about the problems that might come up on the way, and prepare for them. Positive thinking is important, but preparedness is better than being shocked or devastated when obstacles appear.
9.Consider new opportunities and options that come your way. Sometimes, things have a way of unintentionally leading you exactly where you want to go.
10.Persevere. Now that you have the momentum going, don't let it stop! Some steps may seem less exciting than others seem, but make sure to stick to your plan until the end! Avoid distractions and stay focused. Imagine how meaningful your goal is going to be when you can safely say you've achieved it!

New York City announced reforms this week following the death of a 7-year-old girl allegedly killed by her stepfather. Some experts are voicing concerns about the city's emphasis on keeping families together. Cindy Rodriguez of member station WNYC reports.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
We're going to look now at breakdowns in two different institutions. In a moment, we'll hear about problems in the criminal justice system in one Californian county. First, we have a report on the child welfare system in New York City.
Officials there announced reforms this week, following the death of a 7-year-old girl, allegedly killed by her stepfather. Now, some experts are voicing concerns about the City's emphasis on keeping families together. From member station WNYC, Cindy Rodriguez reports.
CINDY RODRIGUEZ reporting:
Since the late 90's, New York City has tried to keep children with their biological parents by providing struggling families with services like counseling and parenting classes. Most of the work is contracted out to nonprofit agencies that are supposed to prevent child abuse before it happens, or at least stop it before it gets worse.
Ellen O'Hara supervises prevention workers at Good Shepherd Services, which counsels families who've been investigated by child protective caseworkers.
Ms. ELLEN O'HARA (Bronx Director, Good Shepherd Services, New York City): Over the years, the paperwork has kind of increased, the caseload has increased, what you have to work on with the family has increased. You're often the only one working with a family.
RODRIGUEZ: O'Hara says she's uncomfortable with the number of high-risk cases referred to her office. A 50-year old woman with serious psychiatric issues and a drug problem stands out in her mind. The woman had ten children, some had already been taken away from her, and others were adults. One six-year-old was in her care; that child as found alone, in Manhattan, by Police. O'Hara says child protective caseworkers investigating the mother told her counselors to provide parenting classes for the woman.
Ms. O'HARA: It's just so, mess, the complexity of this. And I was really upset. It just really felt like we were by ourselves being given, like, a loaded gun.
RODRIGUEZ: Between January and October of 2005, city child protective caseworkers substantiated about 13,400 reports of abuse. More than 30% of those families were referred to programs like O'Hara's, and 12% to 15% were sent to foster care. Complaints that cases are too high risk have been echoed by a group representing all major nonprofits in the city that provide prevention services. O'Hara says these organizations need city child protective caseworkers to stay involved.
Ms. O'HARA: We need to take them with lots of other supports in place. Where we're not the only ones monitoring, are they going for their medication, are they going for their drug treatment, are they going for their psychiatric appointments?
RODRIGUEZ: O'Hara says city child protective caseworkers should force families to attend programs, because right now, a family's participation is generally voluntary. Marsha Robinson-Lawry, the head of Children's Rights, Inc., a national child advocacy organization, says most prevention programs across the country work closely with agencies that investigate child abuse.
Ms. MARSHA ROBINSON-LAWRY (Executive Director, Children's Rights, Inc.): In most of the systems, there really is a link, and there's continued accountability with regard to whether a family is cooperating, because sometimes, of course, a mistake is made, and the system needs to know that very quickly.
RODRIGUEZ: The bigger question, though, is whether child protective caseworkers are overlooking serious problems, and are sending families to prevention programs, rather then placing them in foster care. The number of children in foster care has dropped by nearly 50% since the year 2000. Robinson-Lawry and other experts say city officials who tout this as a major accomplishment are sending the wrong message to child protective investigators working out in the field.
John Maddingly is the Commissioner of the Administration for Children's Services, the city agency that oversees the child's welfare system.
Mr. JOHN MADDINGLY (Commissioner, Administration for Children's Services, New York City): I am convinced, and I've been here sixteen months, that there has been no direction given from the top of this agency to emphasize one decision over the other.
RODRIGUEZ: But to be sure that no child is currently in danger, Maddingly says a review of every open case will help determine whether child protective caseworkers have veered too far toward offering services to families, instead of removing children from their homes.

I have noticed that when I am logged in as the admin, and I hover over my username there IS an option to change the Avatar. However, when I create a new user account and login, and hover over the username, there is NOT an option of "Avatar" for the user to change their avatar from the default. It simply isn't there.?? I've created several new users, and none have the option of changing the Avatar. Am I missing something simple?
Is there a setting in the ACP that I should be changing so users can change their Avatar, or is this a different issue?

29 June 2016, Male'; President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom has sent a message of sympathy to the President of Turkey, His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, following the attacks on the Istanbul Ataturk Airport.
The President's message reads as follows:
"It was with shock and outrage that I learned of the attacks on the Istanbul Ataturk Airport, causing the loss of innocent lives and injuring many.

Hi There,
I have been using spiceworks for some time, up until recently everything has been fine, I am now having issues getting spiceworks to create tickets from emails.
My setup is as follows:
Web Server: Server 2003 running spiceworks
Email Server: Exchange 2003 enterprise on Server 2003 std
Clients: XP SP2 w/ ie/firefox makes no difference
When you send emails to our dedicated spiceworks email address the email is moved to the deleted items folder, but no ticket is created.
Additionally, it seems that when sending items there is no issue, when testing I get a test email also.
My troubleshooting steps are as follows:
Restarted the web server & services
Restarted Exchange Services
Restarted/Changed clients
I will focus on what I have done in email settings (screenshot attached - I have whited out organisational info ;)-
Display Information: Nothing changed here, thought to be unrelated, also that I need these addresses to be the same so that when people "reply" to the spiceworks messages they are entered into the ticket right?
Outgoing Email: has always worked, I get the confirmation tests every time, but these are the settings I've tried:
protocol: exchange or smtp
server exchange: http:/
server smtp: servername OR servername.fqdn OR ipaddress
no https as we dont have our exchange on secure (I don't like it either!)
Username (I have tried 2 different accounts): username or domain\username or firstname.lastname@example.com - mixed success with this, some wont authenticate and others just have the same problem
Incoming Email: this is where the issue lies, I originally had this mailbox open on my client as well to watch the activity - when you click "refresh tickets" or when the usual refresh comes around, the mail is moved to deleted items in the mailbox, nothing else (including being marked as read) happens, on the mailbox or in spiceworks
protocol: exchange or pop (no imap)
server exchange: http:/
server pop: servername OR servername.fqdn OR ipaddress
Username (I have tried 2 different accounts) : username or domain\username or firstname.lastname@example.com - same mixed success as incoming.
I have also gone into AD, messed around with various mailbox rights from the user account that spiceworks is running under and not much more success.
I have searched the forum and google for answers, I can see similar questions but no answers.
I am at the point where I may just reinstall spiceworks, but I am now also trying to see if there is a way to export my tickets in a way that they will be importable when I reinstall. I have had a quick look around for CSV imports but no success. Is reinstall my only option, if so how to I keep my current open tickets/comments etc?
Much appreciated
*EDIT* I have also tried disabling/enabling mail temporarily
AND I have tried another email account, which has exact same symptoms
This topic was created during version 4.1.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Ahhh you post is way to long for me to read, i got another 40 odd to go though...
Have you
- Cleared the email settings using the clear buttong
- refreshed the screen
- entered again
- saved
- tried again
- Used pop or imap insted of exchange
- running the latest version of spiceworks 4.1
- do you get the test emails?
Dec 3, 2009 at 4:32 UTC
Ah sorry, I have spent a week troubleshooting this....
to answer your questions:
Just tried your clear - refresh - enter info - save method to no avail.
I have tried to use pop, exactly the same results.
I am using latest version of spiceworks, we use auto update feature and it just applied update yesterday.
I do get the test emails without problem.
also, from production.log:
Manual "Refresh Tickets"
[2009-12-04 08:41:19] Processing TicketsController#check_email (for 127.0.0.1 at 2009-12-04 08:41:19)

auto checks are same result with different IP.
we use exchange 2003, so no autodiscovery.
Dec 6, 2009 at 6:13 UTC

Try using pop rather than exchange
Dec 6, 2009 at 3:38 UTC
Pop Gives the same results :(
Dec 6, 2009 at 3:45 UTC

I would send your logs to spiceworks they will be able to help you out
Dec 8, 2009 at 6:31 UTC
Still having issues even after most recent minor update, I have been trying to find out any support contact method other than asking a question on these forums and I simply cant see it?
*EDIT* More testing:
-Cleared settings AGAIN since update, not much progress.
-the emails come to me when I save the settings, and if i REPLY to that message it magically appears in the helpdesk tickets, I have checked no duplicate names/emails exist anything like this account.
-apart from the test your settings email, no emails actually get sent to the end user if I close tickets.
I managed to come accross the CSV import method, to answer 1 of my own questions in the original post. I am now clearing all settings, rebooting the server and trying again.
If this fails, I will be reinstalling spiceworks and hoping for the best :(

Send your logs to Spiceworks

Did you get a fix?
Dec 13, 2009 at 5:52 UTC
In the process of uploading the log files, I was away from work late last week :)
Dec 14, 2009 at 6:41 UTC
Under Settings > Email Settings > Advanced settings > Email
Ignore Emails Subject
Ignore Emails Body
Ignore Emails Full Text
All of these had "off" as a value in their field, so any email containing the word "off" (aka almost all of them) was being ignored.
This setting wasnt modified by me so I suspect it was a bug during upgrade... hopefully any users who run into this issue will come accross this thread and find the resolution here.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

we decided to watch Hotel Transylvania 2. The day before the movie, I asked him if we should meet in the mall. and he asked me how I was planning to go and I replied by train. He offered me a ride but I declined and so he said that he would meet me in the station.
When we met in the station the next day, it took us some time to get a smooth conversation going because we were both shy and took us some time to actually plan an outing together (he only asked for my number the day I suggested a movie). We do not know each other before this and only played the staring game for 3 months.
So once we reached the mall, we talked... laughed and all of that. I asked him the price of the movie but he said he forgot. And told me I dont have to pay back. But then I offered to pay for the popcorn... however, the lady asked me if I have small change and I didn't at that time and so he said its ok he will pay for it. then I offered to buy lunch however my bill tore in my purse and so I COULDNT PAY!! T. T i just hope he doesn't think im dong this on purpose.
anyways.. during the movie.. he didn't seem nervous like how he usually was and was laughing and talking to me during some parts of the movie.
We shared food during lunch and then continued to walk and talk for the rest of the date.
when it was time to go home... we crossed the road together as he parked his car in my neighbourhood (he always does before going to work even) but didn't walk me home because he had to meet up with his friends and head to a wedding dinner after that although there was still time in between.
Everything went well.. but honestly, I didn't feel the same sparks as i did before this date. Should I ask or hint for a second one?
After all of that, he didn't text me back until today. Its been maybe 15 hours since the date and he hasn't said anything. Is this a bad sign? Why do you think he hasnt? I'm 19 and he is 27
Is it a bad sign if he doesn't send me a text after our first date :(?

Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
It has only been 15 hours, so I wouldn't worry about it. Give it a few days and see if he asks you out for another date.00|00|0
im so stressed and heartbroken about it right now though because the internet says that he will text back right away if he enjoyed the date and during the date.. he hasn't mention about the next one. like we should do this together.. that together
Every guy is different, though. If you haven't heard back from him within a week or so, he's probably not interested. Until then, you just don't know.

Having spent many years trying to keep his annual general meetings as quick and painless as possible, retail icon Gerry Harvey was forced to endure an hour-long wait while the votes were counted on Tuesday for the Harvey Norman remuneration report poll. He easily survived the count with just 5.63 per cent of votes opposed. Already on one strike, if the vote had gone against the report, the board would have faced a spill motion.
Over the years, the feisty chairman has been able to limit the show to as little as 10 minutes, barely giving shareholders time to find their seats in the City Tattersalls Club room. With wife and Harvey Norman director Katie Page at his side, whom he referred to as Ally McBeal (the lawyer played by Calista Flockhart in the 1990's television show, renowned for wearing very short skirts to the courtroom) at her first meeting more than a decade ago, Gerry gave a few broadsides on Tuesday to those pesky analysts, who had the temerity to question his business and directors.
Harvey told shareholders they were being "conned" by analysts who didn't have any "skin in the game". The Australian Shareholders Association, who voted against the report, were not spared the wrath of Gerry. "We do not pay our directors too much money," executive chairman Gerry Harvey told the meeting in Sydney. "If you earn a million dollars at Harvey Norman, you earn it. You don't just get it."
Thorney silence
In Melbourne, the investor talkfest for Thorney Opportunities also had its own hecklers from the back stalls. With a full house at the meeting room at 333 Collins Street, during chairman Alex Waislitz's address, his mother-in-law Jeannie Pratt was heard by others at the rear of the room to tell the chairman to "speak up".
The AGM also included presentations from other companies in which Thorney invests, including listed narcotics grower Tasmanian Poppy Industries. After a snappy presentation from TPI CEO Jarrad Ritchie, Mr Waislitz said he had asked him to bring along some showbags, "but he thought that was not a good idea". It was not known if Mrs Pratt heard the joke and shared in the jocularity.
Topping out
Lendlease had its own Utopia moment when the chief builder, Steve McCann, donned the hard hat and admired the 10-metre high tree on the roof of the 39-storey building, for the topping out of Tower 3 at Barangaroo South.
The NSW Premier, Mike Baird, whose collection of hard hats is growing given the construction boom, was also on hand to admire the view across the Sydney harbour.
Sticking trees on roofs follows the ancient Scandinavian tradition that signals the building has reached its height. McCann was particularly pleased as Tower 3 will the new home for KPMG, Lendlease and Servcorp, as well as the new David Jones store in the food court.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Gina Rinehart purchased a villa in Phuket. Her son, John Hancock, owns the property.
Mrs Rinehart has also clarified that her recent trip to India was for work purposes and that the villa in Singapore is owned by her company, Hancock Prospecting.

Peter Blake
9 februari- 24 mars
Painter of urban realist subjects, and often referred to as the Godfather of British Pop Art, Peter Blake set out to make art as accessible and pervasive as that of pop music. To this end, Blake's paintings and collages embrace the emblems and iconography of popular culture, and he was the first artist to include youth culture idols in British high art. Best known for his record sleeve cover for The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Blake has also designed record sleeve covers for Paul Weller (Stanley Road), Band Aid (Do They Know It's Christmas), and most recently a greatest hits album for Oasis, and the John Peel tribute album. A fan of iconic legends and the ever-expanding practices of imitation and reproducibility, Blake's "popular art" continues to be a highly influential and enduring presence.

I know I should likely be writing something of substance here, but I just keep looking at the photo going "OMG GIANT SLOTH HUGGING THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING!".
Now you know why I don't have a day job. I can't be trusted around other people.
That said, you can own this tee in both men and women's cuts. I sort of want to wear it and then have a sloth hug me. Slothception!
