Wake and District is honored to be "Raleigh's Pipe Band". Since our formation in 2006, members of the band have participated in numerous City functions including Police and Fire graduation and award services, City Council ceremonies — and other stately events hosted by the City of Oaks. We're privileged to be in service to North Carolina's Capital City; our home town.
Partnerships are formed between a number of individuals, agencies or organizations with a shared interest. There is usually an overarching purpose to work together on a range of specific objectives. Wake & District is proud of all of our partnerships established over the years who support our mission to honor our fallen comrades and promote cultural heritage and enrich our community by providing traditional Bagpipe and Drum music .
While our supporters do include all of our family, friends and co-workers — we would like to point out just a few businesses and organizations who continue to support our aims and objectives:
- The City of Raleigh
- Tir Na nOg Irish Pub
- Raleigh Fire Department
- Raleigh Police Department
- Wake County Sheriff's Office
- North Carolina State Highway Patrol
- USO of North Carolina
Partnerships are often formed from existing networks or where there is a history of collaborative work. However, there are circumstances where it is important to invite new partners to the table and Wake & District is always willing to work with others. We continue to seek out strategic partnerships which can bring together key agencies and organizations to identify long term priorities to sustain and improve our band – and the mission we serve. Through community planning strategic partnerships develop a sustainable community strategy where, by working together, we can make a bigger difference.

Property Taxes
By Saturday Most Floridians Will Satisfy Tax Burden
By WILLIAM E. GIBSON, Washington Bureau Chief
May 4, 1990
WASHINGTON -- Here`s one way to look at your tax burden: If you are an average Floridian, every dime you have earned from New Year`s Day up to this week is just enough to pay all of your federal, state and local tax obligations for the whole year. Put another way, various tax-collectors take the equivalent of your earnings from two hours and 40 minutes of each eight-hour work day. These figures come from the Tax Foundation, a conservative non-profit research group that regularly grouses about taxes.
Report: Baby boomers moving to Florida for low taxes
By Donna Gehrke-White and Sun Sentinel
June 17, 2013
Baby boomers are moving out of high-tax states in favor of Florida that has no state income tax, according to a new analysis by West Palm Beach-based Newsmax magazine in its June issue. The magazine calls it a "new wave of migrating boomers, many of whom bring with them substantial wealth and means. " It's boosting Florida's economy -- while creating hardships on states such as California that has imposed new taxes to pay for services. Newsmax quotes a Pennsylvania business man who said he was able to buy in Florida twice the home he could afford in Philadelphia -- and pay less in property taxes.
Corporate tax rate:
Administration hurts business
Noelle Nikpour
September 26, 2010
The United States is near the top of the industrialized world in one area where it should be near the bottom. Corporate tax rates here are the second highest among members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group made up of most of the world's biggest industrialized economies. According to a 2009 report from the Tax Foundation, the United States' rate of more than 39 percent ranks second only to Japan and is almost 13 percentage points higher than the group's average of 26.5 percent.
Is Government's Tax Bite Too Much Or Just Right?
By DAN FREEDMAN Hearst Newspapers
April 16, 1998
To hear the Tax Foundation tell it, not since the building of the pyramids have a people shouldered such a heavy burden. Not stone blocks, of course, but taxes. As last-minute filers scurried to mail boxes and post offices with their returns Wednesday, the foundation issued its annual report on the date of Tax Freedom Day. This year, it declared, May 10 will be the day when most Americans will have earned enough income to pay their federal, state and local taxes. The foundation, started in 1937 by business leaders and supported mainly by donations from executives in corporate tax departments, arrived at May 10 by dividing the total of federal, state and local taxes by the total of individuals' income.
Tighten Up On Those Tax Reins
April 30, 1985
IMAGINE LIVING in a country with a tax system so confiscatory and punitive that you would have to work from Jan. 1 to April 30 and turn over every dime you earned to the government just to pay all your taxes each year. If that idea sounds preposterous or intolerable to you, if you think Americans wouldn`t stand still for it, you`re wrong -- they already do. According to the economists of the privately funded Tax Foundation, Tax Freedom Day this year is today. It`s the theoretical day on which the average American worker stops working for the government, paying state, local and national taxes, and starts working for himself or herself.
Inflation, Taxes To Take Extra $362
By LESLIE A. WILLIAMS, Business Writer
September 23, 1991
What can you do with $362? You can make a monthly car payment, pay off a few household bills or buy a Super Nintendo unit and even get a couple of games to go with it. But if you`re a member of the American family -- two full-time earners and two dependent children -- there will be $362 dollars less to spend. That`s how much more federal taxes and inflation will take out of the typical family`s budget this year than they did last year, according to the Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation.
Candidates minimize party's role
Kingsley Guy Commentary
March 19, 2008
Having grown up in Ohio, I was more than a bit interested in Hillary Clinton's and Barack Obama's rhetoric as they campaigned in the Buckeye State prior to its March 4 primary. If ever there was more shameless pandering to a special interest, in this case the state's unions, I can't think of one. The candidates' populist prattle in opposition to North American Free Trade Agreement, and liberalized trade in general, might have won them some friends among blue collar voters in Ohio, but it has alienated plenty of voters in other states, including Florida.
Tax Bite At Its Lowest In 40 Years
By GLENN KESSLER The Washington Post
March 26, 2000
For all but the wealthiest Americans, the federal income tax burden has shrunk to the lowest level in four decades, according to a series of studies by liberal and conservative tax experts, the Clinton administration and two arms of the Republican-controlled Congress. Each of the studies slices the data in different ways, but the bottom line is the same: Most Americans this year will have to fork over less than 10 percent of their income to Uncle Sam when they file federal income taxes.
Sales tax holiday: Are they really good for consumers?
Harriet Johnson Brackey and Sun Sentinel Columnist
July 30, 2010
Florida's back-to-school sales tax holiday begins in two weeks. But will the three-day tax break mean South Florida shoppers get a good deal? And do sales tax holidays provide a real boost to the economy? Maybe not, says the non-partisan Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based research group. "Our bottom line is that these are just political gimmicks," said economist Mark A. Robyn of the Tax Foundation. A recent foundation study examined tax holidays that now take place in 18 states and concluded that they don't give real benefits to consumers.
Florida not only state revolting against rising taxes
By Scott Wyman Staff writer
April 18, 2007
In one YouTube video, an elderly woman in Pennsylvania explains how she lost her home because she couldn't afford her taxes. Cartoon characters in another clip mock a New Jersey city official for telling tax critics to move out of town. Florida is far from alone in public outrage over property taxes. Years of rapidly rising real estate values have ignited a tax revolt across the nation. Battles are raging from Idaho to Texas to Vermont over whether to cut property taxes, cap government spending and change how homes and businesses are assessed.

The Ramones, comprising Johnny Ramone (John Cummings, 8 October 1948, Long Island, New York, USA, d. 15 September 2004, Los Angeles, California, USA; guitar), Dee Dee Ramone (b. Douglas Colvin, 18 September 1952, Fort Lee, Virginia, USA, d. 5 June 2002, Hollywood, California, USA; bass/vocals) and Joey Ramone (b. Jeffrey Hyman, 19 May 1951, New York City, New York, USA, d. 15 April 2001, New York City, New York, USA; drums), made their debut at New Yorks Performance Studio on 30 March 1974. Two months later manager Tommy Ramone (b. Thomas Erdelyi, 29 January 1952, Budapest, Hungary) replaced Joey on drums, who then switched to vocals. The quartet, named the Ramones from a misappropriation of Paul McCartneys original stage name, Ramon, later secured a residency at the renowned CBGBs club where they became one of the citys leading proponents of punk rock.
Released in 1976, the fever-paced Ramones was a startling first...

On the other hand, PRONicaragua occupied the first place in the SEO category and obtained a special mention for its website – which was recently completely renewed – due to its design and ease of navigation.
"Proexport Colombia and PRONicaragua have risen to the first spots, leaving behind a considerable space from the rest of the agencies", highlighted the study, which can be downloaded in Geovadis's website.
In terms of score, the first five positions of the 2014 OMIX were Proexport Colombia, PRONicaragua, PROESA El Salvador, Uruguay XXI and ProEcuador.
The study also reveals that "surprisingly, some of the economic development agencies of larger countries with more resources such as Argentina, Mexico or Brazil, occupy positions relatively low in the ranking."
PRONicaragua is the official investment and export promotion agency of the Government of Nicaragua, founded in 2002. The continuous support of the government has allowed the agency to obtain excellent results in the past few years. Additionally, in 2012, the World Bank recognized PRONicaragua as the world's top investment facilitator, becoming the first developing country to do so. The agency achieved best-practice standards in website performance and response to investor inquiries.

|[jira] Updated: (LUCENE-1630) Mating Collector and Scorer on doc Id orderness
|Wed, 17 Jun 2009 08:12:07 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1630?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Shai Erera updated LUCENE-1630: ------------------------------- Attachment: LUCENE-1630.patch Fixed most of your comments Mike. I also noticed I did not document Collector.acceptsDocsOutOfOrder, so fixed that too. The remaining things we should agree on are: * deprecated Weight and add QueryWeight variants to Searchable. I prefer to do it post 2.9. * move scoresDocsOutOfOrder to Scorer instead of Weight. I fixed BooleanWeight to return true if there is a chance it will return BS (i.e. there are no required clauses and <32 prohibited clauses). I guess we'll need to discuss that one more. * Make Collector.acceptsDocsOutOfOrder and QueryWeight.scoresDocsOutOfOrder abstract - I think the default impl makes sense for most of the imps out there and the ones in core, but I don't have a strong feeling against making it abstract. All tests pass, and javadocs are good as well. > Mating Collector and Scorer on doc Id orderness > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1630 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1630 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Reporter: Shai Erera > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Fix For: 2.9 > > Attachments: LUCENE-1630.patch, LUCENE-1630.patch, LUCENE-1630.patch > > > This is a spin off of LUCENE-1593. This issue proposes to expose appropriate API on Scorer and Collector such that one can create an optimized Collector based on a given Scorer's doc-id orderness and vice versa. Copied from LUCENE-1593, here is the list of changes: > # Deprecate Weight and create QueryWeight (abstract class) with a new scorer(reader, scoreDocsInOrder), replacing the current scorer(reader) method. QueryWeight implements Weight, while score(reader) calls score(reader, false /* out-of-order */) and scorer(reader, scoreDocsInOrder) is defined abstract. > #* Also add QueryWeightWrapper to wrap a given Weight implementation. This one will also be deprecated, as well as package-private. > #* Add to Query variants of createWeight and weight which return QueryWeight. For now, I prefer to add a default impl which wraps the Weight variant instead of overriding in all Query extensions, and in 3.0 when we remove the Weight variants - override in all extending classes. > # Add to Scorer isOutOfOrder with a default to false, and override in BS to true. > # Modify BooleanWeight to extend QueryWeight and implement the new scorer method to return BS2 or BS based on the number of required scorers and setAllowOutOfOrder. > # Add to Collector an abstract _acceptsDocsOutOfOrder_ which returns true/false. > #* Use it in IndexSearcher.search methods, that accept a Collector, in order to create the appropriate Scorer, using the new QueryWeight. > #* Provide a static create method to TFC and TSDC which accept this as an argument and creates the proper instance. > #* Wherever we create a Collector (TSDC or TFC), always ask for out-of-order Scorer and check on the resulting Scorer isOutOfOrder(), so that we can create the optimized Collector instance. > # Modify IndexSearcher to use all of the above logic. > The only class I'm worried about, and would like to verify with you, is Searchable. If we want to deprecate all the search methods on IndexSearcher, Searcher and Searchable which accept Weight and add new ones which accept QueryWeight, we must do the following: > * Deprecate Searchable in favor of Searcher. > * Add to Searcher the new QueryWeight variants. Here we have two choices: (1) break back-compat and add them as abstract (like we've done with the new Collector method) or (2) add them with a default impl to call the Weight versions, documenting these will become abstract in 3.0. > * Have Searcher extend UnicastRemoteObject and have RemoteSearchable extend Searcher. That's the part I'm a little bit worried about - Searchable implements java.rmi.Remote, which means there could be an implementation out there which implements Searchable and extends something different than UnicastRemoteObject, like Activeable. I think there is very small chance this has actually happened, but would like to confirm with you guys first. > * Add a deprecated, package-private, SearchableWrapper which extends Searcher and delegates all calls to the Searchable member. > * Deprecate all uses of Searchable and add Searcher instead, defaulting the old ones to use SearchableWrapper. > * Make all the necessary changes to IndexSearcher, MultiSearcher etc. regarding overriding these new methods. > One other optimization that was discussed in LUCENE-1593 is to expose a topScorer() API (on Weight) which returns a Scorer that its score(Collector) will be called, and additionally add a start() method to DISI. That will allow Scorers to initialize either on start() or score(Collector). This was proposed mainly because of BS and BS2 which check if they are initialized in every call to next(), skipTo() and score(). Personally I prefer to see that in a separate issue, following that one (as it might add methods to QueryWeight). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Marriage and divorces play a very important place in the film industry. Actresses getting hitched and then separate is no big deal in the film industry. The Malayalam actors and actresses were considered more conventional wanting to make their marriage work.
However, the trend seems to be changing. Off late, like in Hollywood and Bollywood, many actresses in the Malayalam film industry are choosing to break off from their unhappy marriages and live an independent life and continue with their acting career.
Urvashi, Kalpana, Mayamoushmi, Jyothirmayi, Kavya Madhavan and Mamta Mohandas are few of the Malayalam film actresses who married and later decided to part ways from their better half.
Click on the slider below to check out Malayalam film actresses who sought divorce from their husbands.
Urvashi divorced her long time husband Manoj K Jayan. The two had an intense custody fight over their daughter.
Mayamoushmi, who married Udayakumar (it was Maya's second marriage), separated after seven years of marriage.
Mamta Mohandas
Mamta Mohandas, who married Pregith Padmanabhan last year, has decided to separate ways.
Kavya Madhavan
Kavya Madhavan divorced her husband Nishal on basis of domestic violence and harassment.
Malayalam actress and Urvashi's sister Kalpana, who was having a troubled married life, was granted divorce from her director husband Anil by the Ernakulam family court recently.

Does what it says. Currently it's mostly a novelty, but Tasker integration could make it really useful
Brice Farrell
Found my watch! My pebble was somewhere in my house, but I couldn't find it. By sending it messages with your app I tracked the vibration down to my Tupperware drawer in short order. Thanks!
Miguel Flores
Nice I just won a buck from a bet receiving a message from Dr. Who.
Jonathan Decelles
Does what is claims, but of limited use. This is a clean and simple app that does what it claims to, but given its limited feature set I can't see much use for this app beyond playing around with your Pebble watch.
Elliott Russell
Never has worked For some reason this app has never worked and never sent a notification to my Pebble =/
Victor Häggqvist
So pretty :D Does what it prommis!

Nice! I like it. Might be the base for future, more useful apps.
Love u Time to cheat on some tests
Edwin Finch
Impresses Everyone I Introduce my Pebble To I love this app. It follows the Holo guidelines, does exactly what is advertised and has a simple layout. It impresses a lot of people I show my Pebble because they know how open it is. Thanks for the great app.
Andy Williams
Sticky messages? Concept is good and works as promised. Would be great if messages could be sticky ie. that they can be retrieved and not disappear like other notifications. I guess that would convert it to an on-watch app? Even greater would be multiple notes/pages. Would then merit the 5th star. Here's hoping :-)

Works Well Does exactly what it claims: sends customised title and body instantly to Pebble.
Alec Ledbetter
Simple and effective Simple. I believe you can send a text message to yourself for a similar result. Either way, it does what it says. Welcome to the future of cheating on tests.

Great App! This app is very fun! It does exactly what it is supposed to.

America gets Involved
In 1941, 45% of immigrants to the United States where Jewish. Nazi Germany's intention was to murder all Jewish people in the United States. The people of the United States didn't want to publish anything til they knew it was true. Most of the newspaper reports were about the other countries getting taken down by the Germans. The attacking didn't just stop with a few countries, they wanted to take down all countries that had Jewish people.

A Trump Supporter Said Hillary 'Needs to Be Taken Out'
And that he's prepared to "be a patriot."
Donald Trump's rhetoric has consequences. In a week where the Republican candidate is ramping up his line about the upcoming election being "rigged," a supporter at one of his rallies was caught on video insinuating that Hillary Clinton should be assassinated in order to prevent her taking office—or to remove her from it. The Wall Street Journal spoke to a man named Dan Bowman at a recent Trump event, and, after he agreed to take off his Trump mask, Bowman happily described how Clinton "needs to be taken out" and that, if necessary, he's willing to be the "patriot" who does just that.
While his thoughts on his own potential participation are disturbing, so too is his firm belief that Hillary Clinton's election will be met by revolution. When asked if either of these scenarios represents a threat to assassinate the president, Bowman seems to think it's self-evident that the extra-judicial murder of a public official would be warranted:
"If she's corrupt, why should she be able to stay in office? Answer that question."
The WSJ reporter is quick to say that Bowman's views are not representative of most Trump supporters, but The Boston Globe found he wasn't alone. They also spoke to Bowman, who added to his earlier comments:
"I hope we can start a coup. She should be in prison or shot...We're going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that's what it takes. There's going to be a lot of bloodshed."
Globe reporter Matt Viser said on CNN that he found this kind of rhetoric fairly widespread at the rally:
He points out Trump's talk about "Second Amendment people" a while back, when he appeared to condone violence against his political opponent in the event Clinton rigs the election in her favor. (There is no evidence, nor has there ever been, that this is going to happen. In fact, experts say it would be almost inconceivably difficult to do.) Considering that's what's coming from the top, it's little wonder that his supporters think that, should he lose next month, they can justifiably turn to violence.

Have you ever been part of a "small group"?
If so....what was something you liked about it?
What was something you would have changed about it?
Why small groups?
Post your thoughts!!!
2. Pray your determination. Pray for opportunities to get into the action, for people you know, for people to meet, for opportunities to come.
3. Use the good senses God gave when he created you and the Spirit now wants to fine tune within you. Use your eyes—open them widely. Look intently and ask, "What's really happening?" Use your ears and listen. What are you hearing? What impresses you? What might God be saying to you in that situation or to that person?
4. Do something. There are so many options. Where is someone hurting? Where do you see a need? What could be done? Do it! Do it and know you're probably doing more than you know. Beyond or beneath the need something else is going on. God will open a door.

Regional Cooperation of Small & Medium Firms in Japanese Industrial Clusters
This study examines the effects of intra-regional cooperation among firms and institutions on the growth of firms, using the unique data set of questionnaire survey collected in the three major industrial clusters in Japan. In contrast to the existing studies on regional innovations or agglomeration economies, this study explicitly focuses on the detailed contents of cooperative activities with two specific viewpoints: 1) the contents of regional cooperation in each of the three production stages of R&D, commercialization, and marketing, and 2) the detailed types of alliance partners. Our results demonstrate three points: 1) positive correlations are observed between the intensity of regional cooperation and the firm growth rate and R&D expenditure, 2) horizontal cooperation such as alliances with universities and cross-industry exchange organizations has positive significant effects on the growth rate of firms, which is in contrast with the previous studies that stressed only the role of vertically integrated inter-firm linkages in Japan, and 3) contents and partners of regional cooperation are different among the three clusters based on different dominant industries.

Automated driving aids that will soon be fitted to cars will warn motorists of possible accidents. They may even help them actively to avoid crashes.
Driving fast along a road outside Turin, snow-capped mountains beckon in the far distance. A dog suddenly runs out into the road. A collision looks inevitable when the driver fails to respond. At the last moment, the car executes a smooth, mathematically precise swerve around the dog and then returns to its lane.

Last Week Tonight's Social Media is Being Run By Some Clueless Guy Named Gary
He's a big "John Olive" fan at least.

Last Week Tonight is on break between seasons until February. In the meantime, the crew has kept busy with some little web exclusive videos, and some posts on Facebook and Twitter. But during the Christmas/New Year's break, they're taking a nice little vacation. Well, everyone except for Gary the intern. Gary has never really used social media, and is kind of just figuring this whole thing out as he goes along. So just be nice to him, don't curse, and wait it out until Oliver and his crew are back. Welcome to the Internet, Gary, it's a dark place filled with horrible people.

Big East Will Expand Men's Basketball Tournament To Include All 18 Teams
Published May 24, 2012
WEST WORLD: In San Diego, Brent Schrotenboer writes the Big East "is expected to make another run at BYU or Air Force if the league's new TV contract generates as much revenue as expected." San Diego State Univ. AD Jim Sterk said, "We didn't go over a list of prospects, but the usual suspects are there." Consultants have "conservatively estimated that a new TV deal for the Big East could fetch at least" $6.4M per year for football-only members. BYU and Air Force last year turned down Big East membership, "in part because of the uncertainty over television revenues (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 5/24).
SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS? In N.Y., Pete Thamel writes the Big East is "months away from a lucrative television contract but a few realignment ripples from a nasty and complicated divorce." Questions about how much the league would earn with its new TV contract "were countered by whispers about what would be the tipping point for the nonfootball schools to organize a coup and break up the conference." The Big East's "most lucrative asset remains its postseason basketball tournament, meaning these imperfect strangers need to learn to live together." Villanova Univ. men's basketball coach Jay Wright said, "The football schools and the basketball schools, the way they are now, have a great need for each other, which usually creates a good relationship. We both need each other right now, and we both know it." Wright also "acknowledged that the next few months would be some of the most critical in the league's history." Thamel writes for all of the "gloom cast over the league," TV execs from NBC, Fox and ESPN "still mingled" at the Big East meetings this week. NBC Sports Group Senior VP/Sports Content & College Sports Mike Sheehey said, "You have to make your business decisions based on what your conference is now and put in clauses that allow it to address any changes. There is value now, and that's what we're looking at. And we don't know if it's going to continue to change or if it's not. But either way, we feel there's value" (N.Y. TIMES, 5/24).

Response from hotel
Firstly, thank you for time the time to right a review of our B&B. We take all our gusts comment seriously. Let me address the numbered points you've chosen to raise in the same numbered sequence.
1. Both the hand towels and bath towels are of a standard size that you can buy form any number of high street shops. We supply two hand towels and two bath towels each on arrival. Are you sure you didn't get them mixed up? No accommodation provider supplies beach towels.
2. We make it clear under our terms and conditions of use (a copy of which you signed off as accepted) that towels are changed every other day, We think this more than reasonable. Many accommodation providers will change towels only every third day! I must ask you a question. How often do you change your towels at home? Is it really daily?!? Laundry costs are one of the biggest expenses we face. If we changed them every day that would add considerable cost to your stay. This is something I don't think you would find acceptable, nor do we. Again at check-in it is made clear that towels can be changed daily at additional cost to you. If you wanted a more frequent change, all you had to do was ask.
3. We checked the light immediately. It worked fine. You were here for a few days, if there was genuinely a fault with the light then why not report it to us? We are here to help under such circumstances. If you do have difficulty locating or operating a light switch then we will assist.
4. As explained when entering the room the basin is one of the furthest away form our hot water tank. As such the hot water takes less than 90 seconds to appear. Hardly an 'age'.
5. The shower head is not 'lose' It has a variable position head which allows the head to be directed in various positions or to be removed. Again,if you had trouble with this then why not report it to us and we would again assist.
6. The position of the basin is next to the bed in your room, as this is a Victorian building and some of the rooms have this characteristic we have retained this period feature.
7. Breakfast times are advertised everywhere, and are very much in line with other accommodation providers both large and small. We recently had a request for breakfast to serve breakfast at 6pm !!There is no requirement to have breakfast with us if you did decide to have a lie in. However this would be a shame as to do so would be to miss-out on may of the fabulous features our island has to offer. Isn't that what being here on holiday is all about?!?

I'm scared I'm getting too close to my best mate. He's really hot and I've never thought about anything more than being just friends until he decided to start flirting a bit. I am scared it'll ruin stuff if I go with the flow. What do you think?
-BFF or BF
I think you're scared it'll ruin stuff if you go with the flow. I also think you're scared you're getting too close to your best mate. And that you find him to be really hot. Lot of scared. Lot of hot. Like Jason Statham is hot and also pretty scary. Such a horrible actor yet such a film star. That's scary.
The key is perceiving someone to be hot is subjective. I'm sure others find him hot, but the point is that you do. So he's a guy you find hot and enjoy spending time with. Sounds like dating material to me. It could turn into a husband thing if you're into that.
Then you could make other guys who don't have husbands feel jealous and horrible. A worthy goal.
Sounds like things have already changed between you. There's a sexual tension in the air from him flirting with you. But that won't last forever. He can't flirt into a brick wall. You'll need to respond. He may just want to flirt though, nothing beyond that. Will you be disappointed if he doesn't want to try more than friendship?
It's not a ranking thing though, so it's not really about "more" just different.
Basically, your relationship with him has already changed. Can dating mess up a friendship. Sure can. Do it anyway. But skip the flirting part and ask him out directly. Use the word date.
Don't assume, though, because you know each other so well as friends, that you know him on a dating level. While he shouldn't necessarily act different, he may. The possibility of more intimacy can make people be more on guard, less open. LIke you're scared right now.
So take it slow. Dating I mean. And his dick too, when you get there. Nice and slow.

I just got off the phone with Mary Adams of Maine.
If you don't know who Mary Adams is - here ya go. Mary Adams is the small--government juggernaught grandmother who has, for several decades, fought the good fight against government waste and spending up in Vacationland.
Mary called about a new development in Maine politics, there is an effort by those on the left to make the Maine Legislature smaller, or in other words, put it up for sale to lobbyists. The highest bidder, taxpayers are NOT.
The quickest way to turn any state into Massachusetts is to have a small "professional" legislature to do "the people's work." (insert belly laugh here)
And what kind of "professional legislators" will inhabit this new, glorious Maine Legislature?
Can you say – trial lawyers, defense lawyers, low life con artists, ego maniacs, former and current public employees, and moonbats.
Hey Maine taxpayers! Just say no to making the Maine Legislature into "Bulger/Finneran North."
When I go on the road and meet people from other taxpayers groups across the country they always ask what it is like to have a 400 member House of Representatives.
I tell them the same thing: "I know its is pretty tough with that many, I just wish we could add about 200 more so nothing would get done and we would all be safe."

AutoPlay Express 4.5 Build 250 | Size 7.88 MB
AutoPlay Express is a powerful yet extremely easy-to-use tool for creating autoplay CD and DVD discs. It's designed to create colorful menus, presentations and shells which appear automatically when a disc gets inserted into the drive.
The product is intended for a broad range of consumers that are interested in creating live, content-rich CD and DVD discs that make great first impressions. It's best suited for creating software discs, CD catalogs, CD presentations, CD photo albums, slide shows, CD business cards and promotional CDs, etc. It is an essential tool for software companies, retailers, marketing and PR professionals, photographers, designers and many others specialists, as well as for home users interested in creating professional looking attractive discs with family albums or home videos for example.
AutoPlay Express allows creation of autoplay menus of any complexity level. At your service is available set of various customizable basic objects, each of them is able to react on mouse movements by changing its appearance and on mouse clicks by launching some actions. Speaking about actions AutoPlay Express offers you a large amount of various actions to perform: from just opening a web link or file to launching the slide show of pictures you store on the disc without any additional viewer required, just by using autoplay menu means.
Another essential feature of AutoPlay Express is full web and multimedia integration. There are three special objects that allows you to integrate your CD menu with web pages and multimedia files such as digital video and flash animations. This means that your clients and customers will be able to view html documents on your CD or DVD disc, open web pages, play video and flash animations - all right inside autoplay menu frame! You can integrate your CD with the World Wide Web to insert a link to your website, for example. This makes CD distribution a tremendously powerful marketing tool and a great money maker. Your customers can instantly order any product you carry on your CD, look for updates and new additions, send you e-mails, browse your website, etc.
Once you're done with designing of your autoplay CD front end AutoPlay Express doesn't leave you one on one with pretty tough for most not experienced users task of publishing the results of your work to the final CD or DVD disc. The ultimate publishing and testing features such as Virtual CD-ROM and integrated CD/DVD burner lets you forget about the headache with right files placing on the disc to make sure everything works fine and make disc actually AutoPlay. The software will handle all by itself. Thus with AutoPlay Express you may start working from blank project and end up with burning the final ready-to-use autoplay disc, all just in one program!
Working with AutoPlay Express is very easy and fully visual. The entire process of creating CD menus is based on a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) idea, so everything you see on the design screen will end up as a final autoplay menu. The professional animated tutorials available on this site and project templates supplied with the program will help you to get started and give practical examples how to build upon. The integrated CD/DVD burner helps to publish the results of your work and get the final autoplay disc ready. Just combine all the variety of product features and possibilities with the fact that it costs only a fraction of what the competitors charge for their products, and you will start to understand why AutoPlay Express is one of the most popular CD autorun assistant tools available on the market. And since AutoPlay Express is "try before you buy", you can download and start using it without any cost to you just right now!
Ease of use.
AutoPlay Express utilizes the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) principle allowing you to see what the ready autoplay menu will look like. While you design your project everything you see on the design screen will be just like the final autoplay menu when you publish the project or give it a test run. The entire process of creating autorun menus using AutoPlay Express is fully visual: you just use your mouse to draw the interface, no additional knowledge of Windows programming is required! Learning how to create an autorun CD menu with AutoPlay Express is easy and takes just a couple of minutes! Just see our animated tutorials here to make sure of that.
Multiple pages supported.
You can create an unlimited number of pages within your autorun menu. That's right! There is no need to try to put all the information on one screen making it unreadable. Instead, you can create menus of any size and complexity that involve multiple screens and extended navigation. This is very useful for disc catalogues and other menus that present large amount of information. Watch our animated tutorials here to see the multiple pages in action.
A variety of fully customizable interactive objects.
AutoPlay Express offers a large amount of basic objects used for creating interfaces for your autoplay menu. All objects are fully customizable: you can change their shape, color, border, fonts, etc. This means absolute freedom in creating user interfaces of any level of complexity. To make your autoplay front end more interactive, our dynamic objects can react to mouse movements by changing their look when a user drags the cursor over an object. These options can be used to implement advanced interface features such as text highlighting, link underlining, context-bound tool tips, dynamic menus, etc.
A variety of actions.
Disc menus created using AutoPlay Express feature an extensive set of outer world interactions. Each and every object reacts to mouse clicks by performing a set of assigned actions. There are over 25 actions available for each object including running external programs and opening documents from the disc, pointing a web browser to specific web page, displaying short messages, navigating inside the autoplay menu pages, etc. The set of available actions is well designed and sufficient to suit all your needs!
Slide show feature.
If you use CD/DVD discs to store your photos or other images, you will definitely enjoy this feature. Using AutoPlay Express slide show you can create autoplay shells that provide end users with a slide show capability. This feature is one of the standard actions that become available when a user clicks an object (see previous paragraph). To utilize it you only need to specify the location of your graphical images on the CD disc and let the program do the rest. An autoplay menu will perform the slide show by its own means, no additional image viewer software is required.
Seamless integration with web and multimedia content.
AutoPlay Express has three special objects that seamlessly integrate with web pages, digital video and flash animation files. These are the Web Browser, Media Player and Flash Player objects.
The Media Player object is used to play video files right inside the autoplay menu window frame. The object is based on the Windows Media Player core so it plays any kind of video file supported by the Windows Media Player. The same applies to the Flash Player object. It's based on Macromedia Flash Player engine and plays flash content right inside the CD menu frame.
Advanced sound system.
AutoPlay Express has a built-in audio player that allows WAV, MP3 and WMA sound files playback (no need for 3rd party programs). Also there are various background sound options available in the program, such as background sound for the whole menu or for every page separately, slide show background music, etc.
Virtual CD-ROM feature.
The Virtual CD-ROM feature is intended to help you organize CD/DVD disc files. Working with a virtual disc is easy and very similar to working with any CD/DVD burner software: in the beginning you have a blank disc, then you fill it with the files and folders you are going to write on the CD or DVD disc and arrange them there as you like. When designing an autoplay menu, you are allowed to select files from the virtual disc only. Once you're done with menu designing, you may burn the virtual disc content right to the CD or DVD disc or recreate it in the specified folder. See the animated tutorial illustrating how to work with the Virtual CD-ROM feature and how to handle files with it.
Publishing means.
AutoPlay Express not only has a Virtual CD-ROM feature where you can create the complete image of your future CD or DVD disc, it also has an integrated CD/DVD disc burner. Thus using AutoPlay Express, you can design an autoplay menu and then burn the final autoplay disc with all the related files.
Run feature.
Using this feature you can test and debug your autoplay front end without burning it to the disc. Just call this feature from the menu and you'll see your autoplay menu in action, just like it will run from the real CD or DVD disc.
All Windows operating systems supported.
AutoPlay Express software and all autoplay menus created using it are fully compatible with all versions of Microsoft Windows starting Windows 95 and up to Windows XP and higher. Autoplay front ends created using AutoPlay Express software are fully independent and do not require any additional modules or additional software to run.
OS: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista
Program is full version 100% working and tested.

Help On Deciding A Flavor For A Cake That Will Be Donated
Decorating By kirasmom Updated 23 Mar 2011 , 9:50pm by SecretAgentCakeBaker
I entered a cake competition that is on this coming Saturday. The competition is a fundraiser for a charity. I am donating the cake to be sold. What I am having trouble with is deciding a cake flavor. I have narrowed down my choices to Pina Colada, Strawberry Lemonade and Banana Split. I really could use some input to what you all think.
Ooooh, Piña Colada, although there's a citrus carrot cake recipe here on CC that would knock their socks off! (I know, you really don't need any more input at this point, but I just couldn't resist.)
I think for a fundraiser you should go for the flavour with the broadest appeal...something basic like chocolate - yes, it's common, but it's so common for a reason.
Is your cake the only one being sold, or are there others? If there are other cakes, then definitely go with something interesting. There will be enough of the basics, I'm sure.
My vote is for the strawberry Lemondae. Sounds great!
If your cake is the only one, will be it sold by the slice? If so, then probably yellow cake or chocolate cake.

Gumpaste Flowers In Checked Luggage - Can I???
Decorating By mbt4955 Updated 10 Jul 2009 , 4:05pm by mbt4955
I really, really want to go to CakeCamp in September. There are four classes that I want to take and they all involve gumpaste flowers (Nicholas Lodge - 2 classes, Collette Peters and B. Keith Ryder). One of Nic's classes is down to one opening, so I have to decide quickly.
I can only carry on one box of flowers. Is there anything I can take with me to pack the rest of my flowers inside my checked bag and actually get back to Texas with them intact?
Thanks so much!
That's a big risk - they are so fragile. I have used Polyfill to support and pad them, but once you check your bag, they will be tossed around so much. Sorry, but I don't have an alternative for you.
Thanks, Lee. I may do a search for those CC'ers who order their gumpaste flowers ready made. See how they are packaged for shipping. I really want to go because it is a wonderful opportunity, but I wouldn't want to leave my flowers sitting in the hotel lobby ...

Salafi Islam is an orthodox interpretation stressing adherence to its founding principles and rejection of modern impurities. Several terrorist suspects linked to Osama bin Laden and al-Qa'eda are among its adherents.
Followers argue that many Muslims have lost touch with the principles enshrined in the Koran and favour the revival of teaching in its most ancient form. In recent years it has produced a puritan, anti-establishment school of Islam which eschews conventional politics.
Two groups in Britain, al-Muhajiroun and the Supporters of Shariah, based at the Finsbury Park mosque in north London, follow Salafi teaching. The link between Salafi thought and terrorism has proved embarrassing to Saudi Arabia, whose royal family spent huge sums encouraging its dissemination.
The leading centre for its study is the Islamic University of Medina, founded in 1961.
Mohamed Atta, leader of the September 11 attacks, was carrying a Salafi tract in his luggage while Richard Reid, accused of attempting to blow up an airliner with a shoe bomb, was believed to have studied Salafi thought. Cassettes of bin Laden speeches were on sale at a Salafi centre in Yemen last year.
Six men charged in America this week with helping to plan attacks on Las Vegas and Disneyland have been described as members of the Salafi Group for Call and Combat, a militant Islamic group founded in Algeria and supported by bin Laden.
Since September 11, schools teaching Salafiya have been criticised in Saudi Arabia as breeding grounds of terrorism. Websites such as salafi.net are among some 100 sites described by Info Prod, an American research team, as communicators of radical Islam.
Yet the doctrinal conservatism that attracts followers specifically prohibits suicide and violence against innocents. The website of Salafi Publications, which is hosting the three-day Sixth National Islamic Conference in Birmingham, preaches tolerance and understanding.
Organisers were swift to distance themselves yesterday from any link with terrorism, especially to prevent further damage to the Muslim reputation in the run up to the first anniversary of the September 11 bombings.
Abu Kahadeejah, its spokesman, said security was being stepped up as a result of the arrest. Two policemen were stationed at the door and signs notified delegates that their bags would be checked.
"We are not aware of anyone of Tunisian origin travelling to the conference from Sweden.
"These actions concern me just as much as if someone had jumped on a plane with a gun going to the World Cup. I would not expect people to blame FIFA for that in the same way I do not expect people to blame us for this."
Inside the conference, the arrest was high on the agenda among attendees as terrorism in general. One delegate said: "Obviously what happened in Sweden has focused everyone's mind on terrorism."
Delegates discussed issues such as "reality of guidance" and there were live telephone links to well-known clerics. Among the discussions was Islam in the context of September 11 and how Islam was in danger of being "corrupted" by so-called revolutionaries.
