The night had crept up on the town, shadowing it and enveloping it all in hues of navy blue and violet. However, the city was not sleeping. Lights shone through windows and open doorways, casting a watery glow through the mist-enshrouded streets. At the Hell's Gate Tavern, business was thriving. The air inside was thick with the fumes of tobacco and the stench of grog and rum. A continual humming of conversation flowed as freely as the liquor sold, mingling with the sounds of somebeast scraping away on a violin and the loud, angry voice of a big brutish weasel who didn't think he needed to pay for his grog.
Seated at a circular table in a secluded part of the room several beasts sat. They swilled their grog slowly, their eyes were riveted on the speaker who was a lean individual dressed in dark clothing and a motheaten cloak. He took a swallow of the foamy ale set before him and gesticulated with a paw. His voice came in rich, low tones, spoken in an unhurried way.
"Aye, gennelbeasts. Merum's got a tale fer ye. A tale the likes ye've never heard before, so listen close. It's a long tale and twas passed down to me by my father who learned it from his father and his father's father before him. His grandfather, they say, learned it from a dying sailor in his young days. It is a strange tale, to be sure, and twill take time in the tellin'. Be sure to save many a pretty penny, for ye'll want a drink in the nights to come, methinks..."
Chapter One: The Sealark
The inhabitants of the Madasan Isles were not used to visitors and they were definitely not expecting royalty. The day was balmy and cloudless and a thick perfume rose from the many exotic flowers that covered the island.
- Sealark
That was the name, painted in flowing gold cursive along the side of the sleek mahogany-hued vessel that dropped anchor in the small bay off the coast of Madas, the largest of the three isles. The crew were a motley lot; ferrets, weasels, stoats, rats and foxes. As soon as they landed, longboats were dropped into the water and ten beasts swarmed aboard each of the three.
At the prow of the first boat stood a tall and regal-looking beast. He was a great silver-backed fisher. His eyes were almond-shaped and slanted upward at the corners and colored a deep black, gleaming with intelligence. He wore a black tabard with silver imbellishments at the shoulders, neck and hem. Around his neck hung a silver chain, on which hung a much-polished emerald. It flashed and glittered in the tropical sun. Around his shoulders, he wore a rich blue cloak, the neck trimmed in the fur of some unfortunate beast.
The fisher half closed his eyes against the glare of the sun reflecting off the white-sand beach. He leapt agilely into the aquamarine waters as they neared shore. Gathering his cloak about him, he waited for the rest of the shore party to disembark. The crewbeasts jumped from their boats and dragged them onto the sands, out of reach of the waves.
- "Do yer suppose there's any living creature on this island, 'Ighness? Looks to be too good an isle to not be inhabited by somebeast."
The fisher turned to the rat addressing him. There was a distant look in his eyes.
- "I would suppose, Magnir. Take several beasts and see if you can find provisions and supplies, then get my ship repaired. I want a full search of this island tomorrow."
The rat threw a smart salute.
- "Aye, yer Majesty!"
It was midday and the fisher sat upon velvet cushions in his tent, picking at a heavy fruit and honey salad while he watched the crew setting to work on the repairs of his ship. An otter slave waved a palm frond to cool his face. He lay back and closed his eyes languidly, his mind travelling far away, back to his homeland as he drifted into slumber. He smiled in his sleep as he thought of his revenge...
Magnir and his four crewbeasts trekked through the deep jungle. They were still looking for food and had found several likely-looking plants on the island, but they couldn't tell what was edible and what was not. The ferret Greentooth scratched an ear.
- "Dey looks good enuff ter me. I kinder likes der look of dose liddle plump berries. Yer tink dey's poisonous?"
A shifty-eyed rat nodded somberly.
- "We shudd just test 'em out on yew, Greeny. If'n yew falls over an' dies, then we don't eat 'em, see."
Yungi the stoat lent his opinion on the matter.
- "Aye! Ol' Greeny kin be taste tester!"
Magnir walked over to them. "We can't afford ter waste any o' yer useless lives, so I don' want nobeast eatin' nuthin' 'less I says so! I'm cap'n of this patrol, so lissen up or else." A surly-looking fox jutted his lip out at Magnir.
- "Who made yer the boss, Magnir? I'll do wot I wants an' a skinny little rat like yew ain't stoppin' me!"
He reached up and plucked a ripe yellow fruit and bit into it. The juice dribbled down his chin and he licked his lips, reaching for another.
The big fox staggered and fell back with a strangled gurgle. Greentooth looked into the fox's staring eyes, gasping.
- "H-he's dead! We're all gonna die!"
The ferret fled, smashing through vegetation in his mad dash. Magnir heard a whistling noise as an arrow sped past, burying itself in a tree with a solid thock!
- "Everybeast down! Down I say! Can't yer see we're under attack, yer droolin' idjits!" screeched Magnir, as he dropped on all fours.
A rat let out an anguished scream as an arrow found him and the rest of the foraging party threw themselves to the ground, covering their heads with their paws. Suddenly, the air was filled with yips and yells as dark forms hurtled into the midst of the group.
The foraging party woke with throbbing headaches to the sound of rattles and drums. Magnir opened his eyes slowly and groaned.
- "W-wot 'appened?"
A skinny form dropped from a tree in front of him, shaking a rattle in his face.
- "You shushnow! Shushnow, rat! Girr, ratter be awaked, girr!"
The creature appeared to be a squirrel, though Magnir could not be sure, it was covered from head to tail in dark mud and leaves. Several others gathered around him, jibbering excitedly.

The delta-sigma ADC tackles the application demands of a slow analog signal that requires a high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and wide dynamic range. But, the delta-sigma converter is not the only device that tackles these application requirements. You will find that designers also utilize SAR-ADCs in these lower frequency applications. The SAR-ADC system usually requires an analog gain stage and a complete anti-aliasing filter, where the delta-sigma converter does not require these external functions. The delta-sigma converter has much of the required signal conditioning functions designed within the chip and performs these functions in the digital domain. As a matter of fact, the delta-sigma ADC can nearly be considered as a system-on-a-chip (SoC). In this article, we investigate the position of the delta-sigma converter in the signal chain circuit, the overall operation of the delta-sigma converter, the delta-sigma noise shaping phenomena, and the utilization of process gain within the delta-sigma converter. Although this article does not provide a comprehensive treatment of the delta-sigma converter, we use these concepts as we compare the SAR-ADC and delta-sigma converter at the system level.Delta-sigma ADC signal chainThe signal chain for the delta-sigma converter application starts with the sensor (left side of Figure 1). Contrary to a typical SAR-ADC system, there are no analog gain circuits, such as an amplifier and instrumentation amplifier, following the sensor block. Between the sensor and the delta-sigma converter, there is an anti-aliasing, low-pass filter. The delta-sigma converter and the SAR-ADC anti-aliasing filter designs are significantly different. With a SAR converter, the anti-aliasing filter usually has an active fourth to eighth order implementation, requiring two to four amplifiers. As Figure 1 shows, the delta-sigma anti-aliasing implementation generally requires only a first order, passive filter [1].

Can I upload the attached files only to dropbox and avoid storing it in Jotform?Asked by visionin on March 13, 2014 at 12:58 PM
Is there a way to bypass saving uploads at jotbox and only have them uploaded to Dropbox?
No, there is no way to avoid storing the Uploaded files in Jotform. You can delete them, but that would imply to delete the whole submission of the uploaded file.
If you do not feel comfortable having your submission data and especially the uploaded files in Jotofrm and you prefer to store it in Dropbox, then you may consider to use our Auto Delete Submissions app: http://apps.jotform.com/app/auto_delete_submissions

Australian Business Confidence shows signs of cooling off in November following the post-election optimism
Roy Morgan Research's latest Business Confidence survey in November 2013 is showing some signs of weakening following strong gains in September and October after the Federal election. The level of 131.1, while still well above the average of the last three years, was down from the October figure of 136.3 and the September results of 134.3. These November figures are the results of 1,624 interviews across all industries, business sizes and locations across Australia.
The drop in confidence among business in November was caused by a decline in positive feelings about where the economy is heading in the next 12 months and the next five years. There has also been a small drop in the proportion of businesses considering that the next 12 months are a good time to invest in growing the business.
This decline in Business Confidence in November was across all business sizes, with micro business down 5.4 points to 129.4, small business down 4.4 points to 143.3 and medium/large business down 3.4 points to 146.9. Medium/large businesses (turnover $5m+ p.a.) have clearly been the most confident over the last three years and in November, despite a small drop off in confidence, they remain at an historically high level.
All states have suffered some loss in business confidence during November, with the biggest losses being in WA and SA. The most positive is Queensland, currently on 136.4, followed by NSW (134.0). The states with below average business confidence are Tasmania (124.5), WA (125.6), Victoria (126.4) and SA (131.0).
Of the major industries, Mining still leads confidence in November with 149.7 (down from 156.4 in October), Retail is around average with 131.6 (up from 126.8 in October) and Construction is on 127.9 (up from 122.9 in October). The agricultural sector remains well below average with 121.9 but was up slightly on the 118.7 recorded in October.
Norman Morris, Industry Communications Director, Roy Morgan Research, says:
"The decline in business confidence in November following the highs in the previous two months created by the Federal election was probably to be expected to some extent as market realities hit, but a number of events have combined to increase this uncertainty.
"The November result was most likely impacted by the extensive press coverage of the budgetary situation and the need to lift the debt ceiling by two hundred billion dollars, which appears to have been a complete turn-around from the picture that was presented prior to the election. The issues surrounding the Gonski school funding also created uncertainty and confusion around what the Government was likely to change next.
"Other events that are likely to have cocontributed to a more negative outlook for business included the spying controversy regarding Indonesia, problems in the car manufacturing industry and forecasts that the growth in the Australian economy was slowing. The decline in the Australian dollar was obviously a positive for exporters but would also have had a negative impact on the import of goods.
"During November the ASX 200 declined by 2 percentage points, which was obviously a reflection of some negative feelings regarding the Australian economy.
"Despite these negative impacts, the level of business confidence in Australia remains above the average seen over the last three years but it has shown itself to be very sensitive to any local or overseas events which are difficult to predict."

Andre Tegeler – Moguai to the world – is one of the most forward thinking, in-demand and inspirational electronic artists around, no question. His electrifying 'Lyve' performances and pioneering studio methods continue to stun and inspire both clubbers and budding producers alike, while his sparkling discography features collaborations with some of the industry's most prestigious A-listers. From Moby, Underworld, Royksopp and Felix Da Housecat, to X-Press 2, SOFI, The Sugababes and Girls Aloud – no task is too great for our Moguai. His debut album, 'We Ar Lyve', was the first release on mau5trap recordings that didn't come from label founder and EDM icon deadmau5, which in itself is an instant seal of approval. Follow that up with hugely successful tours of North America and Asia, the release of his highly anticipated second album 'Mpire', a Radio 1 Essential Mix and remixes for the likes of Underworld, Afrojack and Britney Spears – it's quite clear that Moguai is operating at the top of his game. Going from strength to strength with the passing of each day, the man is simply unstoppable.

Like everyone, actor Varun Dhawan is also a huge fan of Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson. Recently, when Varun met film critic Rajeev Masand, he sent across a recorded message for Dwayne. While what exactly was the message is something that we don't know, but a teaser posted by Masand on social networking site shows Varun introducing himself.
However, that is not what is exciting. The thrilling part of the teaser is when Dwayne Johnson himself is heard saying, "Varun, right… We actually know each other!"
Now that the teaser is so sweet, we can't wait to hear the entire message from Dwayne specially for our 'ABCD 2' star!

Winter Storm Lands Glancing, Glazing Blow
Thursday, January 29, 2009
The Washington region survived its first winter storm of the season with crumpled fenders, a few bones broken by icy falls and schoolchildren enjoying some time off even if there wasn't much snow to play in.
The lights stayed on yesterday, the major roadways stayed open and weather forecasters said sunshine would return today, melting any ice that formed again overnight.
"As ice storms go, this didn't pack a lot of punch," said Dave Buck of the Maryland State Highway Administration. "The biggest problem was chipping the ice off your car windows and getting out of your parking space."
Buck and his Virginia counterpart, Joan Morris of the Virginia Department of Transportation, said road crews would remain on duty through the night to ensure that the roads are clear of ice for this morning's commute.
The region's two major power companies -- Dominion Virginia Power and Pepco -- said the storm, which arrived as snow Tuesday and turned to ice by yesterday morning, was a weakling.
"There was no real ice to bring down trees or wires," said Bob Dobkin of Pepco. "It's been a fairly mild winter so far, but it isn't over."
The ice may not have been thick yesterday, but there was plenty of it, especially early.
In Silver Spring, Gino Bardini, 71, was up before sunrise, watching drivers slide along on Kinross Avenue. "They've been spinning all over the place," Bardini said as he walked carefully along a street that was glazed with a shiny veneer. "We only had one salt truck, and that was yesterday morning. . . . Today, I go nowhere."
The threat of a disastrous ice storm, like the one in 1999 that left 400,000 customers in the dark for five days, is a source of dread but also a fact of winter in the Washington area because of its geographical configuration.
The blizzards that torment the Midwest and delight New England skiers often arrive here as sleet and freezing rain, although temperatures like those during the recent cold spell seem low enough to entertain snow.
But the cold air to our north and west is deeper, and snow requires the air to be below freezing from the cloud level to the ground. But if there are several layers with different temperatures -- a freezing layer, a warmer level and a second freezing layer -- the snow falling from the clouds melts when it hits the warm air. Then it either refreezes into sleet at the second level of cold air or falls as rain that turns to ice when it makes contact with the frozen ground.
That's what happened yesterday. Blame it on the Appalachian Mountains.

Skin Care for Memorial Day Celebrations
Memorial Day celebrations, picnics, parades and other warm weather activities are coming up this weekend. To get your skin ready for these outdoor events, you need products that protect and rejuvenate the complexion. Check out our top picks for maintaining healthy, radiant spring and summer skin.
Before you expose your complexion to the sun during Memorial Day celebrations, apply a sunscreen to defend against burns and signs of aging. EltaMD UV Daily Broad Spectrum SPF 40 is a moisturizing sunscreen that defends against both UVA and UVB rays for the ultimate protection.
One of the best parts about spring and summer skin care is the lightweight, sheer formulas that are a breeze to apply. A BB cream such as Kinerase BB Cream protects against sun damage, hydrates skin and creates a more even tone. When you use this lightweight product, you won't have to worry about your makeup running and smudging in the warm weather.
During your Memorial Day celebrations you can break out the shorts and dresses. To give your body a natural glow without the damage, use Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Glow Pad for Body. These large towelettes provide gradual color and exfoliate skin for a radiant look.
After a long winter, your complexion needs a pick-me-up to create a youthful and healthy appearance. The vitamin C in Obagi Professional-C Peptide Complex helps fade signs of aging, creates a more even tone and improves collagen production.
One of the telltale signs of too much sun exposure is dark spots. To fade this damage and create a healthy complexion that is perfect for spring and summer, use Epionce MelanoLyte Pigment Perfecting Serum. This product reduces pigment and inflammation to fade dark spots and sun damage for flawless summer skin.

What do you girls want in a guy and what qualities/charactestics would attract you to him and see him as a potential (serious)partner ?
Like if a guy is just about 5ft 6in and very hairy, can he be considered desirable by girls?
Most Helpful Girl
I would say that depends on the girl. A lot of women are shallow as are men and looks do mean something to a point. I tend not to judge people on their looks. I go for a quality guy. One that isn't afraid to be himself. One that challenges me to become a better person. A brain is a must! I find intelligence a great big turn on. One that isn't clingy or prone to be too emotional.
Be confident in yourself. Look for someone that is NOT out of your league. Start as friends and see where it goes from there! That is the best advice I can give you! Good luck!00|00|0
What comes under "intelligence"? How do you say a man is intelligent?
Someone who can carry conversations about life, the universe and everything. Someone who is open minded enough to consider alternative thinking. Someone who can form a sentence using real words and not a lot of slang.


text: Hi everyone I wonder if you can help. I've been using my HTC Desire without a problem but for the last couple of weeks I have been getting unable to send notifications when sending texts. This can be almost instantly after hitting the send button. I'm on three. My friend has the same handset and he is on oange and is getting the same thing so is this a handset thing or are we both doing something wrong. If you leave the desire to do it's stuff it will send it. On other occasions it goes no problem. Anyone else had this problem?

Cyprus-based GA European Investments has picked up a 7.9 per cent stake in the Radhika Roy- and Prannoy Roy-promoted New Delhi Television (NDTV) Ltd for over Rs 125 crore.
NDTV today informed the National Stock Exchange (NSE) that GA Europeon had purchased 48.36 lakh shares, representing a 7.9 per cent stake, from Shyam Cellular Infrastructure Project Ltd.
At today's closing price of Rs 259.15 of the NDTV stock on the NSE, the foreign fund's cost of acquisition worked out to be over Rs 125 crore.
The NDTV stock declined by 0.52 per cent at Rs 258.90 after opening at Rs 263.45.
This is the second sale by an entity of the Shyam Telecom group. Last month, Shyam Basic Infrastructure Project Pvt Ltd had picked up 45.43 lakh shares of NDTV, representing a 7.47 per cent stake. However, on July 7, the entity sold 7 per cent of the stake in the open market.
The NDTV counter has been witnessing hectic activities over the past few weeks with its stakes changing hands. ICICI Equity Fund had recently exited from the company by selling its 14.93 per cent stake in phases. The last sale of 6,077,528 shares, representing a 10 per cent stake, took place on June 28.
"The hectic activities at the NDTV counter show that the media stocks are hot in today's market. It will intensify and spill over to other media counters," said an industry analyst.
In a separate development recently, Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund acquired 2.95 per cent in NDTV, taking its shareholding in the company to 6.53 per cent.
NDTV currently airs three news channels -- 24X7 in English, NDTV India in Hindi and an English business channel, NDTV Profit. The company has recently sought permission from the ministry of information and broadcasting to air a fourth news channel.
It has also been recently granted permission by Canada Radio and Television for launching its English channel across Canada through ATN.

Black Milk Clothing gave us a taste of their upcoming Game of Thrones release last week, and now you can drool over everything in the collection. They've shared more pictures of leggings, dresses, and shirts and posted the list of all the articles of clothing in the release. I like the variety of different styles – body dresses, skater dresses, etc. – but I'm surprised they don't feature more prints. I love the Westeros map dress and even the leggings covered in Littlefinger's best lines, but many of the items feature the house sigils and it's very Targaryen heavy.
Still, my wallet is still going to hurt when the collection is released on March 11.

Mercy guns were weapons of Time Lord design.
These guns were capable of remembering who they shot — regardless of the time that had elapsed since the target was hit by the original shot, unaffected even if they regenerated since then — with the first attack stunning the target and the second killing them, the reasoning being that you deserved to die if you had to be shot by them a second time. They were small and golden shaped machines that were very difficult to destroy. Lord Roche had a mercy gun that was once accidentally fired at him, but the Third Doctor claimed that he wouldn't even countenance the name for that device, let alone use it. After Roche regenerated into a double of the Third Doctor, Troy Game used the mercy gun to test whether the Doctor was the Doctor or had been replaced by Roche because the Doctor was continuing with Roche's plan to save Caresh despite Troy having just discovered that this plan would destroy half of Caresh with the solar radiation, not taking into account that the Doctor hadn't known about the radiation issue.

There is an amplified usage of Software as a service (SAAS) in business and it is becoming increasingly evident in HR software solutions as well. In fact, HR cloud applications are the third most popular applications (based upon a study conducted by Myhrtoolkit, wherein 32% of people interviewed stated they would invest in HR cloud applications for their business)
Flexible working is becoming increasingly acceptable in any organisational working environment. According to survey done by Institute of Leadership and Management, flexible working is being offered by 94% of organisations. This means increasingly there is a demand to access a company's data from anywhere and everywhere.
So, what are the key drivers for selecting SAAS?
The focus of having SAAS system should be flexibility, ease of use and minimum interruption. The good thing about having a cloud based system is massive reduction in cost. You pay on a per seat per user basis. The outlay is dramatically less than an on- premise license. It further has tax benefits at its treated as an operating expense.
Requirements of SAAS are enhancing with every passing year. No wonder there has been a buzz around SAP snapping up Success factors and Oracle Buying Right Now Technologies. Plus there are new vendors mushrooming offering comprehensive HR SAAS solutions which seem very lucrative for small and big businesses. So how should we go about choosing the right vendor? Data related to employees' payroll, tax and benefits is crucial and therefore needs to be secure. Offline backups could be done but might result in increased breaches of corporate policies on systems.An important consideration of any SAAS softwareprovider is security of data that they provide. The focus and expectation of any client is getting the data instantaneously and being stored by the vendor securely.
Another plus for having a SAAS is scalability. Storage and usage is (theoretically) unlimited. If you have the budget and requirement, you can buy it when you need it. Success factors launched SAAS HR systems for Siemens in less than 6 months. It is no joke that with the launch itself, the system could handle 400,000 employee records and 40,000 daily logins. It goes without saying that you get SAAS for a robust online access all the time.
A good SAAS provider should offer a competitive price, and detailed project management plans on carrying out installation, updating and customisation of user interface and reports.SAAS vendors should take responsibility of managing software systems, fixing bugs and installing upgrades on a periodic basis (preferably monthly).Ideally, the SLAs should be fixed while signing Master Service Agreements. Meeting SLAs month on month can be challenging especially if the SAAS vendors are new to the technology.
A good idea would be to look at the detailed implementation plans and success stories for some of their recent clients before finalising a vendor. I am not saying doubt them but it is better to be prudent than sorry. My suggestion would be to know your prospective delivery team. Also, importance should be laid upon the accuracy with which delivery is made month on month for existing clients.If the entire software solution is not provided by a single vendor, then it is your job as a business to bring all vendors, your IT team creating clear communication channels at all times.
For successful implementation and running of a cloud based system, there should be clear communication between business, IT and operational team. This is for always being in line with achieving business goals and providing a robust system. The good thing about cloud based software is that as a business, you are less tied to a vendor or system. You can easily make a shift if you are not happy with the service.From employees point of view, place of work should almost become non relevant after a successful implementation. From users' point of view, they should not feel any difference in the application's look and feel.
It is implied therefore, that an established SaaS provider should be engaged. Although cloud computing has come quite far in last few years, it still has a long way to go- in terms of enhanced technologies and seamless integration but the amount of risk definitely gets reduced with an established provider.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/3/2013 (1623 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Give the late Barbara Klassen an aluminum- can tab and she would have loved you forever. Through teary-red eyes, her younger brother, George Klassen, remembers a thoughtful woman who only wanted to help.
"She was my only sister," said George. "She was my best friend."
George was at Victory School in Winnipeg recently doing his big sister a favour by donating, on her behalf, more than 113 kilograms of drink tabs to the Seven Oaks School Division tabs-collection committee.
Barbara and her three brothers grew up on a dairy farm in Blumenfeld, two hours southwest of Winnipeg. During an emergency kidney surgery at six months old, Barbara suffered brain damage due to lack of oxygen. George explained that as a result, even as she grew older, she had the mind of a six-year-old.
Despite her disability, Barbara was a good friend to many, he said. She proved this in 1999 by deciding to collect the aluminum-can tabs to help buy a wheelchair for a family friend with multiple sclerosis. In no time, she had friends and family constantly bringing over drink tabs.
"Let's say someone handed you $1,000. You'd probably be pretty excited, right? Well, that's how she was every time she received a drink can," her brother said, looking at a photo of his sister taken two days before she died. "We threw her a surprise 40th birthday party... When she opened a gift, it had a canned drink in it. Well, it's like she won a million dollars right there."
George estimates she probably collected 1.5 million tabs over the years.
"When she had something on her mind, there was no stopping her, no way," he said.
Little did Barbara know the Seven Oaks School Division tabs-collection committee in Winnipeg was collecting can tabs for a similar reason.
The committee was created in 2003 to raise money to buy bikes, trikes, wheelchairs and mobility devices for students with special needs. By collecting can tabs and donations, they have been able to help nine students. The program quickly took off through partnerships with other schools, charity organizations and churches.
"In 2005, we'd already collected over three million tabs," said Carol Anandranistakis, committee representative and secretary at Victory School.
Sandy Loewen, committee representative and physiotherapist at the Winnipeg Rehabilitation Centre for Children, said to purchase a standard specialized tricycle, they would need more than 71/2 million tabs. The trikes are important to students, giving them physical activity and freedom to enjoy their surroundings.
"It certainly contributes to their quality of life and participation in the community and at school," Loewen said.
George agrees, recalling his sister growing out of her own tricycle as a child and becoming unable to participate in family activities.
"If a family with a challenged child can go for a bike ride, that's priceless," George said. "If that child stays at home and the others go, they know. They know what they're missing out on."
The tabs George gave the committee on Barbara's behalf were brought to the scrap-metal dealer Wednesday, bringing in $127 toward the next child's bike.
Barbara died of a seizure on Aug. 15, 2011. George recalled his favourite memory of his sister by pointing to her picture. They went to a festival two days before she died, where George said she loved to meet new people.
As George wiped away tears remembering his sister, the sound of children heading out to recess filled the air at Victory School.
"She's definitely left a legacy."

My lower and upper abs were done 2 wks ago and I am still quite swollen.
How Long is Swelling Expected After Cool Sculpting?
Doctor Answers 7
Swelling after Coolsculpting
Swelling can last a few weeks after Coolsculpting. 2 weeks is not uncommon. Some patients have said they still have some at 3-4 weeks. Wearing a compression garment can help, as well as massaging the treated area. If you have not noticed it resolve after 4 weeks, make sure to follow up with your provider that did your treatment. Good luck.

Swelling following CoolSculpting treatments is not uncommon and typically may last, on average, about 2 weeks -- although we've seen minor swelling for longer periods of time on occasion. This does not impact the outcome of results. If there are post-procedure concerns, I recommend frequent follow-up appointments with your physician.
Swelling after Cool Sculpting
Patients may have swelling for a few hours to two weeks after the procedure. The coolsculpting procedure is entirely painless but there may be some swelling and tenderness after the procedure. These are all normal post procedure. We have been using Zeltiq coolsculpting for years now and have found it very safe and effective with wonderful results. Please let me know how your procedure goes.

How Long Does Swelling Last After Coolsculpting?
The swelling lasts anywhere from several days up to 2 weeks. It depends on which applicator you had, was the applicator stack treated, and whether the fat was loose or fibrous. The best way to treat it is with Motrin or Aleeve, and to Ace Wrap the area. It doesn't last that long and you will start to see great results once it goes away.

Swelling after CoolSculpting is temporary.
Dear writer, varying degrees of swelling in the treatment area may be seen following CoolSculpting, though for many patients the swelling is mild. The swelling may be present anywhere from a few days or one week, to several weeks. Still noticing swelling at 2-weeks post treatment is not alarming, and I predict it should start resolving from this point on. Always follow up with your provider if complete resolution is not attained by 1 month. Best wishes, Dr. Bowes

Pioneer Announces MEP-7000 Player & SEP-C1 Controller
Pioneer, most likely exhausted after getting the SVM-1000 to market, has unleashed the MEP-7000 Multi Entertainment Player, and the SEP-C1 Software Entertainment Controller for the mobile DJ, and bush-league bar market. Snappy names, right?
The MEP-7000 enables users to play MP3/AAC files stored on various memory formats, along with playback of music from conventional media such as CD/CD-ROM/DVD-ROM discs. The system can also be setup to playback and mix music automatically using playlists, allowing the system to entertain when no DJ is present.
Pioneer claims the MEP-7000 and SEP-C1 are a response to the trend of laptops being utilized by professional DJs (…and iPods in Lounges. —Ed.) Recent developments have changed the way mobile and club DJs organise and play their music. No longer carrying boxes of vinyl or CD's full of music. Laptops, USB flash media and hard drives are becoming standard amongst the DJ community.
Key new features to this product type are the 4.3-inch color LCD screen that transforms into a Karaoke playback device when a CD-G disc is inserted, displaying the playback video on the display, but can also be fed to external monitors using the composite video output terminal. The SEP-C1 works as a software controller when used in conjunction with compatible software such as the bundled "DJS" from Pioneer. This allows the user to manage and control playback of audio files stored on your computer, to give full scale DJ performance without the need for a mouse or keyboard.
• Dynamic digital media playback and MIDI-control via USB
• The MEP-7000 allows USB control from either PC or Mac.
So, besides music from CD/DVD, the MEP-7000 lets DJs play music files, such as MP3 / AAC / WAV / AIFF, stored on USB keys, HDD, CD-R/RW and DVD±R/RW. The unit is also compatible via USB with Pioneer's DJS software or applications such as Serato Scratch LIVE or Traktor – without the need for a time coded disc. USB connectivity furthermore means that the SEP-C1 can easily be used as a MIDI controller for MIDI-compatible computer applications.
• Area-Color OEL display / 4.3-inch color LCD for express music mapping
The innovative 4.3-inch color LCD enables rapid track searches from music libraries. To achieve this, the MEP-7000 adopts an industry-first Area-Color OEL (Organic Electroluminescene) display, ensuring that the user can see performance data in harsh lighting conditions.
• Scratch-happy Jog Wheel and a wide range of effects (Yes, that's their language, "Scratch-Happy" What's the matter with him doctor? Oh, he's just stratch-happy… —Ed.)
The Touch Sensor Jog Wheel is capable of controlling various scratch sounds and these definitely broaden the scope of any DJ performance…and boy howdy! The MEP-7000 carries 3 patterns of Scratch Jog Effects (SCRATCH, BUBBLE and TRANS) and 3 patterns of Digital Jog Break Effects (JET, ROLL and WAH), which vary depending on the DJ's choice and use of the Jog Wheel.
• Effects
Effects lovers will be pleased to know there are also 8 patterns of DJS Effect (DELAY, ECHO, AUTO PAN, AUTO TRANCE, AUTO FILTER, FLANGER, REVERB and PITCH SHIFTER) available, and that these can all be synced with the BPM (Beat Per Minute), if required. Only when connected to DJS via the USB connectivity.
• Auto Mix enables automatic mixed playback of tracks from the Play List
The MEP-7000 uses an Auto Mix function that allows auto mix playback of tracks registered on the Play List. There are then 4 patterns of Mix Mode (ECHO, ZIP, CUT IN and CROSS FADE), allowing music to be mixed in a selected style and played automatically.
• Library Function: Select tracks from various categories, such as genre/artist.
• Tempo Control Range: Choose from 4 maximum ranges for the tempo slider: ±6%, ±10%, ±16%, and WIDE ±100%. (WIDE mode is not available with MP3/AAC/WAV and AIFFs files.)
• Pitch Bend Button: Achieve fine adjustment of track speed simply by pressing the button.
• Seamless Loop: Repeats a loop without interruption. Loops can be set as small as approx. 0.013 seconds up to infinity.
• Hot Loop: Return to a loop-in point during loop playback. Start over the loop playback by just pressing a button.
• Memory Cue/Loop: The unit can memorise any CUE/LOOP point at the press of a button.
• Auto BPM (Beats Per Minute) Counter: Automatically measures and digitally displays a track's tempo.
• Digital Output and Monitor Out Terminals: Output audio digitally and select tracks using a large external display.
• Keyboard Available: Select tracks swiftly and input characters directly.
• Legato Link Conversion: Reproduces richer and more natural sound with WIDE range playback by up sampling, 44.1 kHz → 176.4 kHz, the audio information lost in a CD format.
• Vibration Proof Construction: Shockproof memory plus floating mechanism used in Pioneer's Car audio components helps prevent skipping and resists vibration.
• Rack-Mount-Ready: Ready for rack mounting, which is useful for club/studio installations. (EIA compliant)
The Pioneer MEP-7000 will be available from April 2008 for €1499, and the SEP-C1 controller will set you back €749. More information on the Pioneer MEP-7000 and SEP-C1.

With the altitude of 2000 meters, Zixi Mountain is considered as "the first mountain in the central part of Yunnan" since ancient times. It is considered to be the holy land for Buddhism even when it was in the Song Dynasty. There are thousands kind of plants, many kinds of animals and Buddhist buildings. Records say many famous historical hierarches had been cultivated them here. In the Ming and Qing Dynasty, Zixi became a famous Buddhism place. Today, there are 68 relics of Buddhism temples and 21 Buddhism towers remained here. The environment is quiet and the scenery picturesque too, with the green pine forest stretch to horizon, and red azalea decorated in it, limpid streamlets running through the mountain.
Plant: There are more than 202 species of higher plants in 65 genus and over 107 species of animals. Actually, it's a world of plants and animals.
Camellia: The Zixi Mountain also abounds with camellia. According to the research, there were more than 60 camellia plants in the area which are believed to be cultivated 200 years ago in the mountain. The history of the cultivation, the variety of the species and the enrichment of the color of the camellia here are the second to none in Yunnan. There's a saying: Camellia in Yunnan exceeds all in China, and camellia in Zixi exceeds all in Yunnan.
Torch Festival: There is a saying here says that if you don't dance during the torch festival, it will remain a great pity in your life. From here we can figure out the importance of the local torch festival. Besides the open fire party, an activity name "carry bride" is also very interesting. 10 girls are chosen from the crowd to be the brides and covered with traditional red head shawls. 10 young men are also chosen from the crowds to be the bridegrooms. Then the brides and the grooms are asked to dance together for some time. Then, the brides are placed in a different order and the grooms are asked to find their original brides. Those who find out the correct one may carry her away. And those who fail to find the right one will be fined to make performance in public with their face covering with inks.
Origin of famous flowers in Yunnan province:Of the eight most famous flowers in Yunnan Province (namely camellia, orchid, azalea, yulan, gentian, yingchun and green plush fungus), seven can find their origin here in Zixi Mountain.
Solo Adventure Tips:
How to Get There?
Minibuses go form Chuxiong to Zixi every 30 minutes at the Hongqi Hotel and it is very convenient for the visitors. Tourist facilities are well developed in the Zixi Mountain area. You can spend about RMB 80 staying here for a day and a night. Communication will not be a problem since the telecom signals cover all the mountain areas here.

Opening Hours:
All day
More Tips:
1.One of the wonders in Zixi Mountain is the camellia cultivated more than 1000 years ago, which is believed to be the oldest one in China. It is called Tongzhimian, meaning "face of the child", as two colors of flowers will bloom, first red, then white 2.Recommended time for a visit:A day and a night to enjoy the wild life

Sample Sunday: Amara from I Am Yours:
Two days had passed since I acted like a cat in heat in my office and Noah was only too happy to take me out of my misery. We'd moved from my desk to the wall, then to the floor, barely stopping to breathe in between sessions. Sex between us had always been a marathon where we teetered between sprinting and going long distance. Whatever way we came together it was always in sync. We instinctually knew what to do to please each other. He knew how to bite my neck at just the right place right as I was getting ready to climax. I knew to pull his ass into me just as he was close to murmuring or hollering my name.
We know each other and I know that I'm falling and falling fast.
When we finally stopped to rest, me straddling him on his lap, our breathing slowing, he rubbed my back and I snuggled and sighed into his neck breathing in the musky scent of him. That moment was what it was all about. That moment when you know you are with the one that brings you peace. When you feel most like yourself and not like an imposter. When you feel love and know you are loved.
I drove out to Cami's apartment in Highland Park that Saturday, to join her for a jewelry party she was hosting. Cami had an entrepreneurial spirit that showed itself in the form of her selling jewelry, candles, and skin care products. Me being the wonderful friend that I am, I supported each venture stopping short of signing up to sell the products too. I just don't have the time to invest in all the parties and stuff. Or maybe it's because of all the social contact involved in the hours I'd rather be alone. Either way, I enjoyed these things with her handling it and me chewing on tasty hors d'oeuvres while selecting items I had no real use for but ended up being displayed in my house. Cami is my girl.
I entered her apartment with my key, the smell of Mexican cooking hit me, smiling as I listened to her singing off key to Beyoncé's Crazy In Love. The big bright pink fiesta sign that said, "Hola" let me know what her theme was for the evening. I moved toward her small galley style kitchen and surprised her when I joined in on her singing "Got me lookin so crazy right now. Your love's got me lookin so crazy right now!"
"Girl you scared the mess out of me!" She was holding onto her chest and I might have been worried if she wasn't grinning. She gave me a quick hug before going back to her grilled chicken pieces.
"Need help with anything?" I asked hoping she had it covered while moving to sit down before I fell down. Having hot sex for the first time in a long time tended to wear you out. I was worn o-u-t. You hear me? Well. Fantastically worn. The way his hands held my hips, pulling me into him on each deep thrust. I had to do a mental head shake just to clear my head of the image of our skin sliding against each other as we worked our way to another mind-blowing orgasm.
Pretty soon my hands would start to tremble if I didn't stop thinking about him. But his constant texts with my responses back to him were a reminder of what we'd done and that we wanted to do it again, preferably today. But I was avoiding the look he'd given me before he walked me to my car the other night. It was the look that said he wouldn't accept just this. There had to be more.
"What did you do, girl?" I looked over at Cami who was observing me intently.
"What are you talking about?" Dang. She didn't miss a thing!
"Well for one, I told you I was cool that I just needed you to help me greet folks when they start rolling in at five. And the other thing is you have this "he fucked the shit out of me" look that I haven't seen since. . . wait, since you were with Noah."
I couldn't hide my grin; unable to contain it despite the consequence of her asking me more questions I really didn't want to answer.
"Did you hook up?" When I nodded she sat down next to me at her bistro table. "I mean did you screw him?"
"Yes! And why must you be so, so, crude about it. We had sex."
"Amara, you and Keith have sex. You and Noah, screw. Y'all go hard, heavy. Get it in. He blows your back out."
I busted out laughing. "You are a mess. Okay, yes. We screwed and it was good."
"I can tell. You are glowing," She smiled.
Her words were sincere. Not one bit of sarcasm which made me admit, "I'm afraid though."
"I knew you would be when this happened," she said and when I gave her a look she said, "Come on; the whole world knew you'd make it back together. You just needed to stop fighting it, Sis. So tell me, where did you do it? Some broom closet somewhere?"
"No," I laughed. In my office. On the desk. Against the wall. Sideways, upside down. You name it, we did it. But I kept that to myself. Some stuff you just didn't share—not even with your closest girlfriend.
"So what comes next?" I shrugged, because admittedly, I really had no idea. When I said I'd worry about picking up the pieces afterwards, I never anticipated there'd be no pieces. I didn't feel pulled apart really. Only fantastically whole, like he was what I needed in order to feel alive, and again, I was terrified and giddy at the same time.
I watched her get up to take the chicken off the fire and move it to the side and start chopping veggies for the fajitas.
"I have to give that more thought, Cami. This man, has me all wrapped up and we've just started again. That's what terrifies me about him. That he can do that to me. It's like he pulls the strings. But where will he try to pull me, if I let him?"
She sighed while now sautéing the peppers and onions. "That's called love, Amara. When you love, you have to trust. There is no other way to do it. See where it takes you. If it falls apart, you will have had one of the greatest times in your life. If it lasts forever, you'll never have to know what it feels like for it to end. But until you take a chance, you'll never know."
She kept her back to me but her posture was so tense like she was holding back something and I realized it had been a while since I asked what was going on with her. The project, Noah, my mom. My father. All of it had kept me in my own feelings.
"I hear you." Wanting to change the topic and to become a better friend I asked, "So what's been going on with you?"
"Nothin'," she said while her back was still to me.
"Which tells me everything. You always have a million and one things going on." And she did. She was a kindergarten teacher, she volunteered at the senior citizen's home in Glendale. She was an active member of her sorority, running fundraising events every month. And she had all these side hustles.
She turned to me then and leveled with me finally. "Okay. I'm seeing someone but before you ask me a lot of questions, it's new and I'm not sure about him yet."
"So how can you tell me to trust and go full steam ahead?"
"Because you and Noah are like two halves of a whole—that's why. This guy is new and I need to see if he'll do the things he says he'll do. Been down that road before."
"I know." And we both remained silent reflecting on the man that left her pregnant with a black eye and broken heart. Timothy was the reason I was putting the brakes on Keith and I. When that loser found out she was pregnant, he got violent and she ended up staying with me for a few months before finding a place on her own. While she was with me, she'd lost the baby.
She always claimed it was a blessing in disguise and I guess I could understand that. Not wanting to be tied to a person with such ugliness inside of them. But still to lose both things you wanted, had to be hard. And hard seems like too simple a word.
"Well, whoever he is, he needs to treat you right. And when you're ready to tell me more, I'm here to hear about him."
She gave me a small smile but it never reached her eyes. She seemed a little sad but intent on not talking about it which I understood all too well. When you weren't ready to talk, no one could pry it out of you. They needed to just let you be, and that's what I had to do for her. I let it go and finished helping her set up even with my awesomely sore limbs.
That night after I left her place, having ordered three pairs of dangling silver earrings and a sterling silver bangle bracelet, I thought about what Cami had said. Love and trust must come hand in hand. Otherwise it doesn't work. And Noah wanted my trust along with my love. He already had one from me. Could I risk it all and give him the other?
I got in the house and started a bath. While I waited for the tub to fill with Vanilla scented bubble bath and some Epson salt, I grabbed my phone and sent a text to Noah. "I'm ready. At least I'd like to try."
Before I could even put my toe in the water he replied with, "I'm happy to hear it. Can we start right now?"
"I'd love to," I responded while hoping he'd at least allow me to soak so I could be ready for more of his sweet punishment.

I'm African American, and i go to a predominately white college (black people are 9.5%) and it seems like all my friends ( mostly white girls) have no problem finding dates or boyfriends. We all go to frat parties together and they all can find guys chatting them up and no one ever approaches me. Is it race or?https://instagram.com/magsleigh1/
Most Helpful Guy
The fact is that you go to school in a Southern town. Don't get freaked out... your friends are all wearing Alabama attire- that's how I know.
So the problems you're facing may involve one or all of the following, in no particular order:
1) Racism
2) Taste
3) Cultural differences
4) Status
Racism is the obvious one here. Taste; you said yourself there are practically no minorities at your school. Maybe most of those guys are just used to dating white girls. Culture; you're Black, they're White, there's a difference and you know it. I'm Hispanic and all three of us are different. Different taste in comedy, different taste in sports, different taste in music, how we conduct ourselves, etc. Status; maybe the folks at your school come from affluent families and you don't, or vice versa, this is kinda intertwined with culture.
Don't be fooled into thinking that it's not racism or prejudice tho. The general public likes to think highly of themselves. The fact is that people are still racist as fuck. I live in Los Angeles, you'd think this place would be a social vanguard, right? Negative, I've been on the receiving end of racist remarks from- yup- white people.00|00|1
