eBay purchased PayPal in 2002 for $1.5 billion. In my view, if eBay did a partial spinoff, the combination of unlocking PayPal's stand-alone value and trader hype could lead the payment company's new shares to grow significantly.

I have
too many plotbunnies.
YOU CANNOT JUDGE ME. (Breaks down in tears)
Disclaimer-Oddly enough, I am not the owner of pokemon. So, with all due respect, don't ask stupid QUESTIONS.
A Different Type of Contest
Chapter 1-Sneaking Around
it's just across this lake." whispered Lixxy.
"This is a bad idea. No-one has ever got in there without an invitation." said the Arcanine behind her.
"And has anyone ever tried, dear Metela?" purred the voice of a Milotic, silently waiting in the water. "Lix has the right to try. Besides, it should be fun."
"Yea, fun like a swarm of rabid beedrills." said a Raichu, also behind them.
"Ooh, beedrills? How fun! That would be great, if I was an idiot." said a Bayleef.
"Viretha, Raphael, there's no point. They're not listening." said Metela, the Arcanine.
A spash of
water struck the Arcanine.
"Ciel?" asked Metela, with gritted teeth.
"Hehe.." said a Lunatone with a laugh. "Stop being so serious. Good luck, Lix! Bring back a nice friend!"
Lixxy blew the Lunatone a kiss, and dived quietly into the water. Mimaru followed her, the two moving through the water silently.
Towards Blackthorns Dragon's Den.
* * *
said Lixxy. "Be vewy vewy quiet…"
"Stop quoting cartoons, Lix." whispered Mimaru.
The two
were now actually inside the Den, still swimming, still undetected.
Lixxy was about fourteen, pretty, long brown hair curly, partway down
her back. She was currently wearing a swimsuit and a belt, whereas
normally she'd have a skirt and a t-shirt, maybe even a cloak.
They were looking for a Dragon type. After a contest in Goldenrod, Lixxy had become obsessed with the idea of becoming a master co-ordinator. This required going to Hoenn next. She also said that starting with a beautiful pokemon would make everything easier.
So they were looking for a Dragonair.
And it was hard..
found a couple of magikarp, even a few seadra. But no dragons.
Of course, Lixxy's complaining was the cue for one.
aren't there any?"
"Lix, there's one behind you."
She turned in the water, subconsciously reaching for the translator she wore in her ear. It was there, working.
she said. "What's your name?"
The Dragonair in front of her blinked, and drew back.
"Umm… hello…" said the Dragonair quietly. It was clearly a she. "I'm… Dream."
"Hello, Dream." said Lixxy. "I've been wondering if there are any Dragonair around who'd like to go on a journey."
Dream wasn't sure about that… she'd heard bad things about some trainers… but only good ones were allowed in here… And it did sound interesting. And she did seem nice… and that was a Milotic… a Milotic?
They were
rare, and took a lot of care and attention to look after.
Maybe she would… maybe…
"Um… I'd be honoured." said Dream.
grinned, pulling a pokeball from the belt she wore.
"I need you to touch this. I'll let you out in a minute, but there are legal issues." she said, holding out the pokeball.
Dream touched it with her nose, and vanished in a flash of red
Lixxy immediately opened it.
"Welcome." said Lixxy. "We really should go now."
"Wh… why?" stammered Dream.
"Because I snuck in against Clair's explicit commands." said Lixxy simply. "Let's go."
Umm… oops? Thought Dream. Well, she still seems nice…
It was as
they were heading for the exit that there was a splash behind
They turned.
"That's one of the trainers…" sighed Lixxy. "We're probably going to have the beat them."
It was, a follower of the almost religious group of dragon users. He shouted something unintelligible, throwing a pokeball into the water.
With a flash of red light, a Kingdra materialised.
about this." said Lixxy cheerily, and turned to Mimaru.
Two pulses of blue-grey energy and the Kingdra was unconscious. Dragon Pulses.
The trainer was silent for a second, and then he turned to run, returning his unconscious pokemon as he screamed for help.
"I think we should leave faster." said Lixxy.
* * *
Lixxy was
halfway to Hoenn when the message came through on her pokegear.
She was banned from Blackthorn City.
"Oh well." she said. "Worth it."
"What's up, Lix?" asked Raphael.
The rest
of her pokemon were getting to know Dream a little better.
"Oh, nothing. Just a little cause an affect. Go get to know Dream."
The Raichu did so.
Lixxy gazed upon the ocean as they travelled. Her mind was already in Hoenn, and in her mind she was already the best co-ordinator.
In her eyes, it was simply a matter of time.
* * *
Heh. Lix. Thank you for that name, Thornsie.

The U.K.'s Hinkley Point Deal
What are the terms of the deal that has been approved?
The U.K. government has approved the building of an £18 billion ($23.8 billion) nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point, in southern England. About a third of the funding for the plant will come from a state-owned Chinese company, China Nuclear Power Corp., and it will be built by French utility giant Electricité de France SA. In approving the deal Thursday, Mrs. May's government said it was adding certain conditions, including that the U.K. will be able to intervene in the sale of EDF's controlling stake in Hinkley. The government also said it will take a "special share" in all future nuclear projects to prevent stakes being sold without government agreement.
Why does the U.K. government want the deal?
The creation of Britain's first new nuclear plant in a generation will ease the pressure on Britain's energy supply, the U.K. government says. According to the government, it is expected providing 7% of Britain's electricity needs for 60 years.
Why is it so contentious?
Politicians have expressed concerns about this deal on economic and security grounds. Economically, some say the terms of deal will translate into higher energy prices for British consumers. Others have expressed concerns about giving China access to critical infrastructure in the U.K. The project has also proved controversial in France, with some senior EDF officials and labor unions worried about its impact on the company's finances.
How have the Chinese and French reacted to approval of the deal?
The French government and EDF welcomed the decision, with one company official saying the changes requested by the U.K. government were minor and there was no need for new negotiations. China General Nuclear Power Corp. said it was "delighted" with the British government's decision.
What does this say about the U.K.'s approach to foreign investment?
Mrs. May's move in July to delay a decision on the deal had raised questions about whether her administration would take a more cautious approach to foreign investment, including from the Chinese, whom her predecessor David Cameron had assiduously courted. While Mrs. May appears to be more cautious on Chinese investment, her decision to proceed suggests she wants to signal the U.K. remains open to foreign investment.

You see I had been quite lazy to make some. I know there are some good Mexican restaurants in our area which are all reasonably priced so I never bothered to make our own homemade version. When we went to the grocery the other day I found this gluten free brown rice tortillas and seeing that inspired me to make enchiladas that hubby can enjoy. If you don't know yet, hubby is on gluten free diet as anything with wheat doesn't agree well with his constitution. Besides if I made it I could also satisfy my craving for something tasty with a spicy kick to it.
It turned out I didn't have any Chili powder to make my enchiladas when I wanted to make it but thankfully I found some Cayenne pepper in our spice shelf. I added just a little bit of it plus some ground cumin and then this flavorful enchiladas came into being! Feel free to use cayenne pepper or substitute with chili powder if that is what you have. Adjust the heat level to your liking. Enjoy!
Beef and Bean Enchiladas
Hearty and delicious is this homestyle Beef and Bean Enchiladas that my family enjoys! You'll keep coming back for more.
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 1 hour
Yield: 6-8
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, divided
- 1 lb ground Beef
- 1/2 teaspoon ground Cayenne Pepper*
- 1 teaspoon ground Cumin
- 1 can Pinto Beans, drained, half the beans smashed
- 1 (8 oz) pack Mexican cheese blend, divided
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 (8 oz) can Tomato sauce
- Half of an (8 oz) can Tomato paste
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream, plus more, if needed
- 6 large Brown Rice Tortillas* or 14-16 small Corn Tortillas
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
*I used Trader Joe's.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Heat the oil in a large pan or skillet. Add the ground beef and cook until it changes its color. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the ground cayenne and cumin and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Place in a large bowl and mix in with half the cheese and the pinto beans.
- In the pan where the beef was cooked, pour the remaining olive oil and heat up. Saute the diced onion and cook until soft.
- Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste and chicken broth and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the sour cream.
- Add 1 cup of the onion and tomato sauce into the ground beef mixture and pour and spread another 1 cup into a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- To soften the tortillas for easy rolling, I simply heat them up in a large skillet or frying pan (like a dry fry) very quickly (just several seconds) until they are pliable.You can also use the microwave to do the work (but I don't have one so I do things manually which is fine for me).
- Place about 3 heaping spoonfuls of the ground beef mixture into the warmed up tortilla (if using large tortillas that's the amount so adjust the quantity if using smaller ones). Roll and place into the baking dish with the seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Drizzle the rolled tortillas with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake until bubbly and fully heated through about 30 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes. Enjoy heartily!

- Investment of Significant Corporate Funds with Mr. Johnson's Company, Leading to Significant Losses. Forward has invested nearly $2 million of corporate funds with LaGrange Capital Administration LLC, of which Mr. Johnson is the managing member and entitled to advisory fees, comprised of a 1% asset-based fee and a 20% performance fee. As a result of these activities, Forward recognized approximately $722,000 of net investment losses during fiscal year 2013. I have come to believe that this investment strategy is an unreasonable and inappropriate use of corporate funds that benefits Mr. Johnson at the expense of Forward's shareholders.
- Issuance of New 6% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock. In June 2013, a special committee of the Board unilaterally designated and issued a new series of 6% senior convertible preferred stock to Mr. Johnson and eleven other investors (including another member of the Board—and former LaGrange Capital partner—Tim Gordon), with preferential dividend, governance, and liquidation rights that materially impact the rights of the Company's common stockholders. This private placement was made without any input from (or prior notice to) me or independent director Howard Morgan. Assuming the validity of this issuance, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Gordon, and the other preferred stockholders are entitled to a 6% cumulative dividend, and have the right to demand a so-called liquidation payment (currently equal to $1,275,000) upon certain events, including a change in the composition of a majority of the Board as a result of a proxy contest (a measure clearly designed to entrench a subset of the Board, in my view). Moreover, the terms of the preferred stock prohibit the Company from paying dividends on its common stock without the consent of the preferred stockholders.
- 500%+ Increase in Rent Payable to Mr. Johnson's Company. In May 2014, it came to light that Mr. Johnson was benefiting from yet another lucrative deal with the Company. In February of this year, Forward began leasing an office space for its CEO, Robert Garrett, from Mr. Johnson's LaGrange Capital at a rate of $2,500 per month, or $30,000 per annum. As of April 1st, however, the Company agreed to increase the amount of rental charges payable to Mr. Johnson's fund to $12,700 per month, or $152,400 per annum. Putting aside the obvious question of why the Company should be paying for an expensive one-man NY office at all, given that the rest of our executive team and head office is in Florida, I find it shocking that the Company would agree to a 500% increase in rent payable to our Chairman without bringing the matter to the full Board. In my view, there is no evident reason for this increase or benefit to the Company in agreeing to it.
Terence Bernard Wise, the largest shareholder and member of the board of directors of Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORD), a designer and distributor of custom carry and protective solutions, sent a letter to the Board of Directors of Forward warning it against taking any further action that may destroy value and further entrench the Board. The full text of the letter delivered to the Board is as follows: July 1, 2014 Mr. Frank LaGrange Johnson, ChairmanMembers of the Board of DirectorsForward Industries, Inc.477 Rosemary Ave., Suite 219West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Dear Fellow Members of the Board: Last month, after more than six months of unsuccessfully petitioning Chairman Johnson and his supporters on the Board to address Forward's chronic underperformance and poor corporate governance, I was compelled to bring my concerns directly to Forward's shareholders and nominate a new slate of seven highly qualified candidates for election to the Board at the 2014 Annual Meeting. On June 20, 2014, I issued a press release expressing my frustration with the Board's (specifically, Mr. Johnson's and his supporters') unwillingness to engage in a constructive dialogue regarding these matters and the significant destruction of shareholder value at Forward. I believe that the Board, through its past actions, has lost credibility with shareholders and lacks the mandate to continue to serve as stewards of the shareholders' capital ahead of the 2014 Annual Meeting. Accordingly, I am compelled to restate certain of my concerns and urge you to refrain from taking, or supporting management in taking, any actions that may further devalue our company or deprive shareholders of their right to determine the composition of the Board and the direction of their Company at the 2014 Annual Meeting. Over the past year, a subset of the Board (from which myself and Howard Morgan have been consistently excluded) has overseen and approved a number of highly questionable transactions, in each case involving Mr. Johnson (and often other insiders). I believe these related-party transactions are highly inappropriate given the Company's financial circumstances and demonstrate a troubling lack of independence on the Board. Some particularly egregious examples include:

Manufactured Spending Without the Factory
The biggest problem most people have with credit card bonus programs is meeting the spending requirements for the bonus. Business owners have an advantage. Landlords do too. Meeting a $3,000 spending requirement in 90 days is a snap of the finger for even a relatively small business or side gig.
But not every side gig has enough spending that can go on a credit card and if you only own a few rental properties and maintenance is not currently required you will need another source of spending to earn a bonus.
Readers of this blog tend toward the frugal side. Spending for the sake of spending for a bonus is crazy and you guys know it. Your personal spending is probably too low to earn many bonus cash awards or miles. Travel hacking gets harder when you save most of your income.
Manufactured spending is the solution bandied around the blogosphere. It sounds so simple at first. Find a source where you can recycle fake spending into cash and miles rewards. Well, how do you do that?

Louisiana's already grim budget outlook got even worse on Wednesday.
The panel that identifies the state's projected income again lowered its expectations for the budget year that ends June 30, as well as the fiscal picture for the following year.
State legislators, who are gearing up for a budget-focused special session this weekend, will now have to come up with about $850 million in cuts to state services or new revenue to balance the current year's budget and more than $2 billion for the budget that begins July 1.
"For all practical purposes, Louisiana is in its own recession," said Greg Albrecht, the Legislature's chief economist. "It's come on pretty rapidly."
The Legislature will begin grappling with the bleak budget outlook with just a third of the budget year remaining, so state agencies and higher education leaders have noted that any cuts will be even more pronounced over the next four months.
The Revenue Estimating Conference unanimously agreed that dips in corporate income and sales tax collections and falling oil and gas prices have been the major blows to the budget, and across the board, the tax collection outlook is sluggish.
"We've got weakness in the corporate sector, weakness in the personal income sector," Albrecht said. "We've got weakness in the sales tax sector. We've got weakness in the mineral sector."
The state is operating at a net negative on corporate income taxes — meaning it is paying out more in rebates than it is taking in as revenue.
"I've never seen corporate numbers this weak," Albrecht said.
The formal projection from the Revenue Estimating Conference is that collections will fall about $542 million below what was projected when the budget was adopted.
On top of that, Gov. John Bel Edwards' administration says former Gov. Bobby Jindal underfunded other programs, such as Medicaid, public schools and the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students, by another $300 million.
Edwards said he believes the real shortfall for the current year is likely to be about $943 million when other underfunded agencies are counted.
Edwards' administration and Republican legislators have generally agreed that a mix of tax hikes and budget cuts will be necessary to solve the budget crisis.
"The question remains, 'What is the exact combination to try to solve it?' " House Speaker Taylor Barras, R-New Iberia, said after the Revenue Estimating Conference meeting. "I'm assuming that there will be some shortfalls and some revenue-raising measures."
Both are expected to be on the table during the special session that begins Sunday.
Edwards, in a meeting with editors from The Advocate on Wednesday, said he will present a proposal of $160 million in cuts first. Some of those cuts he can make on his own, he said, while others will need approval from the Joint Legislative Budget Committee or the full Legislature.
"We're going to do all three," he said.
His administration's plan for closing the gap includes taking $128 million from the state's "rainy day" reserves, redirecting $200 million in noncoastal oil spill settlement dollars and cutting funds that aren't constitutionally protected.
Edwards, a Democrat, also has proposed several tax options, including a 1-cent sales tax hike and a 22-cent increase in the state cigarette tax, to address the immediate shortfall.
"It's a parade of horribles if we don't raise revenues," he said.
Because the state budget is structured to constitutionally protect certain pockets of money, health care and higher education generally are seen as vulnerable when cuts are made.
Edwards said deep cuts to the state Medicaid program would cut into the offering of home hospice care for the terminally ill or dialysis treatments for kidney disease patients, while cuts to higher education could lead to students receiving unexpected bills this semester.
"We just can't go there," Edwards said.

Formation of Boulder
Hi everyone, I would just like to know if there is some kind of relationship that exists between a high titration target i.e CaCo3 content of kiln feed or silica content and boulder formation. Or is it primarily attributed only to low O2 content at the kiln inlet. Thank you. Have a nice day.

re Formation of Boulder
Hello Norew,
In my experience the formation of boulders is related more to process instabilities rather than raw material chemistry. Boulders normally occur above the burning zone, well before any normal alumino-ferrite liquid phase is is present, in locations that are prone to high sulphur recirculation.
Some people have claimed that high MgO content of raw materials is a contributing factor. But I have never actually seen or heard of any example of boulder formation that was conclusively attributed to high MgO in kiln feed. If conditions in the kiln are right, boulders seem to form whether the MgO is high or low.
Provided that your high kiln feed CaCO3 and SiO2 levels were reasonably constant (ie constant LSF) it would be difficult to think of a mechanism that would result in CaCO3 and SiO2 content alone contributing to the formation of a boulder.

Author has written 3 stories for Ranma.
In 2005 I attempted to give Reflections a general update and repost. The general chaos of my life had begun to settle down, and I thought I would be able to return to writing fanfiction long enough to finish up Vol 5. I began a revision of Vol 1, but decided to put it on hold on discovering that minor changes conceived as improvements lead to major changes as the work continued, and I have not decided whether to allow that or to just write an alternate version. I am still trying to get a real writing project off the ground; the idea being, if I can make a living at writing, I can afford to spend more time writing, and do a little fan fiction on the side.
04/08/06 : Okay, some changes have begun. Stuck In The Middle With You, the revised Vol 1 of Reflections is currently suspended. It's gone from FFnet for the immediate future. Without that to distract me, I will hopefully be able to focus a bit better on updating Vol 5! In addition, I've started a forum for fans of Reflections, and there ought to be a link somewhere in my profile now to take you to it! Give the initial post a look, it gives a little more detail on my plans for the moment.
07/05/06 : Well, hit a rocky patch at the end of June. Had to take a week off to move, so my writing schedule got a little derailed. I will be resuming work on Reflections Vol 5 in my free time and hope to be able to get the next part posted soon. My thanks to those of you who have been reading and leaving comments, especially those of you who visited my deviant art site! A few of you have mentioned spotting typos and grammatical errors... would it be too much to ask if you would point out where? I have a sort of blind spot for my own glitches. I tend to correct them in my head instead of actually seeing them!
08/17/06 : Ah, yes, it's been a bit longer than I promised... my apologies to my readers! The world has been keeping me quite busy and the fight sequence with Taro has proved to be a little more demanding than I had anticipated. It went through a few rewrites, but I believe the results are well worth the extra wait. I've been told that my fight sequences tend to be a little hard to follow so I tried to fix that this time around. I hope to finish the chapter and post it soon.
12/15/08 : It is sad to say, but a person cannot make a living writing fan fiction, so, while I've been struggling to make a living, I have not had time to write fan fiction. It was never my intention to let so much time pass between updates -- heck, I was planning to rewrite my entire epic! Unfortunately, I did. A writing project loses a lot of momentum during a long break, so it will not be easy to pick up the thread of the story without going back and reading what I've written. Assuming I can squeeze that in, I will pick up where I left off.
01/13/09 : I have finally stolen enough time to wrap up a new chapter and update the formatting for the previous parts of Volume 5 of Reflections. It has taken far too long to get this done, for which I am truly sorry. When my life fell apart in 2005, I did not realize it would leave me in a position where I could not write; I expected to have more free time, but with work, school and other obligations, I ended up with no free time at all. I moved to Alaska hoping to change that, and I did manage to get many problem in my life sorted out. Unfortunately, I was still working and studying most of the time, while getting my writing and art projects reorganized. Still, people kept reading and making comments, so I continued to work on Reflections. I got sick this weekend and missed a day of work -- and because I was out cold, I failed to call in ahead of time and was fired. I am wasting no time looking for a new job, but the unexpected free time was enough to get the last half of the chapter written. I usually check my work before posting it, but if there are any mistakes, point them out and I will try to get them fixed quickly. I do need to make a living, so I have to put my original art and writing ahead of fanfiction, but I will be working on the next chapter. I don't plan to let a year go by between updates again.
02/26/11 : Obviously, I was not able to keep it together and the story hung in limbo for two years. I'm sorry to say, the demands and distractions of school and work undermined all of my creative efforts, so I don't have much in the way of art or original writing to brag about either. My life in Alaska fell apart completely at the beginning of 2010 and I was forced to spend the next six months starting over at square one. I managed to keep up with school, and eventually found a decent job, and I graduated with a BS in IT for Visual Communications in October. I spent a few months blowing the rust off of my writing and illustration skills with little projects, a few of which went up on my deviantArt page. I went through all of my unfinished stories and they're all influenced by my gender and identity conflict, making all of them somewhat repulsive to the mainstream reader. It's sad to say, but my stories here kind of prove it. They only get a response from one percent of readers who love it or hate it. The issues I've wrestled with and put into words are too complex and confusing for most people. I know it's possible to dumb it down and make it accessible to everyone, but it's that complex and confusing knot of gender, identity, sexuality and intimacy that compels me to write. I may have sabotaged myself by putting so much effort into a work of fan fiction, but I don't regret giving my inner Ranko a voice. I'd finish the story for her even if you all hated it. On the other hand, every person who has said "I love this story, I am waiting eagerly to read more!" has given me a reason to post it for anyone to read. Be sure to thank them for part 8 and part 9!

As part of the City of Fremantle Economic Development Strategy 2015 – 2020, the City is delivering a city-wide pedestrian wayfinding system in line with world's best practice. The project is being supported by Tourism Western Australia and the State Government of Western Australia through the Tourism Demand Driver Infrastructure (TDDI) program.
The project will see the design, fabrication and installation of custom designed wayfinding signage modules across Fremantle.
What do the signs look like?
The City has undertaken extensive desktop research and worked closely with wayfinding experts to ensure a suitable balance between aesthetics and functionality. Systems that have been delivered in-line with world's best practice including Legible London, Bristol Legible City and Adelaide Wayfinding system were assessed to see how Fremantle can develop a world class legible and useable system within its own context.
Extensive research and consultation has suggested that:
- pedestrians look for consistency between signs from one point to the next on their journey. It creates comfort and certainty
- using the same colour, shape and format reassures the user that they are going the right way
- time and distance information aids journey planning and makes the decision to move between key activity nodes easier
- delivering the right information at the right time minimises excessive information/clutter and aids legibility
- Good signage encourages visitors to walk around the city which brings a number of economic benefits.
With this in mind Navigate Fremantle set out to achieve a system that considers the following:
- Fremantle's unique sense of place and identity
- function and utility
- legibility
- resilience of materials and ability to maintain the sign
- ability to integrate technology
- accessibility and inclusion
- Future proofing and longevity.
The result has been the design of a 'signage family' that provides different types and sizes of signs to suit different environmental conditions.
The signs feature heads up mapping to enable seamless user orientation and also leverage conspicuous landmarks as wayfinding tools by providing large graphical representations of them on the map. The maps also provide walking radius rings to provide users with the confidence they can explore different areas of the city with the time they have at hand. All symbology and terminology has been developed in line with international standards.
To achieve a strong connection to place whilst also maintaining legibility, accessibility and utility, the signs have been developed around a colour palette that draws on Fremantle's unique creative milieu and it's surrounding built form.
To build further on the system's connection to place, The City has also integrated indigenous artwork into one of the largest panels on the sign which references the connection to the adjacent Swan River. The artwork is a piece by Peter Farmer titled 'Maajit Boodja' and has been adapted to integrate with the module's overall design without impacting legibility or utility.
Measures have also been taken to ensure that the design considers accessibility. Extensive testing around colour blindness and viewing distances played a large role in informing the final design and location of modules, including the allowance of sufficient area surrounding the signs for wheelchair access.
When will it be happening?
The year 1 roll out of signage was completed in July 2016. Year 2 signage will be completed by February 2017.
Who is involved/responsible?
The project is being delivered by the City's economic development and marketing team in partnership with expert wayfinding consultants. Tourism Western Australia is also supporting the project through their Tourism Demand Driver Infrastructure Program after providing the City with grant funding to assist with the project.
Where will it take place?
The City will be installing a variety of modules throughout core activity centres located in the Fremantle CBD, North Fremantle and South Fremantle. The system intends to create a linkage between these three key destination zones. Specific locations within these areas have been determined by a team of urban design and wayfinding experts as well as through feedback from the community consultation process
Why is it important?
Key feedback from visitors in the past has indicated that current wayfinding throughout Fremantle is ineffective and not on par with a world class tourism destination.
A key outcome for this project will be to disperse visitors to additional emerging destinations offering a more diverse range of experiences and spending opportunities, allowing businesses in lesser known and outlying areas such as Wray Avenue, North/South Fremantle and the West End to better leverage Fremantle's visitor economy.
The project will also support expected growth in residents and workers as part of Fremantle's current $1.4 billion investment pipeline, through better directing members of the community and an increased visiting workforce to local businesses and local government services such as the Library, Leisure Centre, free WiFi hotspots and other important civic functions.
An improved way finding system will also reduce clutter and improve the urban realm creating a more attractive environment for visitors, residents and workers, and aid in attracting further investment to Fremantle.
Where can I find out more?

EGO: exploration proposal
by zechariah howell
Dear, king james I am trying to go exploring to north America I can provide you with multiple resources you can use for different occasions. For some things you might want troops for battles I can give you 5 gladiators and 2 reliable workers. My second offer is if you would like to have a teleportation ray from mars. This requires 2 special workers a decoy dummy and it only costs you 300 gwam. for my last final offers I can give you magic beans each time you throw one bean you will get 1 priceless wish to have anything you want. and last but not least I will give you a special to trade I would trade your ship and a sailor. if you want all of these items that will be 1688 gwam. I ask of you will you help me get to north America.
I was born in Spain 1523 my mother just got a new home westward. I was going to sail to England to trade with the great king James. from my offers I'm hope to get valuable resources for the family. to be able to go to England would be an honor and to see the king James. from the trip I hope to see paintings and sculptures. I wonder what it looks like now. iv heard story's from my father when I was a kid when he said that there was a war between the French and the English colonists in 1434.with king jams I am sure and positive he will like at least half of my offers. I want artifacts that I can keep forever. but the only problem is that I need a boat or a ship or some kind of transportation to get there. luckily there was a canoe off the resort it did not seem like anybody was using it so I grabbed all my items and headed strait for England. farther out deeper in the Atlantic ocean the more I was lost, my fingers would cramp up into a ball and would start to freeze. That's when I started to realize that I was in the middle of nowhere. then a ship with a unicorn on the front was sailing in my direction. As I waved for help the ship lowered the ladders for me to get onboard. The captain confronted me with a suckering smile. the captain was wondering about what I was doing out here in the open. The man asked me where I was headed to. I told the man I wanted to see king James for an offer and trade. The man just laughed and said that him and the rest of the crew were going there as well to have a new homeland. The captain told me there is another bunker below the deck go get some sleep you seem tired. before I went to the cabin I almost forgot to get the rest of my stuff. heading back to the upper deck I told the captain that I needed my bag. he told me he put it in the storage room. I headed back to my cabin ready to get some rest until the next day. It was now morning, sliding from left to right in the bed as the ship jerked back and forth. The ship was ready to go to the land. Once there a man in armor and a horse. He greeted us and told us to follow him to the castle. the front doors were made up of wood, wool, iron, and copper. The man in the armor said for us to go to the table the king is there. We bowed our heads to the king with honor and enjoyment. the King said that he needed some troops for the battle against the French. I showed him the gladiators and special workers. He accepted the king gave me copper, iron, wool, and gold. The king said that the Spanish, French, were coming to look for gold, and copper with iron. I was ready to head back home, the king said that I could come back anytime. we grabbed the crew and headed back for Spain. As in the middle again in the Atlantic ocean. the wind speed started to increase the water soon rose to the deck. this was a unusual storm. As everybody was on deck we all looked off the side of the ship to see what was happening. the was a tornado in the water other known as a whirl pool. the captain looked off the side and got blown down the ship was moving in all directions. no one was on the sail I had to grab the wheel to see if I can could turn us out of the wheel of death. the ship started to crack and break the more I tried, but there is no giving up now. I had an idea but it was a long shot, I wanted to see if I put it in full sail maybe because of the wind it could blow us out of the storm. The captain pulled the rope and the flew through the air like an airplane. the ship was totaled we were missing a sail but that storm brought us to land. The day was not that bad we got the things we needed and we were all at our homeland. I recommend we all do this again in the future.

Hillary had a pretty bad September, even most of her most die-hard supporters will concede that point.
She's had massive coughing attacks that interrupted campaign speeches and one of her very rare press conferences on her new campaign plane.
Then there was her infamous collapse at a 9-11 memorial event which had even the pro-Hillary press asking questions regarding her health. Of course, her staff quickly covered up for her and announced that she had pneumonia. Hillary attempted to garner sympathy by saying that she thought she could "power through" it.
A Quinnipiac poll taken on Sept. 26th noted that 73% of likely voters believe that Trump is healthy enough to be president. Contrast that with 58% of voters who believe that Hillary is healthy enough. It's certainly not looking good for the serial liar in that respect.
A McClatchy-Marist poll saw only 36% of voters believing that Hillary is "honest and trustworthy." Trump comes in almost 10 points higher at 44%.
Just when the Hillary campaign thought the bad news was waning, polls are showing that Trump is becoming more & more competitive in the electoral college count. States are coming into play that most pundits believed never would, for Republicans at least. Some general election polls also show the electorate is favoring Trump over Hillary.
The USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times "Daybreak" poll tracks 3000 voters everyday, up until the election. It should be noted that the L.A. Times IS a liberal rag. You'd think they'd try & skew their poll in favor of their candidate, but apparently they're involved with an experiment that involves telling the truth for once. Here's how their "honest" poll worked out.
A major liberal rag is showing that over 47% of voters are planning to vote for Trump compared to about 41% for Hillary. That trend has been continuous since about mid-September.
The funny thing? It's not showing any signs of changing course despite what some say was a very bad 1st debate for Trump.
On an aside, having run for office myself, (governor of California, and U.S. House), been the chairman of a state political party, and advised on many campaigns, I do have some thoughts about Trump's debate performance, but I'll keep them to myself. He's completely changed the political landscape with his brand of campaigning & strategy for winning. I would tell him to study up like mother f-cker for the final two debates, but it wouldn't matter. His people are the ones who have his ear, and they've done well with his "pivot" this month, getting him to stay on topic and to use teleprompters, etc. Trump will listen to them as he did earlier, and he'll come back as he always has. He's in it to win it. The pundits have been saying "It's the end for Trump!" since he began campaigning… and they've been proven wrong time & time again.
With that out of the way, here's the REALLY bad news that Hillary & her campaign didn't want to hear.
Trump is gaining in battleground states.
Michelle Jesse, Associate Editor for Allen West, noted the following:
"Trump is now leading or competitive in many key battleground states — including the bellwether Ohio. So alarmed is the left by this that The New York Times has suddenly determined that Ohio is no longer a bellwether state — an about-face from just earlier this month.
Whereas Trump started the month with what many considered was no path to an electoral win, he is widely acknowledged to have one now. And speaking of the electoral map, here's the latest from RealClearPolitics.
And while you can slice and dice and analyze this any number of ways, there is one key takeaway — just three words — that should have the Hillary camp panicked. Minnesota in play — right down there in the "Toss up" column. Quite possibly her most disturbing news yet."
Obama beat Mitt Romney by 7.7% in Minnesota in 2012. Just prior to Monday's debate, a Breitbart/Gravis poll had Trump and Hillary TIED in Minnesota.
Minnesota has a large population of Muslim refugees, and the state just saw it's first major terror attack with 9 people being stabbed at a mall in St. Cloud. That could explain why Trump is doing so well in the liberal state.
Many are saying Trump's debate performance will set his poll numbers back in battleground states. While true, and post-debate polls show Hillary getting a slight bounce, Trump can't be ruled out. Given his track record, he will most likely win the election.
The billionaire candidate has defied the odds time & time again throughout the election season. He is Much more determined to win than Hillary is, AND he has 1000 times the stamina coughing Hillary does.
Remember, Hillary has outspent Trump almost 10-to-1 on TV ads. What has it gotten her? Effectively, Nothing. Hillary has massively outspent Trump on television ads in Florida. So much so that the uber-liberal NY Times took note that her campaign is worried about her lack of traction in the state.
Hillary has spent over $20 million on ads in Florida. Trump has spent less than $2 million. For all of the money the Democratic nominee has spent in the state, the Real Clear Politics average of all polls shows her with a mere 1 point lead over Trump in the Sunshine State.
It's the primaries all over again. Trump was massively outspent, yet still DESTROYED his 16 opponents to clinch the nomination.
Hillary doesn't get it.
Trump is going to pull something out of his hat that could see him win this election in a landslide. Maybe he'll dump $200 million of his own money into his campaign at the last minute. Maybe he'll do an ad blitz in battleground states like he did near the end of the primaries. Maybe he'll follow his campaign manager's advice, again. Or maybe he'll just make something up.
Whatever he does, it'll come at shrieking Hillary's campaign sideways. And it'll stun the nation when he destroys the establishment (This time the Democratic one) once again.
Get ready for President Trump. The man honestly doesn't know how to lose. He knows how to win. Hillary's going to find out the hard way just like 16 other candidates did.
Rock on, Mr. T.

This is a true story. I wanted to write it down before I convinced myself it was all a dream, that I just cut myself on barbed wire while sleepwalking, maybe fell down the stairs and hurt my leg, I don't know. If you have experienced anything similar please, please respond, especially if you live locally.
So just a bit of background, I'll try and make this quick. My family and I moved here about two and a half years ago, a small town outside of Puyallup WA, on a 15 acre farm with four pastures. Our back left pasture, the "play field" is half wooded, half open, and mostly used to race quads in during the summer. It is the only field on our property with woods. Through this pasture — in the wooded section — and the pasture in front of it, runs a creek. This time of year the creek is normally flooded over and tonight was no exception.
A little less than a month ago, our Gypsy Vanner colt had been attacked and killed by a cougar. Since then, we have been on high alert for livestock security. Me and my siblings are on spring break, so my sleep schedule is all screwed up. I was up, texting my friend Nadine, cleaning my room and half assed playing with my ferrets, when I hear our LGD puppy (livestock guardian dog, sorry if I use lingo that people don't know, I'm so fucking freaked) start barking like crazy. My bedroom window faces the property, not the road, and I keep it cracked to hear the crickets and frogs at night.
I didn't even really register that she was barking at first, when I noticed, I yelled at her to shut up. I checked the time on my phone, early two-something in the morning. Suddenly I heard our horses whinnying and snorting. My heart pounding in my chest, all I could think of was the cougar. I decided to wait it out for a few, horses can get spooked easily so maybe they were just running around. God, I wish now that I'd stayed inside.
The horses weren't quieting and I was getting more anxious, so I went downstairs to knock on my mom's bedroom door (I would have tried waking up my dad -- the one with the guns -- but he works nights now). I threw on my boots, grabbed my headlamp and knife by the door, and headed out to check. Living on a farm I've learned that animals are priority, call it a motherly instinct maybe, I don't know, but I would do anything for them.
The pasture that held our horses was quiet (front left pasture, with the front half of the creek, without the woods.) but I could still hear the whinnying. I hushed our guard dog Mattie and checked on the horses in the front right pasture (our tenant leases the field). Everyone was fine. I decided to check the back two fields by the barn, by then I was wishing I had grabbed a rifle, or my brother's Red Ryder at the least. What was I supposed to do if it was a cougar?
Looking back now, I wish it had been.
By the barn, the moon was bright enough that I didn't need a head lamp. Tomorrow is supposed to be the full moon, the fog coming off the creek was lit up like a floodlight. The whinnying had stopped but I could hear a horse pacing. There wasn't supposed to be anyone out here, the horses had been moved up because of the attack.
Sorry, I know this is all kinda confusing, but this is the real part. The part I'm writing about.
That's when I saw it.
That's when I saw her.
A beautiful mare, I don't know what breed, we breed draft horses on our farm, but she was a light horse. When she saw me standing there, she stopped running about and stared. The only thing separating us was the gate to the pasture, and white fog.
She was incredible. I forgot about the cougar and coyotes immediately, that I will admit. She was solid black, and the moonlight accented every muscle on her body. Our horses still have a bit of winter fuzz, but she had a slick summer coat.
At first I thought she might be from the Arabian breeder down the road, but she wasn't an Arab. I still have no idea where she would have come from.
I whistled and she didn't even twitch an ear. She just stared at me. I tucked my pajama pants into my boots to keep them clean, zipped up my hoodie, and climbed over the fence.
I half expected her to run away or even charge at me; all she did was snort. As I jumped down into the mud, I felt myself sink a little. I clicked at her and stuck my hand out. I was close enough to smell her. She smelled like a combination of wet horse, and the woods the morning after it rains hard. I walked towards her slowly, suddenly aware that if she chose to rear and kick me, no one would know till morning. But I didn't care. I wanted to touch her, I needed to touch her. I can't explain the pull.
Each step I took made a nasty sloshing noise. (Now that I think about it though, I don't remember any such noise when she was trotting about.) When I got within arms reach she sniffed my hand. I expected warm moist breath, but it just felt cold. She whinnied and started to walk around me. I was so excited, I wanted to feel her beautiful coal colored coat so badly. Never have I wanted something more in my entire life.
I reached out my fingertips and barely touched her coat. It was wet, almost slimy. I scratched her shoulder and to my utter joy and astonishment she began to scratch and groom my head with her lips (if you've ever had a horse, you understand). I pulled my fingers through her mane, it only had one little knot in it (obviously well taken care of) but she had... Plants in it, I don't know what kind, but they were a bit slimy too.
As I stroked her coat I realized she was looking at me. Not just towards me, but straight at me, her eyes locked on mine. I might be exaggerating this part, but I swear to god, she was looking through me. Now, I know horses are smart, but this one seemed over the top. I thought she wanted something, she trotted about impatient. I thought, maybe she wanted me to ride her.
So, sorry, I have to add this part in real quick, my first summer here on the farm I got thrown off our horse Gizmo, got my first trip to the ER, and since then I've been nervous about riding. But here she was. I wished I had brought a stool or mounting block to stand on, and as soon as the thought finished in my mind, she laid down. Did this mean I could just get on her back from the ground? She nodded. She fucking nodded. I swear on my life and everything I hold dear that the horse nodded at me.
So I sat on her back. As soon as I did so I was filled with biggest adrenalin rush I'd ever had. She stood up and my fears from the summer before last, vanished. This horse seemed so steady and beautiful and perfect. I held onto her mane and kept my legs loose around her. She gave an excited whiny and started prancing like a horse in a parade. I was so exhilarated that I clicked for her to go faster, and she did! I couldn't see her feet as we ran through the fog. She raced the length of the open part of the pasture and I let go of her mane and put my arms out like I was flying above the clouds. I felt like I was flying!
But then it changed. Dear God it changed. She sped up and as she got to the end of the field, she turned around so suddenly that every ounce of dread and panic returned about riding. I clung to her neck for dear life. Suddenly I wanted off, I wanted to go home, I wanted to be in my bed away from this horse. As I tried to "whoa" her to slow her down but she wouldn't stop. My worst fears were realized as I was stuck on a wild mare, no reins or stirrups.
We have some trails through the woods for quads, and she suddenly darted toward them. We were on the trail "Chocolate Puddin'" that ended just after a bridge over the creek. She was heading for the water. I tried to let go of her neck but I was stuck! My arms were sticking to her skin! She didn't have hair on her neck now, it was like it had started to melt, it was cold and slimy and disgusting, like mud at the bottom of a lake. I don't know how else to describe it. As branches hit my face and arms, little trickles of blood dripped down. I accepted that I was done for. I was going to die out here and no one would know.
I could see the creek glittering from the moonlight that shone down through the trees, fast approaching. I could hear branches break with every hoofbeat.
To our left suddenly I heard howling. Never in my life have I ever been more thankful for coyotes. Why the hell a pack of coyotes would think they could take on a horse, I'll never know, but I don't care. It threw her -- it -- off long enough to make her slip, and slide right off the bank of the creek. As the beast fell, it landed my left leg, I didn't care, I didn't waste a second.
As soon as she was down, I was up, free from the horrific creature's sticky skin. Even in the dark I could see that it didn't even look like a horse any more; it snapped at me as I pulled my leg out from under it, and the thing had canine teeth! Its skin looked like it was melting off its face, its mane looked like black seaweed, and it smelled like water-bogged death.
I ran away as fast as I could. I sprinted back down the trail we had came from, as I got into the open part of the field I knew I was home free if I could just reach the fence. I tripped once from not being able to see my feet in the fog, but, quickly recovering, flew over the gate, past the barn, and into the house. Our guard dog was barking like mad again, this time at me. As soon as I got the back door shut, I leaned against it, locked it, and just started sobbing. By now my left leg was in crippling pain and my lungs felt ready to explode. My mouth tasted like blood and I think I got my tongue ring caught on my teeth at some point. But it doesn't matter. I'm alive.
As soon as I recovered, I got out my brother's laptop and started to type this. I'm scared to death that it's still out there. I didn't hear it chase after me on my way back, but that doesn't mean it's not still there. Nobody is going to fucking believe me, but it's true. Please, if anyone knows anything, email me, PM me, comment, anything.
That thing might still be waiting in the water. It wanted to kill me, drown me, eat me, I don't know. But I'm desperate for answers. I know I'll have to go to the ER tonight, but I should be online again by Monday night.
Please, help.

If people in the McCrory administration had as much integrity as they do chutzpah, we'd be home free. But sad to say, it ain't so. Case in point? John Skvarla's comments about his oh-so-close partnering relationships with environmental organizations who are working to clean up all the messes made by Duke Energy.
John Skvarla, the secretary of the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources, said Wednesday that the Southern Environmental Law Center is a "partner" in DENR's lawsuits aimed at protecting water against pollution documented at power plant sites owned by Duke Energy.
"We consider the citizens group to be on our side of the table," Skvarla said during a news conference. Court transcripts paint a different picture.
They show that an attorney representing DENR resisted efforts made by conservationist groups, represented by the SELC, to join as partners in the state's pending legal action against Duke. Also, in a letter written by Skvarla to the Journal in response to a story in November about threats posed by coal ash statewide, Skvarla described the SELC as a lawsuit-thirsty outfit that should not be allowed to set state policy. The November story, citing conservation groups, said DENR sued Duke in 2013 over federal and state clean-water law violations at the company's 14 power plant in part to thwart similar legal action that the SELC had intended to file.
"In order to keep the donations flowing to meet payroll, it is useful to create the illusion that there is an enemy to be vanquished," Skvarla wrote as he highlighted DENR's success in thwarting the SELC's attempt to sue the city of Thomasville over sewer issues.
I have to say that I feel terrible for the poor people who have to work under Skvarla at DENR. It must be totally demoralizing.
Rob Schofield also commented
"Last year, he (Skvarla) told the John Locke Foundation that we'd all be "wearing loincloths and living in lean-tos" if we followed the advice of environmental groups."
Well, if we follow the advice of Skvarla and the John Locke Foundation, we'll be drinking arsenic and bathing in coal ash all day while his "friends" make a few bucks off of our misery.
I wouldn't hire this guy to be a garbage collector, let alone to head a state agency.
With "partners" like that...
Skvarla combines the two most common GOP traits, lack of knowledge and assholishness. I can't imagine working for someone like that...actually, I have worked for men like that, and those experiences all have one thing in common: eventual failure on their part of such a level that it often landed them in court, either civil or military.

Android rooting, in layman terms, is synonymous to saying "journey to the center of the earth". It is like being a psychologist and trying to drill into the minds of people.
Talking about it in the language of a techno freak, it is simply getting into your Android Smartphone, breaking all those limitations set by the manufacturer, and getting the power to run apps which require administrator privileges, and carrying out operations which are otherwise aloof . So, android rooting is simply the key to open those closed locks. In other words, it is equivalent to diving into the roots of your OS, and making any changes that you want.
But, the million dollar question here is, whether to play with this fire or not?
Is it a forbidden fruit?
As said a coin has two sides, android rooting does have too.
The Goods:
Opened gateways:
- To be able to ingress various apps like superuser, which lets you control what apps have the key to the root system.
- One can easily tether wifi and use android as a hot spot and that too for free; thus eliminating the hassles pay your service provider.
- Remove the default games and apps which have resided in your phone using up much needed memory and processing.
- Custom ROMs are yet another cherry which give you the au courant platform features which include from boosting that processing speed to giving your phone a complete makeover.
- Give your apps their right home to live, the memory card and not the phone memory. And, the answer to it lies in rooting.
- Although rooting is powerful, but at the same time power corrupts the absolute!
The Bads:
- Once you have touched the forbidden fruit, rooting, your phone warranty at that instant becomes void. It is just like playing with fire, and burning your hands!
- A rooting gone bad is like a suicide bomber on your side. Once, the rooting goes wrong your phone becomes a dead piece, as dead as dodo.
- Another disadvantage is that it mars the phone with viruses, and kills the immunity of your phone in return.
It is at your disposal to decide whether you want to root the phone or not. It is like an unknown adventure, the road less travelled. You might get power but at the same time you face a risk of literally killing your own phone. Let us know below…
Would you root your android device?
- Yes (70%, 7 Votes)
- No (30%, 3 Votes)
Total Voters: 10

I voted for Bush and still strongly support him.
He has produced solid results on many of the issues important to me, though he has not addressed all of them, yet.
Bush's successes include historically low unemployment.
He also successfully passed Class Action law reform, the Central American Free Trade Agreement (Cafta), bankruptcy reform, energy reform, plus two great Supreme Court nominations out of three.
These domestic issues are where he has had solid success over the past year.
I'd like to see future achievements in immigration, social security reform, medical liability reform, along with more fiscal restraint over the next three years.
The Libby indictment only nominally affects the Bush administration.
But the past year has shown tremendous bravery by the Iraqi people as they have risked their lives to vote, ratify a constitution and embrace democracy.
Iraqi women and children now have a future to look forward to.
Bush's continued support of the liberation of 26 million people, to me, goes into the success column.

|Wine Year
1-3 Years
Price: $25.00Wine Club 10% Price: $22.50
Pale to medium straw in colour with green hues. Primary fruit aromas of minerals, white flowers, lime juice and mandarin combine with a touch of sherbet, talc and a nuance of Indian spices.The palate is fine and focused, with a tangy freshness and a long and expressive aftertaste with plenty of minerality. The 2015 has plenty of intensity, and will age well for the next 5-8 years.
Simon Black, Winemaker
|Wine Year
1-3 Years
The Montalto range is a selection of the best parcels of fruit from our vineyards. The wines typically come from our oldest vines and our best sites. They have more fruit intensity and complexity and for this reason receive more new oak, usually 40%. For the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir the grapevine clones are an important quality parameter. The Chardonnay clone 'P58' is our preferred clone because it yields smaller bunches and berries and greater fruit intensity. For Pinot we like 'MV6' from the warm sites for its smaller bunches and intensely dark fruit and from the cooler sites '114, 115 and D5V12' for the spice, perfume and tannin structure.

I want to keep my own last name after marriage but most of my guy and girl friends say it's better for the woman to just change it. I think it's a silly and sexist tradition and have no intention of listening to them. The main argument I hear is that if a woman doesn't change her name after marriage it means she doesn't love the man. That's stupid cause most women these days do ad the divorce rate is still ridiculously high. Does that mean men are to blame for all the broken marriages, since most women change their last names and therefore really love them?
Another stupid reason I get is that it's easier on the kids cause they won't have to explain why their parents have different last names. This p*sses me off cause I hear it from many divorced people. I suppose a divorce is easier for a kid to deal with than two loving parents with different last names?
People are just so afraid of change.
Guys, what would you say if your gf/fiancee wanted her own name?
Most Helpful Guy
It's her choice. Not mine. And it wouldn't affect my opinion one bit. Asking her to change anything about herself--including her name--to appease me is just wrong IMO. It's her choice and her choice entirely and I'd support it whole heartedly.11|00|1
