I got bullied and picked on the point where I quit. Something in me told me to come back. Anyone else have this problem?
Ever got bullied while on GaG? Did you quit for a while?
What Guys Said 10
No I have never been bullied to that extent but I have had some supid and mean answers but I think we have all had answers like that. I am sorry you got bullied, some girls do pick on other girls like this, they do this to us guys to, some guys do it to. But I honesty feel mind games like this is way more of a problem with girls. People that act in this requardless of their gender are just immture and patetic and need to grow up and quite simply are not worth your time. Do you allow anon answers on your questions?00|00|0
Girls love mind games and I'm sure you know that. I usually allow anonymous users but she wasn't anonymous.

Not all. I never looked past the nice ones. I hardly ever got guys looking at me to be honest.
I never said they all look past the nice guys but a lot do. The truth is everyone both men and women get attracted by looks to start with. Some guys will keep going out with a bitchy girl because she is hot but not me If a girl is bitchy she is automaticly less hot to me no matter how good looking her body is.
Honestly, no. Nothing similar to this has ever happened to me.00|00|0
I've never noticed anything like that. I use to bully datbuffedkid but he was a weeny.10|10|0
Nope. Yep. Busy with life.00|00|0
Maybe a little bit of bullying but I know how to ignore and not let it bother me. I didn't quit.00|00|0
No they can try but I'm positive they won't succeed.00|00|0
Did you try blocking them?00|00|0
I did on my old account hopefully nothing happens on my new one. BTW, I love your cat.
Why were you Bullied dear?00|00|0
I had a picture of my face and these girls kept saying I had thick eyebrows. I get them waxed every 2 weeks. I'm sorry they're not penciled on with eyeliner.

Thank you :) I think lot these
people come on here to fish
for trouble. i believe 40 %
what they say lol no offense
what ya think?
I think they try to be offensive and instead they hurt people. Personally, I would take a troll any day over a bully.
Don't let GaGers bully you, you have every right to be here!00|00|0
I got bullied to the point where I had to quit because too many users were making girlsaskguys unenjoyable for me. I'm back though and I know what to do and what not to do now... But people on here can be very critical and cocky in answering questions. They can bruise a lot of egos with their opinions.00|00|0
didn't you ask this already?10|10|0
- Show AllShow Less
Oh okay. I'll look at it. Thank you.
no problem, but you know you dont have to tolerant it, just block them
I have a few haters and a pretty extensive block list.10|11|0
My old account was like that.
Wouldn't really call it being bullied more like being teased or razed about an answer or grammar mistake. It didn't bother me enough to quit.00|00|0
Some tried to, but I'm feisty :P
If their comments are too dumb though, I block. End of discussion. Don't need that kind of people in my life.00|00|0
No, I've never been bullied on gag. I wouldn't really care if someone tried tho :)00|00|0
I got harassed by a guy named Anthony. Then he advanced to bullieing. He was crazy00|00|0
Here in gag no00|00|0
I am bullied here quite a bit, it comes with the territory.
If someone is harassing you or bullying you, please contact us - https://www.girlsaskguys.com/contact - and let us know what's happening.
You can also block and report them from their profile, which keeps them from being able to contact you again.
This info can always be found in our FAQ :-)
I do have someone who follows me. When ever I answer a question, I will see later a question with a similar ring to the question I answered. It is always mean and twisted. It is his sick way of making fun of me.00|00|0

Is There A Time And A Place For Tattoos?
|Date Added: February 23, 2009 10:18:59 PM

|Category: Arts
|Author: Ashley Ford
The reason I bring this question up is because I was at a funeral over the weekend, my 5th funeral I have been to in a year, but that besides the point. Anyways there was this women there that had a fairly large tattoo on her lower arm, two fairly big tattoos on either side of her neck and one pretty big on her chest by her collar bone. For some unknown reason I felt that maybe she should have covered them up. I don't really know why I felt this way because I am a tattoo lover and I don't have a problem with them. But I feel and please understand this is my opinion so don't write me hate comments. That when you are at a funeral or wedding or some other important function that your tattoo should be covered up is possible. Am I right to feel this way. I mean I know I have the right to feel any way I want, but I want to know if anyone else out there in the tattoo community feels this way too.

I have an office with around 175 users. Over the last few days people are reporting that when they log onto Outlook they get a message that Outlook is not their default mail application. After that they get no new messages even though Outlook says it's connected. I've tried manually doing a send/receive and changing Outlook to offline mode than back on. A reboot seems to fix the issue but sometimes it takes more than one reboot.
This is Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003.
Has anyone else seen this?

Have you reviewed the new software alerting in Spiceworks to see if any installs correlate with the new issue? The issue today is that even the most basic Adobe or Java updates can trigger installs of toolbars and other garbage apps.
Also, what A/V application are you using? Has anything changed in port firewall policies?
Look for trends in the users behavior, group memberships, geographies, software suite etc to determine what commonalities might exist.
May 13, 2011 at 11:32 UTC
This sounds like a recent Windows Update issue. Log onto a user's PC and go to add/remove programs (or equivelant). Select to show updates and sort by date. Try uninstalling any recent updates and see if the issue goes away.
May 13, 2011 at 11:50 UTC
To my knowledge, nothing has changed. We're using TrendMicro for A/V. 99% of our users are at a single site and they all have the same OS image/applications. This has been happening across all groups, departments, etc.
I'll take a look at that. Sounds like that could be the issue.
May 13, 2011 at 12:01 UTC
Do you use WSUS for updating? You can review the updates there and then see if a google search can correlate the issue with a KB from that date range.
May 13, 2011 at 1:28 UTC
Actually, we don't. That's one of the items on the to-do list. To add drama to the mystery, I am finding out now that some people have been having this issue since we rolled out Windows 7 (replaced old XP boxes with Win7) a few months ago. Most people are saying they just close and reopen Outlook and it fixes it.
May 13, 2011 at 2:34 UTC
Ensure Outlook is not running in compatibility mode:
Click on Start > Computer > C-Drive (C :) > Program Files or Program Files (X86) > Microsoft Office > Office11
Locate the Outlook icon, then do a right-click on it and select 'Properties'
Select the 'Compatibility' tab then uncheck the 'Run this program in Compatible mode for' option
Click on Apply and then select OK
May 13, 2011 at 2:40 UTC
Also have a look at this, just to make sure Outlook is set:

Are these 64-BIT machines by any chance? I can suggest a modification tothe registry; but before making any changes to the registry, it is recommended you backup it in case you may need to restore.
REGEDIT / [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail]
Right-click and create a new key called Outlook64Bridge
Then right-click Outlook64Bridge and create two keys under it DLLPath and DLLPathEx
Find the 32 bit version of the file MAPI32.dll and assign the whole qualified pathname to each key, on mine it looked like:
Then go back to the root key name and show the default client as Outlook64Bridge
Restart the computer after your changes.

When Hidayatullah Azizi first showed his films in public, so many people wanted to see his grainy VHS tapes that they filled the seats in Kandahar's education centre and even crowded onto the stairs at the back, fanning themselves in the stuffy heat.
Dignitaries from this southern province of Afghanistan made speeches before the film, and Mr. Azizi won applause for his lecture about how he made the two movies to illustrate the plight of Afghan refugees.
That was October, 2002, only a year after the defeat of the Taliban, which had banned every kind of film and television. Movies were still a novelty to the people in this broken city, the former headquarters for the strict regime.
But nobody has expressed the slightest interest in Mr. Azizi's latest script, about the drug trade that is rotting Afghan society.
"People don't take an interest in reality any more," said the 30-year-old director. "They don't want Afghan movies. They want Bollywood and professional wrestling."
Blackouts, roadblocks and the constant threat of violence aren't the biggest challenges for an independent filmmaker in this dangerous region, it seems, despite the soldiers still roaming the countryside on the hunt for Taliban insurgents and the homemade bombs killing people on a regular basis.
The real problem is finding anyone who appreciates social commentary, Mr. Azizi said, amid the chaos of the new Kandahar. Vendors here sell a colourful assortment of pirated movies: Hollywood blockbusters, Bollywood musicals from India and martial-arts films from Hong Kong.
The vast majority of women in the markets still wear the traditional Islamic burqa, but under the counter many stalls also hide a stash of illegal pornographic DVDs. Behind the mud walls of the city's more comfortable homes, satellite dishes and cable television have inspired a craze for the steroid-fuelled antics of U.S. wrestling shows.
Few people in Kandahar seem to think that Vince McMahon would rig a fight, and bodybuilding clubs have sprung up as quickly as English schools, as young men strive to look and sound like their heroes.
There isn't much homegrown entertainment to balance the local media diet. A few film companies have emerged in Kabul, but Mr. Azizi says he's the only film director in Kandahar, the second-biggest city in the country. He carries a laminated identity card, stamped and signed, declaring, "Occupation: Film Director." But the truth is that he's now unemployed, and unsure when he will be able to scrape together enough money for his next film.
He's unwilling to give up the profession, however. His father was a director, one of a handful of filmmakers under the regime of communist leader Mohammad Najibullah, making films about the atrocities of the mujahedeen that have been described as either propaganda or documentaries.
Like many Afghans, they fled for Pakistan when the Taliban took over in 1996. His father took a risk by trying to save his life's work, smuggling out a cloth bag full of video cassettes despite the fact that they could have been killed if the Taliban had noticed the forbidden materials.
"My hands were shaking, because I was very afraid," Mr. Azizi said.
He spent six years saving up for his first two films, working 18-hour days as a clerk for pharmacies, plumbing stores, and carpet dealers. At night he worked on his scripts, writing about his neighbours in the slums of Quetta, Pakistan.
"I would write until 2 a.m., and cry the whole time," Mr. Azizi said. "These are sad stories, about poor children. They rummage in the garbage without any shoes, taking the scraps other people throw away. So I wept when I wrote those words."
Finally he rented a clunky Panasonic M3000 and turned the words into pictures. He did most of the work himself, with a cast of friends.
The results were amateurish but touching. Return to Homeland features Afghan orphans living in Pakistan, and shows some unnecessarily long scenes of death and mourning during its 150 minutes. His other film, Poverty, runs 80 minutes and tells a more engaging story about a boy who tries to win a school competition so his sister can have a pair of shoes.
Neither film has been released, but Mr. Azizi is patient. Afghanistan may not be ready for that kind of social realism at the moment, he said, but some day the mood will change.
"We had 25 years of war in this country. The people are very tired. They want comedy, fighting, love stories. But I don't care. My next film, if I get a chance, will be about drug smokers."Report Typo/Error

Download Sysmon(641 KB)
System Monitor (Sysmon) is a Windows system service and device driver that, once installed on a system, remains resident across system reboots to monitor and log system activity to the Windows event log. It provides detailed information about process creations, network connections, and changes to file creation time. By collecting the events it generates using
Windows Event Collection or
SIEM agents and subsequently analyzing them, you can identify malicious or anomalous activity and understand how intruders and malware operate on your network.
Note that Sysmon does not provide analysis of the events it generates, nor does it attempt to protect or hide itself from attackers.
Sysmon includes the following capabilities:
Uses Sysmon simple command-line options to install and uninstall it, as well as to check and modify Sysmon's configuration:
Install: Sysmon.exe -i <configfile>[-h <[sha1|md5|sha256|imphash|*],...>] [-n [<process,...>]][-l (<process,...>)]
Configure: Sysmon.exe -c <configfile> [--|[-h <[sha1|md5|sha256|imphash|*],...>] [-n [<process,...>]] [-l [<process,...>]]]
Uninstall: Sysmon.exe -u
The service logs events immediately and the driver installs as a boot-start driver to capture activity from early in the boot that the service will write to the event log when it starts.
On Vista and higher, events are stored in "Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Sysmon/Operational"On older systems, events are written to the System event log.
If you need more information on configuration files, use the '-? config' command. More examples are available on the Sysinternals website.
Specify -accepteula to automatically accept the EULA on installation, otherwise you will be interactively prompted to accept it.
Neither install nor uninstall requires a reboot.
Install with default settings (process images hashed with sha1 and no network monitoring)sysmon -accepteula –i
Install with md5 and sha256 hashing of process created and monitoring network connectionssysmon -accepteula –i –h md5,sha256 –n
Install Sysmon with a configuration file (as described below)
sysmon –accepteula –i c:\windows\config.xml
Uninstallsysmon –u
Dump the current configurationsysmon –c
Change the configuration to use all hashes, no network monitoring and monitoring of DLLs in Lsasssysmon –c –h * –l lsass.exe
Change the configuration of sysmon with a configuration file (as described below)
sysmon –c c:\windows\config.xml
Change the configuration to default settingssysmon –c --
On Vista and higher, events are stored in "Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Sysmon/Operational", and on older systems events are written to the System event log. Event timestamps are in UTC standard time.
The following are examples of each event type that Sysmon generates.
The process creation event provides extended information about a newly created process. The full command line provides context on the process execution. The ProcessGUID field is a unique value for this process across a domain to make event correlation easier. The hash is a full hash of the file with the algorithms in the HashType field.
The change file creation time event is registered when a file creation time is explicitly modified by a process. This event helps tracking the real creation time of a file. Attackers may change the file creation time of a backdoor to make it look like it was installed with the operating system. Note that many processes legitimately change the creation time of a file; it does not necessarily indicate malicious activity.
The network connection event logs TCP/UDP connections on the machine. It is disabled by default. Each connection is linked to a process through the ProcessId and ProcessGUID fields. The event also contains the source and destination host names IP addresses, port numbers and IPv6 status.
The service state change event reports the state of the Sysmon service (started or stopped).
The process terminate event reports when a process terminates. It provides the UtcTime, ProcessGuid and ProcessId of the process.
The driver loaded events provides information about a driver being loaded on the system. The configured hashes are provided as well as signature information. The signature is created asynchronously for performance reasons and indicates if the file was removed after loading.
The image loaded event logs when a module is loaded in a specific process. This event is disabled by default and needs to be configured with the –l option. It indicates the process in which the module is loaded, hashes and signature information. The signature is created asynchronously for performance reasons and indicates if the file was removed after loading. This event should be configured carefully, as monitoring all image load events will generate a large number of events.
The CreateRemoteThread event detects when a process creates a thread in another process. This technique is used by malware to inject code and hide in other processes. The event indicates the source and target process. It gives information on the code that will be run in the new thread: StartAddress, StartModule and StartFunction. Note that StartModule and StartFunction fields are inferred, they might be empty if the starting address is outside loaded modules or known exported functions.
The RawAccessRead event is generated when a process opens a disk or volume for raw read access.
This event is generated when an error occurred within Sysmon. They can happen if the system is under heavy load and certain tasked could not be performed or a bug exists in the Sysmon service. You can report any bugs on the Sysinternals forum or over twitter (
@markrussinovich or
Configuration files can be specified after the -i (installation) or -c (installation) configuration switches. They make it easier to deploy a preset configuration and to filter captured events.
A simple configuration xml file looks like this:
The configuration file contains a schemaversion attribute on the Sysmon tag. This version is independent from the Sysmon binary version and allows the parsing of older configuration files. You can get the current schema version by using the "-? config" command line.
Configuration entries are directly under the Sysmon tag and filters are under the EventFiltering tag. The schema was simplified on version 2.0 so it is not necessary to enable a particular event and define its filtering. An event is enabled or disabled automatically based on its filter.
Configuration entries are similar to command line switches. Command line switches have their configuration entry described in the Sysmon usage output. Parameters are optional based on the tag. If a command line switch also enables an event, it needs to be configured though its filter tag.
Event filtering allows you to filter generated events. In many cases events can be noisy and gathering everything is not possible. For example, you might be interested in network connections only for a certain process, but not all of them. You can filter the output on the host reducing the data to collect.
Each event has its own filter tag under EventFiltering:
You can also find these tags in the event viewer on the task name.
The onmatch filter is applied if events are matched. It can be changed with the "onmatch" attribute for the filter tag. If the value is 'include', it means only matched events are included. If it is set to 'exclude', the event will be included except if a rule match.
Each tag under the filter tag is a fieldname from the event. Each field entry is tested against generated events, if one matches, the rule is applied and the rest is ignored.
For example, this rule will discard any process event where the IntegrityLevel is medium:
<ProcessCreate onmatch="exclude ">
Field entries can use other conditions to match the value. The conditions are as follow (all are case insensitive):
You can use a different condition by specifying it as an attribute. For our previous example:
<ProcessCreate onmatch="exclude">
<IntegrityLevel condition="contains">medium</IntegrityLevel >

Testimonials SIER 2016
Participants share their thoughts about SIER
Chinasa Ikelu, Pre-doctoral student at ASE
It was an invigorating experience for me because I participated as part of the team co-ordinating the curation of tweets on social media. I particularly found the teaching on Impact Evaluation and the conference presentations very interesting, they were all enlightening. I believie the Africa School of Economics (ASE) and the Summer Institute for Economic Research (SIER) has the potential to become one of the best institutions and conferences respectively in Africa if the current momentum is maintained.
Kizito Omala, University of Makerere; University of California at Berkeley
I must say that the SIER was a fruitful academic venture. The presentations were extremely impressive, and even more the work of the graduate students were at a global standard. I am certain that if the young who presented keep aiming that high and couple it with high integrity, Africa's future is promising. I desire to associate with this network! Oh, not to forget the fabulous graduation ceremony!
Prof. Luis A. Gil-Alana, University of Navarra
Well, I would say that it has been a great experience for me! Amused by the interest of some of the students in doing research projects in time series. I hope I will be able to collaborate with some of them! I did a short (2 hours) course in time series and a presentation on fractional integration techniques. I enjoyed some of the presentations I attempted on Wednesday morning. Both the ASE and the SIER are great experiences! Hope to continue in the future.
Marina Sénami Monkoun, MBA student at ASE (Class of 2016)
During this SIER 2016, I presented my Thesis on "The Impact of Mobile Money Transfers through Financial Inclusion in Economic Growth in West African Countries". This experience was wonderful; I improved my knowledge in the financial sector and in econometrics models. This Summer School allowed me to share my key findings and to express myself in English in front of prominent researchers from IERPE, ASE, USA as well as PhD students of GIMPA/Ghana and my classmates. I really appreciated the presentation of our guest speaker Mr. Leandre Adifon during our graduation, it was very encouraging.
William Asante
I thoroughly enjoyed the Impact Evaluation/Research Design session. Through the session, I learnt how to estimate the real impact of projects or programs on some target groups. I intend to put this newly acquired knowledge to good use. I also observed various presentation styles from almost all presenters at the Conference. I must say that both the ASE and SIER are encouraging indeed.
Gaétan Nandong, pre-doctoral student at ASE
I was honored to be invited for a presentation at SIER 2016, my second invitation since its inception in 2015. During SIER, I presented my paper on "Public Service Management and Maternal and Infant Health", the thesis for the completion of my Master's Degree at ASE. Comments I received from participants were very insightful and will help me improve my paper.
I believe that the Summer Institute for Economic Research (SIER) definitely needs to be organized each year as it allows African scholars to be exposed to cutting-edge research techniques and also because it creates an environment where African researchers from different disciplines debate issues the continent is currently facing.
ASE Celebrates Class of 2016 Graduates and Closing of SIER
December 21, 2016. Beginning on Monday, December 12th, the Summer Institute for Economic Research (SIER 2016) ended Saturday, December 17th, with the Policy Forum and the graduation ceremony of the first cohort of masters students of the African School of Economics, at the "Palais des Congrès" in Cotonou.
From Monday to Tuesday, around 100 were trained on research design, by instructors from Yale (USA), Makerere (Uganda), Navarra (Spain) and Paris 10 (France). Wednesday to Friday, featured conference presentations and put many ASE students on stage. The presenters shared impressive economic research related to issues such as conflict, climate change, and sub-regional cooperation (https://youtu.be/Iz0jICdf8uw).
During this time, the mayor of Abomey-Calavi, the town where ASE is located, Georges Bada, paid a visit to the school, very impressed by what he saw and encouraged all participants to keep up the academic excellence.
The forum on Saturday started with a debate on advanced scientific research in Africa, with Professor Kizito Omala of the universities of Makerere (Uganda) and University of California at Berkeley (United States) as chairperson, and as speakers, Professor Léonard Wantchekon, founder of ASE and professor at Princeton University (United States) and Wilfried Gangbo, a Mathematics professor at UCLA (United States).
In the second part, the audience listened to Léandre Adifon, vice president of Enterprise Systems Engineering and Advanced Technology (USA). His address was titled "The Technological Challenges and Opportunities of Developing Countries by 2030". Aristide Adjinakou, a counsellor of the President of Benin, attended the address as well.
The first Masters of ASE!
In the afternoon, a colorful ceremony was held in the same room as the morning address, and celebrated the graduation of the first cohort of students at the African School of Economics (https://youtu.be/2NPl47fnG38) : 14 Masters in Business Administration (MBA) and 48 Masters in Mathematics, Economics and Statistics (MMES). 56 students were present to receive the diplomas, with others absent as a result of having secured internships and jobs in several countries. Some will continue onto the PhD program next year. Speeches from Dean Father Claude Domfang, the patron of the commencement Léandre Adifon, Professor Leonard Wantchekon, and former Dean David Gbaguidi, encouraged the graduates to continue with working hard, maintain their intellectual curiosity and integrity, and remain connected to ASE. The former Student Delegate, Apollinaire Appalo, reiterated students' commitment to be worthy ambassadors of the ASE as they continue into the workforce or continue with their education.
During the ceremony, staff, students and their guests enjoyed performances of traditional poetry, song, dance, and acrobatics by group "3 L Ifèdé". The master of ceremonies, Ozias Sounouvou, kept the ceremony moving with humor and grace.
The day ended with a reception, filled with lively and excited exchanges, finishing the academically rigorous and immensely enjoyable week on a high.

Former World Bank Chief Economist, Dr. Justin Yifu Lin visits ASE
December 12, 2016. The ASE community had the great honor of hosting Dr. Justin Yifu Lin last week (December 8). Dr. Lin has served several renowned institutions throughout his career, including former World Bank Chief Economist as well as Professor and Founding Director of the China Center for Economic Research (CCER) at Peking University.
Dr. Lin is a longtime friend of Professor Leonard Wantchekon (founder of ASE) and it is evident that they share the same passion and desire to train the next generation of social scientists, particularly in Economics. In his discussion he talked about his education and how it helped him make a significant contribution to China's growth over the past decade. He also elaborated on what Africa can do to attain this kind of development, as is outlined in his book titled New Structural Economics: A Framework for Rethinking Development and Policy. Dr. Lin explained that in 1987 he was the first Chinese national to obtain a PhD in the US and that when he returned he established the China Center for Economic and Research. The center has grown a lot since then, and provides training in Politics, Economics and Philosophy. One of the thoughts that govern his work, which he also emphasized during his lecture, is that "the right ideas lead to development whilst bad ideas destroy".
By comparing China's GDP in 1960 versus Benin's GDP compared to their GDPs today, Dr. Lin demonstrated the importance of implementing "good ideas" in economic policy in order to attain higher productivity. The event ended with a TV interview with the national television station and a group picture in ASE's courtyard.

text: ArchiveMusharraf signs book deal Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has sold the rights to his political memoirs, which will feature his views on the US war on terror and the Bush administration. 04 Feb 2005 00:17 GMT The president's book should be out by late 2006 Coming to an arrangement with Simon & Schuster Imprint Free Press on Thursday, the company said Musharraf had showed his proposal to several New York publishers before settling for the unit of Viacom Inc. The military officer who seized power in October 1999 has been a key Bush administration ally as the US pursued wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The book is to be published in late 2006, according to Free Press vice-president and senior editor Bruce Nichols. "He's going to cover the 'war on terror' from Afghanistan in the 1970s and 1980s up to the hunt for Usama bin Ladin," Nichols said. "He's certainly also going to discuss his relationship with the Bush administration," he added. Musharraf is seen as having taken a political risk by supporting US President George Bush, and some in Washington are concerned about his ability to hold on to power. But in return for his support and his efforts to curtail the black market for nuclear weapons parts, Washington has taken a lenient view of his reneging on promises to move Pakistan closer to democracy.

During his lifetime, J. Edgar Hoover would rise to be the most powerful man in America. As head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for nearly 50 years, he would stop at nothing to protect his country. Through eight presidents and three wars, Hoover waged battle against threats both real and perceived, often bending the rules to keep his countrymen safe. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted, if ever elusive, prize. Hoover was a man who placed great value on secrets-particularly those of others-and was not afraid to use that information to exert authority over the leading figures in the nation. Understanding that knowledge is power and fear poses opportunity, he used both to gain unprecedented influence and to build a reputation that was both formidable and untouchable.

Dear all, Is acceleration due to gravity already accounted for in the vertical integral of northward/eastward water vapour flux? I didn't find mention of anything of the sort in the documentation, but didn't want to repeat the action in my analysis if it has already been done. Thank you in advance.

ERA-Interim: Questions
Submitted by Johanna Yepes (not verified) on Fri, 05/13/2016 - 09:33.
Dear Era-Interim staff, I would like to ask about the units of the runoff data. I downloaded the monthly means of runoff and I can see that the units are meters but I don't know the time units for that, those are meters per day or meters per month? Thank you.
How is the CAPE calculated
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am wondering how the CAPE in ERA-Interim data be calculated? Because I want to compared the results with other reanalysis data but most of them need us to calculate CAPE individually. Some important information such as: what level should be treated us the beginning point (1000mb? 1017mb? or the surface pressure?) Thank you for your replying.
Reply to How is the CAPE calculated
Dear Lu Sun,
There is a description of the definition of CAPE in the ERA-Interim model documentation, Part IV: Physical processes:
In particular, look at equation 5.61 in Section 5.11 Diagnostics for post processing: CAPE, which is in Chapter 5 Convection.
The calculation is done from model (hybrid sigma/pressure) level data.
obtaining ERA-interim question: last date
How can I automatically find the last date of the ERA-inerim? If I request a date past the last date, the ecmwf perl module fails with many errors. I can look at the webpage but then I can't update automatically.
Dear Cathy,…
Dear Cathy,
There is no automatic way of checking the latest available date. In order to find this date, you need to look at the ERA-Interim data webpage:

Sitting in the coffee shop as the sound of Christmas music played Max looked into his mug of java, inhaled the fragrancy and sighed. Facing the holiday season alone, again, was going to kill him. He hated being single. It wasn't because he was an asshole or ugly, he had plenty of women express interest. He had gone out on dates and tried to enjoy himself, but he couldn't get into it. Even when the dates ended up in bed he wasn't interested. He knew why. He had known why for years. Women were attractive to look at, but it was men who raised his heartbeat.
Frustrated with himself he played that mental mind fuck game, if he tried not to think or act upon it maybe the interest in guys would go away. After years of trying he wasn't sure it would.
The mug of java became fuzzy, his vision blurred as he realized he was about to shed a tear. "Hell NO! I am not going to let this happen!" He screamed to himself in his head. Standing up he left the cafe and made a beeline for his apartment.
An hour later he had reservations to Las Vegas, six days, five night starting Dec 23rd.
One state over, close to the same time Ryan sat at his computer reading the email from his mother outlining the itinerary for his Christmas visit. Family, old neighbors, meals, outings and of course, the eligible women who would be in town, it was overwhelming. He felt too old at 26 to be treated like he was a freshman in college. Closing email he opened up tumblr and surfed the images of handsome naked men, posing alone, having sex with other hot men, his cock responded. Absentmindedly he reached down and gently squeezed him cock.
Two years ago he acknowledged he liked guys. He had even tried to meet up a few times with guys he found on an internet gay dating site. His efforts to meet nice guys never worked, it was all about sex. Excited to meet a guy he would show up, freshly showered and dressed nicely, but not too nicely, expecting to go out. Every time he ended up naked. The sex hadn't been bad, in fact he had enjoyed it. He had told two close friends about being gay but had not revealed a thing to most people or his family. The email from his mother was like acid. She wasn't cruel in any way, but being set up with women when he was interested in men was almost painful.
Opening a new window he surfed for a cheap getaway, soon he had booked a short trip to Vegas, over the holiday. His mother wouldn't be pleased but he would escape the charade for another year.
Stepping off the plane Max smiled. The heat and lack of moisture in the air greeted him like a dear friend. He was going to enjoy himself for Christmas for the first time in years. Stepping onto the shuttle to the hotel he kept smiling as he looked at the other hotel guests. Middle aged, married and frumpy he suddenly wondered if he was the only single guy his age in town.
The plane Ryan was on landed, he grabbed his carry on, his only luggage and made his way to the shuttle buses. As he approached he saw the bus for his hotel pull away. Damn. At least it was warm out, he could wait half an hour.
As Max settled into his room, which amounted to emptying the contents of his carry on, he wondered if he should hit the indoor or outdoor pool. Stripping down he looked into the mirror. He looked good, needed some color but otherwise his five o-clock shadow fit his square jaw, his pecs were firm but not huge (he was working on that, sort of) and his abs, he slid his hand over his abs, were perfect. His hand went to his cock, he grabbed it, squeezed and smiled, "You are a great looking piece of meat and someday a lucky guy will get his hands on you." Pulling on his swim suit he left for the pool.
The other guests were indeed the same type of people he saw on the shuttle. Middle aged couples who were revealing far too much pale flab. Yuck. He laid back in the lounge chair and closed his eyes then realized there was no sun to bask in. All he could 'enjoy' was the smell of the chemicals in the pool water and the shrieks of unattended children. This was not relaxing.
Ryan caught the next shuttle, went directly to his room and changed into his swimsuit. Having been on the dive team in college he had the body of a swimming. Lean, taunt, ripped, he could justify the rather skimpy diving briefs he wore. Plus, he knew his ass looked great in them. The pool was not too busy, married couples and loud children. He went to the diving board and stretched for a moment before climbing up. Standing at the end of the board he looked down at the water making sure it was clear. Then he stopped, a very nice looking guy was getting out of a chair. Mid twenties, dark hair, great body and alone. Shaking his head he refocused and did a simple dive into the water. When he came to the surface the hot guy was gone. Damn.
He pulled himself out of the pool, dried his face with his towel and looked around hoping to catch a glimpse of the hunk who caught his attention. What did catch his attention was the noise of rambunctious kids. Forget this, he left for the outdoor pool.
Sure it was the desert, but in December it wasn't that hot. The pool was empty, a few people sitting around it. Ryan was feeling let down when he realized that laying in the sun next to a pool wasn't going to be the ideal he had hoped for. Turning to leave he spotted the dark haired hunk. His spirits lifted. He walked toward the other set of doors, which happened to be on the other side of the dark haired hunk. At least he could check him out close up. Walking slowly wondering if he should unwrap his towel from his waist he decided to leave it, not wanting to embarrass himself, this guy could be straight.
As he got closer he saw the guys swim suit. Yep, straight. A gay guy his age would not be wearing that big box swimsuit from the nineties. Damn. At least his looked better and better the closer he came, a little eye candy. And he was busted. The dark-haired hunk looked up at him as Ryan was checking him out. Damn. He tried to look away but caught the guy look at him and he could swear the guy smiled. He nodded, 'Not as hot out as I had hoped." He said to the hunk, keeping his comment as meaningless as
possible as he kept on walking. Inside he took at seat at the pool bar and ordered a cocktail. He was so tempted to get something fun, something with fruit, but he didn't feel it was appropriate. Instead he settle on a simple Bacardi Coke.
A few minutes later he felt someone take a seat next to him. "You're right, it isn't warm enough to bask in the sun. You mind?" The dark-haired hunk nodded at the empty seat next to Ryan.
"Not at all. Ryan from Michigan."
"Max, Pennsylvania. What are you having?"
"Bacardi Coke."
"No umbrella?" The dark haired hunk named Max laughed. Ryan smiled, chuckled and replied, "Nope, not yet."
The sat and chatted a bit. Ryan was thrilled this good looking man his age was sitting next to him. He tried not to check him out, but it was impossible not to eye the bicep as Max's are rested on the bar. Or the developed forearm, was that from jerking off? Or the shoulder that was strong and met up perfectly with his neck. Damn he was hot.
Max was attempting to do the same, checking out this lean ripped stud to his right. Not big but there was hardly an ounce of fat on this guy. His arm had a nice layer of hair running from his wrist to just before his elbow.
During the conversation, and additional cocktails, they learned they were each single, alone. "Avoiding the holiday's with the family?" Max asked.
"More like escaping my mother setting me up with every eligible female in town." Ryan replied before he realized his gaff.
"Her idea of potential ladies not like yours?" Max responded. Maybe he didn't catch the subtle reveal.
"More like potential gender." Ryan decided, without thinking, to get past the inevitable. "Oh."
Ryan looked at Max who was looking into his drink. "Guess my drink is done. Thanks for the chat." He started to rise.
"Um...wait. I was going to have one more. You don't want to leave me drinking alone do you?"
Perked up Ryan settled back down. "I guess that would be rude."
Max ordered two more cocktails. Silently they sat as the bartender, a quite woman who had a faint smile, mixed the drinks.
"I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." Ryan had to break this deafening silence. "Uncomfortable? How?"
"Sitting next to the only good looking guy at the bar, in the entire pool area and telling him I'm gay. Uncomfortable." Ryan fessed up.
Max wasn't sure if he was blushing, then realized that his scruffy growth would hide it he replied, "I sat next to you, remember."
Both men were a little unsure what to say or do. They were each feeling some sexual tension build unaware the other was feeling it too. Small talk ensued as they tried not to look at the other guys nicely muscled back, or see if his chest matched. At least sitting next to each other they could look straight ahead.
Then the conversation turned, quickly. Ryan's stomach grumbled loud enough to be heard by anyone within ten feet.
"Wow! That was impressive!" Max exclaimed as he laughed.
"Guess I need to get some food." Ryan blushed. He was attracted to this straight dark haired hunk and now his stomach was talking.
"Want company? Not much fun eating alone."
Max's comment was music to Ryan's ears. "Sure. Half hour at the Sage? It's near the registration desk."
"Sounds good." They finished their drinks and rose from their chairs.
Ryan wanted to check out Max's ass and was excited to walk behind the hunk. Turned out differently. Max was a gentleman and allowed Ryan to pass by first. Ryan silently swore to himself at the missed opportunity as Max checked out Ryan's towel wrapped ass.
Back in his room MAx stripped down, started the shower, stepped in and jerked off think about the lean ripped swimmer had had spent the last couple of hours chatted with. His firm tight body, his tight ass and how they would be having dinner together. He easily shot a nice load, finished his shower and went to get dressed. Wore jeans, a flannel, sweatshirt and a couple of tees. Not much of a wardrobe.
As he approached the restaurant Max noticed Ryan standing at the hostess stand. Jeans and a sweater. He felt like a slob. The hostess looked up as Ryan said he was waiting for someone. Ryan looked and saw Max. Immediately he thought, straight.
They ordered dinner, chatted about life, school, entry level jobs that were unfulfilling, being single. Max didn't give any clues to being anything but straight. Ryan was disappointed but was content with conversation with a handsome man over dinner and not sitting in his room eating some crummy frozen pizza from room service.
The one thing that was different was they were sitting across form each other. This gave both of them the chance to look at the smile, teeth, chin, cheekbones and eyes of the man they were interested in. After they finished eating the server asked if they wanted anything else. Max quickly replied, "My friend would like a drink with an umbrella. Surprise him."
Ryan blushed. Thankfully the lighting was on the romantically dimmed side. "Yes. I would."
The server left and when she returned she placed two large glasses, each with fruit and an umbrella. "Enjoy guys." She smiled in a flirty manner at Max and left.
"She likes you." Ryan said.
"Max took a sip of his drink. "I like this drink. Wow!"
An hour later and another umbrella drink they were laughing like old friends. Ryan was bummed his hunk was unavailable but happy to have company. Max on the other hand was bummed he couldn't tell the hunk across the table from him that he wanted to kiss him.
Past a little drunk the two finished the drink, paid the bill and left for their rooms. As they rode the elevator arrangements had been made to do a little site seeing in the morning. Ryan exited on the tenth floor. The doors closed and MAx rode up one flight. The doors opened. He pushed the button for the tenth floor and rode down. His heart racing. The doors opened. He stepped out and looked to his left, nothing. Looking to his right he saw Ryan enter the last door on the left a the end of the hallway.
His heart was pounding as he quickly walked. He wasn't thinking, wasn't sure what he was doing, but he was going to do it. Standing outside the door he raised his hand to knock, he could hear his heart beat. Three raps on the door and he waited. Ryan opened it a moment later. "Max."
Max stepped in as Ryan stepped back. "Ryan. I'm gay. Never told anyone before." He stood there not sure if he would cry or flee.
Ryan looked at him. "That was not what I was expecting. You don't dress or act..."
"I know,' Max interrupted, "years of practice."
They stood looking at each other. Both unsure what to say or do they stood until Max stepped forward and gave Ryan a quick kiss. With the speed of a diver Ryan reached up placing his arms on Max's shoulders, drew him back in and kissed him back, deep and long. Max not only accept the embrace and the kiss, he held on and they continued to kiss, passionately.
It didn't take long before clothes were being pulled off and Max went a little out of control as he explored Ryan's firm body with his hands and mouth. Ryan was hard as hell and wanted to feel his cock in Max's mouth. Max wanted to have every inch of Ryan. As he kissed his way across and down Ryan's body he reached for the obscenely stretched briefs Ryan was wearing. As soon as his hand wrapped around the hard cock Max settled to his knees and pulled it out. A cock in his hand. Not just a cock, but a hard cock with a thick base and a large head.
He leaned in. Ryan looked down as this gorgeous man was about to put his cock into his mouth. Max opened his lips, stuck out his tongue and liked the underside of the head. Ryan yelped it felt so electric. Max didn't move, except his mouth. Slowly he took the beautiful cock in and began to suck and enjoy the feeling and sensations of flesh that can only come from cock.
What he lacked in skill he made up for in enthusiasm. Ryan was not remotely unpleased, having a man this handsome, this eager to suck your cock and a man who had never done so before, this was a fucking gift!
Not wanting to blow his load yet he pulled back. Max looked up at him with questioning eyes. "My turn." Ryan smiled, gently raised Max from his knees and guided him to the bed. "Sit back stud."
Max leaned back and Ryan took his place between the firm legs.
The sounds Max made as Ryan sucked his cock, balls and inner thighs were clearly of a man who was enjoying himself. When the signs started that a load would soon be released Ryan pulled back and crawled up onto the bed, kissing Max's body as he moved his body on top of him until they could kiss.
Moving to Max's earlobes he heard another moan. "Please tell me you want to fuck me." Max said in a whisper.
"Oh do I ever." Ryan smiled as he raised himself up. Grabbing Max's legs he lifted them high and went in to rim that virgin hole. The cheeks that protected it were firm, warm and smooth. Rimming had not been one of Ryan's favorite things to do until he saw that ass. As he explored it with his tongue he found a new favorite activity.
Before he being to finger him Ryan stood and went to his backpack. When he left for the trip he had hoped for sex and brought along a package of condoms. A three pack, he was hopeful but realistic.
Turning he looked at the stunning man on his bed. The stunning naked man who was a virgin and asking for his first lay. The stunning man he had checked out hours earlier at the pool only to think he was straight due to his clothing. The stunning man whose ass was about to be wrapped around his aching cock. Max was looking at him, eyeing his strong lean body, smiling.
"Are you sure about this Max?"
"Sure times ten." He said as he smiled.
Getting into place Ryan rimmed a few minutes and then began slowing fingering the tight bud, warming it to intrusion. One finger, moans from Max. Two fingers, louder moans. Three fingers, groans. Ryan was ready and decided Max was ready, even if he wasn't. Ripping open the condom package and rolling it on he kneeled, shaking a little, he hadn't fucked many times and was a little nervous. He steadied himself, aimed his cock at the loosened hole and positioned the head on it. Max moaned the moment the two made contact.
Straightening up Ryan began to lean in. He pressed a little harder. Max flinched. He pressed some more, Max continued to flinch. Then the hole relaxed and the head of his cock entered that amazing warm world. At the same time Max gave a little yelp and his body tightened. The feeling of this tightening squeezed Ryan's cock. He leaned in and pushed. His cock sank into Max's hole almost to the pubes. Max let out a rather loud yelp in a higher pitch than the first yelp.
"Breathe Max. Relax."
MAx raised his legs and wrapped them around Ryan's waist, instinct. His toes curled. It hurt but felt so right. Ryan pulled out a little and slowing slid back in. "I'm being fucked!" Max said in a raspy delighted voice.
Ryan wanted to ram his cock in to the hilt, he wanted to pound away at the amazing tight willing ass he was inside of but resisted. Carefully he took his time and went slowly until Max was relaxed and grinding with him. "Now Max, you are truly fucking." Ryan whispered into his ear as he laid on Max's heaving body.
The two fucked until Ryan came. Max was a little disappointed not to see Ryan shoot. But kept quiet. They kissed and caressed. "Max, your turn."
After the shower they ordered room service, umbrella drinks. Sitting on the bed, naked and next to each other they talked about things. Max revealed he jerked off before dinner. Ryan admitted he had too. They both wanted to fuck again but had only one condom left. They decided that whoever finished their drink first could have the condom and decide who would wear it. Laughing they kissed and explored and took sips from their large drinks. Ryan finished his and stood up. Bouncing on the bed he reached for the condom. Max, you are going to fuck me again tonight!
And he did.

LeAnn Rimes. She is on vacation with husband Eddie Cibrian in Maui, but it looks like they have another guest with them today.A new day, a new bikini for
Rimes was spotted holding a baby near in her pool gear, and to say she was all smiles is an understatement!
Could she be ready to be a mom?
Clearly by her very toned physic (which she attributes to drinking margaritas and working out) LeAnn doesn't have a bun in the oven right now, but we could see her popping one out in the future!

"not what it used to be!"
About: Norwich Community Hospital Norwich Community Hospital Norwich NR2 3TU
Posted by Anonymous
I have had both of my feet operated on at the Norfolk foot surgery centre. The first time (2011) was excellent - I could not have asked for better service. The second time (2014) was completely different. I was told I had to have the surgery up at the Norfolk and Norwich when I previously had my surgery in the West Norwich in the same building as my clinic appointments. Surely it is a waste of NHS facilities and time to do this? I had to wait over twice as long for my second operation. Also, the attitude of the two surgeons could not have been more different - the podiatry surgeon I saw for my first foot was lovely and did a great job, whereas the orthopedic surgeon who did my recent surgery was very dismissive and I'm still having problems. The atmosphere of the whole place has changed too - I wonder whether it is because of bad management or the other doctors and nurses using the same building to run an abortion clinic? I have already written to PALS about this.
Response from Norwich Community Hospital 2 years ago
Thank you for your feedback about foot surgery. We were very pleased to hear that you had a positive experience in 2011 but disappointed to hear of your most recent experience this year. You comment was passed on to the Manager for this service and has explained that since January 2014 Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust (NCH&C) have not had a podiatric surgeon . This is due to a vacancy and 1 member of staff not returning to work following maternity leave. Because of our situation we have been working in partnership with the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) . The current arrangement is that NCH&C undertake most elements of the pathway with the exception of the surgical element . Patients requiring a surgical intervention are seen in the theatres at NNUH. The development of this pathway has taken much longer than anticipated which has led to patients waiting longer than we would like . This situation will improve over the coming months with regular theatre session scheduled . We aim to see a return to 18 week compliance envisaged by December 2014 . The Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG's) are aware of this situation. I hope this is helpful to you and if you feel you would like the opportunity to discuss further please contact NCH&C Patient Advice and Liaison Service on 0800 088 4449 or by email firstname.lastname@example.com Kind regards Christine Little Patient Experience Lead

Girls, honestly, would you be able to go a full month without makeup? That means continuing your everyday life without any means of makeup. No foundation, bb cream, powders, lip applicators, mascara and etc.
&guys, do you find women more attractive with or without makeup?
- Girl: I could go a monthVote A
- Girl: I couldn't go a month honestlyVote B
- Guy: women are more beautiful naturalVote C
- Guy: I like a woman with makeupVote D
Most Helpful Guy
Without makeup. I understand that it does give you girls a little confidence booster and that's fine, I have no problem with that. It does, however, tend to get a little annoying to down right unattractive when I see a 'cake face'. That's not something I like and I'm sure there are a few others, if not most who agree with me. Natural beauty is the best beauty and to that One, the only beauty that matters, that should matter. At the end of the day you want someone who loves you for you, with all your perfect imperfections because that's what they are to that One, perfect. Remember that!21|10|0
Thanks for the MHO :)
