To date, FundedByMe has helped more than 420 companies raise more than €15 million from more than 60,000 registered crowd investors. While we act as a 'dating site' where investors and entrepreneurs can meet one another and 'fall in love' – things do sometimes go wrong.
Fat Cat Campaign
With the Fat Cat campaign (open on the FundedByMe platform between November 2014 and closed in January 2015), despite our best efforts, it unfortunately did.
From the FundedByMe end, we followed our usual strict diligence strategy for fact and identity checking the creators of the campaign before allowing the Fat Cat campaign to go live on the platform. At first it seemed like a campaign made for success – bloggers were driving traffic to their page and the entrepreneur seemed engaged and active.
Soon, however, we realized that all was not as it seemed. While we kept our side of the agreement, once the campaign was successfully closed our initial invoices were queried and then went unpaid and our emails remain unanswered.
Unhappy Bloggers
But more than our outstanding invoices, the bigger concern is that Fat Cat offered shares and other rewards to bloggers who helped them drive traffic to their campaign on our platform. They have not honoured these promises, despite receiving an immense outflow of support from their digital community. We take these allegations very seriously and have, to date, not received any feedback from the Fat Cat founders, despite numerous attempts to get the full truth.
Hereby, FundedByMe wishes to publicly apologise to any bloggers who were negatively affected by the activities of Fat Cat in relation to their campaign on our platform. We wish to distance ourselves from Fat Cat and its owners and will continue to do so until these allegations have been cleared up. As we are not allowed to handle any transactions nor issue shares on the FundedByMe platform, our ability to affect this situation is limited.
What we do have is a very active social network and we can ask for their help to publicly urge the Fat Cat owners to honour their promises made to industry leaders who used their social media powers to drive traffic to the Fat Cat campaign.
And, while you're at it, please pay your outstanding invoice from FundedByMe too.

text: I am in the process of trying to uprate my S3 Anti-Roll Bars to those from the Golf R32, and have become very confused /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif. I have priced Parts from my local VW Dealer, Awesome GTi, and Vag Parts. I have quoted part No's and I have a huge variation in price. The Part Nos I believe are as follows: R32 Front 23mm ARB - 1J0 411 305 AF R32 Rear 19mm ARB - 1J0 511 409 K 23mm Powerflex Poly Bushes - PFF85-411-23 19mm Neuspeed Bushes with Grease Retaining Design Firstly can anyone confirm I am looking for the correct parts? Secondly I have listed the prices I have been quoted and I believe there must be some mistake somewhere as there is a huge variation. Vag Parts - 23mm ARB - £40.03 + vat 19mm ARB - £50.77 + vat P/flex bushes - £25.95 +vat Do not stock Neuspeed bushes.

As far as I remember, they chose UNO because of - the minimal overhead when calling into a service when it is in the same process (a virtual method call) - the ability to cope with a large number of interfaces and services, also regarding compile times They made it the backbone of the newer, component-based parts of the software, and they use oneway calls a lot: in this way they can reduce the IPC traffic between clients and a server application. Regards, Karsten P.S. regarding deadlocks: Using remote UNO oneway calls can cause deadlocks. This is because UNO maintains the sequence of calls (both synchronous and oneway) made by a caller on a per caller thread basis. Note: oneway != asynchronous. Asynchronous calls would not maintain the call sequence. The problem may show-up whenever a oneway call triggering a callback is followed by a synchronous call issued in the same thread. See here for the full explanation. The problem can be avoided by choosing one option of: * On the caller side: Issue all oneway calls in a separate thread. * On the callee side: Immediately dispatch each oneway call to a separate thread and return. -- --------------------------------- Dr. Karsten Burger Lindenstraße 23 72074 Tübingen Telefon 0171 124 134 8

The use of virtual meetings has skyrocketed in the past three years in the American and global workplace. Better technology combined with the cost advantages of participants not having to travel to meet in the same place has caused both small and large companies to meet online for everything from annual meetings, to webinars , to small group planning sessions.
Once a tool used by only the most affluent corporations, video conferencing is now accessible and affordable on standard PCs and laptops and through Skype. Virtual meetings can save money and time, but just like any other meeting – perhaps even more so – they can waste valuable time and energy if not done well.
Many virtual meetings can be a complete waste of time if not managed well
"We know that many poor meeting practices get in the way of face-to-face meetings being effective. In the virtual space, the effects are magnified," notes Katherine Woods in the Meeting Magic Book: A Practical Guide for Business Managers Who want to Make Their Meetings More Productive. "Many virtual meetings can be a complete waste of time if not managed well."
How can you make virtual meetings work?
So how can you make virtual meetings work for you and your business? Here are five strategies to consider before you schedule you next online meeting.
Plan Ahead
Just because the technology is quick doesn't mean the preparations should be. Think ahead about potential technical glitches and be ready for them. Write out a cheat sheet ahead of time with technical instructions, such as how to mute phone lines. Create a back-up plan by sending documents by e-mail in case technology fails.
Familiarize yourself with conferencing tools, so that the screen stays lively. Use colorful charts, graphics and photos to make things interesting. Mike Song, co-author of The Hamster Revolution for Meeting: How to Meet Less and Get More Done, suggests that you incorporate team photos into your virtual meetings. "Participants bond better when they can connect to a face," he says. "For example, place a headshot of yourself on the cover slide of your next presentation."
Plan to use live video whenever you can. Not only does video enable your participants to read body language, it also encourages them to pay attention.
Send participants an agenda well ahead of meeting time and then stick to the agenda. State expectations for the meeting in terms of preparation and behavior. Request that participants dial in 10 minutes early so that any glitches can be taken care of before the meeting starts.
Set A Few Ground-Rules
Don't be too quick to ask participants to use their mute buttons. Of course, if someone is in a very noisy location, the mute button can be helpful, but otherwise, you will lose positive interactions. Remember you want to set a positive tone for the meeting, so you will want to hear laughter in response to a joke or even murmurs of discontent at a new proposal in order for the meeting to be effective.
Song suggests that you invite participants to make frequent use of the pubic chat feature. "Tech-savvy Gen-Yers use chat to communicate," he points out. "Chat also cuts meeting time because the speaker doesn't have to be interrupted every time someone wants to make a point."
State a strict no other technology policy so that participants do not play games on their Blackberries or text during the meeting. Make sure your own phone is off as well!
Ask participants who may be in an office together for the meeting to limit their side conversations. Ask everyone in the meeting to talk as an individual to the whole group so that everyone can hear and understand what is being said.
All of us have experienced what can happen when technology gets in the way of communication. We add smiley emoticons to our e-mails to make sure what we mean as light heartedness won't be mistaken for inappropriate sarcasm. We are sometimes over-polite in our correspondence to make sure we are taken seriously. Well, in virtual meetings, we need to be careful as well.
Welcome participants warmly just as you would do in person. Ask them to introduce themselves to the group and to identify themselves before making comments during the meeting.
Make time for small talk. Some virtual meeting leaders go right to the meat of the meeting without this important step. It is perhaps even more important in a virtual meeting to put everyone at ease with each other. Ask an open-ended neutral question to set a comfortable tone and to get everyone talking.
Make sure everyone knows the format you will be using and has access to the materials and tools you will be using. Do they know how to ask a question or make comments?
Watch your pacing. Be careful not to speak too quickly in a virtual meeting. Even with live video, the nuances that we gain from a face-to-face meeting can be lost when we are not in the same room. Also, pause more than you normally do when awaiting a response to a question. Remember that, even with the best of connections, there can be a delay between your asking question and your participants hearing your voice.
In addition, if you have non-native English speakers in your group, avoid using colloquialisms and jargon that might be misunderstood.
Follow your agenda to keep on schedule. Especially since some of your colleagues maybe in a different time zone (think middle of the night), be aware of how your time is going throughout the meeting. Don't be afraid to steer participants back to the topic if they get off course. You can always suggest there will be time for a follow-up on those points at a later date.
Keep track of action items and decisions by using on-screen tools or with a staff member taking notes. Be aware of who is taking part in any conversation or chat and who is not. You might want to occasionally address questions to participants by name to pull them into the conversation.
Nick Morgan, author of the book Trust Me: Four Steps to Authenticity and Charisma, advises facilitators to plan virtual meetings in 10 minute segments, suggesting that our attention spans have been shortened in the information age. Take these breaks to state where you are on the agenda and to ask for input when appropriate.
End your meeting at the scheduled time. Summarize what has been discussed and accomplished and thank everyone warmly. In addition, advise them of when they will hear from you again about any action steps. It is a nice touch to let each person say a few words of parting before you sign off.

According to an insider, the 24-year-old dad is disappointed because 'none of the other One Direction guys have been to visit' him and his newborn son.
Louis Tomlinson is enjoying his time as a new father, but there may be one thing that makes the One Direction member really upset. According to HollywoodLife.com, the 24-year-old dad is sad because none of the band's members have visited his baby son Freddie Reign.
The site's source said that Louis was disappointed by the lack of support from his bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Liam Payne. "None of the other One Direction guys have been to visit Louis since he had this baby, which has been upsetting to Louis," an insider stated.
"He knows that because the band has been on an extended hiatus, the other guys should have the time and make some time to come meet his new son. Louis is enjoying fatherhood and his life has changed a lot since Freddie was born," the insider added. "He wants to share his son with his mates, but he is still sad and disappointed they haven't been by yet. Louis is trying his best to be patient and understanding, though, and be the best father he can be."
The site speculated that the reasons why Harry, Niall and Liam had not met Louis's newborn son might be distance. Louis along with his baby mama Briana Jungwirth and his son are in Los Angeles, which is far away from the U.K.
Meanwhile, Zayn Malik, who left the band back in March 25, had acknowledged the baby's birth. In an interview, Zayn said, "Obviously I wish him the best of luck. His kid is cute as f**k so obviously I favorited it." Awwww!

I have been visiting Sabal Palms Inn for a dozen years now and still find it the best place on the beach. It is very relaxing, clean, convenient and quiet. The staff is the best - Yudit, Emigdio, Eddie, Anna and Miguel take good care of the guests and keep the place immaculate. Breakfast on the balcony is the best but there are great restaurants in the area if you don't feel like cooking in the full-size kitchen or kitchenette. There are beach chairs and bikes for you to use during your stay and lots of places to explore. I would highly recommend Sabal Palms and the Coconut Inn to anyone heading to St. Pete's.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Sabal Palms Inn is a family run inn directly facing the Gulf of Mexico. The only thing that separates you from the sandy white beach and the warm Gulf waters is a small two way utility road. Located in historic Pass-a-Grille where there is nothing growing on the beach except for nature. Proud member of the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber or Commerce and the Superior Small Lodging Association. Winner of the 2015 SSL White Glove Award. ... more less

In the FT, Daniel Dombey hears something absolutely scandalous from Adm Mike Mullen:
One senior official likens battling the Taliban to a game of "whack-a-mole", a once-ubiquitous US arcade game where the player uses a mallet to bash a random and increasingly frantic series of moles back into their holes. Another official compares it to a "definition of insanity" – doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result…
Asked a few days ago what would constitute success, Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said: "We will have a much better fix – in terms of clarity – towards the end of this year in terms of longer term what are the potential outcomes, and when those might occur, than we do right now." This, mind you, after 10 years of war.
Asked if prevailing against the Taliban required the governments in Pakistan and Afghanistan to act in different ways than they have to date, Admiral Mullen said it did. It is worth saying that finding a US military official who believes Pakistan is really going to crack down on Taliban havens in North Waziristan is about as unlikely as finding an American diplomat who thinks Kabul will crack down on corruption.
There are a few things to extract from this exchange. The first is that it should be an absolute scandal that in June of 2011, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is asking for another Friedman unit before speculating about what success will look like. The second is that the entire strategy of defeating the Taliban requires two ordinarily recalcitrant governments in Kabul and Islamabad to somehow behave in a different way from how they've behaved in the past. Moreover, we've known this for years—even as we declare success in the south while simultaneously complaining about corruption and absent government, as we send our spymaster to beg the Pakistanis to please, pretty please, stop funding the murderous thugs who kill hundreds of Afghan civilians and dozens of U.S. soldiers each month.
The entire foundation of the war, in other words, is based on a concerted effort to ignore reality. If you think we're about to defeat the Taliban and create enough space to withdraw, you must ignore the rampage of violence everywhere outside the south. You must ignore the fundamental inability of Kabul to send competent administrators and government staff to cleared areas. You must ignore the spike in civilian casualties. You must ignore Rawalpindi's funding and training of the insurgency. You must ignore the horrible abuses of U.S.-funded militias.
The war in Afghanistan is a scandal. And it has been a scandal for years. At this point, if we are not sinking most of our time and resources into finding a political solution that includes the Taliban and excludes al Qaeda—even at the stage of moving beyond assumption and emotion to testing whether such a thing is possible—then we are, as a country, just not interested in ever ending the war. In which case we should pick up, pull out, and leave behind a stern warning that anyone who dares poke his finger into our chest again will be bombed into pieces.

Reconstituted Panel Products are produced by reducing woody material to small particles and reconstituting them into large sheets of the desired thickness. These sheet materials are easy to handle and erect, enabling large areas to be covered quickly and economically. The main types of Reconstituted Panel Products available are:
Wet-processed fibreboards (principally softboards and hardboards);
Dry-processed fibreboards (principally MDF); and
A. Wet-processed Fibreboards (Softboard and Hardboard)
Wet-processed fibreboard, as produced in Australia, is made from eucalypt fibres. The fibres are suspended in water which gives rise to the name "wet-processed". They are fed onto an endless belt; the water is removed by suction; the ribbon of board is cut into desired lengths and stacked in a hot press to complete the bonding process. Because adhesives are unnecessary, eucalypt-based hardboards have obvious advantages in view of the rapid increase in the cost of bonding agents.
Often called "softboard" or "insulating board", this board is made from softwood fibres felted together but not consolidated by heat and pressure. The board is used for wall and ceiling lining to provide acoustic and thermal insulation.
There are three classes of hardboard:
, for general purposes not subject to weathering;
, a board promoted for internal use in humid, areas, such as bathrooms. It is heated with linseed oil in the final stages of manufacture and sold as tempered hardboard; this treatment also increases its modulus of rupture.
, hardboard made from selected hardwoods. The fibres are given extra steaming to remove material that could be attractive to fungi. A small amount of wax is added to improve the board's water repellent properties and the curing pressure is adjusted to provide a medium density board - with enhanced stability. Such medium density exterior grade hardboard is a good cladding material - which is stable, free of edge swelling and an outstanding substrate for all types of coating. It has good resistance to impact damage and denting, is non-corrosive, has good insulating properties and is easy to cut and nail.
The equilibrium moisture content of hardboard is much lower than that of timber, varying between a half and three-quarters of the figures obtained for the natural wood. However it still needs conditioning to the environment in which it is to be used before being fixed in position.
Australian Standard AS 1859.4 provides definitions, dimensions and tolerances, and the requirements for properties such as bending strength and thickness swell in water. For exterior grades it also specifies internal bond and wet bending strength.
Hardboard of an appropriate type is used for pre-finished panelling, sheet floor underlayment, cladding, door facings, perforated display boards, eaves lining, television cabinet backs, automotive components, concrete formwork and roof and wall shingles.
B. Dry-processed Fibreboards
Dry-processed fibreboards are made with a fibre mat containing only about 10 percent moisture. Bonding is achieved by the addition of synthetic resin adhesives which are cured under heat and pressure.
There are a number of different classes of dry-processed fibreboard available, including ultra low density, low density, medium density and high density classes. AS/NZS 1859.2-2004 provides all relevant properties and specifications for the various classes. The most commonly produced and used class is medium density fibreboard or MDF. Both
standard medium density fibreboard
) (dry use) and
moisture resistant medium density fibreboard
) classes of MDF are produced for internal use and are differentiated by the adhesive used during production.
Remember: Moisture resistant does not mean waterproof.
Fibreboards based on radiata pine have a very smooth surface, are easy to work and edges can be smoothly contoured. The material is a good substrate for high gloss coatings, decorative overlays and is also attractive in its raw form with a clear finish. It has advantages over particleboard in screw holding ability, internal bond strength and modulus of rupture.
AS/NZS 1859.2-2004 notes that:
Neither MR MDF nor HP MDF (high performance) should be used where persistent wetting is likely. If fibreboard is left in continuously wet conditions, degradation will occur through adhesive failure and/or fungal attack.
Exterior use should be strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, instructions and guidelines.
Fibreboard containers
An unfortunate confusion arises from the common application of the word "fibreboard" to the cardboard-like material which constitutes the common container used especially for the conveyance of fruit and vegetables to market and for the bulk packaging of most grocery merchandise.
Such material, more akin to a thick paper, is of course a very different product from the fibreboards discussed above.
C. Particleboards
Particleboard is a panel product made from relatively large particles instead of fibres and is dependent for its strength and durability on the type and quantity of adhesive used to bond the ingredients together. Other terms such as "chipboard", "waferboard", and "flakeboard" are used to describe panel products of similar type but differing in particle size. The Australian Standard AS/NZS 1859.1-2004 describes three types:
Standard general purpose particleboard
), intended for internal use in dry conditions, such as in the construction of furniture (often with a veneer overlay), cupboards and shelving. Urea formaldehyde resin is the usual binder. STD particleboard is sometimes used as a decorative wall facing but it is important that each room be faced with material from the same manufacturer, and preferably the same batch, to ensure uniformity of appearance.
Moisture resistant general purpose particleboard
), intended for internal use in humid conditions where occasional wetting may occur, such as in bathrooms and kitchens. A proportion of particleboard is sold as Low Pressure Melamine (LPM) coated board, often in the form of "whiteboard" where a white overlay colour is used.
Remember: Moisture resistant does not mean waterproof.
High Performance particleboard
) intended for use in:
continuously humid conditions such as occurs in tropical climates or where occasional wetting in interior conditions followed by drying may occur; or
loadbearing applications in dry and humid conditions.
AS/NZS 1859.1-2004 notes that:
Neither MR nor HP particleboard should be used where persistent wetting is likely. If particleboard is left in continuously wet conditions, degradation will occur through adhesive failure and/or fungal attack.
Exterior use should be strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, instructions and guidelines.
Particleboard Flooring
AS/NZS 1860 Part 1 defines two classes of Particleboard Flooring:
Class 1 flooring
, for internal flooring, manufactured with an adhesive which does not deteriorate in the presence of moisture or dampness. This grade is suitable for limited exposure during construction. Phenol formaldehyde and tannin formaldehyde water proof adhesives are most commonly used. Most flooring grade particleboard production is of class 1 which is destined for use in Australian conditions.
Class 2 flooring
, for internal flooring, but only in locations where there is no risk of dampness. Urea formaldehyde is the most commonly used adhesive in its manufacture. The class 2 board is appropriate for upper-storey floors or for ground floors where permanently dry under-floor conditions are assured. It is unsuited for tropical areas of high natural humidity.
Class 2 flooring
is not suitable for use in Australia
Installation of particleboard flooring
The Australian Standard AS 1860.2-2006 sets out the conditions for using
Class 1 flooring
as well as providing information on the appropriate precautions to take when laying both platform and fitted flooring of particleboard. Platform flooring may be defined as the laying into permanently fixed position of the flooring material over the whole floor area as soon as joists are in position and before the internal and external wall framing is erected, to provide a safe working platform for the various tradesmen, and to speed up the erection of the building; it necessarily involves the exposure of the flooring membrane to the risk of considerable moisture uptake from dewfall and rain before the building provides full protection. Particleboard flooring should not be exposed to the weather for more than two or three months. Edge swelling is a characteristic of particleboard when exposed to moisture; the effect is limited virtually to the area within 50 mm of the edge but much of the swelling is not recoverable on drying so an appreciable amount of material may have to be sanded off at the edges to obtain a level floor if there has been a lot of exposure to the weather. This sanding is likely to expose particles of a different size to the main body of the sheet and have some effect on appearance. If the floor is to be covered this is not important.
Exposure of the particleboard to the weather for more than two or three months is likely to have an effect on its internal bonding strength and stiffness.
Particleboard flooring is not suitable for external decking.
Particleboard can be made termite resistant by preservative treatment to H2 level. (See:

Shaveesa Gasper, the 2015 Teen Xplosion winner has urged her peers to embrace the lessons from life experiences to help shape their future.
In her final walk before handing over the reins, Gasper, who received severe burns to 60 per cent of her body in a domestic dispute at her home on January 1, said she is stronger today having embraced the changes to her life.
"I beseech you to be fearless, be doubtless and trust the quiet voice within. Turn your back on the naysayers, liars and the haters and believe in who you are, rely on that inner strength; reflect on your enjoyable and triumphant memories. Life is a journey with questionable situations and doubts, persons come and persons go but… I am grateful for what they have taught me," she said.
Adorned in an Afrocentric red and yellow body hugging number,
that tapered to a voluminous fish tail, a poised Gasper elegantly walked across the stage at the Antigua Recreation Grounds to resounding applause, some even brought to tears by the tower of strength radiating from the 2015 winner that blew kisses to her supporters in the audience.
"There comes a point in time where you could either cower and retreat from life or you can embrace the changes, I have chosen to embrace the changes in my life.
"If there is nothing else, I wish for all those in attendance participants and [Monday] night's winner to remember is this – life may never go as smoothly as planned, it is indeed a roller-coaster with both amazing and horrendous times," she added.
She thanked those who assisted her in her run to
Teen Xplosion 2015, and those who have showed unwavering support during her hospitalization in Antigua, Martinique and then to Paris, where she remained in recovery for six months before returning to Antigua on July 5.
Though her reign has come to an end, Gasper assured the audience that the fire within burns brighter than the flames that once consumed her and the journey as "Shaveesa Gasper is just beginning."

Since the day Seth moved in I knew that he was the sexiest man that i have seen. He was about a 5'-8' marine with the most perfect abs i have ever seen. He has short brown hair and the most beautiful hazel eyes! He is married and lives across the street form me. I met him the 2nd day he was where because i saw a rock had been thrown through his car window. I knocked on his door and told him what i saw and was very thankful. Since then i take my dog over there to play with his dog and i love every minute of it. I love seeing him in his marine uniform everyday after a long hard day so i go over right after he gets home.
Every day I watch his house through my windows, hoping to get a glace at him shirtless or naked. I Have knock at his door once and saw him shirtless and a boner in his shorts. I didn't say anything but i went home and stroked my cock to the picture in my head! Man it was hot!
A few months later Seth drives home in a Saleen Mustang. God he looked so fucking hot in that car! The next day i was walking my dog and i saw him and his wife outside the car unpacking groceries. I waved and said that's a nice car. He smiled and said thanks. As i was unlocking my door I turned to hear him say. You want to go for a ride? I quickly put my dog inside and jump on the offer. Went took the highway a couple of miles south and i was hard the whole time.
He was wearing a pair of skimpy ass marine running shorts and his hairy thighs were so fucking amazing! I Frantically tried to bring up different topics to get my dick back down to normal size but it just wouldn't work! I tried to adjust it so he couldn't see it, but he did. He said to me man you don't need to try and hide it i noticed you were hard the whole time.
I felt my cock jump! I was so embarrassed. But then he reached in my shorts and grabbed my 8 inches and started stroking. As soon as he touched me i thought that i was going to cum. He had the softest hands and it felt like he knew what he was doing. So i asked him have you ever stroked another mans cock. He nodded and stroked harder! Finally i erupted and cum went flying. I felt amazing! i never felt that good cuming .
I shot about 6 shots and he stuck his finger in the puddle of jizz on my shirt and lick it off his finger. He then turned his head towards me and said my turn! I wasted no time pulling his cock out through the leg opening of his shorts. As i was pulling his hard 8' cock out i noticed he was wearing a jockstrap. My god i love jocks and a sexy marine was wear one was fucking hot!
I started by licking the cockhead and the i took it all in. I felt the car take a quick swerve and heard a loud moan. This guy was in heaven. I had never suck a cock before and i guess i was doing a pretty damn good job. He it only took about 5 but i got him to cum. He moaned oh god I'm cumming, ah ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhh. I felt shots of cum hitting the back of my throat! There must have been at least 10 shots. I couldn't hold all the sperm in and i started to drip out of my mouth. I want ed every drop so i wiped my mouth and licked my fingers. man it tasted so good.
I sat up and kissed him letting his own cum back into his mouth. His tongue was down my throat and I loved it. I don't know how he stayed on the road but he did it. We got off at the next exit and turned around and went home. His wife was standing in the driveway when we pulled up. We were gone for about and hour but i didn't notice the time fly by. She didn't suspect anything and he went inside like nothing happened.
We have occasional suckoff sessions but nothing more. I still want his cock up my virgin asshole. I'm saving it for him and one day he will get it!

|Next chapter
As Otan flees towards the Eastern Air Temple with Meili and Seippa, things are not well in the Fire Nation as Lahn's secret plot comes to fruition and Zisa challenges General Ghef to Agni Kai.
Seippa weaved through the streams of smoke billowing from an oncoming volcano as she soared through the night sky. Otan sat at the base of her neck, holding the reins. Seippa let out a long groan, prompting him to massage her neck. "Yeah, I'm glad to see you too, old girl," He said softly.
Behind him, Meili sat in the middle of the saddle, glaring at his back. "What about that girl you left behind at the Fire Capital?" She said, "What was her name, Zisi?" It was the first thing she had spoken since they had left the Fire Nation.
"Zisa," Otan said, not turning around.
"Who's going to protect her now?" Meili pressed, "Now that you're gone, they'll know for sure that you're guilty and she'll be the one to pay the price for it."
"If she keeps quiet, then she'll be safe," said Otan.
Meili smiled grimly. "If that girl's anything like I was at her age, she's not going to let this thing go until she sees it through to the end with or without someone to help her."
"She's a Firebender," said Otan, "Firebenders are born to fight. Airbenders aren't."
"To me you're sounding less like an Airbender and more like Yemi," said Meili.
Otan stiffened. "I left because now that Sozin and the Fire Nation are out for Airbender blood and we need to be prepared before he acts!" he shouted, "I didn't turn my back on my own people!"
"No," said Meili, glancing back at the Fire Capital, "You turned your back on those who needed you most."
Otan said nothing in answer. As far as he was concerned, the conversation was over. He could barely bring himself to remember the parting conversation between himself and Zisa. Why hadn't she understood that he was only trying to protect her?
"So what are you going to do now?" asked Otan.
"Heading to the Eastern Temple," Said Meili, "We need to prepare for the Fire Nation."
"You're not going to fight them?" Otan said incredulously, "The Fire Nation has every possible advantage!"
Meili nodded. "Well what else can we do? With the Avatar gone, we're the only ones who can save ourselves-we're on our own! The Fire Nation won't stop hunting us until they find the Avatar or destroy us all, sooner or later, us Airbenders are going to have to stand up and fight."
Otan shook his head. "You haven't seen what the Shadow Painters can do," he said.
"Yes," Meili said quietly, "I have. Nine years ago. I saw them destroy your village in a single flash of light. And if someone doesn't do something, there will be more villages just like that one-villages filled with frozen shadows. Like it or not you are an Air Nomad, Otan, one of the best I've ever known. I've never once seen you waver from the Airbender way, but if the Fire Nation conquers the world, history won't remember how non-violent or detached you were form the world if there is no longer anyone who honors those things."
A Fifteen-Year-Old Girl
There was a knock on the door to General Ghef's study. The old man hated to be interrupted. "Open it," he barked to the guard on the other side of the door. The partition slid open to admit the merchant's daughter, Zisa. He didn't even have to look up to see the rage barely contained by her form.
"You, know," he said, coughing into a red handkerchief, "It's customary to bow before a decorated general and war veteran."
The girl just stood in the doorway, shaking for several moments until she spoke. "I challenge you to Agni Kai," she said, "At noon. Today."
The General could barely contain himself. "I'm a very busy man," he said between wheezing guffaws, "I'm afraid I don't have time for jokes. If you'd like, I can have my guards escort you back to your family's estate. I'm sure they don't want their daughter being kidnapped by pirates again."
The girl slammed her palms down on Ghef's desk, causing him to splatter ink all over a document he had been writing. "This isn't a game," she said, "As a citizen of the Fire Nation, I may invoke the right of Agni Kai upon whomever I chose."
"That you do, girl," said Ghef as he regained his composure, "But I'm afraid that it would be a rather one-sided fight. One general challengers those who are of equal skill."
Zisa gave him a wry twist of a smile. "You're a crippled old man and I'm a fifteen-year-old girl. I think I can handle those odds, what about you, General?"
The General thought for a moment, then nodded. "What are your terms?"
"If I win," said Zisa, "Then the Shadow Painters go public. Everyone Fire Nation will know what you've been doing for the past nine years."
"Very well," Ghef said, "But remember, this will be a fight to the death."
Zisa's eyes narrowed. "It's Agni Kai." She said.
The Shadow Painters
Several days had passed by the time Lahn arrived at the Shadow Painters' base and training ground, located in a remote and ungoverned area of the Earth Kingdom, on the edge of the vast desert lying in the center of the continent. A flash of white followed by a mushroom cloud billowed out far to the east, towards the rising sun. The work that they did here was far too dangerous and too visible to be done in Fire Nation territory and so the Shadow Painters had covertly paid for Earth Kingdom contractors, architects and laborers to build them a suitable and defensible headquarters out here in the wastes.
When sentry situated on a rocky outlook at the far end of the blackened v-shaped valley where the entrance was located say Lahn approaching, he sent down the messenger bird immediately.
Lahn received the messenger bird and the blank scroll it carried, writing out the pass code in the special ink he had brought with him and promptly returned the bird to its master. Had he gotten the code wrong or used any other kind of ink, the Shadow Painter Elite in his lead armor would have annihilated him on the spot, as he had to many unfortunate travelers or would-be explorers who came to the valley.
It really was an elegant system-Lahn had thought of it himself. The lead armor worn by the Elites had been his idea as well. Ironic, since the purpose of the armor had not been so much to keep others safe the poison fire that they emitted but rather to help contain the creatures within the armor. It was a pity that Ghef thought of them that way, that the Elites were a failed experiment and had become something less than human. Then again, the general had never had Lahn's vision-because to Lahn, the Elites represented the next stage in Firebending evolution.
The field commander could hear the sound of hidden machinery as a square doorway opened up in the rock at the narrow end of the desert valley, and a dozen Elites rushed to greet him, the only visible part of them being their flaming red eyes glowing within their lead helmets.
"Greetings, my brothers and sisters" said Lahn, "Brave warriors of the Fire Nation!"
"Does the General know you're here, my lord?" said the foremost of the Elites, his voice like crackling embers.
Lahn shook his head, "I'm afraid our esteemed General has his hands full planning an assault on the Eastern Air Temple and trying to intercept a runaway Airbender. How are all you?"
The Elites looked skyward, "The comet approaches, sir," he said, "We can feel ourselves growing stronger every day."
Lahn grinned, "That's just what I wanted to hear. I take you've made all of the preparations?"
The other nodded. "Yes, sir" he said, "Follow me, my brother."
Lahn and the other Shadow Painters proceeded down a darkened corridor. No light was necessary, as the faint glow showing between the chinks in the Elites' armor provided sufficient light for Lahn to navigate as they wound their way deeper into the mountainside into the complex beneath. Eventually, they came to the place where it had all begun. They called it the mandala chamber. It was a vast, circular room, lit by a ring of torches around its circumference and domed out at the ceiling where a circular shaft had been dug leading up to the surface and the air above. A square trench had been dug out of the trench touching the circular walls of the chamber, filled with churning water that bubbled up from a natural underground spring. By bringing all four elements into play at a single location, the Shadow Painters had managed to create a small center of spiritual power, which, while not as powerful as a naturally occurring center, would suit their purposes.
Stopping at the square slab in the center of the room, Lahn removed his armor and helmet and his shirt and let one of the Elites burn a series of seven points at different locations along his torso and head. These were the seven Chakras, places of power along the human body which facilitated the Bending arts in certain individuals though the natural flows of Chi within their bodies.
Five years ago it was thought that an individual could only access a set amount of Chi that they had been born with and that remained fairly constant within them throughout their lives. However, creatures like Badgermoles and Dragons could Bend naturally and with much greater proficiency, which was understandable given their size, and yet they were able to instinctively use Bending techniques that required humans years to master. The solution; such creatures must have had access to proportionally greater Chi than their size suggested. Five years ago, General Ghef had tested this theory on Lahn's brother, with results that neither of the three men could have possibly imagined. Laying face up on the stone slab, Lahn brought himself into a state of extreme calm and began to prepare himself for what was to come. His brother had said that the original process had been the most painful experience in his life-not just physically, but mentally as well. And five years ago they had used ordinary Firebenders who had only the faintest idea of what they were getting into. Lahn could only imagine how much more intense his own suffering would be as he closed his eyes, watching as the seven Elites took their places around him, each focusing their power on a particular Chakra. Little by little, he began to feel the warmth of power spreading outward throughout his entire body, and he smiled.
The two of them met in the front courtyard of the General's estate. The sun baked the stone patio beneath their feet while a few tropical shrubs watched from the border.
Ghef stood across from her on the far side of the arena, looking more old and frail than he had indoors. "it's not too late, you know," he said to her, "You can still give this up and go back home."
"Not a chance," she said.
Ghef nodded. The two of them bowed, and before Zisa even had time to get into her stance, the General was practically on top of her, moving with speed that she would never have thought possible for such an old man. Gouts of flame spread from his palms, just barely missing Zisa's face, but the girl was quick as well and retaliated with flames of her own that sprouted up in the wake of her heels. The General hadn't been expecting that and barely missed getting singed across his chest.
Zisa pressed the attack, adding a series of high-kicks and a few well-timed strikes with her hands, sending concentrated streaks of flame across the battlefield directly at Ghef's face, catching him across the crown of his head.
The General was doubled over, panting, but trying hard not to show it. Zisa knew that she had to be careful. What the general lacked in stamina and raw vitality, he made up for in technique, speed and most of all, experience. Even so, Zisa was confident she could bring about a decisive victory if she waited for him to tire.
She went about it with a series of clever feints and maneuvers; getting in close and pulling away, forcing the general to do most of the work, leading him back and forth across the field. And yet, the more she fought, the more she got the feeling that something was wrong, although as to exactly what it was she couldn't quite tell. All of the General's movements had become gradually smaller and more precise, coming in short, quick bursts rather than Zisa' broad, sweeping movements. The size of the fire that he generated had decreased as well, and yet, even though she dodged his visible flames, she still felt as though she were being burned in places. That was when the first wave of nausea hit her, causing her to double over.
On the other side of the arena, the General spoke to her. "What you're feeling are the initial effects of the Shadow Painters' secret technique. Next you'll experience vomiting, headaches and high fever. If you surrender, I can help you before any permanent damage is done to your body."
"Never," said Zisa, gathering strength for her next attack. In a rush, she dived at the old man sending a wave of fire in his direction, but her attack flew wildly off the mark as she stumbled to the ground. Again, she got up, launching another attack, again and again. Each time she grew weaker, more disoriented and confused. She knew that if she didn't end the fight soon, it would mean an end to her. Already it felt like her insides were on fire.
Suddenly, she had an idea. It was desperate, but she had nothing left to try-nothing left to lose. Drawing upon the poisoned fire radiating throughout her body, she redirected the energy into a single thrust of her arm, sending out a broadening sweep of blue flame that grew brighter and hotter as it flowed towards the General, who was caught completely unprepared.
For a moment, the outcome seemed certain, but the attack wasn't enough, and at the last possible moment, Ghef turned the attack aside.
"No," said Zisa, tears running down her cheeks. She had lost. Her vision began to blur as the General approached her. In moments, what little strength Zisa had left emptied form her body and the last thing she remembered was falling-falling into darkness.

The dead have risen, and their hunger for the flesh of the living is insatiable.…
It has been six weeks since the virus engulfed the world. Everyone who was infected died, and then rose again. Governments collapsed, armies fell, and civilizations turned to dust as the human race tore itself to pieces. The living are in danger of becoming extinct.…
Jeff Blaine has witnessed the annihilation of his family and everything that mattered to him. When he steps outside his home for the first time since the world died, he meets Megan, George, and Jason, three other survivors who force him to accept that there may still be a reason to fight and live to see another day. It doesn't take long for the quartet to stumble into a trap set by a group led by the charismatic Michael. While he promises a safe haven from the undead behind the walls of his makeshift fortress, the loyalty he and his cronies demand may be too high a price for Jeff and the others to pay.
Daylight is fading for humanity.…
When a routine supply run to a nearby town turns deadly and the ghouls walking the street track the living back to their hideout, the mettle of the meager band of survivors will be tested as they are forced to face the onslaught of the undead. Even as they flee, and their world falls deeper into despair, Jeff and the others must find a way to defeat not only the undead, but the hatred that threatens to cripple their souls. Because the only way anyone will survive is if they can find their way beyond the dark.
Jim Cooper performs the final, disturbing, and emotionally-charged installment of Patrick D'Orazio's Dark Trilogy with a growl befitting the bleak, post-apocalyptic world in which Jeff Blaine and his few fellow survivors find themselves. In a time and place where everything that can go wrong has, nothing goes as planned, beginning with the supply run that reveals the group's hideout, provoking an onslaught of the undead. Caught between two gruesome fates, Blaine and the others face the zombie who wish to gnaw them from the outside while struggling with the hatred that threatens to consume them from within.

great ending to the series
yes. the story is short, but full of hold onto your seat action. i couldn't stop listening. i wanted to see how the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks they got outta there!
book 3 picks up where book 2 ended- with the group of survivors fleeing the hoard of zombies in an rv. if you listened to book 2 and are hesitant to download book 3, DON'T BE!
book 3 is non-stop action from beginning to end. i won't give away what happens, but there was a satisfying ending for all of the characters, especially george.
so if you made it through book 2, book 3 is worth its price. it's full of fleeing, fighting, chilling scenes of characters dying, settling old scores, and re-uniting with loved ones. oh yeah! and lots of zombies. no character is safe! i like authors who have the gravitas to off a character.
my main caveat is i really wish the author had combined all 3 books into one 1 book, but that's my 2 cents. overall, it was a fun series to listen to.

Not very good...

Estimating Revenue Under Collusion-Proof Auctions
We propose a method to nonparametriclly estimate the revenue under a auction that is efficient and resilient to collusion [Chen and Micali, 2012]. Efficiency is achieved on account of a lower revenue and we propose a method to quantify this efficiency-revenue trade-off, i.e. the extra cost for which efficient allocation can be guaranteed even when bidders collude. We implement a local polynomial estimation method on sample of California highway procurements data and find that to achieve efficiency the cost of procurement must increase by at lest 10.8% and can go up to 48.8% depending on the size of bidding-ring.

text: Hi guys, I'm praying you guys can help me out here! I'm brand new to Android (just switched from 5 years of blackberry) and can't tell you how much I hate this phone so far! I'm literally 24 hours away from taking it back because I've invested hours trying to get what I think the most basic tasks accomplished via apps that don't work, glitch, etc... As a last ditch effort to stay on my Samsung Epic 4G - I'm hoping the experts here can guide me in the right direction and help solve my issues. So I've compiled a brief list of the most annoying issues I can't seem to solve - please help guys!!! 1. The Calendar! I was so excited to use the "cloud" solution but so disappointed what an elementary and glitchy calendar this phone has! By default - when you enter a new event - it saves it to "My Calendar" which does not sync to your Gmail accounts!!! I goggled this and it's a big issue. Sounds like there really isn't a fix. I've tried everything and can't get it to sync. I can manually select my Gmail calendar when adding the event but that's ridiculous if you use the calendar as much as I do. Also by default it doesn't have a notification and you can't change this - again you can manually remember for each and every event to select the reminder but come on??? Who puts in a reminder/calendar even in their phone and doesn't want to ALWAYS be notified of it??? I tried downloading Gemini and it's glitchy. Long story the notification window comes up blank because it glitches with the Google calendar - I couldn't find a fix on that so gave up. Also the snooze sucks - you can't simply choose to snooze something 5 min., 15 min. or an hour??? Who designed this??? Anyone have a legit calendar solution??? 2. The messenger makes a notification of a text message mid-call. I use my phone primarily for business and can't have chimes going off in my ear when my Wife texts me about dinner. Again - no setting for this??? I goggled it and people install Handcent. It allows you to change the setting. The downside - now your factory messenger link remains on your home page. You can't swap that with Handcent. That's a pretty ghetto solution......I then installed ADW Launcher to customize a bit.....again - a ton of work to swap out a shortcut all caused by notifications of text messages! I consider this partially solved but not too happy with it - anyone have a better solution? 3. I'm in the car on my Bluetooth a lot and can't stand the drag to answer. I installed "Easy Answer Buttons" but that program is glitchy. It doesn't work with blue tooth - I.e. - if I answer the call via Bluetooth on my car steering wheel - the program isn't smart enough to know the calls been answered so the screen remains on answer or ignore. It's also very delayed - I see call coming and it takes a couple seconds for the buttons to appear - again - a pretty ghetto fix. Anyone have a better solution? 4. Gmail is frustrating. I have several accounts and hate I can't have separate icons for each of them. I also hate the threaded conversations. I do like the speed and push ability but want a more normal outlook/blackberry solution. Anyone have a legit solution? 5. The screen doesn't time out when you charge the phone - you have to press the sleep button every time - annoying!!! Anyone have a solution? 6. I also noticed the screen stays on when I'm in the car on a call via Bluetooth - I installed "shake to wake" because I couldn't stand the fact that the screen shuts off and I can't hang up a call at the end of a conversation. I set the program to the hardest shake possible and I believe it's supposed to work with the cheek sensor so not sure if the vibration of the car (although it's constantly on when I'm cruising mildly on the freeway) could be causing it. Solution??? Other than that - I've found "patch" fixes to make the phone tolerable - but in my opinion - this phone is a great toy but true business day to day functionality sucks so far! Sorry if I'm so negative guys I've just spent so much time with such poor results I'm turning to you guys. On a side note I do love the web, games, playful apps, etc... But it's gotta function like a core phone/calendar to stay with me! Thanks for the help guys!

A 'Quest' is a 150-year-old English tradition that has been transplanted to Vermont by an organization called Vital Communities. Participants follow clues that are found in a book titled Valley Quest, which takes them on 89 different treasure hunts across Vermont and New Hampshire. Each quest in the book contains riddle-like clues and maps for the hunt. The quests are designed to teach adults and children about the natural and cultural history of the communities they live in. At the end of each quest the participants find a treasure chest containing a journal for the questors to sign and leave messages in, a stamp with which to stamp their quest books, and more information about the community.

Both have four wheels. Each has a steering wheel. They both transport you from point A to point B. They both have headlights, tail lights, a gas pedal and a brake. Each has accommodations for people to sit in comfort while traveling. So what's the difference between the two cars and why does this apply to creating attorney video?
I'm glad you asked.
The difference is night and day. One is a high-performance sports car. The other is an economical way to get around. Why does this apply to creating attorney video? Simple.
There are video production companies that offer an economical way to create attorney video and charge you a few hundred dollars. Then, there are web video companies that are the "Cadillac" and "Porsches" for creating video for lawyers that will charge you anywhere from $4,000 and up. Which one best fits you and your needs?
Can you get by with a 'cookie-cutter' video that uses a template regardless of whether you're an attorney or a baker? I have seen videos like this, and I have seen video production' websites that showcase their videos. They all use the same formula, just replace one person and insert another.
With a top-0f-the-line video production company, their goal is to individualize you. Nothing is cookie-cutter about those videos. They also charge top dollar. Are they worth it? Well, let me ask you this question: You can drive the Hyundai and get to work just fine. You can drive your Porsche and also get to work just fine. If you have the ability to choose either car, which would you choose? Which provides the best value for your money? Does image matter to you? As an attorney who wants to create video to show the world what you do, do you think your image matters?
When you give your client a ride home, does it matter to you whether you're driving a Porsche or a Hyundai? If it doesn't, then by all means choose the most economical car. If image is everything to you, then you should be driving that Porsche.
When creating attorney video, look beyond the cookie-cutter way of creating video. The entire reason why you use video is to show how you're different. The only way to do that is to individualize you and your video. In my opinion, having the most basic formula-driven video will not accomplish your goal. Plus, the video company that knows and understands what you do will have a better insight into your work and importantly, understand what an online viewer looks for when searching for an attorney online.
Why wouldn't you want the experience and knowledge that such a video production company offers compared to a local wedding photographer who is eager to make a few extra dollars by pressing "record" on his camcorder and giving you a bare-bones finished video? The difference is remarkable. I'm not only talking about the quality and technique of the video. I'm also talking about the content. Don't make the mistake of being 'penny-wise' and 'pound-foolish'. Creating a well-orchestrated video, with an experienced video producer makes all the difference in the world.
Here comes your Porsche now.

So true…
It does not always need to expensive but it can never be "cheap"
Pre-production is the key… don't be in such a big hurry to haul out the cameras (a common problem/mistake).
The flip side is this… Production companies need to be able to bill for pre-production. Too many clients want to lump this exercise in with an initial consultation that is often done gratis and therefore think put little or no value on it and don't want to see it as a line item on quotes.
