We Were Young + Partied Too, But Where Are the Pictures?
I'm talking to the 40 years olds in this post or the parents of today. There are a lot of differences between today and the days of our youth, but I'm referring more specifically as to how we present ourselves. I can't speak for all of our generation but I think I can speak for many. We were young as well, we partied, sometimes too much maybe even got in a bit of trouble for it by our "'rents." I just wonder why anyone didn't seemingly take photos? Where are the pictures of our wild and crazy times? I can't tell you how many pictures I see in my feed of 20 somethings holding up a solo cups, giving the 'rock horns' ala Bret Michaels, shouting "whoa!" with their ball caps to the back, etc. Again, we were like that too but seems there is no proof.
I've often wondered how I'd feel if I woke up one morning to check my Facebook feed to see a dozen tagged photos of me being crazy from my teens or early 20s. I would probably laugh and get nostalgic and keep the tags because that's just who I am. I would love to know how you would take it or if this has happened to you. Would you celebrate the pictures and add to the story or would you cringe and un-tag, assuming the pics weren't too over the top?
I will say this, we as party animals, never gave the camera 'duck face' or a booty bump pose.

Bandit offers a rotary drum design that cuts knife changing time in half, makes it easier to set the knife to the anvil, and easy to remove the shaft of the drum should the need arise on its Quick-Change Rotary Drum Chipper. Not only is the knife changing process now less time consuming, but it is also simple to do. Knife maintenance is one of the most important items on these dependable chippers. The need to remove the shaft from the drum is not a common occurence, but when the need does arise, the old-style shafts on conventional drums can be very difficult to remove. Oftentimes the shaft must be cut from the drum, ruining both components. Removing the shaft from the rotor in the Quick-Change System is simple and can be easily completed without damaging the rotor.Bandit offers two different styles of rotary drum chippers, including 12″ and 16″ long drums.

Not just Azazel, lol. Read Charby the Vampirate on drunkduck...he looks a lot like Victor, the human vampire hunter, just demonized. Victor also has a scar, but it's on the other eye. The monocle looked like Victor's dead eye. The soul patch looked like the one Victor gets later in the comic.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Dude hate to say it....
But, have you ever seen the movie X-men First Class? If so and this is your take on the character Azazel in it then I wont hold it against you. But you should probably give credit then...
Thanks for the heads up. We did not use any marvel content for references. We created this character with the idea that he is half dragon and half man. The monocle and suit represents the fact that he is high class and king.

Liberty Lake police investigate car theft
Thu., Oct. 10, 2013
A couple called the Liberty Lake Police Department late in the morning of Oct. 3 to ask if their car had been towed from the parking lot while they were sleeping at the Quality Inn and Suites.
It hadn't: Police had recovered the stolen car and returned it to its rightful owner.
Police discovered the stolen car at 3:40 a.m. and the owner picked it up several hours later, said Police Chief Brian Asmus.
When an officer suggested to the woman on the phone that he could meet with her and take a report about the missing car, she hung up. Police believe they have identified the woman and man who could be heard talking in the background as she was on the phone with the officer. The investigation is continuing.
On Sunday, police discovered that a mother may have left her three young children home alone overnight. The children's father called just before 11:30 a.m. to ask that police check on the children. Officers responded to the 25000 block of East Hawkstone Loop and spoke to the oldest child, a 10-year-old boy. He reported that his mother left to go to the store the night before and never returned, Asmus said. The boy said he called and texted her repeatedly and got no response. The boy cared for his 7-year-old and 11-month-old siblings in her absence.
Officers contacted the mother, who said she had been at a casino until 2 a.m. and then came home to sleep for a few hours before returning to the casino at 7 a.m. The case has been referred to another agency, Asmus said.
Other incidents
Oct. 1: A resident in the 23000 block of East Settler Drive found a fast food bag in front of his home that contained items stolen in a vehicle prowl in Spokane Valley. The items were returned to the owner.
Oct. 2: Someone is believed to have entered a home in the 23000 block of East Valleyway and stolen more than $1,200 in property while the residents slept. A door may have been left unlocked. A home in the same block had its burglary alarm set off a little more than an hour after the first report was received. An officer found footprints leading to an open window near the garage. Nothing was taken.
Oct. 5: Police responded to multiple 911 calls in the 2400 block of North Madson Street for domestic violence. At first there was an argument and no assault. On the fourth call, however, officers arrested a woman after she reportedly threw a glass of orange juice at a man.
A vehicle prowl was reported in the 20000 block of East Deschutes Avenue and a $200 pair of prescription glasses were reported stolen. The vehicle had been left unlocked overnight.
Oct. 6: An $800 bicycle and a weed trimmer were taken from a garage in the 20000 block of East Deschutes Avenue. A garage door had been left open.
Arrests: There were five arrests for driving with a suspended license, one arrest for both driving with a suspended license and an arrest warrant, one arrest for both driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license and one arrest for driving under the influence.
Citations: Officers handed out two citations for failure to show proof of liability insurance and five for speeding. Additional citations were given for expired vehicle registration, defective windshield wipers and failure to stop at a stop light.

Shula Zaken, former aide to Ehud Olmert, received 11 months in prison at the end of her sentencing hearing in Tel Aviv on Thursday morning.
Zaken was convicted of being an accomplice in the 'Holyland' affair in which she and Olmert accepted bribes to overlook building codes for Jerusalem Hotel sponsers.
Olmert was sentenced Tuesday to six years in prison. Zaken provided evidence against Olmert in return for the prosecution asking for the relitively light sentence of 11 months.

just got a question, why should I use enum instead of an int?
enum just gives me +1 from the predecessor I picked.
why not use a fixed number?
I can understand if im going to write out the numbers on the months of the entire year, then it can be good to get +1 instead of writing:
january = 1; february = 2; etc etc etc
but other than that, I just dont get it :P
DONT link me to another homepage where it is explaining the enum, cuz I have read that.
Give me some concrete examples.

Our retail stores cater to the parents of students in the kindergarten through 12th grade who attend private, parochial, Christian, and public schools that require uniforms or specific dress codes. It is a booming and underserved market.
The demand for school uniforms and dress code apparel is huge, growing and largely untapped. Not only are the enrollments in private, parochial, and Christian schools increasing, but also a growing percentage of public schools require uniforms. Why are more schools requiring students to wear uniforms? Because studies show that when a uniform policy is implemented, grades and conduct improve. In addition, school safety is enhanced, teachers' jobs are made easier and parents save money on clothing their children. Although demand is increasing, there are few retail stores available to meet this need. It is extremely difficult for someone outside the industry to gain access to the major manufactures of school apparel. With Educational Outfitters, however, you can draw on our strong established vendor relationships, credit terms and preferential pricing arrangements to help secure your success.
To help ensure your success, we have created a complete package of support services including: site selection assistance, lease negotiations strategies, store lay-out services, operations manual, training, effective inventory ordering systems, field support, reasonable start-up cost, potential attractive return on your investment, fun work environment and a franchise committed to you success.

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in France
Joint ownership of apartment, non married couple
Relationship has ended, but still co-owners of apartment. What is law regarding disposal of property? I want out of it, he does not want to pay me for my part of the ownership. What can I do?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Joint ownership of apartment, non married couple
The information you supplied LawGuru with your question suggests that the law of France would apply. If the apartment you co-own is in France, French law would indeed apply, and you would need an answer from an attorney educated in the system of law in use there, which is quite different from the system of laws know as "Common Law" and used in England and its former colonies as well as American states (except Louisiana) that were never under English rule, such as California.
If California law applied, you would be entitled to file a special kind of lawsuit, called a partition, asking the court to order a sale and equitable division of the net proceeds of sale.
A California court cannot order a buy-out of one co-owner by the other. However, when a partition suit is filed, the reluctant co-owner often comes to the bargaining table rather than defending the suit, so the matter can be settled out of court and before trial.
I doubt that LawGuru has many participating lawyers who know the "Code Napoleon" and other aspects of the Roman-origin "Civil Law" used in France and many other nations of the European Continent. You might ask the Consulate of France in Los Angeles for referrals.
Re: Joint ownership of apartment, non married couple
If the real property is located in France and if you are both on the title of the property, then you can force the sale. Article 815 of the Civil Code provides that no person can be compelled to share ownership. Normally the co-owner will agree to sell because a forced sale at auction will always bring less money. However, it may be necessary to begin the forced sale process before the co-owner agrees to cooperate.

Women in Combat: Issues for Congress, David F. Burrelli, Specialist in Military Manpower Policy. December 13, 2012
recognized for their heroism, two earning Silver Star medals. This has resulted in a renewed interest in Congress, the Administration, and beyond in reviewing and possibly refining or redefining the role of women in the military. The expansion of roles for women in the armed forces has evolved over decades. Women are not precluded from serving in any military unit by law today. (Past laws that precluded women from serving on board military aircraft and ships assigned combat missions were repealed in the early 1990s.) DOD policy restricting women from serving in ground combat units was most recently modified in 1994. Under this policy, women may not be assigned to units, below the brigade level, whose primary mission is to engage in direct combat on the ground. Primarily, this means that women are barred from infantry, artillery, armor, combat engineers, and special operations units of battalion size or smaller. Since there are no laws precluding such service, changes made in assigning women are only controlled under current policies which may be modified by the Administration and DOD.

It doesn't make much sense to keep Proactol Plus. They're reaching capacity. It is easy to deal with anything that provides so much insights as this regards to Proactol Plus. As a matter of fact, I may be a bit short sighted on that because it will occur rain or shine. You might not see at first what Proactol Plus has to do with Proactol Plus. I know that is rather technical but deal with it. I felt as if I was left out of that and this is kind of an unintended consequence. You might have to always have a Proactol Plus on hand for this and other related uses. That helps persons with Proactol Plus.

Ricardo Munoz is one of Chicago's most independent aldermen. He belongs to the City Council's Progressive Caucus, and last tangled with Mayor Daley when he proposed a set of referenda on hiring more police, taxing transactions on LaSalle Street, and renegotiating the parking meter. On Monday, over lunch at a Mexican restaurant on 26th Street, Munoz talked about the prospects for a more powerful city council in post-Daley Chicago.
Q: What are some powers you want to see the City Council exercise that it's not exercising now?
A: More aggressive budgeting review. More aggressive contract review. More aggressive policy review. Right now, we have a living wage that says if you're doing business with the city, you have to pay a living wage, and the city has arbitrarily made the decision that for contractors leasing space in O'Hare and Midway, that doesn't apply to them. I think that anybody who is tending on tables or selling magazines at the airports should not be making minimum wage.
Q: When Mayor Daley's father took office, the first thing he did was take the power to write the budget away from the City Council. Before that, they wrote the budget. How would you like to see the City Council involved in budgeting in the future?
A: I'd like to see them directly involved in the give and take, with the mayor's office and what the budget looks like, setting the priorities, the staffing levels. Take the police department, for example. This mayor gives us an executive budget and proposes that the police department have a certain level of officers, and then we argue, debate, and negotiate a budget, and we vote on it, and the mayor still, through executive authority, decides he doesn't want to fill those 900 positions. If the mayor did this year what we had adopted last year, we'd have 900 more bodies on the street for police officers. Their argument is, "We don't have the money." If we don't have the money, then why did we pass the budget, if state law requires our budget to be balanced?
Q: Are there any candidates you think will become members of the progressive caucus?
A: The one that stands out is Marina Faz-Huppert, in the 45th Ward, because she comes out of labor. She'll probably be a more regular addition to the progressive caucus.
Q: What issues is the progressive caucus going to focus on in the next City Council?
A: You've got the issue of contracts and accountability for contracts, because this mayor, the first thing he did back in 1989 was he removed the City Council's approve and consent role. The other thing is the Board of Ed. In 1995, when the mayor wrestled control for himself of the Board of Education, he took out the City Council committee on education from their approval and consent role, in his appointment of Board of Ed members.
Q: Do you want an elected Board of Ed, or a Board of Ed in which the members have to be approved by the City Council?
A: I think the City Council's approval and consent is necessary. Right now, it's carte blanche to the mayor.
Q: Is there a certain level that you want the contract oversight set at?
A: Prior to Mayor Daley in '89, the level was at $25,000. I think that's a bit onerous, because you've got emergency contracts that are 30, 40 50 thousand dollars. Anything over a million, anything over one year.
Q: Are there certain mayoral candidates who will fight harder to preserve Mayor Daley's prerogatives than others?
A: I think they're all going to fight for that, because that want to maintain it, they want to keep it, but with an active City Council, it's going to be difficult.
Q: I know you've had your differences with Ed Burke, but what would be your response if Rahm Emanuel tried to replace him as head of the Finance Committee?
A: I think Ed Burke is well placed in the City Council, with his history and the relationships that he has there. I don't think even Rahm Emanuel would want to pick that fight.
Q: How many Latino wards are there right now?
A: There's10 by design. Eight are held by Latino representatives, and then 14 and 33, which are Latino but are held by Ed Burke and Dick Mell.
Q: Do you expect more Latino wards in the next remap?
A: There's a natural growth in Latinos going into the Southwest Side and the Northwest Side. Hopefully, there'll be at least 14.

Scores of communities across California and the nation over the last decade have declared themselves "sanctuary cities," a politically potent if largely symbolic designation aimed at expressing solidarity and granting protection for immigrants in this country illegally.
During the Obama years, becoming a sanctuary city came with few consequences because the White House pushed for immigration reform, including a path to citizenship for many here without proper documentation.
But with President-elect Donald Trump vowing to deport millions of immigrants, the role of sanctuary cities is likely to get more complicated and controversial.

Democratic Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska raised just over $1 million in the year's first fundraising quarter and has roughly $2.8 million on hand, his campaign said Tuesday.
The total is a strong haul for the one-term incumbent, in a state where TV ads come relatively cheap. But the report also indicates that Begich is burning through his cash as fast as he can raise it, as conservative outside groups take advantage of those cheap TV ad rates: Begich also had $2.8 million on hand to close 2013.
The Alaska Senate race is one of the GOP's top pickup targets in this year's midterm elections, although Begich is considered the strongest of a quintet of red-state Democratic incumbents running for another term. He narrowly defeated former Republican Sen. Ted Stevens in 2008, winning by fewer than 4,000 votes.
This year, he'll face one of a trio of Republicans trying to win the party's Senate nomination: Former state Attorney General Dan Sullivan, Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell, and 2010 GOP Senate nominee Joe Miller. Most consider Sullivan — who raised $1.2 million in 2013's final fundraising quarter — the Republican Party's early front-runner.

Sam Smith on the lookout for love
Sam Smith has admitted he has been struggling to find love, despite going on plenty of dates.
The Money On My Mind singer told The Sun that he had been on a huge number of dates during a recent trip to the US, but just couldn't find that special someone.
He said of his time in America: "I have been on more dates in the last two weeks than I have in a very long time. They are nice people but all a bit boring.
"Everything is beautiful and perfect but there is still one bit missing, which is love."
Sam performed at Glastonbury over the weekend and despite being given the same time slot as Dolly Parton, he managed to draw a big crowd of fans to watch him on the festival's Other stage.

They may get panned by critics, but Canada's own Theory of a Deadman always manage to leave their mark on the album charts.
The Vancouver band's fourth effort, "The Truth Is...," came in at No. 2 with sales on 8,500, making it their best tally to date, according to Neilsen SoundScan.
Their previous effort, 2008's "Scars and Souvenirs," also came in at No. 2, but sold 6,000 copies.
Firmly planted at No. 1 once again was Adele, whose album "21" scooped up another 15,000, making it four straight weeks at the top of the heap.
The second best entry of the week went to MC Mario's "Summer Anthems" (6,000) at No. 3, Bad Meets Evil's EP ""Hell: The Sequel" inched up one spot to No. 4, and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" tumbled three to No. 5.
Selena Gomez & the Scene's "When the Sun Goes Down" and LMFAO's "Sorry for Party Rocking" both moved down from No. 3 to No. 6, respectively, and Pitbull's "Planet Pit" slipped one to No. 8.
Beyonce's "4" took it down another three notches to No. 9, and Colbie Caillat's "All of You" premiered at No. 10.
In the U.S., Blake Shelton's "Red River Blue" (116,000) cruised into first, followed by Incubus' "If Not Now, When?" in second, Adele in third, Chris Young's "Neon" in fourth, and Beyonce in fifth.

Penguin Audiobooks presents Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. An unabridged recording voiced by MacLeod Andrews and Nick Podehl.
One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, teenager Will Grayson crosses paths with . . . Will Grayson! Two teens with the same name who run in two very different circles suddenly find their lives going in new and unexpected directions.
Culminating in epic turns-of-heart on both of their parts, they team up to produce the most fabulous musical ever to grace the high-school stage. Told in alternating voices from two award-winning, popular names in young-adult fiction - John Green (author of The Fault in Our Stars) and David Levithan (author of Boy Meets Boy) - this unique collaborative novel features a double helping of the heart and humour that has won both authors legions of fans.
** John Green has a huge online presence through his 1.1 million Twitter followers and YouTube channel Vlogbrothers, which has been viewed over 200 million times and has 660,000 subscribers, making it one of the most successful online channels in history.

"Excellent book but perhaps for a younger audience"
Not exactly. It was a well written story but maybe not for me.
The narration was excellent by both readers
Not really
I think I would have given this book 5 stars had a read it 10 or 15 years ago but now I'm a bit older (31) I felt it was just too young for me. To be more precise the characters are teenagers and view the world from this perspective which I found a little immature and annoying at times. Don't get me wrong I love a bit of Glee I just think I personally have grown out of high school musical-type narratives.
"Great Little Book"
This was a lovely story and I love to read a book that covers the LGBT+ world with such a laid back, confident and normalized approach. LGBT+ people have other issues in their lives than just being LGBT+!! They have mental health issues and relationship problems and friendship situations and many many other stories, so its amazing to read one of them.
And David Levithan is one of my favourite authors! xxx
"Good but definitely not JG's finest work"
Yes definitely, it was enjoyable and fun to experience.
The Will's should have met sooner, the story really picked up after their initial encounter. Prior to that point they both felt a little one dimensional; and to be honest one of the Will's is just very unlikable.
I haven't but the narration and singing were extraordinary. Although someone did pronounce "Whatsapp" wrong at one point.
I could imagine it being a teenage drama starring Frank Dillane and Tom Holland.
If you start this book and feel it lacks pace or energy, just persevere until the two protagonists meet, after that point everything just seems to step up a gear.
"relaxing and fun"
funny and exactly what you need to just relax and have fun...plus it is also really thoughtful and makes u smile! the singing parts are the best!
"Great story!"
Amazing! It was a little weird having half of the book read to me by Chucky from the rugrats dad...
"Tiny Cooper, you are utterly fabulous!!"
Narration excellent by both narrators, although obviously Nick Podehl had the harder job of trying to make the listener actually like OWG...the other Will Grayson. The Will Grayson who suffered from depression, but who was full of angst, foul mouthed and rude, ranting against everyone and everything else in the world....and come on, I know teenagers can be challenging but blimey!! I'm also assuming that angsty OWG was written by David Levithan....I do have a couple of his reads lined up, Boy Meets Boy and Two Boys Kissing, but to be honest, I may wait a while before getting stuck in to either of those other books.
Given what I've said above, it's pretty easy to assume that Will Grayson, Jane and Tiny Cooper came from the imagination of John Green. Will and Jane seemed like perfectly normal teenagers....if such 'beings' can ever be described as normal. ;) Tiny was just in a class of his own entirely...I loved him to bits, and Macleod Andrews [whom I'll definitely be listening to more of] did a wonderful job of getting the listener to really interact and bond with these three in particular, but especially Tiny. I got a good Will Grayson and bad Will Grayson vibe throughout the whole story, but really they were just two totally different young people who happened to live in the same city and have the same name.
If I let my imagination to run riot into the future, I'd hope that angsty WG stayed with cool,calm and collected Gideon, the flamboyant WG who turned up to Tiny's musical got together with Tiny and OWG [original Will Grayson] stayed with Jane and everyone lived happily ever after....but probably not, sighs. 4 stars from me.
"Teens at their most angsty"
For teen and teen-friendly listeners, this title really hits the angst on the head. At one point, one of the characters even cries "I didn't ask to be born!"
I liked the way two perspectives alternate throughout the book, as the two stories intertwine. The characters come across as tortured in a way that perhaps only middle-class teens can feel. The melodrama is serious, at least to them, and this draws you into the story. There's also some OTT showtunes-style singing, which is highly amusing.
Recommended for fans of both authors' other work, including The Fault In Our Stars and Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, as well as other similar titles such as Eleanor & Park.
"Download this NOW"
Life affirming stuff. Incredible characters brought to life with fantastic narration.
I haven't listened to or read a piece of fiction before that has created such a vivid image in my mind. I know these characters and I missed them as soon as it finished.
A perfect story about friendships, relationships, love and truth that goes far beyond the teen genre.
"Insightful and sensitive"
I think that this is a smart collaboration between two excellent authors.
I connected with both of the characters and loved how they grew throughout the novel.
The ending is touching in an insightful way, looking at how their relationships develop with their own personal growth. Both characters' eventual acknowledgment of their impact on others is what makes this book.
"One of the best books I've read"
This book can relate to almost anyone and has some of the best quotes . A must read if your a john green fan .

Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges gives go-ahead
Administrators at Lenoir Community College can rest a little easier after receiving word that the college passed its reaccreditation process.
Every 10 years, colleges are reaccredited by a regional body. For LCC, that body is the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.
Deborah Grimes, LCC�s vice president of academic and student services, led the school during the process, which started five years ago. The main components of reaccreditation include a compliance report and forming a Quality Enhancement Plan.
�We had about 35 committees on campus, with chairmen and co-chairmen leading each committee,� she said. �They worked on different things, such as academics, facilities, and finical aid. A lot of people worked on these committees to help us get the written part done.�
Grimes said the compliance portion of accreditation was a self-evaluation for departments where they had to document and show their compliance with standards outlined by SACS.
�SACS will only look at what evidence you have, not what you are about to do,� she said.
Grimes said the school had to meet 99 different standards to maintain accreditation. An offsite committee from SACS met in May 2013 to go over the report sent in by LCC.
The Quality Enhancement Plan was designed to address an issue the college has faced.
Grimes said LCC decided to focus its plan on improving its developmental math program in several ways. The first way was by trying to help students see math is relevant by showing them how it applies to real life. The program includes having students take a survey designed to identify students who need help. Instructors can then refer students to supplemental instruction or to a college achievement coach.
Representatives from SACS visited LCC from Oct. 1 to 3 to evaluate the QEP.
Grimes said she received a phone call on June 17 confirming that the college had been reaffirmed.
�I was very excited,� she said.
Grimes said because the school passed the accreditation process it can now implement the QEP.
�We�ve always had developmental math, it�s just what we do with it now,� she said.
Grimes said the school will continue to review the program over the next five years.
Grimes said employees were kept up to date through a specially designed website, outlining what was going on at any given time in the process.
�It�s a lengthy process and we wanted to keep them informed the whole time,� she said.
LCC President Brantley Briley said he is thankful for Grimes leading the college through the process.
�Every single employee at the college contributed to the process,� he said. �It was a lot of work and a lot of hours went into it. It was a great experience for the college and the employees. There was never any doubt that it would be anything other than a phenomenal reaffirmation.�
�It�s just a culmniation of how we can all work together for a common good, which is what we do every day,� Grimes said.
Briley said it was extremely important for the college to receive its reaccreditation.
�It ensures our student�s transferability to other college and universities,� he said. �It means a great deal regarding finical aid for our students and the college receiving grants from the federal government.�

Prayers for Military may be said by the soldier, or for the soldier. Most of the prayers are in the first person, but may be changed by replacing the word "I" with the name of the soldier.
For example: "Lord, protect me from injury" may be changed by saying," Lord, protect John from injury," etc.
Our research has turned up a powerful Letter of Protection dating from 1724 which was said to safeguard the wearer from injury when worn in a pocket. This letter was reportedly discovered in Europe in 1724, written in gold lettering. It disappeared for several years but then resurfaced in 1791. It was later worn by military troops from Pennsylvania during World War I.
"In the name of God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost: As Christ stopped at the Mount of Olives, all guns shall stop. Whoever carries this letter with him he shall not be damaged through the enemy's guns or weapons, God will give him strength; he may not fear robbers and murders, nor guns, pistols, swords and muskets shall not hurt him through the command of the Angel Michael, in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, God with me.
Whoever has this letter shall not be taken prisoner, nor wounded by the enemy. Amen. As true as it is that Jesus Christ died and ascended to Heaven and suffered on earth he shall not be shot, but shall stand unhurt, and adjure all guns and weapons on earth by the living God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, I pray in the name of Christ's blood that no ball shall hit me, be it gold or silver, but that God in Heaven may deliver me of all sins in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost."
End of letter
Blessed is the hour in which Jesus Christ was born; Blessed is the hour in which Jesus Christ was born; Blessed is the hour in which Jesus Christ was born; Blessed is the hour in which Jesus Christ has arisen from the dead;
Blessed are these three over thy gun, no shot or bullet Shall fly toward me, and neither my skin, nor my hair, Nor my blood, nor my flesh be injured by them, And that no kind of weapon or metal shall do me any harm, So surely as the Mother of God shall not bring forth another son. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, amen.
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. Jesus Christ is the true salvation; Jesus Christ governs, Reigns, defeats and conquers every enemy, visible or invisible;
Jesus, be with me at all times, forever and ever, Upon all roads and ways, upon the water and the land, On the mountain and in the valley, in the house and in the yard,
In the whole world wherever I am, stand, run, ride, or drive; Whether I sleep or wake, eat or drink, There be thou also, Lord Jesus Christ, at all times, late and early, Every hour, every moment; and in all my goings in or out.
Your five holy red wounds, oh Lord Jesus Christ, may they Guard me against all firearms, be they secret or public, That they cannot injure me or do me any harm whatever, In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
May Jesus Christ, with his guardianship and protection, Shield me, [name], always from daily commission of sins, Worldly injuries and injustice, from contempt, from pestilence And other diseases, from fear, torture, and great suffering, From all evil intentions, from false tongues and the words of fools; And that no kind of firearms can inflict any injury to my body, do thou take care of me.
And that no band of thieves, murderers, bombers, or evil spirits Secretly enter my house or premises, nor break in; may the dear Virgin Mary, and all children who are in heaven with God, In eternal joys, protect and guard me against them; And the glory of God the Father shall strengthen me, The wisdom of God the Son shall enlighten me, And the grace of God the Holy Ghost shall empower me From this hour unto all eternity. Amen!
The blessing which came from Heaven at the birth of Christ be with me, [name]. The blessing of God at the creation of the first man be with me; the blessing of Christ on being imprisoned, bound, lashed, crowned so dreadfully and beaten, and dying on the cross, be with me.
The blessing which the Priest spoke over the tender, joyful corpse of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with me; the constancy of the Holy Mary and all the saints of God, of the three holy kings, Casper, Melchior, and Balthasar, be with me; the holy four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, be with me; the Archangels St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael and St. Uriel, be with me; the twelve holy messengers of the Patriarchs and all the Hosts of Heaven, be with me; and the inexpressible number of all the Saints be with me. Amen.
O Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, yea, a King over the whole world, protect me, [name], during this day and night, protect me at all times by thy five holy wounds, that I may not be seized and bound. The Holy Trinity guard me, that no gun, firearm, bullet or lead, shall touch my body; and that they shall be weak like the tears and bloody sweat of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, amen.

UI/UX Design Web Design Visual Design Est. 2012
Once upon a time there was a boy who loved to draw. He drew instead of going outside to play, he drew while he was in class (and got in trouble for it), he drew at the supper table and he drew on things he probably shouldn't have drawn on (and got in trouble for that too). When he grew up he was swept away by the computer age and became an IT guy. But something weighed heavily upon his brow, that love of art and exploring the infinite possibilities of his imagination through drawing. He began crafting desktop wallpaper designs on deviantArt and suddenly he realized, "This is what I want to do! I want to do design!" So he ditched his IT job and went back to school, attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, graduating in March 2012. He chose to follow his own path after school, launching his design studio: Pixelworx Idea Factory. He is now Lead Designer for Omnilert, safeguarding people's lives everyday. That boy, who loved to draw, doodle and spawn multitudes of gray hairs upon the heads of his parents, is me.Contact Me
User experience design is my true passion and love. Having worked in the Information Technology realm for over 18 years, I have an instinct when it comes to how users interact with an app and how they expect it to behave. Providing a positive user experience is vital and job one.
You send people to your web site to show off your product, your service, and your experience - so it has to communicate what needs communicating right away, to capture the attention of the viewer without a bunch of excess eye candy. Those are the kinds of web sites I design.
Communicating ideas and information is what visual design is all about. I love making visual designs that improve a user's experience, that communicates the message clearly, effectively, intuitively in a design that is innovative and attractive.
Mobile apps have to be designed with the eyes of a user - how will they do this, how will they interpret that? It's all about making something aesthetic while maintaining a useable, intuitive, interface while also insuring the value of the app is maintained.

Listen to the Governor
The Dankner affair shows that we should listen to Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer.
Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer has been responsible in the past two years for purchasing tens of billions of dollars in foreign currency to try to prevent the shekel from appreciating against other currencies. Economists are fiercely divided over whether Fischer's policy is wise, and some doubt his power to check the market forces that are driving up the shekel.
There is no certainty that Fischer's policy will succeed. But he certainly has the pluck to make such a move, as well as a broad view of our economic problems - in this case the dire implications of a strong shekel on exporters' profits. He is aware of the bank's responsibility to respond to these problems.
Fischer's broad view was also reflected in his backing for Supervisor of Banks Roni Hizkiyahu's decision to dismiss Dan Dankner from his position as chairman of Bank Hapoalim. Hizkiyahu did not give his reasons for doing so. Fischer insisted on keeping the reasons secret, apparently worried that exposing them might damage Hapoalim's reputation.
Fischer was criticized for this and accused of arbitrary conduct. Bank Hapoalim's controlling shareholder, Shari Arison, even called the governor's behavior "McCarthyism." In retrospect, in view of the suspicions raised against Dankner and his arrest on Wednesday on suspicion of paying bribes, it appears that Fischer's position and his doggedness were justified and served the public interest.
Fischer continued on this tack this week in daring to speak out about two complex public issues. "Senior managers' wages are too high, this problem must be dealt with urgently," he said, presenting the Bank of Israel's annual report. But he ignored the excessive wage problem at the institution he heads.
The report outlines the bank's position on another problematic issue - the economy's extreme centralization. This means that huge power is held by a few tycoons who control many companies, including financial firms.
Fischer did not hesitate to make harsh statements about Israel's large holding companies. He said they are too big and endanger Israel's economic stability. He hinted at improper connections between those companies and the banks, and among the corporations themselves, implying that these giant corporations are damaging competition.
He said that some of those corporations are managed based on the whims of individuals who have no worthy heirs. Fischer concluded that action must be taken to restrict the large companies' activities and at least prevent them from controlling banks and insurance firms.
Both these issues - senior managers' wages and Israeli tycoons' status - are out of the Bank of Israel's jurisdiction.
But Fischer found that these issues are clouding Israel's economy, so he thought it his duty to intervene and express his opinion publicly. The Dankner affair shows that we should listen to the governor.

End-of-practice showdowns at Calgary Flames practices are supposed to bring some levity to any situation.
Normally, there are cheers when goals go in. The ribbing and banter between sides -- the club is split in two to make it a friendly competition -- brings out some great lines and plenty of laughs and guffaws.
Not yesterday.
Not on the heels of Thursday night's 6-0 season-opening-game thumping at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks.
The Flames practice in preparation for tonight's home opener was all business.
And during the showdown to end the session, there was no joy and no laughs.
You could hear a pin hit the Saddledome ice.
"Guys aren't too happy," said left-winger Rene Bourque. "We did a lot of battle drills because we lost a lot of battles for loose pucks and got outworked pretty much the whole game. What we wanted to do was get that battle back in us, get that fight back in us."
The Flames didn't show much fight in Vancouver in the most lopsided season-opening loss in franchise history.
For the first 15 minutes or so, the Flames were by far the better team. But after failing to convert on a litany of golden scoring chances and falling behind late in the opening frame, it became an old-fashioned textbook drubbing.
And they're well aware of the reaction from the Flames faithful -- how that one loss is not being taken lightly.
"I grew up in Toronto, man. I was expecting this," said Michael Cammalleri of the city's sombre tone towards the club. "I remember being that fan, being that kid, who'd be doing the same thing every game.
"I think we're pretty excited to get back at it."
Tonight, this year's Flames edition lift the curtain at the Saddledome against a Canucks squad many pundits pegged to struggle to make the playoffs but gave the Flames a serious whipping Thursday.
Could there be a feeling of revenge and redemption in the Flames dressing room when the puck drops?
"We're in the business of using whatever we can to prepare for the next game, so I think those kind of sentiments we're going to use to our advantage," Cammalleri said. "We're going to say to ourselves, 'This is the wake-up call we needed' and move forward with that."
Sounds good, but it's obvious after the drubbing in Vancouver this year's team will need more than an emotional jolt.
The Canucks may be the younger team but showed more resiliency by withstanding the Flames' early edge in play and playing rope-a-dope.
Meanwhile, the Flames were horrible defensively.
They only surrendered 23 shots on goal, but many were high-quality scoring chances -- a problem that can't simply be pinned on the defence corps, which will get a boost with Robyn Regehr's return after missing the game for the birth of his son.
"I thought the defence in a lot of situations were in the right position. The forwards weren't coming back to help them," said Flames head coach Mike Keenan. "Those mistakes defensively were, for the most part, responsibility of the forwards, not the defencemen."
Offensively, the Flames weren't any better. They did generate a string of quality chances in the early going, but they couldn't solve Canucks netminder Roberto Luongo, who slammed the door in the team's collective faces.
Flames captain Jarome Iginla is of the belief he and his teammates didn't create enough havoc for the Canucks star netminder.
"There are a few rebounds you have to be hungry for," Iginla said. "It's not like they're big, huge rebounds everywhere, but they're in the crease. We had a few last game we didn't dig hard enough for and weren't hard enough getting there."
That part of the game has more to do with determination than to do with talent, so watch for a vengeful Flames team that knows the importance of bouncing back.
"It's a built-in expectation you would have with a group like this," Keenan stated. "You may not have the same expectation if we were a real young group, but this group, I would suspect, has enough professional pride to respond and be prepared -- at least better than (Thursday)."
Iginla echoed that sentiment.
"It doesn't feel good today, but we realize it is one game," said the captain. "We have to get better, and we will get better. It's nice to play them again, too. We don't have to wait a long time to be a lot better against them."

Chucky Will Be Back For Round 7One of the hardest working dolls in show business, the Good Guy doll Chucky has been murdering people since 1988, in a film series that has gone from legitimately frightfest to tongue-in-cheek horror comedy back to tense slasher, all while barely hanging onto any central canon. This year's Curse of Chucky proved that director/creator Don Mancini could still pull off some real scares, and those who wondered what happened after that film will be pleased to know Chucky's reign of terror still isn't over. Mancini took to Twitter to announce there will indeed be a seventh film.
This is a truly polarizing franchise, and the strong words of fans and naysayers will no doubt keep it in the cultural zeitgeist for decades to come. And if the actual creator thinks that there are more stories to come from this killer doll, I'm on board for it. But I'll need those stories to be a little smarter if at all possible. I'm saying this loudly just in case there's a certain someone hiding behind the chair I'm sitting in, waiting to slash my ankles.
Take a peek at the Curse of Chucky trailer below.

A Chicago man who has been missing since mid-September turned up dead in his own garage, Thursday.
The decomposing body of Stephen Colvin, 57, was found in the trunk of his car in the garage behind his home on the 7700 block of South Martin Luther King Drive, according to the Chicago Breaking News Center.
Colvin was found with a knife under his hand and with his car keys and his wallet but not his phone. The car in which he was discovered has not been moved for some time. Colvin was last seen on Sept. 18.
Investigators are not sure of the cause of death, and are unsure why an earlier search passed over the trunk. An autopsy is scheduled for later Friday morning.

While acknowledging that his company has extraordinary power and influence over the Web, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt yesterday promised the Senate that Google wouldn't be evil.
During his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday Schmidt acknowledged that the past behavior of tech behemoths gave lawmakers ample reason to suspect Google might be using its extraordinary market power to stifle competition. But he tried to assure lawmakers that this wasn't the case because Google had no desire to repeat the mistakes of past tech giants.
BACKGROUND: Report: U.S. FTC preparing to serve subpoenas to Google
"Twenty years ago, a large technology firm was setting the world on fire," said Schmidt in a thinly veiled reference to Microsoft. "Its software was on nearly every computer. Its name was synonymous with innovation. But that company lost sight of what mattered ... in the years since, many of us in Silicon Valley have absorbed the lessons of that era."
At issue in yesterday's hearing was whether Google used its disproportionate power in the search engine space to favor its own secondary services in search results over those of its competitors. Wisconsin Democrat Herbert Kohl, for instance, quoted Google Vice President Marissa Mayer as saying that Google favored its own Google Finance search results whenever users search for stock market quotes on publicly traded companies. Schmidt responded that Google's goal was to take out extra steps from users' search, so if they entered "Microsoft stock" into the search engine the first result would be a chart featuring the latest quote from Microsoft's share price. Similarly, when someone types an address into the search engine they are first given a map provided by Google Maps rather than a link to a competing map site.
Kohl then asked Schmidt if the public could really trust a self-interested company to resist the temptation to use its incredible market power to heavily tilt the playing field in favor of its own products at the expense of others.
"I'm not sure Google is a rational business trying to maximize its own profits," Schmidt responded, and emphasized that the company is most focused on providing the best answers for consumers through both traditional 10-link search engine results and through its own secondary services.
Utah Republican Mike Lee also pressed Schmidt on whether his company "cooks" search results for its own benefit by citing an independent study showing that Google Shopping persistently ranked third in searches for products while rival shopping sites vary much more widely in where they pop up in product searches.
"You're always third every time, how do you explain that?" asked Lee. "When I see you magically coming up third every time ... you've cooked it so you're always third."
Schmidt assured Lee that the company hadn't "cooked" anything and said that he wasn't aware of any "strange boosts or biases" that Google gives to its own services.
Minnesota Democrat Al Franken said that scrutinizing Google's search practices was particularly important since the search engine had also come to dominate the mobile market as the default search engine on the Apple iPhone and on all of its own Android-based mobile devices. He also said that while he appreciated the way that Google "utterly transformed the way we use information," the company's "unprecedented growth is one of the reasons we need to pay attention to what you're doing."
Needless to say, rival tech players invited to testify during a subsequent panel at the hearing were not buying Schmidt's denials that his company was favoring its own results over others. Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman, for instance, accused Google of trying "to send consumers to the most profitable sites on the Web: their own." And Thomas Barnett, an outside counsel for Expedia, said that any suggestion that Google would never take advantage of its own market position was absurd on its face.
"Google won't admit to reality," he said. "Google has monopoly power."
The Federal Trade Commission this past summer opened up an antitrust investigation to learn if Google was using its market power to drive Web traffic to its own sites. Schmidt acknowledged the FTC's investigation during his testimony today and said that the commission's inquiry would eventually "reveal an enthusiastic company filled with people who believe we have only just scratched the surface of what's possible."

Same thing happened with Janu in Survivor: Palau. She quit at F8 and came back on the jury at the next TC.
Yep, quitters should not qualify to elect a Survivor. How meaningful is it to be elected the winner by a bunch of quitters?Originally Posted by Lolli;4074487;
Okay, $1,000,000 worth of meaningful, but still.
I'm Paula.
My thought exactly! I think quitting equals disqualification. I would not want them on the jury - they didn't earn it.Originally Posted by PWS;4074478;
Sigh. I lasted all of a couple months without reading spoilers, but I couldn't help myself anymore. I had to know about when a few of them would be gone.
Very upset about final 3. I hope I didn't just ruin my season.
Quitters-that is going to make me want to throw something at my t.v. because it's LAME. Be a big boy or girl and get voted out with class.
Well, if the merge is next week don't quite see this happening, unless they merge after TC....Originally Posted by MisterSSS;4056050;
I dont think the merge is next week. Isnt there a tribe shuffle? I bet they mix old/new and form two separate tribes for a while before the actual merge.Originally Posted by PWS;4079257;
Ah, right, shuffle, not merge, big difference!Originally Posted by lilcountriegal;4079259;
The tribe swap is next week. And according to missyae,Click to see Spoiler:there is a double boot after next week's episode
Am I missing the boot order spoilers somewhere? I see bits and pieces here, but is there a full boot order or episode info spoiler somewhere on here that I've missed?Originally Posted by JohnnyK;4079301;

Citing a report by an American lady, the U.S. Embassy has issued a warning against hiking alone in Nepal where several foreign women have been attacked or are missing.
American Lena Sessions, 23, was hiking in Langtang National Park Dec. 23 when a local man wearing a black mask approached her with a knife, USA Today reported Wednesday.
"Either I (sexually assault) you or I kill you," Sessions said the man threatened her.
Though she had not disclosed anything about the man in the report, the news report said Sessions made an escape, but other women haven't been as lucky.
"Foreigners have also gone missing while trekking alone," the State Department Web site says.
In 2006, a French woman disappeared in Shivapuri-Nagarjun National Park and six weeks later, a German woman, Sabine Gruneklee disappeared in the same area. Gruneklee's body was later found. In the same year, German Kristina Kovacevic disappeared in northern Nepal — her body was later found in a ravine.
The family of American Aubrey Sacco, 23, is still searching for her after she vanished in April 2010 in Langtang National Park.
"We don't know that she's been murdered," Aubrey's mother Connie Sacco said. "We don't feel that she has. But we're on our own — there's no evidence."
Sessions told USA Today she immediately notified authorities at the U.S. Embassy in Nepal about her attack.
"My hope is that, out of this, the national park will make an effort to be realistic about the situation in the park," Sessions said. "I might have made some different decisions had I known."

The Transit Connect didn't make the cut this time, though. One reason, according to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, was that Ford refused to crash test the Transit connect with all the taxi equipment, including the plastic partition separating the driver and passengers, in place.
Nissan agreed to that and even proposed special passenger airbags for its vehicle.
A Ford Motor Co. spokesman said the automaker had, in fact, offered to work with a "qualified upfitter" -- meaning a company that modifies cars for taxi cab or other uses -- to create a crash-ready Transit Connect van.

What was '90s television without Boy Meets World? It's been 15 years since Cory, Topanga, Shawn, and all the other characters you laughed, cried, and grew up with have been on the air, yet the show remains a favourite- enough so that the Disney Channel even created the spin-off Girl Meets World last year, bringing most of the storylines (even Shawn's girlfriend, Angela!) back to life. But what else have the beloved cast members been up to? Find out, ahead.

Twitter has notified developers who build on the Twitter platform that they can't emulate the timeline function of Twitter since they would then resemble Twitter itself too closely. This comes after several third party Twitter apps being cut off from Twitter (essentially killing those apps) on Friday over what it said were concerns regarding user privacy and third party developers gaining access to the content of users' tweets.
It used to be that Twitter was more a platform than a business. People used a variety of third party apps to watch their Twitter feed. Twitter didn't even have an official app for mobile devices.
But now they do. And now Twitter says it wants users to use Twitter's own products. It says it won't approve any new third party clients and will hold the existing ones to high standards.
It's a sign of trying to make money off what they created but you wonder how much innovation will be strangled as a result.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — New Illinois coach John Groce (GROHS) says he hasn't decided yet how he will deal with the loss of 7-1 center Meyers Leonard to the NBA draft.Comment on this story
Groce was hired just last week from Ohio to replace Bruce Weber. Leonard announced Monday that he will skip his last two seasons of college to turn pro.
Groce says he doesn't want to add a player to his roster just to plug a hole.
The new head coach said he talked with Leonard quite a bit before the center announced his decision. Groce said he knew he had little chance to keep Leonard, who averaged 13.6 points and was third in the Big Ten with 8.2 rebounds a game. His 1.9 blocked shots a game led the conference.

MEMPHIS, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Wally Szczerbiak led seven Boston players in double figures Friday night as the Celtics pulled away in the second half to down Memphis, 128-119.
Szczerbiak scored 26 points, Tony Allen had 19 and Ryan Gomes, Brian Scalabrine and Delonte West all had 16 for Boston, which shot a sizzling 58 percent from the field.
Memphis was led by Mike Miller and Pau Gasol with 24 points each.
The game was tied at halftime, but Boston opened as much as a 12-point advantage in the third.
Memphis fell to 2-2 since Tony Barone became the team's interim coach.
