An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Hebrides islands. It comes from the Gaelic Mac Alasdair "son of Alasdair," which correlates to the personal name Alexander.
MacAlasdair Early Origins
Argyllshire (Gaelic erra Ghaidheal), the region of western Scotland corresponding roughly with the ancient Kingdom of Dál Riata, in the Strathclyde region of Scotland, now part of the Council Area of Argyll and Bute, where Alasdair Mòr was listed on record in 1253, as witnessing a charter by his brother, Aonghas Mór a Íle, to the Paisley Abbey.
MacAlasdair Spelling Variations
MacAlasdair Spelling Variations
Spelling variations are a very common occurrence in records of early Scottish names. They result from the repeated and inaccurate translations that many names went through in the course of various English occupations of Scotland. MacAlasdair has been spelled MacAlister, MacAllister, MacAllaster, MacAllestair, MacAllester, MacAllister and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Numerous Scottish settlers settled along the east coast of the colonies that would become the United States and Canada. Others traveled to the open country of the west. At the time of the American War of Independence, some remained in the United States, while those who remained loyal to the crown went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The highland games and Clan societies that sprang up across North America in the 20th century have helped many Scots to recover parts of their lost traditions. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first MacAlasdairs to arrive in North America: Charles MacAlister settled in Philadelphia in 1808; Daniel, David, Denis, James, John, Robert, Thomas and William MacAlister all arrived in Philadelphia between 1830 and 1870..
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Per mare per terras
Motto Translation: By sea and by land.

Calcutta, Sept. 24: Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) expects the upturn in the steel industry to help it break even in the current financial year after reporting losses for the last three years consecutively.
SAIL chairman Arvind Pande, while addressing the companys 30th annual general meeting today, said, The topline gains in the first half of the current fiscal due to high performance in every sphere will lead to a much improved bottomline. This is a direct fallout of the systematic reorganisation being implemented at SAIL.
The chairman added that intensive cost reduction, downsizing of manpower, greater market orientation and stricter financial management have brought about visible changes in the organisational fabric.
Financial prudence is now centre-stage with focus on customer satisfaction, he added.
Pande, who is to retire this month, said the company has now entered a phase where it is generating surplus. SAIL has to build further on the strong foundation that has been created for generation of wealth once the restructuring efforts are brought to a logical end, he said.
The chairman-designate, V.S. Jain said the cost cutting measures, modernisation benefit, reduction in manpower along with favourable market conditions have placed the company on a strong foot.
The company will be able to make a profit by the fourth quarter, he said adding that debt reduction by Rs 6000-7000 crore in the last five years and the restructuring exercise, have considerably reduced the interest burden of the company.
SAIL, which already has much of its networth eroded due to losses in the three previous fiscals, expects to end the first half of the current fiscal with sales of half a million tonnes more steel than in the corresponding period last year.
The higher sales have been aided by over 8 per cent growth and a healthy jump in price realisations.
The company is also expected to make cash profit in the first half of the current fiscal in view of the buoyancy in the steel market and pick up in the export front.

Good Morning;
I start the second cylcle of treatment this morning at 0800. Blood work then Cladribine, Velcade and Rituxin. I took 20 Mg of Dexamethason a couple of hours ago. I work third shift and am at work now. It's just as well, sleep is not an option. Wikipedia on Dex says Michael Cox wrote The Meaning of Night while under the influence of Dex. Cox says Dex gave him "formidible energy while quelling my creative doubts." It makes me want to run. I believe I will find a copy for Chemo reading.
I received an Email offer from a viatical company last week. That was rather disconcerting. I wonder how they got my information. My prognosis is good enough that I doubt they would consider me a "good" risk. I can see how making a deal like that may be beneficial, depending on circumstances. Still...don't appreciate being solicited.
I have been reading all the threads since joining here. I have benefitted more than I could have imagined by your collective experiences, advice and goodwill. And Love.... There is a Lotta Love here. Wish all the best.

Please post and let us know how your treatment went this morning. If you somehow go
I think it is a bit scary getting an email offering you their treatment.
Stay positive. Yes, I think this site is so full of love.

Hi Chuck,
Feb 16, 2012 - 3:47 am
Thought I posted here last night but it disappeared. Treatment went fine. Made it home and slept well. I feel very fortunate that at least so far I have not had much trouble with my treatments. That nulastra still gives me problems for a couple of days but that will be this week-end and thanks to Ambien I will sleep through most of it. Thanks for all the good positive input here, Wish Well to all.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Renny Little
Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA
If you are looking for an organization dedicated to environmental education for students of all ages, look no further than the 501(c)(3) Chewonki Foundation in Wiscasset, Maine. It will meet your highest expectations (as it has mine), whether your interest is in a summer camp for boys or girls on a 400n acre Roger Tory Peterson Sanctuary on the Maine coast, or to study up-to-date methods to conserve energy. Programs, led by well trained knowledgeable leaders, stress community building and foundation owned properties throughout Maine offer many ecological habitats for study. They are reached by hikes, boats and kayaks.
It has been a pleasure to be associated with Chewonki for over over 70 years as a camper, counselor, board member and advisor. My time there led to advanced degrees and professional positions in environmental education.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I am very pleased with the Foundation as it is presently run by a dedicated Board and staff.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of advisors?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Thanks for being our 200th reviewer Renny!

She's a Maverick, and she's mad.
The New York Times reported Saturday that Terrellita Maverick is upset that Sen. John McCain and his campaign have appropriated the family name.
McCain "is in no way a maverick, in uppercase or lowercase," Maverick told the Times.
"I'm just enraged that John McCain calls himself a maverick," she continued. "It's just incredible - the nerve! - to suggest that he's not part of the Republican herd."
Her strong words may have been prompted by the vice presidential debate Thursday between Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican McCain's running mate, and Sen. Joe Biden, who appears on the Democratic ticket with presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.
During the debate, Palin referred to herself or McCain six times as mavericks.
"I've joined this team that is a team of mavericks with John McCain," Palin said in her first use of the term.
Three paragraphs later, she referred to McCain as "the maverick from the Senate." Later, McCain became the "consummate maverick."
All these mavericks applied to McCain irritated Terrellita Maverick, 82, a lifelong Democrat who lives in San Antonio and is a board member emeritus of the San Antonio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. She is also the keeper of the Maverick flame, as her great grandfather, Samuel August Maverick, is responsible for the use of the word "maverick" to mean someone who is independent, unhampered by party label or custom.
It all began when Maverick, a Texas land baron in the 19th century, refused to brand his cattle.
He reportedly did this because he didn't want to hurt them or, some say, because he might have been able to claim any unbranded cattle as his own.
Regardless, unbranded cattle became known as "mavericks" and the term came to apply metaphorically to unbranded people, as well.
Terrellita Maverick's father, Fontaine Maury Maverick, also a Democrat, served in the U.S. Congress from 1935 to 1939. Among other contributions, he coined the word "gobbledygook." He later was elected mayor of San Antonio for one term.
Her brother, who was known as Maury Jr., served three terms in the Texas House of Representatives as a Democrat. A lawyer, he was a champion of civil rights and served as an attorney for the ACLU.
Later in his life, he moved from the law to journalism, writing a weekly column for the San Antonio Express-News.
At the time of his death, the opinionated and left-of-center Maverick drew high praise from syndicated columnist Molly Ivins.
"His breadth of knowledge was just gorgeous," said Ivins, who died in January 2007. "What a great hero. What a great curmudgeon. What a perfect maverick."
During the vice-presidential debate Biden made it clear that he, too, does not believe McCain is a perfect maverick.
In pointing this out, he used the word "maverick" nine times, easily outpacing Palin's six.
Consequently, it may be Biden who brought more joy or sorrow to those playing the maverick drinking game at home during the debate, taking a swig of alcohol every time someone said "maverick."
The transcript of the debate does show that the candidates repeated other words in addition to "maverick" to hammer home ideas.
Palin said "track record" 14 times, generally underscoring McCain's experience.
Biden employed the term "middle class" 12 times in stressing economic issues and concerns.

John McCain's brand of maverick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tR3voTMGDY
John McCain has every right to use the word maverick. He is not using it as a surname. Looks
like the Maverick family is a little off base. If they don't like him go to the polls and vote against him.
It's silly to make a big deal out of his use of the word maverick-this is America..
McCain is no Maverick or maverick.
He thinks that by repeating the term enough that people will be duped into thinking that he is somehow independent or above partisan politics.
The reality is that for issue that matters, he has consistantly voted along with G. Bush and the republican platform.
Besmirching the good Maverick name will not make him independent.
Maybe you are right-but I hope you do alot of thinking about your vote. Something is just not right about Obama. Too many unusual past friends. Will not salute the American Flag and will not rest his hand on the bible——-.
If he should win, put a zipper on the pocket that holds your wallet.

This was the same year as the Link images? I'm kind of surprised. This really looks like an improvement! Then again, it still has this faded look to it. It's still worth looking at. I guess this character was one you never had appear in a cartoon.
Then again, you haven't submitted anything here that isn't sprite. Is this character supposed to be this way? Or did the accident turn him into an anthropomorphic cat? Then again, it could just be a costume he wears, like Batman. The design is just wonderful.

The Georgian Ministry of Defence accuses Russia of shooting down an unmanned plane over Abkhazia. David Nairashvili, head of Georgia's air defence forces, said the Georgian spy plane was shot down by a Russian MiG-29.
Georgia's Minister for Reintegration, Temur Yakobashvili, warned that Georgian forces can retake Abkhazia in three hours. He reiterated, however, that Tbilisi does not intend to resolve the conflict with Abkhazia by military means.

Hana Financial, Inc. v. Hana Bank – What You Need to Know
Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court held that whether two trademarks may be tacked for purposes of determining priority is a question for the jury, because tacking is a factual inquiry based on the perspective of a consumer.
Background on the Case
Hana Financial sued Hana Bank for infringing the "Hana Financial" mark. Hana Bank denied infringement by claiming it had priority based on its earlier and continuous use of the mark "Hana Overseas Korean Club." Although Hana Bank later operated under the marks "Hana World Center" and "Hana Bank," it argued that it still had priority because the two later marks created the same, continuing commercial impression as the earlier mark such that the tacking doctrine applies. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Hana Bank based on tacking. The Ninth Circuit affirmed. The Supreme Court granted certiorari on the issue of whether trademark tacking should be determined by a jury and affirmed the Ninth Circuit's decision.
The Supreme Court began by stating the general rule that when the question is how an ordinary person or community would make an assessment, a jury is generally the decision maker. Tacking is just such an issue because the relevant question is whether the two marks create the same, continuing commercial impression so that consumers consider both as the same mark. Thus, in a case where a jury trial has been requested and the facts do not warrant entry of a summary judgment or judgment as a matter of law, tacking should be decided by a jury.
The Supreme Court then addressed Hana Financial's four arguments in turn. First, the Supreme Court observed the application of a legal standard by a jury is common, and tacking is no different than any other mixed question of law and fact. Carefully crafted jury instructions may address concerns about improper applications of legal standards by a jury. Second, the Supreme Court did not agree that a tacking determination will create new law to warrant reserving the issue for judges any more than a jury verdict in a tort, contract, or criminal case would. Third, the Supreme Court did not agree the predictability required for a functioning trademark system would be absent if tacking were decided by juries. The Supreme Court stated that juries have often made dispositive applications of legal standards to facts in tort, contract, and criminal cases, and there is no reason to treat trademark tacking differently. Finally, regarding the argument that judges have historically resolved tacking disputes, the Supreme Court determined Hana Financial had pointed to cases arising in the context of bench trials and summary judgments, but these cases did not change the Court's conclusion that, when a jury is empaneled and when the facts warrant neither summary judgment nor judgment as a matter of law, tacking is a question for the jury.
Fox Broadcasting Co. v. Dish Network LLC – What You Need to Know
Yesterday, the District Court for the Central District of California held that the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in ABC, Inc. v. Aereo, 134 S. Ct. 2498 (2014), does not preclude users from using Dish Network's DVR features to record preset blocks of prime-time programming, remove commercials, and watch recorded shows on another device when the users have legitimate access to such programming content.
Background on the Case
Fox initially brought copyright infringement and breach of contract claims against Dish over four key features in Dish's Hopper DVR: (1) "Dish Anywhere" technology, which allows users to access the DVR remotely, on computers and mobile devices, programming recorded on their DVRs; (2) "Primetime Anytime" technology, which allows users to record primetime programming shown on any of the four major broadcast networks; (3) "AutoHop" technology, which allows users to automatically skip commercials while playing back recorded shows; and (4) "Hopper Transfer" technology, which allows users to copy recordings on their DVR to a mobile device, to be later transferred and played-back on another device.
Fox and Dish both filed motions for summary judgment, with Fox urging the district court to consider the Supreme Court's recent Aereo decision as new precedent on the copyright infringement claims, making Dish's streaming technologies illegal. That decision held Aereo's transmission of television content to subscribers to be unauthorized "public performance" of copyrighted works.
The district court identified key differences between the Aereo and Dish services: Dish's service was not an unauthorized "public performance," and Dish and its users already have a legal right to possess the material. In particular, Dish had a license to transmit the programming to users via satellite, and that programming could only be accessed by subscribers through their own home DVRs. Dish did not receive programs publically released over the air and then carry those programs by private channels to additional viewers in the same sense that Aereo did.
The district court ruled that Dish did not engage in direct or secondary copyright infringement, because Dish had not engaged in volitional conduct needed for direct liability. It was the subscribers, not Dish, who selected, made, and transferred content using Dish's equipment. In addition, Dish was not liable for secondary infringement, as the subscribers either had rightful possession to the content (for the "Dish Anywhere" feature) or were engaging in fair use (for the "Primetime Anytime," "AutoHop," and "Hopper Transfer" features).
The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Dish for the copyright infringement claims, but left open Fox's breach of contract claims relating to "Dish Anywhere" and found Dish liable on certain claims relating to copies made by Dish for quality assurance.

Q: What is 'The 300′ all about?
A: That's a long answer, but in a nutshell, 'The 300′ represents my core fanbase who have been following what I do these last few years. While the majority are financial supporters who help keep me solvent, many volunteer their time to help make my ambitious projects a reality. This includes editors, writers, artists, web developers, and organizers.
Think of 'The 300' as a modern equivalent of patronage during the historical period known as 'The Renaissance'. When the middle class started emerging in Florence, Italy in the 15th century, these wealthy patrons would pay artists full time for unique works of art. It's the same basic idea, except I ask for a lot less from a much larger pool of people, thanks largely to the Internet.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: Anything you want, so long as it's either a monthly plan or a yearly one. That way, I know that members are still active (hey, this will fill up pretty quickly, so I do want to make space available if there's enough demand).
Q: Why limit the number to 300?
A: There are many reasons, the most important being that groups which get too large have a tendency to get out of control. I would rather a small and dedicated group than a large, ambivalent one. It avoids stagnation: because we encourage members to leave if they no longer feel excited about membership, the group remains filled with enthusiastic members.
Q: What are some of the benefits?
A: Usually that question is a sign that you might not understand the concept, but there are actual benefits to membership. The most obvious is that patrons get to chat in the forums, and the entire website is generally geared towards their enjoyment. They also get a private messaging system, and only they can earn "achievement" points and declare themselves true fans.
Q: Why are members encouraged to pick a number?
A: I always felt numbers were fairly arbitrary, and they might even become a bit of a problem in creating a false hierarchy based on a person's number. So I decided instead to overcome this problem by allowing people the opportunity to pick numbers which would mean something to them. While it's true it's being limited to numbers between 1 and 300, I never said they had to be whole numbers or even rational numbers, so there's luckily an infinite amount of choice.
Q: This sounds a bit like a cult to me
A: That's not a question, but you're right, it could be viewed that way. Honestly, I don't fear the label because I think we define the term too narrowly. 'Cults' are nothing more than gatherings of like-minded people. Sometimes they converge around something innocent, like science fiction fantasy. Sometimes it's harmful and destructive. It depends more on the purpose of your group. From the get-go, the whole purpose of this exercise is to form the least harmful cult in the world, a sort of in-joke for what is essentially a pretty simple economic model (tithing works great with churches, but I don't think they do anything of value).
Q: How do I join up?
A: Assuming there's enough room, it's as simple as emailing me and setting up your personal subscription so you can decide how much it costs for you to be a monthly member.
Q: I'm already a hard-core member of The Good Atheist. Does that mean I'm in the 300?
A: Not necessarily. Some hard-core memberships have expired, and only people on the monthly (or yearly) payment plan are eligible. If you are already a hard-core and want your member number, email me and I will set your account up right away on the member-only site. You'll be able to leave comments in forums (more to come later) and we invite all members to introduce themselves.

The Iola Daily Register, Wednesday, Oct. 8, 1913, Pg. 8.
A Brave Soldier, A Good
Passes in Honor in Answer
the Silent Messenger.
Readers of the Register who have noted from time to time during the past few days, the report of his progressing illness, will not be surprised although very many of them will be pained, to learn of the death of Martin L. Decker, which occurred at his home, 211 N. Sycamore street, Iola, Kansas, at 5:45 this morning. The end came after several hours of unconsciousness and in the presence of all the surviving members of the family, except a daughter, Mrs. Ellen Balliet, of New York City, and a son, Mr. Grant Decker, of Leavenworth county, who were unable to be here. The funeral services will be held at the Baptist church tomorrow (October 9) at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and will be conducted by Rev. Mrs. Thorpe, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows.
Martin L. Decker was born in Wallertheim, Darmstadt, Empire of Germany, December 8, 1837. He was born in the same house with his father, John A. Decker, and with his grandfather. Both father and grandfather were wine growers, cultivating large farms planted to vineyards. John Decker was married to Philipina Weinheimer and Martin Luther was the third of eleven children. He emigrated to the United States in 1853 and on his sixteenth birthday, arrived in LaSalle county, Illinois. He crossed the Atlantic in the sailer Powhattan, bound from Rotterdam to New York, fifty-two days at sea. Young Decker stopped on a farm near Mendota, Illinois, and worked for wages three years. In 1856, in company with an uncle, he emigrated to Iowa, and then to Minnesota where at Austin he ran a sawmill until 1858. While in the mill he invented a machine for sawing eve troughs, probably the first one in existence, but which he never patented.
Mr. Decker entered Kansas in 1858 and preempted a piece of land near Goodrich, Linn county. In 1859, having sold his claim, he crossed the line into Allen county and worked on a farm on the Osage for Johnston Mann. In the spring of 1861 he enlisted in Company C, Third Kansas Cavalry, Colonel Montgomery. In 1862 the regiment was disorganized and Company C was transferred to the Ninth Cavalry. In its periods of marching and counter marching this regiment visited Ft. Riley, Kansas; Ft. Gibson, Indian Territory; Kansas City, Trading Post, Kansas; Lawrence, Kansas; Little Rock, Fort Smith, Duvall's Bluff and campaigned on the White and Mississippi rivers. He was discharged from the service November 23, 1864, at Leavenworth, Kansas, having done his Whole Duty toward the flag of his adopted country.
December 8, 1864 Mr. Decker was married at Leavenworth City to Grace A. Thomas, and to them were born twelve children. After his marriage he farmed in Allen and Bourbon counties until the fall of 1867 when he removed to Leavenworth county, residing near Potter where he was a farmer and fruit grower until 1889. In that year he returned to Allen County and purchased the Mann farm in Osage township, two and one half miles east of Bayard. He resided upon this tract three years, then located to the town of Elsmore and engaged with a son in merchandising. After three years residence in Elsmore he removed to Iola to assume duties of county treasurer, to which he had been elected in 1895. His administration of this office was so satisfactory that he was re-elected and served a second term. He then retired from active life and his time since then has been spent quietly at his home in Iola, except for a brief visit with one or the other of his children. Around his bedside when the end came were gathered his sons, M. L. Decker, Jr., of Leavenworth county; I. Decker, of Osage township; Henry Decker, of Bristow, Colorado; Walter and John Decker, of Collinsville, and his daughters, Mrs. Mary Glassell and Mrs. Elsie Freeman, of Iola, who, with their aged mother, will have the sympathy of all their friends.

The piano shuts down like a box. Mark's been on tour with Jack Johnson. He just got back and is now going to produce some music - for which this piano will work well. If you don't know mark use Google. He keyboarded for the Beastie Boys, wrote many of their best songs with them too, has solo albums, and some cool music videos.
This is neat, he's recording the sound with his cell phone to find out if the tuning is okay. He also said that if you punch in 123456789 - it's a C scale. Is that true?

So far I have had mixed emotions and they have not stopped. At first it was the excitement of a new OS. The weather app has so cool attributes to the background and animations. Most of the menu interaction is the same with new skins on them. So far there are a few things I cannot find anymore that I used quite often. So now I feel like I would rather have the old OS back.
I'm sure I will get used to it and all will be back to normal in no time.

I know. It is hard to get used to it. I wanted mine back, and still sometimes feel that I still do. I even investigated the possibility. Thanks for comment.

FAMU's Abreu Competing in World Championships
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., July 13, 2017 – Florida A&M University sophomore outside hitter Nicole Abreu is participating with the Peruvian National Team in the Under 20 Women's Volleyball World Championships in Cordoba, Mexico.
The Peruvian National team will open the Championships on Friday against China at 2 p.m. Eastern Time. In the four-team pool with Peru and China, are Poland and defending champion Dominican Republic.
Abreu, a 6-0 outside from Lima, Peru, was 2016 MEAC Rookie of the Year, and was Second Team All-MEAC a year ago.
As a freshman last year (2016), she led the team in kills (315), averaging 3.18 kills per set, and a team-high 2.76 digs per set (273 in 99 sets).
She had a season high 22 kills against North Florida (9-20-16), and had a season-high 22 digs, to go with 18 kills against Bethune-Cookman (10-30-16).
Abreu had 19 kills against SE Louisiana (9-3-16) and 18 kills against the University of Georgia (9-13-16).
She finished the season ranked #6 in the MEAC in Kills (3.18) and Points (3.59), and #8 in Hitting (.247).
FAMU head volleyball coach Tony Trifonov was excited about Abreu's participation in the World Championships: "We are happy for Nicole to have this opportunity to play on an international stage. It should be a good experience for her, which should carry over into our season. She had an outstanding freshman year, and she's just an all around player who will only get better."
Abreu is the fourth Lady Rattler to have international summer experience, joining hitter Maria Yvette Garcia, Pamela Soriano (2015 Under 20 Dominican Republic National Team) and libero Valentina Carrasco (2015 Under 18 Peruvian National Team).

when i was 18, i was still in love with my ex. We had went out a few years prior but, it didn't work out. We met up again at the city college we were both attending after going to different high schools.
I was still the shy type, i never really moved on a chick unless i knew 90% she was feelin me. Well oh girl, let's call her tanya, gave me a lot signals she wanted to "try again". Staring long, being extremely touchy, flirty etc. I was in the school library chillin & she came lookin for me. She was like:
"rey...we never hangout anymore, we should get up"
"ugh...ugh, i mean its on you, what you tryna do? (tryna to not sound interested/thirsty)
"we should go see [random movie], come get met this weekend & we can hang out"
"aight, blahblahblahblah, i'll pick you up this friday?" (tryna be as nonchalant as possible)
friday came. I worked up myself thinkin it gonna a romantic ass date. Didn't even have the decency to call, she myspaced a nigga that her friends were in town & that she couldn't go. Being the young nigga i was, i took that as try harder. Her birthday was around the corner. I thought of every thing she ever told me she liked & i got it for her.
4 bouquets of roses - check
cds of artists she liked - check
new dvds - check
$200 of vickie secrets - check
chocolate & candies - check
5 page love letter pouring my soul out - check
all delivered to her house on her birthday morning. She called me up sayin it was the most romantic thing a boy's ever done for her. I thought i was #winning. Son.....the very next time i saw her at school, she was hugged up with her new boyfriend, who i immediately figured out was the reason she canceled our date in the first place. Im pretty sure that nigga got her a teddy bear & got his balls tickled by her tongue while i dropped like $400-$500 tryna be romantic. I could literally feel my soul separated from my body completely pure ether son....

Taming Bella
A hairy situation puts Bella in an awkward position. A birthday present for Heather Maven from two of her triangle of curls girls. Collab between CullensTwiMistress and Maplestyle. BxE; Humor/Romance; AH.
Warning: Not for the faint of hearts...may be bordering crackfic in some areas…
CarrieZM and Planetblue beta'd this fuckery, but we may have tweaked it afterward… All mistakes are our own. Thank you so much, ladies! ;)
Chapter 1
That asshole!
Doesn't he know how loud she is?
Who does that? I mean, at least, close your god damn window!
I've never seen the guy that moved into the building behind me. His unit faces mine and given the way his girlfriend screams and moans every night, I'd say he's giving it to her pretty good.
The lucky bitch.
Okay, so maybe part of me is a bit jealous, but as far as I know he could look like a complete troll.
A troll with a magic penis, apparently.
Anywho. I want to sleep.
"SHUT UP!" I scream, my voice is loud in the confines of my bedroom, and he probably can't hear me over her screams, but dammit, it feels good to let it out.
Closing my eyes, I try to sleep, using relaxation techniques taught to me by my therapist Alice, but fail miserably when her screams and moans turn into something that sounds like Jack the Ripper is ripping into her flesh or tearing off a limb.
"That cannot be real," I mumble, pinching my eyes closed. Seriously, who sounds like that during sex with the windows wide open to boot?
And why can't I find someone who can bring me that much pleasure?
Huffing, I get up and slam my window shut and turn on the television in hopes of drowning out their noises. "This should be good."
My whispered thoughts are interrupted by a final, "Oh yes … yes … YES!" Coming through my closed window and I roll my eyes, scanning the television for something to watch.
It's 3 a.m., who am I kidding? There is nothing on except some lame ass infomercials and porn. The porn from next door sounds better, thank you very much.
Unhappy with what I see, I turn off the screen and settle back into bed, my eyes as wide as saucers and my whole body wound up.
With a frustrated groan, I flip over onto my stomach and somehow, eventually fall into a restless sleep.
Morning comes much too early, and I find myself unwilling to get myself out of bed. I'm pretty sure I only got an hour or two of sleep at the most.
I can hear the birds chirping happily outside my bedroom window and I smile a little, knowing that I'm in for a beautiful day. It's Sunday and I'm not working today. My only plans consist of taking Kindle for a walk in the park. He's nice and undemanding. Plus, unlike a dog, I don't have to pick up his poop. I just wish his battery lasted longer.
I gather up everything I need to stay at the park for a while and bring some granola bars and water.
Just as I exit the front door of my building and head toward the park, I catch a flash of reddish-brown hair attached to a rather good looking guy and watch as he turns the corner towards the parking lot. I figure it must be new guy and Heather weeps at the thought that not only is he attractive, he must be doing something right in bed to cause his bed partner to scream bloody murder. Why can't I have a man like that?
Fleetingly, I think of going to confront him about his night time activities and how they've kept me up since he moved in, but I'm way too tired and fear I may burst into tears instead of screaming like a banshee-which is what I really want to do. Also, I consider that maybe he can't hear his partner's screams because he's got some sort of hearing disability and until I know more about him, I wouldn't want to come off as a huge bitch.
I think some recon is in order and turn toward the building. I buzz the one person who knows everything about everyone. Sure I'll be giving up some good solo time but I need to know about this guy.
"Yello?" Carlisle answers.
"Car? It's Bella. Come to the park with me?"
He tells me he'll be right down, and I sit on the top stair to wait for him.
Carlisle is a very handsome man, and I'd be all up in that if I were into older guys. He's really sweet, but he's also a bit of a gossip. And by bit of a gossip, I mean if you want to know what color underwear someone is wearing, Carlisle probably knows not only the color but the brand. The only problem with talking to someone with his proclivity for gossip is I have to handle this conversation with a bit of tact-something I'm not sure I can pull off in my sleepy state-or he'll spread it all around that I want to jump the new guys bones before noon tomorrow.
Turns out, I don't even have to ask Carlisle for the information I'm seeking. He regales me with tales of his new neighbor, including some things I really didn't want to know about said tenant's mother.
Someone please pass me the brain bleach, it's bad enough I have to listen to her son having sex, I don't need to know his mother purrs like a cat when you "stroked her kitty." Gag.
Edward, the new tenant, works at some club-though Carlisle isn't sure what he does exactly. It would explain why the bastard keeps waking me up at one in the morning.
Carlisle and I spend a few hours at the park catching up, I get to hear all about the dirty little secrets of his tenants. It makes me glad I don't live in his building, the man doesn't know the meaning of the word confidential.
When the sun sets, we walk back to the buildings and part ways. I spend the rest of my night catching up on some work. I have a meeting later this week and I was warned that my performance has to be better than usual. Apparently, one of the big-wigs from a company our firm wants to do the advertising for is coming in and my boss, James, is up my ass to make a good impression on him.
CullensTwiMistress is also posting this story on her profile... We're going to be posting throughout the next few days...
If you know Heather, go and wish her a happy birthday. She'll love it!
Now... who's with us?

Operator search
A quick learner from Pennsylvania says:
July 13, 2016
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
July 18, 2016
I agree, the 39-031 looks like a good match. When we started selling this operator, we asked a casement window company why they had an offset arm going down. Their feeling was that with the downwards facing offset, it would stay attached to the sash stud even if the clip became detached due to the extra pressure on the sash stud. Hopefully that makes sense!

Xorg intel driver cannot find LVDS output
I'm running Opensuse 11.1 and everything was working fine with my up-to-date Xorg packages from the X11/Xorg repository until the last update, from which xorg crashes because intel driver cannot find kernel modesetting.
So I enabled kernel modeset and now X server cannot find the LVDS1 screen. An external VGA Monitor is detected properly and allows the driver to run well. I tried with the old xorg.conf, with sax -r, X -configure and with no xorg.conf (as with newer kernel KSM enabled is not necessarily needed anymore).
My graphic card is an Intel 945GME.
For the record:
Also i haven't found any report of this bug yet so I'd like to know where it can be submitted and how.
Thanks in advance,

Welcome to my blog. I like fashion, beauty and all the beautiful things life has to offer. Hope you have a nice stay!
I love blogging and the community for savvy men and women cultivating their creativity and developing their very own brands. Hours spent designing, editing and writing means that yes, sometimes bloggers, including yours truly, are lucky enough to collaborate in partnerships with other brands. For me, this means I do accept products for review purposes and I do accept money for sponsored posts as well. When this happens I do always tell my readers per the FTC guidelines. Sometimes I also use affiliate linking - meaning when you click on a link provided in my post and actually purchase an item from the brand or store, I earn a small commission.

In "The Sunday Morning Reflections on Game Changing Technology" Andy Abramson digs into what's going on in the video space. You can summarize what he's saying as "with Facetime, Apple could remake the video conferencing space". He lays out a number of scenarios where applications like Webex and GoToMeeting are shared with video via an airplay link.
So where does that leave Skype? Skype has:
- One big gap on iPhone – the lack of video (and consequently desktop sharing).
- One huge advantage over Apple – install base. Because they're on so many devices, they can bring a much larger audience to bear more quickly.
If I were in Skype's shoes, I'd be hustling. The vision Andy lays out is compelling, but Skype has to catch up to Cisco and Citrix quickly.
When Apple launched Facetime Steve Jobs made promises to open up the technology, but to my knowledge it hasn't happened yet. Would Apple still look on an effort to create a cross platform video conferencing solution which embraces iPhone positively, or negatively? Do they have the appetite to shoot that big themselves, or would they leave it for third parties?

Crashes when coming out of sleep
Hi, I recently bought a new Asus G73 sw, and I seem to be having a problem that a lot of people are having: BSOD when coming out of sleep mode. While it doesnt happen every time, It still occurs more than 50% of the time. Here are my specs:
Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit.
Core i-7-2360
8 gb ram
Nvidia gtx460m graphics card.
I've attached the necessary dump files (I think I did it right...)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
|My System Specs
|07 Apr 2011
BSODs caused by your USB3.0 driver from Fresco Logic
Update it ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Notebooks - ASUS G73SW
Go to download>Win7 x64>USB and download the latest version
Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%. They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs. Use this SPTD uninstaller when you're done: DuplexSecure - Downloads
You can use MagicDisc as an alternative.

Usually the exception address pinpoints the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address. Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted /NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ... If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is happening.

The abundance of pretty medieval villages, idyllic lakeside harbours, towering pine forests and dramatic mountain scenery make Garda a perennial favourite. Spring and autumn are great times of the year to visit and this year, our base is on the strikingly beautiful northern end of the lake. The picturesque fishing port of Torbole sul Garda is a vibrant resort with an avid sailing and wind-surfing community who enjoy the breezes in this region. It offers a great base to explore the area, watch the activity on the lake, enjoy some gentle hikes or soak up the relaxing atmosphere.
Included Excursions
Optional Excursion
CLUB HOTEL LA VELASet against a backdrop of mountains, Club Hotel La Vela is just a few minutes' walk from the centre of Torbole as well as the lakeshore. This popular, value for money hotel comprises three buildings surrounding an outdoor pool (generally open early May to September - subject to change). Facilities include a restaurant, bar and 88 comfortable bedrooms, offering simple furnishings and décor. There is a lift to all floors.
NB: As from June 2012, the Italian Government has imposed a new tourist tax which has to be paid locally at the hotel, in cash, by all visitors. Therefore, we must advise any customer booking a holiday staying in Italy that they are likely to be charged an additional charge, on arrival at the hotel, of approximately €1.50 per person, per night. This charge will vary as it is set by the local council.
DAY 1 - From your chosen joining point your feeder vehicle will take you to the designated interchange point where your holiday begins. After joining your holiday coach, you will travel to Dover for the short sea crossing to Calais. Continue into France and onto the overnight hotel stop. Bed and breakfast.DAY 2 - Relax and watch the scenery unfold as the journey takes you southwards to Lake Garda for your 5-night stay in Torbole sul Garda. Porters assist with luggage whilst you enjoy a welcome drink on arrival at the relaxed Club La Vela. Dinner, bed and breakfast.DAY 3 - DAY 6 - You will have four full days to explore this beautiful region with TWO INCLUDED excursions. Dinner, bed and breakfast. One Gala night with music. From Torbole there is a pleasant lakeside promenade to the neighbouring resort of Riva del Garda (approx. 4km).
INCLUDED EXCURSIONS Riva del GardaA short transfer from Torbole for a leisurely day to explore the neighbouring resort of Riva del Garda at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites. Why not visit Rocca di Riva, the ancient castle which today houses a local museum or the 13th century clock tower. Enjoy a stroll along the lakeside promenade or saunter through the beautifully preserved, pedestrianised Citta Vecchia (Old Town). There will be an opportunity to join an optional excursion to the magnificent Varone waterfalls which cascades into a gorge with a drop of almost 100 metres. This wonderful spectacle is accessible via walkways (approx. 70 shallow, wide steps - a waterproof may be useful) which afford views from below and above. There will also be time to visit the pretty botanical gardens before continuing on with a scenic drive to the crystal clear spearmint Lake Tenno.
Romeo & Juliet's VeronaJourney to the magnificent old city of Verona, famous for Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'. Bordered on three sides by the River Adige, the streets of Verona's ancient centre follow the layout of the Roman city. Upon arrival you may either explore the city on your own or join the optional guided city tour by coach and then on foot.OPTIONAL EXCURSIONSLake CruiseYour tour manager will be able to offer a cruise on Lake Garda (subject to availability and seasonal timetable changes) to the pretty resort of Limone sul Garda, known for its distinctive remnants of old lemon houses. Full details and prices from your Tour Manager.
Half Day Malcesine Head south along the eastern shore to Malcesine, nestled in the shadow of Monte Baldo. Malcesine is one of the most attractive towns on the whole lake and has, for decades, drawn writers and artists with its picture perfect setting and historic castle. For a spectacular view over Lake Garda there is nothing to beat a ride on the Malcesine cableway (costs not included - approx. €20 full fare return in 2016) which rises to 1600 metres in just ten minutes to the top of Monte Baldo. DAY 7 - It's arrivederci to Lake Garda as you head northwards on the way to the final overnight stop.DAY 8 - Today after an early breakfast, continue back through France to Calais for the return crossing to England.

We had a great weekend trip at the flower patch. It was very clean and the owners were very friendly and very accommodating to our needs. The breakfasts and high tea were delicious. It was a great place to stay.
