Thanks for your answer. Strange characters displayed on time and date applet always change whenever I open it. Sometimes it displays arabic characters, some non-sense characters etc.
But finally I can fix it by changing my time format to English (US). Previously I had Indonesian. Strange glitch, though :\
Oh well, thanks. My problem is now solved

All the government doctors are going on a strike since Dec 21. However, on Saturday, the private doctors and medical teachers have supported the in-service doctors for their long-pending demand of pay-hike and time-bound promotions.
"Dr Durgashankar Saini met the director and handed over to him resignations of 5,000 doctors of various districts. Several other doctors in different districts have also forwarded their resignation to respective district collectors," said Mahesh Sharma, Vice-President of the Association.
According to sources, around a dozen patients including at least five in Jodhpur and one in Jaipur have died so far due to the unavailability of doctors.
"All the 6116 in-service doctors are on strike but the government has no sensitivity. Today, around 10,000 private doctors and 2000 medical teachers joined them," said S S Agrawal, Indian Medical Association, Rajasthan branch.

Effective form of promotion
Start preparations for participation in an exhibition show from analysing what kind of offer the company should go to the fairs with. Consider market conditions, the company's strategy but also the character of this very show and its usual visitors.
The goals, you want to achieve, must be precisely defined. Next, you define a cost estimate. It will be useful later on to verify the effectiveness of the whole investment. Having a general plan, it's time to make a detailed schedule. It's preparations time now: you have to design a stand (chapter Exhibition stand), which would represent your company at the fairs; select and train personnel (chapter Personnel, prepare the schedule of promotional activities planned in relation to your participation in the show (before and during the fairs).
If you plan to participate in the fairs in advance, it's worth to send an application as soon as possible. It will give you a chance to get a better stand location. From the exhibitor's point of view, the most desirable locations are: passageways, main entrance area, areas where fair visitors tend to gather (coffee machines, catering points, information, etc.). Also, applying in advance, you will usually get better (promotional) prices.
Making a last moment decision, you will probably have to do with a much worse location for you exhibition stand. When applying, determine, whether information about your company will be included in the fair catalogue and what is the deadline for sending all information and materials required for this publication. Due to the nature of the publishing process, acceptance of applications for the catalogue entries usually ceases several weeks before the opening of the fairs. Being in the catalogue is beneficial. Visitors treat the catalogue as a compendium of knowledge about exhibitors and buy it even before entering the fairs. All new buyers use it to acquire vendor information, as well. Moreover, the catalogues "outlive" the fairs for at least a year. Very often organizers receive requests for a catalogue even several months after the fairs.

Wide receiver Vidal Hazelton out of Staten Island (N.Y.) Moore Catholic just picked up two more offers in the past few days from the ACC and Big Ten. He also took a visit to home state power Syracuse.
The 6-foot-2, 192-pound receiver got offers from Penn State and Virginia Tech. What did the wideout think about the Virginia Tech offer?
"They have a solid program and good coaching," he said. "They are ACC champions and they speak for themselves. The offer wasn't too much of a surprise, I had been keeping in touch with coach Rogers and he told me he was sending an offer."
Article Continues Below
What does Hazelton like about the Virginia Tech program?
"I haven't had a chance to see it, but from what I see the coaching staff is good," he said. "They won the ACC championship so they got a good program and I'm sure the academics are good too."
And the Penn State offer?
"I was kind of surprised, I thought out of all the schools they should have been on me first, but I'm excited about the offer and all the offers," he said. "They have a nice coaching staff with coach Norwood and I'll get to see more on April 30th (NIKE). He told me I have the offer, they just like to give it to the player in person. I'm looking forward to see if they have the stuff I'm looking for in a college -- a good coaching staff, good academics and a solid football program. Joe Paterno is an old-time, big-time coach and he's well experienced and that's good too."
Last weekend, Hazelton also took a visit to Syracuse to watch the spring practice.
"It was exciting, they have a nice coaching staff and the practice was nice," he said. "You can tell the team really wants to win and that's a plus. I'm pretty impressed with the new staff; they seem to know what they are doing. They had a really good quarterback there, number 10, he's got a strong arm and that's what I was paying most attention to. They've got good receivers, but none of them are over six foot, so they don't have size."
With approximately 15 offers, does the wide receiver prospect have any favorites?
"Right now I'm wide open to all of the schools."
Besides heading up to check out Penn State at the end of the month, Hazelton also plans to attend the Penn State Nike Camp and the Elite College Combine in East Rutherford, New Jersey in May. What is Hazelton doing in preparation for the combines now?
"I'm running track, lifting weights and playing some basketball too," he said. "Track has helped me a lot with my 40 time, getting out of the blocks and my start. I'm also doing some catching and running routes. My speed definitely is the biggest improvement, my other focus is to get sharper route running. I can say that a lot of people will see my speed on April 30th."
As for next year, Hazelton has some big aspirations.
"I want to win the championship," he said. "Last year we got there, but lost and I want to try to win it this year. I'm also going to try to break all the records."
The wide receiver is also planning on sending out tape to Ole Miss, Kansas State and Connecticut. He has been talking to coach Johnson at Miami recently as well.
"They haven't offered yes, but of course they interest me," he said. "He mainly wants me to get down to camps and evaluate me more. I like that they've got a solid program and they speak for themselves, that's a big-time program."
Last year Hazelton ran for 240 yards and four touchdowns, he added 39 receptions for 784 yards and 17 touchdowns. On defense, he made 28 tackles and three sacks.
Hazelton should qualify with a solid 2.8 GPA.

NEW YORK (AP) — Police say the pilot of a small plane that crashed into the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey has been rescued and is being taken to a hospital. New Jersey state police say he has minor injuries.
Firefighters say the plane had been participating in Fleet Week activities and had engine trouble before it went down Friday night.
The Federal Aviation Administration says it received a report about a World War II vintage P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft going down near the George Washington Bridge.
North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue co-director Jeff Welz says firefighters and the Coast Guard responded. He says the plane sank quickly. Police say only the pilot was aboard.
The annual Fleet Week draws thousands of people to the nearby Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum for events including live demonstrations.

My column in the Aiken Standard today.
Duet For One
There is a wonderful little violin work by Niccolò Paganini called Duet for One. I first heard about it as I was listening to an equally wonderful podcast called Classical Classroom. If you haven't checked out the podcast or the piece, you should do both.
Rachel Barton Pine, who plays this piece magically herself, described the technical skills needed to play this piece as "like patting your head and rubbing your stomach times one thousand". Interestingly, one of the reasons that Paganini himself could write and perform pieces like this that were so technically difficult was because he had Marfan Syndrome, which lent a remarkable suppleness and dexterity to his joints and long fingers and therefore enhanced his ability to reach and stretch and master his instrument. That is another story for another day.
This piece, played by one performer on one violin, quickly sounds to the listener like a duet between a guitar and a violin, thus the title. The composition is crafted to fool us into thinking that we are hearing two things at once, though the sounds that are reaching our ears come from only one person playing one instrument. It's a remarkable feat and well worth your time to listen to it.
We do this ourselves in the modern world, don't we? No, not composing astounding musical compositions, but fooling the world, and sometimes even ourselves, into thinking that we are two different people. I can think of no place that better illustrates this than the world of social media.
Take Facebook for example.
All of us (present company included, I'm afraid I must admit) post things online that are exciting, different, flashy, colorful, out of the ordinary, and designed to capture the imagination of those who might glance our way. We are, sometimes justifiably, proud of what we do, the people we hang out with, the places we go, and the things we do. We want to share, to amaze, to educate, to notify others that we are exciting, funny, adventurous, dynamic people. The glamour, the food, the exotic places, the clothes, the cars-all tend to make us look like we are constantly on the go, with day after day of excitement in our lives and never a dull moment to negotiate.
Our normal lives?
Hotdogs, microwave pizza, movies on Netflix, and falling into bed exhausted by ten PM.
Oh, make no mistake, there is nothing wrong with Netflix (House of Cards fans unite!), and an early bedtime is as wonderful as partying until dawn when the day has been long and difficult.
We are, most of us, normal people living normal lives who sometimes feel compelled to present ourselves as the most melodious of duets, when the single line of our lives is as wondrous a melody as God in heaven has ever composed.
Duet for one, or solo performance of a lifetime?
It's July Fourth weekend here in the states and we are ready to celebrate. That means music, hotdogs, grilling out, swimming, vacationing, road trips, and being with friends and family. We love to eat BBQ, salute our flag as it waves in the breeze and finish off our nation's birthday celebration with fireworks.
Celebration is as old as man himself. Why do we celebrate? We are happy, we are thankful, and we want to give some of that good feeling to those we live with and work with and care about. We want to give thanks to our Creator.
We celebrate the changing of the seasons, firsts in our lives (births, marriages (hi love in Milan!), victories on the battlefield and breakthroughs in the laboratory. We celebrate milestones. What is more exciting and more deserving of celebration than baby's first step, first word and first birthday? We celebrate achievements. We get baptized. We graduate, we get doctorates, we earn another stripe.
We also need to celebrate the darker times, because they make us that much stronger. We celebrate not the death of a loved one, but the life that they so fully lived. We celebrate the mistakes we make, because we learn so much in making them. We celebrate defeats, because we know that rising from the ashes, living to fight on another day and becoming smarter and more seasoned is the long-term reward that we get for the short-term sting of the setback.
How do we celebrate? Parties, music, dancing, cake, BBQ, fireworks, poetry, monuments, bands, twenty-one gun salutes, and works of art that share the celebration with generations for centuries after the revelry has died.
Now, some might say that in America, as we approach this 241st birthday party for our nation, that we are hard pressed to find something to celebrate. We are divided, we are pitted against each other and we are struggling to remember what made us who we are.
I would say to those who try to dampen our spirits and forego the celebration that it is in the darkest times that we need to burn the candles on the cake of freedom the brightest. We need to let the white hot intensity of democracy sear itself into our eyes and our brains so that it can never be extinguished. We need to follow the example of our beloved Lady in the New York harbor and raise the torch of freedom high enough so that everyone who needs that taste of liberty can see it and follow it home.
Yes, even in the darkest times, we celebrate.
Happy birthday, America.
More Than Words, Redux
I can't believe I'm even having to write this, but here goes.
Words matter.
Words inspire:
Words heal:
"Today is a day for mourning and remembering."
Words hurt:
Words about sexuality, bodily functions, bleeding from orifices mentionable and unmentionable, grabbing them by the p—, moving on her "like a b—-", hitting on, compulsively kissing.
Words can be gifts.
Words can be tools.
Words can be powerful weapons.
Words can shame.
Words can affirm.
Words have launched revolutions and created bold experiments in democracy.
Words can take us, very quickly, from wondering what is going on in someone's mind to the shocking revelation of what is really there.
This is about oh so much more than politics, my dear readers.
This is about simple human decency.
This is about respecting the worth and dignity of every human being just because they do indeed have an inherent worth.
This is about keeping private things private, intimate things intimate, and dangerous things contained.
This is about social order and common decency and relationships in societies and institutions that are built on trust and cooperation and compromise and goodwill.
This is about building up, not walling off or tearing down.
This is about unsullied generations unborn and what we owe them, not flawed generations past and what they might owe us.
This is about being more than Democrats or Republicans or white or black or northerners or southerners or Muslim or Christian or Jew.
This is about more than nationality and pride.
This is about being decent, forthright, respectful, restrained, dignified human beings.
Listen to me, a humble writer who has made more than his share of mistakes using the spoken and written word.
Words matter.
Words matter.
Words. Truly. Matter.

Featuring: My Songs The Pearl Songs The Imperial March from Star Wars. I chose this song because in Star Wars this is Darth Vader's theme. He is the bad guy in the movie. The Song of the Pearl The Song of the Evil Home by Phillip Phillips. I really like the song, and the beginning seemed more like it fit the Pearl. It's strong and has a nice flow. You can almost imagine Kino's search for the Pearl and all the troubles he went through to keep it safe. The Song of Coyotito
(Juana Singing to Coyotio) Hallelujah (Light Has Come) by BarlowGirl. The beginning of this song is so beautiful, and lyrics could be sung from Juana as a prayer to God about Coyotito. Juana prayed throughout the book so this could have been one of her prayers. The Song of Drama :P We Are Never Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift. A lot of my friends go through this. It happened to my older brother, and it will probably happen to me. It's also one of my favorite songs! The Song of the Family Lead Me by Sanctus Real. I chose this song because it was written for the lead singer's family. The beginning really reminds me of Kino's situation. It's a sweet melody and I love the background music. The Song of My Favorites! Everybody Talks by Neon Trees. I LOVE THIS SONG! It's so catchy and it's fun to listen to and dance to! The Song of Kino and The Pearl Some Nights by F.U.N. sung by Jake Coco and Friends. The beginning lyrics really tell the battle of Kino and the Pearl as he thinks he is doing the right thing, but in the end, he was all wrong. I really love the vocals in this version! Ashley Flowers

How do I reduce multiple download files to one?
I want to get all my data off my program drive. So I set up a Downloads folder in my data drive (E:/). Most of my downloads go there--but not all. A few go to C:\Users\Ivan\Desktop\Downloads instead.
I also have Downloads folders at
How do I ensure that all downloads go only to E:\downloads?
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Depending upon what browser[s] you're using, each one can be "told" to save everything to: e:\downloads
Have a shortcut to each of your download folders because there are some downloads that will only go to their pre-determined download folder such as your user desktop folder, or user download folder. There are browser plugins or extensions or addons that will help you "tell" where each and every download is to go [with the exceptions of the pre-determined ones].

High School of Dundee pupil was not bullied into suicide say parents
THE parents of Sophie Parkinson have insisted she was not bullied into taking her own life.
Sophie, 13, was found hanged at her home, in Liff, near Dundee, on Saturday. Police said there were no suspicious circumstances.
One online tribute to the High School of Dundee pupil suggested she may have been bullied.
Yesterday, however, the dead girl's mother, Ruth, 42, told how she had lain with her daughter the night before, "stroking her hair and chatting" just hours before she died.
The Dundee University researcher said bullying suggestion were "baseless".
And her partner, Sophie's stepfather Craig Moss, said the suggestion was "an insult" to victims of bullying.
Ruth said: "One thing I do know is it was not bullying. I don't have any answers and I want answers – that wasn't the Sophie I knew.
"The Sophie I knew was the girl I was lying with the night before, stroking her hair and chatting to.
"She was a happy girl, but she must have had such deep-seated issues. I know she was very well loved by everyone. It is such a tragic waste.
"She was so clever, really funny, always laughing, smiling and kind. I think she was too sensitive to the world and was hurt by the world."
Sophie's mother also praised the private school, her friends and neighbours for all their support. "It has been absolutely overwhelming," she added.
People have been doing my washing and ironing – we cannot begin to describe the kindness we have been shown
"Even to the extent where people have been coming to the door with food and making sure we eat, because you do not really feel like eating.
"People have been doing my washing and ironing – we cannot begin to describe the kindness we have been shown."
The second-year pupil at the £10,665-a-year school was described there as a "popular, talented, kind and caring pupil" who was good at English and loved cooking.
The school's rector, Dr John Halliday, said pupils and staff had been "stunned and saddened" and that support was being provided to her classmates and teachers.
Mr Moss, who works for software company Oracle, said he particularly liked a comment from Dr Halliday, describing Sophie as having a "liberal interpretation" of the school dress code.
He added: "She was a very gregarious child and she used to wear a flower in her hair, which was not entirely in the school policy.
"On Tuesday morning, at assembly, the pupils in first and second forms wore flowers in their hair, which the school allowed. That was very kind."
"People have been so kind. It has brought our family and friends together in a way we did not think possible. That is Sophie's legacy, which will remain long after her."

This one's an unadorned beauty, ya'll! Unadorned in the sense that her natural look and feel could trick the Hair Gods into thinking it's yours and a beauty because her long and silky tresses make her stand out without even trying!
Unfortunately, Sensationnel did not give her a name, but if I could give her one, it would simply, be "Selena!" I find "Selena" suiting because I would always rock her with cute Boho headbands that sported crimson red roses – a staple in Spanish culture!
Selena is quite alluring though! Her lavish mane with delicate sea-shore waves did me well! The cap was a nice fit too – not too snug and came with adjustable straps in case you need to tighten or loose her up. She comes with parting already in place which is a definite perk! It's like a MILE long too! So with a touch of concealer, you can make it look even more realistic than before. Of course, you can always tweeze her part, but I found my concealer doing the trick and I looked just fine! Plus, tweezing takes time and Lord knows I enjoy being lazy!
Her length is gorgeous by the way, but as we ALL know, there have to be SOME drawbacks! 😉 The only problem I noticed with her luxurious tresses was that she would sometimes either get caught up in my seatbelt or she would get trapped in my car door as I would get in and shut it! OUCH! Lol Troublesome, I know! But the quick fix was just holding onto her as I got in and out! They have always said 'Beauty iZZZ pain!' Well, I'm guessing it can sometimes be a hassle too! 😛
Like Christmas, when you un-box your wigs, the excitement you have exudes EVERYWHERE! Or at least MINE does! Your wigs come out of their little boxes bearing their polished, bouncy, and sleek locks! Well, Selena is NO different! In fact, her bounce, sleekness, and polished locks remained during my entire duration of wear – 4 weeks!!! 🙂 Talk about money well spent!
As far as maintenance is concerned, just make sure to close your car doors slowly, be cautious while taking off your seatbelts, and brush her CONSTANTLY! She did manage to tangle quite a bit, but I found that with brushing her with a nylon bristled brush kept her tangle-free and eye-catching because of the volume the brushing created! I did have to cut her a bit after about 3 weeks due to the tangling. No worries there, however, as her 'Pomp and Circumstance' remained!
Overall, I plan on purchasing her once more due to me being able to rock her while wearing my causal gear to my "I wanna look like Rihanna, so I rush to Forever 21 to cop her outfit for the low" gear while looking absolutely breathtaking in either fit!
That iZZZ "if I do say so myself!" 🙂 cue Jay-Z voice!
I purchased her from www.hairsisters.com of course! I think I paid a tad more for her, but fortunately, you all can purchase her for $24.95 since Hairsisters lowered her price! Here's the direct link!
P.S. PLEASE enjoy this one! The compliments I received never ended while I fibbed and claimed it was my own hair when asked! 😉
*** Beware, I do NOT wear my lace-fronts with glue NOR tape. I wear my lace-fronts with less of an inch of my OWN hair out because I think they look more realistic that way! 🙂 Be sure to leave your comments, suggestions, and inquiries below! ***
Remember to Live Life, Beautifully <3

Ryan Reynolds and Conan O'Brien delivered a gloriously sloppy reenactment of The Notebook's "Why didn't you write me?" scene on Conan Wednesday. The extended clip capped off a bit about Reynolds' "upcoming projects" that also included a line of thinly sliced ham underwear and an album of children's songs about Civil War wounds.
Reynolds also teased a few movies, including an anti-dolphin documentary and a sex tape with the cast of Fox and Friends called Where's My Thumb?. O'Brien refused to a roll a clip from either. The host reluctantly rolled the clip from The Notebook 2 after Reynolds informed O'Brien that he'd filmed it during their absinthe-fueled vacation to Tijuana a few years back.
With Reynolds as Noah and O'Brien as Allison, the pair stood in the rain and recreated the famous scene line-for-line before engaging in a long and grabby make-out session. "How's my stomach taste?" Reynolds asked O'Brien. "You have the longest tongue in show business, my God!"

I was going to follow this guide: How To: Root the HTC Desire (Unrevoked Method) | TheUnlockr as it seems to be the most concise one I have found so far, and the easiest. I've read a lot of forums about SIM locked phoned, gold cards, etc. do I need to worry about this stuff using unRevoked? There doesn't seem to be any mention about it in any unRevoked guides... Also, if I run unrevoked, do I need to install a custom ROM as well? At the moment I'd just like to root it, then have a think about what ROM to choose. If I hold down the back key and turn the phone on I get: BRAVO PVTI SHIP S-ON HBOOT 0.93.0001 MICROP 031d TOUCHPANEL SYNT0101 RADIO 5.10.05.17_2 Thanks very much for any help!

CJM Cancels FEGR LOI
CJM Trust has cancelled the proposed LOI with Friendly Energy Corp (FEGR) for a 45% working interest in the newly discovered field on the Jacks "B" Lease located in Young County, Texas.
February 13, 2013 (Newswire.com) - CJM Trust ("CJM"), owner of a new oil field discovery in Young County Texas, has terminated the proposed Letter of Intent (LOI) with Friendly Energy (FEGR) for a 45% (forty five percent) working interest in the Jacks B Lease. CJM has determined that Friendly Energy is too small to absorb the production and notified Friendly this week that the project would be cancelled. CJM Trust will continue to pursue a public company merger and is currently looking for future candidates.
About CJM Trust: CJM Trust is the holding company for Oil and Gas properties discovered using the proprietary technology of Radar Satellite Solutions. Radar Satellite Solutions uses remote sensing, ground penetrating radar, and extreme low frequency detection (ELF) to help find oil and gas reservoirs and drilling locations.
The Jacks lease has not produced more than 2 barrels of production per day since the late eighties, and Radar Satellite Solutions has used their technology to re-complete seven of the wells to peak production of nineteen barrels of oil per day. Radar Satellite Solutions is perforating in new zones and re-completing two wells every few weeks. This should double current production within the next few months. Currently, several different technologies are being utilized on the re-completion side including alkaline flooding and other surfactant chemistry.
CJM is currently looking for other public partners for this project. The lease currently produces nineteen barrels of oil per day with the potential for multiple other drilling locations.

Since we have started going to VaTech in 2012 we have been looking for a good restaurant that's just a little bit more than burgers, pizza and such. There are some decent places for that in Blacksburg, but 622 North is a notch above. At our table we had a prosciutto wrapped barramundi, a chorizo burger and Ossobucco. Each were prepared quite nicely and the whole experience was a cut above what we have found so far in Blacksburg. It is also a wine bar with intriguing decor that makes you feel like you are at a grown up restaurant, not just a college town pub. I gave it 4 stars because we went back for brunch and it was rather mediocre. They ran out of some of the dishes advertised 2 hours before the brunch was supposed to be over. The waiter that time really pretty much forgot about us and didn't refill coffee mugs or the water glasses; at least he was pleasant.
We will definitely be back for dinner on one of our next trips to Blacksburg.

Ornua opens €20m cheese plant in Saudi Arabia
Ireland's largest exporter of dairy products Ornua has opened a new €20m cheese plant in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The facility will make white cheeses for the Saudi Arabian market, which is the world's fifth-largest dairy importer.
The Riyadh plant will also act as a central hub for the firm to access dairy markets in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region.
Chief executive of the Kerrygold-maker Kevin Lane said the facility will provide Ornua with a new route to market for Irish dairy. "We now have a manufacturing and trading hub in place to service the high growth dairy market of Saudi Arabia and our growing MENA customer base," Mr Lane said.
New technology developed by Ornua and Teagasc, the food development authority, will be installed at the facility in order to create the range of white cheeses.
The Ornua boss said the ability to innovate and respond to market needs is "key to developing opportunities for Irish dairy".
The new technology allows milk ingredients to be recombined for fresh white cheese production.
The Riyadh plant will also have an innovation hub that will be used to develop cheese solutions with customers.
Teagasc head of food research Mark Fenelon said the new technology "marks a new approach" to cheese manufacturing.
The move follows on from Ornua's acquisition of Shanghai-based dairy manufacturer, Ambrosia. The Ambrosia takeover was the firm's first Chinese deal.

Past still haunts path to peace
One of the most shocking stories of the Troubles was the abduction and murder of Jean McConville by the Provisional IRA. The mother-of-10 was taken forcibly from her young family just before Christmas in 1972, and the brutality and injustice of her death has not lost any of its impact.
In today's Belfast Telegraph her daughter Helen McKendry describes in disturbing detail the savage treatment of Mrs McConville. This was compounded by the long years during which her remains lay in an unmarked grave on a lonely beach before being found in 2003.
Helen McKendry firmly believes that the Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams gave the order for the abduction of her mother, and she wants her day in court. Mr Adams has consistently denied any involvement in this abduction.
In today's paper we also carry a story about accusations that the Provisional IRA covered up the deaths of some 19 "child soldiers" aged between 12 and 16. The names of some of these children, including Cathleen McCartland, who was 12, and Eileen Mackin, who was 14, have been removed from republican war memorials or records.
There is a common thread between these two major reports - about child "terrorists" who were themselves victims, and also the McConville murder - and this is the need for knowledge about the past.
The murder of Jean McConville had a terrible effect on her children, and who could deny that Helen McKendry's life has been lost to the mob who abducted her mother? She has grown even to look like her mother physically, and she is a haunting reminder of the woman she still mourns, and for whom she still seeks justice.
We deserve answers. No matter how "brave" these people believe themselves to be, they lack the courage to admit: "I dragged a mother-of-10 from her home and murdered her".
For all the criticism directed at the Stormont administration, there has been progress on many fronts, but dealing properly with the past has remained elusive. There is an onus on the institutions to deal with this major issue, this ocean of human emotion.
We must find a way to get to the truth, otherwise the pain quite understandably will continue to pass down the generations, and the search for a lasting peace will continue for a long time to come.

Para Tri is Sportsworld's first owned event and the UK's only mass-participation event dedicated to people with disabilities! The Para Tri website is now live!
Para Tri is the UK's first ever mass-participation event dedicated to people with disabilities. The inaugural event, the paratriathlon, will be held at the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic rowing venue, Dorney Lake on Sunday 9 August 2015.
Para Tri builds on the legacy of the Paralympics and Invictus Games, with one fundamental difference – it isn't just for the elite. It gives the one million people with disabilities who participate in sport regularly, and those who want to be more active, the chance to come together, compete and have fun on dedicated playing field for the first time.
Participants can choose from five very different paratriathlon distances, which have been designed for every fitness level and ability. The 'Sprint Para Tri' is aimed at absolute beginners – and if they'd like a little support they can invite able-bodied family, friends and colleagues to be part of a relay team. Those looking for a serious challenge can sign up to the 'Full Para Tri' and take on the same distances as our elite paratriathletes at Rio 2016.
Paralympic sprinter and Para Tri founder, Sophia Warner, commented, "In 1998 I was the first disabled participant to complete the London Triathlon. Even as an elite athlete I found the prospect of entering an able-bodied event daunting. Disability sport falls into two main categories: rehabilitation and elite – with very few opportunities for the majority in between. Para Tri is the realisation of a long-held dream to create a series of dedicated events that anyone with a disability can enter."
Para Tri at Dorney Lake is the first in a series of mass participation events planned for people with disabilities. Para Tri's official charity partners are The Children's Trust and Help for Heroes.
Further information, including how to register for the inaugural event, is available at www.paratri.com, with regular updates available on www.twitter.com/Para_Tri and www.facebook.com/Para_Tri.

Dino Might Online Slots
Prehistoric dinosaurs come to the 21st-century flash casino in the online slot game Dino Might. This is a brightly coloured, fantastically animated dinosaur-themed online slots game with dinosaurs soaring by and chirping in the background. Dino Might is a 5-reel, 25 payline and 250 coin slot machine game that has multiple paylines to increase your chances of winning.
Great Dino Might Online Slot Machine Features
You'll find some amazing features when you play Dino Might slots online. The regular symbols include all sorts of colourful dinosaurs including Triceratops, Brontosaurus, Pachy C, and Ankylosaurus. There are also interesting and unusual flowers and plants of the time such as the Rafflesia and the Cycad. The Dino Might Symbol is the wild, multiplier symbol. It doubles the payout of any combination that it completes when it's acting as a wild symbol.

Online Slot Machine Bonus Fun
Now, there is even more fun with the bonus games available with this online casino slots game. The Triggersaurus Symbol triggers the Reel bonus game if there are three or more of them on enabled paylines. The number of Triggersaurus symbols that you have before you play dictates how many Bonus Triggersaurus symbols you'll be able to choose in the bonus game. Each Bonus Triggersaurus symbol is a random value and it will be multiplied by the number of coins you bet per payline to give you your bonus win amount. For three Triggersaurus symbols you get to pick one Bonus Triggersaurus symbol; if four Triggersaurus symbols activate the bonus game, you get to select two Triggersaurus symbols; and if five Triggersaurus symbols get you into the bonus round, you'll have three selections of Bonus Triggersaurus symbols.

Twitch Build Guide by CptGato

This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

Twitch Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is a simple build for Twitch that works very well on 5v5.
If I did a Pentakill with this. Imagine what you can do with your Twitch.
For Players
Some tacticts for New Twitch players.
Sometimes the use of Ambush at the begging of the game allows you to scout for your team for the 10s of the stealth plus your Mana reg will allow you to cover alot in your lane or jungle.
But if you wanna be an offensive, instead of being alone in the map, choose explunge. This allows you to finish off enemys at a longer distance and its a great way to get the first blood.
ATTENTION: If you have a Soraka on your team, you are unstoppable!
Just a heads-up.
Dont be afraid of buying items early like on the Boots.
The reason why you buy Life Steal before a BF Sword is because Twitch has a natural high-leveled Attack Damage, so you dont need to instantly buy AD Items.
But if you want to be more offensive with Twitch and make the enemy team surrender at 20 minutes, buy alot of AD but dont forget that you are a low-HP champion.
Just for an exemple that I saw with my team.
Twitch: (without red buff) 301 AD at level 15 Same build as Gangplank
Gangplank: (with red and blue buff) 301 AD at level 18 Same build as Twitch
Team Work
Twitch has a fantastic suprise for enemy players: HIS ULTIMATE!
If you see a great team fight going on. Stealth your self. Use your ultimate and win that.
Why use this 2 abilitys for the Team fight?
The ambush gives you an addicional attack speed after leaving stealth mode.
And with the Ultimate's range and addicional AD no one stops you ;)
Ganking Players
Ganking players with twitch is the most easiest thing ever, since he has the Ambush ability.
Allmost every player can be ganked by YOU! (Twitch)
If they try to escape just use your "Debilitating Poison", which slows your enemy and prolongs their poison stack for a short time, while doing addicional damage. Its great for not letting them escape.
This build was made by ME.
This build was experimented by ME.

I see two new shoe merchants at CJ today (looks like the same company). Both sites have their 1-800 number plastered TWICE on every page of their site.
CJ should really warn these companies that we are going to think twice about signing up with them when they use their 1-800 number so prominantly on thier pages. But, I expect CJ is just interested in getting them to sign up, get their commission and let the merchant beware later.
Just griping, I guess. Some things will never change no matter how much we gripe about them.

As a merchant the need for the 800 number is a must. Ive found that it is a big help when a customer needs to have a question answered in regards to navigation, shipping time, etc.
As an affiliate, I belive that it needs to be tied in with the affiliate id, a lot of companies are begining to do this, and especially since this question was posted on another board. The agreement, and some disagree, that the number can be placed, but not on banners period, on the web site ok, but on a contact page, or very discreet, not 72 point bold faced type, or its ok if it is tied with the affilaite id number such as IBM, which lists the 800 number right above the "offer code" which is the affiliate id.
If I see it on the banner, they get dropped quick end of story. If it is on the web site, that is ok, if discreet whether or not it is tied with an affiliate id, some say they can afford the technology, or its just not an option. But if it follows the sale, or interupts the sale process, ie customers are plugging along with all their information and this number is there distracting the affiliate sale, then its a scam period.
Just some thoughts, not necessarily my own, but what Ive read on various boards.
wow I can post again....

7-Days points out one valid reason new network merchants need to be honestly evaluated here at ABW. Pointing out such blatent diversion/leakage tactics like Huge 800# messages on the site and within the shopping cart checkout process are valid red flags for a non-converting merchant. Networks promise to recruit fresh meat and active affiliates for those entry and monthly fees.
Hard to swallow the revenue spin for affiliates when all the initial and followup planning, undertaken by a merchant, is spent on devising ways to NOT have to pay a full commission while wringing the referral traffic for every dime they can get when taking the affiliate out of the loop.

I think the two new shoe merchants at CJ should be contacted about this. Nothing promotes change like 30 or 40 E-mails from Publishers within the first week after joining, stating that they aren't going to join the program due to the 800 numbers.
If that doesn't provide them with enough motiviation to make a change, you probably don't want to waste your time on them anyway...

This seems to be a topic that comes up here every 6 weeks or so.
As far as CJ letting merchants know these kinds of thing. I don't see that happening. I don't see CJ providing a checklist of the Do's and Don'ts of attracting affiliates. Especially in areas like 800 #'s which could viewed as impacting on areas that effect the merchant's overall business plan.
At least the 2 incidents of the 800 # of these merchants (agree it's the same merchant with 2 sites) is less prominent than I've seen with some merchants. On one of the site's it's up in the header and is kind of hidden in the graphics.
I'm more concerned by the eye catching DMA logo on every page. As a shopper that would make me run from the merchant personally. I'd be thinking along the lines of how private my info was really going to be and how much email and catalogs I would get bombarded with once I bought from them. That's just me though. Maybe most shoppers don't know what the DMA is.
We've had a few merchants here at ABW that have either integrated a tracking system with phone orders or removed/modified their 800 #'s after coming to ABW and learning how affiliates feel about this. If this is a new merchant to affiliate marketing, it may honestly never occurred to them the impact the number may have on their affiliate program.
Maybe an invite to ABW would be a start. What kind of response (or lack of) may also give an indication of how responsive they are to questions and how serious they are about their affiliate program in general. That's always a question in my mind with new merchants. Do they even have a dedicated AM, how much do they understand about AM, how committed to their program are they, etc.
Oh what the heck. Off the give them an invite to come here.
It's Your Money. You earned it. What are you going to do to make sure you get to keep it?

I knew it was useless to suggest CJ warn merchants (why scare them away before they sign the CJ contract?), but had to gripe about it again anyway.
Good idea to contact them, BLFH. I think I will send them an email as you suggest.

Rustu plans Barca return
By Mark Kendall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Rustu Recber wants to return to Barcelona and establish himself as number one.Turkish goalkeeper Rustu Recber insists he still hopes to establish himself as number one at Barcelona.
The 32-year-old endured a miserable spell at Camp Nou after arriving in the summer of 2003 and was overlooked in favour of Victor Valdes.
He opted to return to former club Fenerbahce on a season-long loan last term and was expected to leave Barca on a permanent basis.
However, he has just secured EU citizenship meaning he will no longer be one of Barca's three 'foreign' players and is now planning to try and oust Valdes.
"I want to return to a great club like Barcelona," he stated.
"It's an honour to be able to return and I will do everything possible to be first choice."
However, Barca director of sport Txiki Beguiristain remains uncertain the Turkey international has a future at the club and plans to sit down with coach Frank Rijkaard to discuss his predicament.
"His return to Barcelona is still a decision for the coaches," explained Beguiristain.
"We need to talk to him to explain what the situation is with the team.
"Once I have that information it will be important to know what he thinks."
