San Diego, CA (PressExposure) July 15, 2011 -- The American Dream was once a simple vision - owning a home with a white picket fence and perhaps a new car in the driveway. Today, however, it seems as if that dream has expanded to include all of the above plus being fit as a fiddle to look and feel as good as possible.
Unfortunately, the sheer number of options available for people to stay in shape can be overwhelming, to say the least; sometimes it's a nightmare. All someone needs to do is turn on the T.V. or drive down the street and they are bombarded with messages from competing gyms.
The trouble is, often times, individuals will fall in love with the idea of becoming a gym member, only to realize in a few short months they're not getting their money's worth. Who has time to drive 15 or 30 minutes to the nearest gym each day, only to wait hours in an overcrowded environment for that one machine they want?
Thanks to cutting edge technology and extremely affordable financing options, the solution is finally here.

Ada Util is a collection of utility packages for Ada 2005. Several packages are inspired from Java packages and libraries (Java properties, log4j, listeners, streams). The library provides a logging framework, a serialization/deserialization framework for XML, JSON, CSV, an Ada beans framework, a composition stream framework (raw, files, buffers, pipes, sockets), several concurrency tools (reference counters, counters, pools, fifos, arrays), a REST client framework, and more.
Osgish is a command line shell for OSGi. It is based on the Readline Library, Jmx4Perl, as the OSGi backend, and Aries JMX as the OSGi Management layer. It is different than other OSGi shells, as it is implemented in pure Perl and provides unique features like wildcard support, context-sensitive command line completion, syntax highlighting, bulk lifecycle operations, advanced query facilities, and remoting via HTTP. It uses jmx4perl and Aries JMX OSGi bundles for accessing the OSGi container remotely.
Azzyzt JEE Tools is a set of Eclipse plugins for creating a so-called "azzyzted" project, and for creating code from a model. Azzyzt uses Java JPA entities as a model, and from that model it creates an enterprise application, ready to be deployed in a Java EE 6 application server like GlassFish 3.1, ready to be accessed via CORBA, SOAP, and REST. Thus the generated application is a set of Web services, providing all that you need in a typical CRUD application. Generated enterprise applications have separate source folders for generated and developer-supplied content. You can add your own functionality to a well-engineered base project. Azzyzt JEE Tools is not about user interfaces. It is expected that the generated application is accessed by a RIA frontend or by a fat client.
iBeans aims to make integration for Web applications much easier than it is today. It does this by focusing on simplicity and task-based integration and avoids technical jargon and new concepts wherever possible. It offers easy to use integration for doing things like publishing and subscribing to JMS queues and topics, sending and receiving email, polling resources such as databases and ATOM feeds, task scheduling, creating HTTP/Rest services, consuming external services such as Amazon EC2 and S3, Twitter, Flickr, Google, and much more. It proves a Tomcat distribution that drops straight into Tomcat, with no need to mess with your project dependencies, and works with developer tooling for Tomcat or Tcat. It has a very simple API using annotations. This means iBeans can be plugged into your existing Web apps easily. It includes easy unit and mock testing using JUnit. IBeans Central offers a great place to discover and try new iBeans in your applications.
CRest (Client REST) is a lightweight library that simplifies the integration of third party RESTful services into Java applications. CRest is mainly annotation-driven, allowing the developer to focus on the essential aspects of the integration of a REST service, such as the definition of the Java interface that maps the remote REST methods and the data model the interface will deal with. The rest is achieved by annotating a plain Java interface with the relevant information such as the service end-point, the desired timeouts, URL formats, etc. CRest will handle everything else, including HTTP request generation, auto marshalling of the response, and more.

Today I am going to discuss something of controversy within the EDS community: Chiropractic Care.
I am really excited to share this information with you, as I have had much success with this new type of treatment. I have been really scared (as I should be!) to see a regular chiropractor. I have had them pop joints out of place, and several hurt me worse than before I sought treatment. What has led me to seek chiropractic care in the past has ranged from general neck and back problems, subluxed vertebrae, dislocated ribs, and even a dislocated pelvis. Unfortunately, the last time I subluxed a vertebra and did not get in to the chiropractor, I was literally unable to move a muscle in my entire body without screaming in pain and was completely immobile for more than two weeks. So what were my options?
When I moved back to Nevada last fall, I sought alternative treatments for my ailments, in combo with the regular doctors. I found a great chiropractor and he used a technique I had never heard of - a ProAdjuster Machine. There is no twisting, popping, dislocating, pain - nothing! You sit up in a chair. Easy. And, I am back to feeling better in less time than with traditional chiropractic treatment. For us EDSers, the only thing I have noticed as a downfall is occasional bruising, but nothing too bad or painful. It really does work. I have included the following article, written by my actual Chiropractor, Dr. Tony Jensen of Reno, NV, and also a very comprehensive video clip. Enjoy! Happy spines! (And, no, I am not a paid spokesperson! Ha!)
A New Breakthrough in Chiropractic Healing!
What is the ProAdjuster? It is an advanced computer and engineering technology, with a hand-held device that allows Doctors of Chiropractic to both analyze and treat the human body in ways never realized before. Newborns, as well as the elderly with osteoporosis can be treated safely and gently with this innovative mechanism.
How does it work? The ProAdjuster computer system uses a piezoelectric sensor in the soft-tipped instrument to administer a precise oscillating force which measures specific levels of joint motion in a relaxed, effective manner. With the patient sitting in an upright position, the treatment is performed comfortably, without any turning or sudden movements. Data is then transferred and displayed on the computer monitor, allowing the doctor to isolate and treat the problem area faster and more accurately than manual procedures. Following the treatment, the ProAdjuster's sophisticated re-analysis allows both the patient and the doctor to chart all progress toward successful recovery.
If you or someone you care about is experiencing the effects of pinched nerves & you are not under chiropractic care, NOW is the best time to start. Remember, it's always best to rule out pinched nerves before other symptoms start.
For more info [in Northern Nevada], contact Dr. Jensen at Jensen Chiropractic (775) 323-1222.
To find a doctor that uses the ProAdjuster system, visit the ProAdjuster website.

My Sassy Girl (2001)
Based on a series of true stories posted by Ho-sik Kim on the Internet describing his relationship with his girlfriend. These were later transformed into a best-selling book and the movie follows the book closely. It describes the meeting of Kyun-woo (Cha) and an unnamed girl. Kyun-woo is shamed into assisting the girl because the other passengers mistakenly think she is his girlfriend. Once he helps her, Kyun-woo develops a deep sense of responsibility for her which enables him to tolerate (somehow) the girl's abuses.
- The film tells the story of a male college student, Gyeon-woo (Cha Tae-Hyun), and the Girl (Jun Ji-hyun) who is never named in the movie. Gyeon-woo just cannot seem to catch a romantic break. His prospects are so pathetic that even his mother tries to help, telling him to visit his aunt for two reasons. Firstly, because Gyeon-woo reminds his aunt of her son who drowned recently; secondly, because there is a girl his aunt wants to introduce him to. Gyeon-woo repeatedly puts off going to see his aunt.
The movie begins with Gyeon-woo on top of a mountain, speaking wistfully about a girl he knew two years ago that had buried a time capsule with him on that mountain. She had never returned like she'd promised. Next, one sees Gyeon-woo at a photo studio, having his passport photo taken. He is called by his aunt so that she can finally introduce him to the girl she's been trying to set him up with. The movie then flashes back to the past.
At dinner, Gyeon-woo is interrupted by a call from his mother, telling him to visit his aunt and meet a potential date. He refuses and continues to eat with his friends. At the train station on his way to his aunt's, he observes a girl, drunk, standing precariously close to the edge of the train platform as the train approaches; he pulls her to safety just in time. Inside the train, Gyeon-woo cannot help but stare at the girl wavering back and forth. He is slightly attracted to her but repulsed by her drunkenness. Finally, she throws up on a passenger and faints but not before she calls Gyeon-woo "honey". The passenger aggressively chides Gyeon-woo and tells him to take care of his girlfriend. Gyeon-woo, completely flustered, carries her all the way to the nearest hotel. While he is showering, her cell phone rings. Stark naked, he runs out to answer it and informs the caller of their location. Just as Gyeon-woo realizes there are no towels in the shower, a pair of women police officers burst into the room and arrest him.
After getting out of jail where he was bullied by gangsters he goes home. His mother beats him with a vacuum cleaner for not turning up at his aunt's and there is a brief flashback of his lifetime failings as a student. He receives a call from the Girl demanding he meet her and explain why he was naked in bed with her. The Girl's dominating and demanding tone during the telephone call establishes her typical posture as a xanthippe, an attitude she maintains throughout the film. Both at the takeaway joint and at the bar to which she drags him she tells him to order, criticizes his choices and then tells him what to order. Over soju she cries, admits to breaking up with her boyfriend the day before and gets thoroughly drunk, resulting in a second trip to the same hotel.
After this second overnight stay at the hotel, she begins to become a more active part of his life. She visits Gyeon-woo in school and pulls him out of class, telling the teacher that Gyeon-woo is the father of her soon-to-be-aborted baby. The Girl's mood swings wildly from joyful to downright violent, but Gyeon-woo puts up with it and lets her abuse him for her amusement.
She is an aspiring scriptwriter and throughout the movie gives Gyeon-woo three different screenplays from different genres. The first is an action movieThe Demolition Terminatorwhich switches gender roles, symbolically having the Girl save her helpless lover (Gyeon-woo). The second is a wild perversion of a Korean short storySonagiin which the Girl, having died, asks that her lover be buried along with hereven though he's still alive. The resulting situation is quite humorous. The last is a wuxia/samurai movie spoof full of genre clichés and anachronisms. All three feature the same common thread: the Girl is from the future.
Despite all the horrible things Gyeon-woo endures, he is determined to help cure the girl's pain. In one scene, he decides to surprise her for her birthday and takes her on a nighttime trip to an amusement park which ends up quite differently than how he planned: The pair encounter an AWOL soldier who holds them hostage and rants about his misery. Gyeon-woo convinces him to release her, and she in turn convinces the soldier to free Gyeon-woo and go on with his life. Throughout the first half of the movie she is resolute in her pain, dishing it out in plenty. As the second half comes around, however, she begins to change: she shows vulnerability.
The second - more dramatic - half of the movie begins with the Girl waiting for Gyeon-woo after class. They are walking through the university campus when she suddenly complains about the pain caused by her high-heels and convinces Gyeon-woo to switch shoes with her. Overjoyed, she tells him to chase her, which he does wearing her high heels. It starts raining and they return to her home. At her house Gyeon-woo overhears an impassioned argument between the girl and her mother over her relationship with him. He does not hear from her for quite some time and his life without her begins.
However, one day she calls him and tells him to bring her a rose during class to commemorate their 100th-day anniversary. He does this, leading to a touching and romantic scene where he arrives in disguise and is about to leave the packed auditorium but is led to the front by the beautiful melody of George Winston's variations on Pachelbel's Canon in D. The Girl is onstage playing a piano in front of an audience of her all-female classmates who applaud in approval at his romantic gesture - a similar gesture, the viewer is later informed, was performed by her previous boyfriend. As the night further unfolds he is confronted at her house by her parents. Her father is naturally infuriated that she is drunk again and demands a break-up.
Time passes and one day the Girl calls Gyeon-woo to meet her for dinner. When he arrives he is surprised to see her with a date. The Girl introduces Gyeon-woo to him as "her friend." During dinner, the Girl leaves the table briefly, leaving Gyeon-woo and her date by themselves. Gyeon-woo candidly offers advice on how to ensure her happiness by following ten rules. He devised his rules from considerable pain, dedication and devotion to the Girl. When she returns her date begins to explain the rules. It is at this point that she realizes just how well Gyeon-woo understands and cares for her. She abruptly leaves her date and searches for Gyeon-woo. Once reunited the two realise they are at a turning point in their relationship.
They travel to a mountain in the countryside where she unveils a time capsule. During the previous night the couple wrote their true feelings in letters which the Girl says will be buried next to a particular tree on the mountain. They agree to meet again at the tree after two years to read the letters together. After burying the time capsule they go their separate ways.
During the two year span, Gyeon-woo works hard to improve himself in many ways, even writing My Sassy Girl which someone has bought the movie rights to, an event he eagerly anticipates telling the Girl about. When the agreed upon date arrives, he travels to the mountain but the Girl does not show up. Eventually, he opens the time capsule and reads her letter and learns the root of her angst and behavior: Gyeon-woo reminds her of her previous boyfriend who, rather than breaking up with her, actually died before she met Gyeon-woo. All through the time the Girl and Gyeon-woo were seeing each other she had been seeing her dead boyfriend's mother, who wants to introduce her to a nice young man.
A year after Gyeon-woo visits the tree, the Girl finally arrives. Sitting under the tree is an old man. During their conversation the old man reveals the secret of the tree, that it is not the same tree; the original tree had been struck and killed by lightning a year before and a similar tree had been planted by a young man so that someone special wasn't sad, and that he has read the letters. The Girl says she had hoped that destiny would bring the couple together during the two years. As the girl begins to read the letter, she sees a UFO (time machine) flying away. This lead her to believe that the old man was Gyeon-woo from the future.The Girl then tries to call Gyeon-woo repeatedly, but she was informed that number is either changed or doesn't exist.
The film then cuts to Gyeon-woo entering a subway station, wearing the same suit he was wearing at the beginning of the movie. The flashback has ended and continuity is resumed from right after Gyeon-woo leaves the photo-studio. Gyeon-woo is caught outside the shutting doors of a train, presumably ignorant at first of the Girl's presence on the train but after a few seconds of staring he seems to realise whom it is he sees from behind. As the train pulls out he runs along but has to give up.
At lunch with her deceased boyfriend's mother after a year-and-a-half, the Girl is surprised to hear a familiar voice apologize for his lateness. The mother introduces her nephew Gyeon-woo, whom she has been trying to introduce to the Girl for years. The mother, who is Gyeon-woo's aunt, tells the Girl to go out with him, hoping that he could make life easier for her. She then tells Gyeon-woo that the Girl can give advice to him about his impending trip to England, to which he replies, "I don't have to go anymore." The pair hold hands under the table and the Girl says she thinks she met a man from the future (Gyeon-woo's future self). The final shot flashes back to the anniversary scene, where the pair show their ID while entering a bar in school uniforms.

In these nine articles, contributors examine how this form of dance developed and how Gennaro Magri, its foremost choreographer and skilled practitioner, devoted his career to it. Topics include the rise of the Grotteschi in the Italian theater of the eighteenth century, Magri's work as a dancer, his apprenticeship as a choreographer, and his defense of the form in Naples, the international elements of dance training at the time, the steps and gestures of grotesque dancing, and the practicalities of putting to gather a pantomime ballet in the Grotteschi manner. Appendices give scenarios, tabulations of companies, and examples of the Grotteschi life and work. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

If we told you this keyboard went for around $600, you'd say we were taking crazy pills, right? Well, that's the deal, pal. This keyboard is going to cost you a sum similar to that of a budget laptop or a used motorcycle. But this isn't just any keyboard. This one's something special.
So what justifies the sticker shock? The gist of it is that this is essentially a full-featured netbook built into a keyboard chassis. It sports wireless HDMI connectivity, allowing you not only to control the action on your TV, but to actually broadcast that data feed directly from this device.
It's packing a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 16 or 32GB solid-state hard disk, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI, and a rechargeable battery. And if you're too busy to update your Facebook status with your reaction to the last Heroes episode, you can just hop on the mobile site, right from the keyboard, using the on-board display.
Apparently ASUS is so excited to share this new super-keyboard with the world, they've moved the release date of the device from May all the way up to next month, so you better start saving, like, now.

NEW LP "Less Medicine" OUT MAY 12th 2017
Thomas Coles – Guitar-Vocals-Lyrics
Luke Thomson – Guitar-Vocals
T-bone Miller – Drums-Vocals
Wayne Garette – Bass
"The Rumble aren't your run-of-the-mill rock and roll louts: they're a tour de force, what would have happened if Gram Parsons had died in the arms of Patti Smith instead of alone in Joshua Tree; they're a subterranean, mutanoid Ziggy Stardust obsessed with chasing girls instead of stars; they're Scandinavian leather pressed into hot flesh on an eternal summer night; they're a grinning mouthful of razor blades that wants to turn the dance floor inside-out. Load up on PBRs and head into the big-top, The Rumble are coming to take you away."
-Sebestian Buzzalino, Unfolding Creative Photography
The Rumble is a four piece rock and roll band based in Calgary Alberta. Diversity and showmanship have been the main reasons The Rumble has continued to draw crowds in the bands short existence. The four members of The Rumble have a similar idea of what a good rock and roll show should be like, while they draw inspiration from different genres. Thomas Coles (lead vocals and rhythm guitar) sings lyrics varying from soft and heartfelt to silly and belligerent. Travis Miller (drums) is proudly introduced to audiences as the loudest drummer in the world, drawing everyone's attention no matter how big or small the venue is. Wayne Garrette (bass) is a true musical encyclopaedia and he can tie the rhythm section together throughout the frantic change of pace that a Rumble set involves. Luke Thomson (lead guitar and backup vocals) gives The Rumble a rough and rootsy edge, drawing his sound mostly from country and blues music. From one song to another, The Rumble could be defined as punk, blues, country, reggae, soul, garage, fuzz, even easy listening.

Thanks in advance!! Saurabh Mehta 2012-12-26T19:00:25Z How to display a list of default friends for a user Saurabh Mehta https://web.liferay.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=18839628 2012-12-26T18:40:06Z 2012-12-26T18:40:06Z Hi All,

I need to create a page which displays default friend list of a user. Default friends are as below

Taking an example of a school.

1. There are persons with two different roles. i.e(ROLE_STUDENT and ROLE_TEACHER)
2. A user with ROLE as "ROLE_TEACHER" logs in to the portal then on his home page I need to show two entirely different sections of his friends. The first block should contain all the persons having "ROLE_TEACHER" and the other block should contain the list of persons with "ROLE_STUDENT".

Please provide your inputs how this can be achieved.

Thanks!! Saurabh Mehta 2012-12-26T18:40:06Z

In Her Eyes
Chapter Sixteen: Happy Endings
Their high school graduation was bittersweet. The fresh graduates loitered around the entrance of the school, which was appropriately dressed for pictures, the floor lightly dusted with cherry blossom petals.
Rukia and Ichigo stood with their friends, lightly bantering and chuckling at precious memories. Despite the momentous occasion, a sad air lingered among them. Rukia looked through the profiles of their graduating class, stopping to stare at the picture of Yume above an italicized "In loving memory".
"She would have loved to finally leave school." Grimmjaw interrupted her pity party, pulling off his graduation cap and scratching his bright blue head.
"What did she want to be?" Rukia asked.
"I don't really remember. I never really did listen to her." He replied somberly.
The older teen glared at Ichigo. "What. I can't say good riddance?"
Ichigo sighed, "You can."
"It was a trick question, I didn't care about your answer." He smirked.
A silence fell among the trio, quickly interrupted by Isshin's scream.
"Look at this! You're picturesque! Quickly, stand closer!"
Grimmjaw rolled his eyes, "Bye."
Isshin stood from his embarrassing 'photographer' stance and stared hard at Grimmjaw, "Boy, when you realize the importance of memories, you will be far too old."
There was a power that seemed to emanate from Isshin at his remark. Grimmjaw reluctantly stayed, grimacing in the photo that Isshin took.
"Thank you." Isshin said curtly, and noticed Tatsuki with Karin and cajoled over.
"What are you planning to do after this?" Rukia asked. Ichigo feigned interest, and watched as Grimmjaw shrugged.
"I always enjoyed cars and all that crap. At least I won't have to go to higher schooling for it." He replied. "What about you, Kurosaki? I imagine that you'll become a doctor? Follow the old man?"
Ichigo shrugged, "I just might, but that's none of your business."
"You're right." Grimmjaw agreed, for once. "I'm going. Hope things go well for you guys and whatever."
"Yeah. You too." Rukia smiled politely.
Grimmjaw tried to smile, only to let his mouth slant awkwardly. He patted Rukia on the head. "Don't feel too bad."
Rukia watched as Grimmjaw walked away. "I somehow have a feeling that we'll see him again."
"I hope you're wrong, he's annoying as hell." Ichigo muttered, scratching the back of his head.
"What part? That he matches you evenly on most fronts? Or that he seems to still have feelings for me?" Rukia looked up at Ichigo with an amused face.
"You wanna go?" He asked jokingly, trapping her head in a play chokehold, Rukia laughed as she smacked his arm.
"Rukia." Byakuya glared at the pair, who quickly straightened themselves.
"Dad." She said, looking up at him nervously.
"Congratulations," he placed a hand on her head. "I've got something for you." He gave her a brown envelope.
"Thank you so much," she said with a soft smile. She pulled out a photo of when she was a baby, her mother holding her with a large smile and Byakuya still serious but softly looking at his wife.
"Don't forget where you came from." Byakuya said, watching as Rukia began to tear.
"I won't." She smiled and Ichigo couldn't help but smile himself.
Suddenly Ichigo was nearly knocked to the ground by a tackle.
"Ichigo! I'm going to miss you so much! Are you going to miss me?" Keigo said excitedly, ruffling Ichigo's hair.
The rest of the gang caught up with the village idiot, and Inoue could only look at Ichigo apologetically. Ichigo shoved Keigo off and the teen fell to the ground in dismay.
"I tried to stop him, Kurosaki-kun." She said.
Byakuya took this chance to disappear quietly.
"I'll see you at dinner time." He patted his daughter's head then left for his black Mercedes.
"Rukia your speech was excellent." Uryu said.
"Thanks, I had a lot of experience to draw from." She joked, and the group wasn't sure how to react.
"Sorry, I mean, if we didn't seem to help." Inoue said sadly, looking away.
"Don't worry about it," Rukia replied, "I'm just glad you guys even bothered to talk to a little blind girl."
"She admits she's little." Ichigo snickered, only to receive a punch in the gut.
"What are you guys planning to do to celebrate?" Rukia asked, as she pushed Ichigo's counter attacks away with ease.
"Dinner with family, for now I'm planning to go home and read." Ishida replied.
"I'm going out with Tatsuki's family, they've always been sweet to me, I'm planning to buy dinner for them this time." Inoue smiled.
"I'm going to go home and play video games," Keigo grinned, "to think that I actually passed exams is incredible. Time to reward myself."
"What about you two?" Ishida asked.
Rukia burst into her home and ran into her room.
"Rukia?" Byakuya called out, his voice echoing throughout the large house.
"Can't talk, I have to meet Ichigo soon!" She exclaimed as she dug through her closet.
Byakuya climbed up their spiral stairs and knocked on her door. "What's going on?"
"He's going to show me something new!" She said excitedly while swinging her door open.
Byakuya tried to stay calm and considered what else Ichigo could show her that hasn't- he blinked. "Rukia hold on."
His daughter paused, the tone of the statement was only heard when he had some lecturing to do.
"Yes?" Rukia asked, her blue and white sun dress swayed as she walked towards her dad.
"You are a responsible girl, and you are a smart lady, right?" Byakuya said.
"I am." She replied, looking up at him in confusion.
"Whatever Ichigo ends up showing you… please do it safely so as to ensure that… you avoid consequences that… can forever change your life." Byakuya wondered why Hisana never talked to Rukia about the topic of sex, then realized that she probably spent more time worrying about the limitations the world put on her daughter than anything else.
Rukia's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Drat. Byakuya hoped she'd catch on, and was slightly surprised at her daughter's innocence despite her rebellious nature. He led her downstairs and they sat across each other on the leather couches.
Byakuya cleared his throat and Rukia tensed. "I know it would have been more appropriate to have this talk with your mother, but seeing that she's no longer with us and that you've come to age, I think now is the best time."
Rukia stared at him waiting for his lecture, which she always found lengthy and a bit over the top.
"When a girl and a boy become interested in each other, sometimes that interest becomes intense." He began, deciding to explain the process as textbook as possible. "That intensity can manifest in different ways, through blushing, avoidance, flirting, or arousal."
Rukia's face changed completely at the last word, she turned red and covered her face. "Dad, I know what sex is." She grumbled behind her hands.
"Sorry?" Byakuya asked, unable to hear her clearly.
"I know what sex is." She said louder, still not dropping her hands.
"Do you?"
"Yes… we learned it in Biology." Rukia muttered, dropping her hands and looking away.
"Oh, good. Then you know its dangers and precautions to prevent severe consequences right?" Byakuya asked.
"I do." Rukia said, she suddenly felt really small in front of her dad.
"Did you want to start on birth control pills? We can talk to-"
"Dad it's fine. I didn't even think… Ichigo wouldn't-"
"He is still a male, Rukia." Byakuya interrupted.
"God, you make men sound like animals." Rukia retorted, glaring at her dad.
"Because, intrinsically, most men are." Byakuya finished.
There was a knock at the door.
"It's him," Rukia said nervously.
"Remember your defensive skills," Byakuya said.
"Dad!" She exclaimed as he stood and led her to the door.
Byakuya pulled the dark wooden door open slowly. Ichigo stood on the porch clad in casual wear.
"I expect her home before 9PM, Kurosaki. And don't do anything you'll regret. You don't want me coming after you." Byakuya said, staring down at the teen.
Ichigo nodded, "I know the rules."
Byakuya retreated and revealed Rukia in her dress. Ichigo blushed a little at the sight of her in casual wear, realizing that he didn't see her in dresses as often as he liked.
"Ready?" He asked coolly as Rukia fumbled with her cardigan and keys.
Rukia blushed as her dad reappeared and closed the door for her.
"What's wrong?" Ichigo leaned down to look at her face as they walked down the street.
Rukia cursed, she was now thinking about- "Nothing," she muttered, and pushed Ichigo away.
"Are you blushing?" Ichigo asked, his voice light with amusement.
"I am not blushing." She retorted, looking away.
Ichigo snickered. "We're almost there," he replied, "we've got to hop on the train though, if that's okay."
"Yeah," Rukia replied.
"Are you sure everything's okay?"
"Everything's fine, strawberry. Lead the way." Rukia looked up at him with a smile.
Ichigo and Rukia found themselves in the middle of afternoon rush hour. They stood close in the midst of the crowds at the station.
"Stay close to me." Ichigo said, pulling her closer by the shoulders as the train pulled to a stop. Rukia felt herself heat up at Ichigo's touch, cursing her father's terrible misunderstanding.
The train doors opened and commuters trickled in. Soon, the train resembled a sardine can as people stood shoulder to shoulder, trying their best to stay upright as the vehicle moved. Ichigo and Rukia were sandwiched by the opposite doors. Ichigo hovered over Rukia and did his best to provide her with ample space but found it difficult.
"Sorry, I-" Ichigo blushed, looking away.
"It's alright," Rukia replied, glad to realize that she wasn't the only one realizing how intimate the situation was. "You can come a bit closer."
At this, Ichigo stepped in closer, their bodies now in full contact. Rukia was sure Ichigo could probably hear her heart racing, but did her best to stay calm. He noted how sturdy he was despite how thin he sometimes appeared. In the past couple of years he had gotten into sports and the effects of rigorous training molded Ichigo's body into one that could make even grandmothers blush.
"Are you alright?" Ichigo asked, looking down at Rukia.
"I'm as fine as anyone could be in such a crowded space." She smiled up at him and she spied his cheeks tinge pink.
"Yeah, well." Ichigo muttered, and he slid an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into him. He rested his chin on her head.
Rukia felt she was going to have a heat stroke in his arms. His body felt incredible against hers and as the ride progressed, she slowly returned his hold.
"We're here." Ichigo said, still not letting go of her as they waited for the crowds to clear. "Downtown in spring is always so busy." He muttered, grasping her hand.
"I've never been here." Rukia said, finding the unfamiliarity of the area a bit uncomfortable.
"I imagine Byakuya wouldn't let you, it's too crowded and noisy - easy to lose anyone blind or not." Ichigo led them out and they walked towards the mall.
"It's strangely wonderful to see." Rukia remarked, craning her head as she looked at the tall buildings, decorations and bustling people. "So many different faces."
Ichigo smiled as she tugged him towards a flower shop.
"Ah these, these are familiar." She said, taking in the scents. "I could always tell the difference between flowers, something my mother prided herself in teaching me."
"Do you have any favourites?" Ichigo asked, bending slightly to watch her face.
"Lavender." She replied simply.
"They match your eyes, young lady." The shopkeeper, a small old man, handed her a small bunch.
"Oh, I couldn't-"
"Nonsense, take them. Your handsome boyfriend will pay." The shopkeeper smirked at Ichigo and Ichigo shook his head with a smile as he pulled out his wallet.
"They look beautiful." Rukia said, bringing them to her nose.
"Not as beautiful as you," The shopkeeper grinned.
"Alright, quit sweet talking her, I ain't buying anymore flowers old man." Ichigo said, pulling Rukia aside.
"A sale's a sale, young man." The old man snickered as they left the store.
"Was this what you wanted to show me?" Rukia asked, smiling up at the tall teen as he grabbed her hand.
"Nah, though this was a nice surprise for the both of us. Now I know what will calm you no matter what." Ichigo smirked.
"And you know that you piss me off the most, right?" Rukia said, smirking back.
"I know," Ichigo said almost proudly, "but at least I'll know now to pull up a bunch of flowers every time you're on a rampage."
"I will pretend that you do not know so I can be surprised every time." Rukia laughed.
Ichigo smiled as he opened the door into the cool shopping centre. He lead Rukia along the stores and into a small shop hidden in one of the dead-ends of the large structure.
"Hey! Is that Kurosaki?" A man with tattoos sat behind the front desk, his hair black and spiky like Ichigo's.
"Hisagi," Ichigo smirked, scratching the back of his head. "Didn't think you'd still be here, man."
Hisagi shrugged, "A job's a job." He noticed Rukia standing beside Ichigo and smiled at her. "Got a date eh? Finally stopped scowling?"
"You'd be surprised to know that I'm one of the only people who knows that he scowls to maintain a reputation." Rukia said. Hisagi laughed.
"Kurosaki used to grin like a fool as a kid, guess you gotta look tough for the ladies huh?" Hisagi smirked at Rukia who shook her head fondly.
"Just give me some tokens already," Ichigo said with a scowl as he placed a few bills on the counter.
"Coming up," Hisagi placed the tokens on the glass counter and slid it towards Ichigo. "There'll be a lot of kids coming in today, so watch yourselves."
Ichigo led Rukia into the play area and she looked up at him in confusion.
"Are these games?" She asked.
"Arcade games." He clarified, "you can play whichever one you want but on one condition."
Rukia looked up at him in suspicion, they both knew how competitive she could become when given the chance.
"What?" She asked coolly.
"With every win I get, I get to give you a kiss." He said, looking at her coyly.
Rukia blushed, "And what about if I win?"
"If you win, you get to decide what we do next." Ichigo smirked.
Rukia brought her hand to her chin in thought. "Let's make this more interesting - if I win more games than you, you have to do whatever I want."
Ichigo shrugged, "If you win more games."
"I may have been blind for most of my life until recently, but I still have lightning reflexes, Kurosaki." She challenged as she rolled up the sleeves of her cardigan.
"You haven't even used one of these things in your life." Ichigo replied, leading her to a large contraption with detachable guns.
"That's fine, you'll need a handicap against me." She smirked.
"Oh now you're really asking for it." Ichigo retorted, shoving the tokens into its slots.
"House of the Dead…" Rukia read aloud, "Zombies?"
Ichigo proceeded to instruct Rukia on how to play, shooting outside the screen to reload and so forth.
"This is fascinating," Rukia replied, as her eyes lit up at the sequences on screen.
"Don't become too distracted or you'll lose." Ichigo smirked.
Rukia smirked and narrowed her eyes at Ichigo, "You're just trying to make me angry aren't you?"
"It's starting!" Ichigo said, turning his attention to the screen. Rukia jumped and did the same. They spent several silent minutes shooting their enemies.
Soon, the game ended, and exclaimed 'Player 1 wins!' in far too many exclamation points.
"What happened to your lightning fast reflexes?" Ichigo asked, placing the toy gun back in its place.
"I was a hundred points behind you, that's pretty close." Rukia said, "besides, this is my first time, you can't expect me to beat someone like you."
"But I win, so I get my prize." Ichigo smirked, holding Rukia's hand.
"Oh fine, just don't make a big show of it." Rukia stepped forward and closed her eyes.
"Who said I'd redeem them right away?" Ichigo said, tugging his girlfriend to another game.
Rukia felt her heart flutter, "Wait, hold on-"
"We've still got tokens, which means there's still more games. Let's see this to the end, shall we?" Ichigo inserted more coins into a racing game.
For a few hours, Rukia and Ichigo duelled until they ran out of coins. Surprisingly, they began to talk less and less as their concentration and competitiveness increased. In between games, they would taunt each other and argue about which to play next. Rukia found she was best at anything that required timing and precision while Ichigo was best at chaotic games or ones that required hand-eye coordination.
"You guys were hell bent on whatever the hell you were doing," Hisagi remarked as the pair unloaded a large amount of tickets on him. "Did you have fun?"
"We need a tie breaker Hisagi," Ichigo said, glaring at Rukia. "This one insists that 'it's not fair that a formerly blind girl be so heavily tested on her hand-eye coordination'."
"What about rock-paper-scissors?" Hisagi laughed at the pair's confused faces.
"Fine, based on chance anyway." Ichigo said, rolling up his sleeves.
They stuck out their hands and decided to see who would win out of three attempts. Rukia noted how large Ichigo's hands were compared to hers, their fists remarkably different when they displayed their decisions.
"Hah." Ichigo smirked, winning the game two out of three with rock. Rukia sighed, and shrugged.
"Gentleman's honour, you won, Kurosaki."
"And you also won this," Hisagi added, handing Ichigo a medium sized pristine white bunny plushie.
Rukia's eyes widened. "Look… Look at its bow!" She said happily, pointing at the large bow resting on its fluffy chest.
"You can have this," Ichigo smirked, handing Rukia the stuffed toy and struggling due to its size.
"Can you hold my flowers?" Rukia asked, handing Ichigo her small lavender bouquet. Ichigo received it and led her out.
"Thanks Hisagi," Ichigo smirked.
"You guys won it, all I do is dispense it." Hisagi smiled in return and watched as his old friend left the store.
On the train, Ichigo and Rukia sat beside each other idly chatting. The pair gathered stares due to the stuffed bunny resting on Rukia's lap, but they were far too immersed in each other to realize.
"There's one more game I want you to try, since you seem to enjoy the stuff." Ichigo said.
"Do contest rules still apply?" She asked with a smirk.
"No, no, but it'll make you want to kill me once I beat you." He replied.
"Well, we'll see." Rukia smiled.
They walked down the streets of Karakura in relative silence. Ichigo held Rukia's hand gently, and in his other was the quaint bouquet of lavender. They entered the Kurosaki residence and he led her to the living room. Kon barked excitedly and lay by the coffee table, watching Ichigo set up.
"It's called Mario Kart." Ichigo explained, pulling out a pristine white device and handing Rukia what looked to her like a remote control.
She received the device and then gently placed the bunny on his couch. "Does it have something to do with carts?" Rukia asked innocently, and Ichigo couldn't help but smile.
"It is in the name." He replied as he sat cross legged beside her on the floor.
"Shut up." Rukia replied, punching him on the shoulder.
Ichigo laughed and they began to play.
"Oh, it's a racing game," Rukia remarked, trying to figure out how the buttons were working as the countdown began.
The pair took off, and Rukia shot past Ichigo. She followed as the AIs did and picked up coloured boxes, though she did run into many bananas.
"Where are you? I don't see you with the rest of us at all," Rukia asked, as she glanced at his half of the television screen.
"I'm just letting you try out the controls, let me cruise." Ichigo replied, his competitive face totally gone.
The next round came and Rukia picked up the game very quickly, easily passing the computers and even Ichigo at some points.
"Get your game together, mr. second place." Rukia taunted, as she sped in front of Ichigo.
Suddenly, she heard strange alarm noises and became disoriented.
"What's that?" Rukia asked, still keeping up her speed.
"It's a blue shell." Ichigo said simply.
"What? Is it coming for me? How do I-" She was interrupted by her cart exploding and Ichigo zooming by. "That's not fair!" Rukia exclaimed, shoving Ichigo.
"And you were taunting me like a fool," Ichigo smirked as he reached the finish line and ended the race.
"One more round!" Rukia said furiously, positioning herself to prepare for Ichigo's defeat.
"No," Ichigo said, putting his controller down.
"What? That's hardly fair!" Rukia said.
"I want to do something else." Ichigo replied as he turned off the television.
"What?" Rukia asked, checking her watch. "You've got to drop me home in a couple of minutes. There's not much we can do- perhaps another movie?" She asked excitedly. "I have heard of the animated movies, or what was it Keigo liked to talk about? Anime?"
"No." Ichigo replied, he kissed her on the cheek.
"What was that?" Rukia asked, blushing.
"I want to redeem my kisses." He said with a smirk.
"You coy ass." Rukia said, smacking him on the shoulder.
"Hey, I won fair and square." Ichigo replied, leaning in for another on her lips.
"Just- wait- what about your family?"
"Dad's at work until later and the twins are on an outing with their friends, they won't be back for a while." He said, kissing her on the lips again.
"Are you sure?" Rukia asked, glancing around the house.
Ichigo kissed her on the lips again, "I'm sure."
"Hey! I am counting you know. You have ten left." Rukia said, still blushing.
Ichigo leaned in closer and Rukia found her back against the couch as Ichigo gave her a longer kiss on the lips.
"9." She said, meeting his eyes momentarily until he went in for another.
Ichigo pulled her closer and she obliged, her heart still in her throat. He kissed her gently, and persisted until they broke away for a breath.
"I'll have to count the longer ones as two." Rukia mused. Ichigo smirked, then picked her up and set her down on the couch. She lay back as he climbed on top of her, kissing her neck as he did so. "6, 5, 4," She continued in a whisper and felt his hands travel up her back.
He leaned in and kissed her hard. She let out a small moan as he continued, and his hands continued to travel along her body. Rukia flung her hands around his neck and pulled him in closer, Ichigo replied by holding her tighter, his fingers tangled in her black hair. They broke apart, panting, and he smiled, placing a kiss on her forehead.
"Negative one." She smiled. He shook his head with a laugh.
Ichigo checked his watch and saw that it was nearly nine. "Crap, your dad's going to kill me if I don't get you home." He said, standing quickly, and bringing Rukia up with him.
"You're not planning to carry me to my house are you?"
"I can if you want me to." Ichigo smirked proudly.
"Put me down." Rukia said curtly, and Ichigo placed her on her feet gently.
They walked down the streets of Karakura as the darkness of night began to loom in. They arrived at Rukia's door step and waved to Byakuya eyeing them from the second floor window. Byakuya narrowed his eyes and disappeared with the close of the curtains.
"I had fun today." Rukia said with a smile.
Ichigo smirked, "It's been a while since I've shown you something new, right?" Rukia nodded.
"Good night, Ichigo." She turned and twisted the knob of the door only to be pulled back into Ichigo's arms.
Ichigo gave her another deep kiss, and she did her best not to melt.
"Good night." He pulled away, smirking at the girl blushing under the light of fluorescent bulbs.
"Negative two." She smirked, and punched him in chest lightly.
Ichigo let her go and she slipped into her house with a small smile. He turned and let out a huge sigh, realizing that he had spent most of the day breathless around her. Ichigo wondered what it would be like to be able to kiss her like that every day.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed the reboot! I reread the older chapters and was just shaking my head so many times in so many different places, so I decided to scrap most but keep some key plot points and make it more in character and a bit more… character oriented. Thanks for reading! :)

RBS et al didn't need to invest that much in tech ....
...... as they used to have a large number of highly skilled techs that maintained existing systems while upgrading others for newer functions. They had a history with all of the systems and knew what would work and what wouldn't even before testing had started.
This would have allowed them to replace and upgrade over time with minimal disruption.
Then they decided, in order to save some money on the balance sheet and give some more clueless middle management extra bonuses, to offshore all of it to techs with no experience of the systems and their quirks who were taught by people who did not have that level of experience either.
So now we have a majority state owned bank losing more money through compensation than it saves from off shoring having to spend even more money to replace systems their 8000 mile away techs are unable to repair.

Salisbury, NC (PressExposure) April 09, 2009 -- Killer Marketing Arsenal announces the addition of a syndicated classified advertising service to their members. The service offers syndication of classified ads to over 200 sites at a low, recession-busting price.
Internet marketer Jinger Jarrett, owner of Killer Marketing Arsenal, has used bum marketing to market her business since 2007. Bum marketing is a technique that uses free or very low cost methods to promote businesses and products. Although she had success in using other marketing techniques, bum marketing put her business on steroids.
One method she commonly uses is classified advertising. The major draw back has been the need to submit a single ad multiple times to many different classified advertising sites. This was time consuming and inefficient. She wanted more traffic with less work.
"Classified ad syndication is a simple and effective way to market your business," Jarrett said. "Everyone understands classifieds and when people are looking to buy things they often visit classified ad sites. What's even better is that with online classified ad sites, ads get picked up by the search engines. A well optimized ad gets more traffic just because it's search engine ready. It really helps the customer get more traffic without a lot of extra work."
The solution was to syndicate ads the same way as articles. She wanted a marketing system that was easy, quick to implement and would turn a profit for the end user.
Jarrett searched for such a system for two years with no luck, so she built her own. The question was how to put it together in a way that helped her customers make money without a steep learning curve. The ultimate system couldn't be complicated or technical, meaning customers didn't want to have to build websites or lists.
In 2009, Jarrett discovered the elements needed to create such a system. She built a classified advertising website and wrote an eBook to explain the system and how it works.
The overall strategy to this comprehensive solution is simplicity. Customers write their ads and post them to the Killer Marketing Arsenal site. The ads are then syndicated across a broad spectrum of classified sites.
Based on the principles of bum marketing, customers write as many ads as possible for their products or services. Writing and posting five ads per day only takes about an hour and newbies may build an entire business around this strategy.
Jarrett calls her system the "Killer Marketing Arsenal." The [http://www.ezine.KillerMarketingArsenal.com] system contains all of the elements a new business person needs to learn internet marketing including a 52 week eCourse, step by step instructions on how to implement the classified ads system. It also includes software to allow customers to semi automate posting to sites like Craig's List, which doesn't allow auto posting.
The Killer Marketing Arsenal syndication system allows customers to have ads posted to sites like Facebook, MySpace, Backpage and other high traffic sites without any additional work. The strategy is 100% white hat, which means it is acceptable to the search engines.
Jarrett's solution is much more affordable than other current classified syndication sites and she allows her customers to syndicate as many ads as they like.
For a limited time Jarrett is offering a discount on full memberships, as well as a free membership for those who are curious about the system.

A home owner from Jacksonville, Florida, United States says:

I bought a home built in 1906 and the sleeping porch has Rixon casement mechanisms. I need 1 or 2 replacements for windows we are rebuilding. Hope you can tell me where to find them.
Thanks, Mike
Thanks, Mike
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
November 20, 2012
Good afternoon, and thank you for posting. Unfortunately, I do not believe that this type of operator is available any longer. However, please see our 39-268 and compare its dimensions to your own hardware. Could you use this as a possible substitute? Let me know what you think.
A quick learner from Jacksonville, Florida, United States says:
November 20, 2012
Thanks for your reply. I was afraid you would say it's no longer available so I will check out your recommendation for a substitute. I believe I need 2 so I hope your operator will work. I'll get back to you.
Thanks again, Mike
Thanks again, Mike

Beyonce 'planning Destiny's Child reunion without dad'
Beyoncé Knowles is hoping to reunite with her Destiny's Child bandmates without her father being involved, it has been claimed.
The girl band was made up of the 33-year-old, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland and had massive success from the late 90s until they disbanded in 2006. After reuniting last week for a one-off surprise performance, the women reportedly want to record a ten-year reunion album and head out on tour, but Beyoncé's dad seems to be the stumbling block.
"Although Destiny's Child is made up of the three ladies, Beyoncé's father and former manager Mathew Knowles owns one-fourth of the group as well," a source close to the group revealed to the Daily Mail Online. "Anytime they do anything under the name Destiny's Child, he has involvement in it and money from it."
At the Stellar Gospel Awards in Las Vegas last weekend, Beyoncé and Kelly joined Michelle on stage to sing a gospel medley that included the song Alpha & Omega and the hit single Say Yes from her Journey to Freedom album. However the ladies were introduced by their individual names, not as Destiny's Child and it seems this is the main factor stopping a reunion tour from being announced.
"The problem is they can't figure out how to nix Mathew from the deal. They all want more than anything to give the fans one last run of the group, especially since they all have their own individual success, but don't want to deal with Mathew," the source explained.
At one time, the 63-year-old managed each of the women's individual careers as well as the Grammy-winning group. Kelly was first to fire him in 2009, then Michelle in 2010 before Beyoncé cut all dealings with her dad after accusations of him stealing money from her in 2011.

I don't know if we get many more C-5Ms, or not. The costs overruns are really eating up money that can be used elsewear.

More C-17s on the horizon?
|Quoting KC135TopBoom (Reply 5):
Boeing has talked about a C-17B for years now. It is a strech of the C-17A.
|Quoting KC135TopBoom (Reply 5):
Boeing has talked about a C-17B for years now. It is a strech of the C-17A.
|Quoting N328KF (Reply 6):
WSJ reported on this last year. They didn't say anything about a stretch, but they did say that it would be able to land on sandy beaches. They made it sound like Boeing would simply introduce the B variant inline on the production process.
|Quoting Fridgmus (Reply 7):
Anybody have any idea when (or if) we'll see a C-17B?
|Quoting HanginOut (Reply 8):
I guess that would depend on whether the C-17 is still in production (which means they could probably do it within a few years), or if they decide to offer it as an upgrade option (in which case that will be many years down the road - at which time they will need to upgrade the current birds).
|Quoting ZANL188 (Reply 10):
How is the hydraulic accumulator problem affecting C-5 readiness now? I understand 9 Bs were grounded waiting on the redesigned accumulator.
Will the accumulator upgrade be done inconjunction with the M upgrade or is it simple enough that it can be done at home station?
|Quoting KC135TopBoom (Reply 2):
The costs overruns are really eating up money that can be used elsewear.
|Quoting ZANL188 (Reply 10):
The sad fact is that the C-17s are getting pounded. They're high-use birds, both because they're very useful and the fact that they've got a good dispatch rate means they're able to be in the air a lot.
|Quoting Galaxy5007 (Reply 12):
I should mention as well, the APU Accumulator is used for two things, APU start, and MLG emergency extension. After RERP, it will only be used for MLGEE. The new APUs are electric start.
|Quoting Venus6971 (Reply 15):
wonder if this is going to affect the E-3 fleet since they use the same APU with 2 start accumulators.

Ever wondered how cool it would be if your childhood teddy bear came to life? Then prepare to get the crap freaked out of you by this trailer for Gooby. While it may initially seem to be a parody, this thing has Eugene Levy in it, guys! And Robbie Coltrane! And that guy from JAG! And it also features the depth of at least one screenwriter's creative depravity. Gooby, never ever enter my mind again.
Hat tips to Videogum!

What Bourbon Street offers is 13 blocks of New Orleans history, restaurants, bars, cafes, souvenir shops, and New Orleans' culture. Stop for a bite to eat at the popular Galatoire's, admire the architecture, do some shopping, and then stick around for nightfall when things really start heating up on Bourbon. If you're lucky enough to be in town for Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street is the place where it all happens, so definitely join in the festivities!
The French Quarter is actually home to one of the most famous New Orleans attractions, Bourbon Street, but it is much more than that. It is the oldest neighborhood in the city, and a lot of its historic buildings were built when the Spanish ruled the city in the late 18th century. It's a wonderful area to spend an afternoon snapping pictures, perusing the streets and their shops and cafes, and generally just taking in the historic scenery and architecture.
You don't have to be an art fanatic to fall in love with Royal Street, although many art lovers do flock to this street's section in the Upper French Quarter to window shop. There are dozens of antique shops, beautiful high-end hotels, and art galleries to appreciate, and you don't have to purchase anything to have fun. Though a portion of the street is quite upscale, an equal amount also includes budget options for the travelers who are trying to keep their spending at a minimum on their trip while still enjoying their time.
History doesn't stop after the streets of downtown New Orleans. In fact, one could say it begins in City Park. This park is home to the world's largest collection of live oak trees, many being more than 600 years old. Being that it was founded in 1853, it is also one of the United States' oldest parks. There are a number of lovely bridges and roads to lead you around the ponds, through the oaks, and up to some of the many sculptures in the park. Take your lunch to go and enjoy it while you explore one of the most stunning urban public parks the country has to offer!
Located in the heart of the French Quarter, Jackson Square is a gorgeous way to spend an afternoon. It's a National Historic Landmark, so it's easy on the eyes to say the least. The square itself was designed after the famous Place des Vosges in Paris, France. In the center you'll see the equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson, for whom the square is named, as well as the St. Louis Cathedral.

Steven Seagal, Aikido legend, gourmand and man of exactly one facial expression is, again, taking revenge.
His opponent this time: the population of Arizona.
Yes, 7 years after Arnold Schwarzenegger made his dent as the Governator of California, Steven Seagal is (finally) considering running for the highest office of the Great Canyon State.
The On Deadly Ground star told KNXV-TV (via IGN)
"Joe Arpaio (aka the toughest sheriff of America) and I were talking about me running for governor in Arizona which was kind of a joke. But I suppose I would remotely consider it...but probably I would have a lot of other responsibilities that may be more important to address."
I don't even want to know what other responsibilities Seagal has... except if they involve chicken. As I said: the man has a sweet tooth and I'd like to learn from the best.
If Seagal san should indeed decide to run for office and if, due to some sort of barely concealed suicidal mass impulse, the constituents of Arizona decide that what they need for Governor carries the name "Seagal," I here and now swear I'll eat my socks. Not my new socks mind you. I'll find the woolen ones Grandma knit and devour them WITHOUT ketchup.
Jesse Ventura, and now, gulp, ?
May the Lord have mercy on us all!
To end on a high note, here is the actor's most profound moment ever caught on film. Topical too:

I'm learning something about my dear new Southern friends… it's all about who you know – not what you know. Extra certifications, 3.9 GPA, and hours of professional development be damned.. I've only lived there for a little over three years. My connections are thin, therefore, my job opportunities non-existent.
I've been pulling what strings I can these past few weeks. Obviously things got a little slow since schools been out for Christmas break. Before that though – I was texting old parents from the preschool where I worked to see if they had any school board connections, emailing teachers and principals that I connected with during student teaching to see what they could do for me – basically doing everything I could. Yet, still no email or phone call. I feel like I'm on the outside of some elite club that I need into very badly. There's nothing wrong with me people – just let me in!!
I'm hoping when I get back from MI and when school gets back in, principals will start posting more jobs and start hiring. The rumor is that teachers are going to be retiring in my county in January. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping what little connections I do have will pull though for me. Otherwise I guess I'll be back to subbing. Not exactly my favorite job, but some money coming in is better than nothing.
Wish me luck y'all!
