I've always been in favor of reusing things that may have otherwise been discarded. A left over bag from Tiffany's is too pretty to end up in the trash, so instead I created a tote filled with pure white roses! These are some of my absolute favorite flowers for perhaps a very unusual reason. I heard once that in the past, people would hang a white rose stem above the entrance and exit to a party or gathering. This white rose was viewed as a symbol of silence and having an arrangment or stem displayed at a social gathering ensured that whatever conversations were had while attending a festive event, were never to be repeated outside the walls of the venue. I hope that by proudly displaying this centerpiece, my guests will always know that they are with trust worthy company.
|Tip: Cutting the stems of flowers and plants at an angle helps
them absorb more water and increases their longevity.

Dewey Heavy Duty Muzzle Bore Guide M1 Garand
Product #: 669772 Dewey #: M1G-1 UPC #: 608060900034
Product Information
As the muzzle end of the barrel is the last place to see the exit of the bullet, it is important to keep this area free from harm. When placed over the muzzle, these guides allow cleaning rods to go straight into the barrel while protecting the muzzle area. The rod passes thru an oilite bushing which is pressed into the Delrin body. The Dewey Delrin Muzzle Bore Guides can be used with all types of cleaning rods. Some models have milled cuts to allow for sight clearance. Designed for the year-round shooter.
Technical Information
Material: Delrin with Orelite bushing
Designed to keep cleaning rod centered in bore and protect the barrel crown when it is not possible to clean the firearm
from the breech.
Can be used with coated and non-coated cleaning rods.
These guides are firearm-specific and may have milled cuts to allow for sight clearance.

Avoid these Two Giants, but Buy Wal-Mart
siraj is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
With interest rates near zero, investors have been desperately seeking strong yields. Investors are moving toward high-yielding stocks as an alternative to bonds, but they need to do in-depth research before initiating any position in any stocks. The recent plunge in the economy as well as new emerging markets have forced many companies to cut or sustain similar dividends. These cuts in dividends mean that companies are not able to sustain their profitability momentum over a long period. In this piece, I pick two companies that I believe are not solid investments for dividend investors. I also pick one company from the Consumer Cyclical sector for safe income.
CenturyLink dividend profile
CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL) is recognized as a leader in the network services market. After sustaining a quarterly dividend of $0.724 for the past 12 quarters, the company announced a cut in its dividends. At present, CenturyLink offers a quarterly dividend of $0.54 cents per share.
Why the dividends are not safe
CenturyLink's top line growth has been quite stagnant over the past few quarters, though it has been able to achieve solid broadband and Prism TV customer growth in the first quarter. Its first quarter revenue of $4.51 billion represents a decrease of $0.10 billion over the same quarter a year ago. To cope with stagnant top line growth, CenturyLink is creating and capitalizing on organic growth opportunities. Additionally, the company is looking to enhance its margins. They are implementing an organizational realignment in order to strengthen their go-to market strategy and service delivery process.
The company's financial situation is not good enough for dividend investors at present. After a dividend cut, it is paying more in dividends over its earnings. In the trailing twelve months, its payout ratio based on dividends stands at 193.1%. At the end of the recent quarter, its net earnings stood at $298 million, while it paid $341 million in dividends. To top things off, the company has a high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.0 relative to the industry average of 0.8. Another red flag is its cash flows, which also show decreasing trends.
Windstream Corp dividend profile
Windstream (NASDAQ: WIN) offers advanced communications and technology solutions – including managed services and cloud computing – to businesses nationwide. It has sustained its quarterly dividend of $0.25 cents/share over the past four years.
Why the dividends are not safe
Over the last few years, Windstream has pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy, allowing the company to broaden the types of services it provides. Windstream has experienced a decline in the fixed-line phone business, however. As a result, its revenue growth is decreasing quarter-over-quarter. Recently, it announced its first quarter results with total revenue of $1.5 billion, a decrease of 2%.
Along with decreasing revenue, its earnings are also decreasing. Still, the company has sustained its quarterly dividends. As a result, its payout ratio based on dividends is increasing year-over-year. In the trailing twelve months, its payout ratio stands at 364%. This means that Windstream's earnings are not providing enough cover to its dividend payments.
Furthermore, its free cash flows do not provide cover to its dividend payments either. In this situation, I feel it is difficult for the company to sustain its dividends over the next few quarters until they have enhanced their revenue base as well as margins.
Wal-Mart dividend profile
Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) operates in three business segments: Walmart International, Walmart U.S, and Sam's Club. Over the years, Wal-Mart has consistently increased its dividends. Over the past five years, it has been able to enlarge its dividends by 97.89%. At present, the company offers a quarterly dividend of $0.47 cents per share.
How the dividends are safe
Wal-Mart is one of the best businesses in the U. S., and by most measurements it has been a great long-term investment. Below are a few key metrics that demonstrate its long term profitability:
- Debt/Equity ratio 0.5
- Earnings-per-Share for the past five years 9.69%
- Earnings-per-Share for the next five years 9.29%
- Payout ratio 31.7
Wal-Mart has shown solid financial performance over the years. Its top line growth is solid. It has been able to enlarge revenue on average by 4.8% in the past three years while the industry average stands at -0.7. Additionally, it has solid margins on sales. At the end of the recent quarter when sales increased by only 1%, it was still able to enlarge its earnings-per-share by 4.6%.
Along with solid profitability, its earnings provide full cover for its dividends. In the trailing twelve months its payout ratio stands at 31.7%, providing a lot of room to increase its dividends. Furthermore, its free cash flows are also enough to pay dividends. At the end of the recent quarter, its free cash flows stood at $12.67 billion while dividend payments accounted for only $5.3 billion. On the negative side, it has increasing competition from Amazon and Costco. Both companies have lower fixed asset bases and operate at much lower profit margins.
Final notes
CenturyLink is experiencing difficulties in its top line growth. The company is making smart moves and investing heavily in growth opportunities, however. All the same, I think the company's financial situation is not healthy for dividend investors at the moment. Windstream has sustained consistent dividends over the past four years, but at the same time its profitability is decreasing which has pushed its payout ratio up to 360% at present. I think the company will have to enhance its revenue base and margins to sustain its dividends. In the case of Wal-Mart, it is a solid investment for the long haul.

What's Next
With advancements in product formulations and tools, stylists are now equipped better than ever to create innovative, high-fashion, high-drama, haute-couture textured hair.
"Today we're at the intersection of fashion and science," says Danilo. "We have biological needs that science is helping to bring to the public."
Because of that, interpretation of the word texture is going to be diverse: glam texture, ethnic texture, natural texture, manufactured texture and more. In the upcoming seasons, a return of vintage styling techniques such as setting, pin curls, plaiting, bouffant and fi nger waves combined with modern innovations in coloring and extensions will be the next wave in runway texture.
"The future is both a return to classic and natural techniques and hightech processes," says Danilo. "Fashion is an opportunity to create a feeling, a vibe, a spirit."

Marcus "Flash" Austin
Marcus "Flash" Austin is one of kiteboarding's best-known athletes. Austin's flashy tricks increased the popularity of pro kiteboarding. Austin won the World Championship of Kiteboarding in 2000. He was also the first person to kiteboard across the 70-mile (113-kilometer) stretch of water from Norway to Denmark.
In the late 1990's, Austin and about 35 other kiteboarders created their own beach for kiteboarding. Ka'a Point in Hawaii littered with trash and rocks. Austin and his friends cleaned up the beach and began to kiteboard there. Today, Ka'a Point is known as Kitebeach.
Maui Kitesurfing Champion 1997 and 1998
Maui Red Bull King of the Air Champion 2000 and 2001
Tarifa Red Bull Sky Ride Freestyle and Distance Champion 2000
New Zealand Red Bull Sky Ride Freestyle and Hang-time Champion 2001
Naish Summer Race Series Champion 2012
Just nomiated as the first kiteboarding ambassador for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janerio.
The list goes on and on
Jared Carlson (aka Jay):
Jay can rip it up in the waves and can also throw down some technical handle-passes when he has to put the peanut gallery to shame. He has competed in many professional kiteboarding contests and has been on the kiteboarding scene since 2002.
His enthusiastic approach towards beginners has led to a large increase in the number of happy kiteboarders and surfers. And he has continued to adapt his learning style and approach, so he can make learning to kiteboard and surf fun and safe. Just ask this guy anything about extreme sports, and he will be more than happy to help you out.

Ray Ray:
We're happy to announce our newest Kiting.com team member. Ray Ray is one of our expert surf instructors. She's been surfing for years and years, and can surf with the best of the best. And don't think just because she's a 100lb pretty little girl that she can't handle big waves. Ray Ray can handle!
Ray Ray is also an expert kiteboard instructor!

Denver Coon (aka Cooter): "Official Pro Guest Instructor"
Denver Coon has been kiting since the birth of kiteboarding, and the large majority of this time has been spent traveling from one professional contest to the next. His dominance on the kiteboarding circuit has led to a rapid evolution of the sport. And he still seems to keep pushing the limits each day with his extreme wake and surf style. We're
excited to have him on board, and you can only hope to get Denver as your pro instructor!

Bryan Lake (aka Bernie):
Rated 15th in the world for the best kiteboard wave rider! Bryan competes in many professional kiteboarding events such as freestyle, hang-time, and racing. Bryan's one of the best riders out there, so get ready for an action-packed time with Bryan.
He's also one of the best kiteboard instructors in the world, so if you ask this guy anything about kiting you can be assured to get the right answer. And if you're lucky, you might be able to see Bryan up on the North Shore of Oahu dropping in on some 20ft plus waves!
Bryan Lake is Top Hat Certfied (THC) certified, so you can be guaranteed to get the most out of your lesson. THC certifications are only given out to the elite pro kiteboard instructors. And most professional kiters can't even get this certification. Beginner kiters please beware! Bryan will get you up and riding faster than any IKO or PASA certified kiteboard instructor, guaranteed!
Sponsored by Wind Wing & Dakine
Top Hat (aka Hat):
Officially considered the mayor of kiteboarding. There's really not much we can say about "Hat" except he's pretty much done everything known to kiteboarding, and done it better than anyone else. He has competed professionally for over ten years, and he continues to rip everyday. He's a good role model for any new rider, and we're thrilled to have him on the team!
Hat was the founder of "THC" kiteboard instructors, and he is the only one that can issue these certifications. It takes years and years for him to give you the THC approval unlike other kiteboard certifications. And once Hat gives you the approval you'll know you're the very best kiteboard instructor. Please do not take lessons with anything less because this will be dangerous for you and for the sport!
Thanks Hat for coming on board with Kiting.com!

A terrible photoshop moodboard of the things I'm really into beauty wise lately. I'm embracing fall with as much passion as my raggedy body can muster. I'm a #richgothbitch at heart.
Victory rolls, updos, something to keep my hair out of my face (but not my signature milkmaid braids, because I want to switch it up), paired not with the expected red lip and cat eye, but something a little more sinister. Darker, richer colors. This is not a conventional pin up mood I'm going for. Black or dark, dark berry lips. Metallic accents in unexpected ways. Experimental eyeliner shapes, with a homage to Twiggy and Gyaru meets Tom Ford (or perhaps more accurately, Hedi Slimane at Dior Homme). Sleek, subversive, moody, and definitely sexy. Put together in a very precise and terrifying way. I'm excited to interpret all of these ideas into real life.
What are you gonna do for fall?

Here are seven items that often are near, at, or below general store buyback prices. RuneScape players can buy them in bulk on the grand exchange and then spam click the sell button to sell to the general store in loads of 500 ea.
Polypore spores: Polypore spores sell to the general store at three coins each. An offer parked at one or two coins each can yield up to 60k every four hours, assuming the offer actually buys. Because the current price is two coins each, an offer parked at that is more likely to fill every time if they don't buy at one coin each. The buy cap is 30,000 every four hours.
Runes buy at 25,000 every four hours. Chaos runes sell to the store at 42 each, death runes 93 each, and soul runes 123 each. When these items are at or below these prices, buy them up. Because they sometimes rise above the store value, they can be held and sold on the grand exchange for a greater profit, but this requires holding them for a greater time and tying up cash.
Hand cannon shots buy at 150 each, rune arrows buy at 153 each, and royal bolts buy at 45 each. If these items can be bought below these levels, the RuneScape player can turn a good profit. Royal bolts seldom hit their floor, and sometimes double in price. Therefore, these are best bought and held, then sold on the grand exchange.
RuneScape players make a small amount of money on a large amount of capital this way, but the money is guaranteed.

Saving Money When I'm Barely Afloat?
- Monday, October 01, 2012
1) Pray
God delights in providing for those who trust in Him. Claim His promises. Pray His Word back to Him. Cry out to Him for provision, for wisdom, for guidance, for creativity, for open doors. Pray about the little things and the big things; nothing is too small or big for God.
And realize that He will never, never, never, no never leave or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)!
2) Stick To Your Budget
Be very, very vigilant in adhering to your written budget. While it might seem like you're getting anywhere, sticking with your budget will ensure that you're not sliding backward or getting any farther behind than you possibly have to.
3) Realize That Your Attitude Can Make or Break the Situation
I wholeheartedly believe that you're not stuck unless you choose to be. You can always be learning, growing, improving yourself, and seeking to improve your financial situation — even if it seems that your actual income is staying the same.
Have a cheerful, grateful spirit. Focus on counting your blessings rather than all the difficult things in your life. And determine, by the grace of God, that you are going to do all you can to make the most of your situation, to stretch your resources as far as possible and to use any extra time you have in your day to increase your income.
4) Set Microscopic Goals To Begin With
No matter your income or financial situation, you can set goals, even if they are microscopic. You likely can't save $100 this month, but I'm guessing that if you squeezed, you might be able to save $2 or $5 — or maybe even $10. Start there and set this aside in a savings account as your Emergency Fund (or however else you want to designate it) and add to it each month. Over time, you just might be surprised at how it will grow!
In addition, don't just set goals for saving money, set goals for earning money, too! You said that you're usually doing around $25 per month cleaning houses. What if you were to challenge yourself to bump that number up to $35 this coming month? And then little bit, by little bit, continue to bump it up.
I also recommend setting goals for improving yourself — such as skills to learn and books to read. Choose things which will help you be able to increase your income, make wise financial choices and which will encourage you in your current situation.
As always: don't bite off more than you can chew. I'd suggest starting by setting two to four tiny goals each month. Once you accomplish those, add a few more. When you feel ready, increase the goals by a tiny little bit and then a little bit more. Setting goals — even if they are teensy-tiny — and then actually reaching them can give you enormous encouragement and you just might be amazed at the momentum it gives you!
5) Look For Any Extra Cash You Can Come Up With
What about expanding your house-cleaning business by contacting local multi-unit rentals to see if they need someone to clean their units when a renter moves out? Or making connections with realtors and asking them about cleaning foreclosed homes for them or having them recommend you to sellers who want to have their home professionally cleaned after they move out?
Think outside the box of what normal professional cleaners do and you'll likely land upon some really successful ideas. Contact business owners and offer to clean their office space. Advertise your business on Craigslist. Offer a discount to your current customers if they refer you to others who then end up using your services.

Lawmakers want a more cohesive strategy to drive the agency's research and development arm and improve how it works with the private sector to meet the mission needs of DHS constituent agencies.

Say What!?
Dumping Your Date Over Bad Teeth Is a Surefire Way to Die Alone
It's never been easy to be single, but now, with online dating, smartphones, texting being a predominant form of communication, Facebook, and all the other challenges life in 2013 presents, it's even harder. Now add in the fact that singles seem to have increasingly specific "must-have" qualities for potential mates.
Perhaps in a pre-Valentine's Day effort to make singles feel even more screwed, Match.com has released findings from their national survey of almost 5,500 unattached adults over 21. And while a "nice smile" maybe or "good sense of humor" used to be enough to get by, seems like there are quite a few more surprising qualities you've gotta have to score a date these days ...
Like having good teeth! 71 percent of women and 58 percent of men said they judged a potential partner on ... teeth. Huh ... I guess that's one that most of us have subconsciously cared about for years, but it's sorta wild that all of a sudden it's a big deal. Biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, a research professor at Rutgers University and a Match.com adviser who helped develop the survey, explains:
From a Darwinian perspective, good teeth are a real indication of your health -- how much you drink, smoke, what you're eating.
And 'course we all care about that, because date shmate -- what we're really looking for is someone to reproduce with!
Similarly, we don't want to be with someone illiterate! 55 percent of men and 69 percent of women want a mate who uses proper grammar. (Sweet, a sign we're not totally headed down the Idiocracy path as a society just yet?!)
Meanwhile, though, it seems like singles these days have pretty low tolerance for inexperience. 42 percent would not date a virgin. Weird! I would think that might fall under the category of "non-issue"/"if I like you enough, we'll figure it out." Also, who is actually making that known in their online dating profile or early on in the dating game? Strange.
To each their own, but something the survey didn't seem to cover is how having too many must-haves and prerequisites -- as Patti Stanger puts it, "non-negotiables" -- is the fast track to shooting yourself in the foot as a singleton. Not to mention being totally superficial and worrying only about what's going on at the surface level, obvy. We're never going to find a real human being who fits a laundry list of traits. Maybe he or she will have a few, along with some flaws we can tolerate. In the end, that's what it's all about if you actually want to win the dating game.
What do you make of this survey? What are/were your "non-negotiables"?

tuffymamaFebruary 6, 2013 at 7:44 PMI would never date a man with bad teeth. It's honestly such a turnoff, that it sometimes makes me ill. I don't know why. I tried to be a go with the flow and accept all things kind of a girl, but it just isn't me. I have a lot of flaws, but I have perfect teeth that never needed braces. My husbands have all had nice teeth without braces. My kids have gorgeous teeth. It's just important to me.
Clear diction, enunciation, good grammar and a sense of humor have always been important. A JOB is at the too of the list. Not being lazy, racist, sexist, ageist, weightist douchebag is up there, too. One thing I can say about my exes is, no matter how maddening they were to live with, they weren't horrible people.

I've seen some pretty disgusting teeth on some guys. I would never be able to kiss them. It's just a sign of how much they fail at personal hygiene and cleanliness.
- --
lobusFebruary 6, 2013 at 8:09 PMHaha tuffymama, husbands. Good for you. I have perfectly white straight teeth. My husband doesnt. And I dont care. Ive dated guys with good teeth who were assholes and guys with bad teeth who were nice sweet and intelligent. And they all flossed and brushed their teeth. Some people have genetically bad teeth no matter how well they take care of them. Some people didnt have money for braces growing up like my husband (singular.) But hes a good dad a good husband and a good person and Id rather have those qualities than someone else with perfect teeth. Theyre going to rot and fall out as you age anyway, will you love your spouse any less when that time comes?....

- -- Nonmember comment from
blueFebruary 6, 2013 at 8:10 PMCrooked teeth don't bother me, at all. Bad hygiene does. The survey outcome doesn't specify what the responders mean by being turned off. Did they mean crooked teeth? Or, did they mean bad breath and an unhealthy mouth? I think required perfectly straight teeth is unbelievably vain, and it's no wonder people complain they can't find anyone worth it.

tuffymamaFebruary 6, 2013 at 8:55 PMUm, I've been pretty honest about my marital past. Some things you just can't help. Judge all you like, but it says more about you than it could ever say about me.
Carry on.

Coles_momFebruary 6, 2013 at 8:57 PMI'm nearly 40 and the generation I grew up in the majority of kids had braces and fairly straight teeth, but it didn't seem a big deal straight or crooked. I have three kids and a handful of nieces and nephews and the ballgame is VERY different these days! It's not about braces as a teenager, you have to have insanely white veneer teeth to get anywhere- at least where I live. Every single cheerleader on my squad has them. I will let my kid have those done when it's time because I don't want them getting picked on and bullied.

These things really don't bug me in terms of what I look for in a mate. I think bad teeth shouldn't determine what a person is on the inside. Heck the English have bad teeth but some of them are the most well mannered people ever. The judging people by their grammar irks me to no end. News flash: grammar has no bearing on a person's personality. it's like saying "I met a great guy! Sure he's a drug addict. woman beater whose murdered puppies as a kid but he's got impeccable grammar so he's a catch!" And i think the virgin thing is just a matter of morals so it's not a deal breaker to me. I really have nothing specific I look for in a mate just that he respect me and my beliefs and treat me well.

I wanted a yellow rug for a good pop of color. Not happening with this rug as it is more camel and gold with the design not as clear and distinguished as in the picture. I do know that there is often a difference in picture quality and the real thing but I was very disappointed with it's dark muted colors and unclear pattern. Will use it anyway since I don't want to go to the trouble of returning it. Not sure what I will do in the future when ordering if I will at all.
I hve 3 tribal rugs in varying sizes. All are very high quality. The longer I have them the more I like them. They are very thick, the weave is tight, and there is very little shedding. Excellent quality.
This product arrived with the stitching around it unraveling. I was not pleased with the quality. The style was way too southwestern for my decor.
The colors are not as pictured. I was disappointed, but I was only planning to use this as a front door rug, so it will be fine. I was hoping for a bright gold like the picture shows, but it's quite neutral. Quality rug. Quick shipping from overstock.
This is great for next to my bed. I have 2 and the only negative is that it sheds for the first few months so you really need to vacuum often. Highly recommend. overstock quality -they did it again. very happy with this purchase.
The rug is very nice. It was also a great deal. My husband saw the same rug at Frontgate for double the price.
I think it would be more helpful it colors were possibly described in more detail or better photos. Overall a good product. It sheds but normally.

this is
nothing more than a lame excuse. Companies work with their competitors
over security
holes constantly. In fact, I have seen advisories (the recent MS Network
Monitor ones as an
example) that contain issues worked on by two very competitive companies,
ISS and NAI.
As a counter-example, our vulnhelp folks tried to coordinate a vuln
release recently that had to do with the locale bug in (g)libc that
affected most unix vendors, discovered by CoreSDI. Some Linux vendors
jumped the gun. I suspect the idea of waiting on other (competing?)
vendors to get their fix together, when someone is ready to go, is a new
thing for them. It's been a couple months, and Sun still isn't quite
done. I don't expect the Linux folks would have waited too long, and I
don't think we would have expected them to wait 2 months. We'll all
probably have to go thorugh a few iterations of this type of thing before
it works itself out.
Having said that, I don't think that has anything to do with Georgi's
decision on when to release. If you check out his web pages
(guninski.com) You'll see that he has 16 Netscape vulns in addition to the
~40 IE holes. This probably has to do with the fact that IE just
encompases a larger set of functionality, and therefore provides a
potentially greater source of holes, and is probably just more interesting
to research.
I know a lot of you are probably thinking that this rant is pointed directly
at Georgi and I guess
it is as he is probably the largest offender. Georgi, take this message
for what it is worth, you
are no longer doing the security industry a service, you are letting people
know that AOL/Netscape and
their big pockets can take a once respected person and obviously very intelligent
security professional
and use them to do their bidding.
Netscape doesn't need Georgi's help looking bad. Once they stopped
acknowledging bugs in their browser and releasing fixes in a timely
manner, they clearly communicated their feelings on security. I'm
impatient for Mozilla. I hope that the bloated piece of software that
barely runs called Netscape 6 doesn't reflect the state of the Mozilla

Sweet lord, there's a whole other game out there, you know. It's worth playing sometime. Make some alts, or do some research on Wowhead/Wowwiki. It's not that hard.
...But this is a good article otherwise. I just had that Hordies get no love. Ever.
And Heroic Presence is BS.

I was disappointed to read the article in the Guardian (February 6) in relation to "financial problems" at Waltham Forest College.
The article in no way tackled the wider financial issues being faced not just by our college, but by each and every one of the 218 general further education colleges in England as a result of Government funding cuts.
As recently as December 2013 the Government announced its decision to cut funding rates from this September by 17.5% for 18 year-olds in full-time education. We believe this will disproportionately affect the most disadvantaged students, many of whom are served by large, urban further education colleges like our own.
It has been estimated that the impact on colleges is more than seven times greater than the impact on school sixth forms. Although these factors have been drawn to the attention of the Government – MPs called for a special debate on 28 January – it seems that the responsible Minister is not prepared on this occasion to change his mind.
Colleges are facing the brunt of Government cuts to the education budget, while schools and universities appear to be relatively unscathed. Of course these institutions also play an important role and it is understood that overall public spending is being reduced but within the education budget as a whole should it be to the detriment of colleges?
This is happening at a time when I believe we should be promoting vocational education to give our young people the skills they need to contribute to economic growth.
Young people and adults who study catering, automobile engineering, health & social care, construction and hairdressing need to be valued as highly as those who study ancient history at university. They are in many other countries such as Germany, China and Australia that are our economic competitors.
Our College is having to work extremely hard to mitigate the consequences of Government policy, and we are doing our utmost to maintain all courses for which there is a demand. We are proud that so many students from across London and beyond choose to attend Waltham Forest College. They recognise the great value of vocational courses so as to prepare for employment and career progression. It is gratifying that there are so many success stories from our former students who keep in touch.
We are looking at all aspects of our business to see where savings can be made, and we are confident we can make the required savings without reducing the overall number of courses or teaching staff.
I very much hope that the Guardian Series will highlight these issues so as to increase awareness across our community of the impact on colleges of funding decisions on the part of Government which in turn will give readers an understanding of the context in which our local College operates.
Robin Jones, principal and chief executive, Waltham Forest College

Is this 64-bit?
A short demo providing a few hours of gameplay demonstrating combat, magic, and loot.
Is this 64-bit?
Yes, though the 64-bit version doesn't work in Windows 8.0, so you'll need Windows 8.1 or Windows 7
Ack, I'm using 32-bit Windows XP. Another reason to upgrade I suppose.
Unfortunately not for now, sorry. Rumor has it that the CRYENGINE will be getting OpenGL support soon, so fingers crossed!
It is so very simple at this point. I hope you guys revamp it to make it a whole lot better!
Dude for just a PRE-ALPHA DEMO it seens awesome!
so we can't check this out ,if we have 32bit computers?
seems a bit stupid :)

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Because it has Spanish Language instruction, and teachers who care!
I think that it's an exemplary school in every way all the way.
Great teachers, great academics, great environment, great all round!
My 3 grandchildren attend Stevens Creek and they love their school. Their parents are very impressed with the quality of the teachers and staff.
Great teachers, private education at a public school!
The teachers and staff at Stevens Creek Elementary truly love their students. STCE is more than a building/school it is a home away from home, a family. When students walk in the door they are welcomed by name. Teachers treat their students as their own children. They provide structure with a safe and loving classroom and school environment. The students are encouraged to be individuals, set their goals high and are challenged to always do their best. Parents are always welcome as classroom and lunchroom helpers, invited to join their child for breakfast or lunch and there are multiple opportunities to volunteer. Stevens Creek Elementary is a wonderful place to learn!
I love the teachers! They are so dedicated to their students! I love the Spanish program too!
We love Stevens Creek Elementary. The staff is fabulous-the teachers, paraprofessionals and the administration. They truly care about my son and his education experience. And, you couldn't find a school where the community is more involved and supportive. We have so many friends who send their children to private schools because they are concerned that public school will not provide an adequate education. We don't worry about that at all. In fact, our school has the same resources of some of the most expensive private schools in town. We couldn't ask for a better elementary school!
Stevens Creek is such a warm family oriented school. Everyone has a positive outlook. Academically, it outstanding. The teachers encourage the students to reach beyond their potential. The spanish program is wonderful. The children are above and beyond prepared for middle.school.
I am a member of the staff as well as a parent of a child who went through Stevens Creek. We are fortunate to have a wonderful group of people who work together to facilitate learning for students, in a safe and productive environment. There is no such thing as an 8 hr. work day here. We do all that it takes, as long as it takes, to meet the needs of our students. We are blessed to have supportive parents who enable us to work as a team to be the wonderful school that we are!
My son's teacher is wonderful, great communication with email, notes home, etc and keeps me informed. My son gets to do projects that he loves, there is a good balance between school/home work, and his grades are flourishing!
My two kids go there and the teachers are absolutely wonderful. Things are always well organized and coordinated. My kids have learned tremendously. They are definitely the best in my book.
The parent communication is phenomenal. I always know what is going on in this school. It is clean, beautiful, and parents always feel welcomed and valued when they come to eat with their students or volunteer.
New to the area, we are so happy we selected Stevens Creek Elementary. The teaching team has done a terrific job in preparing my child for the next grade.
Stevens Creek is an excellent school. The teachers are amazing and you can tell they really love working with their students to achieve success.
Wonderful school. Awesome teachers! Great programs and parent involvement.
Teachers and support staff loved and respected by all the students Parents appreciate their dedication to education ofthe children..
I love this school because of it's great teachers, academics and tremendous focus they give to the children - Thank you STCE...
The parents, students, faculty, and staff make our school the BEST!
I love Stevens Creek because I have worked her for 16 years and the staff is great the parents are envolvend and woderful but most of all is because I love the students here, they are the once I get up and come to work everymorning with a smile on my face praing each day that I might make a differance in one of their lives.

There have been 29 traffic fatalities in Lubbock so far this year, and authorities are concerned about a rise in that number come Wednesday, due to the increased number of people on the road.
|Interactive Road Rage Test
More >>
The Texas Department of Public Safety says drivers can help in the effort to keep fatality numbers down by using caution on the road. That means driving responsibly and avoiding road rage. If you are confronted with aggressive drivers, the DPS recommends that you not speed up, block lanes, slam or tap your brakes. You should also report extreme cases to authorities.
You should also make sure everyone in your vehicle is buckled up, not only for your safety, but to avoid paying a fine. Right now the DPS has a zero tolerance policy toward seat belt violators. If you are caught not wearing your seat belt during the "Click It Or Ticket" campaign, you could face a fine of up to $200.

How to Flirt With a Guy (Yours!)
Men Confess
"My favorite flirty moment"
"I love it when, out of the blue, my wife tells me one of our inside
jokes that we've had for years. It makes me think about all the special times
that we've had together that only the two of us know about."
--Erik Anderson, 38, Washington, D.C.
"When she rouses me out of a dead sleep in the morning with soft kisses
and she acts all playful and cuddly. I can't get enough of that. It's my
favorite way to start a day."
--Ed Connery, 35, Marbletown, NY
"One night my wife and I were out to dinner and we were sitting at a
table, but she wouldn't take off her coat. I asked her why and she said she
couldn't--and just stared at me. Turns out, all she was wearing was a trench
coat and high heels. I couldn't even eat; all I could think was, "This is
the sexiest thing I have ever seen.'"
--Tom Graca, 31, Dallas
"Sometimes in the middle of the day my wife will call me and tell me
she's thinking about me. I love that she calls for no reason--just to say hi
and have a good day. It's a totally cool thing to do."
--James Panowicz, 31, Grand Island, NE
"She turns up the stereo really, really loud, she grabs me, and we dance
around the house together. We have a favorite Sinatra CD that's always ready to
go full blast!"
--Sean Mims, 30, Birmingham, AL

Jeremy Kahn Sextet records new Pepper Adams project
It was such a joy to be in Chicago last week to record all seven of Pepper Adams' ballads! It was Pepper Adams' unfulfilled wish at the time of his death in 1986 that lyrics be written to his ballads. Now, the lyrics that I commissioned posthumously have been recorded. The culmination of at least a half a year of planning, Jeremy Kahn took my ideas for transforming Pepper's ballads into other styles and wrote another brilliant set of arrangements. Transforming a dreamy, harmonically rich Strayhornesque ballad into a funk tune, for example, was just one of the ideas I had for Adams' ballads that Kahn crafted with extraordinary results. It sure helps when you have a terrific band. Jeremy and I brought back Ray Brown drummer George Fludas, who appears on Volumes 1 and 2 of this project. Joining us for the first time is the very tasteful Chicago bassist Dennis Carroll, who has played with Fludas for many years. Singer Alexis Cole, who collaborated in New York with poet/lyricist Barry Wallenstein to fit his words to Adams' compositions and, later, to Jeremy's provocative arrangements, sang on all seven tunes, each also a showcase for our two extraordinary tenor saxophonists, Pat LaBarbera and Eric Alexander. The date will be released on CD Baby, just prior to the group's concert at the Chicago Jazz Festival on Saturday, September 3. Please check out the date, and come on out and support the band and the music of Pepper Adams! The concert is free.

hmm who needs to worry about authenticaters being compromised when for example i had mine for a month and its screwed already.
Its one of the proper ones (ie made in china cheap crap) that blizz ships out. I only had it about a month and its giving me "88888888888" and "bat 74" rather than a correct code to log in with. I rang Blizz but they cant remove it from my account til i provide either driving license/passport or birth certificate, I have none so have just spent £10 to order a new birth cert. Until that arrives I cant ring blizz to get access to my account.
I'd rather be hacked in future, I'd probably be back raiding quicker.

As announced in the quarter four 2012 statistical bulletin, there are revisions in this release arising from benchmarking of the profits data to more definitive HMRC data, new data as a result of the production of the Quarterly National Accounts for quarter one 2013 and Blue Book 2013, as well as the incorporation of updated capital stocks and capital consumption data by sector on a SIC 2007 basis.
This statistical bulletin, produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) every quarter, shows the net rate of return on capital employed for UK private non-financial corporations related to their UK operations for January to March 2013. The net rate of return is a common way of measuring the profitability or economic success of a company or sector. It is calculated by expressing the economic gain or profit as a percentage of the capital used to produce it. See paragraph 2 of the Background Notes for a more comprehensive definition.
The estimates in this statistical bulletin are consistent with the Quarterly National Accounts Q1 2013, published on Thursday 27 June 2013, as described in the 'revisions' section.
The net rate of return of all private non-financial corporations in quarter one 2013 was estimated at 12.0%. This compares with the revised estimate of 11.7% in the previous quarter.
As Figure 1 shows, the net rate of return for private non-financial corporations was slightly higher than the typical level experienced in the last few years, following a stronger picture through 2007 and 2008.
|UK Continental Shelf (UKCS)
The latest estimate of gross domestic product confirmed the UK economy grew by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2013. This is largely in line with the modest pick-up in the net rate of return for non-continental shelf companies, which include manufacturing, service and construction companies. The gross operating surplus - or company profits - of UK private non-financial corporations reported in the Quarterly National Accounts increased by 2.7% over the same period.
Within this broader picture, the net rate of return for manufacturing companies fell in Q1 2013 and was reflected in the 0.3% decrease in the index of manufacturing between Q4 2012 and Q1 2013. Service companies, on the other hand, continued to show strength. The net rate of return was relatively high compared with that of the last two years, reflecting the gradual recovery seen in the index of services. Continental shelf companies, which include those involved in oil and gas extraction activities, experienced a marginal quarterly rise in the net rate of return, though this remains below the 2011 average. This is possibly the result of ageing extraction equipment which has required more extensive repair and maintenance in recent quarters.
The overall business environment is still unsure with a mixed set of economic indicators. Business investment fell by 1.9% in the first quarter of 2013 and remains some way below its peak preceding the 2008/09 economic downturn. In contrast, the FTSE100 surged at the beginning of the year, breaking the 6,000 mark last recorded in mid-2011. In addition, Ernst & Young reported that UK quoted companies (Main Market and AIM listed companies) issued 72 profit warnings in Q1 2013, down from the previous quarter, but above the 4-year quarterly average of 62.
The estimated net rate of return for manufacturing companies in quarter one 2013 was 8.9%, lower than the revised estimate of 10.0% for the previous quarter but within the range experienced in the last few years.
As Figure 2 shows, the net rate of return for manufacturing companies can be quite volatile. The peaks in quarter four 2012, quarter two 2011 and in 2008 are due to strong profits data for a number of the larger companies in the sector.
The estimated net rate of return for service companies in quarter one 2013 was 15.1%, higher than the revised estimate of 14.6% for the previous quarter but below the peak in quarter three 2012.
As Figure 2 shows, the net rate of return for service companies is, with the exception of quarter three 2012, at quite a high level in comparison to recent periods but below the levels experienced in 2008.
Non-UKCS companies comprise manufacturing, service and other non-UKCS companies (such as construction and power supply).
The estimated net rate of return for non-UKCS companies in quarter one 2013 was 11.4%, higher than the revised estimate of 11.2% for the previous quarter and at the highest level since quarter four 2008.
As Figure 3 shows, the net rate of return of non-UKCS companies is very similar to the picture for all private non-financial corporations, (as seen in Figure 1), with a stronger picture in the last few years, but below the levels experienced in 2007 and 2008.
UKCS companies are defined as those involved in the exploration for, and extraction of, oil and natural gas in the UK. Due to the nature of the capital assets employed, net rates of return for Continental Shelf companies are not directly comparable with those for other industries.
The estimated net rate of return for UKCS companies in quarter one 2013 was 32.6%, higher than the revised estimate of 31.6% in the previous quarter but well below the levels seen through 2011 and early 2012.
Prior to 2010, the rates of return for this industry broadly follow movements in oil and gas prices. Deviation in more recent years may be attributable to increased repair and maintenance costs associated with ageing extraction equipment. As Figure 4 below shows, the net rate of return for UKCS companies can be very volatile.
Profitability is a relative measure of profit and what created it. This bulletin shows the rate of return on capital employed. More detail on the calculation of rates of return is available in the 'Background notes' to this bulletin. Other countries use a range of measures, making comparisons difficult.
However, Eurostat show comparisons, across the European Union, of the profit share of non-financial corporations defined as gross operating surplus divided by gross value added. This profitability-type indicator shows the share of the value added created during the production process remunerating capital. It is the complement of the share of wage costs (plus taxes less subsidies on production) in value added. Detailed data and methodology are available on the Eurostat website.
The information published by Eurostat is currently being analysed with a view to presenting some of the data, along with commentary, in the Profitability Bulletin.
What's new
Capital Stocks and Capital Consumption data
This bulletin incorporates updated capital stocks and capital consumption estimates by sector on a SIC 2007 basis, leading to revisions to the rates of return estimates for manufacturing and services. The updated estimates are the result of preliminary analysis of the SIC 2007 data but further revisions are possible when the capital data are finalised for publication in September.
Revisions to the net rates of return for PNFCs have been made back to quarter one 1997, in line with the UK National Accounts revisions policy (27.8 Kb Pdf) . These revisions incorporate the revisions noted above, revisions due to benchmarking (see below) and other revisions arising from the production of the Quarterly National Accounts Q1 2013 and Blue Book 2013.
Revisions to the underlying gross operating surplus (GOS) data for PNFCs are consistent with Quarterly National Accounts Q1 2013, published on Thursday 27 June 2013.
Gross trading profits (GTP) data are a key component in the calculation of GOS. Rates of return for all PNFC companies have been revised due to benchmarking of the profits data from the Quarterly Operating Profits Survey (QOPS) (160.1 Kb Pdf) to more definitive data from HMRC.
For more information on the calculation of GOS, see 'Definitions and explanations.'
Understanding the data
Interpreting the data
Private non-financial corporations (PNFCs) are comprised of UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), manufacturing, non-financial service sector companies and others (including construction, electricity and gas supply, agriculture, mining and quarrying). UKCS companies are defined as those involved in the exploration for, and extraction of, oil and natural gas in the UK.
The rates of return presented are ratios of operating surpluses compared to capital employed, expressed as percentages. The ratios measure the 'accounting' rates of return achieved in a particular year against total capital employed. The rates of return are on the basis of current replacement cost and relate to UK operations of PNFCs. The net rate of return uses capital estimates which are net of capital consumption, and is more widely used than the gross rate of return. Rates of return are published for quarters and for years.
The main components of the operating surpluses data used in the compilation of the rates of return are the profits data from the Quarterly Operating Profits Survey (QOPS) and provisional HMRC company profits data.
The underlying capital data used to calculate these rates of return are based upon data for capital stocks and capital consumption, which are now provisionally available on an SIC 2007 basis. These data are subject to revision before publication in September 2013. Prior to this release, SIC 2007 estimates for capital employed and capital consumption were estimated: estimates for the manufacturing and services sectors in the last two releases were produced using the assumption that capital by sector had not changed. Prior to that, and since the quarter three 2011 bulletin, estimates were derived using assumptions about the relationship between capital and operating surpluses by sector.
Definitions and explanations
The gross operating surplus of PNFCs consists of gross trading profits, plus income from rental of buildings, less inventory holding gains.
Gross trading profits include only that part of a company's income arising from trading activities in the UK. It does not include income from investments or other means, such as earnings from abroad. Gross trading profits are calculated before payments of dividends, interest and tax. The gross trading profits figures used in the calculation of gross operating surplus exclude the quarterly alignment adjustments applied to non-UKCS companies' gross trading profits, as published in the Quarterly National Accounts.
Inventory holding gains are the differences in the change in the book value of inventories measured at replacement cost and historic cost. The holding gain is subtracted from profits because revaluations are not considered to be part of economic activity, as defined for National Accounts purposes.
Estimates of gross capital stock are a measure of the cost of replacing all produced capital assets held at a particular point in time. Capital employed is the value of fixed assets, plus the value of inventories. It measures the value at replacement cost of all fixed assets at the end of a calendar year. This includes all tangible assets and intangible assets which have been produced and are themselves repeatedly or continuously used in the processes of production for more than a year. Tangible assets include buildings, plant and machinery. Intangible assets include computer software and mineral exploration costs. For UKCS companies, capital employed includes mineral exploration costs and oil rigs, but not the oil and gas reserves that are classified as non-produced assets. Inventories include raw material and fuel that are used up in production. Book values are used for levels of inventories.
In the calculations for net rates of return, estimates of net operating surplus are net of capital consumption (depreciation). Capital consumption is derived from capital stock and covers the depreciation of fixed assets over their service lives. Estimates of net capital are net of accumulated capital consumption; that is, they are a measure of the written down replacement costs of fixed assets.
Use of the data
The underlying profits data used to calculate the rates of return are used within the UK National Accounts. They are consistent with the Quarterly National Accounts Q1 2013 and the UK Economic Accounts Q1 2013, both published on 27 June 2013.
Sampling methodology
Details on the methods used for the Quarterly Operating Profits survey are available in the Quality and Methodology Information (118.8 Kb Pdf) document.
Perpetual inventory method
Underlying estimates of capital stock and capital consumption are produced using the Perpetual Inventory Method. Further details are available in the 'Capital Stocks, Capital Consumption and Non-Financial Balance Sheets' publication, which was last published on 2 August 2010.
The net rate of return is defined as the ratio of the operating surplus compared to the capital employed, expressed as a percentage. The accuracy of the data in the numerator is likely to be high because the main component (profits) is benchmarked every 6 months to definitive, comprehensive, HMRC data. The accuracy of the data in the denominator is also likely to be high now that capital stocks and capital consumption data are on a SIC 2007 basis.
The Quality Methodology Information for Quarterly Operating Profits (160.1 Kb Pdf) is available on the Office for National Statistics website.
The standard error of a series is a measure of the spread of possible estimates that might be obtained when taking a range of different samples of the same size. This provides a means of assessing the accuracy of the estimate: the lower the standard error, the more confident one can be that the estimate is close to the true value. Standard errors for quarterly profits, a key component of the numerator in the profitability data, are currently being developed and will be published in this Bulletin later this year.
Table R1 accompanying this bulletin shows the revisions to the net rates of return made back to quarter one 1997. These revisions are consistent with the data published in the latest Quarterly National Accounts Q1 2013 statistical bulletin on 27 June 2013.
Estimates for the most recent quarters are provisional and, as usual, are subject to revisions in the light of updated source information consistent with National Accounts revisions policy (27.8 Kb Pdf) . ONS has a web page dedicated to revisions to economic statistics which brings together ONS work on revisions analysis, links to relevant articles, revisions policies and key documentation from the Statistics Commission's report on revisions.

Embattled economy comes into focus
Aug 20 2012
Britain's embattled economy will be in sharp focus next week with the latest estimate of second quarter output and official borrowing figures due out.
The double-dip recession may not be as deep as originally feared, as analysts have forecast an upward revision to gross domestic product (GDP) figures on Friday.
The second estimate of GDP - a broad measure for the total economy - is expected to show a 0.5% decline between April and June, against the first estimate of a 0.7% drop.
The slight improvement is set to be driven by better-than-estimated performances from the construction and industrial production sector, while a lift to services output may also be on the cards.
However, City experts warned the underlying picture of a struggling economy, mired in the longest double-dip recession since the 1950s, will remain.
As a result, any such improvement is unlikely to relieve pressure on Chancellor George Osborne to ease his strict austerity measures, which some have said are choking off the recovery.
Victoria Clarke, economist at Investec, said: "Such an outturn would make for less scary headlines, whilst still indicative of a UK economy stuck in the mud."
The 0.7% decline in the first quarter was driven by a 5.2% drop in construction output, a 1.3% quarterly fall in industrial output and a 0.1% drop in service sector output. But recent sector data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) showed a smaller decline of 3.9% over the quarter for construction and a smaller 0.9% for industrial production.
