What does it mean when a guy says you are hard to read?
met a great guy online and we had a strong connection and we got together and had a good time, but he kept telling me I was hard to read. How do we let you know we like you without being to aggressive. Do guys like aggressive? Do guys get offended when girls are really nervous around them?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
hard to read would be something along the lines of...he THINKS he knows what you're going to do next, or think next...but then you do something completely opposite of his thoughts...this doesn't mean its a bad thing, it just means he's trying to figure you out better so he knows what kind of person you are...hes looking for your actions to your reactions, does that make sense?something happens, you react to it in a certain way, his way of thinking how you would react is different than how you actually do...which is good, it keeps you mysterious and keeps him wanting to figure out more!
Yes, that does make sence. Thanks
What Guys Said 3
If you're "Hard to read", it means you're hard to tell emotionally. You can tell what a lot of people are thinking by what they do, how they do it, blah blah blah.
Nervous is cute, he might be hard to read your body language and what you say. Might be confused. If you like a guy try flirting, tease, have fun etc, touch...
If we can tell you are nervous we don't get offended but if we can't then we may take that as you keeping a distance from us on purpose. Get more aggressive by flirting a little, he won't mind.

VolumeShare 4 integrates imaging across modalities, allowing use of multimodality patient image information in real time and providing advanced capabilities during an interventional procedure
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, – December 1, 2009 – GE Healthcare, a $17 billion unit of General Electric Company (NYSE: GE), today introduced Advantage Workstation® VolumeShare™ 4 as an option for its multi-modality Advantage Workstation at the annual Radiological Society of America (RNSA) meeting. The VolumeShare 4 multi-modality volume viewer software integrates 3D images from GE's Innova® interventional imaging system, as well as CT, MR, PET and PET/CT datasets to support new interventional visualization functions and analysis that are targeted for planning and navigation during image-guided interventional therapies, as well as monitoring the procedure results.
"The unique imaging aspects of many modalities are brought together by the VolumeShare 4 workstation," said Hooman Hakami, President and CEO of GE Healthcare's Interventional business unit. "VolumeShare 4 with image registration pulls them together into an integrated image for a level of unprecedented convenience for the interventional radiologist."
Better and faster access to multi-modality informationThe more information an interventional radiologist has about the anatomy of the area to be treated, the more quickly a plan can be made to treat disease, with the least amount of damage to surrounding anatomy.
It is now possible to use the multi-modality images not just for diagnosis, but to steer the interventional gantry to different angles around the patient. An image that has already been acquired can be used to guide the gantry to the appropriate position for acquiring the real time image. Additionally, Advantage Workstation VolumeShare 4:
• Provides images to show needle entry point and the final target, and allows the clinician to see all the anatomy in between to plan the best possible pathway.
• Combines images from other 3D modalities, such as CT and MR, to show things that X-ray may not reveal, allowing for more effective guidance.
• Enables "before" and "after" comparisons, i.e., comparing an X-ray image to either an MR image with physiology, or comparing a CT image with anatomy, or comparing the uptake of a radioactive PET tracer to blood flow in a region.
Clinical breakthrough with Integrated RegistrationThe Advantage Workstation VolumeShare 4 with new multi-modality Image Registration capabilities makes it practical to overlay and match existing 3D images from different modalities, providing complementary information to plan and guide interventional procedure.
Improved access for better careMore information can also lead to better planning before a procedure, shortening its time and improving access to care. Additionally, with more information, doctors can target disease more quickly and efficiently without disturbing healthy structures inside the patient's body. Performing procedures more quickly may increase the number of possible procedures per day that can be accomplished, increasing the access to image-guided interventional care.
Processing, integration and image overlay are achieved with a single workstation, with a single, convenient user interface. Convenient integration of multi-modality images for gantry navigation takes place with the control in the control room or at tableside with a unique 3D in room Mouse control.
"This new breakthrough allows for more convenience, enhanced visualization, and better information in the interventional suite," said Hakami. "Advantage Workstation and VolumeShare 4 bring together multimodality imaging in a way not possible before."

I missed it on yesterday's thread, but now I have to wonder... how much impact DID the ESRB complaints have? I specifically cited that forum.worldofwarcraft.com was one of the sites listed as a "certified" site for privacy. I can't help but think that it could have been the deciding factor. If the ESRB decided to yank them off the list, that would have been terribly damaging publicity beyond everything else we had.

If your realm, like most realms, TB is a circle-zerg then a handful of people defending a node is just about the fastest way to lose it whether you're on attack or defense. Having them there to "call out" for assistance is essentially having them there to call out that they just died and helped the other faction cap that flag faster.
Especially on defense, road fighting is one of the most effective tactics you can employ so long as you are providing a numerical advantage; a few of your faction delaying or outright stopping a large number of the opposite faction from entering a zone of control. You don't want them on a flag that you control.

So far in our pricing discussion, we've talked about estimating your income and hourly vs fixed fee pricing. Today, we're going to put these topics to good use. You know, real-world-practical-stuff.
One of the hardest things to do is put a price on creative work. Seriously. In the beginning, it feels like more of a guessing game than most would be comfortable with … but that's life. You need to dip your toes in the water and go for it! Over time, I promise that you'll become 100 times more comfortable with your services and what you charge. For instance, one of the first freelancing gigs I ever had was a logo + website combo … for only $300. At the time, I was so excited to take on new work and get my name out there! I quickly realized that spending that much time on a project for a low price just wasn't worth it! You simply wouldn't survive on that kind of rate unless you worked at the speed of light. Fast forward a couple years and my pricing for branding and websites starts at $1,000 bare minimum. It's taken me a bit of time - but I'm finally at a comfortable place in the whole pricing game.
So where do you start at, then? That's the question. Tak your experience and work ethic into consideration when you're putting together a pricing estimate for a potential client. Think about what you'd like to make and how long something will take you. Jessica Hische says it well … if you feel a little nervous about telling someone your price, you're probably spot on. If not, you're most likely underselling yourself! Start out with a flat fee that you're comfortable working with and move up from there until it feels right. Go with your gut, it knows you well!
The hard part about being a creative is that not everyone understands our time and worth. In fact, some people think we can whip things together in a day, which is far from the truth! Luckily, most potential clients understand the value of good design and are willing to pay for it. Because I've run into both types of people, I quickly learned that it was best to be legit. Yes, legit. If you present yourself in a professional manner, you'll be treated that way! Use well designed pricing sheets, invoices, and informational sheets. Trust me, people will appreciate and respect that you went the extra mile to present your business.
This is the last of my three part pricing series posts for Be Free, Lance - although I'm sure more will sneak in the future. Even though pricing can be overwhelming, I hope I was able to break it down just a little bit for you all.
Written by Breanna Rose.
A couple weeks back, I decided to kick off my pricing discussion by taking a look at the bigger picture and how to fairly set standards/goals for yourself when it comes to getting paid. But now, we've gotta dive in a little deeper. As a freelance creative, there are two well known ways of getting paid : by the hour or fixed fees. Like most things, both of these methods have pros and cons … which I'm here to tell you about. There's a solid winner in my head, but we'll get to that later. Let's get the facts straight, first.
No matter which payment option you prefer, both ways require you to assess any project that comes your way and estimate how long you think it'll take. Now that, my friends, is a loaded thing to do. I vividly remember estimating the hours of my first project as a freelance designer. I sat there with a blank sheet of paper, trying to write down how long I thought each part of the design process would take. I came up with a number, but was it right?? Nope. The point is, when you're first starting out - it's difficult to know your own process and how long each project will take. That takes time and you'll get it down, just have patience.
In this situation, many young creatives will feel more comfortable offering their services at an hourly rate. This way, they don't have to give a final price right away and can begin working instead. What many people forget is that money is money and nobody likes spending more than they thought they would. You may have given a rough estimate as to how long a project would take, but hours add up quickly. If you have a client who wants revision after revision, your time is only going to continue to grow. But do you think a client is willing to pay for all of that overtime? No way … even if the revisions and extra time were unforeseeable. Now don't get me wrong, some people will understand and pay you appropriately, but that's rare. Nine times out of ten, you'll have an unhappy client on your hands, and nobody wants that.
A good way to steer clear from all of this money tension is to simply use fixed fees. When you are able to tell a client up front that their project wil cost X amount of dollars and include X amount of revisions, they know very well what is about to happen and how much they're going to invest for it. If it's a price that both you and you're client are happy and settled with, it's a win-win situation. Of course there is a lot that goes into determining a project's price, but I'll cover that next time, as it's another topic in its own right!
Like I said earlier, there's a front runner when it comes to the debate in fixed fees vs pricing hourly. I know people can and will argue each way, but for me, setting up a flat rate for a client always wins. Not only does it decide the cost from the get go and avoid money tension during a project, but it also works wonders for efficient creatives. Let's face it, some creatives work quicker than others. Let's say two designers with similar experience and talent work on the same project at $50 per hour. If person A completes a project in 10 hours and person B finishes in 20, you can see how billing at an hourly rate would punish the quicker of the two. Person A would make $500, while person B would make $1,000 … double. That can become a big difference, especially when these two people were assumed to be on the same talent scale.
With all of this said, take some time to think about your own process and decide which would work better for you and has the most pros rather than cons. Never punish yourself by making less than you deserve. I'll be back in a few weeks to discuss how to determine your prices! Until then, feel free to comment with any questions you have or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'm always happy to talk to others about what I've written about over here.

Not many people talk freely about pricing out freelance work. It's this scary and unknown place, but honestly, everyone wants to know. I plan on covering a variety of topics regarding money over the next few weeks, so definitely check back for more! Before I sart, let's get real : pricing is 100% different for everyone. No two people are alike. Creatives have different work ethics, skill sets, and experience … all of which need to be taken into account. It is my goal to give you a general sense of how to approach things.
Let's start first by thinking of the big picture : your ideal income. According to AIGA's annual survey, a fresh designer right out of school makes an average of $35,000 - $45,000 annually or about $20 - $30 per hour. If you're starting out as a freelance creative, these numbers are a great starting point for you to look at. However, keep in mind that these averages are for those who are working with a company, have benefits, and a set work week for the most part. They're not freelancers. People working for themselves do not receive benefits, have extra expenses, work odd hours, and are required to pay self employments taxes. Plus, not all hours put in are paid. There's nobody above you paying you to promote and market yourself … It's all out of pocket. With that said, although the yearly income averages I mentioned above are a very good starting point for research, a lot more needs to be taken into account.
The first thing I did when I decided to work for myself full-time was set a "goal income." You know, what did I want to make, within reason. And because people rarely talk numbers ( even though everyone wants to know ), I'm going to be completely open and honest about my process. So here it goes : After a lot of thought, I told myself that I would be happy with at least $30,000 after one year of freelancing. That may seem low ( I kind of did that on purpose to myself ), compared to the $35,000 - $45,000 estimated earlier, but I knew that a LOT of my time would be unpaid dedicated to networking, research, and the development of my own business throughout that first year. I realized that I was building something from the ground up and money wouldn't appear from thin air. My ideal yearly income has since changed, but hopefully this gives you some sort of starting point. Think about what you want to make, what's reasonable, and find a happy medium. Who knows, you may surprise yourself and exceed your ideal income at the end of the first year. If I can do it, you can do it! Hard work pays off. Gain experience, learn as you go, and your ideal income will increase easily over time.
The second thing to conquer is setting up an hourly rate, which is the most challenging part by far. Sure, you could figure out how many hours you think you're going to work per week, on average, and do some math with your ideal income to come up with an hourly rate. Or you could plug in some numbers to this free rate calculator. But here's the thing : doing math will only give you a good starting point. It's not an answer. There is absolutely no way to know exactly how much you're going to make as a freelancer. There are just too many variables.
What I can tell you, though, is that you need to compensate yourself fairly. The $20 - $30 an hour estimate from AIGA does not work in this case, because working for a company and being a freelance creative equal different things when it comes to money. In my opinion, if you're working for yourself, your hourly rate needs to be somewhat higher than the averages found on AIGA's survey if you're wanting to reach your ideal income. It's the truth. While a designer working for a company could reach $35,000 a year by working at $20ish an hour, a freelance creative would have to work even more hours to reach that same salary. The reason for this is simple : not all hours a freelancer works are paid for. There are the hours you'll spend endlessly marketing yourself and the times where you work more than you initially estimated on a project ( unpaid overtime ). There's value and work ethic. Long work days and phone meetings. Because of these reasons, and many more, you need to adjust your price appropriately. It's up to you how you interpret all of these things, but know that they need to be accounted for and added. Don't undersell yourself, or you won't survive.
I could go on and on about each and every little detail that goes into figuring out rates … from expenses to your own value as a creative, it's all relavent! I hope that this post has come across as honest and raw. I know that not everyone will agree with my thoughts on pricing, but it's good to get it out there and open for discussion. Remember, I'll be back in a few weeks for even more on pricing!

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A former Knox County School Board member who has had several brushes with the law was arrested Wednesday morning after a fight with his wife.
Bill Phillips, 48, is accused of trying to smother his wife, Karen Phillips, with a pillow.
He is being held in the Knox County Detention Facility on charges of aggravated assault by strangulation and domestic assault.
Knox County deputies say they were sent to the Phillips home on Wood Road after someone called 911 and then hung up.
Phillips told officers everything was fine, that his wife had made a mistake and was just trying to dial 411.
When officers talked to Karen Phillips, 46, however, they learned a fight led to him trying to smother her with a pillow. She was able to get away by biting his arm.
She also said she was cut after grabbing a knife to defend herself.
Phillips was arrested numerous times on various charges, including domestic assault, vandalism, acquisition of a controlled substance by fraud, and identity theft.
Phillips was arrested in 2009 for assaulting his wife and later pleaded guilty to that crime. He then resigned from the school board in January 2010.
He was arrested on March 30 of this year for allegedly violating an order of protection involving his stepson.

The 10 richest US presidents
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is worth about $200 million. Where would that rank him on the list of the nation's richest presidents?
By Douglas A. McIntyre, Michael B. Sauter and Ashley C. Allen, 24/7 Wall St.
After months of speculation, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney recently confirmed that he is worth roughly $200 million — give or take a million or more. 24/7 Wall St. examined the finances of all 43 presidents to identify the richest. In addition to being worth more than 99.9% of Americans, if elected president, Romney would also be wealthier than any president except one.
While the other Republican candidates are also millionaires, their wealth does not come close to that of Romney's. Still, judging from the net worth of all presidential nominees, politicians need to be wealthy to run for high office.
The other GOP candidates still in the running made their money more directly from their politics before entering the race. Libertarian candidate Ron Paul, worth between $2.5 million and $5 million, has published a number of best-selling books over the past few years, each of which explores his political ideology. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich became a consultant and political analyst after he resigned from office. According to estimates, he has earned at least $6.5 million and as much as $31 million. Rick Santorum, who worked as a consultant and contributor to Fox News, is worth more than $1 million.
Unlike today's candidates, the net worth of the presidents varies widely. George Washington was worth over half a billion in today's dollars, while other presidents went bankrupt. The fortunes of America's presidents are tied to the economy of their time. As the focus of the economy changed, so has the way the presidents made their money.
It's not surprising then to find the first few presidents — from Washington's election to about 75 years later — as large landowners. They generally made money from land, crops and commodity speculation. Of course, this left them highly vulnerable to poor crop yields, and they could lose most or all of their properties because of a few bad years. Similarly, they could lose all of their money through land speculation — leveraging the value of one piece of land to buy additional property.
By 1850, the financial history of the presidency entered a new era. Beginning with Millard Fillmore, most presidents were lawyers who spent years in public service. They rarely amassed large fortunes and their incomes were often almost entirely from their salaries. These American presidents were distinctly middle class and often retired without the means to support themselves anywhere close to the presidential lifestyle. James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, U.S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes and James Garfield had modest net worth when they died.
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, there was another significant change to the economy. Large, professionally organized corporations in the oil, mining, financial and railroad sectors allowed individuals to amass large fortunes. The Kennedys were wealthy because of the financial empire built by Joseph Kennedy. Herbert Hoover made millions of dollars as the owner of mining companies. Indeed, since the early 20th century, the fortunes of many presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and both of the Bushes, were driven by inherited wealth.
- 24/7 Wall St.: America's poorst presidents
The net worth figures for the 10 wealthiest presidents are in 2010 dollars. Because a number of presidents, particularly in the early 19th century, made and lost huge fortunes in a matter of a few years, the net worth for each president is for the peak time.
In the case of each president, we have taken into account hard assets such as land, estimated lifetime savings based on work history, inheritance, homes and money paid for services, which includes anything from salary as Collector of Customs at the Port of New York to membership on Fortune 500 companies' boards. The net worth includes royalties on books, as well as ownership of companies and yields from family estates. Post continues below.
This is 24/7 Wall St.'s list of the richest U.S. presidents.
10. John Fitzgerald Kennedy
- Net worth: $1 billion (never inherited his father's fortune)
- In office: 1961–1963
- 35th president
Born into great wealth, Kennedy's wife was oil heiress. His father was one of the wealthiest men in America, as well as was the first chairman of the SEC. Almost all of JFK's income and property came from a trust shared with other family members.
9. William Jefferson Clinton
- Net worth: $38 million
- In office: 1993–2001
- 42nd president
Unlike other presidents, Clinton did not inherit any wealth and gained little net worth during 20 plus years of public service. After his time in the White House, however, he earned a substantial income as an author and public speaker. Clinton received a large advance for autobiography. His wife, the current Secretary of State, also has earned money as an author.
8. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
- Net worth: $60 million
- In office: 1933-1945
- 32nd president
Roosevelt's wealth came through inheritance and marriage. He owned the 800-acre Springwood estate, as well as properties in Georgia, Maine and New York. In 1919, his mother had to bail him out of financial difficulty. He spent most of his adult life in public service. Before he was president, Roosevelt was appointed assistant secretary of the Navy by President Woodrow Wilson.
7. Herbert Clark Hoover
- Net worth: $75 million
- In office: 1929 – 1933
- 31st president
An orphan, Hoover was raised by his uncle, a doctor. He made a fortune as a mining company executive. He had a very large salary for 17 years and had extensive holdings in mining companies. Hoover donated his presidential salary to charity. He also owned "Hoover House" in Monterey, Calif.

6. Lyndon Baines Johnson
- Net worth: $98 million
- In office: 1963–1969
- 36th president
Johnson's father lost all of the family's money when LBJ was a boy. Over time, he accumulated 1,500 acres in Blanco County, Tex., which included his home, called the "Texas White House." He and his wife owned a radio and television station in Austin, Tex., and had a variety of other moderate holdings, including livestock and private aircraft.
5. James Madison
- Net worth: $101 million
- In office: 1809-1817
- 4th president
Madison was the largest landowner in Orange County, Va. His land holding consisted of 5,000 acres and the Montpelier estate. He made significant wealth as Secretary of State and president. Madison lost money at the end of his life due to the steady financial collapse of his plantation.
4. Andrew Jackson
- Net worth: $119 million
- In office: 1829–1837
- 7th president
While he was considered to be in touch with the average middle class American, Jackson quietly became one of the wealthiest presidents of the 1800s. "Old Hickory" married into wealth and made money in the military. His homestead, The Hermitage, included 1,050 acres of prime real estate. Over the course of his life, he owned as many as 300 slaves. Jackson entered considerable debt later in life.
3. Theodore Roosevelt
- Net worth: $125 million
- In office: 1901–1909
- 26th president
Born to a prominent and wealthy family, Roosevelt received a sizable trust fund. He lost most of his money on a ranching venture in the Dakotas and had to work as an author to pay bills. Roosevelt spent most of his adult years in public service. His 235-acre estate, Sagamore Hill, sits on some of the most valuable real estate on Long Island.
2. Thomas Jefferson
- Net worth: $212 million
- In office: 1801–1809
- 3rd president
Jefferson was left 3,000 acres and several dozen slaves by his father. Monticello, his home on a 5,000-acre plantation in Virginia, was one of the architectural wonders of its time. He made considerable money in various political positions before becoming president, but was mired in debt towards the end of his life.
1. George Washington
- Net worth: $525 million
- In office: 1789–1797
- 1st president
His Virginia plantation, Mount Vernon, consisted of five separate farms on 8,000 acres of prime farmland, run by more than 300 slaves. His wife, Martha Washington, inherited significant property from her father. Washington made well more than subsequent presidents: his salary was 2% of the total U.S. budget in 1789.
Ok. the headline is the 10 richest US presidents. But the first half of the article is how much money the republican candidates have. Why didn't they throw in the democrat candidate?
... Because that would remind people that Obama is a 1% just like the people that he's trying to drive people to hate.
People that hate Romney because he's rich, yet like Obama are absolute morons.
Washington, Jefferson and many of our early presidents and founders became wealthy by their private business, politics were their second callings and many used their private monies to pay for the politics.
Today politicians get rich from the politics and government, the exact opposite of then. Could you imagine obama, clinton, Ford or nixon if they had not had politics....they would be $100,000 a year men or less.
Thats why our country WAS great and now in decline, we used to have successful men enter politics.....now we have men enter politics to be successful.
Greenbeer 54,
You can take all of the money from the rich, tax them at 100%, and we would still be borrowing from China like crazy. A trillion dollars is 1000 billion, the wealthy in the U.S. are not worth anywhere near 1000 billion dollars. We owe the Chinese at least 14,000 billion dollars. WE MUST STOP BORROWING AND SPENDING MONEY THAT WE DO NOT HAVE.
Mr Ewent,
Yes, President Obama did inherit the State of the Union. But, he was hired to fix it. If I hired a CEO to fix my company, and in 3 1/2 years he made it worse, and the only excuse he could give me was that it wasn't his fault, guess what I would do?
So don't be so sharp of tongue about idiots, instead search your own brain for flaws.
How is it that someone who is RICH is somehow labeled as bad?
Apparently the country is self destructing, and ready to become a socialist nation. Capitalism is what we are all about. If you are lucky enough, strong enough, smart enough, or work hard enough, you too can make a fortune for yourself.
To the angry person saying this country was built on blood, I got this to say. You might want to look at your history books a bit better, not all whites were here because they wanted to be here. Some were forced here due to debts they had in england and instead of being kept in prison there they were shipped to the colonies where they worked as they could. Others, came here due to famine in their home land and were worked to near death as indentured servants or in textiles and building the railroad. So maybe, just maybe before you scream at the white man, you might want to see if that white man wasn't in the same boat as everyone else that got crapped on.
What is interesting, is how anyone like yourself could honestly believe that by cutting taxes on the people is why our national debt has ballooned. If people have more money in their pocket, they will either spend it, or save it. Either way, it will support the economy. If you spend it, there will be more tax revenue from enterprises that produce goods bought. If you save it, taxes will be paid on Investments. Winston Churchill once said, "For a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle".
Second, If it wasn't for those so-called "rich parasites" that you so rudely call, without knowing what it takes to invest your hard earned/after tax dollars in a new business, people like you and I would not have a job. This country was built on the free enterprise/capitalist system. It's a constitutional right. It is the Obama adminstration that has poisoned the minds of the weak by pretending to make it look like it's a terrible thing to be in the 1%.
Would you take a chance with your hard earned dollars to open a new business, or to buy a business? That's where jobs come from. If not, don't condemn those that are willing to try.
How interesting that the republicans seem to be mentioned the most in this article, yet kennedy, clinton and fdr were the richest democratic presidents! There isn't a poor politician in the bunch!
That is what this article should have been about, how the politicians line their pockets with the people's money!
Your article is supposed to list the 10 richest presidents, but yet you didn't pass up the opportunity to mention the GOP presidential nominees. Why did you leave out President Obama? Isn't he also one of the 99.9%?
It seems to me that if the slant of your reporting is about the 99.9% vs 1%, and your going to list the GOP candidates in your article, then make it fair.

Below please find the text of an e mail received from the Chair of the group – Save Our Hills. This group has been very supportive of the efforts to prevent the widening of Niles Canyon Blvd. While the issue is focused in Union City the proposal described sounds like the impact would reach much further. Mike Dubinsky.
>People will see us at our rally today, Friday, May 2 from 5:00 â 7:00 PM. Please join us with many concerned residents supporting the protection of open space and views of the Union City hills and flatlands. The weather should be perfect!
Please meet us at the southeast corner of Whipple Road and Mission Boulevard.
You may park on Mission Boulevard or at the Dry Creek Park gravel lot at the end of May Road.
The Masonic Home proposes a high-density housing and commercial development on over 60 acres of protected farmland on a one-mile stretch along Mission Boulevard. The Masonic Home is attempting to obtain signatures this summer in order to put this development proposal on the November 2014 ballot.

Israel Bresner, who went by the name "Slym, the Shadow" (pronounced "slim"), entered showbusiness at the age of six, when the extraordinarily tall child rode around town on a wagon, promoting the upcoming circus. As an adult, he stood seven feet tall and weighed just 90 pounds. He came from a family of all average-sized people and had a brother, Al Lang, who was an actor in Hollywood.
During the off-season Slym worked for an advertising agency as part of a strange promotional gimmick: he used to wander the streets of major cities with a group of midgets as a traveling advertisement for cold medicine. Tall Slym, presumably dressed to downplay his emaciation, played the man who took the medicine, while the midgets were the poor saps who turned it down.

@comicbookfan Don't forget how the date is put down.
Wait, Marvel Studios?? @ignitedspade Agreed. This is a Sony/Columbia Pictures film. Marvel Studios is nowhere near the eventual rights to this franchise. That was the first thing I noticed. Clearly a fake.

I could design a better looking poster since I used to take those classes. Granted it has been six years since then and I'm rusty as a nail.

@jptheredskull Thanks J.P. I'm afraid I made it, only because I was so bemused by the 'real?' effort though and thought someone needed to do it better. Glad you like it though!
This is a fake. This movie isn't a Marvel Studios film. Nice try though.
3 years agoby @ignitedspadeFlag
@jptheredskull...Its been reported that season 2 was gonna show a couple more hero cameos, so far we saw Wolverine in Caps flashback scene in WW2, the Fantastic 4 as well as hints to the X-Men and the Punisher, lets see who they show next season
have u seen the season finale, season 2 is gonna be great from the hint at the end...
@bane5000 Yeah. It's been rumored for a while that Spidey might make an appearance in Avengers: EMH which we all know is heavily inspired by the MCU so... It could happen.
3 years agoby @jptheredskullFlag
@jptheredskull...sounds like a kool idea for Sony to be part time partners with Marvel Studios...just like in the animated show Avengers:EMH how they give lil hints and clues to other superheroes not on the show, it would be funny to see Tony in a movie reading the Daily Bugle with a pic of Spidey on the front page or Spidey mentioning a secret agency that keeps buggin him wink wink...
@Billy-James-Strickland, of course it's a teaser poster and features the "official logo" according to the article. Typically, a teaser poster is a early promotional poster that should tease you, entice you, and generate hype for a film. This teaser poster, as I mentioned previously, is boring and does not entice or generate any hyped-up expectations. In fact it has lowered my expectations. The Official Logo looks like something created by a student in a Basic Design 101 class. I know better posters of the movie will be coming, as just about anything would beat this design.

@12-42 Probably a dumb question but is that real? It's epic as all heck.

@bane5000 Yeah. I always said out of all the studios that have Marvel properties, Sony would be the most willing to do a crossover.
3 years agoby @jptheredskullFlag
@jptheredskull...Oh i see, didnt know that, so yeah maybe theyre can be hope of a kind of Inter-Studio crossover of characters, or at the least cameos or little mentions of eachother...to bad FOX probably wants to just stick to their own and not cross over with Marvel Studios as well, stingy bastards LOL
i like it

@narrator@bawnian-dexeus@bane5000 Marvel Studios is in fact the co-producer on this film. They even made the announcement themselves that the franchise was being rebooted. As for crossovers, due to Columbia/Sony being the other half of the producing unit, it's likely Marvel Studios characters will appear in Spidey films rather than vice versa.
3 years agoby @jptheredskullFlag
Now this is a rare form of marketing... a poster that does not pique my interest in seeing a movie. From a design point of view, there is nothing good to say about this poster. The font and layout are way too basic, the background is boring, and the whole thing has an amateur look. I expect much more from Marvel and Sony Pictures.
3 years agoby @robertswwwFlag
both are ok. i like the poster better than the logo. the logo is too cartoonish (having not seen a preview yet that is hard to truly say, but from reports they wanted this incarnation to be darker and this logo doesn't fit that look). the poster i know what they are going for, but don't think they reach it.
Doesn't look too bad, I'm just not liking the top letters in small caps.

There are more than 10,000 children in Oklahoma's foster care system. On any given day there are 150 children in need of a foster home, which has yet to be found. When a foster or adoptive home is not available, these children stay in county shelters. The Oklahoma United Methodist Circle of Care found a solution through a program called Child SHARE.
Child SHARE works with licensing agencies, faith communities and volunteers to recruit and support full time foster families, adoptive and respite families. This network helps provide for their physical, emotional, spiritual and financial needs.
Child SHARE provides families with clothing and equipment, support groups, and family events. Child SHARE services are available in the Lawton, Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas.
Child SHARE is an ecumenical non-profit program, which recruits parents and volunteers from faith communities to be involved in some capacity of fostering children. By having a strong physical, emotional and spiritual support system wrapped around the foster families and children, the families are more able to nurture the children in their care.
Child SHARE recruits fulltime foster and adoptive parents, backup/respite parents, mentors, babysitters, special friends and financial supporters. Welcome basket volunteers are important team members who are also involved in ministering to hurting children.
Full-time Foster Families: Moms and dads, married and singles, who welcome a foster and adoptive child into their daily lives. (See requirements)
Respite Foster Families: Families certified as back-up caregivers for the primary foster family when the family needs some rest.
Special Friends/Mentors/Babysitters: Individuals committed to building lasting relationships with the full-time family and the foster and adopted child, providing occasional care-taking and activities.
Support Group Facilitators: Persons who help organize and conduct support group meetings on a monthly basis. Committed resource person for foster and adoptive parents within anchor or affiliate churches.
Child SHARE Liaison: A committed resource person for foster and adoptive parents within the anchor church. Helps organize support groups and information as well as serves as a link and support person for foster families and Child SHARE administration.
Anchor Churches: Churches that commit to the program and serve as a sponsor church for their region. Support groups may be conducted there.
Affiliate Churches: Community churches that sponsor families and/or activities within the region.
A Co-op Church: Church that houses the supply closet available to families.

A generous suite of tributes to Gail Mazur, along with new work by the poet.

AGNI #77: The body eclectic—artist Fabio D'Aroma's expressively cartoonized bodies and physiognomies catch the flavor of an issue featuring Lynne Sharon Schwartz's surgery memoir, as well as meaty and muscular fiction from Tiphanie Yanique, David Hernandez, E.

Osondu, and Melanie Rae Thon; essays by Lia Purpura and Elvis Bego; poetry by Dana Levin, Jordan Smith, Peter Balakian, and Carol Moldaw; and much more, including translations from the Lithuanian, French, Japanese, Danish, and Russian.

Josaka 12th birthday
It's been an exciting year for us at Josaka; we've had numerous releases, bands racking up festival appearances all summer and national airplay for every single we released during 2010. It's no wonder we want to celebrate and we'll be doing just that on Saturday 12 March 2011 at South Street in Reading.
The Josaka 12th Birthday party will be opened by Lights a new band that are something of a Berkshire super-group featuring former members of Hello Wembley and Circus Sands.
Second up are brother-in-law duo and 8-bit pioneers MidiMidis who return after receiving great acclaim playing the event last year. MidiMidis have had an amazing 12 months with a BBC Maida Vale session, a single on Josaka which gained XFM and Radio 1 airplay and televised performances at Reading and Leeds festivals. They rounded 2010 of by securing a publishing deal with BMG.
Reading based folkster Ben Marwood takes up proceedings coming off the back of a full UK tour promoting his debut album which is out on Xtra Mile Recordings (Reuben, Frank Turner, Beans on Toast). Ben has worked with Josaka over the last 3 years releasing both his own and other people's music under the moniker Broken Tail and so nothing makes Josaka more delighted than to have him back celebrating his success.
SixNationState whose self titled debut album was a top 20 indie hit in 2007 are fourth on. After the departure of their bassist and a long break from recording and touring the band started work on the follow up during 2010, Josaka are delighted to announce they'll be working with SixNationState to release their second album and can promise they're back at their brilliant best live.
Kicking off his UK tour we're very lucky to have Mr Fogg headlining and performing tracks from his debut album 'Moving Parts' with a full band. Mr Fogg has been showered with critical acclaim and the video to his song Answerphone has been a viral hit. Live sessions for Radio 1 and 2 and regular production credits are making him a force to be reckoned with.
The details
Who: Mr Fogg + SixNationState + Ben Marwood + MidiMidis + Lights

Hello guys.
So, my school has Exchange 2010 and Forefront.
Pardon my lack of knowledge, unfortunately it is just me a lowly IT Tech in a school since the departure of the NM struggling to get by! I have very little experience with exchange beyond setting up new mail accounts and zero experience with Forefront.
A scenario. A very important member of staff asks for a larger Email send limit, I login to exchange and figure that increasing the individual's send limit in mailbox flow should do it. However now they can no longer send any attachments. So I return the limits back to default (IE global).
The user can still not send attachments. Now I know that we use Microsoft Forefront but not sure if we used it to set mailbox limits. If we did use Forefront to set mailbox limits, would changing anything directly in the Exchange server break the users send limit? In which case I would have to use Forefront to reapply the global settings?
I have never used forefront before, I have tried connecting to the mail server with Forefront server, but it gives me a "Server is not operational" error.
Would be great to be given some help on this
PS: Running powershell command Get-Mailbox <User> | Format-List *Quota on any user shows everything as unlimited apart from the entry "Rules Quota: 64KB" including the problem user.

text: Thai escapades, dec 2013. I and my pal hopped upon this crackling boat scraped together out of pieces of aluminum and wood, and we couldn't find out where we were to be taken. (Nowhere in particular. Just around the cliffs and silent rocky shores.) The sailor had long curly hair with oddly blonde strands, self-made tattoos and scarfs wrapped around his head and waist. We called him captain Sparrow 'cause he didn't want his identity revealed. He seemed okay with that. He wasn't much of a talker.

Episode 3 of 4
Four journeys into the dark, recurring dreams of the city. In each episode, leading writers collaborate with documentary-makers Russell Finch and Francesca Panetta to uncover the unsaid obsessions of city life.
Episode 3: Raising the Bones by Naomi Alderman
A heart-broken girl returns to the Roman ruins of Silchester, where she once spent the perfect day with a lost love. But on her return, she discovers it has been transformed into a bustling city - the city that could have been but never was.
These experimental radio features blend archive, fiction and documentary footage. What's real and what's fiction becomes unclear, just like in the city.
A city isn't just a location on the map, it's a place we imagine, dream about, invent. A place to love, to endure or to resent. A place where you can find anything - but it always has a price.
You don't need to live in a city - it's part of the universal imagination. But the way we think of it has common dark undertones, recurring dreams that come round again and again. These late night woozy dreamscapes uncover those unsaid obsessions, each taking a different theme, and question why these ideas seem to keep coming back in the way we imagine urban living.
With thanks to English Heritage.

so many old messages…
Today will be essentially my last day of freedom for a month. What does that mean? Virtually no Tumblr. Gonna be studying, ALOT. Gotta get them 100s on these tests and I essentially only have a week to learn a semester's worth of stuff and take a test on it. Then take that and multiply it by 6. That's right I have 6 tests to take in only a month. It'll be 2 a week because I get a freebie this week.
So, later everyone. I'll see you when randomly come up for some air and at the end of the month.
- meet someone
- flirt
- start liking eachother
- stop talking as much
- complain that you don't talk anymore
- talk more but its not the same
- slowly stop talking again
- never talk to them ever again
- repeat
I have had this really really shweet idea for a tattoo for a while now. But there are two problems. I am not one to get tattoos and it's actually pretty gruesome and would be pretty big anyways. So, it would be super expensive and take so much time. Which means it would probably get in the way of my career and stuff. Not entirely sure how the military would feel about this one. I've never really dug into the tattoo policy because they're not for me. But anways, on to my idea.
It would be a chest tattoo and it would be and hand with with a real human heart in it bursting out of the chest. So it would have the blood, the rib bones actually broken and shattering and the ripped flesh. It would look as real as possible and be in color. I think part of the trouble would be getting an artist that could do this idea justice.
So yeah… anyone wanna steal and idea go ahead. I'm not gonna do it just send me pics after it's done/while it's progressing.
I got some clean up to do before this room is truly livable… It gets hot as balls in here which makes sleeping interesting. To top it off it's a dry heat and I had a nosebleed this morning just before I wanted to get up… API is gonna be interesting to say the least…
then I wouldn't have to physically pack and clean to move yet again…
Not that it matters to most of you anyways. But, I will be continuing the academic portion of flight school here in a week and a half. Lots and lots of studying will ensue, like 4-5 hours a day after I get out of class. Gotta get them 100s.
So, during that time. Facebook it if you want. I will check that briefly from time to time. Tumblr just takes too much time because there are so many good posts to go through.
Waking up with some stupid fucking jingle in my head, I want to remove my brain and step on it.
I kinda feel this way when I sleep at night sometimes…
I really hope that she isn't as annoying as so many of these 'military SO's' that I see whenever I wanna look up military related posts on tumblr… and you best believe that I will be angry if I see anything that goes against OPSEC.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
PS: I freaking hate the term 'military SO'. I just might have to stop looking at all things military on here.
even though I doubt this morning's would ever happen…
Some kids go to a soccer came pretty much right on the border of Mexico and the US. Take a wrong turn to go over a bridge over a huge river… The decide to try to turn around somehow, but the bride is being disassembled behind them. They're stuck and decide to swim it, but border patrol stops them and they have to swim the other direction. The rest of the dream is an attempt to swim through crazy shit to git back on the right side of the border, but to no avail. At least while I was sleeping…
And somewhere in there was me trying to snort heroin for some reason… that was probably another dream though that got blended into this one…
I seriously just might have to shut down my dreams haha. The cool part of this dream was the contraptions during the escape I so wish I could record dreams for stuff like that.
It is now 0858… c'mon! I got stuff to do…

Belgians have long made their mark on professional cycling—from the great Eddy Merckx [32] to 2012 Paris-Roubaix champ Tom Boonen. But their impact has been felt almost entirely on the road and cyclocross branches of the sport. With few exceptions, Belgium has not produced many elite mountain bikers—especially in the downhill and freeride disciplines. Until now.
On Saturday an obscure Belgian dirt jumper and slopestyle competitor named Thomas Genon won perhaps the most high-profile mountain bike contest held in North America. The 19-year old put together a flawless run at the Crankworx [33] Joyride slopestyle contest on Whistler Mountain in British Columbia. High winds challenged riders who sailed 60-feet through the air—often upside down—off the course's many jumps, hits and drops. Yet Genon managed to throw a combination of tail-whips, 360s, front flips, backflips and even a flip onto the 30-foot-high platform atop the course's final drop, with few bobbles.
The wind caused many of the favorites to wipe out, including past winners Cam Zink and Brendon Semenuk. Joining Genon on the podium were Martin Soderstrom and Cameron McCaul. Several riders pulled out of the competition with injuries sustained from their falls, or mechanical problems with the bikes.
But the Joyride slopestyle contest has a history of improbable winners. In 2004 a relatively unknown rider named Paul Basagoitia showed up in Whistler on a whim, entered the contest and won. Then he won again the following year, turning him into a household name among mountain bikers. Some of the sport's top riders have yet to stand atop the podium while lesser-known competitors like Greg Watts and Ben Boyko have shot to glory.
Genon wasn't even aware he won until someone told him as he prepared for another descent down the course. "I was fixing my music at the top of the run and someone came over to tell me that I won the comp," said Genon, who was mobbed at the finish by friends and doused with champagne.
The course changes slightly every year, and the 2012 even saw the addition of a massive 60-foot gap jump, as well as a platform above the cabin drop near the finish. Genon was the only rider to flip the step-up onto the cabin. While winds made it difficult—and dangerous—for the riders, many competitors approved of the course. "This might be my favorite slopestyle course at Crankworx, ever," said Cameron McCaul. "I love the big jumps, huge drops and technical features."
Event organizers estimate that more than 25,000 fans filled the resort base area to watch the competition, which was also streamed live by Red Bull. Darren Kinnaird, Crankworx's general manager, said it was the largest crowd ever for a sporting event at Whistler. That's an impressive feat considering the mountain hosted several Olympic competitions in 2010. For his effort, Genon walked away with $25,000. Not a bad payday for a 19-year-old mountain biker from Belgium.
