Act my age? What the fuck is that, act my age? What do I care how old I am?
The Ocean is old as fuck.
It will still drown your ass with vigor.
RIP PLATINUM VAGINA THREAD </3 | Watch my bullshit.
I could've picked any quote from you for this, but whatever. You keep talking about clues and proof and such. Where's your evidence for me being the killer? Why are you voting for me? I haven't seen you say a single thing in the thread other than that people should vote for me. That's kind of suspicious coming from the guy touting a need for actual reasoning to make a vote.
I'm starting to think you're the wolf or the snake, to be honest.
I didn't, actually. Hank voted for Jster, then two people voted for me. I only went for Jster to save my own ass, yes, because I want to stay alive to use my lynch vote to kill suspicious people. Wanting to stay alive in the game is nothing suspicious, everyone but Hank with his ghost role is wanting to stay alive as long as possible in the game to catch the killers. That's kind of the goal.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't actually want Jster to die, I just voted for him to save my own ass. Now it seems bandwagon voting has happened to such a degree that I can't change my vote or I assure my own demise. If votes turn toward someone actually suspicious such that I don't suicide by changing my vote, I will gladly turn my two mayoral votes to another target.
Funny thing is that Grey and I are not in cahoots. The only person who that term sort of applies with is Zed, as has been made obvious earlier in the thread. Grey and I have talked a little bit (one PM to me, one back to him) but we aren't together in this game in any way. If we were he probably would have stayed voting for Jster to try and keep me alive, don't you think?
Except I don't want him gone, I just want to live.
I'm curious about this as well. You're supposedly going to prove I'm not the snake or wolf, yet as far as I know you've got nothing to prove this because I've never sent you a screencap or anything of my role. I have a feeling it's going to be a bunch of rampant speculation rather than solid proof, which is unfortunate.
Did you know we have a Writer of the Month contest? Come join it.

Miami's Best Flan: Versailles, Cuban Guys, Little Havana and More
Flan regular from la ventana . |
8. Casa Lario's
Casa Lario's was our pick for Best Flan this year. But since these top ten lists are designed to give you alternatives, we chose someone else to be number 1. Flan at Casa Lario's, though, is still on point ($4.25). There's a predominantly burnt almibar, which can be a little overwhelming if you're not into caramelized sugar. We are, so it was perfect. While the texture is a little more gelatinous than we like, the sweet and creamy flavor over-powers the minor downfall.
Flan regular to go. |
7. Little Havana
For 15 years, we grew up eating at Little Havana almost once a week. If there's anything the place offers, it's consistency. But it also offers a great flan ($3.49). While this one is slightly sweeter than we'd normally prefer, the texture is damn near perfect. The soft, creamy, supple custard swims in syrup, and nearly does the butterfly stroke on your palate. It has a great balance of vanilla and caramelized sugar flavors, and even a hint of cinnamon.

Keeping with the blogging of the world posts for the next week I sincerely believe that Lanzerac Hotel needed it's very own blog post.
Situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands this hotel boasts a five star rating and with very good reason. The service staff is always smiling, seem to really love their job and are absolutely helpful in the true sense of the word absolute. You want something, they deliver.
The first and most astounding thing about the hotel is the vastness of the setting. I can't tell you how many acres of land it occupies but it appears o be absolutely massive.
The very next thing that you'll notice is the very old looking victorian-styled design of the hotel. Don't mistake me, it's not like the architect thought that the victorian era was a winner. It's that the hotel is over 300 years old. Yes, that's right. 300 years. I saw one of the logos on a menu and it had a date printed on it, 1692. I can't verify if that is the date of building, hotel establishment date or what, but it's a very old date.
Nevertheless, onwards. The rooms were really something to behold. Massive hotel rooms make for very comfortable living let me tell you. A desk for those who want to work with multiplugs for almost any nations power points to plug in to, a coffee table and two chairs, immaculate bedding tucked, folded and neat just the way I like and ofcourse a television for those of us who were too tired to do anything else.
I was fortunate in a strange way. I had planned to stay up and work at my night at Lanzerac. This took me to about 2am the next morning which meant that I really got to enjoy the magnificent room and setting.
Breakfast the following morning was incredibly laid out and once again supported by smiling and caring staff. The hot breakfast was design, but of course, and the esspresso was one of the best I've had in a long time.
Unfortunately that was it. We were literally only in the hotel for 12 hours sadly and had to depart.
I will be returning to this Cape Winelands gem, not for the wine although there is plenty of that.

frances322 - I have got some names I suggested Freddie Dafydd John and Freddie Spencer. We also like Stephen and Edward.
Out of the names you suggested only ones we liked was Blane and Mitchell. The others were too surnamey.
Thank you thatkathryngirl.
Flamingo - I like your suggestions Reid I like but makes me think of reading a book. Max - is my cousins little boys name. Niall - my boyfriend ain't keen on as its too close to Neil. James I said in original post names that are a no no this being one of them.
ashthrdreamer - thank you. - Freddie Dafydd and Freddie Leon we like.
We like Freddie Patrick but I prefer Freddie Patrick John.
Freddie Christopher is nice but that name gives me goosebumps after being in school with 10 Christopher's.
Any more suggestions anyone.

Thanks Kelly-
Went back and read your original post. So sorry I missed that!! That would have been helpful before replying. Anyway, good to know you don't like surnames. I agree with previous posters, Freddie Spencer (and Freddie Stephen) doesn't flow well, but I really like Freddie Dafydd John- I think that is a beautiful name! Also, I'm not a fan of Freddie Edward together- I can hear the "ed" sound in Freddie too much to then be followed by Edward. I will contemplate and see if I have any more combinations to share. Good luck!Mother of Harold Jonathan, nn Hal

Yeah more names would be good as I have a fussy boyfriend.
Thank you Freddie Dafydd John is my fave combo as David Fred and David John are my grandads names (Dafydd welsh version of David).
I don't think that Freddie Stephen and Freddie Edward went which was why I didn't say them first of all.
What kind of names do you think would go with Stephen and Edward as MNs - other names we like are Rhys, Lucas, Caleb, Corey and Kieran - just so you know our kinda style in names.
June 19th, 2013 01:05 PM #14
What about using Freddie Rhys? It's got a great flow and almost the same sound but this way it won't give you the 'read' connection. I agree with a previous poster that one-syllable middle names sound especially great with Freddie. Freddie Luke, or even shortening your earlier combo to just Freddie John is great if you ask me. Most of the other names you like sound fine with Stephen or Edward as middles. Good luck! =]
Fred Stephen, Caleb Stephen, Corey Stephen, David Stephen
David Edward, Lucas Edward, Rhys Edward, Kieran Edward

For the first time in several years, Hanover Public School District has failed to make adequate yearly progress, according to data given to the district by the state Department of Education.
Because Hanover Middle School and Hanover High School did not meet all of the state's measures of progress, the district overall could not reach the status of making "Adequate Yearly Progress."
As a result of not meeting some of the state's progress targets, the district moved to a "warning" status, which requires making an action plan to address problem areas, according to school officials.
For at least five years, every school district in the Hanover-Adams County area has made adequate yearly progress, though results have varied at individual schools. The last case in which a local district didn't make progress was Hanover Public in 2006.
Adequate yearly progress is determined by the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment scores for grades 3 through 8 and 11, test participation and the graduation rate of the high school. The state has not yet released its 2012 adequate yearly progress report, which is due out later this month and will include the results of all Pennsylvania school districts.
After receiving preliminary progress data from the state in July, Hanover Public School District recently got more detailed information, Superintendent Al Moyer said.
As usual, there were areas of strength and areas that need improvement as Hanover, like every district in the state, attempts to meet the goal of 100-percent proficiency by 2014 under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Each of the elementary schools made adequate yearly progress, with Hanover Street Elementary showing strong scores in math at 86.4 percent proficient, and Washington Elementary School scoring 81 percent proficient in the subject.
But several of the schools missed the state targets of being 78 percent proficient in math and 81 percent proficient in reading, making adequate yearly progress through exceptions that take into account growth in scores or the potential of the students based on projected scores for the future.
"We feel like we have flatlined somewhat, and we don't want to be in a flatline situation," Moyer said. "We want our students to progress and achieve."
High school results
One of the questions that arises from the results is whether Hanover High School will remain on the state's list of the lowest-achieving 15 percent of secondary schools, which is determined by the PSSA results.
Hanover High School was put on the list this summer because of its 2010-11 PSSA results and students at the school now have the option to transfer to a different public or non-public school through a new scholarship program. The next list comes out in February and will use the 2012 PSSA data.
Moyer said the school won't know how it fared for several months.
But the problem area at the high school this time around was the school's graduation rate, rather than its PSSA scores, the superintendent said. Looking at the broad picture, Hanover High School met 10 out of the 12 state targets, failing only when it came to the graduation rate. The new graduation rate formula in 2012 takes into account whether a student graduates in four years, or if the student takes longer to finish school.
The state's target to make adequate yearly progress was a graduation rate of 85 percent. Hanover High School's rate was 77 percent for overall students and 76.53 percent for its "White/Non-Hispanic" subgroup.
Because it missed the two graduation rate targets, the school failed to make adequate yearly progress.
As the state moved to a greater proficiency target on the PSSA exams, schools had to have 78 percent proficiency in math and 81 percent proficiency in reading.
Hanover High was 56 percent proficient in math and 63 percent proficient in reading, but still made AYP because the scores reflect a 10 percent reduction in the percentage of students who scored below proficient.
Moyer said that, while the district isn't making excuses for not meeting the graduation rate target, he feels the formula is flawed. According to Moyer, students are considered the same as "dropouts" in the formula if they need to stay behind a year.
"Ideally, when eighth-graders come to ninth grade, we'd like to have them finish in four years," he said. "But more importantly, in my opinion, is that they do finish."
If public schools are penalized for holding students back a grade, Moyer fears it could put pressure on them to move kids forward a grade whether they're ready for it or not.
Addressing the issues
Regardless of the formula, the superintendent said the district recognizes there is work to do at the high school.
"We feel the new leadership there is going to be a major plus," he added, referencing the school's new principal, Joel Hain. "We're going to work very hard to try to find what it takes to motivate those students to earn those extra credits."
The district's cyber school presents an option for students to earn credits to graduate through online learning, Moyer said, which might be helpful to some.
The district plans to use diagnostic tests created by the state to get a feel for where high school students are struggling and to identify students who need further help. The assessments have been used with success at the elementary schools and middle school, Moyer said.
The high school is also preparing for the implementation of the Keystone Exams, which will replace the 11th grade PSSA and will be taken this year after students complete Algebra I, Literature and Biology. The school is also preparing diagnostic tests to measure students' aptitude for the areas that will be tested.
"That will help us diagnose students and provide intervention strategies," Moyer said. "We also plan on having guidance counselors and administrators working with kids who aren't being successful."
Middle school results
While the high school's annual results put it in the state's "Warning" status, the middle school's failure to show improvement among its subgroups of special education and economically disadvantaged students caused it to drop into "School Improvement II" after being in "School Improvement I."
The change means that the school will be required to offer supplemental education services after school, according to the district's director of curriculum instruction, Pam Smith, the former middle school principal.
Students who need extra services can participate in the district's program, which includes the Bridge to Success program and the C.O.S.M.I.C. program offered with the YWCA of Hanover, or the district will fund the costs of students using outside institutions, like the Sylvan Learning Center.
If the school does not make adequate yearly progress in 2012-13, it will fall into the "Corrective Action" category, which can result in more drastic requirements like replacing school staff related to the problem areas, revising curriculum or extending the school year or school day.
The middle school met 19 out of the 21 targets, but learning support students - identified as students with an Individualized Education Program to address their special needs - scored only 24.6 percent proficient in math and 26.3 percent in reading, according to the district's data.
Moyer noted that to qualify for learning support, students have to generally perform two years below grade level.
And they're asked to take a test that's on grade level, Smith added.
"(The result) is certainly not surprising, but that doesn't mean we're not going to work hard to help students that are in the IEP category to move into proficiency levels," Moyer said. "That's a pretty big challenge for IEP kids."
The school has already started more intensive work with its learning support students so that they can improve in the areas of math and reading, Smith said.
And as it works toward 100 percent proficiency - an uphill battle for all school districts - Moyer said the entire district needs to keep trying to move forward.
"You're only a failure when you stop trying," he said, "and that's got to be a message that we send to our kids."
email@example.com; 717-637-3736, ext. 140; Twitter: @HFaulhefer
The main goal of the federal No Child Left Behind Act is to bring all students up to 100-percent proficiency in math and reading by 2014. But as the deadline draws closer, many including local educators question whether it is a reachable goal.
Critics say the law is rigid and unrealistic, and that it promotes teaching to the test and leads to schools being labeled as "failures" if their students don't meet the targets.
In fact, several states applied for and were granted No Child Left Behind Act waivers from President Barack Obama this year in exchange for promising higher standards and the creation of their own accountability programs. Those states no longer face the deadline for proficiency, though they do have to set targets for improvement.
Pennsylvania has not applied for a waiver, and the state said its education secretary, Ron Tomalis, is carefully weighing the benefits of a waiver compared to the costs and effort required to make the change.
Local schools began to predict last year that more districts and schools would not make adequate yearly progress in 2012. The state Department of Education plans to release the 2012 adequate yearly progress information later this month, but schools have been getting more detailed data in recent weeks and are in the process of reviewing it.

Know your risks: a crucial part of a Board's risk management strategy must be assessment and evaluation of its directors' and officers' personal liability.A recent survey of boards of directors of TSX-listed companies found that Canadian directors consider their current risk of potential claims to be high, with future risk even higher. The study shows some remarkable results for Canadian companies This is a list of companies from Canada.
Directory: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Current Companies compared to their U.S. counterparts. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The survey was commissioned by Bishop Phillips and conducted by the CIBC CIBC Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce CIBC Centres Interinstitutionnels de Bilan de Compétences CIBC Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control (Trinidad) CIBC Commercial International Brokerage Company Centre for Corporate Governance Corporate Governance The relationship between all the stakeholders in a company. This includes the shareholders, directors, and management of a company, as defined by the corporate charter, bylaws, formal policy, and rule of law. and Risk Management at Simon Fraser Simon Fraser may refer to: Lords Lovat:
D & O essentials Respondents say they expect that changes in Canada's business climate will result in increased litigation An action brought in court to enforce a particular right. The act or process of bringing a lawsuit in and of itself; a judicial contest; any dispute. When a person begins a civil lawsuit, the person enters into a process called litigation. and mounting legal costs, with the greatest potential claims arising from inadequate or inaccurate disclosure. The greatest source of those claims, respondents say, will be from shareholders and large institutional investors Institutional Investor A non-bank person or organization that trades securities in large enough share quantities or dollar amounts that they qualify for preferential treatment and lower commissions. . The respondents strongly agree that Directors and Officers (D & O) insurance is important for the recruitment and retention of qualified directors. And with 60% of current directors due to retire by 2009, the recruitment of new qualified directors is paramount. As one survey respondent said: "Ten years ago we said, 'If you conduct yourself in a prudent manner you don't need D & O insurance.' The outside environment has changed. You will not attract good directors without D & O." The chances of being sued, the cost of defending claims, the ease of class actions, and the size of settlements have all soared in recent years. The survey showed that reporting Canadian companies receive claims against directors at about the same rate as U.S. companies. Boards need to evaluate whether their company's indemnities and insurance are providing adequate coverage. As Elissa Sirovatka, principal of Tillinghast, a risk-management consulting firm Noun 1. consulting firm - a firm of experts providing professional advice to an organization for a fee consulting company business firm, firm, house - the members of a business organization that owns or operates one or more establishments; "he worked for a owned by Towers Perrin Towers Perrin is a global professional services firm. It was established 1 March 1934 as Towers, Perrin, Forster & Crosby. The umbrella name of Towers Perrin was adopted in 1987. , points out: "The inclusion of directors' and officers' personal assets in the Enron and Worldcom settlements accelerated the number of inquiries from boards. Board members now recognize their accountability and are questioning their own levels of coverage." Reviewing policies According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the new Canadian New Canadian Noun Canad a recent immigrant to Canada survey, 25% of independent directors engaged an insurance consultant to review their policy coverage and close to 40% requested changes to their policies including special clauses, extra coverage, and changes in policy language. These figures are high compared to the U.S. and are another sign that Canadian directors are increasingly paying attention Noun 1. paying attention - paying particular notice (as to children or helpless people); "his attentiveness to her wishes"; "he spends without heed to the consequences" attentiveness, heed, regard to their personal risks. Sixty-eight per cent of the companies who responded to the survey engaged the services of an insurance consultant with special expertise in D & O insurance; 62% of respondents have their corporate counsel review the annual application and policy with 42% of respondents retaining external legal counsel. A common fallacy fallacy, in logic, a term used to characterize an invalid argument. Strictly speaking, it refers only to the transition from a set of premises to a conclusion, and is distinguished from falsity, a value attributed to a single statement. is that all D & O insurance policies are alike. When asked "Do you think that most D & O policies sold in Canada offer generally similar terms and use substantially similar language?", 63% of the survey respondents said yes. The truth is, there is a huge disparity in exclusions, extra cover and definitions. D & O policies are complicated. As one respondent pointed out: "The D & O policies are almost incomprehensible (and I am a corporate lawyer!). It is almost impossible to deal with issues such as priority of payments, allocation, insured versus insured exclusions, cancellation rights, non-renewal, extended reporting and a number of other exclusions." Sarah Robson of Marsh Canada and Trevor Mapplebeck of Mercer Oliver Wyman in Toronto point out in the March 2006 issue of Canadian Insurance: "In the current marketplace, coverage is negotiable, D & O coverage is extremely complex, and no two wordings are alike so it is essential that a detailed coverage analysis be completed to understand the nuances in the various coverage offerings." Risk ranges: Canada and the U.S. The survey also revealed that just over half of the respondents know if their coverage will still be valid if the company's staff or other directors provide inaccurate information or omit key information in the annual application for insurance. And only 28% say their company has financial reserves or money in trust to cover directors' legal fees or liability incurred before D & O policy deductible is exceeded. Often directors assume that, since they are covered by the same policy as the CEO, they have first-class protection. The truth is that rarely do CEOs get involved in evaluating the quality of their D & O policies. They often rely on a non-legal employee or corporate counsel who negotiates one D & O policy a year. Match that with an underwriter who negotiates policies every day of the year and you have an unfair advantage in favour of the underwriter, which can lead to harsh results for the insured. Another fallacy is that the majority of lawsuits are made against very large corporations. According to AIG AIG addressee indicator group (US DoD) AIG American International Group, Inc AiG Answers in Genesis (religious group in defense of Scripture) AIG Artificial Intelligence Group AIG Australian Industry Group , in 2004, only 1 in 18 companies facing a class action lawsuit class action lawsuit A lawsuit in which one party or a limited number of parties sue on behalf of a larger group to which the parties belong. For example, investors may bring a class action lawsuit against a brokerage firm that has actively promoted a tax was a Fortune 500 company. The overwhelming majority are companies with sales of less than $100 million. Understanding the risks and ensuring insurance policies cover those risks is crucial. A 2004 study indicated Canadian directors are twice as likely as U.S. directors to have the insurer deny coverage of a claim (14% in Canada compared with 7% in the U.S.). But that number is on the rise. In the most recent study, although the actual number of claims was small, a staggering one-third of the coverage was disputed by the insurance company. This presents a serious problem for companies trying to recruit directors. Do you tell a prospective director that if there is a claim, there's a 33% chance the insurance company may not step up to cover it? And that's not the only issue Canadian directors and officers face. Being a director of a Canadian company carries a much wider range of risks than U.S. directors. Canadian directors are personally liable for unpaid taxes, unpaid wages, and environmental damages. If a company's operations have resulted in contaminated contaminated, v 1. made radioactive by the addition of small quantities of radioactive material. 2. made contaminated by adding infective or radiographic materials. 3. an infective surface or object. water and the company goes insolvent, directors are personally liable for clean-up costs. Statistically it doesn't happen often, but Canadian directors seem unaware that they are personally liable under a range of laws that is much more extensive than those affecting directors of U.S. companies. Changes But things are changing. Eighty per cent of survey respondents reported taking measures to strengthen the role of independent directors, to improve transparency in reporting, and to strengthen audit and risk management committees. Although this may be prompted more by new compliance legislation designed to boost investor confidence, this actually offers greater opportunity for enhanced performance. As Robson and Mapplebeck say, this can "create meaningful information about the business that the board and management can use to ensure risk management is about more than mere compliance, but about advantage." Melanie Woodard McGee, CPA (Computer Press Association, Landing, NJ) An earlier membership organization founded in 1983 that promoted excellence in computer journalism. Its annual awards honored outstanding examples in print, broadcast and electronic media. The CPA disbanded in 2000. , agrees. In her November 2005 CMA CMA - Concert Multithread Architecture from DEC. Management article she notes: "Although compliance requirements Compliance requirements are a series of directives established by United States Federal government agencies that summarize hundreds of Federal laws and regulations applicable to Federal assistance (also known as Federal aid or Federal funds). may be the catalyst for leaders to address the issues of risk management, effectively managing organizational risks carries with it the potential to yield significant benefits. Indeed, properly identifying, measuring and managing organizational risks offers real opportunities for improved performance." Clearly, boards need to review all aspects of their D & O risk including: corporate indemnity (a necessity whether or not there is D & O insurance); qualifications of insurance broker or consultant; reputation of the insurance company; terms of the existing policy; and key issues in making a claim. With a solid D & O policy in place, companies can confidently attract and recruit the most qualified directors. Paul Reynolds Paul Reynolds may refer to:

A store that appears too noisy or cluttered can turn away customers but installing LED screens are a great way to get your message across to customers in the least intrusive and effective manner.
Retailers who don't bother about shopping centre clutter will have distracted and confused customers on hand. Customers don't want to be bombarded with cacophony and an endless deluge of kiosks, greeters or TV screens as soon as they enter a shopping centre. It will not take long for them to be disillusioned with the entire information overload. LED screens are an effective medium to engage with customers that will help them purchase what they need and get them back for repeat sales.
The effective use of LED digital screens in shopping centres has been of great help to retailers. Through them, retailers can communicate about various in store specials, manage store traffic and direct customers to different parts of the store, and even convey specific brand information.
As opposed to a mobile LED screen, indoor screens can be integrated into the shopping centre structure that will actually help customers to have a better retail shopping experience. Sophisticated systems with high quality audio output and high definition video images can be used to create a highly enriching and customised consumer experience. For LED digital screens to boost sales, it is important to integrate them into retail spaces keeping customers needs and requirements in mind.
All retailers have their own targets with regard to sales of specific products. An LED screen provides the best opportunity to materialise this when it is used to promote and remind customers about the products and its benefits. The screen is the most potent method of providing valuable information to customers when they are really looking for it and are ready to make a purchasing decision.
Consistent and powerful messaging on a screen made with LED which does not distract or overwhelm the customer is of paramount importance. At no time should the content appear repetitive, confusing or too loud. It is very important to maintain some minimum standards with regard to usage of these screens. Effective content is that which draws customer traffic and helps boost overall sales. Corporate branding through display signage can enhance a retailer's reputation and help raise customer awareness.
The content of an LED screen in shopping centres should entertain, captivate, inform as well as motivate customers to make purchases. This explains the reasons for popularity of shopping centre signage.

New images for 'Men in Black III' have emerged of "J" (Will Smith) and a much-younger "K" (Josh Brolin) in front of Relish, a now-closed diner in Brooklyn. The light-bulb covered cyclists (a recurring visual staple of the franchise) were also spotted on set. Filming on the time-traveling sequel is scheduled to continue next month for a few days at the historic Grashorn Building on Coney Island.
The Barry Sonnenfeld directed sci-fi action film will be in theaters May 25th, 2012 and stars Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin and Emma Thompson.

When you've had an iDevice for years, it's pretty easy for some of those tried and true iOS animations to quickly become old hat. After all, when it comes to the basic GUI for the operating system, the truth is it really hasn't changed much since its initial version. Features have simply been added and expanded upon while the core mechanics of how things operate remain as standard as ever. Still if, you're someone that has gone through the process of broadening your programming horizons through a jailbreak, odds are you're not the type of person that likes things to stay just the way they are.
In that vein, DisplayCandy is here to save the day! Rather than the simple shrink, installing this app will allow you to switch between apps in a variety of different ways including a turning motion or a full and broad shrink to the corner that is a bit more akin to minimizing a window within OSX. However aside from changing how your apps alternate, this utility also lets you customize that experience as well by letting you select exactly which animation to use for the actions of opening, closing, and switching applications.
For just $2.00 from the BigBoss repo, this can all be yours provided your device is at iOS 5.0 or higher.

If you reward people by giving them XP for up-voting, and
punish them for down-voting (this is, assuming people care
about their XP), on top of the already existing social
pressure of prefering up-votes, you make up-voting even more
meaningless. Votes have meaning if casters have choices, with
equal gain for each choice.
It can be quite fun to get XP, look to see what for, and discover that some old node of yours was rediscovered.How do you do that? Abigail In reply to Re: Possible changes to Voting/XP (down ne !up)

This Photo Friday, I bring you Croatia's Capital at its warm and wintry best. Check out more about the #ironroute over here and watch this space for the words…They're on their way…
Croatia seems to become a very popular travel destination and we can understand why:)
Love the pictures! Went through Zagreb and that entire area in 1986. Fell in love then with the people and beauty of the area. Looking forward to returning… Nice job!
I really enjoyed these photos. That market (or what I assume was one) looks fun. I was in Zagreb for just a couple hours in 1997 on my way to the Croatian coast from Budapest. When I go back to that area, I want to spend some time there because I enjoy the smaller or less touristy cities of Eastern Europe.
Awww … these photos make me so happy. I love Zagreb and have been to those places you shot (and have my own photos from there). I love that you spent time in this city. I think it gets overlooked a lot since Croatia also has the sea and islands. Glad you are helping to show off its beauty!!
If there are many close ups, which showcase a city, I would guess that the city isn't the most beautiful place to shoot photos… :) Just a guess! Your photos are very nice again… Also the close-ups!
Or a photographer with a weakness for close-ups I suppose ;) No, Zagreb doesn't have quite the same panoramic views as, say, Istanbul, Paris or London. The old town packs in a punchy atmosphere of new urban chic and remnants of medieval times but the streets are very narrow…Also, it's not all that easy to differentiate between the buildings. I ended up passing through a security gate at what looked as though it was a museum but turned out to be a main government building. Neither I nor Zagreb come out of that particular story looking good ;)
Dear Abigail, Your photos of Zagreb are really great, but I have to say that Zagreb was never ever behind The Iron Curtain!! Let me explain: olthough communist (socialist) country, former Yugoslavia was not a part of Eastern Block ie the member of the Warsaw Pact. Please read for yourself the wiki article. You will see the former Yugoslavia on the map marked green, and countries behind the Iron Curtain marked red. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Curtain
This applies to Belgrade, Sarajevo, Skopje, Ljubljana and Podgorica – the capitals of ex Yugoslavia Republic. (Yugoslavia was a federation )
Hey – I know we discussed this on Google plus but for the benefit of other readers, I'm reposting the exchange here:
Hi Mali. Don't worry – I've never claimed that Zagreb was behind the Iron Curtain. Check out this article of mine which touches on the subject…http://www.insidethetravellab.com/the-iron-curtain/
Mali MrakNov 12, 2012
Thank you Abigail for your response, sorry I didn't see that article. I am glad you've met the people who already helped to clear that issue. Just before I stumbled upon your blog, I was reading the rewiev of Skyfall movie, where the author claims Zagreb is behind the Iron Courtain in James Bond's "From Russia with love" movie. Back than, the difference between Iron Courtain countries and Yugoslavia was so big, that such uneducated claims puzzle us, people here, especially when turists come arround with the wrong presumptions about our history.

phone cannot access mobile web app..why???
I built an ASP.NET mobile web application last year for fun and hosted
it on my home server. I was successful in accessing it with my Sprint
phone, which uses the "Obigo 1.1.4 WAP 2.0" browser. Now, I'm with
Verizon and my current phone also uses an Openwave WAP 2.0 browser, but
I cannot access my mobile web site. When I punch in the URL, it hangs
for long time, then it gives me the error "Error: Request timed out".
I asked a friend who is with AT&T to try it on his cell phone, and it
works. So, my app is working. I dont know if it's a problem with my
new phone's browser software (do I need to upgrade it?), or with the
Verizon service (maybe they block something on their network).
Another concern is that my home internet service provider blocks port 80
on our network. So i had to use another port, like 81. So to access my
web app, the URL would be something like http://myapp.mydomain.com:81.
Could it be that my phone's browser does not recognize this non-default
Any ideas? Anyone with Verizon that is able to successful access .NET
mobile web apps?

i would suggest downloading the openwave emulator to see if you get the same
problem on the emulator. if you do not, then it could be an issue with
verizon's connectivity with your site and not the browser.
also, try connecting from another verizon phone and see what happens.
Thank You,

The 2824 seems to be a great an universal movement and I am inclined to say, there must be a reason, that the 2824 is probably the most used movement for modifications. Vincent Calabrese and many other AHCI watch geniuses have used the ETA 2824 base caliber for their fantastic creations. So there must be something good about this "Volkswagen" of watch calibers. One good thing is for sure: wherever on this watch planet you are, you will be able to buy spare parts. And to me, that is a good and reassuring feeling and more important then having a sophisticated in-house caliber on the wrist. But then of course and luckily, all our preferences are different, and that makes the watch world such a wonderful one.

This is not a food blog, though.
I've been a lazy worm for so long. *sighs* Why am I keep breaking my own promises? I failed to be myself so much. ;___; Anyway, let's move on to my lazy life.
My cousin and I went to Sushi Tei to have our lunch. This restaurant normally sells expensive sushi, but since it was having lunch set promotion, we rushed to have its meals.
I don't eat egg custard, but Sushi Tei's egg custard is nice! Yummy!
Cousin ordered this.
I think my lunch tasted better! ♥
Yes, I still have other food pics to post, but I'll stop here for now. By the way, I'm going to Liverpool next week, on 24th of May! I'm a bit scared and excited!

Friends call me Del Boy and say I should go on The Apprentice!
Posted: September 20, 2013
|By Gemma Toulson
WITH a huge market of people keen to target the cause of their snores, a budding business woman spotted a gap in the market when she bought thousands of bottles of liquidated snoring solutions stock.
Sacha Wise, 26, of Kelvin Road, Carlton, made such a success of selling Asonor nasal sprays online that she was able to give up her job as a medical secretary.
Affectionately nicknamed DelBoy by her friends, Sacha seized on an opportunity to buy thousands of bottles of the product from a wholesaler website eight months ago.
At 26p per bottle, she paid a snip of the £16 per bottle recommended retail price and was able to undercut all of her competitors by selling the nasal spray for £6 a bottle.
Initially, she combined her new business with working full-time, which meant she had to find the time to post orders during her lunch break.
But after sales through wholesaler websites rocketed, she felt confident enough to leave her job earlier this year to concentrate on running the business full time.
Sacha said: "I bought a couple of thousands bottles of liquidated stock and I had to persuade my grandma to store it in her home.
"There wasn't a particular reason why I chose snoring solutions, I had searched for an opportunity online and I bought the stock from the biggest clearance website.
"I have got a degree in biomedical sciences, so I know a lot about the physiological systems of the body.
"The product has a 75 per cent success rate. It is a brand which has a very loyal following because it works. A lot of people have told me that it's helped to save their marriage.
"I have got friends whose dads snore so I have given them free samples."
She added: "Reading Alan Sugar's biography inspired me to buy the snoring solutions because he started by selling car aerials out of a van. I thought, if he can do that then I can sell snoring solutions.
"My friends call me Del Boy and they say I should go on The Apprentice.
"There are a lot of different opportunities online. I like the flexibility is gives you.
"I have learned a lot from doing this. I have learned what not to do and what is profitable."
After selling out of most of the stock, Sacha now plans to wind up the snoring solutions business.
As well as being a businesswoman, she is also passionate about performance poetry and writing. She will go to America in October for three months after winning a Nottingham Roosevelt travelling scholarship. When she returns from the States, she plans to put her experience of running the snoring solutions business to good use by starting a software development company.
Sacha's friends Raphael Blake, 22, a performance poet of Waverley Street, said: "She's on the ball, makes informed decisions, works hard and is an unstoppable force."
Another friend, Elena Hargreaves, 27, a singer-songwriter from Nottingham, added: "Sacha is a future female Alan Sugar. She's very driven and her mind is brilliant."

Brain in a vat
In philosophy, the brain in a vat is an element used in a variety of thought experiments intended to draw out certain features of our ideas of knowledge, reality, truth, mind, and meaning. It is drawn from the idea, common to many science fiction stories, that a mad scientist, machine or other entity might remove a person's brain from the body, suspend it in a vat of life-sustaining liquid, and connect its neurons by wires to a supercomputer which would provide it with electrical impulses identical to those the brain normally receives. According to such stories, the computer would then be simulating reality (including appropriate responses to the brain's own output) and the person with the "disembodied" brain would continue to have perfectly normal conscious experiences without these being related to objects or events in the real world.
The simplest use of brain-in-a-vat scenarios is as an argument for philosophical skepticism and solipsism. A simple version of this runs as follows: Since the brain in a vat gives and receives exactly the same impulses as it would if it were in a skull, and since these are its only way of interacting with its environment, then it is not possible to tell, from the perspective of that brain, whether it is in a skull or a vat. Yet in the first case most of the person's beliefs may be true (if he believes, say, that he is walking down the street, or eating ice-cream); in the latter case they are false. Since the argument says one cannot know whether he or she is a brain in a vat, then he or she cannot know whether most of his or her beliefs might be completely false. Since, in principle, it is impossible to rule out oneself being a brain in a vat, there cannot be good grounds for believing any of the things one believes; one certainly cannot know them.
The brain-in-a-vat is a contemporary version of the argument given in buddhist Maya illusion, Plato's Allegory of the Cave, Zhuangzi's "Zhuangzi dreamed he was a butterfly", and the evil demon in René Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy.
Contents[hide] |
[edit] Philosophical responses
Such puzzles have been worked over in many variations by philosophers in recent decades. American philosopher Hilary Putnam popularized the modern terminology over Descartes's "evil demon," although it brings up such complications and objections as whether the mind is reducible to the workings of a brain. Some, including Barry Stroud, continue to insist that such puzzles constitute an unanswerable objection to any knowledge claims.[1] Hilary Putnam, in his 1981 book Reason, Truth, and History, argued against the special case of a brain born in a vat.[2] In the first chapter of his book, Putnam claims that the thought experiment is inconsistent on the grounds that a brain born in a vat could not have the sort of history and interaction with the world that would allow its thoughts or words to be about the vat that it is in.
In other words, if a brain in a vat stated "I am a brain in a vat", it would always be stating a falsehood. If the brain making this statement lives in the "real" world, then it is not a brain in a vat. On the other hand, if the brain making this statement is really just a brain in the vat then by stating "I am a brain in a vat" what the brain is really stating is "I am what nerve stimuli have convinced me is a 'brain,' and I reside in an image that I have been convinced is called a 'vat'." That is, a brain in a vat would never be thinking about real brains or real vats, but rather about images sent into it that resemble real brains or real vats. This of course makes our definition of "real" even more muddled. This refutation of the vat theory is a consequence of his endorsement, at that time, of the causal theory of reference. Roughly, in this case: if you've never experienced the real world, then you can't have thoughts about it, whether to deny or affirm them. Putnam contends that by "brain" and "vat" the brain in a vat must be referring not to things in the "outside" world but to elements of its own "virtual world"; and it is clearly not a brain in a vat in that sense. One of the other problems is that the supposed brain in a vat cannot have any evidence for being a brain in a vat, because that would be saying "I have what nerve stimuli have convinced me is evidence to my being a brain in a vat" and also "Nerve stimuli have convinced me of the fact that I am a brain in a vat".
Many writers have found Putnam's proposed solution unsatisfying, as it appears, in this regard at least, to depend on a shaky theory of meaning: that we cannot meaningfully talk or think about the "external" world because we cannot experience it; sounds like a version of the outmoded verification principle.[3] Consider the following quote: "How can the fact that, in the case of the brains in a vat, the language is connected by the program with sensory inputs which do not intrinsically or extrinsically represent trees (or anything external) possibly bring it about that the whole system of representations, the language in use, does refer to or represent trees or any thing external?" Putnam here argues from the lack of sensory inputs representing (real world) trees to our inability to meaningfully think about trees. But it is not clear why the referents of our terms must be accessible to us in experience. One cannot, for example, have experience of other people's private states of consciousness; does this imply that one cannot meaningfully ascribe mental states to others? [4] In effect, Putnam demonstrates that the state of being an envatted brain is invisible and indescribable from within, but it is unclear that this semantic victory goes far to address the problem in relation to knowledge. [5]
Subsequent writers on the topic have been particularly interested in the problems it presents for content: that is, how - if at all - can the brain's thoughts be about a person or place with whom it has never interacted and which perhaps does not exist.
