For years now I've thought of business planning in terms of the special case that I call a business plan event. The business plan event is when you have to produce a business plan for some specific business hurdle or gateway. For example, a startup looking for either angel investors or venture capital needs a business plan to give to interested potential investors. And a business applying for commercial credit needs a business plan to present to the loan officer at the bank. Some other business plan events are the sale of a business, a...

A small business credit card should always be the credit card you use when making business purchases. Transactions such as paying for gas in a company car, buying office supplies or taking clients out for lunch are all acceptable ways to use a small business credit card. When it comes to personal credit cards, you should not use them for business expenses. This can potentially jeopardize the protection of the corporate veil because you are co-mingling funds. Did you know corporate veil piercing is the top litigated issue in corporate law today...

Every year, countless businesses across the country experience hurricanes, blizzards, power outages, fires, tornados, and other events that can temporarily disrupt activities and, in some cases, put them out of business. For instance, in *2010, there were 98,000 fires to nonresidential structures, resulting in $2.6 billion in property damage. Hopefully, business owners are smart enough to carry adequate insurance to offset their property losses and have business recovery plans that enable them to function again. But despite all the planning,...

Fortunately, that makes the rest of this month the ideal time to use your downtime productively by reassessing your marketing strategy.

Asian eyes
Asian eyes
Because I'm Eurasian, my eyes are a different shape to most Westerners. I have the double eyelids but my lids aren't deep set like others. How do I apply my eye make up (eye shadow and liner) without looking like a clown? Thanks.
Hi there, Asian and Eurasian eyes can look fantastic when made up with the right products to enhance their exotic almond shape. Many Asian girls make the mistake of using colours that are too light, such as pale blues and pinks. Pastel tones invariably make the eyes look smaller, whereas dark, warm colours like brown and mauve add definition and are the most flattering to the skin tone.
The key with Asian shaped
eyes is to provide depth through the brow bone area, to give the illusion that the eyes are more deep set. Use a colour that is warm and neutral, (natural rosy browns
work best) and stay away from light and frosty highlighters across the lid, as they will only serve to make the eye area look flat. My favorite colours for contouring are MAC's 'Haux' or Bobbi Brown's 'Taupe'. Both of these are easy to use powder eye shadows that work best applied with a small fluffy brush.
To define the eye, start by lining the top lid with an eye liner. Bobbi Brown's creamy eye pencil in 'Walnut' is a
basic dark brown that blends well with most eyeshadow colours. The secret is to build colour and depth by layering eyeshadow over the pencil line. Rich dark colours like charcoal, brown, aubergine and olive green provide intensity and depth without looking overly made up. Smudge your pencil line along the lower lid as well, taking care to blend with the corresponding shadow to give a smoky effect. A touch of gold or silver highlighter applied to the inner corner of the eye works well when creating a more dramatic look for the evening.
To create the illusion of volume on your lashes, take care to layer your mascara while it is still wet, as this is more effective than applying one thick coat. LOreal's 'Panoramic Curl' is the best mascara for this purpose, as it curls as well as thickens the lashes.

We'll be European Central Bank followed the feds leave this morning with no new monetary policy action -- -- -- and says -- -- three things that they need to address.
He is spending the last hour train with me and a -- this exclusive -- the CEO founder -- rest three point zero asset management and you know -- -- -- capital obviously but.
The situation in Europe is also incredibly effective market psychology today and you did not like what you did not here today and here.
-- likely only getting out of Europe is hyperbole -- more hyperbole we get a different story every week or every two weeks and all they doing is trying to build bridges to nowhere but that's exactly where we're going.
We need substantive to look solutions but the problem is a substance substantive solutions of very very painful.
Andy involved letting some of the weaker members leave the Euro but right now like -- greatest thing and like increase but that people are afraid they don't know -- what the effect is going to be.
And nobody wants to play a game where they don't know what the rules are so.
They're very afraid of doing that the other thing they need to do I think is less than I was -- -- -- we talked about this opens choice of consultants choice chemical was facing us remember that.
-- facilities was -- -- was facing is.
You really need -- year old bond in Europe I mean -- socialize the currency but to have a socialized the risk and you can't do one without the other.
I eurobond or TARP program -- you need you'll unity you need something where everybody is jointly and suddenly liable for everybody's.
Yet and until you -- that -- not consult you know the question of -- costly get so is US exposure.
Two of the Euro crisis and why does this matter and it seems that your your you've been putting up your clients in matters for several reasons bank exposure.
US multinationals that exposure to Europe -- a business over in Europe.
Well first of all European banks in total.
Have about 650.
Billion dollars worth of exposure to what -- the -- company countries that's.
Greece Ireland Italy Portugal and Spain.
Right most -- bit about 450 billion is in the too big to which is Spain and Italy but do you less.
Banks have about a hundred billion dollars with -- social also.
To extend Europe slows down we get fifteen to 20% -- -- corporate earnings in the S and beef from Europe so.
That's a huge contributor to our earnings which already -- so that doesn't bode well far more recently Germany's.
On ten year fell to about 1%.
But US treasuries have been affected they were -- yesterday after the Fed decision affected again today after the -- lack of decision -- -- really handy thing.
From from groggy and where we go from here.
-- the irony is United States is a very weak economy right now in absolute terms we have enormous problems sixteen billion dollars with a -- you don't know.
Direction -- have the policy complete divided electorate.
By all rights there was no way our treasury should be at -- -- one point five and the ten year.
But the irony is we have a flight to quality trade where the United States is the best quality so -- extends the rest of the world continues to weaken I see.
Potentially United States treasury trading down in terms of yield continuously.
Again only on a flight to quality trade that's not the same treacherous quality.
Okay how -- it doesn't take out our country all right we're gonna see you it is a little bit you've got some work.
Specific picks for our viewers to fund some ideas their civil seems so.

Summer Fun: Have a Harry Potter Marathon and Make Butterbeer
Oh, how we love Harry Potter.
I cannot even begin to count how many times we have watched each of the movies.
And, the final one. The final one gets me every single time. I cannot watch it without sobbing.
So, naturally, I had to put "have a Harry Potter marathon" on the summer fun list.
I have been wanting to make Butterbeer for a very long time. When I discovered that Darla at Bakingdom is a huge Harry Potter fan, as well, and had actually re-created Butterbeer, I Continue...

Admission against interest
An out-of-court statement by a party that, when uttered, is against the party's pecuniary, proprietary, or penal interest and that is admissible under both an exclusion (admission by a party-opponent) and an exception (statement against interest) to the rule against hearsay. Such a statement is admissible even if the declarant is available, because an admission by a party-opponent is non-hearsay and, thus, does not require unavailability.
Illustrative caselaw
See, e.g. On Lee v. U.S., 343 U.S. 747 (1952).

John Goodman - December 2, 1989: Frequent host John Goodman returns in this 1989 episode, which includes sketches 'Cooking With The Anal Retentive Chef,' 'Wayne's World,' and 'Gang Parents.' watch
Last week, NBC's ludicrous insta-flop Do No Harm (about a Jekyll-Hyde neurosurgeon) pushed TV's medical genre beyond its melodramatic limits. Taking the completely opposite tack, and likely to get a much longer leash (this being cable), TNT's Monday Mornings (Monday, 10/9c) is a surprisingly mellow drama set at a hospital, about doctors forced to face up to their shortcomings, with an ensemble led by (trend alert?) gorgeous and flawed — though decidedly not bonkers — neurosurgeons, played by Jamie Bamber and Jennifer Finnigan.
Salmonberries movie trailer - starring Chuck Connors, k.d. lang, Rosel Zech, Jane Lind, Oscar Kawagley. Directed by Percy Aldon. Genre: Drama Rating: R
A private eye obsessively follows a beautiful female serial killer - but is the thrill of his voyeurism allowing her to continue her murderous ways? A tightly coiled thriller.
The Eye (Ewan McGregor) is an intelligence agent whose current assignment is to track Joanna Eris (Ashley Judd), a woman suspected of blackmailing a senior government official. But the Eye soon learns that Eris is far more than a blackmailer. She is a seductive, shadowy master of disguise who is a frenzied murderer whose rage is as fierce as her beauty. As he follows her, he becomes fascinated with what he sees. Soon his surveillance becomes a deadly obsession. The closer he gets, the more intense the danger becomes. To catch her would be to lose her, so the odyssey continues until they find themselves on a perilous crash course.
A handsome drifter gets a job as a car salesman in a Texas town and proceeds to plan a slick bank heist in between liasons with his employer's wife.

So there's been some damaging testimony in the trial of former presidential candidate John Edwards is charged with a felony accused of using donor money to cover up an affair.
And a love child with his mistress is messy -- folks on -- Terry joins us live.
At the courthouse in Greensboro, North Carolina where are waiting right now for John Edwards unravel this morning Jonathan good morning.
That's right good morning we're also awaiting testimony from that former campaign aide Andrew Young he's the prosecution's key witness.
And says that John Edwards reacted with skepticism.
When he first learned his mistress real hunter was pregnant according to young quote.
He said that she was -- crazy expletive and it was a one in three chance that it was his child.
Young said Elizabeth Edwards found out about the affair when she answered her sleeping husband's phone without saying anything.
He says that the hunter started talking on the other end thinking that she was speaking with her lover.
Apparently mrs.
Edwards got an earful during that phone call -- -- that must have been something what a tragedy for this whole family and this situation so what did it Andrew -- say.
About the efforts today and conceal this -- Barack.
Quite a bit he spoke about this so called back phone how he acquired this additional cell phone that once Elizabeth Edwards became suspicious and start checking up.
On her husband's cell phone call logs this additional phone that young acquired was something that he could leave for Edwards to pick up.
Whenever he was traveling on business out of the state to maintain.
His secret conversations.
With hunter he also went into great detail about some of the luxury accommodations that were provided to keep hunter in hiding.
But in order to win this trial prosecutors have to convince jurors that nearly one million dollars used to hide Edwards pregnant mistress.
Was not just to prevent his wife from finding out about the affair but to help his presidential campaign -- It's true that this has an impact any of the elements that the government has to prove.
That being said the government has to convince the jury to be mad enough that John Edwards to want to convict him and and named him as a criminal and to do that and they need they need some salacious details like this.
And later today it's expected that the defense will get its first opportunity.
To cross examine Andrew Young -- Yeah -- -- but this little bit more at a rate panel coming up on that.
Jonathan thank you so -- watching.

The player or friend who influenced you to what you are now. Can't help to think that you guys had someone like that to. I wouldn't be here without my bestfriend Nova.
The player or friend who influenced you to what you are now. Can't help to think that you guys had someone like that to. I wouldn't be here without my bestfriend Nova.
you mean influenced my gameplay right? wel:
crazydummy>I switched to Cb rof/EB
dont no who> I switched to EG/EB
JHIPHILZAL> I switched to NG/AD
cleo(something)> I switched to CB/EB
wateraja> I swithed to TK/SG
phlypinoy/v999enom> I BS for 1 week (I dont use it anymore since its unfair)
that all I ques I use TK/SG or EB/CB against good players
and I use houdini+machinegun or nostun EG or pistol/WB against noobs
As ive mentioned before, the BioSocks! Original members btw xp
JudgeofPingas, stepha-fafa, Cleo100, and of couse, most of all VenomDarkness.
(& Rybow73/Wateraja/Phly/EpicFishy a bit as well)
I honestly don't think I was ever influenced by anyone in how I played, (well maybe in the type of play that I would avoided using.)
I've been like that for every game, it's more fun to discover things for yourself, and you learn what you are best at, (instead of just using what everyone else uses like 80% of pretty much any online community.)
I'd Have to say the no stunners reaally influenced me:
annd v999enom (when hes not bs)
I guess the Addicts... More specifically Dmac, Nine, Frenzy, & Fotaine.
I'll list 3 people that have had the biggest impact on me during my career.
Timmer, Rybow(during my first 200 hours) and Gunner
uhh yeah lol
i was influenced by many people....knuckles first of all for screaming at me the whole time when i first started playing to not look at my feet and look up .......(my first shooter) schro for giving me my first cap challenge....str8 and r3d-rum for attempting to teach me to headshot.......lol i still failzzzzz at it......bb for introducing me to rof crossbow, and being a gentlemen and letting me steal all ur turrets lol.........more to come......also fishy i have been hiding from you from the very beginning.......RUN AWAy!
Bioshock was my first multiplayer and thus I've been influenced by many people...
Andariel Letz, Catryn and Blackdeath280 influenced me to buy a headset and play as a team. Dmac influenced me to switch to crossbow after repeatedly shooting my head from the farmers market balcony across the map, to throw barrels, and to ditch res. Gunner influenced me to jump more, no-stun and plain mess-around. Countless others have influenced me to just get better.
I will say that my Jumping wasn't influenced by Gunner but my Shock Jumping was. I didn't know that you could do headshots that way intill i met him.
Gameplay wise i have only been influenced by two people and that would be :
Jaymie Timmer - I pretty much learned all that i know now from him, i give him all the credit because without him i would not be who i am today in bioshock. I learned so many tricks form him, so much info about the bioshock world.
xGODoINoAoBOXx -he taught me a couple of neat tricks and was actually the first person to introduce no stunning to me as a means of having fun and messing around.
These were definitely my biggest influences gameplay wise, its amazing now that i look back on it
xPOWoINoAoBOXx,my first xbox live friend and told me how to headshot in bio .p
Fotaine- With how much I've played against him there's no way he hasn't influenced me (gameplay wise) at least a little. Added a lot to my mentality as well... in a weird way.
Nine- Probably has taught me the most about Bioshock. Turned me into more of a team player and helped me be a better teammate. Helped with my map control as well. Oh and I stole her loadout...
Dmac- When I started playing a twisted my playstyle to be more aggressive. Also cemented my don't leave matches mentality.
Corp and Frenzy- When I started playing with them they were really carefree so I kinda picked up on that. Also Frenzy probably had the biggest influence on my no-stunning.
PeachBomb- A very good player and just improved my play-style generally. It was nice to have someone on the other side who was worthy of killing.
LanceGloryTower- A Nice player and a good sport, if any one has influenced me to be less stressed about winning then it's him.
I'd say Siren was the only one that has had any affect on me, taught me afew tricks with TK and turrets. and of course, how to double hax.
Noone has really changed me or that, I kinda just play like how I play. change on who I'm fighting accordingly. I get messages telling me how I changed people though.
wasnt really influenced by anybody...i just did whatever
Gameplaywise mainly Diabo360, secondary Fluvie who motivated me to improve my Shotgun skills as well as AD (oh yeah and BoxSpam but i dont use that really). He gave me the last rest to get one of the best all loadout players..
Also to mention is Assassinator222 but more in a mental way. We motivated each other to start a lil bit with no stunning and pure mess around private matches...Oh man these KeK matches were hilarious...Great guy
dwg (JUMPING!!), Venom (Somewhat), Judge (Got me interested in EB substitutes), Cleo (Fully interested in no stuns), and Phly (Things here and there, errwhere).
There are probably others, but I can't remember.
JPHIZZAL3. He's still the best NG user I've ever played. He was the only person I was terrified to play against. He made me recognize the sheer power of NG. Proves you don't need stuns for NG to be effective (i.e. no bees).
I'm not sure who it was exactly, but it was a paradigm shift in CTS when someone figured out how to Leg Up and grab the Sister at theh same time. Leg Up was in one of my loadouts after I found that out...
Nailgun shines the most without any particular plasmid use. It is probably the most powerful and consistent of all the weapons without the aid of any plasmid. Paired with Aerodash, it more or less covers the blatant weak point; The start up rev.
Final Fantasy reference?! You are now my favorite Nailgun, primary user.
I was the first known to utilize the Sister Jump Technique. It was at first a modification of placing a geyser trap and subsequently grabbing the little sister and using the already placed geyser trap to bypass the sister pick-up animation. The discovery was a mistake on my part from the use of unfamiliar remapped jump button on L3. I noticed one could place a jump before the grab and use the momentum to do an initial jump, without having to worry about the seemingly long animation. I've found a couple little applications and strategies with this technique that I will possibly share to the bio community in the future. ;]
While I suppose that could be construed as a FFXIII reference, that was not my intent. Perhaps FF should get the credit for having the phrase become more commmonly used in every day conversation, however I don't think it created the term.
That said...let's call LS Leg Up: TIDE TURNER (Saboteur + Synegist). I'm not a fan of XIII for several reasons, one of them it being responsible for destroying two of my PS3 60GBs, so I sort of hold a grudge. Gran Pulse is the destroyer of gen 1 PS3s...
Ehh...sort of got off on a tangent there...anyway...
Well, thanks for that then. You forver changed the way CTS is played. At first I hated when people did it, but now I use it so...I guess I don't hate it anymore!
The players who have influenced me/helped me. In no particular order.
BrutalxBarbie and Schrodinger8Meow: For taking me to a private match and help me with headshots and tweaking my controller sensitivity. BxB still drags me into "for fun" matches.
R3drumonkey (think I got that right) Only played him a few time (1 public and I think 2-3 private) helped me work out kinks in my play style/loadout. Same with BxB and Kalim
PhlyPinoy:For just be an encouragement in my continue play of this game.
Ndolger: Oh, how your nailgun frustrates me. However I can't deny the raw adam harvesting power of your loadouts. Netted me between 800+ adam to 1425 adam in a single match. The 1425 was from completing two trials.
Most of the people here. Yes in some way or fashion you have helped me figure this game out. The video's that inspire some of my loadout to the friends that I haven't mentioned.
To AstroCreep and Venomdarkness for inviting me to several insanely fun matches. We should do that again.
phlypinoy for repeatedly reminding me no to get too close to opponents by killing me with slugger.
oldschooldevil for staying in a match with me when we were losing and outnumbered and still pulled off a win.
EB/CB/GL on the same loadout level 50s for making me hate the community so much that I want to teabag all of them, thus making me play better.
Seriously that is a cheap loadout, anyone could be good with it. That is the main reason I don't use the CB. It doesn't seem like it takes any skill. EB/CB oops missed, now I will shoot a grenade.
In terms of playstyle (MG+TK); none, honestly. I've found out later, though, that I pretty much have the same loadout as AK Downfall
But after about 350 hours, I decided to substitute the GL with the Crossbow, ROF style as my secondary. I'll credit mostly Fotaine, Gunner & dmac for that.
Yep you do run the same loadout as me haha.
As for who influenced me....hard to say. I started using Telekinesis when I reached level 12 and I didn't fight anyone who used it against me to make me want to use it.
Didn't fight anyone with Rof to make me use it since back then everyone used EB headshotting.
In simple terms. I don't think anyone influenced me, BUT I will say that everyone encouraged me to not stick to the norm of using the EB Headshotting. Also on the side note, Gunner persuaded me to use Deathtrap I have to give him thanks for that. I love getting double kills with it.
haha anytime xen, private or public your always welcome to play with us, and practice on me if you like just tell me the game plan. i'm glad i could help out. i wish more people showed me the ropes earlier in the game like the sensitivity thing i just learned about that last year
you need a mic so you can chit-chat with us hehe... and i have no control over rummy in matches lol sorry if he tends to "hunt" you.....he gets excited
Death trap is never not funny... unless it kills you. BTW, have you ever been in a match that was so laggy you respawn, manage to run near where you last died and you die from your own death trap? and BD takedowns with death trap are always good for laughs, as are the times when you can take out 2, 3, even 4 enemies with one blast. (RQ's usually follow that event).
As for me contributing to the topic at hand... It's hard for me to say who influenced me the most. When the game came out I was pretty much a blank slate as far as FPS MP games, so I had plenty to soak up. Also, most of the players I associated with in the old days are no longer playing, and the alcohol-soaked mind tends to over-write information.
But, out of the players that I still remember, Nike89 inspired me to work with the crossbow for headshots (I never could stack up to him) and I think it was Netorious (I could be wrong) who inspired me to work with the EG. and I blame Rybow's videos for giving me the idea of using the lawnchair as a secondary in my main headshot loadout, a bad habbit I'm not sure I'll ever break... just too lazy.
I know I'm overlooking somebody as an inspiration to work on no-stun headshots... but currently, Greyfox inspires me to try harder at no-stuns. Whenever we end up against eachother it's usually a pretty fun trade-off of jumpy no-stun EG headshots interspliced with me uttering my trademark phrase, "bull ☺☺☺☺!"
I know I'm forgetting a lot of names... but that's what I could think of at the moment...
Everyone influenced me in some aspects. Too many people to name........
My two biggest influences, were and still are (since i only have 150 hours) Gunner and Frank. Probably a little bit more Gunner but that is just because he was kind enough to destroy me in survival until I got it right. That helped with map awareness, control, and speed. While Frank was mostly tips and tricks on how to become a better headshotter with the cross bow.
Also, I can't forget Corp and Dmac, they were my two biggest rivals when I was just beginning to play.
Dmac & Corpulent drunk. Love you guys. They took me under their wing or I'd probably still be pretty clueless/bad if they haden't. After I met them I got good.

By Sammy Batten Staff writer
LUMBERTON - Mike Brill, who accumulated 132 victories in 16 seasons coaching prep football in Robeson County, is retiring from his current post at Lumberton High School.
Brill told The Fayetteville Observer he plans to turn in official retirement paperwork to the Public Schools of Robeson County office this morning.
"It's time for a change,'' Brill said. "You're kind of scared about what you're going to do next. But I'm sure this is the right thing.''
Brill was hired at Lumberton in 2007 after taking a four-year break from coaching. He stepped down as head coach at South Robeson High due to health reasons after the 2002 season. Brill departed South Robeson with a 10-year record of 89-35.
Over the next four years, Brill helped develop the Lumberton Football Association, which established a strong recreation football program in the area.
But Brill returned to the sidelines at Lumberton in 2007 and quickly established the struggling program as a winner. After a 5-7 start in '07, the Pirates ran off winning records of 9-4, 9-5, 8-3 and 7-4 in consecutive seasons.
"We proved we could win here,'' Brill said. "A lot of people said it couldn't be done. But we brought change to this place, and that's something I'm very proud of.''
Numerous players under Brill have gone on to play college football. Four of his ex-Lumberton players are members of the Winston-Salem State team that will play Elizabeth City State on Saturday for the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship in Durham: running back Maurice Lewis, fullback Robert Moore, cornerback Larry Hearne and defensive tackle Jermaine Kessler.
But Brill's most prominent former player is Vonta Leach. Leach starred at linebacker and running back at South Robeson, went on to play at East Carolina and is now an All-Pro fullback for the NFL's Baltimore Ravens.
"Mike is not only a coach, but he's a father figure to a lot of kids in Rowland and Lumberton,'' Leach said Thursday in a telephone interview. "He took two programs that were among the worst in the state of North Carolina and turned them around. He gave those kids hope and a sense of pride.
"Mike has had a great career. I'm kind of surprised he's retiring, but I understand he's doing what he needs to do.''
Brill ends his head coaching career with a 132-64 record. He coached his final game last Friday when Lumberton fell, 28-14, to Jack Britt in the first round of the state 4-AA playoffs.
Leaving the sidelines will give Brill more time to spend with his wife, Beth, and daughters Elizabeth and Logan, who are both students at Lumberton High.
But Brill isn't ruling out a potential return to coaching at some point in the future.
"I've got two kids to put through college, so I may try to go coach or teach in South Carolina,'' Brill said. "I've talked to some people down there and hopefully something will work out next year. But I'm going to take six months to kick back a little bit, then see what the next phase of my life is going to be.''

We recently bought a home and are in the process of decorating. Our great room has a LOT of wood as you can see by the attached picture and the bottom portion of the wall has a darker wood that goes around the whole room. My husband and I feel that if we lighten that wood color, it will make the room a lot brighter. Looking for professional opinions on what to do. I know once we paint it, if that's the road we go down, there's no turning back! Thoughts? The furniture in this room is also temporary until we find pieces to better fit the space. Thank you for your help and advice! | |||
Personally I think painting the lower wood/wall sections a lighter color/reflecting surface would be a good start. You have a LOT of wood in the room, and it really can absorb lots of light. It would help to show off the nice flooring. We considered a home with ceiling boards and paneling, and I would have whitewashed or pickle finished the paneling to lighten it. | ||||
The style of your home really does call for wood detail. Perhaps the issue is that it is all the same? Maybe the beams that go up the walls and over the ceiling could be a java finish along with the mantle. This way the floor and the planked ceiling are one tone and the "trim" is another. If it were me, I would stain all the wood different shades of gray,like driftwood, but that would include the floor which is a big job not everyone is up for. | ||||
I would pull a color out of the stone wall and use that to paint all of the lower portions of the wall, which looks like your darkest woodtone. It also looks as though the trim right around the door and windows is a stained wood. Might this be the case around any other doorways in the room? I would continue the same paint color that you choose for the lower wall onto these moldings. And leave everything else alone for now. If you still need a change, I like the idea of a very transparent whitewash on the fat post and beams only. Not sure if it truly so, but it looks like one of the stone colors has an olive undertone. This would look so nice as your lower wall color because it would break up all the brown and still maintain a natural feel. | ||||

We went with the "Chalk" color the texture of the fabric is casual and has grey and white threading (request the sample to make sure its suitable for you). These stools are very comfortable. The plastic floor protectors did scratch my oak flooring a little but we improvised by pulling them off and using felt that you can get a hardware store.

The Spires, operators of serviced suites accommodation in Aberdeen, Birmingham and Glasgow, is exhibiting at the Arabian Travel Market, the Middle East's leading travel and tourism event, which opens its doors on Tuesday, May 4.
This will be the fourth year that The Spires has exhibited at the show. Over the past three years, the company estimates it has generated £30,000 of business from its participation in the Arab Travel Market.
In the past the company has been part of the Visit Britain stand, but for 2010 The Spires is exhibiting independently.
Commenting on their reasons for targeting the Arab Travel Market, Craig Duguid, National Sales Manger of The Spires, said:
"Britain is one of the most popular destinations in the Arab world. Historically Middle East visitors have chosen to travel to London. We will be saying that there is more to Britain and promoting our suites in Aberdeen, Birmingham and Glasgow as the ideal base for a visit.
"Suites are particularly suited to the Arabian market as families tend to travel together. With a suite they can have accommodation that will easily sleep a family of up to six, with their own living room, bathrooms, kitchen and dining facilities.
"It is particularly important for us to actually be at the Arab Travel Market to meet with people, because relationships are so important. To do business you have to be known and trusted – you cannot do that without meeting face-to-face.
"Business in the Middle East is still very much conducted on a personal basis. Family travel and accommodation is usually booked through established relationships with travel agents."
The Arab Travel Market runs from Tuesday (May 4) to Friday (May 7) in the Dubai International Convention and exhibition Centre. There are more than 2,000 exhibitors taking part.

Library Overview
The Library's collections comprise some 30,000 items. These include printed materials, from rare imprints to recent monographs, as well as manuscripts. The Library's manuscript collections of both Ismaili and non-Ismaili literature, in such languages as Arabic, Persian and Gujarati, constitute a unique resource. Manuscripts are described in several published catalogues which are being combined to form a single on-line catalogue accessible through the Institute's website. Both to preserve these precious holdings for future generations and make them readily available to qualified scholars, the Library engages in ongoing microfilming of manuscripts, and plans for digitizing particularly significant texts are now underway.
The Library has grown over the years through a steady programme of new acquisitions, but donations by individuals have been crucial as well. Most recently, Professor Abbas Hamdani donated his valuable family collection of over 200 rare manuscripts to the Library. This follows upon the gift of Dr. Zahid Ali's collection of 220 Arabic manuscripts, and that of Mr Sherali Alidina's library with its wide range of both printed and manuscript materials. The gift of films, slides and photographs from Mr Amirali Mamdani enriches the Audio-Visuals collection greatly, while the gift of Professor Ali S. Asani from the library of Professor Schimmel of South Asian literature enhances the Reference collection. In addition, the Library seeks and acquires microfilms and photocopies of important texts from libraries and individuals around the world. In its relatively short history, the Library has thus grown into a leading centre and repository for rare and significant resources illustrative of all facets of Ismaili thought and tradition.
Selections of materials from the Library's collection are showcased in the Gallery.

Topic: Construct Classic is "officially" dead? Posted: 03 Feb 2012 at 10:40pm |
Hello guys.
Recently, I started to think that Scirra Construct (I still remember those good days when it was so named) as the Open Source ptoject does not interest anyone. So, I would like to ask a very important question "why is this happening?" Why is nobody interested in further development of Construct (Classic)? Why no one wants to work just for the great idea? I mean the idea of creating a High Quality Open Source Game Maker for everyone. This is just because some people are only interested in making a profit? Or maybe we just don't have people who can do this? Personally, I think that Scirra Construct needs to be "reborn" in new form. For example, it may even be a new game maker, new community, etc. What are your views and suggestions on this? Or maybe no one cares about this situation? Edited by Qwary - 03 Feb 2012 at 10:43pm |

It's far from dead, it's just that the people working on it are pretty busy. Still, I think an update will be coming in the next month or so (to r2 from current r1.2).
The main reason no updates are coming through as fast as they used to is because it's now in a condition where it can be used to make fully featured games. Sure there's some bugs and workarounds that are needed, but Construct Classic is ready for making almost any (2D) game you want with it. If you look at all the plugins and effects members have contributed on the forums you'd find that there really is a lot of content that's been made, and it might be that people are busy using Construct Classic instead of improving it so they can. Don't worry about Construct Classic, it will never die out because it's still the most powerful 2D game creation tool around, and it's still free and open source. |

this is like the 80th thread/post like this not your fault, I know. no, it's not dead. I and others have completed the next version. here's the changelog: Ashley is the only who can build CC, and he's very busy with C2, being the sole developer for that. there was a problem with the original attempt at building the next version, and after the rebuild, I requested a second rebuild when I found a problem with one of the new features. Ashley had just reformatted his machine, so this required him to setup all the CC building software/configurations. I suppose that Ashley has been busy since then. I would say to expect it any day now, but in previous threads, the word "soon" or the words "any day now" have received a less than favorable response, as they have been tossed around since late november. So in all honesty, I have no idea when it will be released. However, Ashley has repeatedly assured me that as soon as he has the time he will release it, most recently on January 23rd. Also, on the "not dead" front, I've already begun the changelog for R3(still very tiny). I don't require money to continue developing or wanting to develop construct classic, however there is a fundry account for construct classic to request new features/fixes, that would definitely be a good motivator to add or fix things. As I've recently switched over to full time development, so, like Ashley, I need to focus on work that has the potential for profit, though I still try to make time to do the CC thing regardless. If anyone decides to go the fundry route, I will say that while all of the(3 or so) people still developing CC, only one of us(rojohound) owns the Prof-UIS library required to make changes to the IDE(the editor) itself. The rest of us can make changes to the runtime, and to plugins. There's been one fundry request thus far, and a single contribution to an animator I was working on, but it's planned as a commercial project, so I can't use the fundry for it. so.. just wanted to reiterate - CC is NOT DEAD. the R2 changelog is comparable in size to the R1 changelog, and work has begun on the version after that. thanks for your interest!

Current functions is enough to create a simple games, but not enough to create a serious, complex in structure 2D games. lucid I understand what you mean. It's so obvious. But the project is being developed too slowly. And in any case this is not the best way of development. Therefore, it's could be described as a kind of "death". |
Post Options Quote Reply Posted: 04 Feb 2012 at 1:12am | ||||
It's still (technically) in development, people still care about its development, it's still capable of making "serious", complex 2D games, it's still the same old Construct. Yeesh.
What is it you want to see in CC anyway? Maybe instead of that ^ you could elaborate on features and/or changes you and your project may benefit from? There's probably a chance some of your suggestions may make it into the next build. "Personally, I think that Scirra Construct needs to be "reborn" in new form. For example, it may even be a new game maker, new community, etc." It was. |

while some of the most exciting projects are still in development, I'd say you're completely wrong on this point. Cc is more than functional and powerful enough to make any 2d game. loot pursuit, yokai, my mantis demo, zotged/daiz's unnamed(?) title, minitroid, towerclimb, and many others look as good as if not better than alot of(most) toptier 2d games, definitely good enough to compete with steam's indie 2d offerings. It does all the dx boiler plate code for you, as fast as can be expected. Over 1000 sprites on screen each moving and detecting collisions without slowdown, pixel shaders, distort maps....I completely disagree with you on this point. I can't think of a single 2d title that couldn't be done in cc, aside from multisprites as seen in Shank and CastleCrashers and skinned bone multisprites as seen only in Rayman Origins, though both of these features will be available soon(the former sooner than the latter) upon release of/eventual update to (shameless plug) Spriter.
I think as Ashley gets further into c2, and more used to CC releases, it would only speed the process. In any case, anyone who wants to join up and help is free to. If you know c++, its very easy to work with the sdk, and make changes. I disagree with you on this deadness as well. A completed release awaiting building, and another begun before it's even released is far from death. Also, shameless plug here, but when spriter 1.0 releases, it'll be coming to CC first, and I think that will breathe new life into it, let alone when the c2 plugin comes out, and people can create assets that load in html5 and cc exe's, opening the possibility to have an experience shared between the web and desktop. Not to beat a dead pony, but I just want to reiterate the first point again. Cc is THE most powerful 2d game creator, and the easiest to use, a too-good-to-be-true combination. Mess around with it, ask around in the forums, and save frequently, then see if you can find a single limitation keeping you from making the game you want. Edited by lucid - 04 Feb 2012 at 1:40am |

I disagree with that. All the features you get with CC are particularly suited for serious, complex structured games. The powerful and fast ACE, the groups, the includable event sheets, the function object, arrays, hash tables, pixel shaders, the fabulous workhorse 's', and hardware accelerated DirectX 9 graphics, that beat any flash game in terms of speed. I will soon post an example cap that features a music sequencer (well, the code for it and the functionality, no fancy graphics) - completely driven by 's' and the function object and even running autonomous. Yes, it is not a game. But it is highly complex. Also, I'd call something like thumbwars (was it the correct title?) a complex structured game, as well as some of the games already posted on these forums. Just open your eyes, you'll find enough evidences to proof CC's capability to do complex structured games. Maybe you mean you can't do complex games right out of the box? Then you're right. But there's no tool in this world, that can do this for you. You need time, you need to manage everything smart, you need to fight against your weaker self from time to time - but CC is always with you. |

What do you mean? HTML 5 games, new design of forum with achievements, etc. That's not what I expected.
Everything is relative. Over 1000 sprites (512x512) on layer with 5 shader effects, and you'll see a drop in performance. About the numerous bugs of physics behavior, I generally keep quiet. When I see 60 fps in big 3D games with large (high resolution) textures, DX11 and 10-15 fps with DX9 and 5-6 shader effects in 2D Construct applications, it makes me laugh.
I've seen it all. It did not impress me. Too corny.
I'm talking about simplifying creation of more complex processes. Construct has already taken the first steps in this direction. I mean the idea of visual programming. There's so much that can still be done. |

What makes me laugh is how comparing two technologies of 10 years of age difference is relevant ? How come you can't do everything in windows XP like you can in win7 ? That's the same kind of question/remark/comparison and heresy. => 10 years of development, 10 years of technology, 10 years of improvement of the computer gear and the worldwide spread of those.
That's true. As Lucid said feel free to pick up your C++ compiler and help the CC community out. Edited by Kyatric - 04 Feb 2012 at 7:43am |

Harsh Qwary, some of those games are absolutely impressive! I havent seen them all but look at the yokai vids on you tube of the movement - or loot persuits take on the turn based combat. Im not sure who made this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNmBGXaURx4&feature=related Lol, take back that comment sir! :) Edited by GenkiGenga - 04 Feb 2012 at 7:53am |

This has to be one of my favorite Seventh Generation products. And by a fortunate happenstance while trying to clean up an indoor ant trail, I found out that this product kills ants on contact - it's the best I've ever used. I'm not worried about using this around my family or pets either which was the main reason I tried this product.
Amazing! I have a 2 year old and switched to this all purpose cleaner when I was pregnant since I didn't want the heavy fumes. It cleans so well and I love that it is safe to use on my little one's toys. We love every product we have tried!
I love this product and I use it all over my house. I'm very sensitive to odors in household cleaners so I love that your company makes a Free & Clear line with doesn't have any smells.
This is a great product that cleans well without nasty funes and odors.
All I can say this an amazing product. It works as good as any other product. As well I m not afraid to use this around my daughter. Thank you for making a great product.

Nice chalets and rooms in Itaipava. Very nice place, pleasant green areas, with football, tennis and mingolf courts. Quite central, a good point to visit the commerce of the district (I'd suggest the china/earthenware Salvador), yet very calm, peaceful place. Nice staff. Breakfast is good, considering continental taste, but could improve. I didn't like the pillow.
