Paul Page's highest three calendar years of pay
• 2008: $97,288.76*
• 2009: $95,594.46
• 2010: $95,844.46
• The city operates on a two-week pay cycle. In 2008, there were 27 pay periods rather than the usual 26.

The city will pay former General Services Director Paul Page nearly $12,000 a year for the rest of his life even though he retired after a federal finding that he sexually harassed one employee and was disciplined for harassing another.
Page worked for the city for six years and was vested in its General Pension Fund automatically after five years. He's eligible for $11,549 annually, or $962 a month, based on his highest three earnings years. Those were 2008-10.
Even if Page had been fired, his benefits would not have been affected, said Doug Kelley, the city's personnel records specialist.
"That has no effect on your general pension or your eligibility for benefits," Kelley said.
Employees 62 and older can retire at any point.
"Mr. Page was in that group," said Kelley.
Page came under fire in recent weeks after the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that he harassed an employee in October 2008 and the city subsequently retaliated against her.
A second woman filed a sexual harassment complaint against Page in November 2008. In that incident, Page was disciplined with five unpaid days off.
Page has denied any wrongdoing.
The city requests that employees give a two-week notice before retiring. Page hand-delivered his retirement notice, effective immediately, on Oct. 4.
Page's failure to give notice also doesn't affect his pension or benefits, Kelley said.
For each year of service, Page will receive 2 percent of the average of his highest three years' salary for each month of service. Because Page accrued six years of service, his rate will be 12 percent.
Page was hired in July 2005 as the city's director of asset management at a salary of $80,159, said Richard Beeland, city spokesman. Mayor Ron Littlefield served as a reference when Page applied for the job.
Later, Littlefield created the position of director of general services and the mayor appointed Page to the post on July 1, 2006, at a salary of $90,990.
Page received a raise in January to an annual rate of $98,462.25, Beeland said.
This year's increase does not affect his pension, Kelley said.

What does a Director of General Services actually do? How does the mayor create a 100k position for a friend? Did the city council review and approve this new taxpayer funded position? With the position being vacated by Page's departure, why is the position being eliminated? Again what is the purpose/need/value of this position that justifies paying Page 12k/year for life?
Is this the stapler guy from Office Space? He'll burn the building down.
just another waste of tax money by mayor littlefield
But, but he had a contract, which is sacred here in America. We must honor our contracts. Unless of course it is contracts with our teachers, policemen, firemen, etc. These are open to negotiation or revocation even if they have given their best, performed a vital social service, and not been accused of breaking the law.
Does the pension formula after a typical 40 year career result in receiving 80% of the average 3 best years plus health care for the rest of your life? No wonder people seek and cling to elected positions. Most voters thought they were seeking office to "give something back" we dumb arses thought they were serving "for the greater good" but failed to detect it was for their own greater good. Is it time for tax payers to know what the unfunded future ,therefore tax payer, liability is?
@payingattention, thanks for the followup. I was not lumping police or emergency services in with my characterization of most public deskjockeys. However, please explain your comment that emergency services work a ton of overtime and don't get paid for it. If anything, I have read many, many, many, many stories of police and emergency services personnel receiving overtime for work not performed. In many cities, emergency services personnel double or triple their base salary by receiving generous overtime.
It cries out for pension reform that Page only worked for the city 6 years, yet will be getting $12,000 a year for the rest of his life. The mayor's cabinet should be considered temporary employees in many cases, since the next mayor is going to bring in his or her own crew. Also, quite a few of the members of the city's top brass make much more than Page's $98k salary. Many of whom have been getting periodic raises of 20-70% in one year. They'll be able to thank us taxpayers for $12k a year or more, even if they're not kept on by the next administration. Do you feel a tax increase coming on? Meanwhile, the rest of the city's employees, firemen, policemen, office workers, etc., get only cost-of-living increases or nothing. About 500 of the city's rank and file workers are part timers and temps who aren't eligible for pensions at all.

hotdiggity said... But, but he had a contract, which is sacred here in America. We must honor our contracts. Unless of course it is contracts with our teachers, policemen, firemen, etc.
Not so, hotdiggity. If Page was a cop or fireman he'd still be on the job. They'd be defending him, and working overtime to hide that other personnel file. You know, the bad one. Especially if he was well liked and considered a team player. dontcha know how it works by now?
I think it is time for the TBI or the FBI to start looking into whats going on in city hall. I think that if they would take a serious look, some of the ones in city goverment would not retire on the backs of the city tax payers. There would be some that we would have to help support while they were inmates at one of our state prisons but look at it this way, at least they would get retirement benifits for the rest of their lives. But we all know that that's no going to happen. To many good old crooked boy's in city hall.
What is the purpose or providing a pension? To attract and retain people for an entire career. This position, the mayor, AEC, council members and other elected positions and their staff that serve at the pleasure of the elected official should not be pension eligible. These are not career jobs. However, since the approvers are also the beneficiaries of the liberal policy the tax payer is not well represented in this matter.
Does anyone have any idea or how to find out what the future employees benefits liability is and how much of it is currently unfunded? Anyone know what the total bonds obligation is and when they become due? I suspect we can expect a mind numbing tax increase in the not too distant future.
You people do know that it was his money in the pension program.. right? HE PAYED IT. It came out of his check ... but now YOU have a right to say how it is returned? .. and somehow it is the police and fire's fault?.. You people are soo stupid.
fedup350 said... I can just see amnestiUSAF84 sitting there at his keyboard racking his little pea brain trying to figure out a way to make this a racial issue......
LOL!! Wep!! You did it for the rest of us, you *pea brain& you!! Ha! ha!! U_be_so_funny!
fedup350 said... amnestiUSAF84 you are really a first class bona fide idiot. Only a moron like you could turn this into a hate filled tirade against the fire and police.
Now! Now, fedup350. I must have hit a serious nerve. Then you want to stoop to name calling. The stuff of small minded people who have nothing to contribute. Tsk! Tsk!
payingattention said... Biofish. The City matches retirement contributions
That happens in the private employment sector too. In fact, every job I've every had where there's a retirement plan, be it private employer or government employer, employee retirement contribution was matached by the employer and government.
Yes, I can call people stupid because i work for the city and know how it works. Is it unfair?.. yes. I think he should not be vested in that short amount of time. However, it was a contract BEFORE he even took the position. However much i hate the guy and his perverted self, you don't take something away from someone when it was promised just because you don't want to do it anymore. If you don't like the pension program, work on changing it, don't attack those who paid into it. I am not standing up for him, but the 1000's of others who have absolutely nothing to survive on but that pension. They don't make 93,000 a year, but the % of contribution is the same. If he contributed 9% for 6 years, it could EASILY be invested and return $12000/year. It isn't costing you any more than another city worker.
The City Council will ultimately determine how to respond to the federal retaliation charges. They may serve one term or more, thus are in many cases are temps. They are only part time employees, making about $24k a year, not including the cost of their meals, travel, rentals, expenses, etc. Do they get a pension after 5 years too, which is something most of the city's approximately 500 temps and part timers don't?

Quinisha Brabson, 23, has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the 2010 shooting death of Timothy Nichols. She said she felt threatened and feared Nichols would attack her or her female friend.
Nichols had driven to East Chattanooga with his fiancée and another friend to try and trade anti-anxiety pills for crack cocaine.
He spotted Brabson with a group of other women near the corner of Main and Willow streets near midnight.
But on Tuesday Lisa Greenlief, Nichols' fiancée, said that Brabson approached the car and shot Nichols while the man tried to trade the pills for drugs.

Complete with at least one high quality screen grab from every shot, let's take a good look at the new Avengers trailer and see if we can't work out what's going on, and what it has to do with we've heard about the film so far.
Because the story features a large number of high quality images it has been spread across several pages to help users on mobile devices and networks access the story easily. You'll find the page controls at the bottom of each section.
You may have to click through to make the picture bigger to see it, but there's a downed Quinjet here. It's to the right of frame, where the sun comes through the buildings, apparently crashed at the foot of the tall block.
Also, count how many of the cars are taxis, how many are police cars and how many appear to be privately owned. Is New York really this full of cabs?
If you look half way across frame, right at the bottom, you'll see one guy has his camera out and is facing whatever it is everybody else is running from, presumably taking pictures or recording. He just turns to run away as the shot is fading to black.
And here he is again, two thirds of the way to right of frame. No idea what he thinks he's getting on camera, though. There's nothing there.
Bits of burning building, raining down from above.
You know, it's probably worth mentioning, at least in passing, that this is yet another film to feature aerial assaults on New York skyscrapers, scenes of mass panic, huge structural damage, and buildings falling. We all know what is in the zeitgeist, and it doesn't need spelling out, but this will be the first time we see Captain America sent up against this situation.
Also note what Nick Fury starts saying at this moment:War has started. And we are hopelessly outgunned.
This building appears to be exploding from the inside, which is not something we see in the other shots.
Our first image of Nick Fury, and we're looking up to him as he commands the frame. Note Steve Rogers focusing on Fury too.
You can see "energy beam" weapons being fired here, in the reflection. And they don't seem to be aimed particularly tactically, as though the intent might simply be to destroy. Naughty... mystery aliens.
So, the cops and military are on the scene. Not up to this particular task perhaps, but at least able to show, and serve as energy-beam fodder.
The signs for Madison and SUNY State College of Optometry are a good bit of verisimilitude for a sequence that was, apparently, shot in Cleveland.
Now, look at the chap on the left of frame. His name is Morbitzer. The poet BJ Morbitzer wrote the following lines:I will not give up.I will not turn around.I am a soldier,Marching Heaven bound.Probably just a coincidence, but still.
No, not a shot from a remake of Inception.
From the Mac logo and distinctive big lump of masonry in the background it would appear that this is happening in the same bit of street as the second shot of the trailer, and presumably earlier in time because I certainly don't remember all of this orange patio furniture.
Of course, trying to assemble chronology from fragments like this is a fool's game. There's every chance the film won't play exactly by the rules, looking for a better sequence at the expense of strict continuity.
And I support that 100%.
Putting us side-by-side with the gunner. I'm sure we'll have a very good idea what he's shooting at right now when this shot plays out in context.
If the last shot tilted up to Fury wasn't extreme enough for you, here he absolutely towers over us.
Well, Samuel L. Jackson is a regular collaborator of Quentin Tarantino's, after all.
"Director Fury, I think it's time."
After all of this set-up, over five different movies? I should hope so too. Coulson gets to deliver what might be the "Let's go to work" of The Avengers.
Note Steve Rogers in his civvies, trying to take it all in.
SHIELD have plenty of cutting edge tech, but what's so attractive about a see-through screen, anyway? Surely it'd be more practical to have something opaque?
Just take a quick look at this location, because we'll be seeing it again later.
How ironic that he absolutely slaughters this Everlast punching bag.
This scene was the first footage from the film ever played in public, hidden at the end of Captain America: The First Avenger.
He won't make eye contact...
...okay, now he will.
Several more punching bags on the floor here, waiting to be hung up and get their stuffing punched out.
And so begins the footage from a scene previewed at last year's NYCC. Looks like the guys on the left of frame are watching a weather report. I certainly would be if my TV was outside.
What happened to her Russian accent?
See Doctor Banner on the right, and on the left... you'll have to tell me who that illustrated figure is. Nice balance in their poses, though.
These purple shirt shots have been cut in to the India-based, orange shirt scene, but it's clearly a different time and place. Looks like a quiet corner inside the Helicarrier to me.
Perhaps these shots come shortly after the events on the leaked page from the stolen script...
...that's if it's even real.
This is what we want from The Hulk, isn't it? A bit of shirt tearing?
Amazingly Ruffalo-like hair.
Cheeky smile while essentially playing a power game. Sets an interesting, almost screwbally tone. Looks like this film is going to be full of fun, with zingy repartee and audience pleasing banter.
Here's the description of the Natasha-Bruce scene that we ran at the time of its first preview screening:The footage starts in? India. Surprising. This is where Doctor Banner has been, helping the sick. He?s gone two years without Hulking out.
A little girl comes running to him to get help. Somebody is sick. He follows her?
But it?s a trick. Black Widow is waiting. Bruce asks ?How did you find me?? She says ?We never lost you? and explains that Nick Fury has known exactly where he is, all along, but that they haven?t needed him until now.
But now they really need him. They?re trying to trace the gamma signature of the Tesseract, and he can help with this.
Will Bruce come quietly? Or is everything about to get smashed up? Well? it looks close, for a moment, but Banner chills and cedes to Ms. Romanoff?s request.
She gives the order to stand down? to a whole flock of SHIELD agents who were, until now, unseen. The heavily-armed Hulk contingency plan.
Any Tolkien scholars out there who can help make sense of the symbols on Mjolnir?
Is he not sure about picking it up? Is he worried what he might do with it? Look at the destroyed tree trunk in the background there... I think we'll be able to place this moment in better context later in the trailer.
What is Fury asking him to do?
Use the force, Thor.
Is this part of Thor's particular special mission? Is he commanding lightning to strike the Chrysler Building at the request of Nick Fury, as part of some kind of plan?
The trailer is certainly edited in a way that might suggest this.
Landing on top of the Helicarrier, I assume.
He's in purple shirt mode now. Can't be too long after this he has the Hulk fit seen above, can it?
I expect we'll see everybody meet Steve Rogers one by one, seeing as he's the "main character" and all.
"It's called the Avengers Initiative."
I guess everybody Nick Fury is speaking to would be sitting at the table we saw way early in the trailer, in the shot with Fury and the transparent computer screens.
Looks like Tony Stark can turn on his big "name in lights" as he's getting home, perhaps to use for help with landing, perhaps because Jarvis is getting everything ready for his return.
And Stark's penthouse looks out at the Chrysler building. Is this important in understanding the lightning strike seen earlier?
Looks convincingly mechanical in a way that suggests actual moving parts. Quite an impressive design, really.
And yet another way Stark has of getting out of his costume, and the most convenient one yet - he doesn't even have to stop walking.
We don't know who he is talking to here, but it's likely to be Nick Fury as Stark is clearly referring to his rejection from The Avengers in Iron Man 2.
It seems like a reverse angle at first glance, maybe, but this shot of Thor is somewhere else entirely. Somewhere mountainous. Perhaps somewhere not of this Earth...?
Iron Man and Thor going heck-for-lecker. They're in some kind of unidentified wooded area. Think back to the previous shots of Thor thinking carefully about his hammer while it lies on the ground.
At last: Maria Hill. And is she getting told that she needs a time out? What could she have done?
Crikey - Captain America is in this fight too.
And look at the floor. Is that all mess made just by these guys, smashing the trees into chip pings?
Thor's POV as he flies in towards the Quinjet...
..lands on it.
He's got the hair for it.
Um... not sure I like this shot, with the defocused look. The wipe that happens as a figure comes in from the right then leaves to the left in the next shot looks like an edit that may exist in the actual film. We'll see.
And we finally get a look at Hawkeye. He's not in the trailer much, and doesn't get a thing to say. I wouldn't hold my breath for a standalone Hawkeye movie if I were you.
She's in a dress. The camera is extremely canted. I've got no idea what is actually going on here, but there was a rumour that this was part of a fight scene with Black Widow starting out tied to a chair. Is this her grand entry scene that is apparently the best introduction for any of the characters? I'm betting Yes.
The first of three shots that create an interesting "false continuity." It starts with her swinging around...
...then making impact...
(With Hawkeye. You can identify him by his wrist brace. So we have a three way brawl between Stark, Thor and Cap, and a two way scrap with Romanoff and Hawkeye - the Avengers have got some way to go before they can gel into a solid group, it seems)
...then it's as though she'd kicked these guys and they take a spill through a window.
It's not supposed to be a literal flow of action, but a sense of continuous kinetics, building up inertia. This technique can be very effective in a trailer.
Captain America, comin' atcha. The film is, incidentally, being released in 3D as well as 2D.
Oh, and don't worry. He's wearing a parachute.
See Cap stumbling out of frame to the left.
The current issue of Empire magazine has a feature that gives some background on this scene: Apparently we're in Stuttgart, and Loki causes a bit of a fracas. Captain America and Iron Man capture him and take him into captivity, leading to the scenes of Loki imprisoned on the Helicarrier that we've seen before.
And here is our first look at Mr. Hiddleston in this trailer, apparently taunting Stark.
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?
Well, this isn't a continuity cut, but they're clearly trying to imply that the immovable object will win, just about.
Fury gets to argue with Loki too.
Even in modern day clothes Loki favours the green and gold.
What's this staff that he's holding? An important Maguffin, no doubt.
According to the same issue of Empire I was citing above, we're still in Stuttgart here. Loki gives a speech about how mankind was made to be ruled and commands the whole crowd of Opera house patrons to kneel. One man says that he will never kneel again - once more, no need to spell it out, I'm sure . Faced with this defiance, Loki makes to vaporise the man.
(If I had to guess, I'd go for the guy on the far left very near the front and looking particularly emotional, definitely not the guy in glasses doing the cartoon rat face quite near the front, about a third of the way from the left)
The defiant man is then saved by Captain America throwing in his shield and deflecting the beam. Apparently, Cap then comes back to Loki with:Men who want to rule the world end up getting just 6 feet of it.It's after this that Iron Man turns up, as in the shots detailed above.
I think she's watching Banner as he starts to Hulk out. See above, including the script page.
He's actually firing that thing on set, I think.
Is The Hulk chasing Black Widow here? I don't think so. Though I don't know why he doesn't pick her up and really get moving - she's pretty slow by Hulk standards, not to mention fragile.
Interesting costumes. Cap's cowl flipped back like a hood, and Stark in a Black Sabbath T-shirt. The Sabbath had a hit with Iron Man, if you don't know.
I'll settle for the shirt but maybe an Ozzy Osbourne cameo would have been better.
"We're not a team, we're a time bomb."
I bet this is the catalyst for the Hulking out scene.
His chinos are getting off lightly. in all of this alien-smashing. And, boy, are they stretchy.
We'll get a better look at this... thing later on. But - spoiler shot? Are we being shown a really crucial, climactic victory explosion here?
Is this Thor inside the container that was built for Loki, perhaps watching Loki escape? Or is he outside, looking in, again as Loki escapes?
This is the location where we saw the helicopter landing earlier. Seems like this is when it takes off again, just as some kind of explosion happens. I smell Loki.
Who are these fellas? I'm sticking with the Sons of Muspell theory, but I'm really not sure anymore. I think they're just nondescript alien hordesters, really.
He's looking right into the lens. That's two shots in this trailer where the characters look right into the lens - this and the kneeling crowd scene - with a third one to come. It's not normally anything like this common.
Looks like they're bonding somewhat now. I guess they have no choice.
Can anybody tell me what that flag fluttering in the background is?
Looks like a portal absolutely overflowing with that blue energy. Likely the unrefined version of what the ray gun weapons use, and very similar looking to what the Cosmic Cube projected in the earlier films.
Iron Man is in trouble. He's amazingly limp here, like a rag doll... made of iron. Seems like the suit shorted out in the impact at the very end of the previous shot.
See how The Hulk uses his feet to break first, and then plunges his arm in when he gets the chance.
Is Stark even conscious in that thing?
They were having a fight earlier in the trailer, now they're having "a moment."
When we last saw this shot, in the Superbowl TV spot, it started later, but Hulk is out of the bag now so we can start with a nice, big close-up of him roaring away.
This seems group shot seems like a great visual for the moment when the Avengers are all united, ideologically and emotionally, as well as physically. I wouldn't be surprised if that's how Whedon has built the film - that they just click together at the beginning of the end battle.
Even the logotype is battered and smashed. Great extension of the "ruins" images, and it really sells the upped stakes, I think.
"Guys" he says. They've bonded. Aaawww.
Acting in action.
What is this thing?
Well, we think it might be a more mechanical version of the Midgard Serpent. Here's its less robotic-looking incarnation from the comics.
A cairn comprised of shattered buildings you say? Wow. That's bang on. And it seems quite obvious that this comic was published before September 2001 from the Serpent's final comment.
Avengers Assemble will be released in the UK on April 26th. The Avengers will be released in the US on May 4th.

If Nagato had no knowledge at all on Itachi, then Itachi might be able to defeat the six paths of Pain, but the fact is that you still haven't come up with a way for Itachi countering Chibaku. I repeat, stating that "a character>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>someone easily" and explaining it by saying "he could just grab him and put him in a Genjutsu" is not the way to do things.

1 tbb is not enough to even scratch ct. yasaka magatama is much weaker than tbb, do the math.
foolish fanboy thinks genjutsu can affect multiple targets at the same time. well no. it was never meant that way.
itachi cant put every path under genjutsu at the same time. only sound genjutsu can do that because the sound genjutsu travels by air through sound waive.
itachi fanboy needs to stop thinking he would have a match against all 6 paths at the same time. itachi doesnt have the right arsenal and CHAKRA to fight against 6.

The Computational Tools Program supports the Open Bank, Open Data, Open Knowledge initiative by developing analytical tools for applied economic research. The team brings together specialists in high-level programming, advanced econometrics, and geographic information systems to create data analysis products, then share them with the world, and then train others on how to use them.The program covers five broad areas:
SOFTWARE FOR DATA COLLECTIONComputer Assisted Personal Interview systems (CAPI) are a new way of collecting survey data. They can revolutionize data collection by improving the quality of data, reducing time for releasing data to researchers, and collecting of new types of data (GPS coordinates, time stamps, audio-video recording, maps, etc.).
The CAPI project will develop and test the software components; pilot the system in different countries and for different surveys; support the research program on comparing the performance of CAPI and paper-based systems; design the tools for randomized experiments during the interviews and collecting new types of data.
The project is financed by the Gates Foundation, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), cross-support with other units in the Bank, and the research budget.More >>
The ADePT software platform for automated economic analysis is the flagship product of the Computational Tools Team that is free for users. It is designed to facilitate the production of standardized analytical results. The goal is to develop user-friendly tools to bridge the gap between policy makers and cutting-edge economic research. ADePT version 5.0 consists of 12 modules on poverty, inequality, social protection, Health, Education, Labor market, Gender, and others.More >>
New modules to be developed include economic analysis of energy, water and food subsidies; collaborate with UN FAO on a Food Security Module; and work with ILO on Labor Market Indicators module. This work will result in 4 books on Streamlined Analysis with ADePT Software series.
Online Data Analysis Tool (ODAT) allowd users to conduct micro-level data analysis on unit-record data stored on the Bank server. The tool is in demand from the research community where access to micro-data is restricted. The roll-out of this tool will increase the number of researches working with the same micro-level data and generate new knowledge for the countries where little analysis was done due to restricted access. To see how this works please visit the Comparative Livings Standards Project. More >>
SOFTWARE FOR DATA DISSEMINATIONPovCalNet is an online poverty analysis tool designed for users to calculate the poverty measures under different assumptions and assemble the estimates using alternative country groupings.More >>
Comparative Living Standards Project (CLSP) allows users to access and analyze standardized micro-data from dozens of countries.More >>
Poverty Maps: The project develops the methodology and instruments for small area estimation procedures. In response to the high demand from client countries, and the European Commission, a several major improvements are planned: the new simulation module will speed up the convergence of the algorithm by relying on parallel computing procedures. The new Monte-Carlo module will introduce the possibility of census-bases validation.More >>
Stata routines: DECCT researchers will continue developing the Stata routines for poverty dynamic analysis, and the complex parametric and non-parametric estimation algorithms of interest to economists.More >>
Spatial Econometrics and GIS data: The Spatial Analysis Team carries out analytical work and advisory services using geographic information systems (GIS) and related technologies for development research and policy analysis of climate change, environmental issues, water and sanitation, deforestation and others. Spatial technologies involve applications that can be used to visualize and integrate data, and conduct spatial analysis.More >>
The Economic Research Computer Center (ERCC) will provide computational capacity for researchers and practitioners at the Bank and, later, for the larger development community. This will ensure rigorous economic research and analysis at the desktop level, as well as platforms for expanding collaboration and sharing with the broader development community.

"deIz" :Visual Novel:
Early Project Name: "Left Alone"
It's about a guy who admires a girl and is too wussy to confess his feelings. Yup, your everyday typical high-school love story drama. (Or is it? Well, maybe it is. Who knows?)
-English Language
-Really short storyline
-More than 10 endings
-No Audio
-Free to download
-Contains echhi scenes, but no hentai
-Done using Ren'Py, so it's available for Windows, Linux, and OSX
Download: gamejolt.com/freeware/games/ot…
Walkthrough: fav.me/d48ec46
-Enhanced script by SilentCook from Four Leaf Studio
-2 additional characters
-4 more endings
Version 1.5 has been cancelled.
Nice game! I really enjoyed it!
Most of the endings are really unexpected and might even be disturbing . . . but that only makes the experience more enjoyable.
It was short . . . but it was one of the most interesting things I've played
Man this game is freakin' FUN!!
So uumm... I kinda just made concept songs for it... well a few. xD It's like fan art... but with audio.
Didn't get all the endings yet though. I know it's old but really good game.
When you get a chance you should add the android platform as well! You can do this with the more recent versions of ren'py.
funny is I ended up downloading this not even aware yo had made it and recognized you're style immediately. had a lot of fun playing it.
I really want to play this, but it's stuck on the credits and has been that way for a few hours...
I'm sure you have better things to do than answer a silly troubleshooting question, but is it supposed to take this long loading?
Click the credits, I thought the same thing when I was playing it. It's not loading, it's the games way of telling you to click for the next slide.
I'm sorry to hear you canceled 1.5, but I enjoyed deIz quite a bit.
this is such a great game! well done. but why did you cancel 1.5?
How did you add sound to this visual novel? I'm working on making a visual novel with Ren'Py, and I really want to have a loop of music playing in-game. However, I can't get the mp3 to work. I've looked at tutorials on how to do this already, but they didn't help.
Wait, there's no sound in the VN... at least not in the one I played.
You add sound by I think using... sound.play "song.ogg"
It's best to use a .ogg file. Get something like Audacity. take the song you wanna use, put it in there, cut out the fade out. Select the whole song and play from near the end and make sure it soundsalmost seemless when it loops back to the beginning again. . I think you can do loop play in Audacity by holding Control+Space or Shift+Space.
awzum! I luv the artwork! so beautiful!
btw I cant wait to try the visual novel
Good work ! I love to play this game Now i want to make fanart ! xD
Are there wallpaper versions of the endings? That would be great!
loved the game, especially the black-haired girl ending- that was a stroke of brilliance!
Man I tried so hard to get that ending. I had multiple save files just to hunt for it.
I got the Mikado ending. Now I'm playing it again. I noticed the references to Jollybee and Red Ribbon lol
If you have the picture of his face when they say "Go play your rpg game" and it gets all funny looking please send it to me!
I just relied that the uniforms I was gonna make, was the ones from this game >.> (I started playing it and had a blond moment near the end of one of the stories)
So should I link this gallery when I'm done with the outfit, or do you wish for me to credit you? ^^
I've been thinking up till now, why "delz"?
i mean the title of the game, cos I have a friend whose nickname is "deiz" ^_^
just curious, im dl-ing the game right now

An update
from John Black:
Economist Dr. Christopher Thornberg with
1st Enterprise CEO John Black
Economic Forecaster Chris Thornberg Speaks on 1st Enterprise Thought Leadership Series
Christopher Thornberg, widely considered to be one of California's leading economic forecasters, spoke at 1st Enterprise Bank's Thought Leadership series in January. The evening at the Petersen Automotive Museum was attended by more than 400 of the Bank's customers and colleagues. Thornberg sees mostly positive events unfolding for California business in 2012-2013 based on key indicators. He said, "Despite the negative hype, U.S. and California economies are picking up steam; much of the momentum behind California's economic recovery can be traced to its booming export trade; and the economies of Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, and the Inland Empire are slowly recovering."
Thornberg has appeared on major TV and radio news shows and is regularly quoted in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Tribune.
Review the January presentation here:
1st Enterprise's CEO Featured in
Los Angeles Business Journal
In their November 2011 annual ranking of banks by size, the Los Angeles Business Journal turned to 1st Enterprise Bank's CEO to comment on the banking climate in California, "We will continue to see consolidation, and I think that the pace of that may increase," said John Black, chief executive of 1st Enterprise Bank based in downtown Los Angeles. "A lot of banks have reached a plateau stage in their ability to grow organically."
Black said he wants 1st Enterprise, which was started over five years ago, to continue to grow organically at a sustainable rate well above its peers. As of 6/30/11 the bank had increased its total assets to $526 million, up 13% over the preceding 12 months, and bumping it up two spots in the rankings to No. 22 in Los Angeles County – a point of pride for Black. "Our goal is definitely to continue to move up that list," he said, "It says something to the banking community and our customers, it says something to the people we would like to recruit. In banking, size and profitability matter."

text: A damn great little record from Clifford Coulter – a set that's much tighter and more soul-based than his earlier funk albums for Impulse Records – but which comes together beautifully, too – thanks to help from Bill Withers in the studio! Bill produced, and the record has this perfect sort of balance – never too slick or uptight, but really focused too – that great warm groove that Withers found with his own music at Columbia – but set up here as a perfect foil for Coulter's truly amazing voice! The singer's got a depth that comes through right away – on both the ballads and the groovers – and the record's one of those under-discovered gems that we've dug for years – proof that some really amazing soul music was coming out on major labels, between the hits. Withers plays lots of keyboards on the record – and titles "Another Day", "You And I Together", "Nothing In The World Is Free", "Don't Wanna See You Cry", "Magic Carpet Ride", "Maybe It's Better To Go", and "The Better Part Of Me". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I'm 5'0 tall and usually a size small (32C-27-38) and this jacket is a little short on the arms, but nothing too serious. The chest gets a little tight when it's zipped up, but it looks better partially or completely unzipped anyway. The biggest issue I had with this item is that it smelled like dead fish. It was so foul. But I hung it up in the coat closet and the smell faded completely within three days. It is a little cropped, which I wasn't aware of. The jacket ends at about an inch below my belly button, and I have a pretty short torso. Still cute, though!
This was purchased for a 12-year old granddaughter, who didn't take it off the entire time we were at their house. Her younger sister, who also got a cropped jacket but in denim, was insanely jealous. Don't ask me if every 12-year-old would be this happy, but ours sure was.

2007 wasn't the only thing ticking away as midnight approached on New Year's Eve. So was the open enrollment period for the 2008 Medicare Part D drug benefit.
If you haven't heard about this program, you're not alone.
As a recently published Kaiser Family Foundation report noted, knowledge about the Part D benefit "has not increased appreciably among most participants," and many Americans still lack a clear understanding of how the Part D program works.
What it isMedicare Part D offers no one-size-fits-all prescription drug plan of its own. Instead, the federal government has opted to subsidize private insurers so that they, in turn, could offer this optional drug coverage to Medicare beneficiaries. These private insurance plans must meet or exceed the drug benefit standard established by the federal government in 2003, and they potentially lower drug costs for most Medicare beneficiaries.
The good news is that everyone on Medicare is eligible to receive Part D prescription drug coverage. The bad news is that in order to obtain and benefit from it, it's up to beneficiaries to take the initiative and select a drug plan on their own and then to review that coverage annually to make sure it remains the best option for their needs. That's because premiums, deductibles, co-pays and the drugs covered in the plans change from year to year.
The annual open enrollment period runs from Nov. 15 to Dec. 31, and it's generally during this brief time frame that people can enroll in a new first-time plan or change an existing plan if they want Part D coverage in place as of Jan. 1.
You can get Medicare drug coverage in one of two ways: You can join a stand-alone Medicare drug plan, or you can join a more comprehensive Medicare Advantage plan, similar to a health maintenance organization or preferred provider organization, and get all of your Medicare health coverage from that single provider.
When else you can sign upYou can also join, switch or drop a Medicare drug plan:
- When you first become eligible for Medicare (in a time frame of three months before you turn 65 to three months after the month you turn 65).
- During the three months before to three months after your 25th month of cash disability payments, if you get Medicare due to the disability.
- Anytime if you qualify for "extra help." This includes people who have Medicare or Medicaid, who belong to a Medicare savings program or who get Supplemental Security Income benefits but not Medicaid.
In certain situations, you may also be able to join, switch or drop Medicare drug plans at other times -- for example, if you move out of a service area or live in an institution.
How it worksOnce enrolled in a qualified plan, you generally have to pay a separate monthly premium as well as a yearly deductible of $275. After the deductible amount is paid, you will then pay 25% of the cost of covered Part D prescription drugs up to a coverage limit of $2,510.
In basic Part D plans, drug-related expenses above $2,510 and below $5,726.25 must be paid fully by the beneficiary. This is the program's controversial "doughnut hole," or coverage gap. Thereafter, though, Part D "catastrophic coverage" kicks in, covering 95% of prescription drug costs for the rest of the year. That means you'll pay the co-insurance amount (5%) for your drugs or a small co-payment ranging from $2.25 to $5.60 for each prescription.
What it costsCosts vary depending on the policy you select. The premiums for a basic Part D drug plan can cost up to $25 a month, while premiums for more comprehensive policies, which pay for some or all of your drugs in the doughnut hole, can run from $50 to $75 per month.
Consequently, if you take many drugs, the additional $300 to $900 per year you pay in premiums for a more robust Part D plan could be worth the extra money because you'd likely come out ahead financially.
What happens if you don't enrollIf you have low drug costs, getting Medicare drug coverage could cost you more now, but it will protect you from high drug costs in the future. Remember, we're talking insurance here. Joining Part D when you are first eligible to do so means that you pay a lower monthly premium than if you delay enrolling in an eligible plan for a year or two.
There's a financial penalty for not joining Part D when you are first eligible: It is 1% of the monthly premium for each month you don't enroll, and it is applied to all of your monthly premiums for the rest of your life.

May 6, 2013 11:44 AM by Cane Cutters Media Relations
The countdown to the first pitch of the 2013 Texas Collegiate League season is underway. Only 24 days remain until summer baseball is back in Acadiana. On Monday morning, Head Coach Lonny Landry and Cane Cutters' Front Office cemented the Opening Night roster with the addition of some household names. University of Louisiana infielders Sam Carriere and Brenn Conrad, Nicholls State pitchers Justin Sinibaldi and Jacob Rodrigue, and University of Alabama infielder Chance Vincent are the final pieces to what should be considered a championship caliber roster.
The Ragin' Cajun's own Sam Carriere will don the Cane Cutters' red and blue this summer. The ULL infielder is a junior from Norco, near New Orleans, where he attended Destrehan High School. At shortstop and third base this season, Carriere has completed 21 putouts, 4 double plays, and has 34 assists. In 18 starts this spring, he has gathered 12 runs scored, 5 RBIs, and 5 extra base hits, including one long ball. Before transferring to ULL, Carriere was a member of the LSU-Eunice Bengals where he raked as a freshman and sophomore. During his stay, Carriere hit well above .300 en route to helping Eunice secure the Junior College National Championship in 2012.
Brenn Conrad will join his fellow ULL teammate by taking the diamond this summer at Fabacher Field. Conrad, a freshman from Lafayette High, is beginning to give the Ragin' Cajuns some quality looks as ULL gets deeper into the season. Conrad has one start with thirteen total appearances. He has 3 hits, 2 runs scored, and has shown maturity and discipline at the plate, earning 4 base on-balls in 14 at-bats.
Nicholls State Colonels' freshman righty Justin Sinibaldi will join the Cane Cutters' stable of arms this summer. Sinibaldi, originally from Kenner, Louisiana, played his high school ball at Archbishop Rummel High School. The 6'3", 200 pound slinger has only seen limited action for the Colonels in 2013. In 8.2 innings of work, the freshman has tallied 3 strikeouts and earned a 6.24 ERA.
Sophomore pitcher Jacob Rodrigue will also join the Acadiana staff from Nicholls State University. Rodrigue, from Thibodeaux, attended D. White Catholic High and will add to the bevvy of Louisiana talent found at Fabacher Field this summer. Rodrigue spent last summer with the TCL affiliate Alexandria Aces where he earned a 2-2 record and one save over 12 appearances. This spring, Rodrigue has pitched 14 frames from the bump for the Colonels. He owns a 5.65 ERA and 9 strikeouts on the season.
The Cane Cutters also announced another addition from the University of Alabama this morning. The Crimson Tide will send freshman infielder and Acadiana High School graduate Chance Vincent to suit up for the Cutters this summer. As a freshman, Vincent has seen only a taste action for Alabama this spring, but that won't deter the young Scott, Louisiana native from being a big part of Cane Cutters' summer plans. Vincent joined Alabama as a three-time all district selection and first-teamer in 2011 and 2012.
Opening Night served by Sonic Drive-In is just around the corner! Don't miss your chance to be part of the summer collegiate league action on Thursday, May 30, when the Canes kickoff the season at Fabacher against the Brazos Valley Bombers at 7:00 PM. Thursday night's opener is also Thirsty Thursday featuring $1 beer all night long. For Opening Night tickets, season tickets, group outing information, and more, visit CaneCuttersBaseball.com or call (337) 451-6582. Be on the lookout for the release of the 2013 Cane Cutters' Promotional Schedule and other big news by following the Cane Cutters @CaneCuttersBB and on Facebook.

My name is Sunshine!
Sunshine's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi! My name is Sunshine and I've been living at FACE since January 2012 because only I know why my owner dropped me off overnight on FACE's doorstep. Thank goodness the nice people here at FACE took me in so I'd have a safe place to live and not out on the streets. I've adjusted quite well to napping in my favorite spots (like this basket in a sunny warm spot!) and getting treats from my favorite FACE volunteer. Aren't you ready for a sweet girl like me to be your confidant? I bet you have just the place in your home that I can call my new forever home!

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Titans players and cheerleaders joined forces with Academy Sports + Outdoors on Tuesday to brighten the holiday season for 30 youth from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Franklin and Fairview.
Linebacker Will Witherspoon, tight end
Witherspoon said the Titans enjoyed meeting the youth and seeing them able to pick out what they wanted. He said one boy in his group was able to pick out a skateboard, accessories and a "great basketful of things."
"It was good to see them take full advantage of the opportunity," Witherspoon said. "They're enjoying life, and really enjoying the fact that they got to come out and go shopping and get some of the things they wanted."
President and CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee Dan Jernigan said the unique "Shop with the Titans" event was an "absolute delight" for the organization's members.
"It was a joy to see the smiles on their faces as they shopped for gifts for themselves and their family members," Jernigan said. "We want to send a special thank you to the Titans players and cheerleaders who came out and gave their time in service to our Club members.
"In addition, I would like to thank the Academy Sports + Outdoors in Franklin/Cool Springs for their hospitality and generosity for making this event possible," Jernigan continued. "Their commitment to underwrite the costs made it all possible."
The shopping spree was an extension of the great partnership between the Titans and Academy Sports Outdoors.
"Academy Sports + Outdoors is really excited our NFL partner, the Tennessee Titans, could help spread a little Christmas cheer to some deserving kids from the Boys & Girls Club of Middle Tennessee," said Rick Burleson, Regional Marketing Specialist for Tennessee Academy Sports + Outdoors.
Witherspoon said being involved in the community allows him and his teammates to reveal their personalities that don't always come across during intense game competition.
"It's great to be in the community and do things and let people know who you are outside of the helmet," Witherspoon said. "It's always been a big part of my career. I always wanted to make it happen. People need to know who you are outside the helmet so they don't think you're this raging monster all the time or whatever they decide you are (from how hard you play on the field)."
Titans director of cheerleading Stacie Kinder said the cheerleaders consider shopping with the youth as part of their holiday traditions.
"It's wonderful to see the excitement in the children's eyes when they are choosing their gifts," Kinder said. "It's really what Christmas is all about."

Back-to-School: Four Sticky Situations…and How to Handle Them
You and your child are gearing up for (or have just started) the new school year, and it's probably an exciting but somewhat anxiety-ridden time for both of you. Rest assured that this is true for most families dealing with the challenges of LD. Certain scenarios can create unusually sticky situations, but you can navigate them if you're armed with knowledge, a proactive spirit and a can-do attitude. Here are some examples of sticky situations as well as steps you can take to create a better outcome for your child.
Concern: Your child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) but is in a new school (or simply a new grade level) this year. You're worried about how well the IEP will make the transition along with your child. Will the new school and/or new teacher honor it?
Take action: If your child is moving to a new school but you didn't have a "transition meeting" with your child's IEP team at the previous school, request a meeting to take place before the start of the school year and no later than the end of the first week of school. If you've moved to a new state, your child's new school district must provide an education comparable to that of the previous district until a decision is made to adopt your child's IEP from the previous school district, or to develop and implement a new IEP that meets the applicable requirements pursuant to IDEA and your state's special education rules. Learn more about your child's rights if you move to a new school in the same state or to a different state.
Even if your child is moving to the next grade level at the same school—and will have a different teacher—you may be concerned. Academic pressures increase from one grade level to the next, and teachers have different attitudes and approaches to teaching. In this case, be proactive and set up a meeting with the new teacher(s) early in the school year. Together you can review your child's IEP, you can explain what helps your child learn best, and answer any questions the teacher has. Depending on your child's age, you might include him or her in the meeting. After all, the new teacher will now become a member of your child's IEP team too!
Concern: Your teenager insists on handling his own IEP meetings and decisions.
Take Action: Your teen's independent spirit is a good thing since a teen with an IEP should be advocating for his own needs and leaning less on his parents. That said, few teens (with or without disabilities) have enough knowledge and maturity to handle important decisions independent from adult input—particularly from their parents. Try to gain your teen's trust and convince him that you can help guide him in managing his IEP.
|Back-to-School Tips From a Teen With LDA Florida teen with dyslexia says it pays to be proactive with her teachers from the very beginning of each new school year…because it can help prevent some sticky situations. Here's how she starts the school year:
As a result, she says, "My teachers have told me that doing these things has helped them better understand me, my dyslexia, and how we can work together."
Concern: Your child is worried about being teased, rejected, and bullied by the kids at school. She wants to make friends and stay safe from bullies but lacks the confidence and social skills to do so.
Take action: Take your child's concerns seriously. Children with LD often need extra help learning social skills, just as they need special help with academics. Not only do they miss or misread social cues, they can be easy prey for bullies. If your child expresses social anxiety, learn how to help her develop social skills and be well-informed and proactive in working with your child and her school to prevent bullying.
Concern: Your child attends a private school and has a new teacher who refuses to learn about your child's LD and how to address it.
Take Action: If you haven't already done so, put together a packet of information to share with the teacher, including articles like, What are Learning Disabilities?, Learning Disabilities: What They Are, and What They Are Not, and Learning Disabilities: Sorting Fact from Fiction. You might also go to your state's department of education website and look into the teacher's certification/endorsements. If you can't find a teacher's profile, call the department of education directly and ask to speak to an employee in the Office of Professional Development/Teacher Verification. (Use our Resource Locator to find the contact information for your state department of education.) Understanding the teacher's training can help you understand where he's coming from, what you may want to educate him on regarding your child's needs and how they are best addressed. Before you approach the teacher and school administrators to advocate for your child, make sure you know about special education options for students in private schools.


text: It's a bit hard to imagine the words "Thai" and "country" in the same place – but one listen to this set will show that the title's definitely got the right idea! The work here is oddly rootsy, yet has a modern feel too – a blend of acoustic instrumentation and some more pop-oriented production, used to create a very weird hybrid of South Asian sounds – music that's unlike anything else we can think of! Molam is a regional folk music of Thailand, often based around the khene – a strange bamboo "mouth organ" with some very odd sonic properties. Yet there's also a sense of variation in the music that's really documented here – shifting styles of expression that reflect different regional cultures poised to enter the mainstream with the addition of guitar and keyboards too. Vocals are as wild as the instrumentation – and titles include "Chiwit Sao Molam (Life Of A Molam Woman)" by Kwanjai Kalasin Yuk Patana, "Ruk Mai Somwong (Broken Heart-So Let's Dance)" by Sabaithong Powpuri, "Pua Mao Mea Mao (Husband Drunk, Wife Drunk)" by Unknown, and "Lam Phun Eun Sai (I Call For You)" by Tome Me Malai. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Week 6 of Rolling Across the Aisle Laughing is going to be a hoot. Last week, I think Frank Conniff won!

Others said it isn't fair for people choose one person's joke over another's based on personal preference. I don't think it's fair that everyone with a computer has a keyboard, but that's life. This country isn't about apologies or fairness. It's about laughing at ourselves and our opponents equally or not at all.

It's week 5 of Rolling Across the Aisle Laughing and things are getting RAAL. Last week we took a chance on political cartoons. Only one person voted, and it was purely on production value. We've therefore decided to throw their vote away and declare another election this week, because that's how democracy works!
So, take a look at the candidates and vote in the comments section. And remember, it's fun to reach around and grab onto someone else's sense of humor sometimes.

Rolling Across the Aisle Laughing, Week 4
Welcome to week 4 of RAAL (Rolling Across the Aisle Laughing). We took last week off to do some fundraising in the Hamptons, but this week we're back and ready to elect a new jokester-in-chief. Congratulations to lefty @BorowitzReport for getting the best of liberals in week 3.
Our jokes this week come in the form of comics. Take a look at both and then vote in the comments section. You'll have to do a little more work for the right-wing comic (by clicking the link), but on the bright side, you get to write it off on your taxes.
Week 4:
A favorite from our #cartoonistoftheweek @laloalcaraz on VP Ryan and #Medicare #GCLiberal twitter.com/GoComicsLibera…

Rolling Across the Aisle Laughing, Week 2
Welcome to week 2 of RAAL (Rolling Across the Aisle Laughing)! Last week we pitted a conservative joke against a liberal one and asked you, our readers, to vote for the best one. Even though we didn't pass any new voter ID laws or rezone our comments section, turnout was dismal. With one vote, the winner was the conservative joke, written by @AlinskyDefeater. Congratulations!
This week we have another round for you to judge, and another plea to vote with your sense of humor, not your sense of partisan obligation. YES WE CAN laugh at ourselves.
Week 2:
Rush Limbaugh loved Mitt Romney's birther joke. That's like John Wayne Gacy raving about one of your clown paintings.

Mitt added, "President Obama and I have our differences – I try to avoid caffeine, don't drink much soda, stay away from coke, you know."
