Wow. I could not believe that there was a section for relationships.
Resolved Question:
Wow. I could not believe that there was a section for relationships. I have a question. I am dating a girl now for three months. Everything is great of course because it is at the beginning and we haven't dated as long. I want things to remain exciting for us. I was wondering if you had any advice on what kind of things I could do for her that would be fun for a girl, especially in the middle of the day. There are always things to do when we are hungry. I either make food or she does and at nights we can relax and watch movies or something. Sometimes though in the middle of the day, I can't think of anything to do so sometimes we just sit around. We've been to the park and we have been hiking. I just can't think of things that do not involve what we have done or food. She can be quiet sometimes and she won't speak up about what she wants. I feel a lot that we always do the things I choose and I know she is fine with them, but I would like to surprise her sometime and do things she likes. Any cheap fun ideas would be nice.

Hello and thanks for using Justanswer.com!
First let me say that I love how you're brainstorming ways to have fun in creative and new ways! That's a wonderful way to keep the relationship exciting for both of you and help you to avoid getting into a monotonous routine. Here are a few ideas you might consider...
* I know you've been to the park, but did you feed the ducks and geese?? Find a park with a pond and relive this childhood favorite. If it's windy, bring a kite!
* Go to a local nursery to enjoy the atmosphere and browse the many flowers / plants they have available. On your way out, you could pick up an inexpensive potted plant for her.
* Volunteer together -- Check with local food banks, clothing &/or school supply drives to see if they have a need for volunteers. This would be a fun way for you to connect with one another while helping others.
* Visit an animal shelter or Humane Society. There are so many adorable animals and they can use all of the attention they can get!
* Be a kid again -- Visit a roller rink, ice arena, arcade, or bumper cars. You may even want to bring a young relative along for the fun.
* Explore a new area of town you've never visited together. Look up reviews online (Yelp is great for restaurant reviews) and find a cafe that's known for the best pie / tiramisu / whatever specialty dessert. Make a plan to visit just to see if you agree with the rave reviews.
* Print a list of the Top 100 movies ever made. Highlight the ones neither of you have seen and make an afternoon out of watching an old movie together (don't forget the popcorn!) You might even decide to make this a weekly date where you pick a new movie from the list each time. Check your library to see if they have the movie you're looking for (free is a great price!)
* Look into a cooking class. Many places offer fairly inexpensive classes to teach customers how to make themed dinners, appetizers, or specialty selections (e.g., sushi). Check local cooking schools, culinary stores, and specialty grocers to see what one-time classes they might offer.
* Go to a thrift store and buy a cheap top or pair of pants (the uglier the better!) You could even agree that you'll pick out what the other will wear! Stroll around together in your new tacky attire and laugh at the looks you get from strangers.
* Do a puzzle, play a card game or a board game -- even better if you can find out first what her favorite childhood game was.
* Spend an afternoon taking artistic pictures -- with your own cameras or buy some disposables. Get them developed the same day and enjoy the great shots you've taken.
* Go for a bike ride together.
* Visit an art gallery or art museum.
* Spend an afternoon at a nearby zoo or aquarium. Too pricey? Stop by a few pet stores to visit the fish, birds, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Some even have cats and dogs and welcome customers who would like to hold them.
* This is the perfect time of year to pick berries. Go to a local farm to pick berries (strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are in season now). You could then head back to bake a dessert together as well (cobbler, pie, etc.)
* Visit a bookstore or library. Share your favorite books with one another and pick up something new to read while you're there.
I hope those ideas help!! Best of luck to you!

In an election year filled with calls for change, Marcia McCraw took note of the current lieutenant governor's 32 years in state government and decided his office was a good place to make some.
In an election year filled with calls for change, Marcia McCraw took note of the current lieutenant governor's 32 years in state government and decided his office was a good place to make some.
"He's been in way too long," said McCraw, a Ballard attorney.
McCraw, 54, has been through the wringer in recent years — the loss of her home to foreclosure in February 2006, a DUI four months later and an "acrimonious divorce" from her second husband, whose bankruptcy wiped her out financially. She talks about her grim finances with a "make lemonade" sensibility.
"It's good for you," she said brightly. "You rise to the occasion. I went from an 8,000-square-foot house to a 900-square-foot cottage. I got rid of all kinds of stuff. I don't need stuff."

Most Read Stories
McCraw was raised in New York, and she practiced law while raising two children, now 27 and 25. She settled in Seattle in 1993 after hop-scotching from New York to California to Hawaii and finally to Washington. She passed the bar exam in all four states, and she keeps an active license in two.
The moves, which coincided with her husbands' job changes, gave her experience in areas such as resort development, unemployment law and the day-to-day legal needs of a Canadian hospitality company that had been run by her now ex-husband, Lawrence Horwitz, she said.
In March, McCraw reported earning more than $75,000 as a recruiter for a legal headhunting firm. She now works with King County Councilwoman Jane Hague on converting former railroad rights-of-way to trails. The financial-disclosure form she filed with the state show debts from the divorce of between $18,000 and $45,000, owed to fellow lawyers.
McCraw describes herself as a highly organized person, a candidate who is pro-choice and who supports gay marriage.
In Seattle, McCraw was elected or appointed to leadership positions at USO Puget Sound Area, Pacific Science Center, American Israel Public Affairs Committee and Junior League of Seattle, for which she served as president from 1999 to 2000.
President Bush appointed her to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Council in 2005, and she was named Republican Woman of the Year in 2006 by the Republican Women of Seattle.
Divorce from Horwitz in 2005 stripped her of most of her assets, she said. Horwitz did not return phone messages.
The couple began separating their property before 2003, and Horwitz filed personal bankruptcy in 2005 following a series of failed hotel and motel acquisitions and the financial collapse of his employer, court records show. The couple's $1.9 million home in northwest Seattle was auctioned off to pay more than 341 of his creditors.
In June 2006, shortly after her divorce was final, McCraw was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. The citation showed that McCraw's blood-alcohol level was .20 percent, more than twice the legal limit. She said police were called after she "nicked" a car in downtown Seattle. The police incident report could not be obtained before publishing this story.
"It's the one blot on my record," she said. She pleaded guilty, completed an education class and for six months was required to have a breath-alcohol device in her car. She said she continues to drink but is aware of her limited tolerance since the divorce.
For her campaign, McCraw has raised about $27,000, more than half of it from eight people, including her boyfriend, entrepreneur A. Joel Eisenberg, 74. Several other donors are friends, family or business associates of Eisenberg, who gained notoriety in the 1980s as the father of "dial-a-porn," the 976 and 900 phone-call industry that included sex chat lines.
"He doesn't do anything like that now," McCraw said. "It's certainly not something I'd be involved with."
Eisenberg also loaned McCraw and Horwitz $650,000 against their home before their divorce.
McCraw referred to Eisenberg as her "partner," but later she clarified that she dates other people and has no intention of marrying again.
If elected, McCraw said, she would bring her knowledge of Asian cultures and language to support foreign trade that will help the state's seaports stay competitive as global warming opens up routes farther north. She would focus her attention on promoting renewable energy sources and becoming a sort of ombudsman for the people, she said.
"That's what people care about," she said.

Comments about 4GB USB MP3 Digital Music/Video Player & Voice Recorder w/2.4'' LCD & Camera (Orange/White):
I bought 4 of these for my grandkids for Christmas. I spent quite a while setting up each one with ebooks, photos, movies, games etc. They all failed within a few months. I reloaded the media on several of them and they worked a while longer. The others failed with bad video and could not be revived. These are just bad products, DO NOT PURCHASE!!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Dont under any circumstances buy this junk. First, the driver CD that comes with it doesn't contain any driver for the thing. Second, it appears to only power on when plugged into the USB plug no matter how long you let it charge. Third, there is absolutely no one on the internet, company or userboards who has any drivers or software or even any info for this thing. I had high hopes for this thing but it was really just a waste of time and money.

When we force people to work, people will do the bare minimum to get by, but when we cultivate passion, people will have a natural drive to work.
Children are forced to attend school because we are afraid to let them learn on their own, make their own choices, and do whatever they want.
High schoolers are forced to take standardized tests because we cannot trust a personal and individualized measurement of creativity.
People often find themselves trapped in rigid, organized systems that don't trust the individual.
Many of the systems that exist today are built on feelings of mistrust. However, there are other systems that are beginning to operate from a place of trust.
Trust brings human connection and innovation. Much of the business world is beginning to understand trust. Wikipedia trusts any individual to edit their knowledge base, Quora is trusting individuals to answer questions, Craigslist is trusting individuals to exchange goods.
But while trust brings authenticity, creativity, and personality, it also means vulnerability and inconsistency.
It means that people will no longer have systems and programs to hide behind, and really expose themselves to the world. It means that people will have to take command of their own learning and creating, and building for themselves what they dream in their heart.
When we learn how to trust other people by default, creativity will create innovation at a much faster rate.

LaGrange man suffers severe injuries after motorcycle crash
The man wasn't wearing a helmet and was operating a motorcycle without a motorcycle endorsement.
GOSHEN — A LaGrange man was airlifted to the hospital following a motorcycle crash Tuesday.
The Elkhart County Sheriff's Department, Goshen Fire Department and Clinton Township Fire Department were called to the intersection of S.R. 13 and C.R. 34 at 1:48 p.m. Tuesday, July 22, Elkhart County 911 Center dispatchers confirmed.
Terry Fry, 44, of LaGrange, was riding a motorcycle southbound on S.R. 13 into the intersection at C.R. 34 when a van — driven by Nannie Peachey, of Howe — heading eastbound on C.R. 34, turned onto S.R. 13 into the path of Fry, who was unable to avoid the collision, according to a news release from the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department.
Fry suffered severe injuries to his lower left leg and was not wearing a helmet. He was airlifted by Medflight to South Bend Memorial Hospital for fractures to his leg, according to the release.
Fry was cited for operating a motorcycle without a motorcycle endorsement, and Peachey was cited for failure to yield.
The crash is still under investigation by The Elkhart County Sheriff's Department.
According to a news release, this is the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department's fifth vehicle crash involving a motorcycle in the past several days.
The Sheriff's Department urges motorists to be alert for motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles, and for motorcycle riders to ride responsibly and maintain safe speeds and wear a helmet.
"It may not be required but it may save a life," said a news release.

If You're Wearing Armani, You Don't Eat Armani Dolci
Armani Dolci coming in February.
WWD has it that Giorgio Armani's chocolate delusion line, Armani Dolci, has designed pralines glazed with an ethereal, ghostly coat of white chocolate just in time for Halloween. Unfortunately for those looking to add class to their Serena van der Woodsen costumes and the like by handing out haute candy this year, the New York shops tell us Dolci products aren't sold in U.S. stores.

We should certainly try to find a solution that's solid for the long run, but I think there are two criteria that are important: - autosaving should work absent a 'real' version control system. The answer to data loss prevention in the notebook should not be 'install git/mercurial'. - it should be very simple and easy for normal users to figure out, so I'd strongly prefer a solution that doesn't go to the IPYTHONDIR or depend on additional functionality like a database: since this is about preventing data loss, simplicity and robustness should be paramount. For instance, a user could be working on a directory which they put on a usb stick, and if there's a problem with the notebook, they should be able to find the autosave files right there, not inside their IPYTHONDIR which they may not even know about. Basically, the scenario in my mind is that someone is working at 3am on a project and for some reason the nb crashes. They should be able to find their data quickly, without having to know anything else about how IPython organizes things internally or in a database. So I'm +1 for going next to the working files and auto-cleaned up, though making them be .foo_autosave.ipynb would be totally fine with me, to prevent cluttering the directory during a live session. There's no major rush to do this right away, but it seems like we're slowly converging on a reasonable design that eventually we can implement. We can keep on mulling the interaction of this with the rest of the system to make sure we don't paint ourselves into a corner, obviously. Cheers, f

Stories from the Road: Remembering My Father and Deacon Jones
June 4th, 2013
As a traveling salesperson for Lion Brand for over 30 years, I've crisscrossed the country meeting knitters and crocheters from all corners of the United States and hearing their stories. In addition to yarncrafters, throughout my travels I've sometimes been lucky enough to run into some celebrities. Being that I am a huge sports fan, it is always extra exciting when I run into an athlete. During my travels, I have met the likes of Muhammad Ali and Darryl Strawberry.
My father, like me, traveled for the company for over 40 years and he too ran into his share of famous faces. One of my personal favorites that he had the pleasure of meeting was Deacon Jones of the Fearsome Foursome from Los Angeles Rams. Deacon sadly passed away today and it reminded me of my father, how much he loved traveling for Lion Brand, and of his adventures on the road.
May Deacon rest in peace.
[Pictured: my father George Blumenthal and Deacon Jones.]

The worst experience of my life...
Today I bring you a tale of a horror. A tale of misery. A tale of a man and his lack of bacon.
It all started on a beautiful Sunday morning in December of 2012. Beautiful weather, Cricket's on and my music's blasting. I suddenly thought to myself.. "There's only one way this day can get any better. Bacon." It's simple, it's delicious, it's the greatest thing ever created.. and I don't have any! I get a little pissed off at myself, but realise there's a shop two streets away and it's lunch in the Cricket anyway. I race out of the house only to find out that the shop is out of bacon. Supa IGA my ass.
I race to the next nearest shop and buy some bacon. It's $20! I'm standing there like...
And the clerk repeats, "$20", so I angrily give her the money and leave the store even more annoyed. I start feeling happy again knowing that I'm returning home to the cricket, music and bacon. I step in that front door extremely excited.
I'd only moved into this house a few weeks ago, so I hadn't used the stove. I just chuck that bacon in a pan and put it on that stove anyway. I was too excited about eating some incredible, crispy bacon to pay attention to detail. I lie down on my couch, as relaxed as you could ever be and realise the Australians aren't playing so well now, so I'm just like.
Ten minutes later, I check on the bacon. Anger starts building inside of me when I realise it's still cold! I check the manual for the oven and stove. It says turning on the oven may provide some extra heat depending how high it's turned up. What a unique, stupid design I though, turning that oven up as fast as I could. Then I hear a goddamn knock on the door.
I listen to their crap for 5 minutes, thinking it'll do no harm, but when I get back upstairs.. THE BACON'S FUCKING BURNT. I go to try to make it again, but I'm out of oil!
What a way to ruin a perfect day. Thank you and good motherfucking night.

Awaking once again (The new normal?) well before dawn, I shuffle my way to the kitchen and make the first pot of coffee. I want to say "first" here because I speculate that there may be more than one. I'm not sleeping like I am used to sleeping. I am not sleeping badly. I am simply not sleeping for long. Apparently five hours is all I need right now.
I don't believe it for a minute, but it's what I got. And about the coffee. As much as I blather on about it, I usually drink one cup a day. I might have tea at lunch. So, I cannot blame caffeine overload for this as much as I would like to.
The good news is that coffee is still salubrious. The bad news is that I don't sleep. But this is not a post about sleep or coffee.
This morning I read about the CV as poetry, how politician's spouses can ruin everything, and some more about the end of pop music.
Of the three, which do you think struck a nerve?
I'm predictable. I admit it.
So, here I sit at my desk getting ready to work through some course syllabi that need my attention and I am plagued by "culture" and "power" and various other discourses that we all swim in. Let's talk about music just for a second. Bear with me. Neil Davenport writes:
'For previous generations, pop music was as much about the social side of music as it was about seven-inch singles and chart rundowns. Today, when young people are encouraged to hunker down in the bosom of the family well into adulthood, and with the outside world presented as a fearsome place to be, pop music is no longer quite so resonant as a symbol of excitement and independence, sex and romance. The desirability of pop music has faded, not because of MP3s and free downloads, but because the desire to be extraordinary, independent and free is less of a smash hit today. Sounds, Smash Hits, Melody Maker, NME - no wonder it all seems like a dream.'
Music, I suggest, is only ever social. Even when created alone, it is a means of framing one's social reality. It is a means of navigating (read: expressing and engaging), social life no matter how large the population of one's social milieu. So, there'a a problem with Davenport's line of thought from the get go. Now, that said, on its own, the essay is an interesting bit of published ethnography. I have seen similar rants about the new Coen Brothers film. Pleas for authenticity abound.
Folk music is about one of the most authentic things in the world. It's music that comes from the lower classes, from their real lives. Many folk songs are 'traditional,' which has many meanings, including that specific authorship is unknown. They seem to arise from the cotton fields and mines on their own, true examples of working man pain and suffering and joy. Folk music was, for a time, how a certain segment of society spoke to itself.
The folk revival of the 20th century was all about trying to get back to the authenticity of folk, and as is always the case with movements designed to rediscover purity, it came from an inauthentic place.
Sentimentality and nostalgia for "real" music percolate many of the reviews. Even positive reviews frame exceptions of one kind or another. Also, fascinating. Authenticity. Purity. Rediscovery. Also, as Tom Shone of the Guardian writes, "It's fascinating to hear such an argument for authenticity from the Coens – kings of the unashamedly inauthentic and ersatz."
So intertwined with particular times in history and specific individual experiences of youth, rebellion, and social change are some musics that people are unwilling or unable to "grant" newer musics the same genre status. Newer musics are "inauthentic." The newer musics, claim critics, are of less social value, carry less cultural capital, in some way. They even sound "cheap" or "fake."
I'm taken by this public display of musical disatisfaction and the willingness of our now elders to repeat the same sonic snootery they railed against when they were younger. No, Miley Cyrus is not framing a rebellion. No, there is no specific music to accompany the Occupy Movement (perhaps this is why it doesn't have traction). I wonder, instead, if such movements are hyperlocalized. Listen to the hip-hop of East L.A. or Oakland. Perhaps we need to listen to the urban sounds of the Dominican immigrants in New York City. Or, even less romantic, we need to take seriously the young woman who says to her friends, "I was driving along listening to Beyonce's new CD and it changed my life." Alone in her revolution, she is a rebel no less.
Long live the revolution and the music which accompanies it.

Find all of the elements of $X= \{ n \in \mathbb N: 2^n \ge (n+1)^2\}$
Could someone give me a hint to nudge me in the right direction?
Could someone give me a hint to nudge me in the right direction?
Find the smallest element $s$ in $X$ by hand. Then use induction to prove that for all $k\geq s$ : $k\in X\implies (k+1)\in X$.
$\color{green}{2^0=1\ge(0+1)^2=1}$ ?*
$\color{red}{2^1=2\ge(1+1)^2=4}$ ?
$\color{red}{2^2=4\ge(2+1)^2=9}$ ?
$\color{red}{2^3=8\ge(3+1)^2=16}$ ?
$\color{red}{2^4=16\ge(4+1)^2=25}$ ?
$\color{red}{2^5=32\ge(5+1)^2=36}$ ?
$\color{green}{2^6=64\ge(6+1)^2=49}$ ?
$\color{green}{2^7=128\ge(7+1)^2=64}$ ?
$\color{green}{2^8=256\ge(8+1)^2=91}$ ?
$\color{green}{2^9=512\ge(9+1)^2=100}$ ?
*whether $0$ is considered natural or not is a matter of convention.
It is interesting to find the values at which strict equality $2^n=(n+1)^2$ occurs, which may be real numbers.
This is a transcendental equation which cannot be solved analytically. Let us first take the square roots, to get a linear RHS: $$\sqrt2^n=n+1.$$ And let us derive to find extrema: $$\ln\sqrt2\ \sqrt2^n=1.$$ The single solution, $-\frac{\ln\ln\sqrt2}{\ln\sqrt2}$, lies between $3$ and $4$, so that $2^n-(n+1)^2$ decreases from $0$ (value $0$) to $3$ (value $-8$) then increases after $4$ (value $-9$). So there is a root at $n=0$, and another at some $n>4$.
At this stage, there is little better to do than trial and error with increasing $n$ values. Being pessimistic, we will use exponential search first, i.e. doublings of $n$. $$f(8)=175\ge0.$$ Now the solution is bracketed by $[4,8]$ and we will continue with dichotomic search: $$f(6)=15\ge0,$$ $$f(5)=-4<0.$$ And we are done, $X=[0]\cup[6,+\infty[$.
Assume now that we need to solve for $2^{n-1000}\ge(n+1)^2$ instead. Following the same procedure, we find that the function increases for $n\ge 1003$, $f(1003)=-1008008$.
Then $$f(2006)\gg0$$ $$f(1504)\gg0$$ $$f(1253)\gg0$$ $$f(1128)\gg0$$ $$f(1065)\gg0$$ $$f(1034)=17178797959\ge0$$ $$f(1018)=-776217<0$$ $$f(1026)=66054135\ge0$$ $$f(1022)=3147775\ge0$$ $$f(1020)=6135\ge0$$ $$f(1019)=-516112<0.$$
(At some stage, switching to the secant method can be an advantage.)
Hint: You can prove by induction on $n$ that $2^n \geq n^2$ whenever $n\geq 4$. Then note that $(n+1)^2 = n^2 + 2n + 1$.
Edit: Just to keep the record straight, in reference to comments above, it is true that $Y = \{n \in \mathbb N\mid 2^n \geq m^2\} = \{n\in \mathbb N\mid n\geq 4\}$. However, to satisfy membership in the posted inequality, $$X = \{n \in \mathbb N\mid 2^n \geq (n+1)^2\}=\{n\in \mathbb N\mid 2^n \geq n^2 + 2n + 1\}$$ requires that $n \geq 6$. So we need to reject $4, 5$, since $2^4 = 16 \lt (4+1)^2 = 25$, and $2^5 = 32 \lt (5+1)^2 = 36$. So $2^n \geq (n+1)^2$ is a stricter requirement on $n \in \mathbb N$ than is $2^n \geq n^2$.

Cobbled conclusions: Cancellara finds glory, Omega Pharma struggles
- By Ryan Newill
- Published Apr. 9, 2013
- Updated Oct. 30, 2014 at 1:38 PM EDT
Hushovd, Pozzato gone without a trace
Earlier this spring, it looked like Filippo Pozzato (Lampre-Merida) just might show up this year ready to build on his second place at last year's Ronde and cement his spot in cobbled history. It was a good thing, too — with Alessandro Ballan (BMC Racing) on the sidelines following a horrific off-season training crash, most of Italy's classics hopes rested firmly on "Pippo's" shoulders.
Pozzato started his season with a win at the Trofeo Laigueglia on February 16, then took a promising if embarrassing second place at the Roma Maxima, celebrating victory on the line without realizing that Ag2r's Blel Kadri had already slipped away for the victory. But Pozzato was never able to carry his form in the Italian semi-classics north of the Alps. His best finish from an anonymous cobbled classics campaign was 22nd at Paris-Roubaix, 2:52 behind Cancellara.
Fortunately, the young Oscar Gatto (Vini Fantini-Selle Italia) and veteran Luca Paolini (Katusha), winners at Dwars door Vlaanderen (Across Flanders) and Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, respectively, stepped in to salvage the pride of the nation that was once the brute of the cobbled classics with riders like Gianluca Bortolami, Andrea Tafi, Michele Bartoli, and Franco Ballerini.
Looking at the records those men amassed, it's important to remember that although Pozzato turned professional in 2000, he is still only 31 years old. That's younger than Tafi was when he won Roubaix, younger than Ballerini when he won his second Roubaix, and younger than Bortolami was when he won the Ronde.
Like Pozzato, Thor Hushovd (BMC Racing) started the season off with a win, though his came at the decidedly low-key Tour du Haut Var in France. It was nevertheless a good sign for a rider who'd spent his 2012 season off the back, scratching from race after race before finally calling it a season in mid-August. A team doctor later announced he was the victim of an unspecified viral infection — hardly a satisfying diagnosis, but a diagnosis at least. After a winter trying to rebuild, Hushovd was hopeful he'd be able to contend again in his coveted Roubaix, but after Haut Var and several top-10 finishes at Tirreno-Adriatico, he never really materialized in the north.
After finishing 77th at Het Nieuwsblad — a race he won in 2009 — Hushovd didn't finish Harelbeke but showed signs of life with a 17th at Ghent while teammate Greg Van Avermaet was in the break up ahead. He abandoned the Ronde a week later and was outclassed as soon as the game got serious in Roubaix, rolling across the line in what could pass for the peloton at Roubaix, 3:29 back.
Unlike Pozzato, age is no longer an asset for Hushovd. After two unproductive springs, and at 35 years old, Hushovd will be happier than ever that he signed a three-year deal with BMC Racing, giving him one more shot to capture cobbled glory before the next round of contract negotiations.

I just love this little piece of art. You captured every little personality aspect so far in they're faces, from the conflict in Tim's eyes, to Jay's determination, to Alex' raw deviousness. The attention to detail is striking aswell, with the blood on the pipe, the pattern on the mask, and even the rarely-noted fact that slendy's tie isn't 100% straight in the series.
The closest thing i have to a reason to dislike this image is the weapon you gave Alex...Although I suppose the bloodied Steel/Iron pipe he wanted to use on Tim fits this image alot better than a bloody chunk of concrete would.

The merry scene at BookFest@Malaysia 2013. This year, the crowd is expected to be more than 700,000 strong. -File pic
The Popular BookFest returns for its ninth year and promises
to wow both readers and shoppers alike.
THEY are the worlds we lose ourselves in. And they are the lives we live vicariously. Like Alice, we plunge into the rabbit hole, spiralling down till we reach worlds most fantastical and encounter beings most magical – our very own Wonderland....
Yes, we may sound like someone too far gone on questionable pharmaceuticals. But for avid book readers, this is reality. Such is the power and grip books have over those who love words that they can even transport us to realms unknown.
So you can only imagine the excitement building up among local bookworms as the annual BookFest@Malaysia by the Popular Book Co (M) Sdn Bhd makes a return.
Arguably the largest book festival in the country, the Popular BookFest, now in its ninth year, will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre at the end of this month, with 676 booths sprawled across nearly a quarter million square feet of space.
The English pavilion alone boasts 15 genres of books from children and young adult books to leisure and architectural and all sorts of fiction and non-fiction.
On top of the plethora of choices, what makes it exciting for buyers is that they can enjoy numerous discounts on all items, books and otherwise. In essence, it is a paradise for shoppers and readers.
The book festival is also a congregation of readers, authors and publishers that gather to celebrate the beauty of literature and the delights of reading.
"We treat the BookFest as a platform to congregate all our readers with our authors, publishers and the business partners. Through this festival, all of them come together to celebrate words and the habit of reading," says Helen Goh, Popular's special projects senior manager.
As in previous years, the BookFest takes on a theme, and for 2014, it is "Read On, Dream On".
"The theme refers to the freedom to read without boundaries and, through reading, dreams can be conceived and fulfilled.
"And as part of the theme, we've decided to use the butterfly as our icon, for it truly symbolises the freedom to read without boundaries.
"Through our research, we discovered that in Native American legends, when you catch a butterfly and utter your wishes to it and set it free, your dreams will come true. But our butterfly is not the colourful type. It's made from newspaper cuttings, further emphasising the Read On, Dream On theme," Goh explains.
There are other plans afoot to entice people to visit, according to Goh.
"In any exhibition, as an organiser, the presentation is very important. We cannot be doing the same thing year in, year out. It will be stale. It is important to be innovative and try to think and put all efforts to do a good presentation. As such, for this year, we decided to have different themes on different days to make things more interesting.
"For example, you have one day dedicated to children and another day dedicate to cooking and all things culinary. Besides making it interesting, this will help shoppers and readers to understand the festival better," Goh points out.
Authors corresponding to the different themes will also be invited for sharing sessions. For instance, on the Kids Rock! day, which falls on July 26, you get to meet Singaporean author Shamini Flint (yes, the author of the Inspector Singh series for grownups also writes children's books) and US-based Malaysian author/artist Cheeming Boey.
And in celebration of Popular's 90th anniversary this year, there is the Children's Creative Collage Puzzle Competition and Figurobics Group Exercise Session with Korean aerobics celebrity, Jung Da Yeon.
BookFest@Malaysia 2014 will be on at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from July 26 until Aug 3, from 10am to 10pm daily.
Admission is with purchase of the BookFest catalogue, at RM2.50 per entry or RM10 for multiple entries over the nine days. Catalogues are available at all Popular and Harris bookstore outlets nationwide and at the BookFest entrance. Entrance is free for students who are 18 years old and below and for senior citizens aged 60 and above. For more information, visit bookfestmalaysia.com. Star Publications (M) Bhd is a media partner of BookFest@Malaysia 2014.

I talk to a lot of customers explaining what IBM PureSystems is and about the problems that IBM thinks they are going to solve.
IBM commissioned a study from Forrester Consulting asking where IT Time and Budgets are going, and what the challenges are with shipping a project on time. It's an important problem because about one third of all IT projects ship late and usually over budget.
Looking over this graphic, on the left side, PureSystems can accelerate Specify/Design, Procure, Implement, Configure/test, Clustering, Tuning and Systems Management. All deployed as part of the initial PureSystems deployment. And taking the low end of the ranges of those categories you come away with about 84 percent of an IT project's time and budget are areas the PureSystems family could address.
Specify/design – With PureFlex, you choose from standard, but still flexible configurations, like Express, Standard and Enterprise editions. The design work was done by IBM's engineers and provides you with an integrated and tested infrastructure without having to custom build everything.
Procure- PureSystems' infrastructure is delivered as a single solution stack from a single vendor. This should mean less hassle getting the right infrastructure configuration put together and no expensive mistakes or delays because some small but important component was not included, or configured incorrectly.
Implement – Yes, you really can deploy applications in just four hours from when it rolls into the data center.
Configure/test – There are lots of ways to save money on duplicating your test and development environments. Plus, for most customers, moving from test to production should be much easier.
Cluster/HA – There are some functions in the PureSystems and the way it's architected that can make cluster and HA solutions easier to deploy, test and maintain.
Backup – I see a lot of questions from customers about how you back this up. The simple answer is, pretty much like you back things up today. There are some considerations, but you don't have to re-invent what you're doing today.
Tune – With PureSystems, you get some clarity for most of the hardware platform's performance metrics, disk, memory, CPU and networking. These tools will help with ad hoc style reporting, but don't really have a long enough history (currently, it goes back 30 days) to do longer term trending analysis. You can use the available tools to create your own archive.
Management – This is where PureSystems really shines. The IT industry has spent a lot of time and resources focused on accelerating implementation times, and deployment tools have improved. But, ongoing IT operations tasks are where there is room for improvement. PureFlex includes a Flex System Manager (FSM), which is a compute node dedicated to systems management. Since the nodes, networking, storage, and all other system components are configured to be managed by the FSM at the factory, the entire platform delivers much more functionality than traditional IT environments from the very beginning.
I have a lot of ideas for where to go next, so help me out here. Of these areas, where do you want more detail? What has you looking at PureSystems? Is positioning an issue for you? Do you have a specific question that you're having a hard time getting an answer?

According to a report by WLBT-TV Tuesday, it's possible that a faulty steering cable could have played a role in a deadly boating collision at Ross Barnett Reservoir Sunday.
The station also reports that Brad Hardy of Kemper County, the driver of the boat, was below the legal alcohol limit when the crash happened.
Two men died when the boat veered into boats that were moored to the bank.
One of those killed was Brad's father, Mike Hardy.
A spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks had said that Brad Hardy might face charges. This new information could clear his name.

People in charge of Israel's public relations are obviously clueless
Yair Lapid
Published: 06.04.10, 14:34 / Israel Opinion
Yair Lapid
On Monday this week, when the scope of the PR disaster that took place at sea became known, I tried – just like many other journalists – to get in touch with Israel's Minister of Information Yuli Edelstein. At the time he was staying in Canada. Yet despite calling at a time when people in Canada are awake already, I got a voicemail demanding that I "key in the screening code, or press pound to leave a message." The metallic voice spoke Hebrew, by the way, because Israel's information minister apparently did not think of the possibility that foreign journalists may wish to talk to him.
At 10:30 that morning, one of our senior ministers called the "National PR Center" at the Prime Minister's Office and said that he needs a message sheet because foreign networks keep asking him for interviews. He encountered a long silence on the other end of the line, and then he was embarrassingly told that there is no message sheet. None of the amateurs thought one had to be prepared, because amateurs don't know this is the most basic tool of any media campaign.

Sony's bid into the motion controller market is nearly upon us. PSU is lucky enough to get an early set of Move motion controls and several games to try. Our goal is to give you tons of Move coverage over the next week so you know what to look for when the controller officially launches next week.
This is merely our brief introduction, but we plan to use this space to post links to all of our Move coverage. Look for reviews of Sports Champions, Start the Party!, Kung Fu Rider, EyePet and Racquet Sports (from Ubisoft).
In addition to the software reviews, we'll give you our complete objective take on Move, and provide you with recommendations and features delving further into motion controls.
At this time we don't have luxury video editing suites, but we do have a digital cam and a willing camerawoman. That means we will provide you with video demonstrations when possible, and other video features for you all (most likely) to laugh at.
Look for more coverage tonight and over the next several days. Understand that it is not our job to convince readers to purchase Move or any related titles; rather, we aim to give you frank observations and opinions. We know our community already has plenty of opinions on Move, and hopefully our coverage will offer you an early look at what you can expect with Sony's motion controller.
Check back at this space for upcoming reviews, features, videos, and opinions.
Friday, Sept. 10: Check out our unboxing video here. Look for more video demos soon.
Saturday, Sept. 11: Hear why we think Sports Champions will be the perfect game to introduce everyone to the PlayStation Move.
Monday, Sept. 13: Check out our hands-on video with Sony's Move. We give you some basics in this video, including setup and controller layout.
Monday, Sept. 13: In this video, we go hands-on with Sports Champions. We are working to make better videos, so keep in mind these are all just a starting point.
Tuesday, Sept. 14: Check out our review of Sony's new PlayStation Move here.
Tuesday, Sept. 15: Check out our review of Racquet Sports from Ubisoft here.
Tuesday, Sept. 15: Check out our review of Sports Champions here. This is certainly the best game we reviewed for Move, so far.
Wednesday, Sept. 16: Check out our review of Kung Fu Riders here.

Ashley Massaro prank
A very mean prank was played on Ashley Massaro this week. Someone created a fake Twitter account that pretended to be Stephanie McMahon. The person then contacted Ashley and invited her to attend an upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw. Wanting badly to be involved with WWE again, Ashley enthusiastically accepted the invitation. Upon learning that it was a prank, she deleted the response. No further comments have been made.

COMPAT.eGov.de - Competency Assessment and Training for the Uptake of eGovernment Services by Public Authorities
The question of changing and newly arising e-government competence requirements is at the center of the "COMPAT.eGov.de - Competence Assessment and Training for the Uptake of eGovernment Services by Public Authorities" project. New forms of networked interorganisational cooperation arise, shared service-center are set up, one-stop-front offices with networked back office-structures established. This changing working environment requires different and new competences for public servants. The project's aim is to survey the e-gov competence requirements, develop a framework for e-gov competences, a curriculum and learning scenarios and evaluate these during pilot sessions. The competence approach has an output-oriented focus on a person's holistic performance capacity in a working environment. This analytical approach enables the international comparability as well as the transferability and accounts for all competences apart from their acquirement.
Initially, changed and changing eGovernment competences as well as the alignment of the current VET offers in the single countries are surveyed. A number of experts from different hierarchical and state levels as well as external experts (e.g. academics, consultants) will be included in the quantitative sample. Secondly, the results are validated and deepened in the context of focus group workshops and a reference framework for the eGovernment competence assessment is developed. On the basis of this knowledge continuing VET offers are conceived, tested in pilot sessions and made accessible as digital learning objects in a web portal.

Trafficking in Persons Report 2009 - Benin

|United States Department of State, Trafficking in Persons Report 2009 - Benin, 16 June 2009, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4a4214cd28.html [accessed 1 June 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
BENIN (Tier 2)
Benin is a source, transit, and, to a lesser extent, a destination country for children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation. A UNICEF study found that in 2006 more than 40,000 children were trafficked to, from, or through Benin. Ninety-three percent of victims were Beninese and 92 percent were trafficked within the country. Forty-three percent of children trafficked were subjected to domestic servitude. Of those trafficked internally, 86 percent were underage girls. A 2006 NGO study revealed that more than half of internally trafficked children are taken to Cotonou. Within the country, girls are trafficked primarily for domestic servitude and sexual exploitation, while boys are subjected to forced agricultural and construction work, street hawking, and handicraft activities. There is anecdotal evidence that child sex tourism may be developing in northern Benin. Children are trafficked from Benin to other African countries for the aforementioned purposes as well as for forced labor in mines and stone quarries. A 2005 ILO study found that the majority of victims trafficked transnationally from Benin are taken to Nigeria and Gabon, though some are also trafficked to Cameroon, Togo, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Niger, Republic of Congo, Guinea-Bissau, the Central African Republic, and possibly to Equatorial Guinea. A small number of children are trafficked to Benin from other African countries, primarily Togo, Niger and Burkina Faso.
The Government of Benin does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so, despite limited resources. During the year, Benin continued its strong anti-trafficking victim protection and prevention efforts. Despite these overall significant efforts, the government did not show great progress in prosecuting, convicting, and punishing trafficking offenders.
Recommendations for Benin: Increase efforts to prosecute and convict trafficking offenders and collect data on such efforts; develop formal procedures for identifying trafficking victims among women and children in prostitution and children laboring in the informal sector and private residences; develop and enact legislation prohibiting trafficking of adults; finalize and issue draft decrees regulating the movement of children into and out of Benin; and begin the delayed implementation of the 2007 National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking and the National Policy and Strategy for Child Protection.
The Government of Benin demonstrated decreased law enforcement efforts to combat trafficking offenses during the past year. Benin does not prohibit all forms of trafficking, though its 2006 Act Relating to the Transportation of Minors and the Suppression of Child Trafficking criminalizes all forms of child trafficking, prescribing penalties of up to 20 years' imprisonment – penalties that are sufficiently stringent and exceed those prescribed penalties for rape. The government was unable to provide comprehensive data on its anti-trafficking law enforcement activities in the last year. Five courts outside the capital, however, reported that together they handled a total 20 trafficking cases during the year. No further information was available related to the status of these cases within the court system. The Police Minors Protection Brigade (MPB) reported that in 2008 it arrested 58 suspected child traffickers and brought them to a Cotonou court. The government did not, however, report any prosecutions or convictions of traffickers during the year, largely due to seven months of strikes at the Ministry of Justice that weakened its capacity to record and collect trafficking crime data. This is in contrast to the preceding two years, during which the government demonstrated progressively increasing law enforcement efforts, reporting over 30 prosecutions of trafficking offenders annually and a significant numbers of convictions. The police academy curriculum continued to include instruction on law enforcement approaches to combat child trafficking. The MPB monitored Benin's borders to identify traffickers and victims.
The Beninese government strengthened efforts to protect trafficking victims during the last year. The MPB, working in collaboration with foreign government officials, reportedly rescued 222 victims, an increase over the 190 victims identified and assisted during the previous reporting period. These victims, who were trafficked between Benin and either Nigeria, Gabon, Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Mali, or the Republic of the Congo, received assistance at the government's transit facility, where victims were placed temporarily before being referred to NGOs for care. While the government provides the transit center with electricity, water, and food, an NGO provided salaries for seven personnel who operated it. The government also reported that it collaborated with UNICEF and international NGOs to repatriate 172 foreign child trafficking victims and assist with their reintegration. Between February and September 2008, Beninese authorities collaborated with Nigerian counterparts to repatriate 55 Beninese children who had been trafficked to Nigeria's stone quarries. In November 2008, Beninese officials worked with Cameroonian authorities to repatriate to Benin nine suspected child trafficking victims rescued from a disabled ship off the coast of Cameroon.
The Ministry of the Family and National Solidarity continued to work with UNICEF and schools to place rescued child victims in vocational and educational programs. Benin continued to use its Social Promotion Centers in each of Benin's 77 municipalities to provide basic social services to children, including trafficking victims. The government did not repatriate victims unless a safe reinsertion program, such as schooling, vocational training, or an apprenticeship, had been arranged for each child in advance. Government officials did not follow procedures for identifying trafficking victims among women and children in prostitution. The government interviewed victims to gather evidence to prosecute traffickers, but did not encourage child victims to participate in trials to protect them from trauma, unless a judge ordered them to do so. Victims were not inappropriately incarcerated or fined for unlawful acts committed as a direct result of being trafficked.
The Government of Benin sustained its trafficking prevention efforts through awareness-raising campaigns during the reporting period. In December 2008, the government finalized a two-year, donor-funded sensitization project it conducted in collaboration with a foreign government donor and UNICEF. Government officials made anti-trafficking presentations to educate communities in the northern part of the country. The project educated 177,850 people about trafficking. The Joint Nigeria-Benin Committee to Combat Child Trafficking met in November 2008 and drafted a 2008-2009 Joint Action Plan. While in 2007 the government completed a UNICEF-sponsored National Policy and Strategy for Child Protection that addresses child trafficking, and an ILO-funded five year national action plan to combat trafficking, neither plan has been implemented. Draft 2007 decrees to enact provisions of the 2006 child trafficking law regulating the movement of children remained stalled in a government review process. The government provided anti-trafficking awareness training to Beninese troops prior to their deployment abroad as part of international peacekeeping missions. The Government of Benin did not take steps to reduce the demand for commercial sex acts within Benin.

1. Transport to the meeting - Do you want to travel in the team buses or will you make your own way there? I have 2 mini buses booked, both 16 seats. The buses will be leaving early to allow athletes who compete early to arrive in time for their events.
If I get good feedback it is possible one bus could leave earlier than the other taking those people who a) want to travel on the bus and b) compete earlier.
2. Competing in the meet - Could you please let me know a) Do you want to go to the meeting? b) Which event would you like to be considered for?
Everyone is welcome, official, competitor or supporter and it would be great to see of many as you there as possible! Please give me a call or send an email to email@example.com to let me know the answers to the questions! Take care and thanks, Martin.

Well, been busy finishing off my CCNA course, and as of today I AM FINISHED! What does this mean, I can do fun things again!
That said, here are my official unofficial maps of the encounter maps from Demon Queen's Enclave.
As usual, these maps are save AT SCALE, so if a map is 15 inches across, then the print at 100% will print the map at the correct size.

TAMP (Transitional Assistance Management Program) is a program that offers TriCare standard benefits to separated service members (and their dependents) for 180 days after separation. The coverage begins the day following separation, and you can then go to CHCBP (Continued Health Care Benefit Program- similar to COBRA at $933/quarter for service member, $1900 for family), The separated service member has to call and activate the TAMP benefits. That's it- just a phone call. The service member had to have served for than 30 days and the cause for separation has to be no fault of their own (like a medical condition). DEFINITELY worth looking into! Here's the info:

Hello Everyone, Its been a while since I been on. I have great new, My daughter is coming home next week! Thank you all for the support that you gave me. Prayer works and encouraging your Recruits is very important. The more sane you are, It really gives your recruit the strength. Cause no matter what they are faced with challenges in there. Things that we dont have a clue they are facing.
AMEN, LoriM! I so agree! We are proud of all of them for their enlistment!
Please tell your sons/daughters it is not the length they stayed,, it is the fact they gave the USA a blank check of their life to cash on our behalf no matter the outcome.. Thank them from the bottom of my heart for their service and loyalty to our beautiful country!
I do not believe they can get anything in SEP. Once in SEP it should not be to long before they get news on coming home. Usually not more than 21 days unless there are special circumstances like medical needs that make someone unfit for travel on military standard. They do get more phone calls and internet use in there. I am here for you all, if I can help I will. I pray for you all and your recruits.
How do I address a letter to my son who is in SEPS? The address example above show right under SR NAME - SHIP XXX & DIV XXX, is that the ship and div he was in during the whole bootcamp ordeal?
Are they allowed packages?
FYI.. the link show in this address section does not work:-)
Good morning to all,,, any news on your recruits.. I am praying for them!
Sandra,,, it could be a couple of weeks by the time all paper work is complete.. My daughter just came home last week... I will gladly answer any questions,, I had also post my cell in case anyone has questions they do not want to publicize 724 989 1239. I know what you are going thorough and I will try to help as best as I can. I can even ask my daughter questions and get answers straight from first hand experience.
I know its hard for my daughter that is on Ship 05. She sounds better everytime I talk to her. Does anyone know how long they keep them in there? I was told 10 days.

PK2 earphones are the low impedance version of PK1. Although not as good as PK1, PK2's sound signature is similar to PK1. You don't have to drive PK2 with an expensive head-amp. If you are looking for something with high performance/price ratio, PK2 might be the best choice.

(In fact my first pair were fake!) these earbuds sound GREAT! Especially considering the price ($44) I have a few pair of earbuds in this same and higher price range and these PK3's knock all of them out of the water. They have a flat sounding..." --thebluebulk

This is an open-ended group for people who want to set a modest, but healthy, goal of losing 5 pounds per month. 5 pound doesn't sound like much, if you are obese -- but think about it! 5 pounds per month means 60 pounds per year, 120 pounds in 2 years, 180 pounds in 3 years, etc. Size doesn't matter. We welcome anyone who is attempting to make a healthy weight loss! We will offer each other support, advice and accountability. We do not welcome negativity or "flaming"

A group of churches is working together to help make a Meridian neighborhood, near Wesley House, a better place. The churches are
building a playground for kids.
"So far we have painted the outside buildings. We have installed a basketball goal, poured a basketball court, hung a vision fence and landscaped the area that we call the elementary section in the back," said Trey Long of First Baptist Church of Meridian.
They hope to make it much more, so the work continues.
"We were wanting to have a bigger vision and actually create a whole new Playground for Jesus next to the Wesley House with a full basketball court, a pavilion, a recreational area, and just a nice safe place for children in this community to come and play," Long said.
Of course, every project needs funding. Help from individuals and businesses is welcomed. Long says donations have already come from as far away as Pennsylvania and New York. A total of $45,000 is needed.
"We're doing that little by little," said Long. "And it's come a long way. We're getting really close, and we're just really excited about finishing this project."
