The Milpitas Walmart will not see me back! I went there this morning after sitting in traffic for an hour to pick up some green light bulbs. I kind of expected to see them near the entrance because of all the publicity about the green light program. No luck. I asked a greeter where I might find them and I got a one word answer I didn't understand. I asked again and he pointed toward the back of the store. I seached all over the store and looked at every light bulb on the shelves. After searching for ten minutes, I found a Walmart employee and asked where the green light bulbs were. She told me they didn't have any and wouldn't be getting any. I went to customer service and waited in line to talk to a manager. (Only one person helping at the counter). I finally had a chance to talk to the asst, manager and she told me her store wasnt shipped any and wouldn't be getting any. She said none of the stores in the area would be getting any. OK...that is someone elses fault. But, wouldn't it make sense to place a sign at the entrance to the store explaining the store would not be selling any? That would be a nice thing to do to avoid what happened to me. I called back twice to make this suggestion and no manager ever answered the phone. POOR FORM WALMART. EVERY TIME I SEE THE AD FOR WALMART'S GREEN LIGHT FOR VETS PROGRAM I GET MAD ALL OVER AGAIN!
Worst customer service ever ! So here's my story.. I went in to buy some goldfish for my son I waited 5 minutes patiently hoping someone who worked in the fish department would show up, no one did. I ask a lady who is walking to warehouse if she can have someone help me she says, ill page someone to come help you. Ten minutes pass by no one comes so I see a lady working in the children's clothes department and asked her and she says she can not help me because that is not her department so there's "NOTHING" she can do .. I see another lady walking to the warehouse (the fish department is right next to the warehouse) I ask her if she can please have someone help me it has been 20 minutes and no one has helped me she says she's just a cashier and just to wait by the fish and someone would eventually show up. By that time I was so furious how can an employee not help a customer I mean isn't that their job ? FINALLY half an hour later, the man who works in the department comes and tells me I'm just going to use the restroom ill be back . I didn't know what to say. Idk if I'm exaggerating but this was the worst customer service ever . I wish I could give these rating zero stars
Great prices clean store but the employees need to speak more English...I don't kno whether they r talkin bout or wat
Ahh..the good old Walmart. It's a love and hate relationship. Things are so cheap over there. But you know the customer service is awful. I hate going to Walmart, but I just can't help going...

Hotels, publishers and retailers are trying to capitalize on the buying power of people in their 40s and 50s who experienced the go-go days of the 1980s bubble economy before it imploded in 1991.
In early August, the Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa in Tokyo's Minato Ward hosted a dance event that recalled the discotheque boom of those heady days, attracting some 2,000 men and women dressed aptly for the occasion.
Most of the participants were veterans of the bubble era.
"I used to dance at discos until midnight after work when I was young. I hope events of this kind will help Japan become energetic again," said a 49-year-old employee from Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, wearing a miniskirt and high heels.
This was the second disco event hosted by the Grand Prince since it kicked off the idea last December. The tickets sold out despite prices that topped out at ¥20,000.
Other major hotels are jumping on the bandwagon, hoping the partygoers they attract will return as hotel guests.
In the publishing industry, Sekai Bunka Publishing Inc. will launch a monthly fashion magazine Oct. 7 called Gold, targeting women from 45 to 52 who enjoyed splashing out during those years of conspicuous consumption and have finished rearing their children.
Women in the magazine's so-called gold generation lived through the most energetic and flashy era of Japanese history and are willing to dine at three-star restaurants, take luxury tours and indulge in foreign language studies, said Shinobu Uchiyama, its editor-in-chief.
"We would like to offer information that will help women shine — not as a wife or mother but as a woman," Uchiyama said, adding that the magazine will offer articles on health, beauty, travel and hobbies to promote a high-quality lifestyle.
Consumers from the bubble generation are receiving keen attention from businesses now that personal consumption is gathering steam among those actually benefiting from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's deflation-busting economic program, which is weakening the yen and driving up stocks.
Jewelry and luxury watches are selling well at department stores, while top-notch restaurants are luring more diners.
After years of job and wage cuts, Japan Inc. is eager to fuel the trend by encouraging the bubble generation to return to its free-spending ways.

The Republic of Ireland gained independence from the UK more than 80 years ago - yet it's as if it never happened if you believe travel insurer InsureandGo.
Anyone taking out one of the company's European annual travel insurance policies and hoping to stay with family in the Republic could well think they were uninsured if they take what they were told by InsureandGo at face value.
When one Guardian Money reader, who regularly travels to stay with family in Ireland, rang InsureandGo to clarify the position, she was told by staff that Ireland was part of the UK.
"When I pointed out that the Irish Republic was a separate country and had been for many years, they just wouldn't have it. They said I would have to pre-book two nights accommodation if I wanted to be insured, as if in the UK. In the end I cancelled the policy," she says.
After investigating the mix-up, a spokeswoman for the underwriter AIG Europe confirmed our reader would have been insured. "Patently the Irish Republic is not part of the UK and we do know that. The problem has arisen because these policies are sold both in the UK and Ireland. We will be amending the wording as quickly as possible to make this clear. We will also make InsureandGo staff aware of this."

Sami Yusuf - Mother (Ya Ummi) with lyrics [Islamic nasheed]
Blessed is your face
Blessed is your name
My beloved
Blessed is your name
My beloved
Blessed is your smile
Which makes my soul want to fly
My beloved
All the nights
And all the times
That you cared for me
But i never realized it
And now it's too late
Forgive me
Now I'm alone filled with so much shame
For all the years i caused you pain
If only i could sleep in your arms again
Mother I'm lost without you
You were the sun that brightened my day
Now who's going to wipe my tears away
If only i knew what i know today
Mother I'm lost without you
Ummahu, ummahu, ya ummi
Wa shawqahu ila luqyaki ya ummi
Ummuka, ummuka, ummuka ummuka
Qawlu rasulika
Fi qalbi, fi hulumi
Anti ma'i ya ummi
Mother... mother... o my mother
How i long to see o mother
"your mother, your mother, your mother"
Is the saying of your prophet
In my heart, in my dreams
You are always with me mother
Ruhti wa taraktini
Ya nura 'aynayya
Ya unsa layli
Ruhti wa taraktini
Man siwaki yahdhununi
Man siwaki yasturuni
Man siwaki yahrusuni
'afwaki ummi
You went and left me
O light of my eyes
O comfort of my nights
You went and left me
Who, other than you, will embrace me?
Who, other than you, will cover me?
Who, other than you, will guard over me?
Your pardon mother, forgive me
Artist: Sami Yusuf
Title: Ya Ummi (Mother)
Credit: LyricsTime
This song is dedicated for those who still have mothers. Love Her. Call her now. Show that you care about her. Remeber, it is never too late to apologize for your mistakes. Start with a sorry. You better do it now before she's gone forever.
And for those who already lost their mothers, don't forget to pray for your mother in your prayers (Du'a).
Make her happy everyday.
Happy Mother's day to all mothers. Too late? No because Everyday is Mother's Day.

Ellsworth wrestlers rally twice to win Division 2 state team title
MADISON -- Ellsworth rallied twice from deficits to win the school's fourth state wrestling championship.
The No. 2 Panthers defeated No. 4 Pewaukee 33-19 in the semifinals and No. 1 ranked Lodi 35-23 in the finals of the WIAA Division 2 state team wrestling tournament Saturday at the University of Wisconsin Field House.
Versus Lodi, Ellsworth trailed 17-3 after the 103-pound match. The Panthers rallied back with wins by Sam Huppert at 112, a key pinfall by D.J. Yarwood at 119 and a major decision by Taylor Boettcher at 125.
Spencer Kuesel also picked up a crucial pinfall 53 seconds into his match against the Blue Devils' Justin Miller at 140.
"He took a bad shot and I steered him down towards the mat and kept moving, following him until I could roll on top of him," Kuesel said.
State individual champion Hayden Hauschildt clinched the championship with his 5-0 win at 145 over Tony Zeman. Ellsworth's Shawn Helmueller won the final match 8-6 over Dakota Cable at 160.
Against Pewaukee, Ellsworth rallied from a 15-0 deficit to win nine of the next 10 matches. Ellsworth lost the first four matches as the Pirates moved up some of its best wrestlers one or two weight classes.
But then Panthers freshman Brent Stockwell pinned the Pirates Sean Braden in 1 minute, 19 seconds at 119 pounds to halt Pewaukee's momentum.
"I knew we needed a fresh start and that's what I wanted to provide for the team," Stockwell said.
Ellsworth coach Jack Radabaugh lauded the way his team stayed focused despite trailing in both matches.
"The kids wrestled the way they knew they had to," Radabaugh said. "Even the kids who lost didn't give up big points. That's why our team has such a good dual meet mindset and why they are state dual meet champions."
The Panthers finished with a record of 17-7 overall.

I want to do A/B split testing within a single html page. I guess something like:
50% of the time show this html - and 50% of the time show this html.
However they are input fields with validation so I am thing if I were to do some kind of jQuery hide then the submit button wouldn't work. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Why can't there be two forms, each having their own submit button?
I want to reuse the same code so they are essentially the same, but one needs to be hidden. Its not my code, I only have access to change the look CSS.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Not too long ago, Philadelphia made national and even international news because of violent flash mobs — at least, that what's the media called the phenomenon of large groups of young people coming together in the city through social media, with things sometimes getting out of hand.
The violent episodes had all the right ingredients. And at the time, there was a lot of coverage — from local outlets to the big dogs, like the New York Times and CNN.
"You can see from media's point of view, this is an unusual phenomenon," said Frank Farley, a psychology professor at Temple University and former president of the American Psychological Association.
"If a flash mob occurs and there's absolutely no media coverage, it's not going to gain a lot of attention," said Farley. "In a sense, the media was doing its job, but in the process of course it heightens interest in it around the country. It makes it a larger phenomenon than kids getting together and having some fun, and sometimes what you get with this kind of coverage, you get imitation."
Flawed coverage?
Jan Fernback, media studies professor at Temple, believes that most people learned about them through the news and that the coverage was flawed.
"There was fear mongering surrounding the notion of violent teens, frightened citizens, fear of what would happen to tourism in city, and untold negative possibilities surrounding the development of these new social media technologies," said Fernback.
While Fernback acknowledges the real violence that came with some of these mobs, the stories left out a key voice.
"I felt mainstream media coverage at the time focused so much on teens as out of control, violent, crazy, people who wanted to cause harm and who were inherently violent and in actuality, what was missing from media coverage was the perspectives of these teens."
Teen perspective
Looking for those voices, we interviewed teens on the street in Center City and heard mixed reviews. Some thought the media got the story right. Others thought the media exaggerated, focused too much on the negative aspects, and didn't provide solutions for how to keep flash mobs peaceful.
"It just typecast all African-American young adults are going to be flash mobbers," said Quinton Russ, who was a high school senior during the heat of Philadelphia flash mobs in 2010. He didn't participate, but he says that the extensive news coverage fueled the events. "A lot of people joined flash mobs and wanted to do it just to get attention, because they knew they were going to be on news."
Psychology professor Frank Farley agrees.
"It's kind of a thrill value, not just of doing the event, but having it covered and broadcast and potentially nation and all over world," he said.
Javier Morris doesn't buy that argument. He was in high school back in 2010 and part of the Philadelphia Student Union. He says the media missed a key point — that for most young people, with not many places to hang out or things to do in the city, flash mobs were just an exciting thing to check out, no violence or harm intended. And like every other young person I talked to, Morris feels that life after flash mobs was strikingly different.
"It got to the point where you can't be with three or four friends without adults being like, 'Oh what are they doing?' and 'Oh where are they going?'" said Morris. "It did feel really comfortable because it was just like I have no intention of doing anything bad, so I would like it if you didn't look at me as if I was about to."
In response to the flash mobs, the city imposed earlier curfews for teens and some shops established policies barring teens after 3 p.m. if they aren't accompanied by an adult.
To show the public that young people can come together in a positive, organized way, Philadelphia Student Union organized two non-violent flash mobs in Center City in 2010.
"We went right into the middle of Rittenhouse Square and it was a nice day a lot of people around," remembers Morris. "So when they started seeing bunch of students started coming from different directions, you could already tell they had a bad feeling in the back of their heads. But when we flipped the script on them and showed our organizing stuff, we had their whole attention."
Those positive gatherings didn't go viral or make national headlines — which goes to show, that maybe those of us in the media are missing a big part of the story.
We got the idea to update Philly flash mobs thinking about tonight's airing of "The Central Park Five" on WHYY TV. The Ken Burns documentary tells the story of five teens wrongfully convicted of raping a woman in the "Central Park jogger case." It airs at 9 tonight.

Canadians could bail out nuclear industry for catastrophic accidents
We all know that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is in no hurry to turn Canada into an alternative-energy world beater.
Nor does he appear to be overly concerned about Canada's dreadful record in curbing greenhouse-gas emissions.
But some Canadians may be surprised to learn that he has also left governments with massive financial liabilities if there's ever a Fukushima-style nuclear meltdown in Canada.
In a recent article on the iPOLITICS site, journalist James Munson pointed out that the 1976 Nuclear Liability Act has never been amended.
It means, according to Munson, that "a company like Ontario's Bruce Power would only have to pay $75 million in damages if something were to happen at one of its facilities. Taxpayer money would then step in to cover the rest."
The federal government has been planning for years to increase the cap on liability to $650 million.
But that doesn't satisfy Greenpeace. In a 2009 report, it declared that af $650-million ceiling fails to approach international standards.
Greenpeace campaigner Shawn-Patrick Stensil recently revisited the issue of nuclear safety in an April 9 blog post.
He claimed that engineering giant SNC-Lavalin "used its backroom influence over Canada's Conservative government" to get former Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission boss Linda Keen fired.
"Like Japan, Canada's nuclear industry has been allowed to pull the strings of its own regulator," Stensil alleged.
The official report of the Japanese Diet (legislature) into the Fukushima disaster concluded that the nuclear-power industry was "immune to scrutiny by civil society".
"Its regulation was entrusted to the same government bureaucracy responsible for its promotion," concluded committee chairman Kiyoshi Kurokawa in the document. "At a time when Japan's self-confidence was soaring, a tightly knit elite with enormous financial resources had diminishing regard for anything 'not invented here'."
He added that this "conceit was reinforced by the collective mindset of the Japanese bureaucracy, by which the first duty of any individual bureaucrat is to defend the interests of his organization".
"Carried to an extreme," Kurokawa added, "this led bureaucrats to put organizational interests ahead of their paramount duty to protect public safety. Only by grasping this mindset can one understand how Japan's nuclear industry managed to avoid absorbing the critical lessons learned from Three MIle Island and Chernobyl; and how it became accepted practice to resist regulatory pressure and cover up small-scale accidents. It was this mindset that led to the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant."

If you knew anything about CANDU reactors, you would know that they are failsafe. Why do you think insurers are so confident in providing coverage? Insurance companies are not foolish, they're in it for the money and CANDU is a safe bet.

All Canadian nukes are publicly owned, so all liability goes to the taxpayer anyway. Bruce is leased from the Ontario Government.
None of Canada's numerous Bhopal type chemical facilities in urban areas are publicly owned but a $100B accident killing tens of thousands, rendering hundreds of sq miles of land uninhabitable forever with toxic forever chemical pollution in an accident many orders of magnitude more likely than a nuclear one, still retains that $75M liability limit.
Remembering that Chernobyl was a Soviet nuke weapons plant similar to the US facility at Hanford, we note that nuclear power has never killed a soul worldwide - a perfect safety record.

same old nonsense from greenpeace... why not re-direct your efforts to things that matter (e.g., wildlife protection/preservation, pollution, etc..)? then maybe others will take you seriously.

Nuclear is safe, just move it from 75 to 650 and be done with it since there won't be an accident and the operators have nothing to worry about right?

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hello, Thank you for using this service, I will be helping you with your problem today
Good morning,if you getting power to the main control board on the control panel the control itself has failed.is the board your talking about ? can you see if you have power at the converter board ?
I just checked for voltage at the first place power comes on to the beige power supply board before the transformer. I am not sure where the "converter board" is. I was afraid that if I have power to either of the control boards (beige or green), they would need replaced.
I think they are like $135 to buy though and its probably not worth it.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
By wearing contacts lenses at night you greatly increase your risk of getting a serious corneal ulcer or otherwise damaging your eye. This is especially true if the contact lenses are not specifically designed and marketed for extended/overnight or full-time wear.
The occasional discomfort you are feeling can be thought as a "wake up call" from your Guardian Angel that you are doing something that you shouldn't be doing.......
This discomfort is probably a sign that you might have a micro scratch on your cornea, swelling of your eye or some other "sub-critical" damage to your cornea that, if it was just a little bit worse, or if conditions were a little bit difference, could blossom into a vision threatening corneal ulcer.
So. What is the take home message? Don't do this :(
At least try not to make a habit out of it....
Is there anything else you would like to discuss at this point or have all your questions been answered to your satisfaction?
I hope this information was helpful for you. But I do work for tips so I want to make sure you are happy with me before rating me. If you have another question on this or a related issue feel free to fire away. And please let me know if the rating system gives you any troubles.Thanks in advance,Dr. Rick MD FACS
We have been experiencing problems with the chat system for the last few days. Our engineers are working on it. However, I'll switch over to the Q&A system. This system works a lot like 'text messaging' but an email is sent to each of us anytime something is posted to this thread. We can continue to work on your question there..... :)

Sony Dash to launch Hulu Plus
Sony just announced the availability of the Hulu Plus service on the Dash, a 7″ inch WiFi device ($199) we talked about a while back. This service will join the Dash platform and Sony Bravia Internet Video service, to make accessible a wide array of TV shows to Dash users for $9.99 a month (including current hit programs from ABC, FOX, NBC, etc).

Undersized rookie Gibbons is blur on ice for Penguins
Pure, elite-level straight-line speed can do a lot of things for a hockey player.
It can allow him to create turnovers and pressure anxious defensemen. It can allow him to make up for mistakes — and make for offensive opportunities.
World-class speed also can allow an otherwise undersized and moderately skilled player to catch the eyes of scouts, player-personnel types and coaches.
It even can induce the world's best player to campaign for you as a linemate.
"(High-level speed) is something that (Sidney Crosby) has always — always — wanted on his wings," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "And always wanted with the guys he's playing with."
Crosby's wish, over the past four months largely has been granted in the name of Brian Gibbons. The 5-foot-8 Gibbons, a 26-year-old undrafted rookie, split time this season between the Penguins and AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Yet when he is on the NHL roster and active for a game, he more often than not finds himself on Crosby's right wing.
"Sid's a player that likes and needs his linemates to force the other team with their speed and with getting on defensemen," Bylsma said Thursday, an off day for players following a 4-3 win against Columbus in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
"(Crosby is) able to read off (speedy wingers' forechecks), and read where the puck's going to go because of that speed. You see that with Pascal (Dupuis), and you certainly see that with Brian Gibbons. It's a situation where he forces other teams with his speed, forces them with the pressure he can put on the puck. And Sid is able to read off that."
Crosby's longtime right winger, Dupuis, suffered a season-ending knee injury in late December. Since then, the player most often skating on the line with Crosby and left wing Chris Kunitz — when healthy — has been Gibbons.
At first glance, that might seem curious. The best way to take advantage of Crosby's skills — ones that made him the NHL scoring champion and presumptive MVP this season — is to use him with a player who appears to be a diminutive journeyman? Especially when a highly skilled, 6-foot-2 former first-round pick is an option?
Yes — says no better authority than the highly-skilled, 6-foot-2 former first-round pick who began Wednesday's game on Crosby's line but was swapped out for Gibbons after the Crosby-Kunitz line had a pedestrian first period.
"Gibby is much faster than me, so he fits in with those guys really well," Beau Bennett said.
No player on the team is faster than Gibbons, Byslma said, and he can create havoc on the forecheck and force opponents into mistakes.
"It's definitely one way to… get in position on (an opponent) and then use your speed to kind of get a good angle on them if they're not ready for that speed or just have a bad gap or something like that," Gibbons said. "Even little things, before the play or if they're not ready for it, that's when (speed) comes into play.
"You've just got to use your strengths and play to your strengths. And my strength is my speed, so I try to use it."

Microsoft CEO Still Sees Chance to Work with Yahoo
PALO ALTO, California - Microsoft Corp CEO Steve Ballmer said he sees opportunities to work with Yahoo Inc to create a "better search product" but would not comment on discussions that the two may be engaged in.
Ballmer's trip to the San Francisco Bay area has prompted speculation he might be meeting with Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz about a potential deal.
Ballmer, asked about Microsoft's unsuccessful bid to buy Yahoo last year, said he still thought a tie-up would have been "valuable." He was speaking to students at Stanford University on Wednesday.
"I'm glad we went down the road," Ballmer said. He reiterated previous comments about the potential opportunities of a search partnership with Yahoo, which could bring in more customers and advertisers.
Ballmer also told the audience that the economy is in a multiyear phase of resetting to a lower level.
Yahoo and Microsoft are the No. 2 and No. 3 search engines in the United States with roughly 8 percent market share and 21 percent market share, respectively, in March, according to comScore.
Google Inc, the No. 1 Internet search engine, had nearly 64 percent of the market in March.

I obsessed over painting this space a delicious dark blue or green for months, but kept changing my mind as I wasn't sure how I would like it, plus, it is very time consuming to paint this space with its tall ceilings. But I knew there was no escaping it once I started to dream about painting the room. By this time, I had already ruled out dark blue and knew it was going to be green, Benjamin Moore, Tarrytown Green to be exact. However, once the room was painted, I felt like I needed to paint the sliding doors on the bookshelf(originally a dark muted brown) to pop more against the green.
A before of the room with the bookcase. It has such a different vibe and feel now! My initial thought was to paint those sliding doors on the bookshelf orange, but I talked myself out of it because I thought since orange is my favorite color that I should try something new. Well,
I did and it lasted only a day. I wasn't madly in love with the yellow and since I am such a passionate person, the yellow had to go. So, I was back to having orange thoughts, but it couldn't be just any orange because I didn't want an orange that had too much yellow or too much black undertones.
I remembered this orange candle that I've had for years and brought it to do a color match at my local Benjamin Moore store. That's when I was introduced to the ADVANCE® Waterborne Interior Alkyd Paint. ADVANCE offers the application and performance of traditional oil paint in a waterborne formula that cleans up with soap and water. Once fully cured the painted surface becomes very hardy which meant the sliding doors on the bookshelf wouldn't get chipped easily. I bought a quart in a color called Jeweled Peach which matched the candle beautifully. I also opted for a satin finish instead of high gloss.
I love the contrast between the pink(Benjamin Moore Pearly Pink) in the kitchen and the Tarrytown Green.
It goes beautifully with Justina Blakeney Nana wallpaper too.
Well, there you have it! The day was a dark, rainy, and cloudy one when these pics(except for the last one i took) were taken(which is why all the lights are on) but the colors still shine through. As usual, big thanks to Lea Hartman for capturing almost all of these images for yet another one of my projects so beautifully despite the weather.

Syrian forces have fired "Scud-type missiles" at rebels in the north of the country, escalating the conflict, US and Nato officials have said.
A number of short-range, unguided ballistic missiles had been launched, the officials said.
The US state department would not confirm the type but said missiles had been deployed. It said Syria was resorting to "more vicious weapons".
Separately, a series of blasts has hit the Syrian capital Damascus.
'Napalm-like bomb'
A US official quoted by Reuters and Associated Press confirmed the use of Scud-type missiles.
AP quoted the official as saying that more than half a dozen missiles were fired from the Damascus area into northern Syria. There was no indication any chemical weapons had been used, the official said.

Players take cues from the GM about what is important. The GM is the only true source of information players have, and it is painfully easy for players to latch onto unimportant details.
I see it as a question of consistency. What are the consequences for killing a man? Is there a difference between murdering a random serf and a noble?
Beyond that, Players will follow the GM's lead over what details are important or not. The work to make the consistency work has to be made, but random mooks can be made to be more than cannon fodder or cardboard cutouts.

The Wraith: Duke Levi Bosner
NPCs (Character Sheet) (Criminal/Espionage)
's comment on 2013-03-03 01:25 PM
The Wraith is a creation of his mind, as well as the title used by others (both in the know and in rumors) to talk about his actions.
Levi truly was an empty and devoid person, even before the brainwashing. Without it, his first action would likely be to ruthlessly try and kill the Locust for using him.
Levi has a very penetrating view of human emotion- it is critical to how well he can manipulate others- a view that does nothing to persuade him that humanity is worthwhile. His own feelings, urges and goals are more important than the feelings of anyone else. Understanding others is a means to control and manipulate others, nothing more.
I may create such a servant at a later time. This is an aspect of the character I probably really should address.

Wow. For a first submission this is impressive. It is well conceived, the idea has that spark of originality that makes it shine, and it is very clear that you've put a great deal of thought into this submission.
If I were to include this into my campaign (Disclaimer: I run GURPS), I would likely emulate his abilities using a different system, but I find the explanation of charges and how they affect his abilities useful for creating him within the system, if I were inclined.
I'm also interested in more non-antagonistic uses for this character, as well of the possibility of other elementally-aligned entities who function along similar lines.

The government's decision to fly two armoured vehicles to India at a cost of more than $1-million for Prime Minister Stephen Harper's state visit last November mystified Indian diplomats, and prominent security analysts here say it reflects a shocking lack of understanding of modern India on the part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, whom the government says recommended the move.
The Indian government had offered Canada the use of an armoured Mercedes Benz for Mr. Harper's visit but after a "threat assessment" the RCMP decided it was not sufficient. Canada brought an armoured Cadillac limousine and SUV.
"It's their choice and they are entitled to make a choice – and if it's costly, it's their problem," Syed Akbaruddin, a spokesman for India's Ministry of External Affairs, said of the Canadian government's decision to use a Canadian Forces C-17 Globemaster heavy-lift transport plane to fly the vehicles over for Mr. Harper's four-day visit.
It is not standard protocol for a visiting leader to bring his or her own vehicle, Mr. Akbaruddin said.
India's President uses an armoured Mercedes-Benz S600 while Prime Minister Manmohan Singh – whose security team receives roughly a dozen serious threats to his personal security each day – uses an armoured 2009 BMW 7 Series for his travel in the country, security sources say. Canada brought an armoured Cadillac limousine and SUV.
"To think that India cannot protect a visiting dignitary is testament to very poor intelligence in Western countries and a failure of comprehension – it's just plain stupid," said Ajai Sahni, executive director of the Institute for Conflict Management in Delhi and a leading expert on terrorism in South Asia. "From a pure security perspective, it's money down the toilet."
When asked about the criticism from Indian security experts and officials, a spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Ottawa relied on its own internal assessment of the situation in the country, intimating that India had a unique set of challenges.
"The RCMP makes all operational decisions regarding security requirements," Rick Roth said.
Mr. Roth added that shipping the cars on a commercial flight would have cost twice as much as using the Canadian Forces transport plane. "The cost of this flight was significantly offset by savings achieved by transporting equipment and personnel on the same aircraft."
Defending the decision in parliament, Mr Baird made reference to the fact that India has had two prime ministers assassinated in the past 25 years and faced a major terrorist attack in Mumbai in 2008.
India's President uses an armoured Mercedes-Benz S600 while Prime Minister Manmohan Singh – whose security team receives roughly a dozen serious threats to his personal security each day – uses an armoured 2009 BMW 7 Series for his travel in the country, security sources say. Canada brought an armoured Cadillac limousine and SUV.
Neither British Prime Minister David Cameron nor Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, expected here next month, will bring a car, Mr. Akbaruddin predicted. Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard used the Indian Mercedes on her state visit a month before Mr. Harper's.
Indian analysts said Mr. Baird's justification shows an outdated understanding of the country Mr. Harper has repeatedly identified as a priority partner for his government.
Ajai Shukla, a defence analyst it was "logical" for the RCMP to want to do its own, but he questioned its conclusions. The assassinations which Mr. Baird said factored into the security assessment took place "in a different day and age. India is now probably over-protective – today the Indian prime minister is among the most heavily guarded leaders in the world," he said.
Indira Gandhi was assassinated 29 years ago by her bodyguards in a reprisal for her moves against Sikh militants. Those guards had been removed from protecting her on the advice of intelligence agencies, and the Prime Minister herself reinstated them. Former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi was killed by a Tamil Tigers suicide bomber in 1991 while campaigning for re-election.
Those acts, Mr. Sahni noted, were extraordinary situations.
"Since then, Indian security for VIPs has been of the highest standards and incidents of breach of VIP security are extremely rare and taken very seriously," said Sushant Singh, a defence policy expert with a think tank called The Takshashila Institution. "To cast aspersions on Indian security agencies and the vehicles they would have offered to Mr. Harper in order to justify the transportation of his own car from Canada is a grossly unfair comment."
No foreign leader has ever been attacked in India.
Mr. Shukla said 10 to 12 serious threats against Prime Minister Singh are received each day and "actioned" and that the same task for which carries out those investigations also handles the security of visiting dignitaries.
"I don't doubt they could look after the Canadian prime minister," Mr. Shukla said.
Mr. Sahni called the invocation of the November, 2008 attacks by Pakistani militants in Mumbai an "absurd" comparison, since those were mounted on unguarded, public places, while Mr. Harper was at all times heavily guarded.
"It's a very paranoid reaction – to spend a million dollars to bring his own vehicle, I find that to be frankly outrageous that he would impose that cost on Canadian taxpayers," added Brahma Chellaney, professor of strategic studies at the Center for Policy Research in New Delhi.
Mr. Harper's visit generated almost no media coverage or public reaction in India, and Prof. Chellaney said he found the RCMP's threat assessment bizarre. "Who would want to assassinate the Canadian prime minister?"

Father Joe Harris ...
Trinidad and Tobago will once again have a local as its Roman Catholic Archbishop when Vicar General, Father Joe Harris assumes the position in December, succeeding the current Archbishop, Edward Gilbert who will retire on December 26 at the age of 75.
Today, Harris will move one step closer to this rank when he is ordained as the Coadjutor Archbishop of Port-of-Spain at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. A little over two months ago, the Vatican announced the appointment of the local priest by Pope Benedict XVI to Coadjutor Archbishop. During the time leading up to the ordination service today, Harris was promoted from Judicial Vicar to the Vicar General of the Archdiocese.

CITY commentator Justin Urquhart-Stewart had an audience laughing at the unlikely subject of financial planning when he gave a seminar in Bournemouth.
Mr Urquhart-Stewart is well-known as a financial pundit on TV and radio, in his regular attire of shirtsleeves and red braces.
He spoke at a seminar held by Coy Pond company Blue Sky Financial Planning at Bournemouth's West Hants Club.
He said it was important for people to know what they wanted in their financial future and to plan to get there.
And he said TV and radio reports about the Stock Exchange figures gave people the wrong idea of investment. "That's the financial version of the 2.30 at Newbury.
"We're telling people the wrong message," said Mr Urquhart-Stewart, director of Seven Investment Management.
"The FTSE going up and down like a yo-yo isn't the important thing.
"All that does is frighten people so they think 'I'll put my money in the bank'."
He acknowledged that the industry had played a part in putting people off professional advice.
"People are frightened by it because they fear the industry and are not confident," he said.
He joked that consumers had experienced "pompous gits in red braces telling you what to do" as well as "IFAs (independent financial advisers) not providing you with what they should be doing and banks not exactly helping either".
He stressed the importance of good financial advice and of working out as early as possible what income you would need in later life.
"If it's too late for you, then look at the family and look at the assets and you'll find you can be more comfortable than you would otherwise," he said.
He said he visits schools regularly in an attempt to promote financial literacy.
"Most of us have learned from osmosis. I wish somebody had told me this when I was 20," he added.
Gary Neild, managing director of Blue Sky Financial Planning, said: "My job is to understand or encourage people to live the life they want but so many people are on the treadmill, they don't have time to stop and reflect."
"It was important to have an investment strategy, rather than to let "inertia rule", he said.
He added: "Our working with West Hants makes a lot of sense, marrying health and wealth.
"Hopefully by being fit and healthy you'll have a long life but you need to make sure your money lasts.
"You need to plan to make sure you can spend with confidence."

Drake Breaks Indie Electro/R&B Artist the Weeknd Via Twitter
As his Twitter account surpasses 2 million followers, Young Money rapper Drake has used his platform to introduce a new artist to his fans: indie electronic act the Weeknd.
Though rappers have a long history of breaking artists, it's always surprising to see a prominent hip-hop figure co-sign a previously unknown singer with such a vastly different style. Whether it's a matter of hometown pride — both Drake and the Weeknd hail from Toronto, Canada — or simple appreciation, in either event, Drake undoubtedly brought the singer into the spotlight by tweeting lyrics from the Weeknd's 'Wicked Game,' on March 6, along with a link to a post on his site about the song.
Drake further encouraged his Twitter fans to follow the Weeknd, who had just signed up for an account, and continues to support him via retweets.
It has since been rumored that the Weeknd, Drake and producer Noah "40" Shebib will be working together in the near future, though the Weeknd was quick to note that 40 did not contribute production to his mixtape. "40 did not produce anything on this tape … Shout outs to 40 though!!" he tweeted.

Jasner worked NBA beat like a pro
Testimonials to longtime
When we're with our own kind, many (most?) of us sports journalists tend to put our tongue in our cheek as we go about our business. Part of it is our nature, and part of it comes from swallowing our pride all the time, cooling our heels while we wait to talk to 19-year-olds and asking semi-banal questions to semi-naked men in locker rooms.
But that wasn't how Phil operated. During almost 30 years on the NBA beat, mostly covering the Philadelphia 76ers on a season-long basis, Phil had to chronicle some pretty bad teams. But every time I'd see him at home or on the road, armed with my wise-guy comments about what a drag it must be to cover such a horrid team every night, Phil wouldn't play along.
It wasn't that he wore rose-colored glasses about the teams he covered. He wrote as honestly about their weaknesses as he did their strengths and with a perspective born from experience and a deep understanding of the game. It was just his belief that the teams he covered deserved respect. Cellar-dwellers or champions, you covered them the same way: daily, honestly, respectfully.
Phil could've easily gotten spoiled, too. One of the first teams he covered for the
Most NBA chroniclers of recent vintage have a story or two about Allen Iverson, whom Jasner followed on a daily basis for more than a decade. Iverson was never the easiest guy to interview or write about, and I'm sure Phil had his go-rounds with him. But he never complained, never talked out of school about Iverson, just did his job the same way every day, making sure he got a quote (or tried to), covering him without judging. That's partly why Iverson sent this message via Twitter on Friday night from Turkey: "The world has truly lost a 'great man,' who will be surely missed."
I have the predictable regrets, of course. I never got a chance to tell Phil what I thought about his work. All I can do is try to remember his example and go out and do the job with a little less cynicism, a little more professionalism, a little more like the way he did it for so many years.

3. Cover and reduce heat to low. Leave covered for 15 minutes. When you open it, potatoes will be soft and starting to brown. Let's observe a moment of sizzle.
4. Raise heat to medium-high and brown until you have all those delicious brown bits. Serve in warm tortillas with cheese, salsa, and... and...and... I like mayo on it, okay? Feel free to go with sour cream like Aubrey but I'm pretty sure the entire country of Belgium would support me.
I'd love to hear about meal inventions from your past... Seriously, I can't be the only one with a mom who made bologna and cheese burritos can I? Anyone? Anyone?

Hello All,
What are the tax benifits one can avail when wife is not working or getting very less salary when compared to husband. Please add more light on this.

Hello All,
What are the tax benifits one can avail when wife is not working or getting very less salary when compared to husband. Please add more light on this.
Sunil Kumar
ashal jauhari
Dear Sunil, I got your point. You want to invest in such a way, that you are able to claim section 80C tax benefit & in case the income if any arise, it becomes taxable in the name of your wife.
My dear friend, PPF & Investment oriented Life Insurance policies are the only 2 options. where you may claim tax deductions/benefits on the investments done under your wife's name.
PPF is always tax free, hence question of taxation does not rise.
For investment oriented life insurance policies, again maturity amount is tax free if the 5X sum assured as per current rule & 20X sum assured of the annualized prem. as per DTC is maintained.
NSCs, ELSS, Pension Policies, Bank Tax Saving FDs, Infra Bonds etc. are not eligible for the benefit you are searching for as the investments in these instruments should be in your name only to be eligible for tax benefit.
I hope I'm able to help you.
Sunil Kumar
Dear Ashal,
Now, I realise that I am not clear:-)
Keen to know, if I can invest(that I earn) in my wife name to get tax benifits, since she is not working. If yes, what are the options available?
Sunil Kumar
ashal jauhari
Dear Sunil, I'm unable to understand your query. What you want to know? If your wife is not working & she does not has any source of income, Question of taxation & tax benefit there on does not arise.
Very less salary, I assume you meant to say that she is in zero tax slab. Again being in zwero tax slab, the question of additional tax benefit does not arise.
It's better if you can elaborate your query in detail.

The U.S. Customs Service has revised the list of user-fee airports by adding Edinburgh Airport in Texas and removing Arkansas Aeroplex at Blytheville, Ark. These actions were taken at the request of the airports. The complete list contains 36 airports designated as user-fee facilities. User-fee customs airports are those which, while not qualifying as an international or landing-rights facility due to insufficient volume of business, will provide customs services for a fee. While the airport's authority agrees to pay customs a flat fee annually, the fee is normally passed through to those receiving customs clearances. Fees vary from facility to facility.

In October 2012, several community members came together to bring the vision of HOPE 4 Youth to life. HOPE 4 Youth is currently a provider of drop-in center services for homeless youth, ages 12-23, in the north metro area.
The drop-in center, 2665 4th Ave. N, Anoka, is a place where youth stop in after school and on weekends. It is a place to share a meal, receive food and clothes, use shower and laundry facilities and work with staff to utilize resources available to find shelter, apply for employment, finish schoolwork and obtain necessary resources to help youth take command of their lives.
At that time, more than 650 documented youth were experiencing homelessness in the area. But the numbers keep increasing. Now more than 700 youth have been identified as homeless with 25-50 living on the streets. As winter approaches the need to provide services is even more critical.
The mission and vision of HOPE 4 Youth, www.hope4youthmn.org, is that all youth feel safe, valued and supported while reaching their full potential. This begins with meeting their basic needs and leads to giving them the tools and resources to thrive.
An opportunity for the community to show its concern and support is to attend a fundraiser Nov. 16. Gala 4 Hope is the theme of the event and its goal is to help provide the needed financial resources to continue and extend the services to include overnight housing.
The event will be held at Green Haven Banquet Center in Anoka beginning at 5:30 p.m. with dinner served at 7:30 p.m. Green Haven Golf and Banquet Center is located at 2800 Greenhaven Drive.
The gala is an evening of food, games with cash prizes, silent and live auctions. A limited number of tickets will be sold for the surf and turf dinner with dessert. The event is hosted by Vennekretsen Lodge, Sons of Norway in Anoka.
For ticket, donation and sponsorship information, contact Diane Halvorson at [email protected] or 763-786-6909 (work) or Claudia Bomier at [email protected] or 763-427-4847 (evenings).

BURBANK, Calif. – We've all seen pianos featured in big-time TV shows and films such as Casablanca, All in the Family, I Love Lucy, and Frasier, but where do these masterpiece pianos come from?
"Almost all of the major television shows, whenever you see a piano, those are ours," says President of Hollywood Piano, Glenn Treibitz.
The Hollywood Piano Company has been around for 84 years and has sold and rented pianos to the most famous TV networks and movie studios. The business has been the highest rated company by the Better Business Bureau listings for Los Angeles, Burbank, Glendale, and the Pasadena area.
Established in 1928 and first located near Hollywood and Highland, the business was the hot spot for the rich and famous. Several artists including Frank Sinatra and Fred Astaire were regulars. Other customers included Charlie Chaplin, Walt Disney, and Louis B. Mayer.
The business moved to Burbank shortly after the Treibitz family purchased it from the original family owners. Today, both Treibitz and his sister, Cheryl Treibitz Fox, proudly own the store.
Last year, Hollywood Piano had a grand re-opening that celebrated their renovation of the Burbank facility. The re-modeling includes lots of multi media with 11 LCD screens, the addition of the Hollywood Sheet Music Company, a dedicated high tech adult group piano teaching classroom, and the historical and original neon sign re-installed, resulting in something that Treibitz likes to call "more than just a look."
"We tried to create an experience/environment that is more than you can get from shopping online," Treibitz says.
The hottest piano the company sells, Treibitz opines, is the Estonia acoustic, offering great sounds and touch. "It compares very well to … a Steinway for about half the price … [and]has been very popular."
Hollywood Piano also proudly provides its services to several orchestras and symphonies such as the Pasadena Symphony, Pasadena Pops (for Marvin Hamlisch), California Philharmonic, and L.A. Chamber Orchestra, to name a few.
What separates their piano business compared to others?
"Part of it is our commitment to music. We're all musicians and we're passionate about music and music education," Treibitz says. "We approach it a little bit differently, and the products that we choose to sell represent the absolute best values in every price level compared to competition. For example if a customer's budget is $3,000 we want to give them a piano that performs like a $6,000 piano for that money. Our goal is to give more."
The staff is composed of pianists, teachers, and true experts, providing quality service to its customers. Treibitz himself is a pianist, composer, piano teacher, and writer of musical theater. You might have seen him as the piano expert on the A&E program, Storage Wars. How does the man of many talents balance it all? "It's not easy," he says, but his musical writing and passion keeps him going. This week, he will be the musical director for the Charlie Awards, donating his time for the benefit of the Hollywood Arts Council which helps provide music and art to underprivileged children.
Since 1928 the Hollywood Piano Company has been the trusted home of the world's finest pianos. They're located at 1033 Hollywood Way in Burbank. For more information, give them a call at (800) MY-PIANO [800-697-4266].

Dental and Oral Health (Adults)
Mouth feels rough in texture
Hello there, I noticed a few days ago that the front of my mouth (inside of lips and a bit under the tongue) have became rough in texture. I have not changed my eating habits or anything else that I would normally do to my mouth. It does not hurt and it is not irritable, but my niece has thrush and I just wanted to see it this could be a symptom. I looked it up on the net, but it seems that I would have white on my tongue, and this I do not have.
Any help would appreciated.
It is possible that the roughness you feel may represent a reaction of the skin of your mouth to some form of food or drink. This type of reaction, a mild form of hypersensitivity or allergy-like response, is most common to things like gum or candies that have very intense flavorings or spices such as cinnamon. Tracking down the specific culprit, though, is often quite difficult. In some cases, the areas may appear whitish and/or reddish, but in very mild reactions, roughness of the oral mucosal surface may be the only clinical evidence of anything out of the ordinary.
This change should resolve quickly (unless you run into the problem food/drink/oral hygiene product again). Should the problem persist of worsen, it would be advisable to have your dentist or a dental specialist such as an oral pathologist examine the area(s) more closely.
Good luck!

On a recent Saturday when radio show host Quellique Serf, 13, an eighth-grader at Capital Middle, asked her high school counterparts about the issues they face, she got simple answers.
"Fights. Bullying," said J'lyssa Williams, 17, of Career High. "High school, it's hard."
Hard, also, are the topics tackled — sex, sexting, bullying and other issues teenagers face — during a new radio program, "Teens' Insights," airing at 1 p.m. Saturdays in Baton Rouge on WTQT-FM, a low-power Christian station located at 94.9 on the radio dial.
The show is hosted by teens for teens and for adults who want to know more about what teen life is really about. Adult guests are also interviewed by the teens about local events and issues.
The show is an educational outreach program designed to provide a forum for teens as well as a hands-on way for teens interested in radio and/or journalism careers to see what it is really like, explained adult sponsors Albert Torregano III and Sarah Holliday.
"I always believe that you learn by doing, so being on the radio and being able to communicate over the radio may inspire some of these young people to go into the broadcast industry," said Ernest Johnson, president and CEO of Louisiana Community Development Capital Fund, a nonprofit corporation that owns WTQT-FM.
"The young people are promoting the idea of reducing the violence in the community because they are also a part of that social issue and by coming into the station they get a part of that feel for the business," Johnson said.
Zipporah "Miss Z" Williams, a Southern University graduate and the show's production manager, said they try to keep the show "real." It went on the air on March 9.
"Whatever teens are going through on a day-to-day basis, they talk about it among themselves and share it with the community," Williams said. "It's not always clean."
During the March 30 show, Williams asked, "What is the hardest thing about being a teenager in high school right now?"
"Passing the tests. Some people struggle," J'lyssa replied. "Sometimes I might not pass, and I have to keep practicing and keep practicing and do my best."
"I struggle," added Janel Dupree, 16, of Tara High.
The hardest tests for middle school students are the achievement tests, added Quellique. "Me, myself, if I don't pass them, I will really cry. I want to get straight A's, and when I get a B I'm really disappointed."
When Holliday asked the teens about how they study, for example by setting up a schedule, Quellique answered, "Teens today, like, they don't really focus on studying. Most people try to cheat."
Holliday challenged the teens to "change your mind-set, because you can't cheat your way through life. You may as well study and have confidence in yourself. You can do whatever you want to do when you set your mind to it."
The topic turned to "sexting" and Quellique read a definition of it, "when kids trade X-rated pictures or sexual text messages."
All the teens said they know girls who have sent explicit photos of themselves to boys. The show's other junior high host, Derrique Serf, 15, of Capitol Middle, said he's received sexting messages.
"I believe the girls that do that are disrespecting their bodies," Derrique said. "Girls should treasure their body."
As a Christian who attends Healing Place Church, he said, he believes, according to the Bible, that young people, "should abstain from sexual immorality."
"People feel love when they are having sex, but people don't even show love anymore," Derrique said, "because sex is easy to get now, but love is harder to find."
Quellique advised parents listening to the show to ask questions and be open about what their teens are going through.
"Make them feel comfortable to come to you to talk about anything," she said.
The teens also interviewed Seymore Augustus, father of LSU and WNBA basketball star Seimone Augustus, about Seimone's life growing up in the Gus Young neighborhood and they promoted a fundraising basketball game held recently at the park.
Torregano is president of "Insight," and a supervisor at Gus Young Park who attends the Chapel in the Oaks.
"This is not just a radio show but a ministry to bring in young people," Torregano said. "We want to bring something positive to the community — especially the Gus Young community."
To be a teen guest on the show, email Holliday at email@example.com.
For more information about WTQT-FM, call (225) 334-7490.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Scott Carroll has been getting a lot of phone calls lately.
The rookie was on the receiving end of a prank by teammate and fellow starting pitcher Chris Sale after Wednesday night's game against the San Francisco Giants. Sale was victorious in the matchup, and when reporters flocked to his locker, he was wearing a blue and white hat with a mysterious phone number written on the front.
The number, of course, was Carroll's. When asked what would happen if someone called the number, though, Sale simply said: "You'll see. Give it a call."
With Sale's permission, the calls started pouring in, and now Carroll has to decide whether or not to change his phone number.
However, Carroll has since used the prank to his benefit. The hat Sale wore was a Doodle Hat, and Carroll is a part-owner of the company. Carroll apparently changed his voicemail message to an advertisement for Doodle Hats.

text: The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 10/15/2013 settlement date, which shows a 987,551 share decrease in total short interest for Polaris Industries Inc. ( PII), to 3,568,585, a decrease of 21.68% since 09/30/2013. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for PII at the 10/15/2013 settlement increased to 705,320, as compared to 625,506 at the 09/30/2013 report. That brought "days to cover" down to 5.06, a 30.54% decrease from the 7.28 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release.
