Gamestop didn't have any Pokemon Rumble U figures today!
Today was gonna be the day I got an Eevee!
Give me a little more time. Combusken is a few more lvls til evolving and I want Blaziken in my pokedex. Im working on it right now.
Ok. Blaziken is now evolved. Give me a minute or two, at the power plant.
k. Just been Super Training my Modest Ralts. Already maxed Sp. Atk, now on Speed
Am I...the only one that thinks the movement is extremely awkward in Y? It's still grid based, but with more directions... and it's kind of terrible.
Are you sure you are in the right thread?
God why do I have to be one of the broken users.
Test post for my own research purposes.
It was just a simple question. This nonsense? I don't know what to say about it.
I like it, myself. Reminds me of the Megaman Battle Network series.
I'm getting used to it, but oh holy mother of all that's sacred, the roller skates are too damn fast.
Well if you want to talk about it I'll answer, just seemed out of place over here, then again, it IS a CT.
What nonsense do you speak of?
The female wrestling anime
They can be, yeah, especially since before I got them, I had gotten used to walking with the circle pad. Been very hard to break that habit.
Well considering the entire premise is weak and built around crotch shots and screaming and gagging noises that I would expect to hear in some porno, I don't exactly think very highly of it. And it seems like it's just a gimmick designed to do something that I probably can't even comprehend. There was the obligatory misty bathroom shots so anyone who is watching knows the BD release will be full of tits and ass, which means it'll sell a good deal more than many quality shows. I'm willing to bet it's first volume BD sales are more than Uchouten Kazoku and Gin no Saji (two of the best shows of the summer, Uchouten in particular was simply great) and that will only be because of the pervert shut-ins who this stuff must clearly be aimed at.
In general though, if a show manages to be entertaining, has a good story, quality animation, likable characters, I don't really mind such things. It comes with the hobby territory. I think one of the moments I most enjoyed in Kill la Kill was when they had the reverse fanservice scene, simply because to me it seemed like it was a knowing nod to the absurdity of the main protagonists revealing suit, and they were like, here's something for the ladies too... I like Kill but in that show in particular I'm not a fan of the uniform. I'm not sure why but it just rubs me the wrong way and feels totally unnecessary and out of place.
I don't understand the meaning of the gif. Are you saying such things don't exist or... ?
You think the characters are likable and that it has an actual story.
I'm curious to know what the name of this wrestling anime is.
Wanna Be The Strongest In The World
What I think you misread my statement. Wrestling anime is a steaming pile of dogshit. I said:
I was talking about blatant fanservice in general. If it has those things, then I don't really judge and it won't stop me from watching or enjoying a show.
Sorry, I've obviously spoke too soon.
lol, well I could tell you clearly misunderstood, happens to the best of us.
What's with the changing icon?
I'm always looking for new ways to set myself aside from the pack. And I'm enjoying Kyoukai no Kanata.
Good episode of The Walking Dead tonight.
My Pokemon Y Version update with team & badges:
@OcarinaOfDoom i added your 3DS FC, mine is 1547-5357-3697
@ViolentRain what's yours?
i need to play more, i don't even have the 2nd badge lol
also, gonna put both of my 3DS FC's in my sig
Yeah, I enjoyed it. Good start.
3695 1451 5212
@nookfan adding you too
Friend Codes - please let me barf Give us unified accounts Nintendo!
I like the direction Michonne and Rick's relationship is going. A male and female that are both around the same age but aren't romantic.
I just wanna know whats up with the Harry Potter look a like.
I'm thinkin' he got Chris killed somehow.
I'm actually afraid there's gonna be a romance form between them. Isn't there one in the comics? I may be remembering wrong.
My Pokemon X nickname is Bacon Jack.
I copped out and just shortened my name for the nickname.
Honestly couldn't think of anything clever.
Eat them cupcakes!!! I need those affection points! That way you'll level up even faster!
*Still hasn't gotten the second badge yet, but has six pokemon at levels 19-23*
The first thing I thought when the said I needed a nickname was "I friggin hate you guys now." Then I saw I could come up with my own and thought "I still hate you guys, so I'm going to make you look like idiots by making you say Bacon Jack all the flipping time!"
I'm being picky and only capturing OG pokemon! I'll kill you Pichu!!!
Damn, it's early but I'm really sleepy for some reason
Nite guys
I think she hooks up with Tyreese in the comics. I got a feeling he's gonna die on the show pretty soon though.
Wooo time to play some more!!
If anyone adds my 3DS FC just tell me and give me yours, mine is in my sig
Whatsup people
They should have given the pokemon a voice like in the anime other than Pikachu.
Gonna be so weird when I evolve mine and it doesn't talk anymore.
Not sure if gonna be sad.
I've read that Pinsir has a Mega Evolution. While cool, and I like the idea of Mega Evolutions, it's also a little disappointing that all these old Pokemon are getting Mega Evolutions when some of them, like Pinsir, have been in need of proper, permanent evolutions.

The not-yet-named midsize jet and mid-light jet got the green light from Embraer's board of directors on March 28, and Embraer plans to spend about $750 million to bring the two new jets to market in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Embraer has accepted letters of intent for more than 100 MSJs and MLJs and will start taking orders at EBACE in Geneva this month. Embraer announced that Honeywell will provide the new jets' HTF7500-E engines, nacelles and thrust reversers and Rockwell Collins will supply its Pro Line Fusion avionics suite. For more details on the MSJ and MLJ programs, see 'With MSJ and MLJ launch, Embraer expands bizjet line'.

Boyce Park could join Allegheny County's privatization of operations
Boyce Park's skiing and snowboarding facilities could become part of Allegheny County's plan to privatize more operations at its nine parks, a county councilman said.
County parks department Director Andrew Baechle and Council Vice President Nicholas Futules have been discussing making a proposal to the county administration to contract with a company to operate the facilities, said Futules, D-Oakmont, chairman of the parks committee.
Baechle could not be reached for comment.
The county requested proposals from private companies several years ago but did not receive any, so the discussions have centered around requesting proposals again, Futules said.
County spokeswoman Amie Downs said the administration had no comment on the Boyce privatization proposal.
"The county executive, through the county manager, has asked all of the directors to identify efficiencies (and) opportunities for additional revenues, and that has included commercialization opportunities like the North Park boathouse and the zip line," she said.
County Executive Rich Fitzgerald talked about those plans in an interview on Jan. 23.
"We're going to take a look at, say, our ski slopes, (and ask) is that a business we should be in. I don't know that it is," he said. "Certain things we'll keep as part of traditional park-like activities."
In Monroeville and Plum, Boyce is a 1,096-acre park whose facilities include skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing slopes, a lodge and a ski lift. Privatization would not cut jobs but would allow longer operating seasons and reduced costs for the county, Futules said.
A company that specializes in ski resort operations might provide better maintenance, he said.
"When you know ski season is coming, you might want to test the equipment. You don't want to find out the day it snows that you've got something that's not working. And that's something that's happened," Futules said.
In the past few years, Boyce's ski area has had temporary closings because of mechanical issues. Those included the lift's being down for nine days in the 2010-11 season because a cable came off the guide wheel.
The slopes were open 22 days in 2011-12 because of mild weather, and snow tubing was not offered that season because the park could not make enough snow, Downs said.
The county's nine parks cost about $26 million a year to operate and generate about $5 million in revenue, Futules said.
The parks are partly subsidized with $18 million in Regional Asset District money, which comes from the additional 1 percent sales tax in Allegheny County. Property tax revenue also covers some park costs, Futules said.
On Tuesday, council is scheduled for a final vote on Fitzgerald's proposal for a 10-year contract with Adventure Forest LLC of Derwood, Md., which would build a treetop adventure and zip-line course known as Go Ape North Park at North Park.
The county would collect $20,000 in the first year, with the fee topping out at $40,500 after the fifth year.

Heronbrook Fishery
Opening Times :
Set in a picturesque valley amidst 20 acres of idyllic Staffordshire countryside.
Heronbrook is one of Staffordshire's leading coarse fisheries and fast becoming one of the best match and pleasure fishing venues in the country.
Six amazing pools designed and built by the owner Neil Dale.
Facilities include "The Cabin", supplying a small selection of tackle and baits.
Toilet facilities are also available at the cabin.
The transformation of Heronbrook Fisheries in such a short time must now rate it as one of the countries leading match and pleasure fisheries.
So much so that, the UK Individual Championships (round one) the Maver/AT Pairs Qualifier, the Shakespeare AT Advanced Masters and the Army Nationals are all regular National Events held at Heronbrook Fisheries, along with the NFA organised matches of Fishomania and the Veterans National.

Meadow Pool :
A horseshoe shaped lake with 58 pegs around the inside island.
First stocked in February 2004 with common, mirrors and F1 carp up to 12 oz.
Since then other stocks have seen the introduction of green tench, golden tench, chub and more mirrors and commons.
Pleasure sessions are producing a fish every cast all day and from any peg.
Island Pool :
Built in 2003. this pool has an overall round shape with 31 pegs and average depths of around 6 feet.
There are a very large head of small common and mirror carp around 1lb.
Other species are being constantly stocked, Bream & Tench to 3 lb, Crucian carp, Chub, Roach to 1 lb, Perch & Gudgeon.
Most methods seem to work with the pole proving the quickest at the moment.
The fish respond well to any bait, adding small regular amounts of groundbait to keep the fish interested.
This water is ideal for the beginner and also to introduce the youngsters to fishing. All 31 pegs to have wooden platforms & 100% access for disabled anglers
Bridge Pool :
A purpose built match water opened in 2002.
The pool is a "Z" shape with an island down its full length which has a shelf along the far bank with 5½ feet of water down the track.
With 46 pegs it has become a popular water for match & club anglers.
Productive methods seem to be sweetcorn or meat on the far shelf or floating bread to the island with meat or sweetcorn down the track also producing well.
Along with the carp that go to 6lb you can also find young barbel, tench and chub.
Match Pool :
Opened in 1994 this water is an oblong shape with 26 pegs and a large island within reach of every peg.
Depths range from 4 to 6 feet and is well stocked with a variety of species which include ghost, common & mirror carp, tench, bream, ide, roach, perch, rudd, golden rudd, crucian carp and chub.
Most methods and tactics work, but due to its shape it is more suited to the pole, fished anywhere from the near margins to tight up to the island. However, the waggler works well fished to right hand side where it is a bit wider.
The larger carp, mirrors and commons can be taken tight up to the island on bread, meat or sweetcorn, but you can catch them on the bottom between 6 & 11 metres by using meat, sweetcorn or cat food.
There are platforms large enough for wheelchairs on all banks.
Access to the lake by car is for disabled anglers only, by taking the right hand side of the Specimen Lake.
To reach the Match Pool by foot, take the path on the left hand side of the Specimen Lake.
The Canal :
A purpose built pole water 12 metres wide with over hanging trees and reeds on the far bank.
There is a shallow shelf on the far bank that drops to 6ft of water down the central track and rising to 2ft in the near margins.
The canal has a footpath all the way round with 55 well-spaced and purpose built wooden platform pegs.
Species are carp, tench, chub, barbel, ghost carp, crucian carp, roach, perch, plus many golden tench.
The New Canal :
In December 2005 the New Canal was excavated on the west side of the fishery. It is 300 meters long and a width of 12 meters.
It has been stocked with F1's. Chub, Barbel, Commons, Mirrors and Tench.
Already proven popular with the match angler.
The 2006 Fishomania qualifier was won on the New Canal.
The match record for the water is held by Steve Carrier with a weight of 161lb

From all the letters to the editor over the past few days I conclude that each side is basically saying ''if the other side stopped firing then peace would prevail''. Unfortunately, I'm fairly certain that pointing out the lack of logic in this in a newspaper in Australia won't do a thing to help the people whose lives are being destroyed daily on both sides.
I feel saddened by my powerlessness and all I can do is shake my head at all participants in this stupid war, which is accomplishing nothing but killing the next generation or turning its members into soldiers for the cause.
Barbara Whillock Lake Albert
Drawing an analogy between the systematic and deliberate genocide of millions of children in the Holocaust and current events in Gaza is abhorrent (Letters, November 20). It is either a result of ignorance or intended distortion; both are inexcusable.
Israel takes every possible precaution to avoid loss of innocent lives. Civilians living above arms deposits are alerted and told to evacuate. Many do, hence the low numbers of casualties in such a densely populated area. Others choose not to and others are prevented from doing so by Hamas. Children are held captive by Hamas.
No, Anne Frank would not have sympathised with the leaders that kill them.
Ruth Harvey Dover Heights
Gerard Henderson may well be right: a Palestinian state will not be ''achieved while terrorist organisations attack Israel with rockets aimed at the civilian population'' (''Hamas will never achieve a Palestinian state while killing Israeli civilians'', November 20). But it worked for the Israelis, didn't it?
Zionist terrorists (the Stern Gang, Irgun and others) killed Palestinian civilians, as well as British soldiers and United Nations peacekeepers, to achieve a Jewish state.
Hamas, unfortunately, has not turned the other cheek, but is continuing the millennia-old eye-for-an-eye traditions of the ''Holy Land'' which can only lead to more pain for all concerned.
Michael McGrath Manly Vale
Why do so many letter writers race to their keyboard when Palestinian blood flows? Where is their heartfelt concern for the tens of thousands of Syrians massacred and still being massacred just a few miles away? Where are their letters then?
Is it really concern for the victims that moves them, or hatred for the perpetrators?
David Tester Woollahra
Since the increase of hostilities between Israel and Hamas it has come out that the two sides had been close to successfully negotiating a protocol to prevent exactly this sort of scenario happening; both sides were close to agreeing to not leap to attack the other at the slightest provocation.
And the senior Hamas commander whose assassination by Israel has led to escalated attacks on it, well, he was the person doing the negotiating for Hamas.
This is Israel's idea of ''negotiating peace'': a missile. It doesn't want to negotiate because that would require making concessions. It doesn't want peace because it knows it has vastly superior American weapons, and America standing behind it whenever it uses them.
Gordon Drennan Burton (SA)
''No country on earth would tolerate missiles raining down on its citizens from outside its borders,'' says President Obama in comments on Israel's disproportional response to Gazan rocket attacks, conveniently ignoring his own drone program that has brought death to civilians in at least five countries.
Tim Morris Tweed Heads South
Mr Evan Guttman (Letters, November 20) and other champions of Israel point out that if Hamas et al would cease rocketing Israel then peace would prevail. Would it?
There have been no rockets fired at Israel from the West Bank, and Palestinian co-operation with Israeli security forces has been exemplary - as admitted by Israel.
Yet Israel has announced more settlements and its settlers boast of imposing ''price tags'' by attacking innocent Palestinians. Perhaps they could explain how this amounts to a genuine desire for a two-state solution.
Simon O'Brien London
Tram vote carries no weight
Do we accept 700 people "packing" the Town Hall, showing cards, represents Sydney's population ("Town Hall meeting shows light rail is people's choice for George Street'', November 20)? The "people" were clearly a group of vested interests, with the narrow perspective of retail commerce in the CBD.
A tram would be a highly expensive, limited service and merely a ground-based reincarnation of the monorail but occupying more public street space. A bus tunnel would free up above-ground space for real people, and would carry more passengers than any tram service.
To catch a tram, patrons still have to get to the CBD and change modes, whereas a bus transit can be continuous and seamless from outside the CBD.
The outcome of the meeting is in no way an argument for a sustainable transport system for Sydney - the proposed trams would still use fossil-fuelled electricity. This is simply the tram lobby at its most vocal.
John Ward Bangor
Just fix it - the Catholic Church should be suable
The revelation that a Court of Appeal hearing found in 2007 that the Catholic Church can't be sued for compensation matters on legal technical grounds is stunning (''Victims to be able to sue church'', November 20).
That this loophole has not been plugged in more than five years is appalling and a denial of justice. It is, after all, a simple and quick issue for a parliamentary draftsman to fix.
Can we get on with removing this protection post haste - and while we're at it please check the other churches are not protected by this archaic exemption? If so, plug that loophole too.
This brings to mind the movie The Man Who Sued God, but this is no comedy.
Don Wormald Turramurra
It took decades for society to recognise the level of care for the disabled should not be dependent on whether or who one could sue. Now we are considering facilitating a similar lottery via litigation for sexual abuse by clergy.
There is not a bottomless pit of money and it must be remembered that many of the Catholic clergy worked tirelessly for no pay, to help the poor, the sick, Pacific Islanders, indigenous settlements and to educate rich and poor.
Would it not be more beneficial to use money that would go to individuals to help all victims? A state-run mental health unit or series of units sponsored by all churches may help all those abused instead of the few.
Sarah Childs Lithgow
Please let's not legislate to allow victims of Catholic Church child abuse to sue for compensation payouts. Billions will be siphoned off by parasitic lawyers; fraudsters will get around the necessarily low standard of proof and ''repressed memory'' syndrome will no doubt make a comeback - all serving to ratchet up the modern Australian sense of entitlement to a lump sum.
Toby Prentice Concord West
Hallelujah! The child sexual abuse royal commission secretariat proposes to bring the Catholic Church into line with everybody else and make it legally liable for damage its priests and teachers inflict on others. It has to happen. Nobody should be above the law. This loophole needs fixing immediately, and with retrospective effect.
Di Thian Kensington
Father Leo Donnelly (Letters, November 20) was going so well until his last paragraph, in which he expressed great confidence that ''there is no Catholic priest in ministry in Australia who is an active paedophile''.
We need to be able to leave out the word ''active'', Father Donnelly, to have any confidence. Any ''former'' paedophile should not be allowed anywhere near the Catholic priestly ministry. Apart from the obvious risk to children, there is the prayer: ''Lead us not into temptation''. Would you place an alcoholic in charge of the bar because he is currently not drinking?
Peter Leonard Kingscliff
Headed for a wreck
One cannot but feel sympathy for the clearly distressed RailCorp employee depicted on your front page (''At a stretch … she'll get you there on time'', November 20). This is an employee being placed in an impossible situation to implement a ridiculous solution to a capacity problem.
Regrettably, this is what occurs when accountants usurp engineers and view the travelling public as the compressible component of an equation in contrast to the rigidity of rail and timetable. Fear not, with the event of the first injury or death, the compensation payment will alter the balance of the equation and the suits, who unleashed this chaos, will retreat to their back offices.
Mike Clifford Blaxland
The stark contrast between the career aspirations of Australian children versus those in the developing world is a depressing reflection of their perceptions of the real world through their lived experience (''What do you want to do when you grow up, sport?'', November 20). How ironic that children in our affluent, developed society would take a relatively premium education for granted and squander it through unrealistic, narcissistic and unlikely career goals such as ''becoming a professional athlete'', or ''entertainer'', but children in the developing world, with significantly lower odds of receiving even a basic education, aspire to serve humanity as ''health care professionals''or ''teachers'', of which their communities are likely to also be relatively undersupplied. In summary: self service versus human service. Clever country indeed.
Robyn Dalziell Castle Hill
Make it public
I can only agree with Peter Timmins's suggestion to place MPs' registers of disclosures onto the internet for free public perusal in place of the present archaic systems (Letters, November 19).
I would also suggest that all public contracts (including all conditions) should be viewable on the internet before being signed. The annoying thing about so-called public-private partnerships is that the partnership is kept private from the public under the dubious justification of ''commercial-in-confidence''. A partnership in which one partner (the one paying the bill) is kept in the dark is no partnership. The O'Farrell government's dealings with Mr Packer over the Barangaroo casino (sorry, hotel) don't give too much confidence, though.
Murray Howlett Regents Park
Leaders we prefer
What a pleasure it was to view Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull on Q&A, exhibiting intelligence, civility, humour and what most Australians would consider normal behaviour (''Turnbull plays up his frontbench role in TV joust with Rudd'', smh.com.au, November 20). What a change from the unacceptable conduct consistently displayed by Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott and many others.
Like most Australians, I believe Rudd and Turnbull should lead their respective parties. Why don't the politicians get it? I am a baby boomer and the next election will be the first time in my voting life when I do not want to vote for either party because of the current leadership. What a poor example they set our young folk.
Susan Thomson Lismore
Having watched Ruddbull on Q&A last night I was disappointed that Heather Ridout was not included in the poll for preferred political leader.
John Tuckfield Abbotsford
Drug law enforcement too costly
Recreational use of marijuana has been implemented in Washington and Colorado as a result of referendums of the people (Stay in touch, November 13). Supporters suggest marijuana will provide another revenue stream to budget-strapped state governments and diminish the cost of non-violent drug offences on the expensive US jail system.
Many hope that lawful use will diminish the violence associated with criminal trafficking, as did the end of prohibition. The NSW Liberal government says it has to balance the budget and it is cutting funding to important things such as healthcare, school and vocational education and public transport.
Why not consider cutting the amount outlayed on police, lawyers, courts and jails because we criminalise smoking marijuana? So much gets spent harassing the young and Aboriginal people about marijuana use while our children's access to decent healthcare and education is at risk. It doesn't make sense to me and I wonder if others think the same.
I would rather change the drug laws to save money than sack train safety inspectors, teachers, TAFE teachers, doctors and emergency workers. I would like the NSW government to prioritise people first by changing these harmful laws and then it might be able to find the money it needs.
Beth Shelley Booerie Creek
Taxing gambling profits is win-win
I agree with Lindsay Somerville (Letters, November 20) about revenue projections for the second casino. A yield of $114 million from a casino for overseas "high rollers" seems suspiciously meagre (''Second casino 'bad deal for state coffers''', November 19).
Furthermore, isn't it time for a review of tax policies on all gambling winnings? In the US any winnings over a certain amount are taxed before payout. Here in Australia lotteries seem to offer increasingly bigger jackpots more often, such as the recent OzLotto $100 million. How many winners would object to being so taxed, especially if that tax were designated for health, education or, say, the national disability insurance scheme?
And who knows? It might even help with gambling problems, just as the suggestion that increased alcohol prices might affect alcohol abuse.
Rebecca Wright Potts Point
Rundown rugby
David Nucifora reportedly headed the ARU's contract negotiation team which offered Quade Cooper an incentive-based contract and as a result Cooper has quit rugby union (''ARU opens door for Cooper to walk'', November 20).
Nucifora can now add this latest mishap to his CV, which includes the Brumbies players walking out on him, a disastrous tenure at the Auckland Blues and an abysmal 2012 Junior World Cup for Australia.
It is no surprise that Australian rugby is in such a dire situation. We have a coach who has destroyed our running game and inept administrators who, it would appear, are intent on driving any talented players to rival codes including, in the case of Cooper, boxing.
Deborah Pelser Killara
One more inquiry
NSW Police must be a claustrophobic place to work if you're honest or don't adhere to the police culture.
Chief Inspector Peter Fox has been ridiculed and victimised for speaking out on a number of issues (''Whistleblower polarised police after testifying against officer'', November 20).
Threats made to him from within the police force are a disgrace and send a clear message to politicians that we should also be holding a royal commission into the multitude of problems - Tasers, deaths in custody, integrity - within NSW Police. Don't hold your breath.
David Goldstein Balgowlah
'Tis the season
If Australian retailers are looking for a reason why so many of us are shopping online they need go no further than Jingle [expletive deleted] Bells, which is running on continuous loop in stores and shopping centres (''Shop till they drop: online boom forces stores to cut prices'', November 20).
True, it makes a change from the normal fare of female singers sounding as if a pineapple is being pushed up their nose, but between Jingle [expletive deleted] Bells and [expletive deleted] Santa Claus is Coming to Town, the peace and quiet of internet shopping is hard to resist.

When Sphero released their app-enabled BB-8 droid, the Internet collectively contracted a case of OMGNEED-itis. However, as adorable as he is, controlling him with a smartphone app isn't exactly Jedi-worthy.
Well, Sphero's been doing a little tinkering and they've come up with a new wearable that allows you to control BB-8 with the power of The Force (aka super sensitive gyroscopic motion sensors).
In other words, BB-8 can be controlled by your hand movements. These movements can also be programmed to trigger specific actions.
The prototype models come in Resistance white with orange accents and First Order black with red accents.
I should also tell you that Sphero is will be releasing a battle damaged version of BB-8 in the near future. The new motion accessory will be sold in a bundle with BB-8 and individually when it's finally released. So far, pricing has not been announced.
Head on over to Gizmodo to see the wearable in action.

He was a Jewish blacksmiths son who became a sensation in Berlin in the 1930s performing as a mythical Nordic-style strongman. His employer was con-man, cabaret show promoter and self-proclaimed mystic Hannussen (Tim Roth) who dreamed of forming a Ministry of the Occult in Hitlers government. As anti-Semitism took hold, Hannussens star act decides he has been chosen by God to warn his people. Werner Herzogs fundamental and quite brilliant allegorical fable boasts an original score by legendary composers Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt.

Institutions locales et banques dans la formation et le d_veloppement des districts industriels en Italie
This paper argues that the historical origins and formation of small firms and decentralized industrial systems in some Italian regions depend on the original institutional framework of local economies. In the analysis on industrial districts this historical perspective is often relegated to a short introduction and the question of continuity or break-through character of economic processes is put off in favor of the hypothesis of spontaneous generation. The paper evaluates the role of local capital markets and of government support in the successful development of small business and flexible organizations.

8 Tools For 8 Hours of Energy-Boosting Sleep
"Sometimes the most productive thing one can do is to sleep."
Tired of being tired? You want your energy back? This kind of stuff probably sounds familiar, whether you're moving in slow-motion or frazzled from juggling work, family, and friends. Feeling tired robs you of productivity and pleasure.
So arm yourself for the holidays and beyond with these eight tools that will help you have an amazing sack time, the kind that will boost your energy levels and slow the aging process. And in no time flat, you'll be catching your second wind.
Tool #1: THE MATTRESS
We often seem to be remarkably unaware that our mattress may be undermining our attempts to get a good night's sleep. And although we agree that a good mattress is important for sound sleep, good health and to prevent back problems, we still keep our mattress until it's well past its prime and disrupts sleep.
Survey findings also indicate that people recognize on a theoretical level the crucial role their mattress plays in their sleep and health. But on a practical level, when it comes to their own sleep and health, they usually overlook the condition of the mattress they sleep on every night.
So, maybe what's really keeping you up nights is as plain as the tired old mattress on which you're trying to sleep. Spend some money on a new one.
Tool #2: THE SHEETS
Some quality sheets can be amazing sleep aids. They will make you feel like a monarch and soothe you into sleep, and keep you comfortable all night long. Sure, you'll have to pay a little more up front for them, but considering the percentage of your life that you spend sleeping (or should spend sleeping), it's a small price to pay!
Over the course of an evening, you can release close to a half gallon of sweat and oils, and natural fiber sheets breathe, absorb, and wick the moisture off of you. Synthetic fabrics don't breathe and encase you in your own perspiration. So, make your bed with some quality sheets.
Tool #3: THE PILLOW
It is a very comforting feeling to have just the right pillow to rest an achy, tired body on. For a sound, safe sleep, you need a pillow that will keep your neck aligned with your spine. And the more neutral your neck's position, the wider the nerve passageways running through it will open. The results: a reduced risk of neck pain, and more restful sleep. So choose the right pillow.
Tool #4: THE BLANKET
Do you remember the best sleep of your life? I guess not, since it probably was when you were only hours old. And the reason infants are born to sleep is because they're swaddled with blankets, which gives them the secure sensation of being in utero.
So, go shopping for a new cocoon. Using a comforter will give you that feeling again. Crawl under a variety of fabrics and discover which comforter is king.
Tool #5: THE SHOWER
Another trick to remember is: Hit the shower! Taking a hot bath or shower before you go to bed has long been thought to provide deeper, more restful sleep. When body temperature is raised in the late evening, it will fall at bedtime, facilitating your sleep.
Also new studies with animals show that cooling the brain results in a deep REM sleep. So cold showers are certainly worth a try.
Tool #6: THE FAN
Blocking out noise will help you not only fall asleep faster, but also reach a more restful stage of sleep and stay that way. The most popular way of doing so is to use ear plugs, but this may not be as effective as we'd like, because any sounds made by our own body (even breathing), are amplified. Paradoxically, the best way to block out noise is to produce your own white noise.
By having a constant sound that isn't too loud, other, more disturbing sounds are blocked out. And since noise is probably the most common disruptor of sleep, you're bound to have a positive effect from this. A fan is the most frequent choice.
Tool #7: THE SUPPLEMENT
Despite its reputation, melatonin isn't nature's knockout drug, it's mostly effective only in treating sleep loss related to your circadian clock. So if you're lagging from a transatlantic flight, a small dose of melatonin (3 milligrams) will help you.
But, if you want a better and longer night's sleep, you might have to swallow something else. A study in the European Journal of Medical research found that valerian is comparable to Oxazepam, a medication used to treat insomnia. The root contains valerenic acid and vlepotriates, two chemicals that have powerful sedative properties.
Tool #8: THE SLEEPING PILL
Over-the-counter products will change your sleep architecture. In other words, OTC sleep medications shorten the time you're in the deep stages of sleep, leaving you exhausted in the morning. And the effects can last long after the alarm goes off, making your head feel fuzzy.
So speak to your doctor about a pharmaceutical fix only after you've tried everything else and your sleep is still subpar.
Remember that by improving your sleep you will have a dramatic impact on your body composition, performance and health. So Sleep Well!

Are you insane? Where do you get your ridiculous information? a half gallon? you might want to check your facts once in a while. LOL
Great entry. I'd caution you on the topic of showering just before hopping into bed, as it can make you more alert and actually wake you up. Showering an hour or so before bed, however, would work in the way you suggested. Well, that's my theory anyways.
I'm glad you wrote about using a fan for white noise. I had some serious sleeping problems over the past three years or so, and ever since I started pointing a fan right at my head while I sleep to block out noise, I haven't had any sleeping problems for six months. It's fantastic.
Thanks for writing this.
I have one more to add – the daily exercise!
It seems that on a day which I exercise and drain out my energy, I sleep better!
erb erb, Michael Breus, Ph.D., a senior vice president at Phoenix Sleep LLC said that. But it is your choice to believe it or not. Thank you for your comment.
I'd call a half gallon conservative. I perspire a LOT when I sleep.
Thanks for your concern for our health.
Good Article Ririan, I agree with Kian, just one point is missing from this valuable info. Exercise. Even 30 minutes brisk walk will result in good night sleep. Have a good day. Viji
GREAT post! So often do we get tied up with trying to be as productive as possible that we compromise sleep and suffer eth consequences.
Hey does using a fan cause muscle stifness in the morning?
I found you off "the next big thing"s blog – she or he linked you! I love sleep! I have the best sheets… they are just yummy…. my pillow is getting yucky so it's time to replace it. I suffer from insomnia and this is an excellent list 🙂 My fan spins every night… even in the dead of winter. I must have that white noise.
Anyway, it's nice to meet you!
White noise 🙂 I never knew other people shared my love for this kind of sleeping aids. I have my AC condition turned out most of the night.
Sleeping pill is not a good idea but a soft bed…i just got up and read this.lol might go to sleep again
Hey I luv ur site, and all ur articles. It's been long since u added any new post, i check ur site everyday for useful information, but iam not finding any new updates, plz giv us some more interesting articles. Wud luv to read more…Take care
May I suggest a few things from a stress therapist's toolkit? Establish a nightly routine that tells your body it's time to sleep. Set a nightly bed time and stick to it. Begin dimming the lights or use candles to set a sleep environment.
Aromatherapy is an undervalued sleeping aid. Apply lavender oil to your pillows or place lavender in a pillow sachet bag to induce relaxation. There are some lavender dryer sheets that work well when placed inside the pillow case. Use lavender based showering gels for your nightly shower.
I totally agree that buying the best sheets possible is invaluable to a good night's sleep as well as buying a great luxury blanket or coverlet.
Great points, especially agreed with you on the right mattress and sheets. I might suggest 86ing the caffeine after noon as well. Temperature makes a huge difference for me. I sleep best when it's a little too cold in the room–until you get under the covers.
You're safe with the 'ask your doctor' caveat, but I'm so empowered by wikipedia I have to differ with you there. I can quickly become a better expert on Lunesta than my doctor by virtue of great internet resources. My doctor is there for complicated problems–tests that require machinery and chemicals–and to write me scripts. I defer to their expertise when I need it, but I will not give them carte blanche over my body. Granted, I have a few spare moments each day to research these sorts of things–a luxury most people don't have due to a crazy work life. My point is, sorry for the rant, I take Lunesta because it works like a miracle: take 50mg and smile because you'll fall softly to sleep; the only side effect I've discovered is when you stop using it, it takes two or three days of restlessness to return you back to square one.
If you're a light sleeper (like I am), two tips:
1) A good quality eye mask can help a lot with light. (It doesn't need to stay on all night, just long enough for you to get to sleep.) The really flimsy cheap ones don't stay in place well, but there are a number of masks in the $20-30 range that are comfortable, padded, and block light really well.
(I got mine from http://www.dreamessentials.com/ – no association other than being a satisfied customer, but regardless of if you buy from them, they include a really useful listing of how well a given model blocks light, whether it works well for side sleepers, how thick a profile it is, etc.)
2) I'm also noise sensitive, but didn't want to risk sleeping through my alarm. I discovered the knack while married to my ex-husband (who snored) of putting in *one* foam earplug. (I sleep on my side: it went on the side facing up when I fall asleep.) I'd bury the other ear in the pillow, but still be able to hear my alarm (a CD with soft music) when it went off.
If I rolled over in the middle of the night, and got woken up by noise, it was much less of a sleep disturbance to just roll over (so the earplug was in the exposed ear again) than to bury my head under the pillow, elbow him to roll over, etc.
Post-divorce, it works really well when the cat gets it into her head to start doing noisy things at 3am. And it works well to block normal household noise from my housemates (who pretty much all go to bed after I do) as I'm going to sleep.
Finally, I'm a huge fan of a good-sized body pillow – my lower back and shoulders are both a lot happier with me (and I reduce a lot more stress and strain over night) since I got one.
Half a gallon is 4 pints, if you really sweated half a gallon at night you would wake up weighing about 4lb less than when you went to bed. I don't think so!

If you think merlot is a bulk commodity, you've come to the right place to enjoy it for $5, maybe less.
Crane Lake is cheap stuff, with a classy label made by Bronco Wine Co. That's a Franzia Brothers company, folks who know value-priced wine. They make Two Buck Chuck, and Crane Lake is a small step up. No backbone or tannin, but decent body, friendly mouthfeel, and a bowlful of blueberries and blackberries dusted with cinnamon.
Crane Lake makes cabernet, chardonnay and petite sirah as well, all at prices that make a case hard to resist. It's not meant for the cellar but to drink now at a big family dinner.
Availability: $4 to $6, supermarkets and liquor stores.

Why Women Earn Less Than Men: An interesting viewpoint from a woman on the subject:
In truth, I'm the cause of the wage gap — I and hundreds of thousands of women like me. I have a good education and have worked full time for 10 years. Yet throughout my career, I've made things other than money a priority. I chose to work in the nonprofit world because I find it fulfilling. I sought out a specialty and employer that seemed best suited to balancing my work and family life. When I had my daughter, I took time off and then opted to stay home full time and telecommute. I'm not making as much money as I could, but I'm compensated by having the best working arrangement I could hope for.
102 Year Old Man Takes Out 25 Year Mortgage: Not only that, it was an interest only loan for real estate speculation.
Jonathan Moore, of Mortgages for Business, an independent adviser based in Sevenoaks, Kent, told how he brokered the mortgage for the unnamed 102-year-old, one of hundreds he has arranged for pensioners. "This is a new phenomenon. Obviously there is an element of risk if property prices and rental income suddenly fall but there is no sign of that at the moment," he said.

Perhaps- but if you are buying a firearm, it will still need to go thru a FFL. Checked their price on the Ruger Mk III I just bought, and they are $15 higher than I paid at local dealer- without the shipping and FFL fee I would pay to buy from them.
OK, so they are both using the same web designer. So what?
c3: Which flavor MK III did you get? And what do you think of it?
The websites don't use the same designer, they are the same website.
As an FFL, it is disconcerting that your wholesaler is making it virtually impossible to sell firearms.
6" blued pencil barrel, fixed sights. Just getting it broken in- only about 300 rds so far, shoots great, much better mag release than my old Ruger Standard. digests any 22 LR I have put in it.
As far as wholesaler going to direct retail, yes, that would be a problem- but for firearms, customer will still need a FFL- Some folks refuse to do transfers- others charge an arm and a leg- and some smart folks charge a reasonable price for a transfer- and also sell them ammo, scope, case, cleaning supplies, etc- and probably their next gun.
I have an 03 FFL, but still need an 01 for newer guns. Some folk in this area charge $100, some charge $20.
Yes, I understand. Most of my business are $20 transfers.
I just think its a crappy thing to do. A business is either a wholesaler or a retailer, not both.
Yep, they are the same sites with the same inventory at least with the handguns that I checked. They are all about $40.00 over wholesale. Your wholesaler is you competitor? Not sure what to think of this.
Don't see prices
Do youi have to have your license on file with them to see prices on the website you linked rubble?
I've never even heard of them. Where did they get started?
I usually ask $10-$25 for transfers, depending upon how much of the transaction the Buyer wants me to do...like bidding on an Internet auction in his behalf.
Those who ask $75-$100 for a transfer are usually trying to punish the Buyer for not buying from them. Vote with your feet...never go back.

No neutral wire in your home? No problem
This High-Wattage Dimmer is for you and installs like the traditional Dimmer Wall Switch with the exception of requiring a connection to a neutral. Once installed, setup is quick and easy using simple programming.
RF Wireless Signal Only
Older homes without neutral wires are not excluded from home automation. This 2-wire Dimmer Switch transmits wireless signals only to never limit the expansion of your Insteon network.
Remote Control
Insteon Wall Switches can be remotely controlled from almost any device in your home: Sensors monitoring doors, windows, leaks and more, remotes, keypads and other wall switches throughout your home, even your smartphone when used with the Insteon Hub.
One of the most powerful features of Insteon switches, Scenes let you control multiple devices simultaneously with a single tap. Brighten all of the lights in an entire room with a tap-and-hold or create infinite virtual multi-way switches.
No wall switch is more customizable. Change the paddle color to suit your décor needs. Swap out the LED light pipe for personalized colors. You can even custom-etch text onto the switch paddles for ease-of-use in multi-gang switch boxes.
Remote control with Insteon sensors
Your Insteon Wall Switch can do so much more when given access to the family of Insteon sensors. With a few taps of the set button or a moment's time with your smartphone, you can configure sensors throughout your home to automatically turn on (or off) the lights based on a variety of different actions.
There are some rooms in your home that, no matter what time of day, you always end up turning on the lights: Pantries, closets, hallways, etc. With an Insteon Wall Switch and an Open/Close Sensor (or Hidden Door Sensor), you will never need to turn the light on again. And better yet, you'll never need to remember to turn it off.
Motion & Occupancy
Do you play whack-a-mole all day, turning off the lights in rooms that your significant other or children have habitually left on? Turn every Insteon Wall Switch into an occupancy-sensing switch with an Insteon Motion Sensor. And with Insteon, your Motion Sensor can control multiple Wall Switches simultaneously for large rooms or long hallways.
No one wants to think about the potential for a disaster, but if one were to happen, make your escape as safe as possible by automatically turning on lights to an escape path when Smoke Bridge detects smoke, fire or carbon monoxide from a linked First Alert OneLink detector.
Garage Door
It's no only cool, it's handy too. Whenever you open your garage door, turn on the overhead lights for easier entry and exit from your vehicle. And while you're at it, turn the outside sconces and walkway lights on, too for that extra bit of illuminated peace-of-mind when you come home late at night.
Cases for your Switches
You've got this fancy new remote-controllable Wall Switch, so why blemish it with that old chipped and discolored wall plate? Insteon Wall Plates add that extra bit of frame and polish. Oh - and they are screwless, so all you see is your fantastic new switch.
LED Colors
Your Insteon Wall Switch comes with 9 white LEDs that give you at-a-glance brightness. You can change the status and brightness LED light pipe for custom color indication - white, red, green, blue or amber.

For those who have trouble getting it to work with LED lights (ie. flashing issues, flickering, not going completely off, cycling, etc.), you can add a small 4W incandescent night light (manual switching, not photoLED switched) to the switch and it will work properly.

1 bad and 2 good
I bought 3 of these recently. After a week one of them started to smoke, so I disconnected it (must be a bad controller inside) and I"m currently waiting for a replacement. I had to hard reset a 2nd after it was unresponsive, and the 3rd one is working as expected, but it only been a little over a week. I've had the best luck with the outlet dimmers for my lamps.

- CFL dimmable? Review by Luis
CFL dimmable?
Easy to install. However can this control dimmable CFL bulbs? LED's?
Smarthome reply: Insteon 2-Wire Dimmer is for use with incandescent bulbs only.

- Outstanding - Works Great Review by Markee
Outstanding - Works Great
After ordering the 3 wire units and returning them to get this two wire unit, they work great. Controlling my outside lights at sunrise and sunset automatically from the Hub... Far superior to the old erratic X10 system that they replace. Love the ramp up action, and they are probably easier on the filaments (less surge current when turned on) and the bulbs will last longer... So glad Smarthome is here to help :o)

I installed this two wire switch in a room with a fan and light. I wired it into the light portion which has LED lights in it. It works perfectly dimming, on, off, etc. Sorry Ronald couldn't make it work.

This one of dozens of Insteon products that I have bought over the years. This was needed because of a two wire configuration at a BBQ island. Worked great.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/10/2013 (1405 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's being described as one of the most highly anticipated restaurant openings in the city in years, and all of the proceeds from opening night will be donated to the Friends of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
The Prairie 360 Skyline Restaurant & Lounge -- the latest culinary venture by Winnipeg restaurateur Noel Bernier -- is holding a by-invitation-only grand opening event Nov. 9 in the former Royal Crown revolving-restaurant space on top of the downtown's Fort Garry Place.
About 200 tickets, at $150 a pop, are being sold. A spokeswoman for the Friends of the Museum, which is overseeing the ticket sales, said they should have no trouble selling them all.
"I have no doubt," Kathi Neal, the group's director of marketing and communications, said Monday. "I think people in Winnipeg are really looking forward to supporting the museum and seeing this incredible new restaurant."
'I don't think I've ever had as many calls about a restaurant space as I have about that space'
That view is shared by the executive director of the Manitoba Restaurant and Food Services Association.
"In the time I've been here -- I've been here seven years -- I don't think I've ever had as many calls about a restaurant space as I have about that space," Scott Jocelyn said. "We had this crown jewel in the downtown that was sitting empty (for four years)," Jocelyn added. "A lot of people are interested in what happens with it, especially with all of the different things that are happening downtown. I'm just dying to get in there and see what they've done with it."
What Bernier and his business partners have done is an almost complete makeover of the Royal Crown space, which was spread out over four floors. The only area that hasn't seen wholesale changes was one of the two lounges on the 28th floor.
"The rest of the entire complex was completely gutted and renovated," Bernier said. "It won't look at all like it did before."
He said there will be two lounges on the 28th floor. The 29th floor will be kitchen space, the main revolving restaurant will be on the 30th floor, and the top floor will be a smaller revolving restaurant reserved for private functions.
The new restaurant will have a decidedly Manitoba theme, with locally sourced foods and beverages, lots of wild game, and "a lot of hearty, farm-style dishes," Bernier said.
And in a nod to Winnipeg's ethnic diversity, the appetizers will include dishes from such countries as India, the Philippines and El Salvador, and entrees that include traditional French, Scottish and aboriginal dishes.
"It will be a theme and a menu that reflect the type of people we have here, not just the type of food we grow here," he added.
He said he and his partners are happy to be donating the proceeds from the opening night event to the Friends of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
"As a long-time supporter of the Museum project and everything it stands for, the decision to select it as the beneficiary of our opening-night fundraiser was actually quite simple. It was a natural fit."
He said the restaurant will provide Winnipeggers and visitors to the city with a bird's eye view of not only the nearby museum, but the entire city.
"So another reason for partnering with them is that these two properties are going become linked with one another as far as tourism goes," he added.
He said Prairie 360 will be closed on Nov. 10, and open to the general public on Nov. 11.
It will be the fourth entry in Bernier's fast-growing stable of local eateries, which includes Hermanos Restaurant and Wine Bar, Corrientes Argentine Pizzeria and Carnival Brazilian BBQ in the city's East Exchange District.
Later this month, Bernier and his partners will open the city's first craft-beer pub -- Barley Brothers -- in the former Kelsey's Restaurant location on Empress Street.

Ask a Therapist: Broken Friendships with Richard Kneip
WebMD Live Events Transcript
Some friends come into our lives for a short time and some are with us for a good part of our lives. Join Richard Kneip, PhD, as he answers your questions about broken friendships.
The opinions expressed herein are the guests' alone and have not been reviewed by a WebMD physician. If you have questions about your health, you should consult your personal physician. This event is meant for informational purposes only.
Moderator: Welcome everyone! Today's guest is Richard Kneip, PhD. He will be answering your questions about broken friendships.
lonelyeyes99: My friend became pregnant about the same time I found out I couldn't have children. I kind of strayed away but now realize how much we need each other. What can I do?
Richard Kneip, PhD: Overcoming estrangement in a relationship requires openness and honest communication. The fact that you recognize that your own feelings of envy over your friend's pregnancy created distance in the relationship is important, and your friend would probably appreciate your sharing this with her. Without knowing that, she may be left wondering about the reasons for your distance. As you share with your friend your thoughts and feelings, you will be making an important contribution to the restoration of the relationship. You can find more information about marriage, relationships and communication at www.planetpsych.com.
minou_5_1999: How can I forget somebody who broke my heart?
Richard Kneip, PhD: Having a romantic relationship broken off abruptly is one of the most difficult experiences we can have. While you may never fully leave behind the hurt you are experiencing, it will be important that you come to understand that your partner's decision was made for their own reasons and had nothing to do with your worth as a person. As you appreciate the fact that you are lovable and will move on and form new relationships, it will become easier for you to allow your partner to do the same.
floppygoth: When a person can't forgive you, is it just best to let it go until they come around?
Richard Kneip, PhD: Yes, of course. It may be important to allow for opportunities to talk about what it is that is troubling the other person, or specifically in what way they feel they have been wronged. Inability to forgive is usually related to our perception that we have been treated unfairly or wronged in some way. Usually, the wronged person would like amends to be made and sometimes a simple "I'm sorry" is sufficient. However, if it is not, then there may be little more than you can do other than to let them sort it out for themselves.angelique_liz: I had a best friend and we broke up cause I was too jealous. What should I do to get her back?
Richard Kneip, PhD: I'm assuming you broke off the relationship as a result of your jealousy. If you decided that you are wrong and that you behaved poorly, then of course the first and most important thing for you to do is to express your regret to your friend. If she is truly a friend, then I am sure she will be relieved that you wish to renew the friendship. In relationships, the single most important factor in the quality of the relationship is open and honest communication. It usually isn't easy, as our feelings, pride, and embarrassment may get in the way, but overcoming these things and expressing ourselves openly is crucial in establishing good relationships.floppygoth: If a friendship is completely broken off, what are some activities that can facilitate grieving and healing?
Richard Kneip, PhD: In part, that would depend upon the circumstances under which the breakup took place. Nonetheless, it is very important when any relationship breaks up that we come to some understanding as to why the breakup occurred. Usually, we defend ourselves against the pain and disappointment by blaming the other person entirely for the breakup. On the other hand, it can be equally destructive when we blame ourselves entirely. Recovery from the hurt cannot take place effectively until we come to a balanced appreciation of how we contributed to the breakup, and also what we can learn about ourselves so we can avoid repeating the same mistakes in future relationships.

Charm Skinner could easily be a poster child for Buddy Day.
Held across New Zealand on November 15, Buddy Day is a community event that aims to raise awareness and start conversations about the role adults play in preventing child abuse.
The plucky 18-year-old is starting the conversations by talking about the verbal and emotional abuse she dealt with growing up and how she has put that behind her.
Charm is on the path to a career in politics, bolstered by her selection earlier this year as a Youth MP where she represented Labour MP Nanaia Mahuta at Youth Parliament.
The Year 13 Hamilton Girls' High School student is open about her childhood.
"Throughout my life I was subjected to heavy marijuana use and suffered the devastating effects from verbal abuse," says Charm.
"As I got older, the verbal and physical abuse started becoming more violent and regular."
Her self-esteem at an all-time low, Charm's Auckland-based grandparents and uncle encouraged her to get the best out of her education and took her away for holidays at every opportunity.
The situation came to a head in February 2011 when Charm fled the family home and went to live with another grandparent nearby. That situation wasn't ideal, so Charm now lives with her aunt and uncle.
"They provide me with stability and, for once, I have been shown what it's like to be part of a family," she says.
Despite Charm's childhood, she applied herself at school and her academic record speaks for itself.
"I am very passionate about education and especially being a young Maori student who, according to statistics, shouldn't be in this percentage of students that have done well."
Charm was recently awarded a Jubilee scholarship from Auckland University that will see her receive $2000 toward tuition fees each year for three years.
If she passes all her NCEA exams, Charm will have earned a place at Auckland University where she will work toward a double degree in law and politics.
Charm has also been awarded $1000 toward her tertiary studies from the ex-Vietnam Service Association Children and Grandchildren's Trust and was honoured by her school with an award for outstanding effort.
"I want to show others that they can achieve no matter what or where they come from," she says.
"I want to be a voice for all, no matter ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation.
"I want to be a voice for the ones who weren't shown how to voice their issues, for the ones from broken families where they weren't taught right from wrong, or encouraged to gain an education, for the ones whose parents neglected them and brought them up around violence and drugs.
"No one has the right to take away your education. You have the ability to achieve high grades and do well in school and gain the education you are rightfully entitled to. I have done exactly that and achieved higher in my education than I ever thought possible."
The day Charm left her parents' home for the last time her father told her "you won't ever achieve your dreams".
Charm's dream is to be a Labour MP. You can bet she'll achieve it.

DARRYL Ritchings is confident he has what it takes to overcome the pressure of riding for his hometown club when he begins his Elite League career in 2014.
The Purton teenager has been named as Swindon Robins' final rider for the new season, replacing Josh Bates after the Yorkshireman was released to allow him to ride for his home club in Sheffield.
Ritchings feels honoured to be following in the footsteps of team manager Alun Rossiter in riding for his hometown club and although he knows he will be closely watched by the paying public, Ritchings is just as sure he will be able to deal with being so closely monitored.
"I've been going to Swindon as long as I can remember so to get the chance to ride for them now is an amazing feeling and I just can't wait," he said.
"It's a real honour for me to ride for the club and I'm really happy to have been given the chance.
"I'm sure there will be a lot a pressure, being from Swindon and being a local rider, because maybe there will be more attention on me and more pressure to perform.
"But I've always been the type of rider who does better when the pressure's on.
"Hopefully I can show that and it all goes well."
While Ritchings has yet to ride a competitive team meeting around the Abbey Stadium, he has competed in individual meetings and completed plenty if practice laps at his home track, meaning he is hopeful of feeling at home from the word go.
"I've ridden it enough so I know the way round," he said.
"I've always been a small track rider but the move to the Isle of Wight helps me a bit because I learned a lot there.
"Being in the pits with people like Troy (Batchelor) and Peter (Kildemand) is going to be an honour and I am sure I can learn a lot from them."

Polite and pleasant England is more terrifying than the bitchery and backstabbing of the fashion world, according to Giorgio Armani, who has spent 30 years weathering the latter.
As the Royal Academy of Arts in London made the final preparations for its extensive retrospective of the veteran designer's career, Armani described England as a "wolf's lair" during a preview tour of the exhibition. "The English are the most severe critics, particularly those in the fashion world," he said.
"But I hope this exhibition will introduce a younger generation to how my style has evolved."
It was an unusual acknowledgement from the enormously successful designer, who may have built up an impressive fashion empire but has not always won over the critics.
But the designer, looking as tanned and burnished as the day he launched his label in 1975, shrugged off criticism. With a sweeping gesture towards the 500 of his outfits on display at the gallery, he said: "I can't really complain. I mean, here I am."
Giorgio Armani: A Retrospective, which opens today, will be the first big exhibition at the Royal Academy's newly opened wing on Burlington Gardens.
This is the fourth stop on its worldwide tour. Questions have been raised about the venerable institution devoting such an enormous space to a fashion designer. The gallery is quick to dismiss the criticism.
"The academy was founded to promote art and design in all its form," said Norman Rosenthal, exhibitions secretary to the museum.
"We intend to celebrate all forms of design here, from fashion to architecture. Ultimately, art is in the eye of the beholder, so if you see it as art, it is art."
Armani was more circumspect. "It is a big question about whether fashion is art, and it's up to the public to decide," he said.
Perhaps even more than his suits, Armani is best known for his many celebrity fans. The exhibition acknowledges this by including designs worn by such diverse famous faces as Queen Rania of Jordan, British actress Rosamund Pike, and Debra Messing, star of the US sitcom, Will & Grace.

Farmers union: Ethanol blends should be labeled accurately at the pump
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is working on a label for ethanol blends at the pump. Minnesota Farmers Union is urging the FTC to use labels that are accurate, descriptive, and not harmful to the ethanol blends so that consumers who drive flex-fuel vehicles can have a real, home-grown, domestic fuel choice.
"Currently, the ethanol industry replaces 364 million barrels of imported oil each and every year," said Doug Peterson, Minnesota Farmers Union President. "A major study by the Windmill Group identifies 645,000 jobs created by ethanol, and $92 billion to our country's Gross Domestic Product."
A study by Yale University's Journal of Industrial Ecology states that grain ethanol has 59 percent fewer Greenhouse Gas Emissions when compared to conventional gasoline, and the use of ethanol reduces carbon emissions by 16.5 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Cellulosic ethanol, the second generation of renewable fuels, is 90 percent cleaner than gasoline, and with the current feed stock of biomass, there is enough biomass in the country to produce 85 billion gallons of cellulosic ethanol annually!
"The fact is - ethanol works - it makes us less dependent on foreign oil, contributes to this country's economy and is better for the environment, so lets help consumers choose cleaner, home-grown energy by putting a factual label on ethanol blend pumps," said Peterson.
Minnesota Farmers Union (www.mfu.org) is a nonprofit membership-based organization working to protect and enhance the economic interests and quality of life of family farmers and ranchers, as well as rural communities.

First Sunday sip "weeks away"
The date on which the first Sunday sales of alcohol becomes legal in Seneca is just a few weeks ago, in the estimation of city leaders. City Administrator Greg Dietterick told the mayor and council last night that all of the documents and other information must first go to the State Department of Revenue in Columbia. "Another two-three weeks," Dietterick said. According to Dietterick, about six out of every ten Seneca voters November 6 marked their ballot yes when it came to the question of Sunday sales.

Last Summer, HTC set a goal to deliver an Android Lollipop update to M7 and M8 owners in the US within 90 days of the operating system's release. Unfortunately, as Android Police points out, HTC will fall short of meeting that goal.
In a statement published to the HTC site, Mo Versi, HTC's Vice President of Product Management, is hard at work on the update, but that it'll fall short of its February 1 goal.
"If you've been following the progress of this rollout you will know that Google has had to address several issues with this release," Versi said in his statement. "We've been diligently working to fix some of them on our end and incorporating Google's fixes as quickly as possible, but despite everyone's best efforts some carrier versions of the HTC One (M8) and HTC One (M7) will not meet our 90 day goal."
Versi does note, however, that HTC has pushed out updates to the Google Play, Unlocked, and Developer Edition versions of the M8, but the US carrier updates will take a little more time.
The story behind the story: Android phone makers often customize the OS to fit their needs or to meet the needs of the carriers. While this makes Android extremely flexible and allows for a wide variety of devices, getting updates out to phones quickly remains a bit of a sore spot for Android. That companies are pushing themselves to deliver updates in a more timely manner is a promising development, but the lag time for updates will likely remain an issue.
Updates pending from Motorola, others
HTC isn't the only company that's still working on delivering a Lollipop update to its masses. In a blog post published Thursday, Motorola announced that Moto G owners in India and Brazil can now get Lollipop for their phones. For those of us stateside, Motorola also explained some of the intricacies involved in pushing out an update and directed customers to its software updates information page to find out when their phones will get Lollipop.
Meanwhile, Samsung is gradually releasing updates for its phones as well: PhoneArena reports that Galaxy S4 owners in Russia now have Lollipop. Meanwhile, SamMobile reports that Samsung has posted a Lollipop manual for the Galaxy Note 4, which suggests that an update shouldn't be too far behind.
Check with your phone's manufacturer to see if you too will get Android, and see Greenbot's Android Updates page for the latest on Lollipop's rollout.
This story, "HTC is running behind schedule with its M7 and M8 Lollipop update" was originally published by Greenbot.
