and so it begins...
After accepting the offer to play the game, you black out the moment you enter this new world... When you reopen your eyes, you see what horrors awaits you. A post-apocalyptic world is what now befalls you. Pieces of debris scattered everywhere from fallen buildings, the eradication of almost all living-things, deep scars running across the ground from massive earthquakes, and almost no signs of civilization—ah? What's this... a tattoo engraved onto your skin? What kind of sick game could this be? Someone most definitely be messing with you...!
「No, no. This is the game you, yourself, chose willingly to participate in. Now, run, before they catch you. Don't want you to be too fucked up before the real fun begins.」

A kurse is a game that kind of happens in a different dimension. In this game, you are given an objective. There are always different objectives and different rules for every kurse. [ Think of Xiaolin Showdown? ] If you complete the objective it means you completed a kurse. If you complete 100 kurses then you're granted a wish and can leave back to your world.
☪When a kursed game is happening, everything you were doing beforehand will be ceased
momentarily and you must interact within the game(but that depends on what kind of kurse it will be.)
☪If you decide to forfeit/ not participate, you will quietly stay out of the
way until the game is over before you resume posting.
☪When a kurse is happening, you will stop roleplaying your other character until the kurse is over.
This means, we will focus on only the characters involved in the current kurse.
☪Players have a tattoo located anywhere on their body to shows that they are part of the game
And the numbers are in order of whom registered first
Extra info: { Must know!! }

☪Everyone must have abilities. must have yo'!!!The air in this world is filled with radiation/radioactive shiz. so slowly everyone shows symptoms of strange powers and eventually they gain powers. if people already have powers then it doesn't affect them, the air just makes their powers stronger. Also-- when they go home or go somewhere where the air is more dense, their powers are gone.
☪The inhabitants of this new world, named Sylvia, are called Sylvians and they have dirty grey or silver hair with golden eyes due to generations of being exposed to radiation.
☪Blonde hair and blue eyes are treasured greatly by Sylvians.
☪Sylvia is a parallel version of you own, except thousands years in the future.
☪Pudello, still exists and continues functioning above the land. Inhabitants of the future Pudello aren't exposed to the radiation and therefore normal humans. Up here, your powers do not work.
☪There are two starting points: Pudello and Kursed Centre(on land). Players are assigned randomly where they start.
☪No matter how much you try you cannot die. You also stop aging here.
☪Time passes differently and randomly between Sylvia and your world. Sometimes 1 day can pass in your world, but it could be a year in Sylvia and vice-versa. Mostly it's random how time passes.

Mai (15 forever)
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Ethnicity: Sylvian
Personality: Basically a "tough" girl. Well, at least she tries to be. She finds it hard to open up and has a habit of twirling her hair when she's nervous. Mai is a spunky girl, but everything hits her in a matter-of-fact way. She struggles for acceptance and people she can truly trust.
History: She is the only Sylvian that somehow made it up to the floating man-made island. Apparently, she was treated as an outcast back in Sylvia and chose to escape up here... She doesn't want to impose on the normal and weaker humans of Pudello, so she takes on a lot of odd jobs and manual labour to make it easier on them. Her family whereabouts are unknown and so is much of her backstory of before joining the kursed game. She plays the game in hoping to escape this torturous world and go to a better one. That's her only wish.
Abilities: Being a Sylvian, she still maintains her enhanced strength, sight, and smell because it runs through her genes rather than gaining powers through the radiation in the air. Because she resides in Future Pudello, she does not contain any special powers though.
Extra: She had a bunch of brother and sisters whom also played the kursed game, but... they all vanished?
Appearance: White silverish hair with gleaming golden eyes. (Typical Sylvian appearance) Her hair is tied up in long pigtails.
Ruku (he has amnesia how would he know how old he is)
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Ethnicity: ??
Personality: As the rp goes on, his personality develops and his judgement of what is wrong and what is right. At the moment he is like a newborn baby that was settled into the world with no one to guide him. What kind of person he becomes depends on the friends that influence him and that events that he experiences.
History: amnesia
Abilities: ?
Extra: Mai is his first friend.
Appearance:Black short hair at the back and long side bangs at the front.
Haku Kiiro(18)
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Ethnicity: Half-Japanese
Personality: He's kind of two-faced, but in a way that is clever and benefits him. He's not afraid to kiss up to people if it means getting what he wants. If he's show you even the bit of kindness, it's probably because he has plans for you and you have potential in helping him in the near future or possibly even owing him. Many thinks he only cares about himself and doesn't give a damn about the people he steps on to get to the top, but is that really true? It may not seem like it, but family is important to him.
History: Haku originally lived in London with his mother and grandparents. He had no father he had known of and lived his life simply... Until his house was burnt down mysteriously. He was 8 years old at the time. Confused and alone, he was about to be sent to live with his relatives overseas, but that was when his father appeared before him. Haku believes he owes his father a great deal of his life and will do anything to repay him, even if that means running their Yakuza clan and going against his real interests. In the end, Nura came back and dismissed him as the next heir so that he can chase after his dreams.
Abilities: Unknown for now
Appearance:Blonde hair boy tied up in a high and tiny pony-tail.
Nura Kiiro(19)
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Ethnicity: Japanese
Personality: Nura's a guy that will do anything to protect the one he loves. He fights for what's right and for what he believes in. To him, if you have the power to make a difference, why not put it to use and defend mankind! Besides his strong sense of justice, he's a total dork! He has a huge weak spot for sweets and anything cute, often fanboying about it. He gets embarrassed easily and tries to hide it by just dismissing it or saying the complete opposite of what he's thinking. When he acts like that, it's mostly because he's talking to the girl he loves and doesn't want her to know (;
History: Nura's always been an only child and the sole heir to the Kiiro clan but he never wanted to succeed it. He was happy to meet Haku and they grew close as the years went by. A girl they both liked started to form a crack in their newly formed bond. The girl ultimately picked Haku though. Nura was sadden not by just the fact that she picked him, but by Haku for manipulating her. Hemade up the decision to run away and join the organization to make a world a better place, but leaving Haku to be the heir of the family. In the end, Nura came back and dismissed him as the next heir so that he can chase after his dreams.
Abilities: Nullification, abilities to see ghost, special combat training from the Organization.
Appearance: Short messy orange hair that he inherited from his mother. Eye patch on his left eye.
Lilian McNeil(18)
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Ethnicity: A mix of French, British, and Irish.
Personality: Sweet, innocent, mature, and sophisticated girl until she SUPER SAIYANS INTO A YANDERE STALKER.
History: Apparently she fell in love with Haku at first sight in middle school. She stalks him like there's no tomorrow and will get rid of anything or anyone in her way. She played this game because after hearing Haku mysteriously disappeared, she thought she couldn't live anymore and tried to kill herself. It was then that the mysterious ghostly figure offered her the chance to play the kursed game. She is the rich daughter of one of the big shots board members of Pudello... but behind all that... is there something more to her?
Abilities: Unknown for now.
Extra: She likes to be called Lily.

Place holder descriptions woooo~
Name: Tsutomu Sakamoto
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Age: 15
Ethnicity: Japanese
Personality: He's typically a happy-go-lucky, go with the flow, playful, devilish and teasing guy who's all smiles and doesn't take anything seriously whatsoever. However, this is just his 'nice guy' facade that he uses in front of everyone with his true personality locked up deep within him that only comes out on rare occasions. Truthfully, he's extremely pessimistic and has an overall negative outlook on everyone and everything. He's a sadist that only knows how to associate himself with pain in addition to being extremely blunt, opinionated, and stubborn.
He's smart enough to know what is right or wrong but purposely chooses the choice that is most interesting to him. He's always doing things like this, making decisions on whim and testing things out via trial and error. To him, knowledge and exercising his freedom (and Hotaru) are the most important things to him. He just wants to live like the way that he wants to live it, now that he can. And he's going to have fun with it too.
History: Excluding his past 'past' when he was alive, he basically did whatever he felt like when he was a ghost. It was when he met Hotaru that everything began to center around her. It is because 'she' is the one thing that belongs to him, everything is now centered to keep it that way. He 'dies' again while trying to save her in Limbus.
Abilities: The ability to tap into someone's subconscious upon eye contact and create an illusion of pain. This power causes him to lose his ability to see after each use, however.
Extra: Shouldn't be trusted, his whole personality and mindset is just a train-wreck and he knows it but it wouldn't be fun if he just played the good guy.
Despite himself throwing the words around, he truthfully really does miss Hotaru. A lot. Much more than he's willing to show.
Appearance: A cutie with really creepy eyes.
Name: Azuki Murakami
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Age: 19
Ethnicity: Japanese with British
Personality: A pure-hearted girl with a simple (but empty) head. Rather than thinking things through most of the time, she reacts through emotion and instinct showing she has a bigger heart than her brain. This leads her to be very gullible and easily deceived by others unless the trick itself is painfully obvious.
She took in some of Hatsu's ideals, giving her a big sense of 'justice' so she's always trying to help people and do what's 'right' despite needing some help along the way most of the time. She's not very good at independent thinking (due to being sheltered most of her life by her brother) so she always references someone else by saying 'my brother said this' or 'my sister said that'. She's only trying to follow the good examples set in front of her so she could be a good example to others too.
Speaking of thinking, her mind can go off to some very odd things, whether it's interpreting a message or situation completely the wrong way and reacting oddly or getting shipping feels from seeing two people together. Whatever it is, Azuki is always living in her own little world.
However in the end, she cares about her friends greatly. She was never the one to have close friends, so the closer you are to Azuki, the more important you become to her (aka Hatsu fanclub). Hurting or threatening her friends will anger her greatly.
History: After SS Club, she took over the role of Student Council President in honor and memory of Hatsu and promised to live her life to the fullest for her. It isn't much, but she's living her life just fine, spending time with the friends she made thanks to Hatsu.
After high school, she graduated to attend a good university with the help of her friends and siblings who helped her study. She's currently undecided for what she wants to major in since she still hasn't found out what she wants to do with her life, but all she knows right now is that she wants to treasure the people close to her. Rather than a job, maybe the best thing for her to do for the rest of her life is to become a beautiful bride and loving housewife--
Abilities: Water manipulation, the ability to see ghosts/angels/demons, super fighting skills from The Organization.
Extra: Her inspiration for shipping people and over imagination came from reading too much manga. Even her inspiration for 'justice' and 'friendship' could be argued to have partly be influenced by reading manga too. Reading manga and watching anime was one of the things she really enjoys doing so she often incorporates that into her decision making. Doesn't help in the Kursed Game when the word 'main character gets thrown around. She is an otaku after all.
In terms with one of her most closest friends... she is oblivious to his feelings and it's taking all of Zukquisha's strength to not spill it out after enduring seeing the two for three years now. For her own feelings though... she knows something is different but doesn't know what. Since she's more of a feeling person than a thinking, whenever he touches her, she can feel the difference between him and other people. If she wants to go beyond that she'll need a little... push.
Appearance: Long blond hair that reaches past her shoulders and red-rimmed glasses with a small bow on the side. Blue eyes. She also has big boobs.
Name: Ethan Brady
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Age: 16
Ethnicity: Sylvian
Personality: After years of being put down by the people around him, he developed a very pessimistic personality. He hates himself more than anything and will put everyone else above him in a pedestal. He is constantly thinking about how much of a horrible person he is, he just completely lost all hope for himself. He doesn't even have anything that he finds enjoyable or makes him happy because his mind just automatically turns it around as a way to put him down.
He has depression. Not only is he physically weak, he's mentally and emotionally weak. He's not smart or good at decision-making. He jumps to conclusions too easily and can get emotional over just a simple comment.
He has high social anxiety and can't handle being with others at all. It literally physically drains him and it's obvious to see. He's scared of people because he knows what they think about him.
History: He was born physically weaker than others and has more feminine tendencies (mostly being emotionally more fragile). This made him target to bullying from his peers all his life. Even his parents constantly questioned why he didn't fit more traditional 'male' stereotypes and chastised him for it. It went to the point where he couldn't go to school anymore and he just stayed home, despite his parents disapproval. He became so depressed that he asked for an escape and played the Kursed Game to do so.
Abilities: I don't knowwwwww
Extra: He has a crush on Azuki because she's a goddess.
Appearance: Wooooo

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Age: 17
Ethnicity: Half-Japanese, Half-Russian.
Personality: She tends to be hard-working and dedicated to any goal she set towards. But, she has lots of high expectations of herself and she is highly ambitious and this tends to work against her whenever she fails. She never gives up, though. She has a short fuse, and is very protective of her family (especially her younger brother). And it may seem that she doesn't know how to laugh or fool around-- she does, but doesn't do it often.
History: She grew up with a poor family, and has a younger brother. Her mother died giving birth to her younger brother at the age of five, and she worked under the table while going to school to help her father pay for their house and food to support the family in Pudello. She continued this for multiple years, developing her hard-working principles.
Abilities: Has the ability to siphon fire from her own body and turn into a dragon. But, she lacks proper control of her ability. (Only with the radiation present.)
Extra: Older sister of Yuu.
Appearance: Straight long red hair, yellow-ish eyes. She has tannish skin with a good complexion. She is generally fit with a four pack, and is 5'10" and weighs about 138 lbs. On the other hand, her dragon form is 50 feet tall, with red scales and black ridges going all down the spine, as well as orange irises and scleras with pupils as slits. The form has two legs, wings also used for flying but as well as crawling.
Yuu Lavrenti
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Age: 12
Ethnicity: Half-Japanese, Half-Russian
Personality: Is naive and childlike, as parallel to his age. Really enjoys to have fun, and loves his sister the most out of anyone else. He is attached to his sister, but seeks protection from her very often because he is used to being spoiled by his sister. He generally treats people kindly, but if he sees a chance he is open to manipulation of others to get favors and other things out of them. He's devious, but has good personal intentions.
History: He was born as his mother died of illness. He is also a pre-mature child, and is frail compare to most boys of his age. He was pampered by his father and sister, but is working towards his education instead. He lives in Pudello, with his sister and father.
Abilities: Can turn into a poisonous haze. (With radiation present.)
Extra: Younger brother of Yui.
Appearance: 4'11" tall, and is 98 lbs. He has reddish-brown hair, and yellow-ish eyes like his sister. He is quite pale, and is lanky.
Alyse Brielle
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Age: 19
Ethnicity: Sylvian
Personality: Is very over-confident, but with the skill prowess to back it up. She pokes fun at others whenever a chance arises, enjoys the idea of having fun. She is very competitive, and loves challenging others. She considers fighting as a joy, and is rarely ever serious. She tends to not to be too trusting of others ever since the incident of her mother, and doesn't try to get to close to anyone.
History: She was born in Sylvia, and was born with a loving mother and father. Her mother had eventually fallen into a dementia from the radiation itself, and in a fit of rage scooped out her eyes at the age of 8. Her father killed her mother after both eyes were already scooped out, she was taken to the nearest emergency care in the town and "met death at the cliff-edge". Of course lacking the technology to properly fix her eyes, both empty sockets were filled with singular glass eyes. Since then, she covered her eyes with a blindfold to hide her eyes from people who feared her for them, and to remember the betrayal from her mother.
She had continued on to heighten her senses, the radiation graciously helping her doing so, and practiced techniques of martial arts from an old man who was a martial arts teacher (who eventually died) in an attempt to learn every self-defense possible. Determined to survive, in case anything like the incident with her mother were to happen again.
Abilities: Heightened senses, can feel sound waves, waves of energy from the ground, and gained her ability to sense the auras of others at the loss of her eyes. She is much stronger than the average human, and moves much faster than most humans and can move at the speed of lightning. (But she is generally unable to, due to the amount of pressure that her body cannot handle from such speeds makes it too dangerous for her.)
Extra: Is blind. Her eyes were replaced with glass eyes.
Appearance: 5'6", weighs 114 lbs. She has long, braided black hair. Her glass eyes are covered by violet silk blindfold, and is only a bit tanned. She is fit, and has a six pack.
David Tore
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Age: 20
Ethnicity: Half-Italian, Half-Scottish.
Personality: He tends to make people uncomfortable, poke fun at others, rebels against all established social norms, and breaks rules all the time. He constantly loves to call himself trash, and takes the insult for pride, being called it so often by his parents it never matters to him anymore. He is not a spoiled brat, with the consideration that his parents are more than just disappointed in his abilities, and the fact that he doesn't want to become a businessman or office-worker like his parents and finds such jobs as boring. He's very confident in his physical capabilities, and is quite competitive. But, as he calls himself trash a lot-- he truly believes that he is such to the point where it leads him laugh at any insult and claiming such to be true. He feigns self-confidence, and lacks true self-confidence.
History: His parents moved to Pudello, his father being a rich business worker and his mother as a secretary. His parents had always tried to instill adult and aristocratic values into him, and to appreciate and work to keep himself to be rich. As this being an insult to his personal freedom, he began to rebel in his own ways. Running out of the house, doing drugs-- literally anything he could do for his parents to look at him like a terrible son out of detest and hatred of his own parents.
Abilities: Has the ability to turn invisible, and also has superhuman capabilities. His legs are incredibly strong, giving him the ability to jump really high and he is also incredibly and naturally flexible. (With radiation present.)
Extra: He lives in Pudello, and taught himself how to fight, and fights very dirty.
Appearance: 6'1", and 119 lbs. He has short blond hair, bangs side swept to the right and has blue eyes. He's a bit tanned, and is generally lanky and lean. He has muscle that is visible in his arms, but most muscle is seen in his legs. He has no abs.

In Their Own Words
May 16, 1863
Civil War Soldiers Recalled Stonewall Jackson
A Georgia soldier writing home to his wife told her of the death of Stonewall Jackson; it turned out he was near the accident.
"…You no doubt before this time have heard of the death of our brave and beloved General Stonewall Jackson. We gained a glorious and brilliant victory but his death has cast a gloom over that brilliancy that cannot be easily erased. I was near him when he as killed but did not know it at the time. He was shot on Saturday night, by his own men, … He and his staff were galloping near them and they thought it was the Yankee cavalry and fired. …"
Source: Jeffrey C. Lowe and Sam Hodges (eds.), Letters to Amanda: The Civil War Letters of Marion Hill Fitzpatrick, Army of Northern Virginia (Macon: Mercer University Press, 1998), pp. 69-70.
Another Georgia soldier writing to his brother told of their recovery from battle, then also added his account of Stonewall Jackson, which included a recent personal sighting.
"…In truth, what we underwent during the eight days that we were in the field was enough to have jaded us. The sudden change of the weather to extreme heat was surely felt by us and the heavy rains which occurred fell mostly at night and thus broke our rest, besides our minds were worn out, having been a long time kept in constant expectation of an attack. But from all this fatigue we have recovered happily, and, although our numbers are a little diminished, still the spirits of our men are good, their self-reliance even stronger than before. Our great loss by this exposure has been General Jackson. Although his wounds were severe, I believe it is thought they did not much, if at all, precipitate his end. His forceful constitution was destroyed by an attack of pneumonia. On the morning of the 29th ultimo, when we first formed in line of battle, he rode along our line, and long before his arrival we knew of his approach by the loud cheering (he was the only one of our generals whom the troops ever cheered). It was his custom on such occasions to ride in a gallop with his head uncovered. He sat his horse perfectly erect and showed himself an excellent horseman. I heard it remarked, and I perceived myself, that morning that he was unusually pale. I suspect he was not well at that very time. …"

As the 1997 Nurse in Washington Intern for SOHN, I was awed by the quality and quantity of information and experiences shared during the workshop. The three major concerns in healthcare policy on Capitol Hill are cost, quality, and access. Healthcare costs have escalated at tremendous speed, bypassing the growth of the Gross Domestic Product. Medicare is projected to go broke by 2007. The United States population is aging rapidly. The Federal Government must make changes to Medicare and Medicaid legislation or the U.S. Treasury may be consumed. As costs are cut, quality and access must be ensured. These are years of rapid change in healthcare. Nurses face many challenges and have many opportunities to participate in and influence the formation of healthcare policy. Nurses must be armed with information about key players, the processes, and what nursing can contribute to the healthcare system. We need to step up to the plate; we need to be part of the solution.

Italian man sets Guinness World Record for most scoops of ice cream on single cone
An Italian man has set a new Guinness World Record for putting the most scoops of ice cream on a single cone.
Dimitri Panciera completed the cool feat at Gelatimo ice-cream festival in Forno di Zoldo, Italy, scooping a staggering 121 mini mounds of gelato into a regular sized cone.
Guinness documented the entire scooping process.
Per Guinness rules, the cone couldn't be any wider than 3.74 inches and the scoops needed to remain balanced for 10 seconds or more—which wasn't a problem for Panciera's stack as he carried his cone outside and casually licked the confection after piling on the scoops.
So what's the trick to creating such a gigantic gelato?
Panciera credits the quality of the local artisanal gelato for making the record possible—but he's had some practice in the realm of the over-the-top treats.
He held the previous record for most scoops on a single cone—109. And he also created the world's largest ice-cream scoop, which measures 6 feet and 4.7 inches long, 1 foot and 10.8 inches wide and 6.6 inches deep.

Modify Eligibility for School Transportation Rebates in Alberta Bill 1
0 have signed. Let's get to 500!
Part of my school routine is to take the school bus to and from school. Most years, my parents would tell me near the end of August where my stop is and what time I need to be there. This year, the changes came as a shock to me. Around the beginning of June, my parents started to bring up transportation issues, but this time, it was not about a 10-minute change or a move to another block. It was hard on: "Go take the public transit next year… and pay an extra $365!" I don't like getting hit in the face with a board, which is why I'm here to change something!
Bill 1 has benefits in many aspects of schooling. In brief, school buses are free if the student is attending their designated school and is 2.4 KM away from the school. Public transit would be $151 if it is to be taken. In alternate programs, school buses are $335 and Public transit would be $700. The legal definition of "schools of choice" or alternate programs is: Schools or programs of choice are schools that are chosen because of a particular program being offered. Therefore language, cultural, sports, IB, AP, etc schools are programs of choice and are NOT GIVEN REBATES! Please refer to the following chart for more information.
(Change.org doesn't support tables, please use the following link)
Due to the rebates, operating costs are increased for transportation, school boards are cutting bus lines to balance the cost of operation. In Calgary, French immersion schools are having their school buses cut, and students will be forced to take public transit in the upcoming school year. Since these students are choosing to take French immersion, NO GOVERNMENT REBATES ARE GIVEN. But instead, they are forced to take transit for $700 a year instead of taking the bus for only $335; This is a 109% increase from the previous year. Development of such Bill could have created a lopsided education system.
As the federal government encourages school boards to implement French programs, there is a conflict occurring in some school boards. French is one of Canada's official languages, but not all provinces are bilingual. Alberta's provincial laws still state that French immersion schools are "schools of choice", many school boards have now stayed away from such definition because of the bilingual nature in our country. Currently, as the 2017-18 school year creeps closer, Bill 1 uses this outdated definition for schools of choice when French and English should be treated the same. Bill 1 might have been created too hastily.
For students like me, having our bus line cut, and not getting rebates for taking public transit is a financial burden to families. As I have stated before, Bill 1's intention is to reduce the cost of schooling, but they are doing it on the backs of a feud. We are left in the cracks. When other regular program students are having their bus lines cut, they are given rebated public transit passes, but we are left with added costs. This is not fair.
So am I alone? The CBE has given me some hard numbers. 6050 students in alternate programs are being assigned to public transit with a $700 bill. Are we all happy about this price hike? Are we happy about not getting rebates? NO! These numbers are only for Calgary, what about Edmonton, Lethbridge, Red Deer? This number can grow a lot higher and we need support to make it easier for parents to pay for their children's education.
What do we want the government to do?
1. Change Bill 1: Work on the epicenter of the problem, this is the bill that brought on the problem. Make it so that most students are included for transportation rebates. Changing the clause for transportation, where alternate programs are included. This would be a minor change.
2. Redefine schools of choice: If for some reasons the government will not alter Bill 1, then why not incorporate the importance of language programs? Especially French; some students may be discouraged to take French immersion because of the price hikes!
This small change of a law may have an extensive impact on students and families across the province. Some choose to take alternate programs for many reasons: more extensive learning, learning a new language, etc. Adding your name to this petition can help improve this situation.

Pronounced safrouch like "couch" with a "suh" in front of it and a "fr" in it's middle. "suhfrouch". Short for Saunter-Frolic-Crouch.
Ariel Johnson and I decided that we needed to go for a jog today. When she arrived at our meeting point I was sitting on the sidewalk, leaning against a lightpost with my feet stretched straight out in front of me. I think I might actually have fallen slightly asleep. Needless to say our jog rapidly devolved into a saunter.
So we sauntered along, talking about women's rights vs feminism and how annoying male-bashing is. We decided to walk around Beaver Lake (it's about a mile from my house and the road has no shoulder, just trees and the occasional ditch). Right in the middle of a sentence I heard a car and screeched out "ARIEL CROUCH!" while simultaneously leaping straight up and sideways like a mountain goat. I landed behind a glacially deposited boulder that is literally big enough to crush a semi truck. As the car drove by I looked at Ariel, kneeling in the pine needles and we both grinned at each other. (Let me point out at this juncture that Ariel is almost seventeen and I am most definitly twenty years old. Just picture it.)
We resumed our walk with all the calm dignity of our many years. That is, until ANOTHER car came by. I paniced and dashed up into the clear space by the road going "frolic! Quickly!" Ariel dissolved into hopeless giggles and goes "I'm so glad you frolic with hands outstretched. It's the only proper way to frolic."
I'm not making this stuff up, folks.
To top it off we wandered through the pathless meadow/woodland for about ten minutes. We passed a bush that has super long reed-like leaves. Pulling a few we wandered on, gesturing grandly with our weeds. I felt like Edwardfoliagehands. Eventually the reeds started to get bent at the ends. Ariel puts hers up on either side of her head, looks at me with deadly calm and says "A bug's life". I place mine up with equal gravity and say "Star Trek. Meep meep beepy bleep".
This was my day.

Recently I switched ISPs to Qwest, after switching I noticed a severe lag in my wireless internet feed to my PC. I was able to connect to my network and access my internets as I pleased. Recently after that my mum had her laptop's wireless card fritz out. She called a gent from Geek Squad to come out and he re-worked the wireless set-up and updated the firmware for our router and everything. He was unable to get to my computer in time to set me into the network and as usual with them, their directions on how I am to set it up were forgotten and then never written down.
So, that night when I went to access my network it did not show up in the list of available networks. My wireless card is 2 weeks old and works fine, it's just a matter of integrating myself into the network. Any help would be very much appreciated.
I recommend downloading and running DAP. It can help sort out any driver and firmware related issues on your system
It's worked out well for many of us in the past.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloaddap.org. (This link will open the download page of DAP so you can save a copy to your computer.)
Well first off, don't go to Geek Squad, they seriously don't know anything.
OKay and 2nd, I need more info, what is the wireless router model, what kind of secruity, what is your new ISP and if it comes down to anything, you may have to install a new update onto your ISP or for your router. My mother had the same problem when she got her new Vista laptop.
computer was online and then lost connection.
i'm using a dell inspiron 8600, sp3. i've never had problems accessing the internet until a few weeks ago when i moved. i was slated to join in on my roommmates network, but for some reason I cannot connect. Or more precisely, I connect for about 2 seconds, and I'm immediately bumped off. My roommates tried to fix it, but in vain. the signal is coming in strong on my computer, so I'm not sure what the issue is. any help is definitely welcomed.

I am hoping that someone can help me.
We have three computers at home two which are connected to router and working fine and my laptop.
My laptop was connecting to my home wireless network until my daughter used it last. Now it will not connect at all
I used to have to follow the steps below for some reason and then it would connect fine:
Wireless network connections
Change advanced settings
Wireless Networks tab
I would have to tick the checkbox USE WINDOWS TO CONFIGURE MY WIRELESS NETWORK SETTINGS
Then into properties for my wireless network and in association retype my password and then it would connect. (it seemed like to much work every time but it still worked)
There was other networks in the list which i deleted and wireless network connection shows that the network connection strength is excellent but it just seems to get stuck aquiring the network address. I have tried repair etc.
Can someone please help me with this as maybe it's just something simple!!

I wonder if anyone can help. We recently installed a new wireless router, and all the other computers in our house can access the internet. But for some reason I can only connect to the network, even though it says there's full connectivity.
I called the customer careline for our internet providers, and they said it was a problem with my computer settings, rather than the router. But they said they couldn't advise me any further unless I paid for it, hence my need to look for advice elsewhere....

I need real help. I had cable internet 12mbs installed last September (2010) in my one bedroom apartment. Before that, I was connecting to a spotty 1.5mbs network that was open next door (with their permission). I was able to obtain fast and efficient internet access for about 3 or 4 months and then it became intermittent. For the past 2 months I have been unable to connect through my home cable modem/router at all. I have been to the cable company and they have tested the cable modem/router and the signal which comes into the router and out at fast speeds. I have been to the place where I bought my laptop (purchased at Staples last summer). Others can connect though my wifi, but I cannot. It connects but gives me a DNS error. It doesn't matter whether I am hard wired or on wifi.
I am running:
Win 7 Home Premium (64bit) on a compaq CQ62-225NR Notebook with a Vision AMD Athlon II P320 Dual-Core processor.2.10 ghz with 3.00 GB ram (2.74 GB usable)
It contains an Atheros AR9285 802.11 b/g/n WiFi adapter
Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller
Realtek High Definition Audio

hard drive: Hitachi HTS725032A9A364 SATA Disk Device

Connect the system to your network and then
please get a command prompt (Start->RUN->CMD) and enter ipconfig /all >myTcp.txt

I've got a laptop that cannot connect to network anymore, both wireless and fixed. when it tries to connect to the network, it sets an ip address in the range of 169.254.0.0 -169.254.255.255
further more, i saw that the HP Wireless Assistant starts all by itself after a few minutes that I start the laptop, although the wireless adapter is disabled.
now, i keep the computer completely disconnected from the network trying to figure out what is it to be done.

As a total beginner at connecting to a network via wifi i could use some info to get me connected.
I have found the correct network at my flat which is used by all other people in the property.

I have set up a small network in my office - the computers included all use the same Workgroup Name = WORKGROUP. We use a combination of Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. I just set up the newest Windows 7 Professional pc and I am getting the following error when trying to access:
\\FISCHER-PC is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
Logon Failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
I am setup on all PC's as an Administrator. I have confirmed that the Workgroup Name matches. I can see the PC when I "view devices on the network". I can't seem to even gain access to the computer to see if I can access the folders I've shared.
I followed the same procedures with a PC running Windows 7 and have had no issue getting access to the computer.

On-Board NIC
Let me run down the spiel of this network saga:
Power surge happened Sunday afternoon. Sunday morning, I was connected fine. The orange light on the NIC shows it's on, but no connectivity. I have Comcast. Comcast modem is showing 4 lights - Power, Receive, Send, and Online. There is also a PC/Activity Light. That is suppose to show orange and nothing is blinking there. I also have a wireless network setup. The wireless router is responding and it seems to be getting activity from the LAN. I have a laptop that is setup wireless, but it won't connect to the internet since my modem doesn't have LAN activity.
I was on the phone w/ Comcast trying to figure this out. Replaced out network cables, reset modem numerous times, reset PC numerous times, hard-wired modem to the PC, hard-wired modem to my laptop with LAN enabled, still nothing. Comcast said to replace out modem. Replaced it out and still no connectivity. Brought my PC up to work to determine if it's a bad NIC or not. I had a live connection and I notice the orange light on my NIC is still on with or without any ethernet cable. Powered the PC on and still no connectivity. Uninstalled NIC and the PC detected the NIC. Still no connection. Checked in BIOS to see if on-board LAN is on and it is on. Reset BIOS and still no connectivity. Any other suggestions or bad NIC?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I moved your threat to the Networking Forum. Has this pc ever connected to your home network before?
Lets take a peek at your network environment:
Power Cycle everything . . Turn off the Modem, router and all pc's . . turn on the Modem and wait a few minutes for the lights to stabilize . . then turn on the router, then one pc at a time. See if you connect to the internet.
Remove all the stored wireless network profiles and search for the network again.
How to Remove Stored Wireless Network Profiles for XP, Vista, and Windows 7
Then: check your browser's settings, remove any proxy settings if found here's how.

Since recently I am no longer able to connect to my router from one of my laptops. The connection is failing wireless as well as by cable. My other two laptops are having no problem at all so I think it is a problem with the laptop.
I check other posts and found I could do a TCP/IP reset so I have done that.
If have executed these commands on a elevated command line:
- netsh winsock reset catalog
- netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
- netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
I have restared the laptop afterwards but the problem remains: I am unable to connect to the router.
This is the output of the "ipconfig /all" command (command is ran while I've had only the adapter with the cable enabled, wireless adapter was disabled):

I have been trying to connect to my university's network, but I am unable. I USED to be able, but now something changed and I can't. I am pretty sure that my Ethernet card is working properly, since when I plug in the cord I get a blinking green light, and it says that the driver is installed and working properly. Plus, when I run IPCONFIG, it gives me an IP Address and Subnet Mask. However, it does NOT give me either a Connection-Specific DNS Suffix nor a Default Gateway. I checked, and I am pretty sure that I have no firewalls (including the built-on XP one) running. Any idea why I can get an IP address and not connect to the network? My computer is registered with the university, and I used to be able to get online.
Thank you!!!!
Can you connect to any other site on the Internet? If you can the problem is probably not with your side of the connection.
I've been trying to help a friend fix her computer. I seem to be stuck and can't figure it out.
I scanned it with AVG and the only infection that shows up is Trojan horse BackDoor.Generic14.BZSZ. I also scanned with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and quite a bit more infected files showed up. It crashes whenever I try to repair anything. The computer is running Windows 7 32bit. The only obvious symptoms I can see is it's not able to connect to any network.
Any help would be appreciated!

I've just installed a new modem as a result of upgrading by broadband and my windows 8 PC won't connect. I've googled and followed almost every tip
ipconfig /release
ipconfig / renew
ipconfig /release6
ipconfig / renew6
ipconfig /flushdns
plus whatever else is out there. Every other device worked a treat except my desktop on windows 8.
When I try and do a ipconfig /renew it goes away and eventually comes back saying it could not find the DHCP server, what am I missing???
help please

I have a Dell Demension L733r with a Linksys Compact Wireless-G USB Adaptor. When I start the computer, it connects to the wireless network immediately. As I go through the day, all of a sudden I start getting "Unable to Connect to Wireless Network". I click on the popup and then click on repair. It goes through it's procedures and eventually reconnects the network. Sometimes it says "Connection Very Good" other times "Low" or even "Very Low". Several minutes later, it will do the same thing again and I go through the same procedure again. This might happen several more times then it will be okay. There are days where it never happens at all and then there are days where it happens every 10 minutes or so. It also seems to happen more at night for some reason. How can I eliminate this problem?
Please attach a screen shot of the Networks page (don't collapse the Radar, Connection or Signal History) of the Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector. If you need help with that see TSG Posting a Screenshot.

Good day!So, this laptop always connected to a LAN cable, and we've rarely brought it away. We're rarely connected to the internet via wireless router, since I don't bring it much. In instances like that 2 years ago, we can connect it seamlessly. But lately, I've been bringing it to school, and it cannot connect by wifi to any router or hotspot.I tried the suggestions from HP Support, like the modifications done in device manager, installing an updated driver for the wireless adapter, restoring the BIOS to its default setup, and others. Still, I can't connect to the wireless networks.Any suggestions?PS: The wireless network adapter in this laptop is a 'Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi AdapterRead other answers

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum so please forgive me if this question has been asked and answered before-i'm not "techy" so I don't really know all the correct terms to do a search by.
I have a "new to me" laptop. Its a Dell Inspirion 9300. I am unable to log on to the wireless network. I see that there's an excellent connection and my computer is telling me that I am connected but when I try to access the internet, via Chrome, I get nada. I get a message telling me that the DNS look up failed, I'm using Windows XP, have Norton Internet Security and am using the Wise 365 Registry Cleaner (it was acting funky before I downloaded the registry cleaner). Is there anything else I need to include? I know the computer's old, but I never had a problem accessing the internet before.
Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody,
My windows 7 connection has always been able to conenct to the internet through any type of connection wifi or with wire.
But this time - i am in another country, Colombia - and the computer can only get connected to the network but i don't have the rest of the connection: no internet at all.
Even if I directly connect the ethernet cable to my computer it doesn't work...
Any idea to resolve that ?
Cheers everybody !
Hi tessiermaurice welcome to the forums.
Couple of questions to help us troubleshoot:
1. Are there any other machines on the network? If so do they have an Internet connection?
2. Is it on ALL networks, or one network in particular?
3. If on one network in particular, how is the network set up? is it a router or a modem?
4. Please open command prompt and type "ipconfig /all" and post the results back.
Also, please fill out your System Specs it will help us enormously, both now and for future problems.
Recently purchased asus 1005 ha netbook.The problem is that windows says it is not able to connect to network.I think that I put in the wrong security key for my router.My question is how do I go back and change the key.

Hello all,
I have recently formatted my laptop because it didn't work properly anymore.
Now that it's working again, I find myself unable to connect to my wireless network.
I believe I should only have to enter my SSID code and network key while trying to access my connection.
This doesn't work.
When I try to repair the connection it hangs at connecting to wireless network.
Anybody have an idea what's wrong?
Thanks in advance
Did you install the wireless adapter drivers?
Look in device manager to see if there are any Yellow Marks indicating missing drivers.
You should be able to get your drivers from the maker of the laptop.
does limewire havea reputation for messing with lan or
registry settings.?? if so how can this problem be resolved without redoing p.c.
im on lan and cant connect to the web but i can ping.

Hi All,
My friend has Windows Vista and a couple of days ago he was unable to connect to a wireless network.
He has a HP laptop. The "Blue wireless light" comes on (at the front of the PC). Windows can't start the wireless service and the HP connects to the broadcom wifi thing but doesn't find any networks.
Any ideas?
I am also trying to create a "Recovery CD" from the HP built in CD creator. However, the Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-851S ATA Device (in Device Manager) has an exclamation mark right next to it.. meaning it will not work!
I have tried "uninstalling" and "reinstalling" but with no luck. I think that if I could create these CDs, I could recover the system and get the internet working again.

Okay, so here's the status. I can't connect to my network at all. There are no connections listed in the Network Connections menu in the Control Panel. The ipconfig /all results in the message 'Internal error. The request is not supported'. In the Device Manager, all the network adapter components are listed (mainly the Marvell Yukon controller), however they all have exclamation marks next to them. When checking their status they give the message 'Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)'.
I've tried reinstalling the controller drivers, as well as uninstalling the controller completely and reinstalling it.
I've also tried a few solutions (mainly from this site, actually), including the regsvr32 netshell.dll/netcfgx.dll/netman.dll commands in the cmd menu, as well as resetting tcp/ip using the netshell command.
I'm at an utter loss.
Tomorrow, I intend to open up the computer and take a look at the controller.
In the meantime, anyone have any other ideas.
Any help will be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Okay, opened her up, found that the NIC is integrated so I can't replace it or remove it. Searched the Acer site (PC's an E560) for any other controller drivers, but ended up with the same ones that won't work.
I am now completely stumped.
Hi I have broadband connection and was connecting to the internet using the wireless network. All of a sudden I am unable to connect to it. On the control panel "Manage wireless network" I can view my network but not in the network sharing centre.
Do you have other devices that can connect to your wireless ??
try this
Run Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector
Download and install
If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to copy the program across to the faulty PC
Save the file to a USB flash drive or other removable media. Plug it into the working computer with internet access and copy the file and install the program.
You will now need to take a screen shot and copy that back to the working PC and attach the screen shot in a reply on the forum here.
If you do not have another PC - do you have a phone connected to the internet - can you photograph the result and post the image in a reply

I have taken the tablet over to StarBucks and was able to connect to their wireless network easily.
Of course Acer is no help. Since it came with Windows 7, that is the only support they can offer.
I have an Atheros AR9002WB-1NG wireless adapter. I have tried to install the Win7 drivers and it will not allow the installation to run. I can see all the wireless SSID around me, including my Guest network.

Switch off your router, leave it for 10mins or something, try connecting again. First try without the Athros adapter.

I am using Acer aspire 5749Z laptop with windows 7, 32 for four years. I have installed Qualcomm Atheros AR5B125 Wireless network adapter (downloaded from Acer official website for windows 7 32 bit operating system).

I run windows troubleshooting and the resulting window showed a message "Problem with network adapter or access point".

Sometime wireless network connects but after few minutes it disconnects. Also the wireless network disconnects if my router is in one room and I use the laptop from another room.

Win7 install went perfect. Loving it so far.
Came home and hooked up to wireless network. I can see my server and the 5 shared folders available. But I am unable to connect to any of them. Each time it says
"Windows cannot access \\server\storage"
"You do not have permission to access \\server.....
Any ideas?
FYI Yes I have network discovery on etc etc. These ARE password protected folders, but it's not even prompting me for a user/pass. When I attempt to Create a network drive and use different credential which is an account on that machine it says "it's currently mapped using a different username and password"
Thank you
Check permissions on the remote machine for the folders that can not be accessed. Give permissions to "everyone." Click permissions as in my screenshot.
Map the drives using an admin account's user/pass from remote machine, by choosing to connect with different credentials as you've said.
Reboot the remote machine if you're still having problems. It will rid of that currently mapped error. If it doesn't, go on remote machine and allow more users to connect to the remote folders. For each one. Same place where you grant "everyone" permission.

Hi and welcome
Im assuming you are using Homegroup for networking.
Lets take a look at device manager by typing device manager in search. go to the wif tab and look to see if your card listed listed. Is it? does it have a yellow triangle on it?
Are there any "unknown" devices with yellow on them?

Both my computers, Desktop (ethernet connection) and my laptop (wireless) were in the same network up until I changed my internet modem Hitron model CODA 4582U (Rogers cable, ON, CA). After doing the wired connection of the new medem to my desktop, since it does not have a wireless card or adapter, I am having difficulty in creating a homegroup because they are in two different network. In my desktop under system settings, network shows as WORKGROUP and but in my laptop under system settings network shows as ZNETWORK, it appears system has automatically defaulted it as domain network not as peer to peer. As such both the computers are not in the same network, WORKGROUP. I think because of that I am having difficulty in making my laptop to join the homegroup. In the laptop file explorer my desktop does not appear either under Network folder or Homegroup folder.
Further, through Control Panel > System I tried to change the name ZNETWORK to WORKGROUP. But is does not allow me to do that either, I can change only the name of the computer not the workgroup.
Any assistance in bringing thesee two computers under one network and to create a homegroup would be appreciated.
Are you saying that you think the PCs are on different networks (in spite of being connected to the same router) or in different Workgroups? Having the PCs in the same Workgroup is not necessary for Homegroups, and not necessary for file sharing (but sometimes makes it easier).
If one of the PCs is in a Domain you must have joined the domain, as Windows does not default to Domain instead of Workgroup.
Please show a screenshot of the relevant portion of the System window, since you say that the discrepancy is shown there. If you need help with a screen shot see TSG Posting a Screenshot. FWIW to take screen shots with Windows Vista or latter I prefer to use the built-in Snipping Tool.

I just had to format my hardrive and reinstall Windows XP.
Now I am trying to connect to the internet via my already establisched Cable -> Router -> PC network but no matter what I try the 'Wizard' doesn't seem to do what I need.
I obviously have a connection at the cable modem and router since I was able to use the other PC in my house to post this.

I am frustrated that this is so non-intuitive.

Sink or swim for Siphon City
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The scenario is an unlikely one for success. A former $75,000 claimer, whose trainer has never even started a horse at Saratoga, goes against the big boys in a prestigious Grade 1 race. But that will be the case here Saturday when Calder-based trainer Dan Hurtak brings his red-hot Siphon City up from south Florida to face division kingpins Invasor and Flower Alley in the $750,000 Whitney Handicap.
Siphon City has captured his last three starts, including the Grade 2 Cornhusker Breeders' Cup Handicap at Prairie Meadows by six widening lengths. The 112 Beyer Speed Figure that Siphon City earned for the Cornhusker is the highest last-race Beyer of any of the seven expected starters in the Whitney, although Hurtak knows full well running that kind of number in Iowa and repeating it at Saratoga are two different things.
"I just felt he's at the top of his game right now, he's never going to be any better, so we might as well run against the best and see what we've got," Hurtak said by phone from Florida minutes after Siphon City worked an easy three furlongs in 35 seconds and galloped out a half-mile in 47.26 at Saratoga on Tuesday morning.
Siphon City's almost-too-good-to-be-true story began on Feb. 18, 2005, when Hurtak claimed the son of Siphon for owner Ray Larkin for $75,000 at Gulfstream Park. Siphon City won that day on the turf and subsequently captured two of his next 10 starts. But he had never even broken 90 on the Beyer scale until finishing second in a second-level allowance race at Gulfstream early this spring. Since then the 4-year-old has won an overnight stakes by eight lengths and the Grade 3 Memorial Day Handicap at Calder prior to his huge performance in the Cornhusker.
"He was a really nervous and mean horse when we first got him, but after a while he just began to relax, became more content, and has calmed down 1,000 percent," said Hurtak. "We still have to saddle him away from the other horses, but he's been getting better with that, and I don't think we'll have a problem on Saturday even with the big crowd."
Hurtak is well aware that Invasor and Flower Alley are the horses to beat in the Whitney, but he says it is Wanderin Boy he would rather not see in the starting lineup Saturday.
"My horse is at his best on the front end," said Hurtak. "I was hoping we might be able to get out to a big enough lead where he could hang on at the end even if he did get a little tired. But Wanderin Boy could really hurt us the most, because that puts a real classy speed horse on the lead with me. We'll have a lot better chance if he doesn't run."
As of Tuesday, the prospective starting lineup for the Whitney consisted of Invasor, Flower Alley, Siphon City, Wanderin Boy, Sun King, Survivalist, and Premium Tap.
Personal Ensign next for Balletto
Trainer Tom Albertrani had a very good weekend. It was almost a great one. Albertrani sent out Bernardini to dominate the Grade 1 Jim Dandy, got beat a nose by Spun Sugar with Balletto in the Grade 1 Go for Wand, and finished second on Monday with odds-on favorite Songster in the Grade 2 Amsterdam.
"It really would have been nice to see Balletto win, especially considering she had missed her whole 3-year-old season," said Albertrani. "I expected a better effort out of her in the Go for Wand just because of the way she was coming into the race compared to the Ogden Phipps. The two turns and pace scenario were also a big benefit. It was just too bad she lost the head bob."
Albertrani said Balletto will be pointed next for the Grade 1 Personal Ensign on Aug. 25.
Albertrani said that Bernardini came out of the Jim Dandy in good order.
"I thought his performance on Saturday was even more impressive than the Preakness," said Albertrani. "He's just a special horse."
Chapmans go for two graded stakes
When you think of a father-son trainer team potentially winning graded stakes on the same weekend at Saratoga, the first names that come to mind are Allen and Jimmy Jerkens. But this weekend it will be the Chapmans, Jim Sr. and Jim Jr., who will each send out a leading contender in a graded stakes.
On Friday, Jim Sr. will saddle Malibu Mint in the Grade 2 Honorable Miss. The following afternoon, Jim Jr. will attempt to win the Grade 1 Test with Misty Rosette.
Malibu Mint enters the six-furlong Honorable Miss off a career-best effort, a 3 3/4-length upset of Calder's Grade 1 Princess Rooney Handicap. She worked an easy three furlongs in 38.17 here Tuesday.
"Our main objective after the Princess Rooney was going to be the Ballerina here later this month, but she came out of her last race so good I thought we might as well bring her up here and get her over the track once," said the senior Chapman.
Misty Rosette is one of several top candidates in a well-matched field of 12 or 13 3-year-old fillies likely to start in the wide-open Test. A daughter of Stormin Fever, Misty Rosette won her first three career starts, including the Grade 3 Old Hat at Gulfstream in her 3-year-old debut, then was off four months prior to her fifth-place finish in the Grade 1 Prioress at Belmont. She got back on a winning track last week in an overnight stakes at Monmouth Park.
"I stopped on her this winter to take a little flake out of her knee," said Jim Chapman Jr. "I knew I had enough time after that to get her back for the two Grade 1's, the Prioress and the Test, which was the plan all along. The race at Monmouth wasn't part of the plan, but it was a chance to get a little more black type on her record and she would have needed to work anyway."
The Chapmans are no strangers to Grade 1 success. They have managed the career of Caller One, a two-time winner of the prestigious Dubai Golden Shaheen, who has earned more than $2 million. Now 9, he finished fifth in Calder's two-furlong Rocket Man Stakes on July 22.
"He hates being on the farm," said Chapman Sr. "He's just happier at the track. The Rocket Man was really just a prep race for this Sunday, when he runs in a stakes going 4 1/2 furlongs at Mountaineer Park."
* Both the attendance and handle figures for the opening week of the meet show a decline from the corresponding dates in 2005. Average daily attendance was down 14 percent from 28,815 to 24,713. Ontrack handle was off 10 percent, while all-sources handle was down 2.6 percent from a year ago.

Annual Funding Round Open for Water Safety Education and Research
Water Safety New Zealand (WSNZ) is looking to broaden the reach of Water Skills for Life and fund research to fill knowledge gaps on New Zealand's drowning problem.
WSNZ's Investment Programme is now open to applications and the priorities for 2018/19 are:
- The ongoing implementation of Water Skills for Life (WSFL) for 5 to
13 year oldsincluding greater national coverage.
- The establishment of a separate, ring-fenced, competitive research fund for water safety sector researchers.
CEO Jonty Mills is excited about establishing strong drowning prevention partnerships that meet the objectives of the Water Safety Sector Strategy 2020.
"Getting as many young New Zealanders as possible learning fundamental water safety skills is critical to bringing down our drowning toll. We also need new insights into how we can keep New Zealander's safe in, on and around our waterways" says
The 2018/19 Water Safety New Zealand (WSNZ) Investment Prospectus differs from previous years in that it contains details on two separate funds:
- The Drowning Prevention Fund which supports projects that deliver drowning prevention interventions that make a difference to New Zealand's drowning toll; and
- The Water Safety Research Fund which supports research projects that make a contribution to meeting the water safety sector's unmet knowledge needs.

A. Udaya Shankar – Distributed Programming: Theory and Practice
Published: 2012-09-15 | ISBN: 1461448808 | PDF | 395 pages | 3 MB
Distributed Programming: Theory and Practice presents a practical and rigorous method to develop distributed programs that correctly implement their specifications. The method also covers how to write specifications and how to use them. Numerous examples such as bounded buffers, distributed locks, message-passing services, and distributed termination detection illustrate the method. Larger examples include data transfer protocols, distributed shared memory, and TCP network sockets.

In poor countries where people are mostly educated. Being a volunteer is a normal phase to be in after college. The government don't have the ability to give benefits to individuals who are unemployed. Employers can't pay much to employees because people can't pay much for the services they offer. I remember volunteering myself and getting transient pay that is enough to buy me Pringles and some treats when somebody (regular worker) is sick or on vacation. Relocating to other countries where we can get better pay, is what most choose to do.
In rich countries, getting your thumb crushed by a machinery means you get paid by the company for a lifetime. In poor countries you still have to go to work if you want to feed your family. Irony is, the abuse people put into the benefits they get is catching up and now we are talking about trillions in deficits and governments going bankcrupt plus the economy is just plain bad. Employers are not hiring much and benefits are cut. College graduates don't have jobs to go to. People just have to learn to volunteer to be able to practice their professions and work odd jobs to put food and roof for their families and hope that things will get better.
According to WIKI. In general terms, volunteering is the practice of people working on behalf of others or a particular cause without payment for their time and services. Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity, intended to promote good or improve human quality of life, but people also volunteer for their own skill development, to meet others, to make contacts for possible employment, to have fun, and a variety of other reasons that could be considered self-serving.
Volunteering takes many forms and is performed by a wide range of people. Many volunteers are specifically trained in the areas they work in, such as medicine, education, or emergency rescue. Other volunteers serve on an as-needed basis, such as in response to a natural disaster or for a beach-cleanup.

Adding custom font in xcode...
[Wanna join zealous iOS developer or wanna ask some thing click here to join Best FACEBOOK Group ]
steps of adding custom fonts in xcode is
Add your custom font files into your project using XCode as resources.
Add key font provided by application to your info plist.(array key)
For each font add the full font file name along with extension as item into the key.
Now you can use the font as UIFont *customFont = [UIFont fontWithName:fontName size:fontSize];
The catch the font name is not the font file name every time.....
you can install the font file to check its font name....use that name and you are sorted....
the correct name of the font ("Carnivalee Freakshow" in this case) is displayed at the top bar when you open the font file...
Note:- If it still dosent work go to build phases ->copy bundle resources and add all your font files
