Aggieland is one of the biggest reasons to visit the Bryan-College Station community. It is a community in the heart of Texas that offers rich tradition and history to all. It is a community that is filled with so much diversity for individuals to enjoy. Individuals can enjoy a symphony performance, enjoy the scenic campus of the Texas A&M University, and chat with actual cowboys at a real rodeo all in one day and one convenient location.
Visitors and residents get to enjoy the big city life mixed with the warmth of a small-town charm. In fact, most people agree this community is actually one of the friendliest places you will ever visit. Regardless of what circumstances bring you to the community, you are sure to find a friendly "Howdy" waiting around every corner. This community offers the finest accommodations that are sure to strike anyone's fancy. You must take the time to savor the taste of all the locally grown organic meals, the gourmet dining, or the traditionally cooked BBQ meals. All of the amazing restaurants are unique to this area.
Aggieland is also perfect for a romantic giveaway or someone who is just looking for ways to entertain their children. This is a great place for you, you and your significant other, or you and your family. There are tons of things to do and the word "bored" just isn't in the vocabulary of individuals staying or living within this community.

For the life of me, I cannot find any topics here with any depth about Nagano's first manga.
Now, from what I understand, the topic doesn't necessarily deserve a whole lot of depth but I just got a copy of the Tankouban in the post yesterday, and it totally looks like something worth translating - for FSS fans at least.
As with any scanlation project, I know this would be a labor of love. I'll try to hunt around the various groups out there on the interwebs, but I wanted to make this board my first touchstone.
It doesn't seem like the sort of thing that's likely to ever be licensed by any English language manga publisher, so I wouldn't feel too bad about ethical issues (tho' the author his own self might come after me I guess). I was thinking about watermarking all the page scans with something that wouldn't damage readability but would make it unattractive to print out.
Anyway, this seems to me like an important piece of history to share with English reading FSS fans so any help or references or whatever that people here can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Now if I could just get my hands on the English translation scripts that were used for the old purple VHS tapes of L-Gaim that I have only the first 12 episodes of, and I know there were more.

If only I were young and sufficiently free from responsibility to spend the next year doing nothing but intensively studying Japanese. Then I could take on this project all by myself.
Maybe I should approach one of the groups like Hawks, Omanga, or Manga Screener.
I'd really like to be able to read this thing.

text: 3.13 Parliamentary Committees Text Size a a a Print Page ContentThe Parliament has two types of committees which it may use to undertake its work. These are Standing Committees and Select Committees. A Select Committee is a group of Members selected by either the Legislative Council or the Legislative Assembly or by both Houses in the case of a Joint Select Committee, to carry out a single issue inquiry (for example land conservation, rural education or youth affairs) on behalf of the House and to report back to the House. Once the Committee has reported, the Committee ceases to exist. A Bill may also be referred to a Select Committee after the second reading. There are also Standing Committees of the Parliament. Either House (or both Houses, as in the case of the Legislation Committees) may establish a Standing Committee, or there may be a Joint Standing Committee made up of Members of both Houses, which operate for the term of the Parliament. These Committees look at matters connected with the receipt and expenditure of public money, legislation, government agencies or delegated legislation (rules, regulations and by-laws made by a delegated authority, for example, local government by-laws). Both Houses also have Standing Committees which consider, and make recommendations on, the Standing Orders of each house. Select and Standing Committees have wide powers and may compel people to appear before them for questioning and demand that records and documents be produced.

Work starts to protect rare little terns at Gronant
Work is under way to protect one of the UK's rarest seabirds.
Little terns breed on a shingle beach in north Wales, they return each April from Africa to nest at the Gronant dunes on the Dee estuary but there is a warning the birds are threatened by climate change.
A five-year EU partnership aims to make sure the bird has a long-term recovery in Wales.
Beach visitors, in particular, are being urged to give the birds space.
The RSPB says other UK little tern colonies - on the Tees and in Lincolnshire - have already been lost because of changes to the UK coastline, and predictions of increased coastal flooding and sea level rises could spell further disaster for these elegant tiny seabirds.
Colin Wells, site manager for the RSPB on the Dee Estuary Reserve has helped erect and maintain a predator exclusion fence, and monitor breeding numbers at Gronant.
He said: "These dainty little seabirds, no heavier than a tennis ball, have just started returning to our shores and travelling thousands of miles from their wintering sites off the south and west coasts of Africa.
"We need to make sure that they have the best chance of finding a suitable home when they arrive."
He said the local community could help by giving the little tern the space to breed undisturbed. Beach visitors are advised to observe local signs and avoid entering certain areas during the season.
Fifty per cent of the work in Gronant has been funded by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and a local caravan business Haven Leisure at nearby Presthaven has also contributed.
Adrian Hibbert, from Denbighshire county council countryside service, said the little terns were one of the species "most vulnerable" to climate change, with the beaches they need to breed quickly becoming unsuitable because of rising seas and floods.
"In the past the areas lost to flooding or storms would be offset by new areas of sand or shingle thrown up by the sea," said Mr Hibbert.
"This is now being prevented by hard sea defences and other man-made developments.
"The result, known as coastal squeeze, means beaches are getting narrower and the little terns are quickly running out of space."

Get to Know Vimeo Plus
With an infinite number of Groups, Channels, and Albums to tinker with, Vimeo Plus makes it easier than ever to organize your content — whether you're showcasing videos about flesh-eating pianos and surreal museum hallucinations. Uploading woes are a thing of the past with this upgrade too, now that members can upload up to 5GB of 1080p HD quality videos each week. Express conversion means your videos won't have to wait in line either and they'll go live faster. That kind of speed is great for videos, but it also extends to support too, since Plus members get their support questions tackled in under four hours on business days.
As you build an audience with your unique creations, followers will appreciate being able to download their favorites from your film offerings and experience watching your videos ad-free. You also reap those benefits, since as a member, you won't have to watch any ads on the site. Period.
Attracting new viewers is a cinch too, since Vimeo Plus lets you customize your embedded video player with your choice of color schemes and configurations. What's really awesome is you also get total control over where your videos can and can't appear online with advanced domain-level privacy.
See What Creators Are Making with Vimeo Plus
All of that might sound great, but the real excitement comes from seeing just what members can do with their Vimeo Plus memberships. Remember those videos we mentioned? Yeah, here you go:
A unique style of shooting and editing makes Matty Brown's stand out in ways that are at times sublime and haunting. In this jaw-dropping, Emmy-nominated short "The Piano," he wields his style to evoke an atmosphere that's both sensual and horrifying.
Greg Barth's surreal filmmaking adventures favor oddball situations and crazy sets. His thought-provoking projects are real head-scratchers — but in a good way. This brilliantly bizarre video he created for Passion Pit's "I'll Be Alright" gets more intense by the minute.
StoryCorps is known for its moving audio documentaries of extraordinary personal stories told by everyday people that often evoke strong emotions. In this short but impactful piece titled "Germans in the Woods," a gentlemen recalls a moment from World War II that haunted him for much of his life.
If those videos didn't spark your inspiration, we can't imagine what will! Feeling primed to get in on the video making action?

I have also interviewed children and adults who found refuge on the British mainland during the war - from places such as the Channel Islands and Gibraltar, France and Belgium.
Prior to starting work on this new book, I spent four years (2008 to 2012) interviewing Guernsey evacuees for my first book, 'Guernsey Evacuees: The Forgotten Evacuees of the Second World War' (published in 2012 by History Press). However, during that time I was also contacted by people from all over Britain with their own amazing evacuation stories and photographs. I am now using these to produce my new book, which will be published in September 2014 by Pen and Sword books.
Sadly, many of the Guernsey evacuees I interviewed for my first book have passed away, so I feel that it is vital that Second World War evacuees' stories are collected now before they are lost for ever.
My new book will also include stories from people who took evacuees into their homes or who offered assistance to evacuees when they arrived in their towns. One man from Lancashire, John Fletcher, felt so sorry for the hundreds of children who arrived in his town without their parents, that he tirelessly raised funds throughout the war so that they could have a Christmas present each year.
Some of the stories that I have collected are positive, with evacuees being extremely happy, gaining new experiences, making new friends, and forming a long lasting bond with the families they were billeted with. Some children and adults never returned to their own families after the war, others were physically or mentally abused, and some died during their time away from home. There is so much more to the evacuation story than just children arriving at railway stations with labels tied their coats. Hopefully this book, with the help of the family photographs, will paint a picture of how the British people opened up their homes to evacuated children and adults during the dark days of the war.
The book can be pre ordered from Amazon here:

Failure? Is it? Is the theme. My story follows.
Barbara curled a few strands of auburn hair with her finger. First up and then down. "Stupid!?!"
Her job had gone the way of extinct species. Her town-home was in foreclosure. What a waste. Life had never been this crappy. A degree in computer sciences did little good when no one was hiring. Where had she gone wrong?
Television was full of commercials to retrain as this, that, or some other thing. Retrain! Hadn't she spent enough time in college?
Newly divorced, her parents gone within a year of each other, her sister wouldn't talk to her, and the list of failures dragged on until Barbara was certain nothing good would come to her. She wanted to give up. She wanted to hide in a dark room. More likely she'd be under a bridge in a tent.
She had five brochures on various jobs. A veterinary assistant, a florist, a dental hygienist, a daycare provider and last but not least a social worker. Being a florist would be fun but where there really any jobs in that field? She didn't think she wanted to work with young children. That left three choices. The medical field was expanding. Social workers where in demand. But did dogs and cats really need her?
Monday followed her indecisive Sunday. In three months she could be a dental hygienist. Wrinkling her nose at the thought of the odors at a dental office, Barbara lifted the phone and called the school. Now that she had made a decision, her spirit lifted. She showered, dried her hair, put on a blue dress and drove to her appointment at the school. A smile touched her lips. The future looked bright.
283 words.
I hope you enjoyed my little tale.

(written from a Production point of view)
(written from a Production point of view)
Bruce Schoengarth (27 April 1918 – 30 June 1995; age 77) was a film editor who worked on Star Trek: The Original Series.
Apart from his work on Star Trek, he edited a number of feature film and television projects, including episodes of Mannix, Lassie, Ben Casey and Hawaii Five-O. In his later years, Schoengarth turned to sound editing, and mostly worked in this capacity on the popular sitcom, Mork & Mindy.
Schoengarth was the father-in-law of John Jefferies's daughter (also the niece of Matt Jefferies), whom his son, John married.

Out of the mathematics of general relativity would come ideas and postulates that are themselves also matters now of household conversation: time as another, and fourth, dimension; time as capable of being slowed; the ongoing expansion of the universe; the Big Bang. And in conjunction with the work of other brilliant, popularly known physicists like Edwin Hubble, general relativity would eventually make it possible, on July 20, 1969, for Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to walk on the surface of Earth's moon. In doing so, they walked on what always before had been the footstool of God, and that made all the difference. Literalism based on inerrancy could not survive the blow (though it would die a slow and painful death); and without inerrancy-based literalism, the divine authority of Scripture was decentralized, subject to the caprices of human interpretation, turned into some kind of pick-and-choose bazaar for skillful hagglers. Where now is our authority?
Phyllis Tickle, The Great Emergence, p 82, emphasis mine
I think I commented on this or a similar quote of Tickle's some time ago, but something struck me in this statement--the contention that in going to the moon we had somehow walked upon "the footstool of God".
So, doing a little search in the Bible on what is the footstool of God, I found a bit of something that makes Tickle's statement rather amusing.
Isaiah 66:1
This is what the Lord says: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?
Matthew 5:34-35
But I tell you, Do not swear at all; either by heaven, for it is God's throne, or by the earth, for it is his footstool; of by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
And Acts 7:49 quotes Isaiah 66:1.
I have not found any place in the Bible where the moon is referred to as God's footstool; rather, it is the Earth itself that is given that moniker.
Which makes Tickles statement about us walking on God's footstool rather amusing, since long before astronauts set foot on the moon, we were walking quite frequently, openly, and with impunity upon God's footstool. It seems that setting foot on God's footstool didn't make all that much of a difference, after all.
Which leads me to think that Tickle's declaration of the death of biblical literalism is based more on wishful thinking than reality. But just as people on Tickle's side of the aisle have tried to declare things dead that really are not, like political conservatism and the Republican Party, biblical literalism is still alive and well. Tickle need not whistle as she passes by the graveyard, for the ghost of literalism is not there.
Nor is the ghost of liberalism there, either, though that spirit I would wish was confined within the walls of the cemetery of ideas, where it richly belongs. But it would be wrong of me to say that it is, no matter my own preference for it's swift demise. Liberal politicians are still out there, still defending the rights of certain 'doctors' to take the lives of the most helpless of human beings, the unborn; still trying to normalize sexual perversion; still trying to take the US down the failing road of socialism; still trying to use class warfare rhetoric to take more and more tax money from people; still using questionable science to gain more and more control over us; still making criminals into heroes; and so on.
And liberalism is still alive in religion, too. Tickle's statement about the death of literalism and Scripture losing its divine authority could be considered among the hallmarks of religious liberalism.

Its this Australian TV show where Felix (The goth boy) Jake (tough guy) Andy (the cute nerd (to me)) and Sam (the golden boy). These four totally different boys all in up in an alternative universe, a universe where they were never born!
While they were on a school field trip, they got lost. They slept in the forest for one night. Then, when they woke up they were chased by a tornado in the middle of the forest. Once, they escaped the tornado. They all went back to their homes but when they did. No one knew who they were.
What the guys didn't know at that time was that they were in a whole other dimension similar to theirs.
Andy thought it was collective amnesia at first but when he, Jake, and Sam went to their school to find records of them. There was nothing!
So, nobody knows who they are and there's not a single record showing that they exist. While, back in their universe, their families and friends are all worried and looking for them everywhere. Its being reported all over the country's news but the boys don't know that.
WARNING: Don't continue to read this if you want to find out on your own.
Now, back to the other universe. In this world, Sam is replace with a alt universe twin named Sammy whose dating his girlfriend, Mia. Jake's mom is successful, she's married to his hated teacher, Mr. Bates (Jake hates him, just Jake.) and his loser dad is now a cop. Andy's sister has his room and his grandmother thinks he's a ghost boy. Last but not least, Felix's younger brother can walk again but can't remember him. And to make things worse there's this evil spirit who's (I think) trying to kill them.
It is later revealed that Felix is a witch of some sort and is also the reason why they are stuck in this alternative universe. Let me explain, Felix did a unmaking spell. Why? Because his brother is in an wheelchair due to an accident that happen prior to the series. But why did Jake, Sam and Andy have to be involved? Because Felix said there was something special about them.
SPOILER ALERT: They discover at the end of season 1 that have elemental powers. Felix has fire, Jake has earth, Andy has water, and Sam has air. Even Oscar has an elemental power but I ain't telling y'all that because I've already said too much.
But who is this evil spirit that's trying to harm them? The evil spirit is an restoring demon. Its suppose to bring things back to normal or restore. It could go either way.
When Felix did the unmaking spell, I guess he undid them out of their universe and that's what bought them to the alternative universe. But they're NOT suppose to be there. So, that's why they're being hunted by this demon. Who also be possessing people who look exactly the boys' friends and family members.
The restoring demon, Alice (who is also a witch) is the sister of Phoebe, a shop owner, who has been pretending to be the boys aunt when Andy, Jake, and Sam vandalized their school gym.
Now, lets get back to where was I… oh yeah.
After, a whole lot of action and drama, and some good laughs. The boys discover that Felix's awful rock song is the unmaking spell. They perform that out loud and return back home. But they don't know that Alice had return with them.
What I just said happen in Season 1. I only saw one episode of Season 2, the first episode of course.
I will explain what happen in that episode but I have question. HAVE YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION? If you have or have not, please comment in the comment box below this post.
Moving on, in Season 2 episode 1, after returning back home. The boys have been getting some publicity, but poor, little, adorable Andy is being treated the same by fellow students. Even at the welcome back party. He tries to use his powers to impress Ellen (I think).
Oh Snap! I forgot to mention. Ellen is Felix's friend and she is also a goth. But back in the other dimension, she was all girly and was Mia's friend. She also developed a crush on Andy after Jr saved her from being hit by a bus.
Now back to where I was. Andy splashed himself with water. Only making him look like a fool. He runs off to a lake or pond. Where he is taken by a some evil spirit.
WHY? Why did it have to be Andy? My poor Andy. I have to keep watching to find out what's gonna happen next.
SPOILER ALERT: There's a season 3 and the entire cast is all new actors. But the show is still set in the fictional town of Bremin (I think that was it).
If anyone is confused about the show, just ask me in comments or Google.
Anyway, you now see why you should watch nowhere boys. Its so thrilling!
If you can't find somewhere to watch it online. I'll find some links.
Till next time, which will probably be real soon. See ya.

… while reactions to SOUS LES PAVÉS have been strong (we receive your kind letters, gifts of books and other printed matter, and—in some cases—monetary/material donations, which is to mention nothing of the fine manuscripts that continue to arrive in number too great to include in any single issue), we remain insolvent. Producing and shipping SOUS LES PAVÉS costs money, and we simply don't have adequate funds, including the donations that some of you have so generously sent over the last ten months, to keep this publication going. Unless we reimagine how SOUS LES PAVÉS is funded, we must face the very real possibility that this will be the final FREE issue.
Yet possibilities remain! & I want to propose here a series of steps that we (editors/contributors/readers) can take in order to ensure that SOUS LES PAVÉS continues to circulate throughout the coming year. But I cannot stress enough: if adequate funding is not secured, SOUS LES PAVÉS will be forced to shift to a subscription-only format or cease publication altogether. So please, if you value this publication, consider acting on one of the attached proposals.
Every reader should pay hir own postage and cost of production. This works out to be just under $2. If every one of you who receives this publication continuously forwards this small fund to the address below, we will continue the effort en perpetuity.
Because—and I say this with full cognizance of the likelihood that some of you will find this statement pessimistic and even offensive—most of you will not send $2 in exchange for the continued life of this publication (indeed most of you won't even take the time or muster the generosity to send a single dollar), we must rely on a smaller core of sustainers who will agree to collectively fund SOUS LES PAVÉS with larger annual or quartlerly donations. If 20 people will agree to donate $100 per year (or $25 on a quarterly basis), we will be able to produce and distribute four issues of SOUS LES PAVÉS to 300 individuals over the course of the year. If additional sustainers emerge, we will be liberated to expand our list of recipients (we currently have a mailing list of approx. 1,000 individuals, 300 of whom receive SLP in the mail and 200+ international readers who receive the publication in a digital format).
Asking 20 individuals to buck-up the cash for an entire year's publication/distribution budget is, in all honesty, asking quite a lot from such a small set, and there's no guarantee that 20 (or any) individuals will respond to this call. Therefore, we need those of you who have been donating smaller amounts to continue doing so, and we need those of you who have never donated to SOUS LES PAVÉS to consider joining the current list of donors by contributing $5, $10, $25, or $50 in order to maintain this particular aspect of our collective struggle to publish and distribute a politically efficacious poetry in a cultural milieu that consistently demonstrates disturbing tendancies toward the apathetic, the self-interested, and the vapid.
As always, this issue was in part made possible by the generous donations of its readers. A great many thanks to the following donors, past and present:
Tim Johnson, Mary Burger, Teresa K. Miller, Rory Dufficy, Geoff Olsen, Rachel Levitsky, Tom Raworth, Josh Stanley, Pavement Saw Press, Jared Schickling, Charles Godwin, Projective Industries, Joel Calahan, Keith Tuma, Edmond Caldwell, The Chicago Review, Brenda Iijima, Ross Sloan, Tim Earley, Alistair Noon, Austin Smith, William Sylvester + 12 anonymous donors.
Please consider joining the ranks of those listed above by lending financial / material support to this effort …
or send cash, checks, M.O., reams of paper, books of stamps (61cent), ink (Brother DCP-7040), staples, etc. to:

Blackberry 10 to Launch With Over 100,000 Apps – Programmers Submit Yet Another 19k BB10 Apps in Less Than 2 Days
It looks like Research in Motion has done it! Break the 100k app mark for BB10, that is.
Last week, Research in Motion reported that during the two days the Blackberry 10 port-a-thon ran that there were 15,000 submissions. Today, Alec Saunders, VP Developer Relations at Research In Motion announced that, over the last day and a half, developers have submitted yet another 19,000 apps (19,071 to be exact) for BB10's pre-launch. That brings the total to 34,000 from the port-a-thons alone, meaning there could be as many as 104,000 apps available by the January 30th launch date of the Blackberry 10 operating system.
A date for the new Blackberry Z10 phone has not been officially released yet, but dates as early as the end of February have been reported.
While I'm not a huge user of apps myself, this bodes well for RIM as they attempt to compete with Microsoft's Windows Phone (by app count, BB is obliterating MS) for third position in the market behind iPhone and Android. RIM has mostly focused on the business user, which they have done a very good job of, but they've lost a lot of ground over the last few years as their products have become stale. From everything I've seen, BB10 is shaping up to be not only the greatest business phone operating system ever, especially for BYOD businesses, but with BB10's Balance (basically two completely sand-boxed yet simultaneously-accessible BB10 instances on a single phone – 1 business and 1 personal), the consumer market is sure to take up the devices.
For the past few years many businesses, analysts, and consumers have written Blackberry off. Especially with very little new being produced over the last year and a half. It seems that all RIM's time and effort has been put into BB10, which has been delayed quite some time; but for the better in my opinion. Releasing a half-assed phone/OS would have certainly meant the demise of the Blackberry. All the extra time and effort that they've put in to make things just right is really shaping up to have been the right move.
Personally I'll be waiting for the QWERTY edition phone as I love having the physical feedback that a physical keyboard provides, but from all the videos I've seen of the touchscreen version, BB10's on-screen keyboard looks like it'll allow for faster typing than any other keyboard ever created.
In other news, I have surpassed the 1-year mark of developing my video game, Super Space Trooper. Be sure to check that out. I'm hoping to have it completed in five months and launched on the PlayStation Network another three months after that. There's no word yet on whether or not Unity3D's gaming engine will be ported to BB10, but if they do port it you can be sure I'll be releasing Super Space Trooper to that platform as well.

Lois And Clark: The Three Star-Maidens
by Andrew Troy Keller ([email protected])
It had all began on the Eighth day of the month of December at percisely
5:47PM, which was exactly when one of the reporters of a great metropolitan
newspaper known as the Daily Planet whose name is Lois Lane had said
'goodbye' to three of her good friends, the newspaper's editor-in-chief
whose name is Perry White, a young photographer named Jimmy Olsen and a
fellow female reporter whose name is Catherine 'Cat' Grant just before she
had left the building, gotten into her car and started driving herself away
from her place of employment.
But as soon as she had stopped her car in front of a City of Metropolis
intersection, a shadowly female stranger had slowly lifted herself up and
behind the unsuspecting Lois, wrapped one of her strong arms around the
shocked reporter and placed a chloroform-dipped cloth under her nose.
And of course, even though she had tried as hard as she had possibly could to
free herself from the shadow stranger's grip, the fumes from the chloroform
had became too strong and caused a helpless Lois Lane to close her eyes and
become unconscious.
Just then, after the effects of the drug had finally worn-off and she was
finally able to open her eyes, Lois had looked around and discovered that she
had somehow been placed inside a sex-dungeon-type room, stripped bare-ass
naked and chained to a long metal pole.
And then, after she had tried to free herself from her bondage without any
type of success, an enraged Lois had turned her angry eyes towards a large
metal door and yelled, "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS GOING ON HERE?! ARE YOU
That had caused the large metal door to suddenly open itself up and allow
three silver-haired nude humanoid females to step inside the room and place
themselves in front of a helpless Lois just before she had looked at her
three captors and asked, "How are you?Why am I here?"
And then, after one of the female humanoids had started pumping two of her
fingers in and out of her hot, wet pussy and carressing her own tits with
the other hand, the third female humanoid had moved herself closer to Lois,
placed her gentle hand on the Daily Planet reporter's cheek and answered,
"We're so sorry to had abducted you, Lois Lane. But we do hereby assure you
that it was necessary for us to do so. My name is Shara and my companions
are Mara and Clora. We had traveled a long way from the planet Jeoplin in
order to find the two perfect specimens for our little study of pure and
untamed erotica. And thanks to both you and Superman, we had found those
such specimens right here on Earth."
But then, just as Shara was about to say one more word, a small-smiling Clora
had moved herself into another section of the chamber just before a hovering
flat-screen monitor has placed itself inside the room and allowed Shara to
press a button, look at Lois and say to her helpless captive, "And if you're
worrying about when is your galant hero finally going to come to your rescue,
you might want to watch this."
And after Shara had moved herself out of the way, the image of the heroic
Superman -- who is actually Lois' beloved husband, Clark Kent -- has just
appeared on the floating screen and he had looked like he was worried about
something, which was for a good reason, for as soon as he had used his
x-ray vision to see if Lois was okay and discovered that she was actually
unconscious and someone else was driving the car, the Last Son of Krypton
had followed the car out of town and over towards an empty field, where a
gigantic alien starship has placed itself at.
And just as the mighty Man of Steel was about to land and place himself
in-between both the car and the starship, the top of the ship had just opened
up and allowed a large Kryptonite-covered robodroid to zoom its way out of
the ship and towards a shocked Man of Tomorrow.
And even though he had tried to keep himself as far away from the robodroid
as possible, it was still able to grab hold of the suddenly-helpless Superman
and started smashing him really hard against some of the surrounding trees
until the helpless Justice Leaguer has no other choice, but to collapse and
become unconscious.
That was before the image has disappeared on the floating screen and it had
left the room just before Shara has placed herself on a small circle-shaped
remote-control-unit, turned her eyes towards Lois and said, "There's no need
for you to fear, Lois. You see, we had only weakened him long enough for us
to bring him aboard and join us for our little bit of pure sexual enjoyment."
And after she had pressed three of the circles on the control-unit, a wall
section has moved itself over to one side in order to reveal to a shocked
Lois the sight of Clora allowing the bare-ass naked Man of Steel to pump his
stiff cock in and out of her hot, wet pussy with one of her hands on his bare
arm and the other hand on her own tits.
That was before both Shara and Mara had waked themselves over to their
helpless captive and placed a pair of small disks on both sides of her neck
just before they had activated those disks and allowed a sudden wave of
energy to flow itself into Lois' brain and cause her to have no choice, but
to obey the orders that her newfound mistresses would allow themselves to
give her.
And then, after both Shara and Mara had released their newest sex-slave
from her bondage and the three of them had moved themselves closer to both
Clark and Clora, Shara has placed her lips close to Lois' ear and whispered
something to her just before she had dropped herself down to her knees,
placed her head in-between Shara's legs and began licking on her hot, wet
Then, after Mara had leaned herself down and started sucking on Lois' firm
breasts, Shara has placed one of her hands on Mara's bare back and the other
hand on Clora's bare shoulder and said, "Aaaahhhh, yeeeessss! That's it! Do
it, Lois! Touch me! Touch me there! Suck my wet pussy dry! Aaaahhhh!"
And then, after the three female humanoids had finally released the enslaved
Last Son of Krypton from his bondage and allowed him to take his stiff cock
and let Lois suck on it, both Clark and his fellow Daily Planet reporter had
suddenly realized that even though they were being held and forced to have
hot and steamy sex against their will, they were both able to experience the
one thing that they had never experienced with any size group before, for
they were experiencing pure and untamed erotica... and enjoying every minute
of it.
Just then, after Clark has placed his stone hard dick inside Shara's cunt and
started licking on Lois' pussy, Shara had started licking on Clora's snatch
and carressing her tits and Lois has placed her hand on Clora's silky smooth
naked thigh and started sucking on her bare toes.
That was before Clora had started licking on Mara's hot and steamy cunt and
the third star-maiden has placed one of her hands on Shara's bare back and
the other hand on Lois' bare shoulder and yelled at the top of her lungs,
And then, after the three star-maidens and their two sex-slaves had started
moving themselves harder and faster and their lovemaking has finally started
hovering itself over the Smallville, Kansas home of Clark's adopted-parents,
Jonathan and Martha Kent, Clark, Lois, Shara, Mara and Clora had came and
collapsed due to exhaustion and fell asleep with their naked arms in a
lover's embrace.
Just then, after both Clark and Lois had finally opened their eyes and
discovered that their clothes were back on and they had somehow been placed
inside Lois' car outside the alien starship, both the heroic Superman and
the Daily Planet reporter had looked at each other for a minute or two and
gave each other a big hug.
That was before a sudden flash of light and roaring sound had caused both
Lois and Clark to get themselves out of the car and turned their curious
eyes towards the alien starship, just in time to watch it lift itself up
from the scene and straight into the deepest reaches of outer space.
And after it was finally gone, a curious Lois had turned her head towards
her beloved super-powered husband, took a deep breath and asked, "What do
you think, Clark?Do you think that we should go ahead and tell everybody
back at the Daily Planet about our little close encounter?"
And then, after he had taken a deep breath and scratched the back of his
head, the Last Son of Krypton had turned his eyes towards his loving wife
and answered, "I don't think so, Lois. Because it means that I have to
reveal my secret to the rest of the world. Besides, if we were to do so
anyway, who would be able to believe us?"

Definitely! Here , we're all about choice, so you can specify that your door be either factory-finished with clear lacquer, custom paint or stain, or unfinished for field application of paint or stain. Should you select an unfinished door, however, extreme care should be taken to ensure that the individual slats are not stuck together with dried paint or stain. This will adversely affect door operation.
A Tip: Our factory finishing services are generally less expensive than field finishing, and usually offer superior results. Each component is finished prior to assembly, assuring complete coverage, and problems with oils or grease coming in contact with the door during installation are minimized. Also, every finish we use is water-based and 100 percent environmentally safe - a big plus for the planet.
You name it, we'll match it. Simply send a sample of the desired paint or stain finish to Woodfold prior to production, and we'll prepare and return a match sample for your approval. Once samples and shop drawings are approved, we'll get to work crafting your door.
Dimensions for fabrication of a Roll-Up Door are based on four different mounting styles. Click on the style below that reflects your installation criteria. (Note: Acrobat Reader is required to view these PDF documents.)
* Inside Mount Under Lintel
* Between Wall Mount on Face of Lintel
* Between Wall Mount Without Lintel
* Outside Mount
The initial dimensions will be used for quotation purposes, and a follow-up formalized shop drawing will verify the exact final dimensions of your door and its components.
Roll-Up Doors are offered standard in Maple, Birch, Cherry, Mahogany and Oak. We also offer other hardwood species on special request, though due to quality standards, we don't offer softwood species.
Roll-Up Doors are available in maximum widths to 12' and clear opening heights up to 8'. In certain cases however, availability of hardwood supplies and operation issues impacted by the overall door size may result in width and height restrictions.
Hood sizes range from 11" to 14" in height and depth, and the width is dependent upon the size of your opening.
No, although we recommend that the coil be enclosed in the field by a contractor if you don't use a hood.
As usual, a picture is worth a thousand words. Click on the mounting options below to see the difference. (Note: Acrobat Reader is required to view these PDF documents.)
* Inside Mount Under Lintel
* Between Wall Mount on Face of Lintel
* Between Wall Mount Without Lintel
* Outside Mount
Absolutely. Our unique torsion spring system allows for smooth, effortless operation, although for doors installed on openings in excess of 60 square feet, we recommend use of a motor or hand crank.
Since every Roll-Up Door is engineered and crafted for lasting, problem-free performance, we're confident such a scenario will never arise. But if it does, the dealer or distributor from whom you purchased the door will assist with service issues and any questions.
Of course. Roll-Up Doors are guaranteed against problems resulting from defective materials or faulty manufacturing workmanship. Problems created by field finishing however, cannot be covered by this guarantee.
Roll-Up Doors are available with slide bolts, thumb turns or key lock style deadbolts. We don't offer motorized doors with lock or latching systems in order to sidestep problems which would likely occur if someone operated the motor when a lock was engaged.
Both thumb turns and key locks are surface-mounted, with the dead bolt portion mounted internally in the bottom bar. Slide bolts are surface-mounted.
Although you can relocate a latch or lock, we don't recommend doing so, since unsightly machining marks and holes will remain on the bottom bar. Woodfold's precision shop drawing process eliminates the problem altogether by assuring the latch/lock mechanism is properly positioned.
Our standard production lead-time is two to three weeks after receipt of final shop drawing forms and approval of color match, if required. Additional time should be allowed for shipping.
No, Woodfold doors are not available with a fire rating, nor are they constructed of fire retardant materials. Here's why: typically, roll-up doors don't serve as an egress, and oftentimes, areas on both sides of the door are protected by sprinkler systems. While these factors may eliminate the requirement for fire rated material in your project, we suggest consulting with your local code officials.
To date, STC and FSTC tests for sound control have not been performed on our Roll-Up Doors.
Since Woodfold Roll-Up Doors are precision-crafted to your initial specifications, we don't recommend adding or removing slats in the field.
Our Roll-Up Doors are attached to the wood guide rails which are part of the door package, and require support of vertical walls.
For aesthetics sake, all Woodfold guide rails are crafted of the same hardwood material as the roll-up curtain, and exceed all minimum strength requirements for this application.
No worries. Our motor-operated doors include an emergency hand crank in case a power outage occurs.
Our motor-operated Roll-Up Doors draw 1.8 amps, require a standard 120-volt power source, and include a standard single-pole double-throw paddle switch.
Roll-up doors, rolling shutters and coiling grills are common terms used when describing an overhead coiling door used for counter or full-height dividers. Tambour doors are typically lighter weight and used as a component in kitchen cabinetry, roll-top desks, appliance garages and entertainment centers.
On inside and between-wall mounts in motor or crank applications, a space must be created to house the gearbox between the end plate and the mounting jamb or wall. This space is called a Pack Out. Click on the appropriate mounting option below to get a better look. (Acrobat Reader is required.)
* Inside Mount Under Lintel with Pack Out
* Between Wall Mount on Face of Lintel with Pack Out
* Between Wall Mount Without Lintel with Pack Out
On Inside Mounts and Between Wall Mounts without Lintel, the opposite coil side is exposed and should be covered by a fascia. On an Outside Mount, the opposite coil side is covered by the wall.

We choose CATIA and DELMIA for their 3D digital mock-up technology in design, process, and manufacturing because Dassault Systèmes has aircraft-dedicated applications which are the de-facto standard in the aerospace industry.
In the Aerospace & Defense (A&D) industry where many projects experience cost overruns and schedule delays, good manufacturing planning and execution are critical to staying in business. Manufacturing planning and execution involves innumerable elements that must be precisely coordinated and executed to successfully launch a program on time and on budget. Interrelated activities throughout manufacturing facilities and the supply-chain must be carefully planned to achieve the safest, fastest, and most optimum sequence.
Dassault Systèmes (3DS)' solution for Aerospace Manufacturing supports "Design-for-Manufacturing" approach in order that design and manufacturing processes can be optimized concurrently, in ways that best utilize available resources. From the early stages of product development, manufacturing planning, resource management and production operations can be defined in Dassault Systèmes' PLM system to reduce the occurrence of manufacturing-delaying problems that often arise when products are ready to be built. Comprehensive 3D process and resource planning tools are provided for manufacturing organizations throughout the extended enterprise for creating and optimizing build-to-order, flexible manufacturing processes. By simulating resources such as robots, humans and manufacturing processes, manufacturers in the A&D industry can evaluate multiple production systems and process designs before investing in a single prototype. This approach promotes Design Anywhere/Build Anywhere (DABA) business agility, enabling production to be shifted easily among several plants to optimize capacity.
Since changes are inevitable in the real world, this solution offers functionalities to rapidly assess different alternatives to the production process and suggest 'build-around' strategy to quickly and efficiently revise the plan. Dassault Systèmes' PLM system maintains the relationships between design ("As Designed"), manufacturing planning ("As Planned"), and production ("As Built") information. This helps aircraft manufacturers track late changes, identify parts that may be impacted by design changes and study the impact of the changes on production to optimize throughput and maintain product quality.
Dassault Systèmes' PLM system, with integrated design and manufacturing, gives aircraft manufacturers the information they need to predict the cost of changes in dollars and time. Manufacturing sequences can be rearranged independently from the design structure, providing full flexibility for individual sites to utilize custom production methods. Upon the completion of manufacturing planning, detailed work instructions are transferred to workers through the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) in the form of easy to follow instructions that include 3D assembly sequences to help minimize errors.
We choose CATIA and DELMIA for their 3D digital mock-up technology in design, process, and manufacturing because Dassault Systèmes has aircraft-dedicated applications which are the de-facto standard in the aerospace industry.

We made these sweet bunnies just before Easter, but I'm only now posting them! :P You could still certainly throw this cutie patootie bulletin board up in no time!
I needed something SUPER fast, and I knew this would fit the bill. I let the kiddos choose which color rabbit they would like to have and also let them choose the scrapbook paper. I think they turned out just darling and I see their personalities in each one! This board was inspired by this uber cute board! It's so much cuter than mine, but I love mine so much!
PS – Do you think they need feet? I feel like there is something missing! (I just didn't want to cut out all of the little feet!!)
Now, if only spring would cooperate and get here already!! Sheesh – you would think I live in Siberia!

"I say only three types of people claim they don't like Krispy Kremes: nutritionists (your basic glazed has 200 calories and 12 grams of fat), Dunkin' Donuts franchisees, and compulsive liars….It was Mack who came up with the concept of "doughnut theater." They put the doughnut-making equipment in stores so that people could see the doughnuts cook for exactly 115 seconds in 365-degree vegetable shortening, after which the precious confections plow through a glaze waterfall before curving 180 degrees around to the counter so that a salesperson can pluck a hot one right off the line and hand it to the drooling customer." Andy Serwer —The Hole Story: How Krispy Kreme Became the Hottest Brand (Fortune)
During the summer after I graduated from high school, my buddy Eric and I would buy a couple boxes of Krispy Kremes and drive around late at night to the houses of girls we knew.
When they opened the door at 10pm on a weeknight, instead of saying, "It's 10pm on a weeknight!" they would say, "Donuts!"

The term smelting refers to the bulk production of the major metal bearing liquid phase as one of the process steps during the pyrometallurgical production of Metals
The liquid phase produced may be either a liquid metal sulfide (matte) as in the production of Copper and Nickel, or a metallic phase as in the production of Iron and Steel, Lead, Zinc, and Aluminum.
Smelting of nonferous sulphide ore concentrates to liquid metals is now predominately performed by either of two methods.
Flash smelting is a process in which fine powder of the sulfide together with an air/oxygen mixture are injected into the top of a large shaft. The subsequent combustion of a proportion of the sulfur content results in autogeneous production of a liquid matte phase containing the major part of the metal, and a liquid oxide (slag) phase bearing the impurity oxide content of the concentrate. The liquid matte and slag are collected at the bottom of the shaft.
Bath smelting is a process in which fine powder sulfide is fed directly into a liquid matte bath, which is agitated by injection of air/oxygen.
In smelting iron and steel and zinc and lead, the oxide bearing the metal is reduced to metal with carbon (in the form of coke) in a shaft furnace (known as a blast furnace). The carbon also acts as a fuel and its combustion leads to the production of Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide. This provides both the reducing atmosphere and the heat required for the production of a liquid metallic phase and a liquid oxide (slag) phase bearing the oxide impurities of the concentrate.
In aluminum smelting the reduction of aluminum oxide is performed electrochemically by the Electrolysis of Al2O3 dissolved in a liquid fluoride flux.

In our day-to-day operations we are always aware of the orders placed on our website and recently one of our Camalooners, realized that Uber was placing an order with Camaloon.
But before we tell you what happened, we're going to tell you some more about this company.
For those who don't already know about it, Uber is a company that provides its customers with a transport network via its mobile application software, and in Barcelona as in other cities such as New York or Chicago, via the app, Uber has implemented another service: Uber Eats, a food delivery service to your home in less than 10 minutes.
For this reason, when we saw that Uber had placed the order, the idea occurred to us of delivering their products: Use Uber Eats!
That's what happened.
And these are the products that the delivery man took to give them to all the Uber team.
Because each delivery can be a surprise :)

Tuesday, May 26, 2009 by: Sherry Baker, Health Sciences Editor
(NaturalNews) In addition to being the seasoning that provides flavor to Indian curries, the yellow-gold spice known as turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.) has long been an important part of traditional Asian medicine. Throughout countless centuries, herbalists have prescribed it to treat gastrointestinal problems, lack of energy, arthritis pain and other conditions. Modern day Western medicine has recently taken a serious look at the spice and, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), demonstrated the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties of turmeric and its major polyphenol (a type of phytochemical), curcumin. Now researchers at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University (USDA HNRCA) have found another possible benefit of turmeric. The curcumin it contains appears to reduce weight gain and suppress the growth of fat tissue.
The new research, just published in the May 2009 issue of The Journal of Nutrition, does not involve humans but it does provide tantalizing clues that turmeric could be helpful in the fight against obesity. Tufts scientists studied mice fed high fat diets supplemented with curcumin from turmeric and they also investigated cell cultures incubated with curcumin. The phytochemical reduced weight gain in curcumin-supplemented mice. Moreover, it suppressed the growth of fat tissue in both the lab animals and in cell models.
"Weight gain is the result of the growth and expansion of fat tissue, which cannot happen unless new blood vessels form, a process known as angiogenesis," said senior author Mohsen Meydani, DVM, PhD, director of the Vascular Biology Laboratory at the USDA HNRCA, in a statement to the media. "Based on our data, curcumin appears to suppress angiogenic activity in the fat tissue of mice fed high fat diets."
Dr. Meydani and his research team fed lab mice a high fat diet for 12 weeks. One group of the animals eating the high fat diet also received curcumin while a control group did not. Both groups ate the same amount of food, which showed that the curcumin didn't change the appetite of the mice. However, the rodents fed the curcumin supplemented diet did not gain as much weight as the mice that didn't eat any curcumin.
"Curcumin appeared to be responsible for total lower body fat in the group that received supplementation," Dr. Meydani, professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts, said in the press statement. "In those mice, we observed a suppression of micro vessel density in fat tissue, a sign of less blood vessel growth and thus less expansion of fat. We also found lower blood cholesterol levels and fat in the liver of those mice. In general, angiogenesis and an accumulation of lipids in fat cells contribute to fat tissue growth."
In addition, the scientists found similar results in cell cultures. And, according to their published study, their data suggests curcumin has the ability to interfere with the expression of two genes which contribute to angiogenesis progression in both cell and rodent models.
"We have no way of telling whether curcumin could prevent fat tissue growth in humans," Dr. Meydani said in the press statement. "The mechanism or mechanisms by which curcumin appears to affect fat tissue must be investigated in a randomized, clinical trial involving humans."
Ejaz A, Wu, D, Kwan P, and Meydani M. Journal of Nutrition. May 2009; 139 (5): 1042-1048. Curcumin Inhibits Adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes and Angiogenesis and Obesity in C57/BL Mice. 919-925.

College of Arts and Sciences' First App: Archeology Quest–Atlantis
The Maurice Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies with the help of the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology Inc. (CCAT) have launched a mobile app for iPhone and Android users that gives them a sense of what it's like to be a member of the University's Atlantis archeology project. The app, Archaeology Quest—Atlantis, is available for free download from iTunes to coincide with this week's premier of National Geographic Channel's two-hour documentary Atlantis Rising, which features the work of UHart's Professor of Jewish History and archaeologist Richard Freund.
The investigative documentary follows the research team's leader Freund, executive producer and Oscar-winning director James Cameron (Avatar, Titantic) and Emmy-winning filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici; as well as a group of archaeologists, scientists, and historians as they search for the lost city and the "Atlantean" civilization. Freund's explorations in five locations, which are believed to be the sites of the ancient civilization, are in Crete, Santorini, Sardinia, Malta, and the Azores.
In the course of the expedition, six stone anchors were discovered that could date back to the Bronze Age.

Washington Crosses the Delaware
So Jenny says to me she says, "You're a history type of girl, right?" And I'm like, "Yeah, baby! Yeah!" So we repaired to the spot where Washington crossed the Delaware.
There are a lot of facts about that day that most people don't realize. The Delaware, for instance, is quite shallow. And there's a narrow little bridge that spans the river at this pointfar too narrow for a Revolutionary War-era chuck wagon, hence the crossing via boats. There's a tremendous population of Canadian Geese in the area, lending credence to the conspiracy theory that America never actually won the war and is still a colony of Montreal. C'est vrai!
General Washington was a tremendous fan of cross country running as a college event, and we were careful to look out for the historical reinactment taking place of the famous Washington Runs Cross Country Near the Delaware.
Jenny and I became so concerned about the importance of documenting these startling facts, that we turned to the camera I'd stuffed into my pocket that morning.
This is a replica of a Revolutionary War-era ferry, built to scale. Why did Washington choose to cross in boats instead of on ferries such as this? It's not, as most people believe, because he knew that boats would lend themselves much more readily to ninteenth century paintings. No, Washington chose not to use the ferries because, as anyone can see, the damned thing doesn't look very stable. We've seen Survivor and know what happens when you take a big flat piece of wood and load it up with hostile people and supplies. It's funny to the viewers at home, but not conducive to winning a war.
Washington and his men each had small figurines representing themselves. They used these to mark their spots at the dinner table when they got up to get more rolls, use the bathroom, or avoid difficult conversation. They were also used to plan battles on enormous maps they carried place to place on the backs of mules. This site has a real treat: a few of the figurines remain intact and are on display inside a building. Only no one's allowed inside the building for fear that the little guys will be stolen.
This is the tree Washington sent a young page boy to climb to see whether he could spy any nasty Hessians hanging around on the other side of the river. He couldn't.
And here we see the path Washington followed along his quest to win the war and a spot on the lowest form of US paper currency. He's very lucky that this path was already here and went exactly where he wanted to go.
In this spot on December 26, 1776, Washington pondered which sandwich to eat as they paused before the next leg of his journey. Jenny shows, with remarkable historic accuracy, the awkward thinking position Washington preferred when making difficult choices.
This is the actual bench where Washington ate a bologna and mustard sandwich. Yum.

I finished the last three aprons for all of Peter's teachers at White Rose, and even convinced an actual adult to photograph me modeling them since my previous photographer just couldn't be bothered yesterday afternoon. Corey told me they were like a collection on Project Runway, so here they all are in one place. Guess which one would be singled out by Nina as the one that doesn't quite fit with the rest?
This one was cute, but if I were making it for me I would modify the tutorial to make the apron a little wider. I used twill tape instead of fabric ties for the apron strings and neck tie because I was getting anxious to get this all done in time. Someone please remind me not to model in a tank top ever again, because I'm not so thrilled with the armpit shot.
I deviated from the tutorial on this one and unfortunately it resulted in the straps coming off the apron at a funny angle. When I make this again (and I totally will, because there is nothing I like more than turning old jeans into something fun!), I will actually follow Kim's directions a little closer for cutting out the shape for the arm holes. I also think the binding needs to be cut on the bias to work with the curves a little better. I should have taken a photo of the reverse of the apron, because the inside of the jeans I used had a cool plaid print.
Corey volunteered to model this one for me. This is for the only male teacher at White Rose. I made it in a carpenter apron style, and just sort of winged it after looking for a good tutorial and failing miserably. Fun fact -- the bias tape was made from an old twin sheet that I used in law school (until mom and dad got me my awesome queen size bed when I moved out of student housing). The denim was just bought at the fabric store -- it wasn't from old jeans.
The next two I already blogged about previously.
And here is the reverse of the scalloped edge apron, with the see-through lining. I didn't get the pockets angled correctly (which the author of the tutorial also said she struggled with -- so why not figure it out and add some markings to the pattern to aid in pocket placement, huh?), but it's not too crazy noticeable.
WHEW! A couple of those aprons (the bottom two, actually) took a lot longer than I imagined they might. I wish I had been there to see the teachers open their gifts, but Peter was throwing a HUGE tantrum at drop-off and I thought it was better if I just skedaddled out of there ASAP. NanaB picked Petey up from school because I was at Charlotte's preschool picnic, and she said the teachers were all tickled with the aprons. The aprons were individually wrapped, and they let Petey hand them out to each teacher. He was so proud to do that. So much fun!

The Business Case for Digitizing Your Archive
Most organizations have had a physical document archive that has grown over the years. This includes filing cabinets, bookshelves, archive boxes or Compactus shelving storing a litany of different business documents.
In recent years physical archiving has been superseded by electronic document management systems (EDMS). As digitisation becomes more pervasive document controllers will need to decide what to do with the information stored in their physical document archives.
These physical archives aren't always a high priority for most office managers, so, putting off the decision to digitize is understandable. Even so, most office managers agree that physical archiving is not an ideal way for storing historical documents and whilst the decision can be delayed for now, they know that ultimately they must choose to either destroy or digitize their physical archives.
If destroying the information is not a suitable course of action digitising the archive is the only way forward. The argument for digitising a physical archive is strong. As you'd expect scanning your archive will give you all the benefits provided by your EDMS and as such the business case is similar to that of installing an EDMS in the first place. We've gone through some basic reasons why document controllers and office managers digitize their physical document archives :
Reason 1 : Reducing Storage Costs
Perth office space is at an all-time premium and thanks to the one in a hundred year mining boom it doesn't look like it will change any time soon. Costs associated with filing cabinets include the floor space they occupy, the cabinet itself plus the paper within it. Reducing the number of filing cabinets in your office reclaims thousands of dollars of poorly utilised office space. Whilst offsite storage can reduce the cost, especially for those in the CBD it introduces its own unique problems and ongoing charges.
Reason 2 : Reducing Retrieval Costs
A large part of the cost of your archive is the time it takes to retrieve documents from it. Finding documents can be difficult in large, disorganized archives and chew up a lot of labour time. Even the best organised physical archive will soak up hours of your employee's time and retrieval times and costs can grow considerably when documents are stored offsite. Compared to the time taken to search through an EDMS the long term cost of storage and retrieval of electronic documents is considerably lower.
Reason 3 : Meeting Statutory Requirements
Depending on your industry you may have a legal requirement to retain certain documents. Government instrumentalities have a more pressing need to retain documents for longer periods of time. The period can be as long as 20 years once a document becomes inactive. Scanning your archive allows simple access to the documents without having to worry about the safety of the document for 20 years or more.
Reason 4 : Surviving a Disaster
Physical archives are susceptible to fire & water damage. Scanning your archive allows you to create multiple redundancies for these documents in separate locations across the business. In the event of a disaster, business interruption is reduced to the absolute minimum.
Reason 5 : Maintaining Archive Integrity
Physical archives deteriorate over time. What's worse is the use of the archive also can interfere with its integrity, files can go missing and papers can be returned to the archive in the wrong spot. Digitising the archive halts the process of document ageing and misfiling, preserving the integrity of the database.
Reason 6 : Future proofing
Your organization never knows what's going to happen in the future. Legal challenges may require evidence of original documentation. Even worse critical design flaws in the future may require referencing original plans. As some buildings are designed to last 100 years, it's unlikely your predecessor will be able to find those blueprints from 2002 in 2102 unless they're in a safe place.

Can an LLC Have Employees?
Your LLC can always have employees regardless of the number of members or whether your LLC is member-managed or manager-managed. Employees need not be members themselves, though members may be employees if they would like. Before you hire any employees, though, ensure that the two necessary requirements are fulfilled.

Do LLC Members Pay Self-Employment Tax?
In an employer-employee relationship, half of Social Security and Medicare taxes are paid by the employer. When you are self-employed, you must pay the full Social Security and Medicare taxes on your own. This additional share is referred to as the self-employment tax. The self-employment tax rate is subject to change, but is currently 15.3%, which consists of 12.4% Social Security tax and 2.9% Medicare tax. For the 2011 tax year, the self-employment tax rate will change to 13.3%, which consists of 10.4% Social Security tax and 2.9% Medicare tax.

Google has recently come under scrutiny for not paying enough taxes, but now the company says it has paid too much. It is suing the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for $83.5 million that the company says should be refunded.
Bloomberg's Andrew Zajac first reported the news, writing, "Google Inc. (GOOG), owner of the most popular Internet search engine, sued the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for an $83.5 million refund, claiming it was improperly denied a deduction for a 2004 stock transaction with America Online Inc. The IRS erred in disallowing a $238.6 million deduction claimed for the difference between the price AOL paid to exercise a warrant for Google stock and the value of the shares, according to the complaint in U.S. Tax Court."
CNET's Don Reisinger explained, "A stock warrant gives the holder -- in this case, AOL -- the right to purchase shares at a previously set price within a certain time frame. According to the suit, AOL acquired the $238.6 million in shares about three months before Google priced its IPO and went public. That effectively left Google without those shares to sell in its IPO, and since the warrants were used as remuneration for services AOL was providing to Google at the time, the company wanted to expense the total share outlay."
All Things D ran a statement from Google, which said, "We filed a petition challenging an outstanding issue from our 2003/2004 tax assessment. This is a domestic issue related to stock warrants and we hope to have it resolved soon."
Chris Crum with WebProNews noted, "The company evidently made note of its intent to file a complaint against the IRS in an SEC filing back in January, without getting into specifics."

Rodeo life comes alive in this romantic/suspense...
Photographer Jenna Swain puts her heart and soul into her work. When Today's Sports, a popular magazine, hires her to capture the essence of the professional rodeo, she sets up a live shoot at a rodeo not far from her San Francisco home. Her camera especially likes the ambitious Luke Campbell, a cowboy whose career is taking off.
But Jenna's blond hair and blue eyes have most of the fellas all tongue-tied and passing glances her way. She wishes that she could be a male, for a little while, in order to fit unnoticed into the scene and get the crowning photo that seems to elude her. Could she slip into the rodeo as a man?
Dressed in second-hand clothes and cowboy boots, Jenna experiences an entirely different perspective of life as the young cowboy Jamie Frame. But when another cowboy is murdered, Jamie Frame is seen fleeing the scene, and Jenna's masquerade is over - she is arrested for the murder. And Luke, whose feelings for Jenna are heating up as fast as his career, is livid with her for having held back the truth from him. Despite his rage, he believes in Jenna's innocence and becomes her ally. Together, somehow, they must clear her name...
An Awe-Struck ReleaseComing Soon...
Fascinated by the language of the deaf, Pamela Klein set out to learn the graceful gestures of sign language, becoming a student of a deaf tutor. She went on to secure employment with an agency for the deaf and hard of hearing, determined to acquire the skills to facilitate communication between deaf and hearing worlds.
Two years later, her nephew was born deaf.
Pam's first love is writing, and it only seemed natural to incorporate the struggles and triumphs of the Deaf in her first novel, "STOLEN TIME," a romantic thriller that grabs you from the start, propelling the reader into a realm of intrigue and suspense. There are enough twists and turns, including romance, to gladden the hearts of every reader.
A self-proclaimed perfectionist when it comes to her work, Pam's love of research shows in her craft.
"Her writing seems effortless . . . only an artist can make something look so easy," says editor, Kathryn D. Struck, of Awe-Struck E-Books.
Words already grace the pages of her second book, "NO HOLDING BACK."
When Pam isn't writing, you can find her utilizing her eye for detail as a Statistician for a non-profit employment placement agency, or interpreting for the Deaf.
As someone who enjoys camping and a day at the beach, Pam's favorite sports include golfing and swimming. Yoga and power walks add to Pam's energy level, making it possible for her to keep up with two young and very active children.
The picturesque setting of Red Deer, nestled in the foothills between Calgary and Edmonton, is where you'll find Pamela spinning her tales of suspense. With the editing assistance of Pamela's twin sister, Donalda, this duo is a very talented team.
"From the very beginning sentence of 'I'm innocent,' right up to the verdict, NO HOLDING BACK is filled with suspense wondering just who is innocent in the mess surrounding Swain Productions and a bunch of hardened rodeo cowboys...The writing is superb!"Brenda Ramsbacher -- Scribblers
"...an interesting look at the professional rodeo..."Jennifer Bishop -- Romance Reviews Today
The barn was as abandoned as the grounds. A few livestock remained as some contractors were too far from home to venture out this late. They were fed and now their owners were busy taking care of their own stomachs. Jenna stopped to pat the flank of a proud stallion, his coat a striking midnight black. The animal responded to Jenna's soft voice, not bothering to question the gender of its owner, knowing only it was a human being with maybe a carrot to chew. Jenna had no food to offer, but a stroke seemed to be good enough.
Suddenly the tranquility was pierced by the ugly wail of a man in pain. Jenna swung around at the same time an object fell from the loft above. A man landed with a thud on the concrete pad a few yards from her feet. A pair of steers on the other side of the fence scurried away from the intrusion.
At first, Jenna stood there unsure of what to do. The shock of what had just happened settled in on her. Then she recognized it was Denny McIntyre and she ran to him without hesitating.
"Denny? Are you okay?" He moaned like a wounded beast. Lying partially on his back, his arms moved in an attempt to struggle to his side. Horror registered on his face and his eyes darted from side to side in rapid succession. Jenna reached for his hand and he pulled on her arm, trying to lift his weight off his back.
"My back!" He groaned out the words with such intensity that Jenna thought the blood vessels in his eyes would burst. Instantly, she thought his back might be broken.
"Don't move!" She knew enough not to move a man suspected of a broken back. When it appeared as if he wouldn't listen to her, she pushed him closer to the floor and he screamed out in agony. Jenna put her hands up in defense. Her touch was causing him great pain. She'd broken contact with him, but still his hands reached, searching for her.
"My back!" Jenna was confused. How could he attempt to move if his back were broken? His eyes were huge, the pupils moving to the corners of his eyes. He seemed to teeter on his side. She moved to look behind him, and when she got a glimpse of his back, her breath caught in her chest.
A metal hook protruded from the center of his spine!
She stopped short and a scream lodged itself in her throat but it never left her mouth. Horrified by the image now in front of her, she fell to her knees beside him, feeling utterly helpless.
"Oh my God!" finally found its way to her lips. She stared at the hook, then at Denny's pleading face. With eyes glazed over in pain, he fixed his stare on her, locking his eyes on hers.
"Take...it...out!" he gasped. "P-l-e-a-s-e!

Blog Comments as Evidence of Consumer Confusion–QVC v. Your Vitamins
QVC, Inc. v. Your Vitamins, Inc., 2010 WL 2985801 (D. Del. July 27, 2010)
This case involves two competitive products. Lessman, the principal behind one of the products, posted 4 blog posts deconstructing his competitor's products. The competitor sued Lessman and others for false advertising and related claims. The court discusses introducing comments to the 4 blog posts as evidence:
To the extent plaintiffs address implied falsity, they offer responsive posts to Lessman's blogs as evidence of actual confusion.FN14 (D.I. 34 at 5 ("no one has written to express relief that any cancer risk is abated by the small quantities of unabsorbabilityl")) There are sixty-seven (67) comments to the 99% additives article FN15 and fifty (50) comments to the Revesterol article.FN16 Though many of these are negative to QVC (as compared to simply supportive of Lessman), only a few correlate a decision not to buy Nature's Code Hair with Lessman's particular statements as discussed above.
FN14. The parties have each submitted statements regarding the traffic on Lessman's blog. At oral argument, defendants confirmed that there is no way to determine the number of lawyer or staff visits to Lessman's site as compared to consumer visits. (D.I. 41 at 2) Notwithstanding, the number of "hits" on a given page are not indicative of actual confusion imparted by the substance of Lessman's messages. Insofar as the court does not reach the issue of harms to the respective parties, the court need not evaluate the evidence further. Plaintiffs' motion to strike defendants' submissions regarding website traffic is, therefore, denied as moot.
FN15. As of July 20, 2010. The 99% additives article was posted by Lessman in January 2010. All but two comments were posted in January 2010. One substantive comment (negative to Lessman) was posted in April 2010.
FN16. Certain individuals engaged in online conversations via the blogs and posted several comments; therefore, there were less than 67 and 50 total responders to each article, respectively.
Only three posts to the 99% article appear to address HA and/or cancer. One asks Lessman whether HA poses a risk in creams or lotions.FN17 Another generally reflects that QVC is "criminal" for posing risks to "people's health." One reader stated that "I did read that HA was linked in some cases [to] cancers," but stated that the "primary reason" for discontinuing the use of Nature's Code Hair was how it made her feel (edgy and anxious). Similarly, four reiterate the 99% number or the high percentage of additives contained in Nature's Code Hair. Only one appears to address silica, and it came in the context of a question to Lessman regarding the silica in Healthy Hair. None of the comments to the Resveratrol article relate a decision not to purchase Resveratrex® with the source of resveratrol or sugar content. FN18 The court finds that plaintiffs have not demonstrated a "likelihood of success" with respect to implied falsity on this limited record and, therefore, need not evaluate the remaining preliminary injunction factors. FN19
FN17. Lessman responded to this post that he can see no risk by HA in topical products. A later blogger thanked Lessman for this additional HA information.
FN18. Plaintiffs stated at oral argument that the blogs and videos at issue are linked-to on other media, such as Facebook®. It is unclear on this record the extent of such dissemination, and the court does not have before it any consumer comments from other websites.
FN19. The court need not definitively determine, therefore, whether blog posts should be deemed relevant and credible evidence (generally and, in this context, as evidence of consumer confusion)-an issue of first impression for this court. Blog posts such as those in this case may be more reliable than broad-based surveys, insofar as they represent direct feedback from consumers specifically interested in the product(s) at issue, although concerns regarding such posts' authenticity are not ill-founded. Courts have reached differing conclusions on the issue. Compare Blue Bell Creameries, LP. v. Denali Co., LLC, Civ. No. 99-594, 2008 WL 2965655 at *5 & n.4 (S.D.Tex. July 31, 2008) (declining to admit blog entries as evidence of actual consumer confusion in a trademark infringement case stating that they "lack[ed] sufficient indicia of reliability" and "[n]othing is known about the persons who made the entries, about whether they are related in any way to either party or whether they are describing true events and impressions"); with Volkswagen AG v. Verdier Microbus and Camper, Inc., Civ. No. 09-231, 2009 WL 928130 at *4 (N.D.Cal. Apr. 3, 2009) (allowing internet postings and blogs "suggest[ing] that consumers believe the Verdier vehicle is a [Volkswagen] product" as evidence weighing in favor of actual consumer confusion). See also, gen., Victaulic Co. v. Tieman, 499 F.3d 227, 236 (3d Cir.2007) (web pages must be authenticated before they can be admitted pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 902).
Just to reiterate the language in FN 19, the court says "Blog posts such as those in this case may be more reliable than broad-based surveys, insofar as they represent direct feedback from consumers specifically interested in the product(s) at issue, although concerns regarding such posts' authenticity are not ill-founded." This does present a new source of evidence for litigants compared to the information available pre-Internet, when it was hard to find consumers publishing their thoughts about various brands.
