text: Solid-state drives (SSDs), which consist of NAND ash memory chips, are widely used today as a primary medium of data storage. SSDs are found within large-scale data centers, consumer PCs, and mobile devices, as the per-bit cost of NAND ash memory has greatly decreased and, as a result, SSD storage capacity has greatly increased. These improvements have been enabled by both aggressive process technology scaling and the development of multi-level cell (MLC) technology. In earlier ash memory generations, each ash cell could store only a single bit of data (a single-level cell). A multi-level cell stores two bits of data within a single cell [3, 12, 21, 25, 37, 41], thereby doubling storage capacity.

It takes special people willing to spend hours in the heat hammering nails, cutting boards and doing whatever is needed to help make dreams come true.
Habitat for Humanity of the Pomona Valley has a lot of these individuals and more.
"We wouldn't be able to complete our mission throughout the community if it wasn't for all those who volunteer. We can't thank them enough. In the past we would recognize a few individuals at a dinner. We switched to a luncheon this year, and it is always very difficult to name only a few key people, but these men and women stand out," said Faith Mellinger, Habitat development director.
Those who believe that families deserve an affordable home so they can lead a dignified and safe life have honored some of their own.
Joe Molamphy of Chino is the 2010 recipient of the coveted Ted and Mildred Woodson Award. The honor is named for Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity founder, the late Theodore Thomas Woodson. It represents his spirit, passion and commitment to helping others.
Past honorees have been Howard Towne, Ina Abelar, Mildred Moser-Smith, Anna May Towne, Bill DeKleine, Virgil Welch; Sue Gottschalk; and Patrick DeCambra.
Tim McKee of La Verne, Bobbie Griffith of Chino Hills and Richard Streifel of Ontario have received the We Saw You Doing It awards given to volunteers who go above and beyond what is asked of them.
Tim and Cathy Peron received the Fuller Award for Leadership.
Between 100 to 200 of these dedicated individuals routinely give their time and energy so families can move into an affordable living situation. That number swells to about 5,000 during a year's time when all the organization's builds are considered, but that includes people who only want or are able to participate on one project. Still, considering that the Pomona Valley affiliate of this national group is one of the smallest, it gets a lot accomplished.
The nonprofit finished its 40th home earlier this month in Chino Hills. Work continues at a Glendora site in preparation of a home that was started last fall at the Los Angeles County Fair. Plans include a potential Covina home build. And there's some discussion about the possibility of rehabilitating a bank-owned house in Rancho Cucamonga.
"Many of the affiliates in the country started their work rehabilitating houses as a way of increasing the amount of affordable housing and eliminating blight in neighborhoods. And it doesn't involve having to re-invent the wheel, just refurbishing existing housing. That's what we're looking into possibly in Rancho Cucamonga," Mellinger said.
But while volunteers help keep costs low, there's always a need for donations and funds. Fundraising efforts never end, she said.
Three are planned for the next couple of months. If you're unable to participate in a home building project, here are some opportunities to help:
• The California Pizza Kitchen in Chino Hills, 3505 Grand Ave., will have an all-day fundraiser on Aug. 9. Patrons simply have to mention Habitat and the organization will benefit.
• Christ Church of the Valley in San Dimas is hosting a "Prayers Over Easy" breakfast on Aug.t 18 starting at 7:30 a.m. Reservations would be helpful for planning purposes and donations will be accepted.
• The Los Angeles County Fair again will host Habitat's building projects from Sept. 4 through Oct. 4. Habitat volunteers in the past have started home builds on the fairgrounds and then the structures were moved. This year, volunteers will be building playhouses at the Fairplex which will then be auctioned.
For information about any of these fundraisers, call (909) 596-7098.
In addition to the hundreds of volunteers who build buildings but also provide hope, the Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity has installed its new board of directors.
They are Michael Wirtes of Rancho Cucamonga, chairman; Daniel Harden of La Verne; Sandie Oerly of Rancho Cucamonga; James Piatt of Upland; Ken Randall of West Covina; Sandra Hardie-Townsend of Claremont; Robin DeKleine of Walnut; Patrick DeCambra of Rancho Cucamonga; Robert Lastoskie of Upland; Scott Nichols of Pomona; Steve Lewis of Pomona; and Larry Rhinehart of Upland.

Snowboarding 2006
Posted by Chris @ 8:25 pm
Well, its that time of year again, we've been to Sheffield Ski Village for snowboarding lessons. Only this year we have all the kit!
We decided to repeat a level 4 lesson before going straight onto level 5, and it was a wise decision. We were both a bit rusty, more so me than Dawn! Onto level 5 and the lift was OK, didn't fall off it, and neither did Dawn, so that was a success. The not so successful bit was trying to get down the main slope!
Anyway that is this week over and done with, level 5 again next week then!

"… now that my groaning is witness to the fact that I am dissatisfied with myself, you shine forth and satisfy."
— Augustine of Hippo (354 – 430)
There's a pattern to our confession, as a soul's release from bondage is procured.
It's the pattern for the Christian life and far too few of us, much too little of the time, actually practice this ancient response to the Holy Spirit's convicting goad. And I shrink when I read those words back; no criticism of you, more criticism of me! But that's humanity's lot.
Confession is a necessary process for transformation, yet we'll have no need of it if we aren't vulnerable enough to allow the Spirit to search us; to find within ourselves those buried sources of iniquity.
Confession and repentance are why the Christian life is harder than a worldly life — harder yet better. The Christian life is devoted to the truth, to the fact of wrongfulness in the sins we commit, and to repentance. It's hard to own up to the things we should've done better; to the things we shouldn't have done at all. It's humiliating… for a moment.
But confession is a clean pain involving primary emotions. If we don't confess what we've done wrong, anger may prevail; a secondary emotion that sees sin spill over the edges, burning others with the caustic nature of the untamed tongue. But that clean, primary emotion pain is a healing variety of pain. It's good for us. It tends us toward growth.
As I confess my sin before my Lord, in safety, where there's no condemnation, He blesses me in my owning of my truth — His truth for me to own up to.
Our groaning is a sign of our dissatisfaction, not with other things, but with ourselves. It's the sign of sin. And yet it's so normal to our human condition to complain. When we see our dissatisfaction is represented in moaning, we can acknowledge God, and then He shines forth to satisfy.
Confession is the key to a soul's release; God's gift of peace.
Augustine is possibly the Church's finest exponent of humble contemplation to the ends of confession and repentance.

This morning I was going through the Elm docs and I came across this line that caused me to pause:
In Elm, commands (Cmd) are how we tell the runtime to execute things that involve side effects.
I understood "runtime" to be the length of time a program took to run, so this sentence confused me. After talking about it with some people from RC, we learned that, depending on the context, "runtime" can mean different things:

As the registered nursing strike at Northern Michigan Hospital stretches into 2004, it also takes on the unwelcome designation of longest nursing strike ever.
When Doctors Medical Center in California settled the strike that was started only days before Petoskey's, NMH's pickets moved into their place in history as the longest-striking nurses ever. According to Teamsters lawyer Ted Iorio, it wasn't what the nurses wanted for Christmas.
"Of course, it's difficult, because some of them are away from their families working at other places, and they have to make that journey so often when they'd like to be back to work at NMH," he said.
But there was an upside to this second Christmas holiday during the strike.
"It's the time of season that symbolizes brotherhood and sisterhood, so to speak, and all the good things about people," Iorio said. "As they reflect on that, they have seen that that's one of the blessings of the strike. That they've come to know one another so well, when they never really did while working practically side by side in the hospital."

Midnight Snack
West Farthing consumes my conscience for the time being. I'm sorry, I'm infatuated! It's like going home from a bar with Brad Pitt and waking up to find him cooking you breakfast and asking what you want to do for the afternoon. This is a pic of WF from Sunday, as we were tacking up for our hack in the park. I am pretty sure this was pre-fly-spray because as you can tell, he still looks genuinely placid. And, admittedly, he pretty much is this way 100% of the time. He gets over himself really quickly because being upset causes us to use energy, people! I taught pilates last night until 8, then ran out to the barn to visit, and wound up taking him on a half hour hand graze. Today I am placing my first order from Dover Saddlery in at least 3 years. This of course will open up the floodgates of 3 catalogs a week because apparently they subscribe to Direct Mail Theory: 1992, but I need some lead ropes and a few new curry combs and brushes. In reviewing my horse trailer the other day it became very apparent that I need to have another simplification. I have so much shit and, seriously, like at least 20 different options for cleaning my tack. Speaking of, my saddle is so squeaky that I can barely think when I'm riding in it. I oiled it after I rode on Sunday but am thinking it needs a hard-core treatment. I'd love ideas from people on how to return it to that soft, unobnoxious, state. I have Hydrophane, Lexol, Carr Day & Martin, glycerine, Bienenwach's, and made even some other stuff too.

I fecking hate that song! 🙂 Spinning…I did a short spin HIIT session today with my trainer…
…it was pretty brutal!
Todays training session was pretty fecking fabulous. I felt tired but so relaxed and happy – it's definitely the most under-utilised form of medication in my humble opinion – exercise that is! 🙂
I started with a rowing machine warm-up, and then we hit some weighted squats. We decided to stay at 50kgs so I could work on technique. It was only my second session and although I could have gone heavier, I wanted to focus on depth. Matt advised tweaking my leg position and this helped immensely. The benefit of having a trainer to keep an eye on technique is pretty bloody important in my opinion. We did 5 sets of 5 at 50kgs.
Then we headed to the spin room. We set the bike up and then did a 15 minute HIIT session. I could feel the resistance and it was really good. I started sweating immediately! It was a fab workout. So fab that I could hardly walk up the stairs afterwards! I will definitely incorporate some spin work into my PT sessions – if boss-man agrees – but I doubt that I am quite ready for a full-on session yet. I get too competitive and would try and do all of that standing up bollocks which would bugger up my knees.
Know your limitations…but keep pushing! 😉
We then finished with a rowing HIIT session and some stretches…it was great.
Anyway – enough of my raving about PT. I still say that any of you in Coventry and Warwickshire should check Matt out. He's pretty fecking fabulous.
I can't end the blog post there though. I have to mention a little story involving a 'plus-sized' model. It was all over Twitter yesterday with the 'that's not fucking plus-sized' brigade all over it. Here is the model in question:
She's pretty bloody hot as far as I am concerned…
In the world of fashion, this is plus-sized. Let's face it, runway fashion designers in the main want a walking clothes hanger that their clothes glide off rather nicely. They aren't that keen on curves of any kind filling out their creations. Myla is a US size 10. She is bigger than most of the standard industry models, but smaller than some of the other models who have been labelled as 'plus-size'. You can read the article in Elle if you really want to.
Now, irrespective of the fact I think it's ludicrous to call her 'plus-size', I am just not that keen on all of the arguments flying around. Personally I feel that any arguments surrounding the size of an individual immediately marginalises everyone else. So if she isn't plus-sized, then what is? And if they are plus-sized then how you describe others…minus-sized? It's just fecking stupid. The fashion industry is crazy full stop.
Ditch the labels!
We all wear clothes…does it matter what size they are as long as they fit us comfortably?
What I don't like is the thought of girls and women looking at this picture and comparing themselves. Girls and women who might feel that they aren't plus-sized, but are bigger than this beautiful woman. That could cause all manner of untold issues and worries for them.
The same happens with men. They want to be bigger, they want to be taller, more rugged…whatever…it's bullshit.
We should just try and be the best version of us that we can.
I know that I will never look the way I have dreamt of looking. In fact, the beautiful Myla is pretty damn close to my personal idea of perfection…it ain't ever gonna happen! 😉 What I do know is that I can be the best version of me. I can continue to work on my health and fitness as this is what I want to do. If what I wanted to do was eat cake, then I would eat cake! I can try and live my life to the fullest and have massive amounts of fun.
In fact, I want the most plus-sized life that I can have…in the healthiest body possible for me! 😉
What I don't want to have to worry about is comparing myself to other people. It's so hard not to do this though. 🙁 I think we are all guilty of it to a certain extent. Tell me that you didn't look at that picture of Myla and immediately work out if you would have been classed as 'plus-sized' in the world of high fashion! 😉 I am not quite sure what you did if you are a dude though…probably thought about how hot she was, like I did…or maybe you started comparing her with the females you know…
I do understand why people get all angry about stupid arsed labels. I suppose the anger is needed in order to make change. I am just over getting angry with things related to size. I reckon there is a place for all sorts of people of all sorts of sizes…and if these people live long and healthy lives then this is even better.
Personally, I reckon the energy we waste in getting angry over this kind of thing would be better spent on other things. Such as picking up the phone, or texting, or meeting in person with the ladies and gents in your life – sisters, brothers, BFFs, Mums, Dads, cousins, uncles, aunts, whoever – and telling them how amazingly wonderful they all. Make contact with them and tell them why you think they are amazing. I reckon this is probably a more useful way of expending your energy…
But what do I know? I am just a fat chick trying to be a not so fat chick with a plus-sized life! 😉
That's me done with now. I am off to watch Made in Chelsea. I am gutted that the incredibly handsome Proudlock has turned out to be such a dirty dog – I thought he was a good guy. Oooh – I watched Homeland last night. Isn't Quinn a bit of a dish? I had to ask my Twitter buddies how many syns they thought he might be as he looks so delicious! 😉 Haha! It's a good job Mr WLB knows that he's my main man! Other than the gym and some coaching, I went to see the horses and ended up in a rug battle with my Shetland. Eventually, I literally asked him out loud if he wanted it on or not…he walked back over to me and stood quietly whilst I put it on for him…I wonder if he speaks WLB?!
Today's food looked like this…
Breakfast: Bacon, mushroom, tomato, and spinach omelette with a banana.
Lunch: Butternut squash and carrot soup with cheese toastie (2 x HEA and 2 x HEB).
Dinner: Venison steak with stuffed mushrooms, sweet peppers, and herb salad.
Snacks: Fruit.
Exercise: 60 minutes PT.

Oh, New York Times . . .
Granting anonymous access in all the wrong places.
I know I'm a little off my libraries-and-technology beat, here, and a week late, but I'm an old-time newspaper junkie, and that bombshell (or clickbait) anonymous opinion piece published in the Gray Lady last week keeps bugging me.
My first reaction was anger at the author (who apparently is an appointed member of Trump's team, not a career public servant struggling to keep the wheels of government turning even as they fall off) for claiming he or she was bravely protecting us from a dangerously unbalanced president when actually the goal – the description of the things preserved - was to protect the Republican party's agenda. Joining an administration to carry out partisan goals knowing the person who appointed you is dangerously incompetent (this was not a secret) is problematic enough; telling us you're a heroic member of the resistance while also telling us you're determined to selectively carry out his promises in spite of his incapacity seems . . . what's the word I'm searching for? Undemocratic.
To be sure, there's no easy way out of this mess. The president is dangerous and Congress, which is the only check on him, won't behave like a Congress because it's held by Republicans who are scared of Trump's base, which is a minority of voters but larger than their base, and which despises government nearly as much as the people who pay for the Republican's seats in Congress. (There's something truly undemocratic about a party that pins its hopes on disenfranchisement of voters to win.)
I'm sure the anonymous author of that piece is worried that Trump could appoint a replacement who will let him do crazy stuff, and their deliberate bamboozlement of an easily-confused and distracted president is patriotic. But it's not. They supposedly swore an oath to protect the Constitution, not a party agenda. Trump made plenty of public statements during his campaign that proved he's contemptuous of the Constitution. They signed on for this, and they're going to get what they can out of it for their party and do so without turning to Congress and the people to say publicly "you must do something. The nation is in grave danger."
The anonymous writer claims "We have sunk low with him and allowed our discourse to be stripped of civility." No, most of us haven't sunk anything like as low as he has, and lack of civility is not the problem. Nor is "tribalism." Who has refused to check the president? The Republican-dominated congress.
Telling us anonymously from inside the White House that the president is incapable won't help. Trump supporters will never believe anything published in The New York Times. Times readers haven't learned anything we don't already know. This isn't newsorthy. It isn't even news. They handed a megaphone to a powerful government official, when the job of the press is to hold the powerful accountable.
There are times when reporters should allow vulnerable people anonymity in their reporting. There are even times when powerful people (Deep Throat comes to mind) should be allowed anonymity if the story is big enough, can be confirmed, and can't be told without their insider information. But granting anonymity to powerful political players is dangerous.
What did we learn from the anonymous op-ed? That we're in big trouble. We already knew that. We even knew that people in the administration are desperate to keep the president who brought them on board from doing something disastrous. You'd think from its WMD experience the Times would have learned that it's dangerous to trade their reputation for access. This piece was a promo for another episode in a reality show that Trump is directing. Everyone's waiting to hear him say, once again, "you're fired." He loves doing it, too.
I think Masha Gessen has it right: "The thing about autocracies, or budding autocracies, is that they present citizens with only bad choices. At a certain point, one has to stop trying to find the right solution and has to look, instead, for a course of action that avoids complicity. By publishing the anonymous Op-Ed, the Times became complicit in its own corruption."
Best of luck to all those in the path of yet another extraordinarily big weather event. We live in abnormal times.

Let the torque wars continue!
The screenshots revealed that the 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 powering the Silverado and Sierra heavy duty models will boast 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. This is a substantial gain over the current models' 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, and as Truck Trend points out, it exceeds the Ford Super Duty line's horsepower output of 440, but comes short of the 925 lb-ft rating.

- Court: Oregon Court of Appeals
- Area(s) of Law: Corporations
- Date Filed: 11-12-2015
- Case #: A150057
- Judge(s)/Court Below: Flynn, J. for the Court; Nakamoto, P.J.; & Egan, J.
- Full Text Opinion
Plaintiff appealed the trial court's decision holding that Defendant is not personally liable for a loan obligation, arguing that ORS 63.165 should not apply after dissolution of a limited liability corporation (LLC), and that LLC members should be held personally liable for post-dissolution obligations undertaken by the LLC. Defendant held a one-third share in an Oregon LLC: JJR. JJR was administratively dissolved in April 2004, which prohibited JJR from carrying on any business except as required to wind up and liquidate its business and affairs. In 2008, Defendant took out a loan from Plaintiff for $52,000, and signed JJR as liable for the promissory note. Payments on the loan stopped, and Plaintiff sued Defendant personally for breach of contract. The trial court found that, under ORS 63.165, members of a legally dissolved LLC cannot be held personally liable for the LLC's obligations. On appeal, Plaintiff argued that ORS 63.165 should not apply to protect members of a legally dissolved LLC when a cause of action arises out of actions not taken to wind up or liquidate the business. The Court reviewed the text, context, and legislative history of ORS 63.165, and held that the limited immunity conferred to members of an LLC extends to post-dissolution proceedings of the LLC. Affirmed.

This book is part of the collection "From the cradle to the moon" ("De la cuna a la luna"). The collection is designed by the publisher Kalandraka using a poetic pictogram technique. According to the writer, Antonio Rubio, it is following the rhythm of the reading that the child will "train the eye and sweeten the ear". For its part, the Spanish awarded illustrator Óscar Villán, elaborates the aesthetic part of these special books with touches and shades which are easily visible. As a result, the pictures are always highlighted on a light background and the images are simple and straightforward. Children who approach these books will encounter easily readable images with a great visual and communicative impact, for the pictures are articulated similarly to words and arranged following a rhythmic structure emulating versus and choruses.

My daughter loves the whole collection!

By Matthew Roberson
The Seattle Storm (14-16) hit the Midwest for a Sunday game that will certainly hold playoff implications. Seattle routed the Chicago Sky (11-18), a team that is flirting with the playoffs' eighth seed, by a 103-66 margin. Illinois native Jewell Loyd put on a show for her hometown crowd, finishing with 17 points and four rebounds. Breanna Stewart finished a rebound shy of her ninth double-double of the season, and Sue Bird inched closer to the league's all-time assist record with her eight dimes. She needs a dozen more to earn the right of leading assister in WNBA history.
Offensively and defensively, the Storm imposed its will all night. Each member of the starting lineup had at least eight points, and every player on the Storm's roster made at least one field goal. Alysha Clark played one of her best games of 2017, putting up 17 points and going 3-for-3 from beyond the arc. Bird dropped eight points and eight assists with zero turnovers, while Crystal Langhorne added her typical 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting numbers. The Sky made just 40.3 percent of its shots, and went 3-for-16 (18.8 percent) on three balls.
Seattle stormed out of the gates on a 13-4 run, holding Chicago to 2-for-9 on field goals in the opening minutes. Bird blitzed through the lane for a layup to extend the lead to double digits for the first time at 5:36, with the Storm in front 15-4. Loyd cashed in a jumper on the next possession, and after the Sky's sixth turnover of the night the Storm huddled on the sideline up 17-4, having every player in the starting five score already. When Loyd drilled a three in front of the Storm bench with 3:30 left in the frame, she gave her team a commanding 25-6 advantage.
At the quarter's conclusion, Seattle held a 29-15 lead. In the team's July 18 matchup, the Storm had an almost identical 29-11 lead. Loyd had 10 points in the first 10 minutes, and the Storm defense held Chicago to 7-for-20 from the field. The Sky also struggled from deep, shooting 0-for-5 on three's while recording just three assists and seven turnovers.
With 8:40 on the second quarter scoreboard, Ramu Tokashiki finished at the rim off a Sami Whitcomb fast break assist. This was followed on the next possession by a Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis jump shot and layup from Carolyn Swords on the possession after that. These early minutes of the quarter not only got the bench players going, but also created a 35-17 gap. Loyd reached 15 points in the first half by nailing a corner three, which also gave Seattle its 40th point of the affair. A three pointer from the right hand of Clark brought the count to 45-28 with just under four minutes remaining in the half. A slew of buckets to end the half gave Seattle a 57-36 halftime lead.
Loyd dazzled in the initial quarters, hitting seven field goals for 17 points. Her and Stewart each posted 22 +/- ratings for the first half, as Stewart checked in with nine points and seven rebounds at the break. Clark had 10 points in 10:13 of playing time in the first two stanzas. Crisp ball movement allowed for many easy baskets in the Storm's first half. The team shot 22-for-41 (53.7 percent) and registered assists on 18 of those makes. The Storm also gave the ball away just four times and committed five fouls, compared to Chicago's 10 turnovers and 11 fouls. Bird had already dished five assists by the time halftime rolled around. This matched Courtney Vandersloot for most first half dimes. Allie Quigley paced the Sky with nine points.
Bird got a friendly roll on a three on the Storm's first possession of the third quarter, putting the team on top 60-38. Seattle looked up with 6:50 on the third quarter clock and saw the score read 64-40, representing its biggest lead of the game to that point. The lead crept up to 27 points (69-42) when Clark dead-eyed a three midway through the third period. With minutes to spare in the third quarter, Seattle was sitting on a 33-point lead (79-46). Gary Kloppenburg's team pick-and-rolled Chicago to death and made 34-for-60 shots (56.7 percent) in the first three quarters. Playing on the road less than 48 hours after winning in Seattle, the Storm led 84-48 after three quarters.
Eighty-four points was more than the team's per game scoring average entering Sunday (81.5). The defense was on par with the offense, limiting Chicago to a measly 12 points in the third. Noelle Quinn buried a three on Seattle's first touch of the fourth quarter, giving the Storm 10 players in the scoring column. Whitcomb spun a three through the net later to give Seattle 90 points and 11 made threes on 20 attempts (55 percent). Kloppenburg rested his starters for the entire fourth quarter, as the team breezed to a 37-point demolition. Whitcomb drove the lane and stuck the layup to push Seattle's score into triple digits, the second time this season the Storm have knocked down the 100-point barrier.
In its last three games before being shut down by the Storm, Chicago was rocking a 113.7 offensive rating, by far the highest in the league. The red-hot Storm grounded the Sky's offense, allowing 66 points and inducing 16 turnovers. The visitors took control of the glass as well, sticking 42 rebounds to Chicago's 28.
Seattle kicked off its two-game road swing with an emphatic win. The Storm invades Atlanta on Wednesday for a game with the Dream at 7 p.m. EDT before returning to KeyArena for the home finale on Aug. 27 against Phoenix. Fans can secure the best seats in the house with Storm 360 Memberships, available now, starting at $180, available online or by calling (206) 217-WNBA (9622). Packages and group discounts are available at 206-217-WNBA (9622).

Ever wondered what it would be like to wear full Japanese street style? Wish you knew the secrets to creating a beautiful Lolita or gyaru style look, or something even more spectacular? The Tokyo Style Transformation Area at HYPER JAPAN 2014's HYPER KAWAii!! area is here to make your J-style dreams come true!
We'll be offering three different looks in the Tokyo Beauty Package zone, each one reflecting a different genre of Tokyo street style. Looks on offer include; Gyaru Style, Lolita and Sweet Lolita.To help you choose, we've put together a quick guide to each look, along with a bit more information about each distinctive J-street style.
Gyaru Style
Gyaru style is the look of choice for young ladies who favour a cool, fun and hip style. It's most commonly seen around Tokyo's downtown Shibuya area, where clubs, bars, karaoke, and shopping can be enjoyed 24 hours a day. The look focuses on making the eyes big and bold as well adding flattering facial contouring. The look is not complete without lower lashes and heavy eyeliner that makes the eyes look more doe-eyed. The nose and cheekbones are highlighted to create a slimmer illusion as well as depth.

Lolita is one of the most well known genres of Japanese street fashion. In the context of this look, 'Lolita' relates to the innocent, pure qualities of this style. Wearers don outfits inspired by Victorian or Rococo era fashion, complete with frills, exaggerated bows, lace, and other sweet accessories. Hair is long and lush, and make-up is doll-like and fresh looking, sometimes enhanced with extra flourishes such as face stickers, diamantes or other adhesive gems.
Image Credit: Sandra Hadi and Tamara Gitter
A fairytale variant of the Classic Lolita look, Sweet Lolita look is very soft, feminine and innocent. Pinks and dark brown are usually the most popular colour choices for the eye makeup, and pink round blushes and soft lips create a more dolly look. Long but non-dramatic upper lashes are the perfect option for this look and the lips are usually plump and glossy.

In the Singleton interview, GZ says of Twin Tree: "Goes in, cuts through the middle of my neighborhood." That seems like a pretty strong indication that he might think of the street as a "cut-through."
perhaps it was to somewhat avoided admitting he couldn't think of the street name.
It doesn't seem that way to me. For that, I would at least need some indication that Zimmerman, or anyone, uses the expression 'cut-through' to mean a street.
Verb 1. cut through - travel across or pass overcut through - travel across or pass over; "The caravan covered almost 100 miles each day"http://www.thefreedictionary.com/cut+through
Webster's Third International, 2002suspect n : one who is suspectedsuspect vb 2 : to imagine (one) to be guilty or culpable on slight evidence or without proof
sus·pi·ciousadjective \sə-ˈspi-shəs\Definition of SUSPICIOUS1: tending to arouse suspicion : questionable <suspicious characters>2: disposed to suspect : distrustful <suspicious of strangers>3: expressing or indicative of suspicion <a suspicious glance>
The city says it receives the most complaints from residents on motorists' use of these four cut-throughs:
Try Googling "cut-through street"Or read this article:QuoteThe city says it receives the most complaints from residents on motorists' use of these four cut-throughs:
A cut-through street is a local street used by motorists to cut through from one main thoroughfare to another to avoid traffic lights or congestion.
My guess is he just called the whole walkway the "dog walk," without necessarily thinking of it as separate components.
Zimmerman wasn't asked where he wanted to meet the police until later in the call.
He might have said 'best address' because Martin wasn't there, or because Martin was in motion and Zimmerman couldn't anticipate where he would be by the time the police arrived.
I just don't see any reason to associate the address Zimmerman volunteered at the start of the call with his own location. He might have said the same thing, regardless of where he himself was located.
The very next line from the exchange was this:He seems somewhat liberal with his use of the term "cut through", so I'm not sure if the portion of the transcript you provided really clarifies much.
its seems much more logical that his use of "cut through" in answering a direction question as to what address he is parked in front of, is in reference to the street that his vehicle was parked on.
The truck was parked on the street, not in front of the street.
I am pretty sure GZ parked on a street and in front of an address. Unfortunately the house faced the other direction . . .
Does anybody have any more information on how long GZ was on hold, in queue, or otherwise delayed in getting through directly to the non-emergency dispatcher upon first calling them?

I just creamed my pants. Why, you might wonder?
I - for once - was not watching some educational title like "Private Indecency", "Barely Legal 16" or "Wild Flower", but I was watching the final trailer (in 640x480 format no less) for The Matrix : Reloaded.
Will it be a box office hit? Yes, no doubt about that, but I'm not sure it'll generate the same hype and raised eyebrows the first one did. After all, no one had any idea what the Matrix was, but now we do. Or at least, we think we figured it all out.
More action, more special effects and more bad guys. That's what I expect to get from The Matrix : Reloaded. But... I could be wrong. Maybe there is more than the eye can see. Of course, Neo gets Trinity, the sexy woman in the catsuit. There's more to movies than just fat paychecks, right, Johnny Mnemonic?
Off to do laundry now.

Customer reviews for Fleshlight USB Powered Hole Warmer
Bought this for my collection of fleshlights. It's exactly what I've been waiting for - superb to add some heat in to the equation, don't feel like I'm banging a corpse anymore!Review by:
Best accessory for my fleshlight flight. Comes with a mains (euro type) adapter for the USB cable, but to be fair to Bondara, the box is factory sealed by the manufacturer and retailer would not of known this.
I've tried it and it really does make the fleshlight feel like the real thing.
Due to the amount of current this product needs, I would use the mains adapter rather than a usb port from a laptop. I would personally stay clear from the cheapo hole warmers from ebay as they are not subject to the American/British safety standards and may overheat.

Shape Up Or Leave
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has recently released the result of its audit of mining operations in the Philippines. The said audit intended to "determine the adequacy and efficiency of environmental protection measures" of the mining companies involved, as stated in Memorandum Order No. 2016-01.
A total of 30 mining companies were ordered to suspend their operations for failure to comply with existing regulations and protocols, and these included Palawan-based Berong Nickel Corporation and Citinickel Mines. The oldest operating mining company in Palawan, Rio Tuba Nickel Mining Corporation, was able to pass the standards of DENR.
Not surprisingly, DENR's audit earned raised eyebrows from the mining community, particularly those who were severely affected by the Department's suspension orders. Many claimed that the audit is unfair and merely superficial because it failed to bring out the positive impact of mining activities.
Although there is no law barring these companies from expressing their discontent, none of these negative reactions can dispute the fact that the present DENR team, headed by Secretary Gina Lopez, is showing a good start in running after erring mining companies. Raising the standards for mining operations, and actually implementing the penalties due for those who fall short to such regulations, has long been overdue for the mining industry, especially in light of the endless issues associated with it.
It will indeed be naïve to ignore the role of mining and other extractive industries in the national economy, but to remain in denial that it is terribly corrupted and skewed towards aggressive profit-making is an insult to the nation's collective intelligence. The industry is riddled with players who keep on bending the law and putting greed over the welfare of the environment — waiting for improvements does not mean the government should keep allowing the safety of the communities and of the natural environment to be continually compromised.
This publication recognizes that there are mining companies who do strive to bring economic empowerment, among other benefits, to their communities. However, their existence, no matter how lauded, does not cancel out the violations and abuses perpetuated by the industry's 'rotten eggs', whose utmost interest seems to be money at the expense of the people and the environment. DENR's audit is sending a strong message to these companies who seem to have grown comfortable with the idea that they are above the law: do better and comply beyond what is required by the law. Or face the consequences.

Covered Calls
Selling Covered Calls Out of the Money
Situation - A forex options trader owns a spot position in the GBP/JPY (for simplicity 1 regular lot) that you bought at 211.00. The pair has moved up 200 pips but is stalling at resistance at 213.00 you think it will stall for a week or so then continue higher but you want to profit from this situation.
Action - Sell a covered call at a strike price of 213.00 out 7-10 days to expiration, estimated premium would be about 2.00 which means:
You are currently up about 200 pips on your spot position so this is $2000 in profit ($10 payout for simplicity), you get a premium of 2.00 which is another $2000 in profit. You just doubled your profit and are now guaranteed $4000 in profit if the GBP/JPY continues higher or stays just below 213.00.
After you sell the calls out of the money there are three possible outcomes:
First possibility - The GBP/JPY consolidates below 213.00 for a couple of days but continues higher (into the blue area on the image below)) and you take no further action in your account. Your profit limit has a ceiling of $4000, if the GBP/JPY spot position continues higher you cannot profit from this and you are called out of your spot position at expiration. Maximum profit is $4000. Called out means that your GBP/JPY spot position will be removed from your account after expiration, you no longer own the GBP/JPY spot position after expiration, you were called out.
In the image above the yellow area is out of the money and the blue area is in the money.
Second Possibility - The GBP/JPY drops unexpectedly, so you need to know your break even point because you own a spot position. Break even calculation, you bought the GBP/JPY at 211.00 and it is at 213.00, which is 200 pips of profit ($2000) after you sell the calls your breakeven price goes from 211.00 to 209.00. The selling of the call protects you by an additional 200 pips. You can install a price alarm and stop order at 209.00 to notify you of the price drop and subsequent liquidation of your spot position, you can also buy back your calls at that point.
Third Possibility - If the GBP/JPY tays below 213.00 (stays in the yellow area in the image above) until expiration then starts to rise you keep the $2000 premium and additional profit from the GBP/JPY spot position rising. Your cost basis is now 209.00 and the trade it can get extremely profitable here.
You can also do the exact opposite of this trade and sell covered puts. In this case you would be selling the GBP/JPY then selling a covered put out of the money in a profitable sell position.
Selling Covered Calls In the Money and Buy-Writes
Situation: You are a little late coming to the computer for the main trading session but the GBP is strengthening across the board and is starting a new move.
Action: Buy 1 regular lot of the GBP/USD at 1.9800 and sell covered calls at a strike price of 1.9750 for two weeks out. Estimated premium is 90 pips. $900 goes into your account. Check quotes it could be slightly lower. By comparison selling calls at 1.9800 would give you a $600 premium. In the image below the yellow area is out of the money and the blue area is in the money.
After you sell the calls out of the money there are three possible outcomes:
1. The GBP/USD continues higher, you keep $400 net premium.
2. The GBP/USD goes sideways but stays above 1.9750. You keep $400 premium.
3. The GBP/USD unexpectedly drops significantly to below 1.9710 which is break even price. You could set a price alarm at 1.9720 and a stop order at 1.9710 for your spot position which is break even on the deal. If the GBP /USD keeps dropping you break even. Break even is 30 pips higher if you had sold calls at 1.9800.

In case you need a refresher, here is Maslow's hierarchy starting with the most basic needs:
· Physiological – breathing, food, water, sleep, homeostasis, excretion
· Safety – security of body, employment, resources, morality, family, health, and property
· Love/Belonging – friendship, family, intimacy
· Esteem – self-esteem, confidence, respect of others, respect by others
· Self-actualization – morality, creativity, problem solving, lack of prejudice, acceptance of facts
I think the best demonstration of Maslow's needs is observing human reaction to environmental chaos – such as Hurricane Katrina. You witness people fighting for food and water and anything else they need in order to survive. It is, in my opinion, why we need the mobilization of external resources – people whose general well-being isn't in jeopardy – to come to the rescue. Because when your basic needs are threatened, you aren't really thinking about how to help other people.
Basic Needs and a Coding/HIM Career
By now, you may be wondering what this has to do with a career in coding. Well, although not as drastic as Katrina, the current economic environment has taken its toll on many. People have lost jobs and that has led to losing homes. People are seeking new professions and going back to school as they've seen their old jobs either dissolve or be outsourced to another country. And to come into a field, like coding or health information management (HIM), which has a need for workers only to find it hard to get a start, how are those people supposed to achieve the top level of self-actualization?
I've read message boards on coding and HIM career websites and talked to countless novices who are trying land their first job – some who are scared for their basic needs. I've talked to managers and debated the issue of hiring new grads. And although I've been accused of being a hopeless Pollyanna, I really do get it – times are tough and employers don't always want to take a risk on a new student. From the novice perspective, it's very difficult to understand how an industry with a need for trained workers isn't more welcoming. From the employers' perspective, everything we do in HIM and coding is surrounded by risk – whether related to submitting claims for reimbursement or releasing protected health information. Employers have been hit by the recession, even in health care, so they will cut dollars where they can in order to cut down on layoffs. One of the first things to go is education and training programs. The good news is there will be increased demands for HIM and coders over the next few years. The hard part is getting started.
That said – and here comes the hopeless Pollyanna part – you must be persistent. If this is what you really want to do, you will find a way to get the experience you need for the dream job you covet. I've blogged about it before, but it bears repeating: start networking. Who you know is so very important.
Ready to go Viral?
While you're working hard and networking to get the recognition you deserve, here is something not to do. Don't spill your feelings in an online forum. I see it all the time. People are frustrated and they want to lash out and vent, but an online forum isn't the right place. You may be sitting alone in your home typing your feelings, but once you submit it online, it's there for the world to read.
And the world includes potential employers.
And they read these sites.
And they don't hire hot heads they think might be HR risks.
Plus, you never know when your post will go "viral." Seemingly innocent communications can turn controversial quickly. This morning's news was about a college student who wrote a thesis-style paper with graphs accounting her romantic encounters with other college students. And she named names. She only emailed it to three friends, but it didn't take long for everyone on campus to see it and now that the story ran on national television, more people will read it. Do you want that kind of exposure?
Don't get me wrong, though, I'm all for venting. Find someone you trust to spill your guts to or vent your frustrations in a private journal. I once knew someone who was under immense pressure and had to maintain a pleasant demeanor in public at all times. She coped by purchasing some juice glasses with happy faces on them and driving to a remote area with a cliff. She would scream and throw the glasses over the cliff and listen to them smash. I have the benefit of being a second generation HIM professional. Even though my mother is retired, she's one of the best sounding boards for me in venting my professional frustrations because she understands the field.
Matchmaking for the Professional
I recently read a novel in which the heroine ran an executive recruitment company. She had a romanticized vision of her job. She saw it as a matchmaking business – except instead of matching two soul mates, it's about matching the person to the right employer. Her colleagues thought she was shallow and nuts. I thought she was brilliant. If you think about it, interviewing is like dating, albeit a lot less personal. And the same traits that make a person a miserable dater make them a miserable interviewee. You want to come across as confident (not desperate), intelligent (but not cocky), and knowledgeable about who you are, what strengths you can bring to the relationship, and where you want to be in the future. At the same time, you don't want to tell them everything about your history in the first meeting.
So do what you need to do to maintain your basic needs so you can find your employment soul mate – or at least the employment version of Mr./Miss-You'll-Do-For-Now. That may mean taking a non-health care related job to make money and keep a roof over your head while you search for the job you want, but remember to take care of yourself so you can acquire the confidence you need for self-actualization – and remain positive!

Do you know that the more you are active, the higher the fertilizing capacity of your semen?
Once people believed that the man who wants to conceive a child should "cherish" his sperm and not to waste it on sex, except in those days, when a woman has ability to conceive, because the accumulation of sperm in men increases the likelihood of conception during sexual intercourse. However, recent studies show the opposite. The research during which fertilizing ability of semen samples that were taken from more than 6000 men were regularly investigated, and it was found that abstinence from sex affects the quality of sperm to a large extent.
There is simple explanation of this fact. As it turns out, the longer the sperm found in the male body, the longer it contacts with various substances, which have the negative impact on our bodies, in particular, cigarette smoke and toxic elements contained in air, water and food products. All of these toxins accumulate in the testes, where – until the moment of ejaculation – have contact of these substances with the sperm adversely affecting the quality of the latter.
Besides, the research showed in spite of that while long-term abstinence from sex promoted the increasing in the volume of seminal fluid, the quality of the sperm had steadily dropped to as the duration of abstinence increased.
The conclusion is: the more often a man has sex, the higher the quality of his sperm.
And it is true the opposite: a man who does not have sex regularly, thereby adversely affecting the quality of their sperm.
And did you know that in order to be able to continue to have sex until gray hairs, it is necessary to have sex constantly?
Until we are relatively young, we think that we have no reason to worry at this field: the organism is in a good order, we are able to have sex when we want it, and therefore can sometimes refuse intimacy under various pretexts: "I have a head ', "tired", "got at work", "financial problems" and so on … there is always an excuse. The regularity of sexual intercourse affects the ability to continue relations in old age, just as the women's regular breast feeding of the baby affects on the length of the lactation period.
Similarly the ability of the men to implement sex depends on the frequency of intercourse. Men who have sex regularly, remain appropriate physical capabilities till 80-85-year-old age.
The reason lies in the effect of a simple physiological mechanism: the body does not tend to waste spending power. It produces only what it needs. Once the body realizes that it is no longer has the necessity to produce the sex hormones, it stops doing this.
Sexual health has been in demand at all times. This is the basic reason why pressing "penis büyütme egzersiz" issue is quite a sought for query on the Internet. Please go to this site where there are lots of info about ilaçsız penis büyütme and means for it.

SANFORD G. KULKIN, Ph.D.
President, The Institute for Motivational Living, Inc.
CEO, PeopleKeys, Inc.
Director, Creative Corporate Consulting, Ltd.
Chairman of the Board, The Bair Foundation
You turned on your water this morning and probably didn't say, "Thank you, Sandy!" You listened to your favorite inspirational music on the way to the office and probably didn't think, "Good work, Dr. Kulkin." You probably took the trash out last week and didn't even consider who might have made your life a little easier, or at least a little cleaner.
Dr. Sanford "Sandy" Kulkin worked with a 120-year old water company to develop a system for new hiring techniques that assured good customer service to over 20 million customers. Sandy came up with a creative marketing strategy that helped take a music company public and become one of the world's largest independent distributors of music. He even worked to ensure the survival of one of the country's largest garbage disposal companies ("environmental organizations" to be politically correct) when their CEO became critically ill and needed to enact a succession plan years ahead of schedule.
Don't feel bad if you didn't know any of these facts, because to the hundreds of thousands that have attended Sandy's conferences, to the 20,000+ consultants Sandy has personally worked to train, he is simply "our friend, Sandy!"
Working with many of the leading Fortune 500 companies to create unique marketing and human capital strategies is not what brings joy to Sandy. It is not getting a standing applause from 10,000 people who came to hear words of empowerment that might transform their businesses, organizations, or personal lives. It is all about the individual lives and the positive changes they share. Like the woman who is now the VP of Training at one of the world's largest organizations who shares,
"I was going to quit my job 10 years ago because I lost the desire to even get out of bed in the morning. I heard you speak and you took time to share with me afterward and encourage me to face a difficult situation at work and persevere until I saw positive change. You took time to follow up, and I listened and now I am in charge of all the people who used to make my life difficult!"
These kinds of testimonies are the norm, not the exception, when Sandy comes to town. A high-power government official says, "I brought you in to solve a problem at the Treasury…you did that but more importantly you helped me gain a relationship with my son who hadn't spoken to me in months."
Sandy is a visionary entrepreneur who founded The Institute for Motivational Living in 1983. IML a training, consulting and publishing company designed to help people communicate better and work together more effectively. With his experience in behavioral and motivational application, Sandy has become a nationally recognized expert in helping corporations successfully expand their marketing capabilities. Sandy's corporate client list includes organizations such as: AT&T, Aramark, IBM, Kodak, MCI, Phillips Petroleum, U.S. Navy, U.S. Treasury Department, United Airlines, US Airways, and Wal-Mart Corporation.
The Institute is today one of the world's largest publishers of customized behavioral and motivational instruments and has translated materials distributed in over 15 languages, including Chinese, Thai, Greek, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, & Farsi, to name a few.
For many years, Dr. Sanford (Sandy) Kulkin has traveled throughout the United States and abroad imparting the principle "where there's agreement, there's power" to corporations and individuals for their greater effectiveness. A highly sought after speaker and consultant, Sandy uses a unique blend of humor, personal experience, and his vast knowledge of applied behavior to help organizations achieve their corporate goals. Literally thousands of people and companies have experienced significant, positive changes in their lives as a direct result of Sandy's training and consulting.
In 1983, Dr. Kulkin founded The Institute for Motivational Living, a training, consulting, and publishing company designed to help people communicate better and work together more effectively. Since founding the Institute, Sandy has trained over 20,000 consultants and trainers in the use of behavioral principles and cutting-edge consulting techniques. With his experience in behavioral and motivational application, Sandy has become a nationally recognized expert in helping corporations successfully expand their marketing capabilities.
Sandy has developed three college-level courses and has authored a unique book for married couples, Body and Soul. This book is a guide to understanding how an individual's distinct personality affects relationships.

Awards season regular Michelle Williams is in talks for one of the lead roles opposite Tom Hardy and Riz Ahmed in Sony Pictures' upcoming Spider-Man spin-off movie about fan-favourite villain Venom.
Other than Hardy, who will play the title character and alter ego Eddie Brock, character details are being kept under lock and key by the studio, but Ahmed and Williams are top names to have attached to a project with a shaky history.
Sony has set the film, which will be called Venom, a release date of 5 October 2018.
Venom is the name of an alien 'suit' called a symbiote that first attached itself to Peter Parker's Spider-Man in 1984, before splitting off and finding a new host in Eddie Brock, who relished its malicious streak.
As Venom, who debuted in 1988, Eddie and symbiote have toed the line between villain and antihero, often clashing with Spider-Man, but also clashing with Carnage, another symbiote that found a host in psycho serial killer Cletus Kasady.
It had been rumoured that Riz Ahmed might be playing Carnage, but there are conflicting reports. All we do know, courtesy of Variety, is that sources have claimed the Brit will play a "popular Marvel Comics character".
Michelle Williams is best known for her Oscar-nominated work in dramas; Brokeback Mountain, Blue Valentine, My Week with Marilyn and Manchester by the Sea. She has yet to win, but it's really only a matter of time for the talented star.
She has typically steered clear of big budget fare, with her only notable blockbuster being Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and the Powerful opposite James Franco and Rachel Weisz.
One character Williams could be playing is Anne Weying, Eddie Brock's ex-wife who later bonds with the symbiote to become She-Venom.
Venom is being directed by Zombieland's Ruben Fleischer from a script written by Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg. No other casting announcements have been made, but with just over a year until the film is due for release, more news should be coming fairly soon.
Confusingly, the film will have no connection to Tom Holland's Spider-Man and the Marvel Cinematic Universe he exists in. Instead it will be set in its own continuity, which Sony hopes to expand with more spin-offs.
