Chicken in the face I had to go to bloody iceland the other day as the missus wanted a load of frozen stuff for the weekend, I hate the place! Anyway the que at the tills was huge as usual and they only had 2 open, nightmare! Suddenly I spotted a guy opening a third checkout so over I rush to try and get out of the hell hole. Some bloke who was in front of me with his shopping (usual council shit, must have been giro day) turns round and jokingly says "Fuck me how desperate are you to be served" to which I joked back "you snooze you lose mate" he responded with something which was equally witty. I then thought to myself have I forgotten anything so mumbled the shopping list semi out loud to try and remember, the same bloke spins round and says "Do me a favour and hurry up and get out of my face". Before I could reply some Neanderthal behind me pushed past, grabbed a frozen chicken from my trolley and smashed me in the face! Next thing I remember is waking up surrounded by Iceland workers.

couple of weeks. He'd watched her for months before he'd built up the courage to take action after that evil witch had gone after the only person he cared about. It had sent him over the edge. In a way, he'd hoped that someone would stop him -- the cops, a random stranger walking past -- but nobody did. They'd all been deaf, dumb and blind to his intentions. His senses had been heightened during the time he'd stalked his prey. Everything tasted better and smells were so much more potent. Every sound was amplified as he followed her around Sunnyside. Her block of flats was only a block away from where he lived. She'd been too drunk to even notice when he walked up behind her in her own flat. She'd left the door unlocked in her drunken state. But then it had become messy. She'd turned around at the wrong moment, which had been a surprise for both of them. Even in her drunken state she'd managed to put up a fight. She'd made him work for it. The fight had been over so quickly. Too quickly. None of it had gone the way he'd envisaged. He'd wanted to savour every moment and had planned it all out in his head, only to be disappointed. He'd thought he would feel more, that he'd feel some guilt or remorse. His lack of emotion was the only thing that had grieved him. He'd hoped to feel more powerful or some | IP | IP DS | 307,612 |
Getting first rank in the class is desired by many students. The truth is that there is no proper alternative to hard work and having a plan. Here are some tips on how to achieve this as best as you can. Be attentive in class . Paying attention is a simple way to do well. Not only will your teacher appreciate it, but it's a surefire way to score well on tests and be able to finish your homework faster. Don't get distracted by anyone going in or out of the class because this may grab your mind out from the studies going on. Take proper notes . You should write anything important down, write to where you can read it, etc. This may seem like a pain but the notes will pay off when you're studying for your next test. 2 Participate . More than just paying attention, participate! Many teachers factor participation into their grading, but even if they don't your participation is a great way to please your teacher by proving that you're paying attention. Moreover, your mind will be less likely to wander if you're constantly looking for ways to participate. 3 Concentrate by sitting next to someone who will not distract you during tasks Be confident when answering questions or making comments. It's okay if you are wrong once in a while. Ask questions . If you don't understand something it's best to get help since when it comes to test time you'll most likely | HI | HI HT | 638,313 |

This Is The Fast I Want "This is the fast I want...." (Isaiah) This is the fast that I want....a fast from violence, to do no harm, have no tolerance for war and to resist by living with passionate devotion to the Word made flesh in all peoples' flesh. I want you to fast from all that causes disrespect, disregard, dissension and despair, arrogrance, derision, scorn and a feeling of self-righteousness. We are to remember that the word 'enemy' is just another name for what we once were with God, but we were embraced in Jesus' passion, death and resurrection. The death of Jesus is the ultimate and extreme expression of the peace of passion spent totally. This is the foundation of other practices. This is the peace of Chrsit, Pax Christi. Begin by "denying your very self" (Mk 8) so you won't deny Christ's peace or do harm or violence to anyone, instead, bow before others, bow down to your knees and serve, and give your life as a ransom for many. This is what it means to be kin to Jesus, to be a disciple. We vow to live under no sign of power but the Sign of the Cross! So we vow -- to practice forgiveness, amnesty reconciliation, mercy, love of our enemies, to love one another as we have been loved by God in Jesus, to live at-one-ment, to live free from fear and hate and do no violence and harm no one, or the earth. | OP | OP RS | 1,725,157 |
Carlo fallacy whereby the roulette wheel is spinning, 12 hasn't come up in the last 38 spins of the wheel, so you assume that 12 must be due to come up, but, of course, the ball doesn't have a memory. There's no reason to suppose that even if it had a memory it would be interested in helping you to win a lot of money, so this is a complete fallacy which you might not make if you weren't committed to the idea of winning.

Still, you have got to be serious about finding the evidence on both sides.

My Nella, my special little bunny, my beautiful perfect yet unique girl will be my constant reminder in life. That it's not about wood floors. No, life is about love and truly experiencing the beauty we are meant to know. And so, we came home... happy . In fact, walking out of the hospital with our new baby girl and our proud new big girl, all crowned up, gripping the handle of the carseat with Daddy...it was just how I had imagined it.

Like so many other corners of the village it might be almost anywhere in Chelsea - discreet, sedate and withdrawn...the quiet of Patchen Place is almost cloistral..." He also draws attention to the "eminent speakability" of Cummings' poems and the precise, rather "un-American" diction in which he delivers them. The poems themselves are fine examples of the satiric and romantic aspects of his work. 'Anyone lived in a pretty how town' is a moving and formally beautiful meditation on the stifling expectations of popular society versus the individual's need for authenticity and love. The relationship of "anyone" and "noone" is set against the "women and men" of the town whose lives are defined by negatives ("they sowed their isn't they reaped their same"). The deliberately simple language and use of refrain gives the poem a fable-like quality and succeeds in being both sophisticated and childlike, a classic Cummings paradox. 'next to of course god America i' is a virtuoso example of monologue written in a sonnet form. Cummings' bravura performance brings out the clichd nature of the old patriot's ramblings: by running together a series of sound-bites Cummings skewers brilliantly the essential meaninglessness of the speaker's political and cultural assumptions. | LY | LY PO | 783,814 |
Flourless Chocolate and Peanut Butter Brownies October 5, 2012 No surprise that these bad boys came about to satisfy a ravenous midnight craving and to alleviate a foul cranky mood. It seems to happen every month. But there are a few other reasons why you should make these brownies at any time. One, because you could never say no to chocolate and peanut butter. Two, because they're ultra fudgy. Three, because they're gluten free (and hazelnut meal trumps flour hands down). Oh and because of the lack of flour, they're not super dense or heavy so you can totally eat more of it before you get sick (yay for shameless gluttony!). Finally, they're so quick and easy to make that even drowsy monkeys can do it. And as if there was any question as to what was going to happen next! Please forgive me, but I just had one of those weeks. Preheat oven to 170C and lightly grease and line a 20cm square tin. In a pan over low heat, melt the butter, peanut butter, sugar and vanilla extract then mix together until smooth. Remove from heat, add the chopped chocolate, leave to sit for a minute for it to melt then stir to combine. Beat in the eggs then the hazelnut meal. Pour into tin then bake for about 15-17 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

so. Although Iran continues to enrich uranium at low levels, U.S. officials say they have not seen evidence that has caused them to significantly revise that judgment. Senior U.S. officials say Israel does not dispute the basic intelligence or analysis. But Israel appears to have a lower threshold for action than Washington. It regards Iran as a threat to its existence and says it will not allow Iran to become capable of building and delivering a nuclear weapon. Some Israeli officials have raised the prospect of a military strike to stop Iran before it's too late. It's unclear how much access U.S. intelligence has in Iran, a problem that bedeviled efforts to determine whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. The assessment that Saddam Hussein had secretly amassed stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and was seeking to build a nuclear weapon, cited by the George W. Bush administration to justify the invasion, turned out to be wrong. Iran barred inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency , the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog group, from visiting Parchin, a military site, this week to determine whether explosives tests were aimed at developing nuclear technology. An IAEA report in November cited "serious concerns" about "possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program," but did not reach hard conclusions. Another IAEA report is imminent. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , insisted Wednesday that Tehran had no intention of producing nuclear weapons.

cluster to their new home before the cluster can become full active again. I think I got that right. That means, although you can replace nodes, you can't elastically scale without partitioning work. I am not absolutely clear if that means the re-partitioning work can be done on a live system, or not. I would hope it can. That got me thinking. There are other systems that repartition effectively during operation. Algebraic Multigrids used to solve high Reynolds number Eulerian grids repartition to accelerate the solution phase. I wrote a parallel AMG solver to run on Cray T3Ds in 1995. It was fast, efficient with good conversion rates but struggled to beat the Cray vectorised versions of the code base on reasonable sized clusters. There is another. A plant. A plant doesn't shutdown when it adds petals to its flower or leaves to its stem it keeps running (so to speak, I havent seen a running flower since University). The plants domain space that its partitioning is sunlight. As it adds leaves doesn't add leaves as a whole ring, but it adds them one by one to make the most use of the available sunlight without shading other spaces. It doesn't require that the cells from one leaf or petal migrate to the new leaf. In essence a plant has achieved the trick of scaling elastically. How does it do this ?

service more foreign than national interests. For example, the US limits the amount of foreign ownership of its domestic airlines to a maximum of 49%, with a maximum of 25% control. Other countries have similar restrictions. In recent years, four trends had significant consequences over the context in which transport policy takes place: Deregulation and privatization. A more broad focus of policies, particularly in light of intermodalism and multimodalism. A move towards social and political issues behind transport projects as opposed to technical and engineering issues. Globalization increased interactions at the international level, both for freight and passengers. 3. Policy Instruments Governments have a large number of instruments at their disposal to carry out transport policy. Some are direct, such as public ownership, while others are indirect such as safety standards: An extremely important instrument is public ownership . The direct control by the state of transportation infrastructure, modes or terminals is very widespread. Most common is the provision by public agencies of transport infrastructure such as roads, ports, airports and canals. Public ownership also extends to include the operation of transport modes. In many countries airlines, railways, ferries and urban transit are owned and operated by public agencies. Subsidies represent an important instrument used to pursue policy goals. Many transport modes and services are capital intensive, and thus policies seeking to promote services or infrastructure that the private sector are unwilling or unable to provide may be made commercially viable with the aid of subsidies.

While the ECOXBT sound tends to be a bit too "hard" and "cold" for my personal tastes, I have to admit that some music ("Gangnam Style", for example) sounded perfect on the device.

I don't want to do it. I don't want to say goodbye. To go back in the yard and play-- If I could only have another day. I don't want to do it. I don't want to make you cry. To go back On the hill beside the track And try to concentrate. All in all the places that I want to be, No, it shows you that I could not wait. So come back into my arms again. This love of ours, it has no end. I don't want to do it. I don't want to make you cry. { From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/g/george-har\\... } I don't want to do it. I don't want to say goodbye.

work anyway. The employer will have to start again and guess which sex he won't employ? Women voters; So 4 out of 5 people hitting the dole queue are women. But look on the bright side. David Cameron will be parachuting a few well-heeled women into boardrooms to make up the female quota. I'll bet that cheers you up no end as you join the scrum for a few hours on the till at your local Tesco. From the D/M headline can be deduced the fact that the paper would love to see all men offering up their jobs to women,since they wouldn't want to be a drain on the economy the men could then live under a bridge or throw themselves from high cliffs.If they were to do this there would not be a ripple of interest from the media. one of the reasons for this increase is that women who were claiming income support are having to claim job seekers allowance when their youngest child reaches 7 when previously they would have been able to claim income support untill the teenage years. i would just like to be told the truth behind the headlines so much is blamed on the recession when a lot of the time the government is using it as a cover up for all of their shady past and present decisions. As with everything else in life, it isn't considered a problem until it affects women. Despite the deliberately misleading headlines, men still account | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 1,444,027 |
what most people wore, and people think that just having something of blue color is gimping them and everything needs to be purple, this I still do not understand. One of the most excited times my friend had is when he had enough gold to build his Arcanite Reaper on his warrior, which was a very good weapon at the time but fairly expensive to build. Back to these rants that complain about dailies and being forced to do them, would you rather it be like before when people just sat in Org/Shat/Dalaran with nothing to do besides wait on dungeons/raids/pvp? And who is twisting your wrist to do them? I didn't do any dailies on my first character to 90, my priest, I was able to grind out my entire 463 heroic set for shadow and healing both without any of these dailies, and complete raids with fair dps. This is not a day of Sunwell when certain bosses "require" a dps minimum to down, and unless you're committed to progression in heroic raids, it's your play style that will get you through them, not your gear. Gear is great to have, I will be honest and say I love getting gear, shiny and purple, but I also remember a day when i had to work much harder/spent much more time getting shinies and purples... Also another thing I love is some of these new reps, The Tillers...omg, I would have never guessed I would enjoy it as much | ID | ID DF | 234,093 |
create a sense of national identity, creating those symbols, rituals and myths, the beliefs that people would share. Beginning of the 1980s, there's this - what has got to be one of the two or three academic best sellers of all time, Benedict Anderson publishes his book called Imagined Communities, and he basically says, look what really binds us together as peoples is that we never see each other face to face but we imagine that we're part of a community. Part of that imagining is sharing a certain set of symbols, rituals, beliefs. The ultimate test is, am I willing to put down my life for those other people who I've never met?So the focus in studies of nationalism tend to become, in the 198s, more on community, on identity, as opposed to these kinds of notions of mobilising people through organisations, the state and state direction. And so, in this sort of sense, you really are only truly a nation when a substantial number of people within your boundaries in fact actually are aware of each other, share these same set of rituals, myths and beliefs. This is why, if you look at a place like Brazil in the nineteenth century, we say at the end of the nineteenth century 15 million people, many of those people are not even aware that there's a president. They don't know what the Brazilian flag looks like, they don't know the national anthem. So in this sort of sense, many of | SP | SP IT | 3,307,935 |

I was married for about 48 and a half hours, so let me tell ya, you're doing it wrong. Tell that mother-in-law that blah blah blah. Tell him he can't treat you like that, you need to treat him better, never go to bed angry, "I'd NEVER put up with him bowling every week while I'm at home with the kids", if you were being a better wife he wouldn't even have to think about jacking off when you aren't home, he cheated on you with that woman so you just need to pack up and leave his ass, submit, be assertive, be more permissive, be less permissive, don't be so controlling, you gotta get that nipped in the bud.

sure of it. And yet, along comes this idea called Grace to upend all that "as you reap, so you will sow" stuff. Grace defies reason and logic. Love interrupts, if you like, the consequences of your actions, which in my case is very good news indeed, because I've done a lot of stupid stuff. Assayas : I'd be interested to hear that. Bono : That's between me and God. But I'd be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. I'd be in deep s -- -. It doesn't excuse my mistakes, but I'm holding out for Grace. I'm holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I hope I don't have to depend on my own religiosity. Assayas : The Son of God who takes away the sins of the world. I wish I could believe in that. Bono : But I love the idea of the Sacrificial Lamb. I love the idea that God says: Look, you cretins, there are certain results to the way we are, to selfishness, and there's a mortality as part of your very sinful nature, and, let's face it, you're not living a very good life, are you?

with the personal computer division recording the steepest drop at 14 per cent. Revenue from printing fell 5 per cent. HP reported a quarterly net loss of $3.49 a share, versus a profit of $239 million, or 12 cents, a year earlier. Victor Basta, managing director of Magister Advisors, said: "HP's pursuit of a "buy software to get out of hardware" strategy has failed. Autonomy was always an off piste deal. "Many large businesses will do a series of bread and butter mid-sized deals, but in HP's case they went for broke. "HP are clearly on a mission to change but it was essential they worked first to fix the culture and revamp the business before making a game-changing acquisition. "HP's leadership made a huge mistake by attempting to 'fix by buying'. "Autonomy's business is based on a one time software licence model as opposed to a subscription model. "At the time of acquisition it was also growing very fast. Put that speed of growth and the one off sales model together and you have a business that is incredibly difficult to value and very challenging to manage and integrate. "Candidly, it was like putting an 18 year old who just passed their driving instruction behind the wheel of a Ferrari.

Scripting to automate your mindless Android games There's a silly little Android game making some noise on the Interwebs. It's called Curiosity which is a 3D cube with something inside. The thing is, every single pixel on the cube must be clicked in order to get through a layer. There are of course multiple layers, and... well, you get the point. [Stephen] figures this is a perfect thing for a bit of scripting and set out to find a way to automatically play the Android game . As you can see above he's got a pretty good start. To use the script in its current form he finds a part of the cube that is mostly solid green. The Android device is plugged into a computer using the USB cable, and the Android Debug Bridge runs the script. It's amazingly simple, as it uses the monkeyrunner package which comes with the SDK. The proof is there, and it's just a matter of whether or not he wants to spend his time to fully automate the playing of the game . You can see a demo of the script embedded after the break. That was like my adventures with sudoku. I've discovered the game, thought it was nice, played about two games, wrote sudoku solver in php, abandoned sudoku. If there is simple algorithm to solve some game, where is the challenge? So you don't play anything but maybe roleplaying games? After all you can easily automate pretty much every game. | HI | HI HT | 3,178,946 |
EHR System Helps Improve the Quality of Care for Patients: An Interview with Dr. Karen Smith A physician since 1989, Dr. Karen Smith runs a one-physician family medicine practice in Raeford, NC. She credits her electronic health record (EHR) with allowing her to deliver quality care in a rural setting -- and to do it so efficiently that she still has time to be a wife and mother. ONC talked to Dr. Smith about how she uses her EHR system to care for her patients -- whether she's working in the office, supervising laundry detail at home, or traveling out of state. She is also one of the providers featured in ONC's series of print ads highlighting key MUVers -- Meaningful Use Vanguards -- who have adopted certified EHR technology. ONC: Can you tell us about yourself and your practice? Smith: I'm a family physician in a very rural, very small community -- Raeford, NC. We're part of Hoke County, which has only five practicing physicians. I have about 4,000 active patients. I'm also very involved in working with the American Academy of Family Physicians to improve health care in my specialty. ONC: Do you feel your EHR system has made your life easier? Smith: Having a record system that's organized and easily accessible at any time of the day or night is a major benefit for rural physicians. I couldn't do my job without it.

so lazy hypocritical dropouts like your stupid lazy self could feel smug and superior and hypocritical -- until that great day when they are fittingly damned to the outrageous cheering from yours truly. The key to a defensible religion is to base it upon claims that are untestable. Because if it can be tested, someone will test it and disprove it. That's what happened with the creation story, for example- someone tested it and found it to be false. But resurrections, miracle healings, etc., all good, since they are harder to disprove and easier to defend with rationalization. | ID | ID QA | 92,911 |

of the motivations for brands to become an MVNO in order to sell their content and applications, and the pickings start to look extremely thin. The rise of mechanisms to sell content, applications and services through app stores have meant that the motivation for many brands to go to the expense of establishing an MVNO in order to sell their products has eroded. Disney and ESPN High profile failures such as Disney's and ESPN's abandoned MVNOs have been replaced by app store strategies to sell content. McKenzie sees narrowed scope for new MVNOs and thinks that, while MVNOs will continue to exist, new entrants will need to have strong complimentary assets such as a network of retail stores or a means to advertise the service. "Companies that want to target customers don't need to become an MVNO. They can just sell their apps, content and services to the whole population," he adds. "ESPN, for example, had an unsuccessful MVNO in the US but it has now launched a mobile app to sell its content. It hasn't had to go to the expense of building an MVNO to do that. When you own content and want to sell it, you'll go for the biggest audience possible and avoid the complexity of building an MVNO.

Good idea ashes its my thought that they know we're here...have seen the invitations to come on thread...but that they''re in talks. They're very careful about their image....they want to be seen as pro feminist but not TOO pro feminist. They're also afraid of damaging their relationships with their big advertisers....after all...if MN earn x amount from retailers of toys...and they happen to be on our "hit list" then MN could end up losing money. That's possibly why they're taking so long. Be interesting to have a quick check on the advertisers on MN right now...to see if they''re among the worst offenders or not. It's a service which Google offer to websites: websites can use their search for free (I assume) as long as they're happy to tolerate the google ads on the top. It's a money-maker for google of course, and a way for websites to get a decent search for free. The pink bit at the top is paid-for ads (and it effectively costs the advertisers money every time you click on one). It's the same when you use google search: the ads at the top (and on the side) are paid ads.

idea from a continued audience point of view. It means new viewers aren't going to get hooked for episode two, since the connection to the serialized characters is tangential. You do these types of episodes in the middle of the season... not in the opening. I do like the idea of giving other perspectives on the zombie apocalypse, especially if it ends up tying into the main characters' stories. BUT I'm one of those that's liking season 2 more than season 1. I was frustrated with how we were just thrust into this random group of survivors, expected to care about who lives and dies. I didn't give a shit when Amy died. "Oh, she's someone's sister? Shame." "Wild card" episodes would interrupt character development too much. Unless they actually integrated some substantial background. A few seconds of seeing Dale scooping up Amy and Andrea isn't exciting or insightful. Cameos? I'd prefer a 3-4 minute cold open about them instead. Yeah, hanging out on a farm for 5 episodes wasn't what most people expected. It's underwhelming in terms of action.

article whose focus is the deteriorating relationship between Palestinians and Israelis, Ms Sherwood is effectively perpetuating the racist assumption that Palestinians lack moral agency. For the sake of balance, a few inconvenient truths should be considered at this point. Jewish residents in the West Bank live in settlements that comprise less than five percent of the West Bank . Furthermore, Israel has started virtually no new communities in the West Bank in years, having withdrawn completely from the Gaza Strip in 2005. The limited new construction in existing settlements that has taken place in recent years has been within pre-existing boundaries. Under the Oslo Accords, Israel turned over control of all the large Palestinian population centers, leaving more than 95 percent of Palestinian Arabs living under their own leadership. And while Hanan Ashrawi sees IDF footprints in the criminal actions of a few Israeli settlers, the truth is that the Israeli military only reentered PA territory temporarily, during the Second Intifada , in order to protect Israeli citizens by confronting the terrorists at their bases of operation -- inside Ms Ashrawi's beloved Palestinian Authority. Now, no one can deny that the West Bank is in the midst of an economic crisis . UN figures say that unemployment in the West Bank is 17 percent, a figure that may well under-represent the severity of the crisis, given the large numbers of under-employed in the West Bank.

we've had" is saying that we're still human too, even if we just have different tastes in relationships than you do. Even if we're not attracted to who society says we should be. That we don't deserve the pain and suffering. That's basically the Pirate to Modern translation for everyone. That does still exist today. Hiding who you are so that nobody treats you differently. General Comment: Personally I think this song applies to any group peer pressure situation and it talks about perserverence. Take, for example, high school. Many people get teased throughout high school for their sexuality or any number of reasons and I think this song has just put it into the context of pirates. It urges someone to stay true to what they believe in or what they want because although others may persecute for you, this person or thing brings you joy and that is the most important thing in life. Eventually there will be an end to the torture or pressure and until that time you need to stay true to yourself and life will throw obstacles at you but your job is to think of your love and passion and persevere through the torment. I think, although it is seemingly shallow, quite a lot can be read into this song. My Opinion: My take of this song. There are two gay pirates on a ship. They have to hide their affection, but the crew finds out. They torture, torment, and abuse the one | LY | LY SL | 566,777 |

It's Time For MLS To Get Serious About New England Revolution Mention the word contraction in American sports circles and many fans will shudder. It was this word that was mentioned in the mid-90s by Major League Baseball in hopes of dissolving teams in markets that made little money. However, MLB never contracted a team; rather, they expanded the league in Tampa Bay and Arizona. In Major League Soccer, contraction was put into action as the league dissolved two teams in the early part of the century. In 2001, after four seasons of play the league contracted the Miami Fusion and after six years of play the league contracted an MLS original in the Tampa Bay Mutiny. Terrible names aside, the league was losing money each season and was attempting to shake things up. People weren't coming out, and it wouldn't be until the US Men's National Team's successful 2002 World Cup that attendances increased around the league. One of the teams MLS didn't contract, rather, than two Florida/southeast based clubs was the New England Revolution though they may have had reasons to dissolve them at the time. In their first six years of existence the club was quite poor performance wise, though they boasted the likes of Alexi Lalas, Joe-Max Moore and John Harkes, and never progressed past the first round of the MLS play-offs.

The next day my five-year-old daughter knocked on my bedroom door, again with a Saltire in her hand and again I felt elated (though I suspect her mother put her up to it this time). What I knew at that moment (apart from the fact that I would never drink alcohol again) was that everything we had said was true and this was the moment we promised. Nothing was over, nothing real had happened. We just got the right to vote for a Scotland of our choosing. We told people that the real work started only after we could choose and that begins today. They understood their responsibility and the accepted it. Because -- and only because -- we didn't try to patronise them by claiming they would never need to fear anything ever again. We told them we'd be normal, a small country with prospects a wee bit above average and with lots of problems to solve. From there, it was up to them. But -- and its a big but -- we showed them many things that could happen, that could be possible, that Scotland could become but that a Britain dominated by London couldn't.

And he hates having to work as hard as he does, but he wants her to be happy, and at home she is. She hated work, you see, hated the nine to five and loves being at home. "But what they're really defending is their belief that women belong in the home, performing dull domestic tasks for the primary benefit of everyone other than themselves (and mainly their husband)." She would especially hate this comment. The suggestion that her life's work is nothing more than 'dull domestic tasks for the benefit of everyone other than herself'. Frankly, that's condescending, patronizing and judgmental. Again, it was her choice to stay at home, she loves it, she thinks working a nine-to-five is soul destroying. Just because you think looking after the kids and the house is an example of women sticking to archaic stereotypes (and don't pretend that's not what you were saying), doesn't make it so.

For an exception to this see the section on 'Insurance' in the 18+ section of this website. If you apply before you have the test you still have to declare your family history but you won't be automatically denied a policy when you are at 50% or less risk. However you may have to pay higher premiums (monthly payments) because of your risk.

From Alex - Aged 20 Hi Alex, It can be very difficult to live with someone who has the emotional changes that HD can cause. It is a good idea to find a psychologist for support with these issues. As you may already know there is a scheme you can access through your GP called a Mental Health Care Plan. The GP can refer you to a psychologist who is registered with this plan for Medicare and you can claim a rebate from Medicare for part of the cost of the sessions (up to 6 sessions initially or up to 12 if needed). | ID | ID QA | 618,491 |
much so that there are a number of scenes where I can tell who animated it and maybe it's just me but for sure, it's got that organic quality. Also I wanted to bring this 2D sensibility to the posing and the acting. I didn't want any video reference, you know, a lot of time the animator will film themselves acting out and then use it for a foundation. I really discouraged that and I wanted them to draw the poses in a purely cartoon fashion, removing them from the live action sensibility, because to me it should be about the character and the character coming to life. How did working in 3D effect your direction? Was it a consideration throughout? It kinda did and in a funny way it was like a happy accident that when I first started at Sony I did this 3D crafts thing and learned what things do work in 3D and what things don't work in 3D. Luckily the cinematic style that I chose to tell the story in fit with 3D well, very well. You know with 3D over the shoulder shots don't look very good and we have barely any. We really staged it like a Warner Bros cartoon where there's two characters and the animation gets to really shine.

impotence of his case. He says that the U.S. government has "accused" Iran of attempting to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington and that Iran has been "implicated" in terror attacks against Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia. But "accused" and "implicated" betray the lack of a case against Iran. Did Canada expel the Iranian diplomats over accusations and implications? But it's worse than that, because the accusations and implications have been exposed, not as more than that, but as less. There is a consensus among experts that Iran had nothing to do with the attempted assassination on U.S. soil of the Saudi ambassador. It is very hard to see what Iran would have to gain by assassinating the Saudi ambassador on U.S. soil other than American strikes, as in past cases of countries who plotted against U.S. targets. As an Iran analyst with the Rand Corporation has said, the plot "doesn't seem to serve Iran's interests in any conceivable way ... [but] would put all of Iran's objectives and strategies at risk." Several experts on the Iranian Quds forces that have been accused of the assassination attempt have pointed out that it is unlikely and uncharacteristic of them to rely on an untrained and untested used cars salesman and a non-Islamic criminal drug gang to carry out such a sensitive operation. Former CIA Middle East officer Robert Baer says the plot does not "measure up to Iran's unsurpassed skill in conducting assassinations."

been replicated by other artists of similar calibre in these countries, raises interesting questions for music marketing professionals. Rather than setting a release date after the bulk of promotion, it often makes more sense for Hybris to get albums out as soon as they kick-off their promo run. They want listeners, not buyers. Hybris' Mattias Lvkvist is convinced that this is one of the reasons why Jonathan Johansson's album became such a success. "With Spotify," he says, "you can see a very strong connection between an album that's been getting a good welcome by the media and the streams. Going from reading the daily magazine reviews and clicking on your computer once to hear the music is a very easy process. [...] In a way we see a situation returning to how things were in the 90s, with media (traditional as well as new media) playing a bigger role and where sales charts better reflects what people listen to." The market has become the pin-up of the access model and Lvkvist claims "If you are on the top list of the 100 most played at Spotify you are a star. Since they have such a massive number of users in Sweden, it's the first service since the arrival of the CD that has made itself culturally relevant."

well can protect the brain from neural loss caused by HD and maybe delay symptom onset and disease progression. So there are a few factors which are variable regarding your boyfriend: 1. He may not test gene-positive (50% chance) which means he will not have to worry about HD symptoms himself or passing the faulty gene on to any children he has. 2. If he is gene-positive his CAG repeat length could be less, more or the same as his fathers which will contribute to his age of symptom onset. 3. The age of symptom onset may be affected by the lifestyle he leads. 4. The age of symptom onset may be affected by other genes. Thanks again for your question and hopefully our response was helpful.

Symptoms become noticable when a certain amount of neural death has occurred. HD can occur at any age, but most often comes on between 35 & 55. The size of the gene fault (the number of CAG repeats) is a major factor, but not the only factor. Current research is investigating other influences on the age at which people get HD might be, which includes the effects of other genes & perhaps also lifestyle. | ID | ID QA | 618,491 |

In response to el-Yafi's Facebook protest, which as of Friday had garnered more than 4,500 "likes," Kenny reportedly said that "we are deeply troubled that we offended anybody by doing this buffet item, particularly considering that our reason for doing the international buffet each day is to celebrate cultural diversity."

Minister of Fuel and Power and the then and present Minister of Health. In spite of those threats, the other House, acting in accordance with their constitutional right, met during the Recess. That angered, as one might suppose it would, the thwarted spirit of the Lord President, the Leader of the House, and he gave a considerable hint that that was why they were marked down for punishment. At any rate, it may have been quite an important factor. The shadow deepened, the economic difficulties of the Government became greater, their popularity with the electorate, to put it mildly, was not growing, and it became desirable to consider what could be done about things. Remember, the report of the Boundary Commission was looming up, meaning probable loss, when carried through, at the next General Election of 20 or 30 seats to Socialists. Clearly, what was to be done about that was this: To get rid of internal disputes in the party 252 over economic matters, mobilise all the back benchers who think in catchwords, and pick a quarrel with the other House.

This old Tuscan farmhouse, which sits in total seclusion in the midst of its own private olive grove and lemon trees, has been beautifully restored by its owners, who have created a comfortable, informal yet stylish home. The ground floor also contains a separate cloakroom and laundry. The house is on three floors, with lots of steps. One long partially covered stair leading to the top floor and two small stairs connecting interior floors. It is suitable for mobile elderly but probably not recommended for small mobile children. The hallmark of the house is its unpretentiousness. The outside steps lead you up to a large, light and comfortably furnished sitting room on the first floor. A few steps lead you up to a large landing off which run two twin bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a single bed in the landing often used by the children of the family. The second floor is also accessed by the same outside staircase. There is a spacious study, which leads to a private dressing room and master bedroom with en suite bathroom. The master bedroom enjoys lovely open views across the olive groves. From the study a few stairs up lead to an identical landing as on the first floor.

the list only after they have been carefully assessed as representing the best examples of the world's cultural and natural heritage. Australia currently has 19 properties on the World Heritage List. Only the Australian Government can nominate Australian places for entry on this list. The World Heritage Committee assesses nominated places against set criteria and makes the final decision as to the places that are included on the World Heritage List. There are many benefits to a property being inscribed on the World Heritage List, including increased tourist visitation, increases in employment opportunities and income for local communities, and better management and protection of the place. Listing is often accompanied by greater scrutiny of a place, given its internationally acknowledged importance. To qualify for inscription on the World Heritage List, nominated properties must have values that are outstanding and universal. The Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention provide guidance to the World Heritage Committee in deciding which nominations should be included on the List. These guidelines state that nominations should be based on cultural, natural and/or mixed cultural and natural criteria. | IN | IN DT | 597,806 |

Even into retirement. But if all of the challenge has gone, you probably feel like you're on autopilot and just drifting towards a humdrum and intellectually barren future. In which case you need a change, but it may be a promotion or other advancement with your company or business that would fit the bill. Using my career search advice you can put together a good case with your present employer to re-evaluate or redesign your job and create the interest and challenge that you once had. Has Your Career Already Changed? Maybe you have had a change already; you've been promoted or started a new job, but you're not getting on as well as you expected. Use the same career search guidance to help build up your confidence and tackle your employer to give you the support you need. Career Management is your responsibility and if you don't speak up your employer may assume you're happy. OK so now careers search is on your agenda, you have the time and you are ready to get started.

That is the ideal it was built upon and its people have generally strived towards. It would be thought that the President of the USA would take the opportunity to proclaim it and promote that ideal in regards to Iran. One forceful speach is required at this point. It is something various of his predecessors understood and attended to when the opportunity presented itself. Interestingly this twisted Obama creature (who is on record as wanting to dispense with the Constitution he was sworn to uphold) fails to grasp the opportunity to speak up in favour of freedom. He fails to get out of his kennel and tell the World that it isn't OK for a pack of insane old mullahs to ruin other people's lives. He fails to tell the World that it isn't right for tyrants to use threats, force and murder to attain power over others. He fails to tell both groups of power mongers in Iran that their antics are in direct contradiction to the freedom of the citizens and that, therefore, they have no legitimacy. He fails to tell them to step aside. His failure is that failure to speak up. What does Obama stand for? Clearly he doesn't stand for freedom.

(as in al-Haakimiyyah, upon their narrow constricted understanding) by the ideological and practical tools of Western philosophies (represented in the approaches of Banna and Qutb) whilst shunning the methodology of the Prophets in calling to Allaah. It's too boring and dry for them, just as the revealed texts were too boring and dry for the Ahl al-Kalaam, a hindrance more than an advancement. In the same way, following the methodology of the Prophets in calling to Allaah is a hindrance rather than an advancement to these people, as their actions clearly give testimony to. But the main point in this post was to say that alhamdulillaah, I have not seen except good remarks from all directions and quarters for Abu Talhah. I have not seen negative remarks or statements from anyone thus far (with one exception) and everyone has asked for mercy upon him and his family, has acknowledged his virtue and excellence and even from the opposers are those who acknowledge that they have benefited from him and his works, and they have nothing but good to say. However one remark was brought to my attention yesterday, which I would like to address in order to exonerate the honour of our brother Abu Talhah (rahimahullaah), and this will be done on an appropriate platform in due course inshaa'Allaah. BarakaAllahu Feekum for sharing all these stories with us. We all have to thank people like Abu Talha for their great effort. May Allah have mercy on him and his wife. | ID | ID DP DF | 232,176 |

it. i keep doing this until it tastes right and then steep the liquid. You can usually tell if you are well under on a flavour and if the manufacturer recomends e.g. 5% I start at 4.5% and work up. Sometimes they are hopelessly out on what is required - in both directions. It is a lot easier to add concentrated flavour than faff around adding base and dilutents. Apart from tobaccos, I will always add 2.5% ethyl maltol to my base - this smells like candyfloss but sweetens very little - what id does do is 'pop' flavours - sometimes this is very pronounced - things that are flat or dull come to life with it. On eliquid base - I buy the 52 mg PG base from cig-eliquid and cut it 50/50 with his aqueous VG. This gives me a base of 26 mg per ml. I mix with this and most of my final product comes out in the 17- 24 mg / ml region typically at about 70% PG to VG ish. Most of the concentrates you get will be PG based and my ethyl maltol crystals I mix in PG too. VG tastes sweeter, but is thicker and slightly less good at flavour absorbtion - it gets there but usually I find it needs a longer steep and a little more concentrate.

On august 25, 2012 somebody broke into my locker and took all the cash, cellular phone and my watch. The receptionist was very insensitive when I reported the incident and told me they cannot guarantee the security of the lockers. I asked her if this is the first time they have such an incident. She answered that it is not the first time but it doesn't happen often. I asked her when the last time they had a rubbery in the lockers was and she told me that happened 3 months ago. This is unbelievable for a serious service provider company. They are OK that every 3 months their clients could be rubbed. They do not feel responsible or obliged to improve the security.

claim perfect pitch is some sort of qualification, I will too, since you like to use head-fi's reviews. You're dismissing one online reviewer and endorsing another - at the end of the day it's all just guys with opinions and keyboards. It's guys with opinions and different backgrounds in terms of what they own and what they have heard, hence the comment from Mic Cullen about people here on OzBargain knowing what is truly high SQ. Yeah I like this product and I will endorse it if I choose to, people can listen or they can ignore me at their prerogative. It is exactly what I did, without researching further, because I saw your 'urinate over cx300s' comment and decided to try out the m4s. As I said, not sure if your comment is based purely on the cx150, cx300 and a pair of m4s that you have owned, or maybe the m4s I currently own are duds (and if this is the case, looks like I'm not the only one, quality control issues maybe), or they really are just bad, talked up by people who only own $30 audio equipment (low standards/expectations).

being a burden for their families, resulting in many suffering in silence. It's for reasons such as this that Team v devised the 'End Loneliness' campaign. The campaign will see hundreds of young volunteer develop a range of projects and other initiatives to raise the profile of elderly isolation and develop inter generational activities that help to tackle loneliness. Such projects can include holding social events, visiting people in their homes, or even helping an older person to get online and make new connections through the web. Although it's early days, the campaign is starting to have an impact. Team v volunteer Sarah from Leeds has managed to gain the support of her local MP Hilary Benn. He attended one of her many inter-generational events, which gave older people the opportunity to talk to him directly about local services and other issues that affect them. Benn pledged his support and has also tweeted about the campaign helping to raise awareness. Last week, Sarah also attended the Leeds Older Peoples Forum AGM and met the Chief Exec of Age UK who has asked her to develop some intergenerational activities alongside Age UK. Elderly isolation is a major problem in the UK and it's set to grow over the coming years unless the next generation does something about.

During the War years Cathie had met up with the charming Bill Roxborogh, and they were married in the Registry Office at Te Aroha on 4 January 1944 and lived in Lorne Street Morrinsville. I was born 14 months later, but the marriage struggled and Bill had left home by the time I was 4. Many years later it was with Mum's help that I was able to put together the puzzle of the name Roxborogh , and the criminal career of Bill's father whose real name was actually Chapman. It was a story Bill himself knew practically nothing about, but it explained a lot. Cathie could not really cope with Bill, or I suspect for a long time, Bill with himself, yet she made contact with the children from his last and eventually happy marriage, and shared my joy in forming a friendship with Bill's youngest son, Philip and his wife Tania in recent years.

require systematic initiatives to reduce imprisonment. Action to reduce pre trial detention and develop alternatives to custody is much needed particularly in low income countries, but as Fair Trials International has shown in Europe too. But a more straightforward measure is often overlooked which would bring more certain falls in prison numbers in any jurisdiction rich or poor- reducing sentence lengths. A parliamentary commission has recently agreed that the prison year in Lebanon should consist of nine rather than twelve months and reductions in prison terms ("rebaja de penas" ) have been established in several Latin American countries. Calculating resulting sentence lengths in a way that is fair to current as well as future prisoners is no doubt a challenge. But one way or another getting to grips with sentence inflation is long overdue. Notwithstanding the political and practical difficulties, the jubilee year could be an opportunity if not to offer an amnesty then at least to start considering a more generous regime of early release after years of longer and longer sentences. | OP | OP OB | 687,923 |

The first in the series, 'The Case of the Missing Servant', was named by the New York Times as a Notable Crime Book and given starred reviews by Kirkus, Library Journal and Booklist.

if, say, the Toothy Moose were replaced with a vapo lounge, the violent crime rate in downtown Halifax would drop significantly (stoners are much less prone to causing trouble than drunks). Although I don't advocate smoking marijuana, just as I'm against smoking tobacco because of how carcinogenic it is, vaporising is most definitely the healthy alternative since you avoid combustion of the herb; although, the least toxic form of ingestion would be via THC-infused foods, which is currently being marketed for seniors with arthritis (and younger people just wanting to get high, I suppose ) I hope pot is eventually legalised and then heavily taxed just like alcohol is. The war on drugs has been a total failure, and there are more humane, more economical methods for dealing with addicts that doesn't involve pushing drug profits into the underground where gang activities can flourish.
