Hello everyone. I am The_Master_Riddler and I have the second edition to my mystery debate. I will post a mystery in round two. Con will ask me 3 questions. Ask me any more and it is a total forfeit. I will answer those questions in round three and con will answer who killed the person. I will post the rest of the riddle at the end of the debate and award con with a win or lose. If he wins, then he gets all 7 points. However, if he loses, I get all 7 points. First round is acceptance.
Any 3 questions is too vague a request.
What topic?
"Oh, man. I need to get my girlfriend a gift for our first kiss anniversary," Finn moaned as he walked through the mall. After he got in a divorce with his last wife, he wanted to make sure that if he is ever in a relationship again, he would try to make the relationship perfect. "I know. I'll get her a nice card. Then, I'll get her some bath soaps too."
Detective Finn walked in to a little card store. It was very small, only had about three shelves of cards, and every time you walked in, you would hear the faint sound of jingling bells. He went to the anniversary shelf and tried to pick a card. He saw the large variety of cards and he started mumbling to himself, "Hmmmm. Maybe I should pick this one, or maybe this one. Hmmmm. I like this one."
Suddenly, he heard a scream in the distance. This shocked Finn and he decided to look outside to see what happened. When he went outside the shop, he saw tons of people running away from the sudden scream. As he charges through the ambushing crowd, he thinks to himself 'What have I gotten myself into this time?' As he walks closer to where the scream was, he realized that he was in the storage area. He looks around and sees a dead person lying on the ground.
"Wow, I didn't think you would be here." boomed a familiar voice. Then, with the aroma of Danish pastries in the air, Detective Finn knew who it was. He turned around and saw an old time friend.
"Well, Officer Jenkins, I was going to find a card for my girlfriend, but this happened," Finn replied, "What do we have here?"
"Lenny Goodwin. Age 43. Died of stab wounds." Jenkins stated as Finn started to frisk the corpse. He found a wallet that had all of his credit cards and business cards.
"Well, it wasn't a burglary, because a person would have taken his credit cards," Finn said as he stared at his business card that said "Clowns4U- Manager", "We must find out the suspects. Hand me a payroll list from the Clowns4U store." An officer walks up.
"Good evening. I found these three in this area. I think they know something about the murder. They work at Clown4U." the officer said. Then he walked away. The three suspects were all wearing the Clowns4U uniforms. The suspect on the left was named Manny Quinn. He was 5'6", 40 year old, and made mannequins. The suspect in the middle was named Marley Quinn. She was 5'4", 38 years old, and was a clown. The last suspect was named Jenny Rose. She was 5'8", 45 years old, and made the squirt flowers.
"Well, should I get that payroll list?" Officer Jenkins asked.
"Yes, I just want to know if there is a larger set of suspects." Finn replied. Jenkins nodded and went off to get the payroll. Then he turns to the suspects. "I am going to ask you guys a couple of questions. I am going to throw this ball to somebody and that person will answer my question. Then I will ask you to throw the ball to someone else. Then, I will ask a question to the person with the ball. We will continue with this until I say we are done. Do you have any questions?"
"Man, this is dumb." Manny grumbled.
"Well, too bad. You wouldn't be in this situation if you weren't in here," Jenny exclaimed to Manny, "Finn, this will be fun." She laughed nervously.
"That's the spirit," Finn cheered. He grabbed the ball and threw it to Manny. Manny caught it with his right hand and waited for Detective Finn's question. "Why were you down here?"
"To get more stuff for the shop." Manny stated. He threw the ball to Marley. Marley caught it with her right hand also.
"Why were you down here?" Detective Finn asked again.
"Ummm, I was here to look for Manny." Marley answered nervously. Manny shot Marley a glance as if he thought she was lying. Marley got scared and threw the ball to Jenny, who caught the ball with her left hand.
"Why were you down here?" Detective Finn asked Jenny.
"To ask Mr. Goodwin for my pay check." Jenny replied. She then tossed the ball back to Marley and Detective Finn noticed a reddish brown mark on her shirt.
"What's that on your shirt?" Detective Finn asked ingeniously.
"Oh this? It's just some old makeup I put on this morning." Marley replied. She then tossed the ball to Manny.
"Why do you make mannequins? That doesn't seem like a man's job especially for a guy who looks like you." Detective Finn asked.
"Why you little punk!" Manny yelled and charged at Detective Finn with full speed, but Marley held onto his shirt and kissed her husband with her rosy, red lips and reassuring him that everything will be all right. Detective Finn didn't flinch; all he did was shake his head and walk towards the body. As he looked at the body's head, he saw a pink stain on its cheek. He wiped his eyes to check if he wasn't seeing things. Then he started to smell cinnamon rolls and started to laugh.
"Well, if you didn't bring me the pay roll, then you should at least have a cinnamon roll for me." Detective Finn said. He then turned around and saw Jenkins eating a cinnamon roll and reading the pay roll.
"This is interesting. It doesn't seem as if Mr. Goodwin didn't finish the pay roll before he died." Jenkins said. He then handed the pay roll to Detective Finn and slowly decided to give him a cinnamon roll.
"Thanks." Detective Finn said and started to read the pay roll. As he ate his cinnamon roll, the pay roll said this:
Manny Quinn- 40 hours- $400
Marley Quinn- 40 hours- $360
Jenny Rose- Failure to complete- $0
"That's odd. Failure to complete isn't supposed to be on a pay roll." Detective Finn said. Then he looked at the body. There was a puncture hole on the left side on his neck as if the left side was poked and the knife was dragged to the right. Then a question popped up in his head, "Hey Jenkins, when you stab someone with a knife with your right hand, the puncture wound will appear on the left side of the neck if the murderer is behind the victim?""Yes, always. Why?" Jenkins replied. Then a spark ignited in Detective Finn's head. He started to think about all he did today. Then, it dawned on him. "I know who killed Lenny Goodwin."
Con, you can ask three questions for clarification.

ACC202 Managerial Accounting Funds.
Lead Faculty: Dr. Consolacion Fajardo
Course Description
This course is an overview of the use of financial accounting and cost accounting data for the design and preparation of reports to aid management in organizing, directing, controlling, and decision-making functions. The topics include the fundamentals of cost accounting, budgeting and responsibility accounting for cost and profit centers.
Learning Outcomes
- Explain the importance of having accurate unit cost information for each product in the case of a manufacturer, or for each engagement or contract in the case of a service organization.
- Compute pre-determined overhead rate under job order costing and determine the elements of manufacturing costs that are included in the Work in process Inventory, Finished Goods Inventory, and Cost of Goods Sold accounts.
- Apply manufacturing overhead to each of several jobs using both a single overhead-rate approach and an activity-based-costing approach, and explain the advantages and disadvantages of the latter, as compared to the former.
- Analyze mixed (semi-variable) costs into variable and fixed components, using both the 'high-low' method, and the Excel scatter-graph approach, and explain the purpose for such an analysis.
- Apply cost-volume-profit and contribution margin concepts to break-even analysis, margin of safety, and operating leverage, and explain how these information are used by management.
- Indicate several reasons why companies prepare budgets for their profit centers and cost centers, and explain what role supervisors and middle managers should play in the budgeting process.
- Prepare a cash budget and a flexible operating budget from facts and assumptions provided.
- Apply the concepts of contribution margin, segment margin, discretionary and committed fixed costs, traceable and common fixed costs to resolving common types of management decisions, such as whether to discontinue a product or profit center, buy or make a component, sell or process further, etc.
- Apply commonly used techniques such as ROI (DuPont method) and Residual Income for measuring the performance of investment center managers.
- Evaluate proposed capital budget expenditures on the basis of commonly used project assessment techniques.

The June long weekend heralded the start of the ski season and that means plenty of snow-loving Australians will head to the slopes either locally or overseas. Taking out travel insurance is a no-brainer, and if you're relying on complimentary insurance provided by your credit card, new rules make it easier to know what you're covered for.
Free travel insurance can seem like a handy credit card perk. But it can be an area of great confusion for cardholders. For starters you certainly want to check if this sort of insurance covers you for participating in activities with high accident rates, such as skiing.
In response to complaints made about card-based travel cover, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) recently reviewed 17 credit card brands to see how disclosure could be improved.
Among the key problems reported, cardholders are often uncertain about what they have to do to kickstart their travel cover. Others are unsure about whether a supplementary cardholder would be covered by the free travel insurance.
Following ASIC's investigation, credit card issuers are now required to provide much clearer information on these sorts of issues, and that's a good thing.
Nonetheless the onus is very much on cardholders to read the terms and conditions that apply to their credit card. Importantly, know what you need to do to activate the travel cover.
In many cases you need to pay for all or part of your airfare using the credit card. This can be easily overlooked if you hand cash to a travel agent, or if you pay for tickets using BPAY to avoid credit card surcharges.
If you're using frequent flyer points to buy an air ticket, be sure to ask your card issuer if your travel cover will apply. Simply assuming you're covered could turn out to be a costly mistake if it turns out you haven't done what it takes to activate the policy.
Be aware too, if you have any special needs, like a pre-existing medical condition, it could pay to arrange your own cover. If you're planning an extended trip, take a good look at the card's fine print. Card-based travel insurance often only remains valid for a few months, and unlike separate policies you can't usually extend the period you're covered for.
For the record, card-based travel cover is far from free. ASIC found credit cards that provide 'complimentary' travel insurance typically have an annual fee ranging from $87 to over $500. If the lure of free insurance is seeing you pay over-the-top card fees, you're probably wasting money.

God-fucking-damn this man. What the hell does he think he's doing? What an incomprehensible ASSHOLE.
I've never been a big fan of Robertson, or his penchant for pouring the blood-soaked cash of his sheep-like followers all over our political process like the talentless wannabe entertainer he is. But to get all Chicken Little like this is beyond absurd. Worse yet, it's criminally reckless. Why can't his "god" explain THAT to him? Motherfucker.
We have enough fear mongering going on here in The States. Like a crazed wildfire that ends up consuming even the most honest and good-meaning citizenry. It's a duping process, a psychological chain of events. Perhaps not coordinated, but certainly symbiotic in light of the results. Big Money provides the fuel. Big Political Influence lights it. And let's face it, Big Religious Cults such as the 700 Club fan the living fuck out of it.
And then we all get burned.
So here's Robertson, spewing even more of his "the sky's fallin'! So better write me a check quick!" rhetoric, trying to promote his various religious and political machines on the ol' boob toob. His own little show. His already-willing crew of followers. As he's always doing. Why should I care, right?
Why? Because this time he's stepped even further over the line than he has in the past. Now he's fucking practically "guaranteed" some sort of attack JUST BECAUSE HE AND THOSE WHO INVEST IN HIS SMUG SMIRK WON'T WANT TO BE WRONG. And I get the feeling we're all going to get burned here.
It's flabbergasting the lengths to which some people will go to desperately maintain relevance. And it sucks that on some level, it works. I am, after all, discussing and considering this megalomaniac and his insane ramblings. Even when he's obviously off his rocker. Damnit.
Dude is wrong ALL the time. On a daily, if not hourly basis, I would imagine. Pretty much constantly. That comes part-n-parcel with being pathological. And sure, he's usually little more than a historical revisionist when he makes one of his myriad of incorrect predictions, selfishly invoking the emotionally-charged moniker by claiming some shit about how "god told" him all about it. But usually he's prattling on about typhoons, earthquakes and "god-willed" diseases for gays. In other words: shit he has no understanding of and honestly has no influence over.
But murder and destruction by one man on another? Well that just makes me all kinds of paranoid. He's suddenly more than just that kooky fool on the corner bellowing out nonsense about the "third coming" of the chupacabra wars or whatever. Now he's making me nervous. And I'm not nervous about any terrorist attack.
I'm more nervous of him.
If he's going to claim god spoke to him, which is his right (to be insane), then I'm going to go ahead and assert my right and claim that god (jabberwocky, Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man, or any other figment-ish creature) did no such stupid thing. And as a corollary to my claim, if there IS an attack of any substantial proportion on US soil that even RESEMBLES his obnoxiously vague description, then it had to have happened BECAUSE of Roberts' self-serving "look at me! I talk to the baby jesus!" prediction.
Thanks Pat, you dick.

The White House revealed that President Donald Trump plans to call Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday as the future of the House healthcare bill hangs in the balance.
Conservative critics of the bill were emboldened after the Congressional Budget Office report warned that under Paul Ryan's plan, 14 million people will lose insurance in 2018. The report also predicted that premiums would rise 15 to 20 percent in 2018-2019 before falling ten percent by 2026.
In an interview with Fox News, Ryan stated he was "pretty encouraged" by the report, citing predictions that it would cut $1.2 trillion in spending, $883 billion in taxes, and $337 billion in deficit reduction.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer insisted on Monday that Trump and Ryan were in communication about the bill, but he failed to detail any phone calls between the two leaders.
"They have spoken, yes. I don't know when the last time they had," he said, when asked by Breitbart News if the president had called Ryan about the bill.
The bill faces its next big test in a House Budget Committee vote on Thursday. If only four House Republicans on the committee join Democrats by voting "no" on the bill, the legislation would fail to move forward.
Trump continues to support Ryan's proposed bill, although he remains open to some changes. During a cabinet meeting at the White House on Monday, Trump signaled that he was ready to make a deal with critics.
"We're negotiating with everybody," he told reporters. "It's a big, fat beautiful negotiation, and hopefully, we'll come up with something that's going to be really terrific."
The president is scheduled to speak on the phone with Ryan and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy Tuesday afternoon.

Socio-Lunar Links
Kori Smith
Renee Botens
Donna Zimmerman
The purpose of this lab is to determine if there is a significant correlation between the lunar cycle and social activities and alcohol intake among Miami University college students living in dorms. We hypothesize that social activity and alcohol intake are directly linked to the stages of the moon. We hypothesize that decreased social activity and alcohol intake are associated with the full moon while increased social activity and alcohol intake are associated with the new moon.
College is a time when young people get their first taste of freedom. During the first six weeks of the new school year, we observed that many of our dorm mates participated in alcohol related social activities. We became interested in how these activities correlate with the cycles of the moon. Through studying the drinking and social patterns of our dorm mates, we hope to determine whether humanís social activities and alcohol intake are directly affected by nature.
There is an abundance of studies relevant to our subject. Evidence relating to lunar rhythms is present in numerous studies. Two different main approaches to the rhythms of the body are present in the scientific community. The first is the theory of circadian rhythms, proposed by Dr. Franz Halberg at the University of Minnesota. Incorporated in this theory is the idea that the humans, and other living organisms, posses a mean of regulating cycles. These cycles include the solar-day rhythms (24 hours), lunar-day rhythms (24.8 hours), lunar-synodic monthly rhythms (29.5 days) and yearly rhythms (Lieber, 48). Along with this study, a stipulation of disturbances caused by outside substances has been added. Heavy water, dalinomycin (an antibiotic), lithium and alcohol are all known to change the natural rhythms occurring in the body (Lieber, 48). Dr. Frank Brown is recognized as being the chief proponent of the second theory, the extrinsic timing theory of biological rhythms. His theory states that cosmic cycles influence organismal activity (Brown, 138). For example, the tides influence when the time is best for aquatic organisms to be active or to feed. It is therefore hypothesized that the lunar response is present in land animals as a consequence of their evolution from marine to land-dwelling creatures (Lieber, 50).
Bodily mechanisms were studied in an effort to determine the influence of circadian rhythms. In 1866, William Ogle discovered noted that there was a significant fluctuation in human body temperature that varied in relation to day and night (Moore-Ede, 3). Many corporations have conducted studies on worker-effectiveness and its relations to the body clock. Workers were found to be drastically less effective when working at night-time. Mid-night shift workers were less productive than the day-time workers (Biological Rhythms, 2). The workers that were forced to work against their circadian rhythms were noted to have experienced sleep deprivation, fatigue, familial and social problems (Nelson, 90). These instances provide evidence for the presence of circadian rhythms.
Others argue whether the presence of light from the moon influences the behavior of animals. The homing behavior of eels was found to be increased during the new and first quarter moon (Lamothe et. al., 398). Another study in Spain suggests that this increase in homing activity in European eels is due to the darkness that is related to these two phases of the moon (LaBar et. al., 115). The debate over whether the homing behavior is directly related to the lunar phases or the lack of light created by these phases continues.
Since lunar phases are thought to effect animal behavior, some scientists are exploring their effect on human behavior. According to a study done by Georgia State University Department of Psychology, lunar rhythms had a 26% impact on alcohol intake. This impact was demonstrated by an increase in alcohol intake during the new moon and a decrease during the full moon (Castro et. al., 439).
With the focus of alcohol related studies in mind, sociocultural factors on drinking were researched. Socioeconomically, college educated persons are more apt to drink than those with only a high school education. Gender studies show that men are more likely to use and abuse alcohol than women, but the womenís contention is on the rise. Urban and rural comparisons show that urban residents are more likely to drink than rural residents. There was also a link between geographic region, demonstrating that people living in the Northeast and along the West coast are more apt to drink than people who live in the South and Midwest (Zastrow, 459).
Along with alcohol intake in social situations, we will also examine romantic, friendly, work-related, etc. social interactions and the lack thereof.
Our method is based entirely on surveying a minimum of fifty Miami University students living in dormitories. Each student participant will receive a calender survey with three questions to answer every day. The answers will be marked on the specific days of the week on the calender. The subjects will be asked to fill out this survey every day for two months. This calender survey is the most important aspect of our experiment, as it is the sole source of our data.
The questions that the subjects are asked to answer reveal what kind of social event, if any, the student attended; how many drinks, if any, they had consumed; and how many people they were with, if any. The social interactions that we are interested in are romantic, friendly, work-related, or other interactions or the lack thereof.
To differentiate the population, participants are also asked to indicate their gender, dorm name, and major. The halls surveyed are only representative of the North Quad, and the Western Living-Learning Community of Miami University.
Finally, in order to interpret the data, the survey results will be compared and contrasted to the lunar calendar to find a correlation, if any between social activity and alcohol consumption.
The statistical aspects of our methodology leaves only minimal room for inaccuracy. Due to the two different communities studied, however, North Quad, and Western Quad, there may be some significant differences.
In an effort to keep our results from being skewed, the surveys will be anonymous, the subjects surveyed will be random, and we have developed standards for our questions. Our experimental design will yield accurate results unless participants lie or forget to write their answers down. In order to prevent the subjects from lying, we have made the survey anonymous, which will hopefully increase their comfort with answering potentially damaging questions. We will also suggest they place the paper somewhere where they will see it everyday. This will hopefully remind the subjects to answer the questions, thereby increasing the accuracy of our results.
The data will be most accurate if each participant follows through every day with their survey. We will send weekly e-mails to the participants to remind them to complete the surveys.
When two months have passed, we will collect the calender surveys and compile the data. We will compare the lunar calender to those calender surveys that we have collected and look for any significant correlations between the two.
Class Involvement:
During our teaching day in class we will assign each student a stereotypical social role (boyfriend/girlfriend, friend, workaholic, lonely loser, party animal). We will then ask the class to form a group with the other people in their same social role. In these groups, we will ask them to define the social activities of people in these roles. We will then explain the idea behind our study and our hypothesis. In these groups we will ask them to form their own way of collecting and analyzing the data needed to test our hypothesis. As a person in their assigned social role, we will then ask them to brainstorm causes, other than the moon cycles, that may affect their social activities in those roles. Following this activity, we will ask for some feedback and/or suggestions for our experiment.

Highway 1 through Big Sur could be blocked through June, according to an updated, extended estimate issued Wednesday afternoon by Caltrans.
A massive rock and dirt slide covered hundreds of feet of the highway on April 14, and Caltrans had been estimating it would take four to six weeks to reopen the road about 7 miles north of the San Luis Obispo/Monterey county line; the new estimate is four to eight weeks.
All businesses remain open on either side of the slide, including Cambria, Hearst Castle and Ragged Point on the south side, and Gorda, Lucia and Big Sur campgrounds and lodgings on the north side.
Motorists can reach Big Sur via Monterey and Carmel to the north. Nacimiento Fergusson Road to the south connects to Highway 101 north of San Miguel, but is narrow, steep, twisting and not recommended for nighttime travel.

Remix Sessions 6
Catalog No: DIYNAMIC #038
Release Date: 08.06.2010
Diynamic Music celebrate the release of 'Cajun Lunch' the brand new artist album from Norway's 8, with the release of the first single to be taken from the long player, 'Continental Lover'. The most unique and exciting vocal duo in electronic music return to Diynamic for the first time since their 2008 collaboration with label chief Solomun 'Federgewicht'. Having provided the vocals for Jamie Jones' smash hit 'Summertime', the duo have never been far from the dancefloor. 'Continental Lover' the first single to be taken from the album, perfectly demonstrates the duo's fresh, dance floor focus. Wonderfully soulful, harmonized vocals flow deliciously over powerful synth chords. An acapella break becomes inspired and driven by a throaty piano riff as the gorgeous vocals once again shine. With this being a Diynamic Remix Session release, what more could we expect than a bumper package of mixes? First up is Cologne's ruler of the deep Pawas, who creates a beautiful soundscape of softly throbbing bassline, sweeping atmospheric synths and spookying up the original's keys. Wonderful. Next up, label regular and producer of the moment 7, as always, delivers his own brand of funk. Stabbing the synths and lacing the keys, the Catalan injects some pace, and using the vocal creates a dance floor smash. Rounding out the package in style is none other than long time Diynamic member, Stimming. Stripped and elegant, Stimming's reworking takes on a ride of his magical music box. Deepness at its best.

Rock the shot favorite image of 2013 (Philadelphia area photographer)
Favorite Photo of 2013 - Rock the Shot Forum
Here is my favorite shot of 2013. I had the opportunity to photograph a birth for the first time. There is nothing like being handed your newborn son for the very first time and this image says it all. The dark area on the left of the frame is the nurse. She delivered her son on the bathroom floor at home. A midwife delivered him and the nurse was there. It was a very tight space. I was stuck right in the doorway with a 50mm lens. I used the fastest lens I had as it was the crack of dawn and I did not want to use any flash for obvious reasons. I could not back up to make it a pass through shot through the door as her older children were right behind me being minded by their grandmother. I feel this image tells that story as it happened. Which is the way a birth photo shoot should be. I will never forget this little guys birthday. Never.

Thanks for stopping by!

Make the most of straight hair by using it to create this dainty doublebraided design. It's a simple technique that looks simply lovely.
1. Wash and blow dry the hair. Make a middle part from the brow to the nape of the head to divide the hair into two even sections. Draw out several sections of hair on one side of the part and secure each section with a small hair clip.
2. Grasp two small sections of hair at the hairline.
3. Twist each section around itself and then bring the top section over the bottom section to make an X.
4. Grasp the first section of hair that you secured in Step 1 and place it between the two sections of hair forming the X.
5. Twist this section of hair into the twisted sections and then let it hang loose, leaving the hair clip at the end. Continue drawing the two main twisted sections of hair towards the back of the head. These sections should look a bit like a twisted rope.
6. Grasp the next section of hair that you secured in Step 1. Twist it into the rope of hair and then let it hang loose. Draw the rope of twisted hair backwards and then integrate the next section of hair into it in the same manner. Repeat this technique until you've twisted all the pinned sections of hair into the rope.
7. Secure the end of the rope at the back of the head with a hair clip. Don't remove the hair clips from the bottom of each section of hair.
8. Grasp two small sections of hair at the hairline, below the sections you used to make the first twisted rope.
9. Twist each section around itself and then twist them together to make an X.
10. Grasp the first section of hair that you secured in Step 1 and place it between the two sections of hair forming the X. Twist the hair into the X and then let it hang loose. Continue drawing the rope of hair backwards, twisting in all the sections of hair that you twisted into the first rope to make a second twisted rope.
11. When all the sections have been twisted in, pin the ends of the two twisted ropes together at the back of the head.
12. Repeat this process on the other side of the head and then pin the ends of all four twisted ropes together.
13. Remove the hair clips on both sides of the head.
14. At the back of the head, twist together the twisted sections to create a rope of hair hanging down the back of the head. Secure with a hair elastic. Add a bow or hair accessory at the top of the rope to finish it off. Mist with holding spray.

Welcome to the first edition of a new feature called 'What I learned today'. Everyone does some foolish things from time to time that they hope nobody saw, or wish they had not done. I know I do all the time, and I have decided to tell you about them in this feature. I am an idiot so you don't have to be! Talk about value.
This one is a 2 for 1 deal. The first piece of advice I can give you today is too NOT try and eat yogurt with a fork. I got cocky and thought I could do it, and I got away with it a few times. But today the fork failed me. I will not go into details, but you get the picture.
Second super bonus piece of advice. If you do happen to make a mess of yourself with yogurt, do not trust that you cleaned it all off yourself. Go look in the mirror! You don't want to walk around with white creamy stuff on your face or stuck in your beard. Although it will make for an interested conversation around the office.

(Using DS Lite, AKAIO 1.6RC1 firmware) - I can feel something (a chip?) behind the sticker glued in the front of cart, won't take the sticker out due to warranty, duh. Some says this thing means my card is a clone, but... - It appears as "Acekard 2i" in the DS Menu, and I think clones are reported to appear as "Acekard 2", no "i". - Boot and play just fine, from what I hear fakes don't run the latest firmware/akaio. I'm really confused... :S Oh, and what's the difference between Acekard 2i and Acekard RPG, because the skin that comes with the latest official firmware have a "Acekard RPG" and now I don't know what is what. Oone last thing, why this "DSi Compatible" space comes empty? At least mine was empty, lol. Lots of question, I know, but Tempers will help me, OH GOD THEY WILL! Rigthy? Thanks in advance.

The Illinois National Guard and local police, fire and transit departments are organizing a five-day series of drills set to test the Chicago area's emergency procedures in response to numerous simultaneous disasters, officials said in a statement today.
The drills started today and are to last until Thursday.
"It is a full-scale exercise, so residents can expect to see emergency responders looking and acting as if this was a real homeland security/domestic response mission," the National Guard said in a statement.
Officials said Toyota Park in southwest suburban Bridgeview will serve as a staging area for the exercise, while the Salvation Army in Elk Grove Village will serve as a command center.

Who's this guy?
This past weekend I went through allot of my old sketch books and notes from when I was younger and I came across one of my old Comic Book Story ideas...it was actually pretty good...so I started revamping the idea a little and sketching out some of the characters just for fun. Anyways...this guy is the Main character from the story...the concept has a strong Horror theme. I don't want to give away any secrets...maybe i will use the character or the story someday.

Been invited to a Halloween party but don't want to spend alot of money on a costume??
In this economy we all know that cutting back on frivolous things is key! However, that does mean that you can't still have a good time. Listed below are some great Halloween costumes that can be put together under $10!
In this economy we all know that cutting back on frivolous things is key! However, that does mean that you can't still have a good time. Listed below are some great Halloween costumes that can be put together under $10!
- Pile of Laundry. Buy a large circular laundry basket and cut the bottom out. Attach suspenders to it to hold it at waist high. Get a handful of old clothes and attach them to you and your laundry basket. Attach some dryer sheets and create a fabric softener ball necklace to your costume for the perfect accessory.
-Mummy Dearest. Get an old white sheet and shred it into thin pieces. To stain the sheet, leave it in hot water filled with tea bags over night. After it dries, wrap your entire body in it and tie ends together. Pretty simple! Just paint your face white, apply grey eye shadow and black lipstick. Cheap and scary… what Halloween is all about.
-Old Hag. Borrow an old housecoat from your grandmother. Buy a pair of knee highs, slippers and rollers. Pretty self explanatory and cheap!
-Mad Scientist. All you need to buy is a white coat. Mess up your hair, tape up a pair of glasses and add test tubes to your pocket for the ultimate scientist look!
-Roman Emperor. Again, all you need is a white sheet. Wrap it on your body like a toga. Add shiny sandals on your feet and leafy ivy around your head.
-Sexy Liberian. All you need to do is find a short skirt, a pair of really high heals, and a low cut shirt. To top it off, pull your hair in a tight bun, add reading classes and carry some books. Everyone will be reading you that night!
-Nerd. High waisted, tight jeans and a sweater is pretty common when describing a nerd. Pull it together with a pair of thick, taped glasses and add pens and a calculator to your sweater pocket. Cheap and nerdy.
-Skeleton. Buy a black shirt and black sweatpants if you don't have already. Buy white paint and paint bones on your black shirt and pants. Pretty simple and of course cheap! Paint your face completely white to get the full effect!
-Ghost. The most popular and cheapest Halloween costume to date; get a white sheet, cut two holes for eyes and throw it over your body. Cut the bottom of the sheet to get that flow-like look of a ghost. Easy, cheap and no one will ask the most hated Halloween question: "what are you?"
-Phaon Spurlock, The Southern Gentleman

This paper argues that when teachers can create narratives that symbolize the unresolved conflicts of their schooling past, they are then in a position to use that history as a source of insight that illuminates the ways the past structures the present, and how the present shapes what we remember of the past.

The results of the recent STC/SM election of officers for the 2016/2017 program year are summarized below.
- Total number of ballots sent out on electionbuddy.com: 37
- Total number of ballots cast: 11
- Percentage of members who voted: 29.7%
Based on the votes cast, the winning nominees for each office were:
- Vice-President-Elect: Alison Phillips
- Treasurer-Elect: Maryann Bowen
As noted previously, Sharon McDonnell, who served as STC/SM Vice-President in 2014/2015 and 2015/2016, will transition to the office of STC/SM President as provided by our chapter by-laws.
Congratulations to our newly elected officers, and thank you for running for office and being involved in the governance of our chapter.
Council Secretary Will Be Appointed
Although there were no write-in candidates for any of the above positions, one STC/SM member did receive a write-in vote for the office of Secretary (which was included on the ballot but had no candidates listed). However, that member was not aware that they had been written-in as a candidate and, when informed of this by a current Council officer, respectfully declined to serve.
As noted previously in my May 15, 2016, email announcement, if no qualified and consenting candidate was nominated and voted for by the end of the election on May 31, Alison Phillips (our current STC/SM Secretary) had agreed to allow the Council to appoint her as Secretary Pro Tem. Since no consenting STC/SM member received any votes for the office of Secretary for the 2016/2017 program year, Alison will also serve as the Secretary Pro-Tem (for now).
Nominating Committee Members Are Still Needed
There were also no pre-election or write-in nominations for the two open Nominations Committee member positions on the ballot, so those positions remain unfilled and will need to be addressed by the incoming Council officers.
No Comments or Suggestions Were Submitted
Finally, the election ballot provided members with the option of suggesting topics for future STC/SM program meetings and events. However, no comments or suggestions were submitted by any of the voting chapter members.
Respectfully submitted,
Tom Glennan
STC/SM Immediate Past President and Nominations Committee Chair

This evening, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the British Academy Film and Television Awards ceremony at Royal Albert Hall in London.
The Duke has been the President of @BAFTA since 2010, supporting their work promoting creative British talent. It was the first time that Kate has attended the star-studded awards ceremony.
For the event, Kate chose a stunning bespoke version of an Alexander McQueen Resort 2016 collection black dress with a floral motif. The Long Tier Violet Jacquard Dress is a stunning off the shoulder dress which Kate would have had customized to her specifications. She looked absolutely stunning with her hair done in an intricate up-do. (Thanks to Laura on Twitter for the ID!)
We believe she was also carrying an Alexander McQueen clutch (ID via WWKD Contributor Gemma)
Kate also wore a pair of stunning earrings that we had previously seen in 2011. We will update with more pictures as they become available!

In 2008, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services found that more than 14,000 children were placed in permanent managing conservatorship (PMC) of the state. These adolescents who are active in PMC will remain in there until they are adopted by a legal guardian, age out of the system, or are released. Many foster parents are involved in many services that cater to these children but most of these children are not cared for, as they should be. The Texas Young Lawyers Association and Texas Lawyers for Children have come together to combat such cases as these and have begun to recruit and educate lawyers in Texas to serve as an attorney or guardian ad litem or co-counsel to neglected and/or abused children who are currently in foster homes. These two associations felt the need to partner to ensure that children who are involved in PMC have someone to look out for their personal needs as well as their legal needs. There are two phases in a case that involves a child who has been removed from their legal guardian. The first phase of the case determines where the adolescent will end up and the second phase deals with the adolescent's overall well – being if they are placed in guardianship of a foster home. After a decision has been that the child will be attended to under the PMC of the state, this will mandate that a judge be required to review the living arrangements of the adolescent every 6 months.

Introducing Pianist Deborah Davis
New Christmas Album Out Later This Year
Prattville, Alabama – January 23, 2017 – It's never too early to start planning for the holidays. With that pianist Deborah Davis has her sights set on illuminating the 2017 season with her upcoming release, Comfort Christmas.
Playing hymns in Sunday school at merely seven-years-old, many saw Deborah's potential but she strayed away from doing anything in the professional since after high school. Trading a career in music for one as nurse, she split time between hospital shifts with being an Air Force wife, and mother. All the while though she did allow herself to continue music as a hobby, singing for the Mother Singers, the Air Force Skylarks, church choirs and played for the Newcomers Club, intermission for an off- Broadway show and other ventures as well as church services. Years passed and she soon found her kids all college bound, that's when she decided it was time to get her second wind.
After her mind was set, she set forth and sharpened her piano skills several hours a day. In due time her debut, Expedition: Tranquility, was ready to go. Many found their way to that album via radio airplay and Pandora, and soon enough they'll get more with her upcoming Christmas album; Comfort Christmas. Easy-listening with soulful and soothing tones, fans of John Tesh and Lori Line will be delighted to partake in hearing what Deborah Davis has to offer.
Comfort Christmas will be released later this year to coincide with the holiday season. To stay in tune with what Deborah Davis is doing until then, make sure to check her out online.
Deborah Davis is a pianist that showed promise at a young age, and even when her nursing career and motherhood took priority – she continued to sing and play. After her kids were grown though, she decided to take a huge step. With one album under her belt, and another on the way this holiday season – Deborah is ready for her second wind to continue.

If organizing doesn't come naturally to you but you know that you would love the results, you've got to create a habit. Outside In Organizer and Makeovers' 5 steps to creating a new habit: Step 1: Know your target goal – Know what your specific goal is and write it down. Is it to eliminate paper clutter? Is it a sensible filing system? Step 2: Practice your new habit for 2 weeks – NO EXCEPTIONS! NO EXCUSES! Step 3: Schedule time to practice – Scheduling adequate time to practice your goal ensures success. No one finds extra time, they create it. Step 4: Reward yourself – Step back and notice your success, applaud your work. Reward your accomplishment with something meaningful. Step 5: Persist – You can tweak the process during the first week but don't abandon it. Don't give up. Realize that change can be difficult and annoying, that is to be expected. Remember that the situation didn't occur overnight and that real change and optimal results comes from repeated practice. Let me know how you do…
5 steps for how to declutter your schedule and be more productive: Purge: Declutter your schedule by eliminating tasks, meetings that don't have personal or professional benefit. Delegate: Think of this as sharing, or building capacity! Identify tasks and even meetings that others can do (and learn from). You don't have to do it all. Sort: Consolidate like projects, tasks. Focus on 1 or 2 areas each day. Example: Monday, Wednesday-Networking & clients; Tuesday & Thursday-Marketing; Friday-Education, Finances. Schedule: Allocate specific day/time for projects. schedule email & social media for 2-3x/day. This will minimize distractions. Rejuvenate: Don't forget the importance of breaks, lunch away from your desk, taking a walk.
I love weekends and farmers' markets but before I stock up the refrigerator I clean it out. After I get rid of any items that may be spoiled I clean every surface. Here is a sensible and inexpensive way to do that…use a clean sponge and a solution of warm water and baking soda. Everything will sparkle and odors will disappear. Organize the food arranging the items you want to eat first towards the front and new ones behind them.
Can't afford a new wardrobe but tired of everything in your closet? Shop in your closet and find something with a burst of color and add it to what you are wearing. Keep it simple: 1 article of clothing or 1 accessory. You will get the best results if you use a contrasting color rather than something that matches!

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">   <meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <title></title>   Thanks for raising test failure issues. I do agree test failures should be addressed quickly.

 I also want to suggest some ways to make sure a failure is not caused by your own changes... Feel free to add any other suggestions you or others may have. With so many changes going into derby, some small number of failures are bound to happen. I believe Tomohito's changes also got delayed because of test failures, not related to his changes.

Check the nightly reports (http://incubator.apache.org/derby/derby_tests.html) If you see same failure there, it is probably not caused by you. Still suggest alerting derby-dev, so someone would address them.

Run the test with and without your changes. Most offen if the test fails the same way, it might not be your problem.

 I am sure there are more tricks out there...

February 28, 2010 (CHICAGO) --Chicago police Supt. Jody Weis took the message that 'silence kills' to a West Side church.Weis spoke Sunday morning at Greater St. John Bible Church on North Waller.
Weis told the congregation that the police department's number one priority is to keep children safe, but he said the department can't have an officer on every corner. Instead, he said anyone with information on a crime needs to come forward.
The superintendent mentioned the killing of 12-year-old Jahmeshia Conner from Englewood, saying the department hasn't received any tips to help solve the case.

It is Brandon Manumaleuna's ability to defy characterization that makes him unusual, gives him value and provides the Bears offense with an element of unpredictability.
We call him a tight end, but he is so much more.
He is a player who won the NFL's punt, pass and kick competition at 11, went to college as a defensive lineman and now plays about 65 percent of his snaps at fullback.
But he's really a glorified offensive lineman.
And, not surprisingly, there isn't another player like him in the NFL. That's why Mike Martz drafted him when he was the coach of the Rams in 2001 and why the Bears offensive coordinator led the charge for the club to sign him to a free-agent deal worth a potential $15 million over five years.
Manumaleuna is to Martz what a high quality multi-purpose kitchen tool is to a serious chef.
"He's smart, so you can do so many things with him," said Martz, who plays Manumaleuna on about 70 percent of the snaps. "He gives you so much flexibility. He's an I-formation fullback, he lines up at tight end, you can throw him the ball in the flat."
It was more difficult for the rest of Chicago to appreciate Manumaleuna until recently. He had surgery in May to clean up cartilage damage in his knee and started the season slowly. As the year has gone on, he has become stronger and faster — though he still isn't going to win any footraces.
"My knee was giving me problems and it affected everything — even getting out of the chair," Manumaleuna said. "It's never going to be 100 percent, but it feels a lot better than it did."
With the Bears in the stretch run, Manumaleuna is playing his best football of the year. He has caught three passes in the last two weeks, including one for the winning touchdown against the Lions.
No one expected Manumaleuna to threaten Tony Gonazalez's record for tight end catches. Anything he catches really is a bonus as he usually runs only five to eight pass routes per game.
But every so often he will sneak out and find the defense has gone to sleep on him.
"Is he the fastest guy in the world? No," Martz said. "But he has great feet and can catch the heck out of the ball. He will catch it, and he'll make a play to win a game."
No matter if Manumaleuna is lined up as a fullback or a tight end, which he is almost exclusively in the Bears' nickel packages, the 300-pounder is on the field primarily to block.
"He lines up against a big defensive lineman and he can block him without help," Martz said. "The other thing is you put him in the backfield and he's leading on a 235-pound linebacker. That guy doesn't hold up very long. It's a real value for us that he's both positions. There aren't many guys like that."
Those blocking abilities could be more important than usual Sunday when the Bears play against the Patriots' 3-4 front. When Manumaleuna plays tight end, he matches up with 3-4 outside backers better than most offensive tackles do. And when he plays fullback, he can handle burly 3-4 inside linebackers better than most players you find in an NFL backfield.
Playing fullback and tight end is challenging, especially because Manumaleuna doesn't participate in running back drills in practice or meet with the backs. During the week, he is always with the tight ends.
"There are different assignments, then different techniques," Bears tight ends coach Mike DeBord said. "It's very different. You have to have a guy who is smart and knows football."
On a given play, Manumaleuna might start out as a tight end and shift to fullback, or vice versa.
Manumaleuna sees his fullback responsibilities this way: "It's just getting familiar with the running backs, trying to get on the same page with what they see. Then, it's being familiar with the blocking scheme from a backfield standpoint as opposed to being on the line."
It's a big load.
Then again, so is he.

Funkrust Brass Band Is More Than Music: It's An Experience
New York City's Funkrust Brass Band is a 20-piece visceral experience begging to be heard live and unplugged. With the power of their 11-piece horn section, there isn't a reason in the world why they need to be plugged in, except perhaps if their exceptional lead singer cannot be heard over the roaring cacophony of their horn arrangements on just the megaphone.
They are a band by design that is meant to play in more than just the usual bars and music venues, and they really have stretched their legs musically, coming out to march in parades and protests, as well as festivals and block parties. They have a funky sound that mixes disco, punk, EDM, funk, Balkan brass, and New Orleans second line to create a really unique sonic experience that is highlighted by their choreography and costuming.
Though the band has been playing since 2014, they released their debut recording, seven-song E.P. Dark City, just over a month ago on May 19. It's an upbeat album that is easy to sing along to, but more importantly, it's easy to dance to. The biggest problem the record has for the listener is that it makes it impossible to not want to catch Funkrust live and in person right away.
The record has an infectious groove running throughout, so every song at least inspires a toe top if not a full on involuntary shimmy because the music is far too enticing. But no section of the record feels better than when the chorus of musicians breaks into the chant "We can run on nothing but sunshine, we don't need your money at all" during the album's single "Swamp Samba."
Funkrust Brass Band will be in action live at Bushwick, Brooklyn's Lantern Hall on June 22, helping to send off their friends in Troll 2 for their summer tour.

The Nifty valuation analyzer now has rolling standard deviation(stdev) curves plotted along with the rolling average PE, PB and Div yield curves.
As pointed out by Ravi Vooda, the
- mean + stdev, and mean + 2*stdev,
- mean – stdev, and mean – 2*stdev
curves might give a better picture of the market valuation.
Here are some results
Nifty PE
Nifty PB
Nifty Div. Yield
Notice that the standard deviation is more sensitive than the average to time. That is changes more rapidly as the days advance. So while one can assume that the Nifty is dangerously overvalues when the PE and/or PB exceeds two standard deviations above the average, we must also recognise that the standard deviation and the average are changing with time. So our assumption could be wrong.
I would like to make it clear that my interest in such analysis is only to find out dangerous valuations. There is no point in either not investing or pulliing out when the Nifty breaches, say 22. As pointed out here
exiting at high PE is fine, but when do you re-eneter, the answer is whenever! So as far I am concerned, if I pull out at high PE, it is only for my emotional well-being and not for maximising returns.

#FreeEvans hashtag: Nigerians rain curses on those calling for billionaire kidnapper Evans' freedom
Nigerians on Saturday took to social media to rain curses and abuse on those behind a campaign for the freedom of billionaire kidnapper Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, aka Evans.
Evans was arrested last week Saturday round 1pm at his Magodo Estate mansion, Lagos State, after police hunted him for seven months.
His arrest came after terrorizing Festac axis and its environs for years, forcing billionaire and million businessmen to relocate from the area.
Below are reactions of Nigerians on Twitter to those who want freedom for the notorious kidnapper:

NY Times featured on the front page how Apple executives take advantage of cheap labor in China.
-This underscores the need to raise global labor standards. The economics of globalization have outpaced social and environmental protections. We have a good system for logistics but not for protecting workers. U.S. should work with ILO to uphold international labor standards everywhere around the world.
-Pushing China to raise labor standards should be a higher priority than Obama's big to-do with counterfeit goods. Putting pressure on China to raise labor standards would be better for American workers as well.
-Organized campaigns have successfully changed corporate practices, and this could apply in this case. Americans need to organize more campaigns for more corporate responsibility, and Apple is a perfect target for such a campaign. Socially responsible consumers and shareholders need to apply pressure on U.S. corporations to do the right thing.
-The U.S. government shares the blame on this one. Continue reading

Last month I focused on eating well, clearing out and re-organising my wardrobe and catching up on all the bits and pieces of life admin which I had brushed aside over the festive period (hello new passport!). Now the challenge is to keep these things going whilst also tackling a new set of resolutions for February!
February is a month for...
Getting back in the kitchen - After a month of soups, pulses and greens I'm so ready to get baking again! I'll be kicking things off with a lovely recipe for a vibrant Seville Blood Orange cake a little later on in the week.
Embracing colour - The first bunches of daffodils are popping up on the flower stalls and the garden is no longer covered in snow. Time to bring some colour into the house I think! This month I want to have flowers in each room and bright pink nail polish on each toenail as a reminder that Spring is just around the corner.
Getting out of doors - After a cosy, quiet start to the year I'm just about ready to dust off my walking boots and rain coat. Remember there is no such thing as bad weather, just unsuitable clothing!
Clearing out the cupboards - Next up on my to do list are our many cupboards which were rather hastily filled when we moved in back in November. Now it's time to think about how to make better use of our space. I'm looking forward to sharing the inspiration behind my organisation as well as a few tips and tricks of my own over the coming weeks!

New York built grand 133' Victorian schooner yacht, Coronet, is depicted in this colorful clearwater diorama cruising in Hawaiian waters, where in 1888 she took aboard King Kalakaua of Honolulu. Built in 1885 by the Poillon Shipyard of Brooklyn, she was the epitome of elegant design and craftsmanship, and twice circumnavigated the globe. Today she is being restored by the International Yacht Restoration School of Newport, RI, and will be preserved there for the public. The full hull model is constructed from two basswood waterline lifts with applied bulwarks, laid decks, and is authentically fitted-out. The sails are paper, and the scene includes various work-action hand painted figures. The model is presented in a custom fitted mahogany frame with glazed cover trimmed in brass and two brass engraved name plaques.
A collaborative effort between Hitchcock and Nader Taheri, this solid basswood hull model constructed via laminated water line lifts with blanked-over topsides, laid decking and fully rigged according to practice was proficiently produced by Mr. Hitchcock. He also designed, engineered and fabricated the construction of the
Mr. Taheri afforded the enhancements to the overall scene by giving the model & sails a more realistic and classic form. His uses of artist oil paints enable him to achieve these important effects. He expertly painted each of the work-action figures providing a believable effect, as well as artistically applying the right water coloration, via air brush techniques, to the ocean bottom and the shoals.
