There is a new type of email phishing targeting title companies and home buyers. In some extreme cases, homebuyers are having hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen.
Here is how it works.
During the email exchange between the title company and the homebuyer, the homebuyer will receive a fraudulent email with instruction to wire the purchase amount or down payment to the title company.
Since the malicious email comes directly from the title company, many homebuyers trustingly wire the money as instructed. The hackers own the account, and there is no way of getting the money back.
Anytime you receive financial instructions call and verify with your contact. Do not transfer money until you have checked.
You can watch the full story on NBC: Mortgage Phishing Robbing Home Buyers of Life Savings
To ensure safety for our clients at Entrust Direct, we have staff committed to the security of our network. We also keep home-buyers up to date on the latest phishing attacks, so they know how to avoid potential threats.

Transforming Your Magic Career
Key Attributes That Can Magically Transform Your Career in Magic
Come to think of it, there is a lot of similarity between a well-prepared wedding cake and a successful magic show.
Both depend on an impeccably smooth and glossy appearance to create the crucial first favourable impression and also represent a culmination of many factors, all of which need to fall into place at the right time.
Like the way in which cake preparation begins with a skilled and talented baker, the first requisite for a good performance in magic is that of an adept magician.
Much of what follows henceforth depends on the management capabilities of the individual concerned and the final performance is an outcome of days of preparation.
But is it just hard work that ensures a successful show?
If you have answered in the affirmative to this question you could not have been more wrong because there is much more involved here than what meets the eye.
Assuming that you have mastered the art of conducting magic tricks of various genres and are confident of pulling the tricks off in front of spectators, it is now time to work on factors that would add shine to the basic package.
Imagine a wedding cake without icing and frills – would it not appear dull and boring? Similarly, it is imperative for magicians to cultivate auras around themselves if it is their ambition to excel in their chosen craft, and accomplishing this task calls for cultivating the following attributes to transforming your Magic Career:
Transforming Your Magic Career is important for your growth
Every individual is entitled to have an attitude, but when it comes to fulfilling career aspirations then it is important to ensure that your attitude is compatible with your chosen field.
For a magician, identifying the right frame of mind while performing and ensuring its onset irrespective of external factors is instrumental enough to make a difference between an exemplary and an average performance.
Given the fact that all famous magicians are equally well known for their attitude as well as their talent, an aspiring amateur has to develop this attribute during the early stages of their profession.
While it is a mandatory ingredient for every type of performing art, it is especially required in the field of magic owing to its long legacy and repetition of tricks.
For example, if you as a performer keep drawing ribbons of various colours and coins out of your spectator's pocket, soon you will have reached a stage when there would be no-one willing to watch you. Lack of audience is not owing to magic having lost its charm, but the predictability of your act.
Innovation is the name of the game here, meaning you might perform the same tricks but you must ensure that they are enacted in different ways and utilise varied props so that they do not appear monotonous.
In fact, you can even go a stage further and devise your own version of a common trick and also treat it as your signature act.
Secrecy is the key to any profession and especially in the case of magic, which is why you owe it to your work, as well as your brotherhood, not to reveal the modus operandi of any of your tricks.
Then how is an inquisitive audience best handled? Such a spectator should be smiled upon as benevolently as possible and subsequently ignored.
Following these edicts will not only render your persona attractive as a magician, but also enable you to carve a distinct niche for yourself within your own community.
These are characteristics that may not be taught in any school, but their veracity stands proven by the fact that they are universally accepted by, and strictly adhered to, by the magic community.

Nokia Shouldn't Give Up And Switch To Windows Phone 7
Financial analysts are cheerleading for Nokia to switch over to Windows Phone 7, in advance of a big announcement by Nokia CEO (and former Microsoftie) Stephen Elop on February 11. With its global market share declining, Nokia needs helpbut that's not the help it needs.
Turning Nokia into a manufacturing house for Windows Phone 7 devices would require a massive cultural shift, would give up one of Nokia's major strengths, would potentially slow down decision-making even further, and would put Nokia at a disadvantage to Samsung and HTC.
Rather, I'd like to see Nokia announce at least three MeeGo-based smartphones next week, or at least a clear plan for a strong lineup based on the Linux OS.
Wall Street analysts have hated Nokia for a while, so this isn't a surprise. Part of the problem seems to be Nokia's invisibility to U.S. residents; because the company abandoned the top end of our market a few years ago, analysts underestimate Nokia's outsized impact in the rest of the world. That's a mistake.
Nokia sells a huge number of low-end feature phones every year. The company risks becoming a manufacturer of low-end feature phones, with little strength in the high-end and smartphone markets. This is a huge issue because smartphones are where most of the profits are, and where the technology pipeline for future mass market phones starts.
Staying out of the U.S. doesn't seem to have hurt Nokia's feature-phone sales much. But by being absent from the U.S., Nokia also somewhat insulated itself from the beginnings of the most recent round of the smartphone OS wars. Apple's iPhone hit first and hardest here, followed by Android, Palm's WebOS (for what it's worth), and Windows Phone 7. This is also one of RIM's core markets.
That meant Nokia's software started looking weirdly disengaged from the global trends that started here and later spread. Symbian as it stands is an ugly mess that only makes sense to existing Symbian users. Since Nokia lives in a land where everyone already uses Symbian, it didn't see the threat caused by newer, more usable operating systems.
Why Not Windows Phone 7?
Nokia would have to shift its business model and culture quite dramatically to become a Windows Phone 7 house. There are two kinds of mobile-phone companiesintegrated platform companies and hardware OEMs that use other people's software. That's a simplification, of course; the hardware OEMs like Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and HTC constantly try to set themselves apart by adding tinsel and gewgaws to Android, and RIM's integrated platform is heavily Java-based.
Nokia has always been an integrated platforms company. Even when Symbian was a "foundation," Nokia still ran the S60 platform. To give that freedom up would mean a bigger change than just getting that original mission right. And to become completely dependent on Microsoft for its software might slow Nokia down even further, as every major product decision would need to be approved by two notoriously bureaucracy-laden companies.
If Nokia decided to just become a hardware OEM, the company would be competing with Samsung, LG, HTC, and all of China. That's already a very busy space with some very high-quality players that are much more attuned to that business model than Nokia. I find it hard to believe that Nokia could successfully differentiate in that crowd.
Build or Buy, But Don't Give Up
A recent slide on the Internet showed Nokia's massive R&D budget. It dwarfs Apple's. What the heck are these people working on, cold fusion? Hopefully, it's MeeGo.
We're at a big turning point for mobile operating systems right now. A bunch of mobile OSes from the late 1990s are all simultaneously proving to not be up to the challenges of the 2010s, so we've been watching their makers face up to that reality and write future-facing products. Palm came first, then Microsoft, then RIM. Apple and Google are safe (for now) because their OSes are newer. Nokia needs to swallow hard, realize Symbian is now a low-end feature-phone platform, and move on.
To a great extent, Nokia right now is in the position RIM was a year ago. RIM got aggressive: it identified its problemthat its core OS wasn't designed for the media-heavy experiences consumers now demandand started moving towards a solution by buying Torch, QNX, and TAT. If it executes well, it could pull this transformation off, with a compelling tablet offering this spring and some "super phones" coming this fall. If RIM doesn't execute well it's doomed, but you could say that about any business venture. Palm didn't execute well and was doomed; now it's getting a second chance under HP.
Nokia doesn't need to abandon its software arm. It needs to have a next-generation OS. MeeGo could absolutely be that OS. Like Android, it's Linux-based, but with its own take on things. I've played with Nokia's Maemo devices (MeeGo's predecessors) and they're full of interesting ideas, but Nokia never bothered to develop or sell them beyond the super-geek stage. Obviously, MeeGo needs a polished, consumer-friendly UI. Maybe some of that R&D money could help there; like RIM did, Nokia could afford to buy a design firm. (Click below for a slideshow of Maemo devices.)
If MeeGo's problem is that Nokia is waiting for Intel's mobile-ready x86 chipsets, Nokia needs to tell Intel to hit the road. It's time to commit.
The Symbian-MeeGo transition will be gentler than others, because of Qt. Nokia has been priming its developers to move over to this cross-platform framework for a while now, and if I understand it correctly, Qt makes it very easy for apps to move from Symbian to MeeGo. That's a much smoother path than RIM, Palm, or Microsoft offered to their existing developers.
The first step to solving a problem is to admit you have a problem. Nokia needs to admit Symbian is a problem. On that, Wall Street and I agree. But I don't think that Nokia needs to give up its entire mission and business model to succeed.

The color challenge on SCS this week is to use Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze & Crumb Cake. Dessert is pearls.
I had this dazzling snowflake (the picture doesn't do it justice!) from playing around with the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets in the Holiday Mini. Hint! This doesn't work well with Sizzlits! Some of the snowflakes wouldn't punch through completely. This one did and I sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds on the sticky side. To do this again, I will die cut the snowflake and use glue before adding the Dazzle.
I stamped a few snowflakes on the Crumb Cake with Whisper White, stamped the sentiment and added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds around. I punched the ends of the sentiment piece with the Scallop Trim Corner Punch and mounted that on a scrap piece of leftover Baja DSP from a Christmas pack a couple of years ago. In keeping with the lacy effect of the snowflakes, I punched the edges of the remaining border pieces added a pearl to the center of the big snowflake and ta da, another Christmas card done!
Card Recipe
Stamps: Bright Christmas, Northern Hearts
Ink: Whisper White, Baja Breeze
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze DSP
Accessories: Big Shot, Snowflakes Sizzlit Die, Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet, Dazzling Diamonds, Scallop Trim Corner & Border Punches
Thanks for coming to visit and thanks for all the lovely comments you have been leaving. They really make my day!

Build Your Perfect PC
With retail, direct, and online prices so low, why would anyone want to build his own PC? There are plenty of good reasons to engage in this seemingly irrational behavior. First, you may want a fully loaded machine for gaming and want to handpick optimum components for your performance needs. Second, if you're an IT person at a small to medium-size company, knowing which hard drives, memory choices, power supplies, and so on will help you decide which parts you want your "white-box" supplier to include. Or you may just want a PC in a custom form factor. We include a cube design that will fit in confined spaces where standard machines won't.
But the biggest reason? PC Magazine readers are technology enthusiasts, who enjoy the challenge and sense of accomplishment that comes from building a PC. Once you've built one yourself, you'll have a greater understanding of what goes on under the hood, and you'll know how and what to fix if things go wrong.
When you choose your own parts, don't cut corners with slightly cheaper componentssomething low-cost PC vendors do to increase profit margins. And when you build for yourself, you know that your PC isn't crammed with software and services that you have no use for, such as online services when you already have broadband.
Here we focus on choosing the best parts for your creation. For a step-by-step assembly tutorial, you can go to our Web site at www.pcmag.com/buildorbuy or see "Build or Buy" in our issue of September 16, 2003. You can also visit www.extremetech.com, which regularly covers the art of putting together various kinds of computers. Instead, we take you through the most important part considerations when building four types of machine, ranging from a fire-breathing gaming PC to a modest budget PC, and visiting home theater and compact computers in between.
We compared the performance results of our home-brew machines with the Editors' Choice machines most closely resembling them. As you'll see, you don't have to give up performance when you build your own. Our gaming machine actually outperformed prebuilt PCs that cost more.
Yes, it may take more of your time than simply picking up a box at your local computer store. And it may cost about the same, but the bragging rights you'll earn are priceless.

Yes, CI Posse refers to a bunch of people who support each other with energy and ideas for ecstatic language teaching. But the word posse also means "to be able," and the name CI Posse draws on that: It's a declaration that we can do this and that you can do this. In fact, this work is so doable that you can get started anytime, and doing so just might make your life easier and more enjoyable.
By "do CI," we just mean creating a comfortable environment rich in language that learners understand and want more of. "Oh, is that all?" Actually, it's more doable than you might think, and that's what this post is about. Creating a CI-rich environment is highly doable because it comes down to two things:
1. a set of breakdownable, learnable, practiceable skills
2. acting human
I may have made up one or more of the words in point 1.
The Skills
When you watch a master teacher, it's easy to suspect wizardry. But even wizardry has its building blocks. The building blocks of teaching with CI are discrete skills like speaking slowly and comprehensibly, pointing-and-pausing at words on the board to give students time to process, checking for comprehension, asking strategic questions, defining expectations for participation, and following up on students' interests and opinions.
You can find guidance on these skills, and videos of people employing them, all over the CI-happy interwebs, including at the bottom of this post. You don't need to implement the skills all at once. Pick one to focus on for a while and cut yourself slack for the rest!
Acting Human
Because acquiring and using language is a natural part of being human, watching a class "do CI" can look a lot like, well, just watching good humans being good humans.
Can you listen with interest? Then you can do CI.
Can you ask basic questions about things you want to know or think students might want to know? Then you can do CI.
Can something you learn about someone make you want to ask a follow-up question? Then you can do CI.
Can you use your imagination? Then you can do CI.
This may seem wishy-washy, but it doesn't have to be. While free-for-all conversation can help someone acquire a language efficiently if the total vocabulary isn't too much and learners are actually attending to what is said, there are lots of concrete, step-by-step, practiceable frameworks for generating target language input and interaction. There is TPRS, invented by Blaine Ray. There is the Invisibles process from Ben Slavic and Tina Hargaden. There is La Persona Especial, refined for the language classroom by Bryce Hedstrom. There is Eric Herman's Story Card Magic. There is Free Voluntary Reading, which doesn't have to lead to interaction with a teacher; it can simply provide tons of desirable input. There is Embedded Reading, developed by Laurie Clarcq and Michele Whaley, which can be supplemented with lots of CI-extending tasks. There is talking about pictures, students' quirky skills, random items, or even just what's outside the window.
Now What?
However you structure your CI-rich environment, I recommend getting some formal training and coaching in TPRS, simply because that's a great way to focus on and practice a lot of the bite-size skills that make a target-language interaction effective. But you don't have to wait for formal training to get started. Try one of the routines or frameworks linked above, or just ask students an interesting question--"What's something you're good at?" "What's a place you would love to visit?" "Have you ever been bitten by an animal?" -get an answer from a student or two, and see where the conversation leads, remembering to keep things slower than you might think necessary.
Trying something new in the middle of a long semester can be daunting, but you might actually find that it's really energizing. In the last post, Ben Fisher talked about how this has been the case for him, and I've been writing about the energizing power of novelty as part of a series of ideas for boosting peace and energy in a stressful stretch of school.
And remember that you've got a posse to back you up!
PS. Here is a little video of me with a mixed-age group of Latin beginners at Express Fluency 2017. I hope it features both some of the skills and some of the humanness mentioned in this post. If the video by itself doesn't click for you, you can check out this background info and breakdown of the individual skills involved.

When it comes to our price-tagged range of jewellery, we strive to achieve the best price-quality ratio for our customers. For more information, please click here.
But Baunat's expertise in diamonds goes well beyond this. We will be happy to assist you if, in selecting your jewellery, the diamond (or diamonds) are considered as investments vehicles. Why invest in diamonds? Click here.
Given that in this quest the focus lies on the more exclusive characteristics of diamonds (in terms of colour, clarity and caratage), the absolute prices are notably higher than for the diamonds Baunat uses in its price-tagged jewellery.
However, the Baunat team will still guarantee you the best possible price in investment terms. Therefore, we will only recommend diamonds to you for which – notwithstanding their rarity – demand is widespread, as opposed to the small collector's market where pricing is primarily driven by pure speculation.
What this means is that Baunat will only issue a quote for tailor-made jewellery if the diamond or diamonds (as the most important component of an item of jewellery) is suitable for investment purposes, both in terms of the price-quality ratio and in respect of its resale at a later date. Reselling your investment diamonds? Click here.
Investment diamonds that could be used for this jewellery must consequently satisfy the following conditions:
As stated, the above diamond characteristics guarantee the best price-quality if you consider the diamond or diamonds as an attractive and marketable investment.
Should we have awakened your interest or should you have a particular request, then please do not hesitate to contact our experts or go to our fully dedicated website regarding investment diamonds.

A thing about TV marathons
Saturday September 4th 2010
I don't watch a whole lot of TV (although that new Simon Amstell sitcom is quite good – amirite? amirite?) so it's rare that I get too obsessed with a particular series. Of the various drama box sets I've struggled through, only three have really kept me up all night and they are Twin Peaks, Lost and (groan) The Wire.
A couple of years ago, I went to an event at the Curzon Soho called 'The Wire Weekender'. Basically it was 400 Guardian journalists in a room watching the disappointing fifth season of the popular police drama – in its entirety – across a weekend. There were also Q&As and stuff with the guy who created the show and some of the cast (McNulty FTW).
Now, two additional events have been announced that could (if I hadn't been slightly put off by the experience) complete my trilogy…
Prince Charles Cinema – Monday 13th to Thursday 16th September
'Avid followers of smash-hit TV series Lost are invited to test their dedication to the show by enduring the ultimate fan challenge, as they attempt to watch all 121 episodes back-to-back in the UK's first ever public TV marathon.'
Battersea Arts Centre – Saturday 23rd to Sunday 24th October
'Buy a ticket to the building for a 'Lynch lock-in' comprising installations and performances across BAC, including a 30 hour all-nighter screening of Twin Peaks presented in all of its cinematic glory in BAC's Grand Hall.'
Lost will presumably be shown from Blu-ray but inevitably the Twin Peaks Weekender will be a DVD job. Still, 30 episodes is easier than 121 whichever way you look at it. Even if at least 8 of them are a bit crap.
Incidentally, I tried to blag myself a copy of the upcoming Lost Blu-ray collection and although I didn't quite manage that, I did get hold of the sixth season. And fuck me does Lost look nice on Blu-ray. The entire collection is hard to fault apart from one thing:
Why won't you let me throw you away?

Ergonomic Roller MouseFree 2- HOW TO USE
Use the rollerbar to move the cursor on your screen.You can also click with it. Use the large left button to leftclick and the large right button to right click. (See thelabel around the buttons of your RollerMouse Free2).
Plug your RollerMouse Free2 into your computer's USBport. Allow your computer a moment to automatically installit. Your computer may indicate that it has found a new deviceand is installing it. This process usually takes 10 to 30seconds
Place the keyboard on top of your RollerMouse Free2. The keyboard's front edge should be parallel to the rollerbar. Align the scroll wheel with the center of the alphabetical section of your keyboard. (On most keyboards, this will be between the 'G' and the 'H').
Take a moment to evaluate the height and angle of your keyboard and find the arrangement that's most comfortable for you. The flatter your wrists, the better for your body. If you find the keyboard is too low, simply add height to your keyboard by inserting the keyboard risers.
We recommend that you use the integrated wrist rest, as it is ergonomically designed to help keep your hands, wrists and forearms flat. Simply snap it onto the front edge of your RollerMouse Free2.
To achieve the optimal and most ergonomic working position with your hands and wrists as flat as possible, you may need to adjust the height of your keyboard. We've developed keyboard risers that can help you achieve the right height and angle, regardless of your keyboard type.
Use riser position (A) if you have a keyboard with numeric keypad. If you have a compact keyboard (without a numeric keypad), use the alternative riser position (B) located towards the center of your RollerMouse Free2 for a better fit.
To raise the front edge of your keyboard 5 mm, mount the short risers directly onto the back of your RollerMouse Free2.
If you want to raise the front edge of your keyboard even higher, simply mount the long risers on top of the short risers. If you'd rather a flat, yet raised keyboard simply flip open the small leg on the back of each long riser of your RollerMouse Free2 for a better fit. You might want to try out a number of combinations to find the most comfortable position for you.
You can adjust the amount of pressure required to perform a mouse click. Use the click-force tension slider located under your RollerMouse Free2. Simply slide it until you find the tension that works best for you. Some find it easier to start with high rollerbar tension to avoid accidental clicking while typing. Once familiar with your RollerMouse Free2, you may find it faster with a softer click (ie. lower roller click force tension).
Use the triangular cursor speed button, located between your copy and paste buttons, to select your cursor speed and precision. There are five speed selections to choose from ranging 800 dpi to 1600 dpi. The string of five lights over the button indicates the current cursor speed. You may want to start with a lower cursor speed until you get used to your RollerMouse Free2.
the left or right, but you'd like to continue moving your cursor, don't worry. Simply force the rollerbar slightly further in your intended direction until you hear a gentle click. This activates the end detection and the cursor moves to the end of the screen. Release the rollerbar when the cursor is where you want it. If you find your cursor is too often out of the rollerbar's range, it may be that your selected cursor speed is too low for the way you work. Simply make the necessary adjustments referred to on the previous page.
In most cases, there is no need to install a driver to use the seven pre-programmed buttons. But with a driver it is possible for you to customize these button functions. To find out more and download your driver, go to www.rollermouse.com/driver
Place your RollerMouse Free2 and keyboard a bit away from you so your forearms can rest evenly on the table. Keep your keyboard low and avoid having your wrists bent upwards. Try not to rest your weight only on your wrists. Use your wrist rest to help keep your wrists, hands and forearms flat and aligned.
Regular keyboard no feet
Mac Low Profile Keyboard with long feet that are raised in front and lower in back.
Discover new ways to work. Use both hands and all fingers to distribute movement and create more variation. Try pointing with one hand and clicking with the other.

Build your own Crossbow
Crossbow Sport
Target crossbow shooting is a healthy outdoor (and indoor) sport/hobby which appeals to both sexes and all ages, provided the individual is strong enough to handle the bow. There are restrictions for under 18s (see the law). Our members are from varied sporting and non-sporting backgrounds from archery and rifle shooting to those who thought they would "give it a try".
Clothing is as for archery white, light, inexpensive and unsupportive (no special padding or supportive like target rifle clothing). Shooting is from the standing position (unless in a wheelchair).
Targets are standard archery bosses with archery style target faces ranging from 25cm to 60cm diameter depending on the round being shot.
Members assist each other with advice: string making, bolt making, shooting style and new developments etc and any other information gleaned from International events.
There is a gross misconception that target crossbows have a great hitting power and that the bolts damage archery targets. This is not the case: Yes crossbows may have 2-3 times the draw weight of an archers bow, but the draw length of a crossbow is shorter by a similar amount so the energy input into the projectile is equivalent. Compound archery bows greatly exceed target crossbows in this area. A crossbow bolt also quickly loses its energy over distance so the maximum distance a crossbow target is placed is 65m. compared with up to 100m. for archery. At demonstrations, archers are always surprised at the lack of target bolt penetration.
Through WADS (Wolverhampton Association for Disabled Sport) we organise and assist with friendly shoots for the able bodied, disabled, assisted, blind and amputee crossbow shooters. RSDA (Rugby Sport for the Disabled Association) run a similar indoor event.

What Dating With Dignity And Dating Without Drama Is All About: The Plight Of The Alpha Female
What is dating without drama or dating with dignity actually all about? My method assures your dignity remains intact always. Men don't forget women like this very easily and women who practice these methods of dating without drama or dating with dignity don't remain single very long.
Ruby feels after two months of dating, he should want to move the relationship forward but so far he only sees her once a week with not much communication in between. She is thinking of walking away because she feels so attached already. This is an interesting behavioral pattern of an anxious-avoidant. She wants things to get deeper -and can't wait for that to happen- but at the same time she's scared to get deeper herself without assurance/guarantee that they are a couple (I'm sure you're familiar with the whole routine here).
"So, great date Friday night. Nice dinner, then we went to my place and watched a film. Fooled around. He showered me with compliments, I felt he was really present. When we said goodbye he said "talk to you tomorrow". Then I did not hear from him yesterday. I'm confused because this doesn't feel good. It's been almost 6 weeks. In past relationships where there has been a similar level of intimacy, attraction and interest, a momentum builds due to communication and frequency of seeing each other. Trust builds, too, when people do what they say they will do.
Communication is key here. I get that I'm getting emotionally attached here, but isn't that natural? Isn't it right to have a flag go up if a guy doesn't keep his word? As women, are we always to lean back and just accept whatever he does, even if it doesn't work for us? Feeling conflicted. And yes, still dating other guys, but no one has compared. Is it ok to communicate to him somehow that I love hearing from him?
It's always on his terms which makes me feel a little like a puppet. It seems like a tricky tightrope to strike the balance between being true to yourself and letting him lead, if it's not something that feels good to me. You know? This is hard, Katarina! It's hard because I am a go-getter, a director, an over achiever and I'm wickedly smart. I also had a VERY insecure childhood which left me with a lot of anxiety as an adult, and insecure attachment. I WANT TO FOLLOW YOUR ADVICE! I'm just faced with a lot of emotional stress when I try."
What You Need Are Steps To Manage Your Emotional Investment
A lot of women have a problem with following a man's lead and often come up with an argument like the last paragraph.
And of course a lot of women will communicate what they want or need to the guys they date just because they feel justified with how well things have been and they are ready for more and they can't wait. If they don't, they feel they are being inauthentic or even worse a pushover giving the men "all the power to dictate everything on their own terms."
Then what follows is usually the men telling them they are not ready, or they don't want a relationship or they want to take things slow or they are still feeling burned by their previous relationship or ex or a combo of those answers.
And then the women usually become reactive and take offense that they are not "good enough" to "deserve more" than whatever these guys are capable of giving at the moment so they usually give an ultimatum or walk away hoping these guys will chase them or give them what they want only to find themselves nowhere near ready to pull the plug thanks to the strong attraction and attachment. This is dating with drama.
Everyday in my job this scenario is repeated over and over with different women who are looking for answers on how to deal with this issue.
There are a few things that warrant serious scrutiny here:
1. How can you feel so deep about a guy who keeps a safe distance from you, who only sees you once a week and with little communication in between? Isn't it your own wishful thinking of his potential instead of who he actually is magnified in your head with more wishful thinking? That's what makes you over-invest in any guy, because you keep fantasizing about what it could be instead of seeing it for what it truly is.
And this is actually common among women who are avoidant (emotionally unavailable) themselves. They fall for the guy exactly because he's safe and distant. Say for whatever reason, he's so sure about wanting a relationship with them, I bet they'll run for the nearest hills cause "he's just needy" or "possessive."
You are not ready yourself for anything serious.
I know I wasn't when I first met my ex, having just been out of a 9-year relationship but I thought I wanted a relationship. So I was gravitated to him because he was safe and distant because I needed the distance myself to sort my head out and regain and enjoy my independence. But of course I didn't know back then. Hindsight is always 20/20. Ruby, having just broken up from her boyfriend only a less than a year ago, is exactly in that stage.
2. Bringing the talk only makes you appear presumptuous,dramatic and pushy. He speaks to you clearly of his "intentions" (and all those things you require from a man) with his actions. He hasn't included you much in his life. It's because he doesn't want to or he's not ready for that. You telling him what you think he should do or what you want isn't going to make him grow more liking toward you or want to come closer to you. It's in fact the total opposite. If the thousands of women who find me thanks to this junk advice of bringing up the talk are of any indication, it's really a waste of time and energy to even contemplate doing this.
3. You getting all huffed and puffed because he's not where you are at the moment even makes you less appealing to him. It's just too much drama. He likes you, he enjoys your company but he feels like you're making him an asshole for not wanting what you want exactly when you want it. That is pretty bossy and pushy, isn't it, now that someone puts it that way?
If a guy isn't giving me an indication that he's ready for anything hot and heavy I'll feel so icky and awkward about bringing this subject up with him. It's like asking a colleague if she/he has STD's. It's none of your business. He's having his boundaries and I'm stepping all over them because I feel justified to feel how I feel for whatever reason I hold in my head. A lot of women do that and they are not getting what they want cause it shows a lack of decorum and it is plain reactive and unattractive. It smacks desperation. He wants a prize, not a desperate housewife wannabe.
You lose a score or five in his eyes, that's why he's reluctant to run after you. Putting a guy in a corner never works. Most men stay away from drama.
You are allowed your own pace but until he is on the same page as you, it's really futile to force your pace on him. Why isn't he allowed his pace? What is the purpose of this drama prone guilt trip imposed on him? It's only two months after all, not two years!
4. "Everything on his terms" is following and trusting his leadership in my book. If you aren't comfortable following a man's lead, then you are not cut out to be with a masculine man -which entails MOST MEN. And if you have seen repeated same problems in your previous relationships, it's time to change that mindset or stay trapped.
5. You don't want a guy who does things because he has to anyway. In the long run, you want him to want to do all those things because his heart, his love and adoration toward you compel him to do so, not because you tell him to do so or threaten him.
You want to be a high-value woman in his eyes so you gotta stop all these chasing behaviors (yes bringing up the talk is chasing) that are simply not high-value and downright pushy, needy and masculine. Yes you are an alpha female but if you want an alpha male, you gotta at least act beta with him.
What you have to do is to manage your investment and attraction. Yes they are actually manageable. Use your single card, that is what rotation is for. Find a few guys who are just like him and you will never have to so get ahead of yourself or any guy.
My method assures your dignity intact in every situation. Even when he's not ready or he's not the one, when you move on he won't easily forget a woman like you because you leave such an imprint in his mind. You impress him so much. He has never met a woman like you: so dignified, so cool, so mature, so soft, feminine and non reactive. And if there is ever a chance for both of you to have a relationship in the future, you'll be the first whose door he knocks on. But of course he has to be real swift because a woman like you doesn't stay single for very long.
That recognition from any man will further strengthen your self-esteem and you will see that there is no need for all these anxiety induced expectations and expectation induced anxiety whatsoever.
A high-value woman doesn't have to play hard to get (if that means making him jumping through hoops) but she surely is very easy to lose.
This is what dating with dignity is all about. It's a terrific training ground for your personal growth. Now to go further along on the path, you won't want to miss my Journey Inward and Four Components Of Melting His Heart group coaching through which my client Chrissy managed to melt her man's heart so much even before the end of the program that he proposed!
UPDATE: Ruby just got engaged on August 18, 2015 (engagement no. 25 in 2015), not to this one but the guy after him! She practiced what I told her on this article on him and it worked like a charm. Congrats, Ruby. You too can be my next! (more update: They're now married!)

Kumar, Srinivas VVK and Kumar, Rathish BV and Das, PC (2006) Weighted extended B-spline method for the approximation of the stationary Stokes problem. In: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 186 (2). pp. 335-348.

Download (209kB) | Request a copy
A new stabilized, mesh-free method for the approximation of the Stokes problem, using weighted extended B-splines (WEB-splines) as shape functions has been proposed. The web-spline based bilinear velocity-constant pressure element satisfies the so called inf-sup condition or Ladyshenskaya-Babuska-Brezzi (LBB) condition. The main advantage of this method over standard finite element methods is that it uses regular grids instead of irregular partitions of domain, thus eliminating the difficult and time consuming pre-processing step.Convergence and Condition number estimates are derived. Numerical experiments in two space dimensions confirm the theoretical predictions.

Children's Home of Lubbock is one of this year's recipients of The Avalanche-Journal's Goodfellows campaign, which accepts donations from readers to benefit charitable organizations.
President Lynn Harms shares some information about the nonprofit:
Programs: The Children's Home of Lubbock operates an emergency shelter where Child Protective Services can place children who have been removed from homes at any time, day or night.
The home also operates campus care, comprising basic care, step-up care for children with emotional and/or psychological needs, cottages for teen mothers to live with their children while learning to care for them and cottages for older boys, where they are taught to begin living independently in anticipation of their eventual transition into society.
The home also arranges about 20 adoptions each year.
Monetary needs: The Children's Home of Lubbock operates on a roughly $5 million budget, with 50 percent to 60 percent of that coming from state funds. The remaining 40 percent to 50 percent is financed through private donations from churches, businesses and individuals. As state funds are cut, the home will be seeking additional private funding to continue to provide the same level of care with less money from the state.
Volunteers: Volunteers with the Children's Home of Lubbock can do activities with the children. Many volunteers sponsor children, for instance taking a group of siblings to explore opportunities away from the campus. Technically, foster parents, who care for the nearly 60 children a year placed in foster care through the home, are volunteers.

Discovery Channel says it has not renewed "American Guns," won't air reruns from its past two seasons and will no longer feature gun advocate Ted Nugent.
"American Guns" wrapped its second season Sept. 5. The ratings hit reality show is about a family who runs a successful gun shop in Colorado.
"'American Guns' concluded earlier this year," the network said in a statement. "Discovery Channel chose not to renew the series and has no plans to air repeats of the show."
E! News said the network did not say whether the decision to cancel the show was directly connected to last week's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The Raw Story website reported Tuesday a Discovery Channel representative confirmed Nugent will not be featured in future programs. The representative, who did not want to go on record, said the heavy metal guitarist's show -- "Ted Nugent's Gun Country" -- attracted only about 864,000 viewers when it was televised in October.
Nugent had told listeners of Armed American Radio -- which bills itself as the official radio program of The United States Concealed Carry Association -- to "expect that there will be at least a dozen shows a year."
The Discovery Channel representative told The Raw Story no plan had been in the works to turn Nugent's show into a series.
Nugent's publicist did not respond to a request for comment, The Raw Story said.

The unofficial start to the weekend was very summer-like, as temperatures soared into the 80's Saturday. And Sunday will bring a repeat performance.
For the most part, the skies will be partly cloudy. But a frontal boundary, slicing through the warm and humid airmass, will spark the threat of thunderstorms Sunday afternoon/evening.
Much like the storms that rolled through the Lehigh Valley Saturday, these storms will also be scattered. This means not everyone will see storms, but if you do, prepare for a heavy downpours, gusty winds and possible hail.
The best advice is to keep an eye to the sky and head indoors if you see a storm approaching.
Monday brings more clouds and cooler temperatures in the upper 70s.

In total 330 midwives from the south east of Sweden and 1280 Swedish obstetricians/gynecologists were asked to answer a study-specific questionnaire anonymously about their opinions on different issues concerning CS. The majority of obstetricians/gynecologists and midwives had more than 10 years of experience in their professions (75.2% vs. 73.6%). The midwives thought that a reasonable CS rate would be 11.5% whereas the corresponding figures for the obstetricians/gynecologists was 13.8% (P andlt; 0.001). There are differences in opinions and attitudes concerning both CS rates and other aspects in connection with CS. There are evident differences in attitudes towards CS and mode of delivery between midwives and obstetricians/gynecologists. These need to be explored and discussed in relation to state-of-the-art knowledge and should become a part of the curriculum for both groups of professionals both in training as well as on a regular clinical basis.

The legend of Dr. Leonid Pavel continues to grow. Earlier this week a few fictional documents were released explaining that the character played by Alon Abotabul in The Dark Knight Rises is a nuclear physicist looking for extradition to America with the help of an undisclosed militia.
But, as you might expect, that's not all. Yesterday Fire Rises, a Twitter account that's posted all kinds of Dark Knight Rises links in the past, sent out a simple message with the "firerises" hashtag and the supposed CIA file image to the right. As you can see, this continues the story of Pavel, stating that Operative FO439 will be leading the team to extradite the scientist. The document even goes so far as to name the mission Operation Early Bird.
An online search for "Operation Early Bird" uncovers operationearlybird.com, a website featuring a countdown clock ticking down to 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT. Keep your eyes peeled to see what happens there. This might be the first official wide-release footage from the film, if it turns out to feature video.
In the meantime, check out Comic Book Resources' report from the special screening of the opening sequence of The Dark Knight Rises, which will be shown in select IMAX theaters with Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol.
Opening July 20, director Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale as Batman, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Tom Hardy as Bane, Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake, Michael Caine as Alfred, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox.
UPDATE: As visitors to OperationEarlyBird.com may have discovered -- at least if heavy traffic hasn't brought down the website -- the clock ticked down to map showing locations in the United States, Canada and United Kingdom for special advance screenings on Tuesday of The Dark Knight Rises prologue. Fans must register through Gofobo.com for their passes.

Category talk:Liger characters
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
I know this isn't a category pattern we've used much, but I'm wondering about a merge / rename to make this Liger and Tigon characters, or perhaps Liger or Tigon characters. There aren't many of the latter, and my impression is that Liger may be used to describe a Liger-Tiger hybrid without strict reference to which parent is which. -- Sine 23:51, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

During an exciting finale to the Tucson Invite for the University of Redlands baseball team, first-year center-fielder Payton Walsh (Santa Ana, CA) embraced the moment to hit a big-time, walk-off single for two RBI to take down Whitman College (WA) in a 10-inning, 9-8 battle.
The Bulldogs jumped out to a fast start with junior third baseman Anthony Acosta's (Simi Valley, CA) single to left field. Senior shortstop Aaron Singh (Anaheim, CA) followed that up with a bomb to right field for a triple to bring Acosta home for the first score of the game. Singh also made it home on the ensuing sacrifice fly for Redlands' early 2-0 lead.
However, the Blues took advantage of costly errors in the second frame that resulted in a 3-2 lead for Whitman.
But the Bulldogs were unfazed, as junior left-fielder Tony Rosario (Monterey Park, CA) knocked a single to left field that scored senior catcher Bart In den Kleef (Oosterhout, Netherlands) to tie the game. The Bulldogs eventually loaded the bases and gained a run after an error from the Blues, which gave Redlands a 4-3 advantage after two.
Despite facing adversity with loaded bases in the top of the third inning, first-year pitcher Andrew Rueter (San Diego, CA) threw a slick pitch to catch the Whitman batter looking to escape the inning with no runs scored.
The Maroon and Gray extended the lead with its third consecutive, two-run inning for a 6-3 advantage. With sophomore right-fielder Cal Bridges (Fremont, CA) on second, first-year designated hitter Chris Hardin (Highland, CA) knocked a powerful triple over Whitman's leaping outfielder to bring him home. Hardin then scored on Rosario's sacrifice fly to put Redlands in front by a score of 6-3 through just three innings.
Rueter pitched his second straight clean inning in the fourth, while first-year shortstop Max Smyley (Sarasota, FL) scored on a sacrifice fly for Redlands' comfortable 7-3 lead.
However, Whitman slowly worked back into the game with one run in each of the next four innings to eventually tie it up at seven by the bottom of the eighth. The stage was set for the Bulldogs' storybook ending with both teams producing efficient innings to force extra innings.
In the top of the 10th, senior second baseman Eduardo Martinez-Razo (Rialto, CA) made a tough grab on a fast-moving ball and then performed a diving throw to senior first baseman Brendan Moore (Murrieta, CA) for the inaugural out of the inning. After a similar play for the second out, Whitman made it on base for the eventual go-ahead run.
With one score to make up at the bottom of the 10th, the Bulldogs battled at the plate against the Whitman closer to load the bases. With two outs and two strikes, Walsh embraced the moment with composure and knocked a walk-off single down left center for the crowd-pleasing victory.
Redlands (2-4) prepares for another road trip, as the team heads to Austin, TX, for four games. The Bulldogs face the University of Texas at Dallas on Friday, February 15, at 11 a.m.
