Save Jenna from the pole!
In a bid to save herself from becoming a stripper in order to pay for her training, triathlete, Olympic hopeful, and gobsmackingly attractive ur-femme Jenna Shoemaker auctioned herself on eBay.
More precisely, the California-born Shoemaker's offered a dinner "date" at a restaurant "mutually agreed upon" lasting 2.5 hours (precise, these triathletes) and an autographed race kit worn during her 2009 season.
U.S. & World
No word on whether she'd mind if you intently ogle her ... abs?
Shoemaker wasn't really considering stripping -- it was apparently a joking reference on her Facebook page -- but she was "advised to get a job this fall so that come January I will be able to train full time without worrying about money."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with [stripping]," Shoemaker said, "but it's not my style. Some things need to be left to the imagination."
But therein lay the problem: observers used their imaginations, and decided what Shoemaker was doing -- selling her body?! -- was shameful.
"You did this primarily for personal gain - be it publicity or money. Shameful," wrote one of the many commenters.
The triathlete community largely leapt to her defense, and Shoemaker said she was astounded by the negative reaction.
"It's a shame that everyone is raking me over hot coals," Shoemaker wrote on her blog, explaining that she'd decided to donate the proceeds from the auction to breast cancer research.
"There are so many amazing and talented athletes who are so gifted but so broke and it's just such a shame that there isn't more money to support all of us," she wrote.
Sadly, for all the furor over her auction, nobody -- not Shoemaker, not breast cancer research -- will be making much money off this. Shoemaker received only five bids, with the winner offering up $275.
Here's hoping the dinner was, ah, revealing.

I don't know how many people are actually still into Minecraft, but if you are, here is a monster from the game that was requested by a user. Today we will be learning "how to draw a cave spider", or a Minecraft spider. These things are considered to be mobs, and the effects of being near a cave spider is you will have a hostile response because they prefer to be alone. If you are near a spider at night, dark, or in dark shadowy places you will definitely bump into one of these night crawlers. You might want to grab your ruler for this tut because like with all Minecraft figures, this will be made from various blocks and shapes. Enjoy folks, then come back for more drawing fun.

Steve Jobs

Descripción de editorial
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.
Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.
Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple's hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.
If not the greatest of computer moguls, the late Apple Computer co-founder was certainly the most colorful and charismatic to judge by this compelling biography. Journalist Isaacson (Albert Einstein) had his subject's intimate cooperation but doesn't shy away from Jobs's off-putting traits: the egomania; the shameless theft of ideas; the "reality distortion field" of lies and delusions; the veering between manipulative charm and cold betrayal; the bullying rages, profanity and weeping; the bizarre vegetarian diets that he believed would ward off body odor and cancer (he was tragically wrong on both counts). Isaacson also sees the constructive flip-side of Jobs's flaws, arguing that his crazed perfectionism and sublime sense of design he wanted even his computers' circuit boards to be visually elegant begat brilliant innovations, from the Mac to the iPad, that blended "poetry and processors." The author oversells Jobs as the digital artiste pitting well-crafted, vertically integrated personal computing experiences against the promiscuously licensed, bulk-commodity software profferred by his Microsoft rival Bill Gates. (Gates's acerbic commentary on Jobs's romanticism often steals the page.) Still, Isaacson's exhaustively researched but well-paced, candid and gripping narrative gives us a great warts-and-all portrait of an entrepreneurial spirit and one of the best accounts yet of the human side of the computer biz.

Beyond boundaries and the intersection between arts and science
Early in my life I found a desire to meet with the last frontier in all fields: math, physics, biology, astronomy, etc. I found trouble deciding between humanities or science... This intersection was clear for Jobs and is an example of how you can be there too. Walter also wrote this biography with the attention to detail that was characteristic of Jobs. Thank you for doing such a professional work.
Great job!!
Walter Isaacson did a great job gathering all the information and testimonials from people around the visionary...

Panoramic view of Cuenca from the bridge
Cuenca Cathedral, 12th-13th centuries
Come and explore Cuenca, whose historic centre has the UNESCO World Heritage designation. Its buildings blend in perfectly with stunning natural landscapes. This fusion of art and nature give this city in the Castile-La Mancha region, in inland Spain, a special atmosphere. Shall we start the walk?
Cuenca is 170 kilometres from Madrid, in the Castile-La Mancha region. The first thing you will notice is the cultural heritage of a city that maintains intact its appearance of a medieval fortress, with its palaces, stately houses, towers, churches, convents, streets, squares and walkways. Its historic centre is packed with civil and religious buildings of different artistic styles, the majority constructed between the 12th and 18th centuries.
Before strolling through the centre of Cuenca, we would recommend that you take a look from a distance: seeing how the city "hangs" from the rock is spectacular. From the San Pablo Convent, now home to a Parador Hotel, you will be able to enjoy this view, with the San Pablo Bridge suspended over the Huécar Canyon, along with the façades of the Hanging Houses, the city's most emblematic structures, defying the gorge below. These buildings are excellent examples of traditional architecture. They are currently home to the Spanish Museum of Abstract Art, not to be missed, given that it has one of Europe's best collections in the genre.
Cuenca is even more stunning on weekend nights, when the area of monuments is fully illuminated. Try and stay the night in the city if you can. It is well worthwhile. The following await you in its streets: the Cathedral (12th-13th centuries), the first example of Gothic architecture in Spain. Its façade is the only one in the country in Anglo-Norman style; the area surrounding Plaza Mayor Square, with emblematic buildings such as the Town Hall; networks of narrow streets, hills, staircases, underground passes and stone walls that lead to places such as Nuestra Señora de las Angustias Shrine and San Miguel Church, from where you can enjoy stunning views of the area… There are numerous itineraries to follow. The best thing is to head to the Tourist Office, where they will help you to plan your stay.
In the area surrounding Cuenca and the rest of the province there are many interesting routes and excursions where the countryside plays the lead. Don't miss the Enchanted City. It is 36 kilometres from Cuenca and is an area of weird rock formations that look like animals and objects. Get ready to live an unforgettable journey in this fascinating land.

As the 2011-12 broadcast season comes to an end tonight it's fitting that Wednesday night is the last night of the 2012-13 schedule we'll take a peek at (the other nights are here).
Six new shows on Wednesdays (same as Tuesday night). Three new comedies, and three new dramas.
ABC puts rookie sitcom The Neighbors in the post-Modern Family "We really don't want to cancel this show" timeslot followed by the new musical drama Nashville.
Fox has sophomore The X Factor scheduled for two hours, instead of 90 minutes, with no 30 min "sitcom launch" slot. Perhaps Britney and Demi need that extra half hour, it certainly didn't do the sitcoms any good.
CBS goes with exactly the same line up as Fall 2011.
NBC puts two rookies into their 8pm comedy block, Animal Practice and Guys With Kids. New drama Chicago Fire follows Law & Order:SVU, which moves back to 9pm in a slot that didn't treat it particularly well in the past.
The CW pairs rookie drama Arrow with the relocated from Friday veteran Supernatural.
Take a trip down memory lane with last season's 2011 Wednesday Fall schedule:

Amethyst is a combination birth control pill that contains the hormones ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel (Mirena). It's used to prevent pregnancy.
Amethyst works by preventing the release of an egg from an ovary and causing changes in the cervical mucus of the uterine lining, making it harder for the fertilized egg to attach.
Birth control pills such as Amethyst may also be used to make periods more regular, ease painful periods, decrease the risk of ovarian cysts, and treat acne.
Amethyst is a continuous cycle birth control pill, which means users typically don't experience a menstrual period while they are taking the medicine.
Oral birth control pills may increase your risk of breast cancer, liver cancer, heart attack, stroke, or serious blood clot.
Smoking while taking oral birth control pills can increase the chances of serious or life-threatening side effects, especially among women over 35 years of age who smoke 15 or more cigarettes a day.
Don't smoke while taking Amethyst.
Amethyst may also increase your risk of developing liver tumors that are not cancerous. However, these tumors can rupture and cause serious bleeding in the body.
You shouldn't take Amethyst if you have:
Before taking birth control pills, tell your doctor if you have any of the following medical conditions:
Also, tell your physician if you're on bed rest or are unable to walk for any reason before taking this medicine.
Amethyst may cause skin discoloration. Avoid unnecessary sun exposure, sunlamps, and tanning beds while using this medicine.
If you're having surgery, including a dental procedure, tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking Amethyst.
You may experience breakthrough bleeding while using this medicine, especially during the first three months. Tell your doctor if the bleeding continues or is very heavy.
If you wear contact lenses and notice vision changes while taking Amethyst, you should see an eye doctor.
You might need to use back-up birth control methods when you first start taking this medicine. Follow your doctor's instructions.
You also might need to use a back-up birth control method if you're sick with severe vomiting or diarrhea.
Amethyst can cause birth defects. You shouldn't use this medication during pregnancy.
Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant or miss two menstrual periods in a row while taking Amethyst.
If you've recently had a baby, wait at least four weeks before starting on this medicine.
It might take you longer to become pregnant after stopping birth control pills. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about this possibility.
Hormones in this drug can pass into breast milk and may harm a breastfeeding baby. Don't use Amethyst if you're breastfeeding.
In rare instances, Amethyst may causes weight loss or weight gain.
However, you should not experience dramatic weight loss or weight gain while taking this drug.
If you do, talk to your doctor.
Tell your doctor if any of the following side effects become severe or don't go away:
Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following serious side effects:
Tell your doctor about all prescription, non-prescription, illegal, recreational, herbal, nutritional, or dietary drugs you're taking while taking Amethyst, especially:
Follow the directions on your prescription label of Amethyst. Don't take more or less of the medicine than is recommended.
Each Amethyst packet contains 28 active white pills. Take one pill each day, no more than 24 hours apart, until the pack is empty.
When your pills run out, start a new pack the following day. It's important to get your prescription refilled in a timely manner, so you don't run out of pills.
Your doctor will tell you when to start taking the pills and if you need to use a back-up birth control method.
If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately.
You can get in touch with a poison control center at (800) 222-1222.
If you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember and take the next pill at your regular time. This means you may take two pills on the same day.
You could become pregnant if you have sex during the seven days after you restart your pills. Use a non-hormonal birth control method as a back-up for those seven days.
Two missed pills (and you remember on the day of the second missed pill): Take the two missed pills on the day you remember.
Then, the following day, go back to the one-pill-a-day schedule.
Three or more missed pills: Contact your doctor about what to do if you miss three or more pills in a row.

text: Along with his contemporary Wynn Stewart, Tommy Collins was one of the first country musicians to establish a distinctive Bakersfield, CA, sound. During the course of the '50s, he released a series of hit singles that lightened up the tone of honky tonk with bouncing backbeats, novelty lyrics, and electric guitars. Collins explored a more serious side with his ballads, yet they continued to sound slightly different than his peers -- though they weren't as polished as the countrypolitan coming out of Nashville, they didn't have the grit of honky tonk. Legions of West Coast country performers -- most notably Buck Owens, who played guitar on several of Collins' hit singles, and Merle Haggard -- built on the sound that Collins established in the early '50s. Collins wasn't able to cash in on the Bakersfield craze of the '60s. By then, he had already quit the music business once, and was mounting a marginally successful comeback. Nevertheless, his influence loomed large, particularly on Haggard, who took Collins' "Carolyn" and "The Roots of My Raising" to the top of the charts in the early '70s. Collins (b. Leonard Raymond Sipes) was born just outside of Oklahoma City, spending his entire childhood in Oklahoma, where his father worked for the county. As a child, he began to sing and write songs, eventually appearing on local radio shows. Following his high-school graduation in 1948, he attended Edmond State Teachers College while he continued to perform music. During this time, he made a handful of singles for the California-based record label Morgan. In the early '50s, he was in the Army for a brief time, before he moved to Bakersfield with his friend Wanda Jackson and her family. Shortly afterward, the Jackson family moved back to Oklahoma, leaving Collins alone in Bakersfield. In a short time, Collins had begun to make friends and contacts within the city, eventually becoming friends with Ferlin Husky, and the pair roomed together. After recording a handful of Collins' songs, Husky convinced his record company, Capitol, to offer Collins a record contract, and the fledging singer/songwriter signed to the label in June of 1953; at the time of signing, he adopted his stage name of Tommy Collins, since it sounded more commercial than Leonard Sipes. Capitol and Collins immediately assembled a backing band, which featured a then-unknown Buck Owens on lead guitar. Following one unsuccessful single, Collins released the jaunty "You Better Not Do That," which became a huge hit in early 1954, spending seven weeks at number two on the country charts. Since the song was a success, Collins continued to pursue a lighthearted, near-novelty direction with his subsequent hits, and the formula initially worked. Between the fall of 1954 and the spring of 1955, he had three Top Ten hits -- "Whatcha Gonna Do Now," "Untied," and "It Tickles" -- and in the fall of 1955, the double A-sided single "I Guess I'm Crazy" and "You Oughta See Pickles Now," which both reached the Top 15. In addition to these hit singles, Faron Young had a huge hit with Collins' "If You Ain't Lovin'," which was one of many songs that Collins wrote but didn't record that became hits. Collins was on the fast road to major success, but it stopped just as soon as it began. Collins had a religious conversion in early 1956, and much of the material he recorded that year was sacred music; occasionally, he recorded duets with his wife Wanda Lucille Shahan as well. In 1957, Collins enrolled in the Golden Gate Baptist Seminary with the intention of becoming a minister. Two years later, he became a pastor. During all of his religious teachings, Collins continued to record for Capitol, but neither he nor the label was much interested in promoting his records, and he had no hits. When his contract with the label expired in 1960, he stopped recording and enrolled as a student at Sacramento State College. For the next two years, he studied at the university. In early 1963, Collins decided he was unfulfilled by the ministry, so he left the church and headed back to Bakersfield with the intention of reentering the music business. Capitol agreed to re-sign him, and in 1964 he returned to the lower reaches of the charts with "I Can Do That," a duet with his wife, Wanda. With the help of Johnny Cash, Collins switched labels and signed with Columbia in 1965; the following year, he had a Top Ten hit with "I Can't Bite, Don't Growl." For the next few years, he had a string of minor hit singles, none of which cracked the country Top 40. During this time, he also toured with his protégés, Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, acting as their opening act. By the early '70s, both Collins' professional and personal lives were on the verge of collapse, due to his increasing dependency on drugs and alcohol. In 1971, Wanda filed for divorce, sending Collins into a deep depression. Collins began to recover by continuing to write songs, many of which were recorded by Merle Haggard, including the 1972 number one hit single "Carolyn." In 1976, Collins moved to Nashville, where he was able to secure a contract with Starday Records. Later that year, he released Tommy Collins Callin', a collection of his own versions of songs he had provided for other artists. Following the album's release, Collins turned almost entirely to professional songwriting. In 1981, Merle Haggard had a hit single with "Leonard," his tribute to Collins. After the release of "Leonard," the spotlight again turned to Collins, who was now sober. Collins signed a songwriting contract with Sawgrass Music, where his most notable success was Mel Tillis' Top Ten 1984 hit, "New Patches." Throughout the '80s, Collins kept a low profile, though his songs continued to be recorded. George Strait recorded some Collins compositions during the decade, taking a new version of "If You Ain't Lovin'" to number one on the country charts. European record companies like Bear Family began reissuing his recordings, which led to an appearance at the 1988 Wembley Country Music Festival in England. In 1993, Collins signed a new publishing contract with Ricky Skaggs Music and continued to write songs professionally throughout the mid-'90s, dying at his home in Ashland City, TN, on March 14, 2000. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

On this day I set out to conquer the sugar hurdle and attempt a recipe from this month's Bon Appétit, homemade marshmallows.
The recipe is pretty simple, consisting mostly of sugar, gelatin, vanilla, and water, along with a few other things, so the ingredients didn't cause me any consternation. What has always beaten me is the boiling of the sugar. This step, above all others, had me on my toes. One way or another, I always end up with a syrupy, crystalline mess in my pot, rather than a smooth, pourable, syrup. Today, however, I was careful, took my time, and double and triple check my temps. The temperature of the sugar was another issue for me. The recipe calls for you to boil the sugar until it reaches a final temperature of 240° F, which is fine if you're at sea level. Me, however, I live in northern Utah at an altitude of about 4500 feet. Living this high up, water boils not at 212°, but at 203°. This fact has been my undoing on many a baking or candy making endeavor, so I had to make an adjustment. After consulting a variety of sources, I settled on reducing the target temperature by 2° for ever 1000 feet about sea level. Thus I set my probe thermometer to start screaming at 231°. The results speak for themselves. ^_^
They taste just like marshmallows, so I think I can call them a success.
The great thing about the recipe, is that you can probably change out the vanilla for just about any flavor your heart desires, and the imagination can dream. Amaretto marshmallows, anyone? How about lemon, or chocolate, or coffee, or rum? The possibilities are quite intriguing. ^_^
And if you were about to ask, yes, they are wonderful when roasted atop the stove.
Homemade Marshmallows
à la Bon Appétit, July 2008
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 cup cold water, divided3 1/4-ounce envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup potato starch*
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Line 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan with foil.
Coat foil lightly with nonstick spray. Pour 1/2 cup cold water into bowl of heavy-duty mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Sprinkle gelatin over water. Let stand until gelatin softens and absorbs water, at least 15 minutes.
Combine 2 cups sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup cold water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over mediumlow heat until sugar dissolves, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Attach candy thermometer to side of pan. Increase heat and bring syrup to boil. Boil, without stirring, until syrup reaches 240°F, about 8 minutes.
With mixer running at low speed, slowly pour hot syrup into gelatin mixture in thin stream down side of bowl (avoid pouring syrup onto whisk, as it may splash). Gradually increase speed to high and beat until mixture is very thick and stiff, about 15 minutes. Add vanilla and beat to blend, about 30 seconds longer.
Scrape marshmallow mixture into prepared pan. Smooth top with wet spatula. Let stand uncovered at room temperature until firm, about 4 hours.
Stir potato starch and powdered sugar in small bowl to blend. Sift generous dusting of starch-sugar mixture onto work surface, forming rectangle slightly larger than 13x9 inches. Turn marshmallow slab out onto starch-sugar mixture; peel off foil. Sift more starch-sugar mixture over marshmallow slab. Coat large sharp knife (or cookie cutters) with nonstick spray. Cut marshmallows into squares or other shapes. Toss each in remaining starch-sugar mixture to coat. Transfer marshmallows to rack, shaking off excess mixture.
*A food thickener made from cooked, dried, ground potatoes, this gluten free flour is also known as potato flour; available at most supermarkets.

text: If you think Ferris Bueller's Day Off is just a lighthearted comedy, author and journalist Hadley Freeman would like to have a word with you. Her encyclopedic knowledge of 80s films combines with a keen eye for cultural and political zeitgeist, to put a new perspective on much-loved classics. In this discussion about her book, "Life Moves Pretty Fast: The Lessons We Learned From 80s Movies", she explores the social commentary contained in these films, and compares that with the state of cinema (and TV) today. Oh, and you might want to block off time to rewatch some classic movies afterwards.

How can I detect if a key is currently being pressed down?
It doesn't have to be multi-platform.
It only needs to work on Windows.
I'm using Bloodshed Dev-C++ if it makes any difference.
I've tried using getch(), but it waits for a key press, rather than checking if the key is pressed down at the moment.
Alternatively, checking what the last key to be pressed down was would work in my situation too.
Would be nice if someone could throw in a code example.Code:while(1) { if(is key "x" being pressed down? or alternatively: was "x" the last key to be pressed?) { // do something } // do something else / continue looping // regardless of wether or not the key is pressed, // without waiting for any input }
Thanks in advance.

Days of Our Lives, The Bold and the Beautiful, General Hospital: When I used to work on newspapers it was journalistic thinking that a list of three of anything — three sightings of groovy over-the-knee boots on the subway, three Hollywood divorces, three murders in a Queens neighborhood — signal the birth a new trend. Now, with the leave-takings of three leading men — Peter Reckell (Bo) from Days of Our Lives and Ronn Moss (Ridge) from The Bold and the Beautiful (both because of reduced salaries), and the rumored departure of Steve Burton from General Hospital (do you believe it will actually happen?) — we practically have another new daytime trend. And central, long-term veteran actors abandoning our sinking shows has become a really serious problem. I guess this is a sign of the soap times, as the daytime drama medium implodes all the more.
Can headwriters successfully handle the exits of the centerpiece actors of their shows? Or will the loss of these leading men leave too big a hole in their shows and cause ratings slides? Can recasts of such important central characters work? In the past, replacements in roles that were defined by the very long-term actors who played them were hard to adjust to initially. But the new [Read more…]

One of the launch titles for the Nintendo 3DS will be Samurai Warriors Chronicles, a series whose devoted fan base is 40 percent female, says publisher Koei.
Hisashi Koinuma, the developer overseeing the Samurai Warriors series, quoted the figure to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. Koinuma said he thought the series was appealing because the development team, and the game, don't make a distinction between good and evil.
'Course, it could also be something a little less sophisticated, like the fact the games can be played entirely by hitting a single button, Koinuma said. That makes it accessible to those who don't play more complex action titles.
Koinuma added that Samurai Warriors' female fans also send the characters chocolates on Valentine's Day, which the developers eat since the warlords, of course, cannot.

This was the headline in a recent Courier Mail article that should strike fear into the heart of every small business owner. Why? Because it refers to Clive Palmers company Queensland Nickel (QN) that has been grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons over the last two years. As it currently stands, liquidators are chasing millions of dollars in payments that were made to suppliers and service providers to QN in the months leading up to the collapse. There are some creditors being pursued for amounts in excess of $100,000, which is a massive hit for any business to take!
Liquidators are obligated to recover funds for creditors where possible. Under the Corporations Act, payments made to creditors up to six months before their appointment can be recovered as "unfair preferential payments". It is usually bad enough when a client you have been dealing with goes under owing you thousands of dollars. But, what can be even worse is if a Liquidator has the ability to recover money from you that you have already been paid and likely reinvested into your business! This happens more often than most people realise.
So imagine your biggest client falls over tomorrow. What is the client worth to you in revenue each month? Now, multiply that figure by a factor of six. Whatever amount you come up with, ask yourself the serious question, "can I afford to take a hit that big if a Liquidator comes knocking?" Yes, it is worst case scenario, but even if it isn't your biggest client, even a mid-sized client falling over can be enough to send a small business over the edge. Do you really want to run the risk and test out the theory?
The ATO and the Federal Government have been leading the push for companies to be wound up in recent times. The very latest news out of Townsville now has the local mayor campaigning for the Corporations Act to be changed to protect business from such scenarios. Any change to such legislation is far from guaranteed and would be many years off from being implemented even if it did occur. And that is a big "if".
But what a lot of people don't realise is that the legislation already exists to protect small business from such scenarios. Under the Corporations Act, liquidators only have the ability to pursue a preference payment from an "unsecured creditor". Secured creditors have automatic immunity. How do you become a secured creditor? A simple registration on the PPS Register (www.ppsr.gov.au) over your client gives you secured creditor status. It lasts for up to seven years and provides automatic peace of mind in the event a worst case insolvency scenario unfolds.
Simple protection for a serious situation.

dbasu needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 101 designs submitted by 35 freelance designers.
Powered by Search
Powered by Search is a cutting edge internet marketing agency offering full service consultancy and managed services for search engine optimization, paid search marketing, social media marketing, and online reputation management. Find out more at http://www.poweredbysearch.com
We serve clients ranging from the Fortune 1000 to small businesses in verticals including the legal, real estate, medical, home improvement, hotels, and auto dealer industries.
Company Culture - We're a team of young bright go-getters who work hard and play hard. We're still very much in a start up mode and we treat work like play. Internet marketing is our passion and we go the extra mile for our clients.
We have two main target audiences a) Companies who send their marketing staff to internet marketing conferences b) Internet marketing companies (agencies, tools vendors, etc) who participate or attend conferences such as http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/.
Our audience is intelligent, well-versed in pop culture, internet memes, and is constantly on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and other forms of social media. The target audience is largely male, although we're looking for a design that appeals to everyone.
The design must include the following:
a) For the front side of the t-shirt, we wish to have this image recreated http://bit.ly/idzyCz
b) The name our company prominently branded on the back, front, or on the arm of the shirt. We have a full logo with typography, and one standalone "P" logo. One idea we like is having the "P" enlarged in a way that the base of the "P" stars from the bottom of the t-shirt at the hip and the top curve come up to the mid-section of the shirt. This should be visible from the front of the shirt, terminating just before the side of the shirt.

London Irish 28-31 Harlequins, Aviva Premiership
October 28, 2012
Tom Casson's last gasp try gave Harlequins the victory%]
A controversial last-minute try from centre Tom Casson gave Harlequins a narrow 31-28 victory over London Irish in their Aviva Premiership clash at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday.
Casson thought he had blown the opportunity in the last play of the game but the television match official ruled that what appeared to be a knock-on had in fact come off Casson's knee, making his subsequent grounding a legal one. The defeat was harsh on the Exiles who matched Quins throughout and looked destined to claim a vital win behind Ian Humphreys' outstanding kicking display.
Tries from Danny Care and Tom Williams put Quins clear at 26-19 with just over 20 minutes remaining but back came the Exiles behind Humphreys' boot before Casson's late effort.
Coming into the game Harlequins had lost their last two Premiership encounters while Irish were on a run of three wins on the spin in all competitions, including a 39-17 mauling of high flyers Northampton. But it was Conor O'Shea's troops who started the brighter and two Ben Botica penalties inside the first 10 minutes had them 6-0 to the good.
Despite Botica putting Quins on the front foot, as he continued to deputise superbly for the injured Nick Evans, it was Irish who scored the game's first try after 14 minutes. Jamie Gibson expertly charged down Botica's attempted clearance and the ball ballooned up in the air to Guy Armitage over the try line and he simply had to fall over to score the game's first try and his first career Premiership try.
Humphreys slotted the conversion and Irish were in front at 7-6. That lead lasted all of two minutes however until the in-form Danny Care raced clear from halfway after Anthony Watson's hurried offload ricocheted into his hands, and after Botica converted it was 13-7 to the visitors.
The points kept coming in an exciting first half as Humphreys replied with two penalties of his own to level the contest up at 13-13. Both fly-halves did not really look like missing and another penalty from each kicker meant the sides went in at the break all tied up at 16-16.
It was Irish who took the momentum into the interval though, after Harlequins full-back Brown was sent to the sin bin on the cusp of half-time for a deliberate knock-on.
After the break the visitors were a man down and without their skipper Chris Robshaw, who suffered a nasty cut above the eye, but they went back in front when Botica slotted a regulation penalty when the Exiles infringed at scrum time.
No sooner had Brown returned from his spell on the sidelines than Irish began to turn up the heat, turning over Ugo Monye from the kick-off and earning a penalty that Humphreys slotted to level it up again at 19-19.
Quins' effervescent backline had been kept largely quiet but after 52 minutes they sprung into action as Care, Botica and Matt Hopper combined to devastating effect to put Williams over in the right corner for the try of the match, Botica's conversion creeping over from the touchline.
The Exiles continued to respond in quick fashion and two Humphreys penalties made it 26-25 going into the last quarter of an hour. And after Nick Easter was penalised in the 73rd minute Humphreys made no mistake to put the Exiles back in front against the defending champions.
Monye went perilously close in the right corner late on as Quins pushed for the final score, but it was left to Casson. He may have appeared to knock on when he fell clumsily on a loose ball over the try-line but the TMO thought otherwise and Quins were saved.

The following Customer Service Plan provides a summary of the actions taken by ANA to assist its customers. This Customer Service Plan is applicable to services provided in the United States and in connection with scheduled flights to/from the United States by All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. (ANA) and by its subsidiary Air Japan Co., Ltd. (AJX) and has been adopted pursuant to U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.
Offering the lowest fare available
For reservations made via ANA's Internet website (the ANA website), phone reservation center ("ANA Customer Service Center") or airport ticketing counters in the U.S., we will offer the lowest fares available through that booking channel, when you provide specific travel dates, flights, and class of service information. For reservations made via the ANA Customer Service Center or aiport ticketing counters in the U.S., we will also advise you if lower fares may be available through the ANA website.
Notifying passengers of known delays, cancellations, and diversions
For flights that depart in 7 days or less, we will provide timely information about known delays of 30 minutes or more, cancellations and diversions ("flight status information"), within 30 minutes of our becoming aware of it, by:
- Providing flight status information through the ANA website and upon request via ANA Customer Service Center in the U.S.
- Providing flight status information through announcements at gates and through flight status displays at airports in the U.S.
- Providing this flight status information through notification services (including e-mail), to the extent such services are offered by ANA, to passengers who register on the ANA website to receive e-mail updates.
Delivering baggage on time
We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that all checked baggage is available as soon as possible after a passenger's flight arrives at the gate. In the unlikely event your baggage does not arrive at your destination with you, we will initiate a search and make reasonable efforts to return the baggage to you within 24 hours. In the further unlikely event that your baggage cannot be located, we will refund any fees that you have paid for its transportation (including fees for excess or overweight baggage). In addition, we will pay compensation for lost or delayed baggage as required by applicable international agreements.
The following item will be valid for tickets issued on/after January 24, 2012.
Allowing reservations to be cancelled without penalty
A ticketed reservation made via the ANA website, ANA Customer Service Center or ticketing counters at US airports served by ANA may be cancelled without penalty within 24 hours after the issuance of the ticket, except for reservations made within one week of departure, which may be cancelled without penalty only if permitted by applicable fare rules. Refunds must be requested through the ANA Customer Service Center in the U.S. As for award tickets, expired miles can not be refunded.
Please note that tickets purchased via a travel agent may be cancelled without penalty only if permitted by applicable fare rules. For refunds of such tickets, please contact your travel agent.
Providing prompt ticket refunds
If a passenger has purchased a ticket that is eligible for a refund via the ANA website, ANA Customer Service Center or airport ticketing counters in the U.S. and the passenger makes a timely request for a refund, we will provide prompt refunds as follows:
Purchase by credit card
We will submit the request for a refund to the credit card issuer within 7 business days of receiving your completed request for a refund.
- The credit card issuer will refund the purchase price under the terms of the credit card agreement; your credit card statement may not immediately reflect the refund.
Purchase by cash or check
We will issue your refund within 20 business days of receipt of your completed request for a refund.
Refunds must be requested through the ANA Customer Service Center. A complete request for a refund may require information including your name, address, credit card number, ticket number, dates of travel, and origin and destination of travel.
Please contact your travel agent for refund requests for tickets purchased via a travel agent.
Properly accommodating passengers with disabilities, and other passengers in need of assistance
We are committed to offering convenient and comfortable service to all of our passengers, including passengers who require special assistance. For passengers with disabilities, we will comply with DOT regulations. We also offer certain services for children traveling alone, passengers who are pregnant or traveling with small children, and other passengers who may require special assistance.
While passengers may ask for assistance at the airport, there are, however, certain service requests which require advance notice. Please note that even in cases where advance notice is not explicitly required, we recommend that passengers inform us in advance of any special assistance requests, so we can best be prepared to serve you. This notification will help us plan ahead for your safe and comfortable travel.
Please check Offering our customers assistance for a comfortable flight (International Flights) for details.
We will make reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of passengers who require special assistance and also to ensure that the requirements of any passengers who require special assistance are met during a lengthy tarmac delay.
Compliance with the Contingency Plan for Lengthy Tarmac Delays
In the event of a lengthy tarmac delay involving a flight departing from or arriving at any U.S. airport, we will make every reasonable effort to meet passengers' essential needs as described in greater detail in our Contingency Plan for Lengthy Tarmac Delays.
Treating passengers fairly and consistently in the case of oversales
Occasionally we may not be able to provide a passenger with a seat on a flight, even if he/she holds a ticket and have checked in on time. This is called an "oversale," and can occur for reasons such as safety restrictions on the maximum weight that an aircraft can carry; an unplanned change in the size of the aircraft operating the flight; or if there otherwise are more passengers who have checked in and are prepared to board than available seats.
Passengers denied boarding or involuntarily downgraded due to an oversale on a flight departing the U.S. are in most cases entitled to transportation on an alternate flight to the final destination and/or compensation, as required by DOT regulations. We will consistently follow DOT requirements and our own policies in the event of an oversale, including by asking for volunteers before denying boarding or involuntarily downgrading any passenger, and by providing a written statement to each passenger denied boarding which describes his or her rights.
Please be advised to arrive at the airport one hour prior to scheduled departure for international flights.
Disclosing cancellation policies, frequent flyer rules and aircraft configuration information
The following information will be available via the ANA website:
- Cancellation policies. Specific cancellation policies applicable to each type of ticket fare are displayed when purchasing via the ANA website, and agreed to by the customer at time of purchase.
- The rules and policies for our frequent flyer program, ANA Mileage Club.
- Aircraft configuration charts (including the number of seats and the location of lavatories) for flights operated by ANA and AJX.
- Aircraft configuration charts for flights operated by other carriers on a code-share basis can be obtained from their websites.
Upon request, the Customer Service Center can also provide this information, or identify its location on the ANA website.
Providing information about itinerary changes
For flights that depart in more than 7 days, we will notify customers in a timely manner of changes in their travel itineraries (including changes in the scheduled departure time, as well as delays or cancellations) through notification services (including e-mail) to the extent such services are offered by ANA, to passengers who register on the ANA website to receive e-mail updates and upon request through the ANA website and the Customer Service Center in the U.S.
Ensuring responsiveness to customer problems
We welcome the opportunity to address the concerns and opinions of our valued customers, while continually striving to improve our service.
Although we will make every effort to respond much sooner, at the very latest we will acknowledge, in writing, all written complaints within 30 days, and provide a substantive response within 60 days, in accordance with DOT regulations. We will also promptly respond to other comments and feedback. Information about how to contact us is available Contact Information (Customers Residing in the U.S.).
Providing services to minimize inconvenience resulting from delays and cancellations
In the event of flight delays, cancellations or misconnections, we will make reasonable efforts to assist passengers in rebooking travel to their destination. As described above in sections 2, and 10, we will promptly notify to passengers of known flight irregularities and itinerary changes. Additionally:
- If rebooking options are not available and you can not arrive at your final destination on the originally scheduled arrival date due to an irregularity under our control, we may, at our direction, offer complimentary overnight hotel accommodations.
- If the cause of the problem is severe weather conditions and/or other issues outside of our control, in most cases complementary accommodations will not be arranged, but we will make reasonable efforts to provide information enabling you to secure your own accommodations.

I found a short sentence on tatoeba.org and I'm not exactly sure what it means.

I found a short sentence on tatoeba.org and I'm not exactly sure what it means.
My best guess is that it means, "Seems like you found it." Is that right?
This sentence has no subject. In Chinese, it's sometimes acceptable to leave out the subject if it's obvious from the context (some sentences are better analysed without using the concept of subject altogether, but that's a bit out of topic). So, in this case, it's difficult to translate directly to English since the English version would need a subject. In this case, I would say it's very likely that the subject is "我" simply because "我好像找到了" makes more sense than other alternatives.
The subject of the sentence can be a lot of things. For example:
-Your friend's book has been lost. You and another person know about that. Then after the book has been found by your friend, you say to another person that sentence. Then it means: It seems the book has been found (You don't know yet if the book is found, you are guessing).
-It can be yourself. You have lost something and you think you have found it. It means, you forgot something where it placed and in a sudden you remember where you placed the thing.
It can means a lot of things. Based on the previous statement following that sentence. It's just like Korean language that if the subject has been clearly stated before, then you will have no need to restated it.
Hope helps. :)
It actually means
It seems that I have found it.
The subject is "me". If it's "找到了?"("found it?"), it's "you".
