Robinson, appropriately named as we will soon discover, is on vacation in Biarritz with his wife. What follows is the story behind the loss of his arm, a story that becomes increasingly bizarre and eventually apocalyptic, leading us down a narrative path of labyrinthine complexity. The resulting film is an extraordinary feat of imagination and daring, set against the backdrop of a world on the verge of destruction.

Soul Making & The Afterlife
John Hick's Soul Making Theodicy
One of the most important recent contributions to the problem of evil is John Hick's "soul-making" theodicy Hick claims that God has given humans freedom, they have misused that freedom and thus brought evil on themselves and on creation, and God will justly punish some but save others through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ
Hick asks us to conceive of the world as a "vale of Soul-making"
Its purpose is the creation of finite persons who can, and will, freely choose to share in the life of their personal Creator
God did not create us with ready-made moral character, because for character to be valuable must be developed through experience So God has created us as morally and spiritually immature creatures, evolved from the lower animals And with the human race beginning in this way, it is no wonder that we should go wrong, for we existed from the first in a "fallen" state and a suffering-filled world And such a world as we find ourselves in is, Hick insists, absolutely necessary for the perfection of our souls A pain-free paradise with no difficulties, perils, and hardships would never allow us to learn and to develop, for moral and spiritual growth comes through the facing and overcoming of challenges
Evaluation What do you think of Hick's theory?
The Afterlife Another answer to the problem of evil is the idea of the afterlife This theory states that although we may be suffering in this life, if we are good we will be rewarded in the next Evil and pain exist in this world only This world is only a prelude to the afterlife. Also known as life after death, the afterlife is a generic term referring to a continuation of existence, typically spiritual and experiential, beyond this world, or after death, where no pain will exist.
People eventually die anyway, so this allows for final justice for everyone in the end, with the righteous (or "saved") enjoying everlasting life Imagine a person is saddened after losing ten thousand pounds one morning. In the afternoon however, he unexpectedly earns a million pounds. Losing ten thousand dollars is bad, but on the whole, was this a bad day? Probably not. Potentially, one could see one's existence in the same way with an afterlife, where the just are rewarded with everlasting life and the guilty are punished. Although the afterlife theory does not remove the problem of evil it lessens it
Although it does not make evil any less evil
Although it does not make evil any less evil. In an absolute sense, evil remains equally wrong with or without an afterlife Nonetheless, such an afterlife would make the world less evil. For example, since the afterlife scenario guarantees final justice for all individuals, it would instil justice where there would otherwise be injustice. And while existing with a finite period of pain (as an innocent sufferer in life) is bad, having existence is far more worthwhile, perhaps infinitely so, if there is infinitely more good than harm (as via everlasting life) So on the whole the world could have infinitely more good than evil, while still allowing humanity as whole to choose its own destiny. So the atheist may be right about evil being a problem for theism; however, the atheist may be also wrong about how big the problem is. God allowing evil becomes more plausible if God sets up the world to have infinitely more good than evil.

Assertive Technology For The Physically Impaired Computer Science Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
The 21st century is the century of the computers. People from all walks of lives need to learn how to use computers as most of the things around us required at least some basic knowledge of the computer. Somehow, for perfectly normal people like us, it is a piece of cake to adapt to the evolving technology.
As we look around the street, have we ever thought of those unfortunate people with disabilities? What about their difficulties in utilizing the computer? Of course, we might say that the number of the disabled people is minority compared to us. Some people even look down on these ill-fated people because they think that these people will not offer useful contribution to the society.
Therefore, it is unbelievably thoughtful for some companies that bring to mind the existence of unlucky disabled people. There are a few categories of disabilities - mobility impairment, visual impairment, learning disability, hearing impairment and etc. All these disability is not severe enough to affect the usage of a computer. Those companies created special devices to assist the disabled people known as assertive technology. Thus, it had made their lives easier in coping with the advancing technology.
For the purpose of this assignment, our group focuses on assertive technology for the physically impaired.
Examples of Assertive Technology:
Head-Controlled Computer Access
" What is a HeadMouse? "
A HeadMouse is a wireless optical sensor which tracks a tiny reflective target(dot) which is usually placed on user's forehead. The HeadMouse translates natural movements of a user's head into directly proportional movements of the computer mouse pointer. It works just like a normal computer mouse. The reflective dot can also be placed on any parts of the body-arm, fist, foot-whereever it has the best movement. The mouse cursor is controlled by the user by moving his head. HeadMouse replace a conventional mouse for the handicapped. HeadMouse gives a wide field-of-view and greater accuracy. It supports graphic-intensive applications and Computer Aided Design(CAD). The HeadMouse is a very small, lightweight, fast and low powered optical head pointing device which fully emulates all mouse movements. It is powered by the host device (either computer or AAC device), draws extremely little power and connects to a USB.
<<<=Tiny, flexible and paper tracking dot placed on forehead.
Objective :
To provide a mechanism of interaction and low-cost alternative for people with reduced mobility or pointing problems that cannot use an ordinary mouse especially the handicapped.
" How does a HeadMouse works? "
The HeadMouse must be first connected to the computer or augumentative communication device through a USB port and operated using standard mouse drivers. The HeadMouse is powered over the USB connection.
When the user moves his head(or any part of his body tat the reflective dot has been placed), the movement of the HeadMouse is recognised by an infared receiver which in turn translates the head movements into cursor movements on the screen. In addition to cursor movement another element is required for full mouse functionality that is button clicking. Mouse button selections are made either by using a dwell and click software application whereby the user pauses over the on-screen target for a user definable period of time, at the end of which, a pre-defined button click (left, right, double left, click and drag, scroll) is generated. Alternatively, clicks can also be generated using a physical external switch (link to switches) that can be activated by fists, fingers, arms or foot.
Advantages to the handicapped :
The HeadMouse is the latest technology which is designed especially for the handicapped. They don't need to use their hands to control the computer mouse as the HeadMouse can be controlled by placing a tiny reflective target or a reflective dot on the forehead of the user and using the user's body movements to control the HeadMouse. This would be much more convenient or those who are handicapped.
" What is a keyguard? "
A keyboard keyguard or keyguard is a plate with computer key-sized holes that is used to place above the keys on a standard keyboard. The keyguard is resistant to pressure due to its stiffness. It is usually made from metal or unbreakable, clear, thick Lexan (a plastic material).
The history of the keyguard was originally developed by a form sixth student who is inspired by a man whose hands trembled too much for him to that unable him to type.
" How is it used? "
Keyguard was developed for those whose hands trembled too much, or with tremors and athetoid conditions, that give them difficulty in typing on the keyboard, where they tend to hit a series of unwanted keys as they are typing. When the keyguard is placed on the keyboard, users with difficulties particularly in the hand area will not face trouble when typing words with a keyboard. This is because the holes in the keyguard are made to protect, or in other words covers the keys that are not used in case if a physically impaired (in their hand) user need to rest, the user can rest their hands on top of the guard while typing and therefore reduce strain on the upper limb due to tremor or muscle weakness in their hands.
Types of Guard
There is no standard-sized computer keyboard. There are small differences between hundreds of keyboards for instance, spaces between keys, shapes and types of keys, and even its size. This means that it might be difficult to get a keyguard to fit any given keyboard. Fortunately keyboards are very cheap in compare to the keyguard, so it's usually best to buy the two devices together to make sure that they fit.
Keyguards can also be use with other specialist keyboards such as the IntelliKeys (programmable alternative keyboard that plugs into any computer) and BigKeys (standard push-button keyboard but with bigger keys), and even detached numeric keypads.
Big keys
Intellikeys Keyboard
Advantages and Disadvantages
There are some advantages when using a keyguard for instance, Even though the keyguard was originally developed for people with tremors and athetoid conditions; it has also proven to be a successful tool for people with muscular weakness difficulties. In this case, the user can rest their hands on top of the guard while typing and therefore reduce strain on the upper limb. This also means that keyguard can be used for everyday users and does not apply only to physically-disabled users.
Some of the disadvantages when using a keyguard are; the users are unable to type fast. This is because the holes are on top of the keys of the keyboard, which involves lifting up their hands every time to touch the keys that are located under the holes. Therefore, it is required to type one button at a time. Nevertheless, there is a solution to this matter. The user could install Word Prediction software such as Co: Writer or Penfriend, that able to complete the words that are intended to be type, by just typing a few words as a start. Other than that, keyguards are not applicable to laptop computers. One reason for this is that laptops and their keyboards defers in layout, size, and shape. Other than that, laptops might not be such as a good idea because the screen on a laptop is attached to the keyboard, these results in a poor ergonomic set-up that could contribute to neck pain. As a solution to this matter, users can purchase a portable keyboard for the laptop such as the Compact Keyboard, and adding a guard to it.
Voice Recognition
Recognition systems that must be trained to a particular speaker, as is the case for most desktop recognition software.
Recognizing the speaker can simplify the task of translating speech. Speech recognition is a broader solution which refers to technology that can recognize speech without being targeted at single speaker, such as a call center system that can recognize arbitrary voices. The aim of the technology is for a two-way purposes, firstly is easy to control of various home appliances by voice, and the other is to enable severely disabled person's movement independently using voice activated powered wheelchair. The voice activated home appliances control system works out through a few follow-up process, in which firstly, the speech input device is can be use not only headset but also mobile telephone via Skype Voice of IP (VOIP) module.
At first, the microphone captures the speech signal. The incoming audio stream is then segmented for recognition using the VAD module. The stream is transmitted from speech interface to the recognition engine where the recognition procedure is carried out. Our recognition engine employed a Julian decoder (Lee at al., 2001) with mel frequency cepstral coefficient and adapted a speaker-dependent acoustic model. Finally the recognition result is executed when results are satisfied with voice using V/NVclassification module. By using the result of speech recognition for infrared remote control, system can be remote control powered wheelchair and home appliances including TV, radio, VCD/DVD player, lights, and fan. System is also offers hand-free management of telephone calls and direct calling to family through one voice command. Software is designed and developed under the visual studio platform and using visual C++ programming, which can be installed and run in Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) under operating system of embedded windows.
A voice controlled Graphic User Interface (GUI) is carefully designed for disabled person in the Fig 1. By clicking on one of the icon on the user's screen or voice command directly correspond to the environmental commands like switching on the lamps, starting the Radio, calling the facilitator. Also, wireless microphone or mobile phone can be used instead of wire headsets for user's convenience.
Fig. 1. Example of system GUI design. (a) Powered wheelchair mode. (b) Home Appliances Control Mode. (c) Sub Control Mode ( TV, Audio, Phone)
The developed system consists of a headset, a Pentium M 1.2GHz UMPC, infrared
<< Fig. 2. Prototype powered wheelchair.
The voice commands to control wheelchair direction are not easy when use the minimum number of commands.
transmitter for long distance transmission and a wheelchair controller, as is depicted in Fig. 2 below. Also, wireless microphone or mobile phone can be used instead of wire headsets for user convenience
Computer technology has gradually increased over the years. Special devices for disabled people have made their lives more convenient in accessing and utilizing the computer. It is captivating to see those disabled people and their strong will in fighting to be known as "normal" to us. Everyone wants to be extraordinary, differ from others and exclusive in their own way but these people are in fact poles apart from us. They want to be treated equivalent and crave to lead an ordinary life.
Hopefully assertive technology continues to develop consistently in the near future so that the improvement of technology in computer will cease more of the inconveniences for these people.

In honor of my sweet niece, Picket, who may encounter this situation standing in line at the Pig once she's become famous (isn't she already?) enough to be recognized there. Not a humorous poem, but one that will make you stop and think, especially about names and what they mean. (And aren't we still discussing a name for my OTHER niece, Amanda?)
The poem is all about appearance/reality as well. End of poetry lesson.
Men Who Buy Lunch At The Pig
His eyes are like a flame of fire. . .
and he has a name inscribed that no one knows but himself. . .
-Revelation 19:12
Jeans raveling over their boots,
shirts hanging out of their jeans,
they wear their names stitched on
for forgetful men who pay their wages,
but one in line is startled when he is called
by name, as if he might have worn
the wrong shirt; then he resumes staring
down past the pocket that names him.
Chicken with potatoes and gravy and peas
scooped into sectioned Styrofoam plates
give-away day-old chocolate chip cookies
quarts of drinks for a gallon-sized thirst
and the essential cordial, two packs of Camels,
look lady, hurry it up will ya
the others are waiting in the truck
the boss is waiting, and I'm sick
of standing here waiting for you;
you should be the one shoveling dirt,
lady, if you can't figure one simple price
the only way I'm going to have a good day
is to get out of here in time for a smoke
"Thank you, M'am," he says,
naming her with generic respect,
reaching for his prodigal lunch.
By the way, why didn't someone worn me that blogging is as addictive as nicotine? I'll work on the old notebook another day. Now I must crack the whip and get myself back to the writing grindstone! Thwack! thwick!

When You Wish: New LEO 911-Wristwatch May Help Save Lives
Jan 07, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- A new high-tech device, called the LEO, will help parents and emergency services respond to children in times of crisis, When You Wish announced.
Jason Sullivan, inventor and father of two, has patented and developed a 911-GPS emergency locator wristwatch enabled with voice communications and a panic button system that promises to change the way we think about protecting our children.
"I originally invented the LEO out of a passion to create a device that could protect our children from the impacts of abduction and predation. The outcome has evolved into a wristwatch that can literally be used by all ages for virtually any emergency situation," said Sullivan.
According to a release, the LEO watch is designed with a titanium band and optional locking mechanism, making it virtually impossible to cut through and has sensors that will notify emergency responders if an unauthorized attempt is made to remove the device. Parents have a web-based interface that they are able to use on any computer or smart phone to locate their child in seconds, a critical feature given that time is of the essence in any life-threatening situation.
Named by Inc. Magazine as "Most Likely to Succeed" and hailed by Marc Klaas, the President of KlaasKids Foundation and BeyondMissing, Inc. as "The closest thing to the Holy Grail of child protection devices as anything will ever get," the LEO has been attracting a significant amount of attention, including being featured on The Ricky Lake Show and already is widely anticipated at the upcoming CES Show in Las Vegas. The overwhelming response and support of the LEO has made Sullivan decide to go directly to the public to raise money to launch his life-saving device.
"Everything has indicated that this potentially life-saving device is being wildly accepted by the public, so we decided to reach out to the people directly to help bring the LEO to market." said Sullivan. The LEO can be found at whenyouwish.com/leo In light of the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, Sullivan said his company will donate a portion of the proceeds from the campaign to the families of the victims.
Jason Sullivan is the founder of GuardianLion Wireless and the inventor and co-developer of the LEO Wristwatch.

Insurance Search
This is a custom search engine that focuses all results on insurance themes. Everything else is given lower priority. Try it with a few different search terms to see; good luck!
You can search for insurance agents in your local area, for insurance websites, comparison information, reviews, and so on. There are so many types of insurance its worth searching out all your options. If you are single and healthy, you will not go to the doctor as often so perhaps low copays are not as important to you. If you have a family, with children, you might be visiting the doctor a lot more often so you want a different kind of plan. Some plans are ideal for just major surgery, so they might have a big deductible but they pay 100% of the surgery costs after that. If you have some elective medical work coming up, try to get that done early in the year, to cover your deductible - then the rest of the year will be easier on your wallet.

Islam Slimani (born June 18, 1988) is an Algerian football player. He is currently playing for CR Belouizdad in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1.
On May 17, 2009, Slimani signed a two year contract with CR Belouizdad, joining them on a transfer from JSM Chéraga. The price of the transfer was 800,000 Algerian dinars.
On May 17, 2011, Slimani scored four goals in a league game against JS Kabylie, leading CR Belouizdad to an impressive 7-1 win.
In October 29, 2009, Slimani was called up for the first time to the Algerian A' National Team for a week long training camp in Algiers.

When referring to its land area, Algeria is the largest country in Africa, Maghreb and the Arab World. It is also the largest of the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea; it is also the tenth-largest country in the world. The country is bordered in the northeast by Tunisia, in the east by Libya, in the west by Morocco, in the southwest by Western Sahara, Mauritania, and Mali, in the southeast by Niger, and in the north by the Mediterranean Sea. Its size is almost 2,400,000 square kilometres (926,645 sq mi) with an estimated population of 37.1 million as of 2012.

François Gérard Georges Nicolas Hollande (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃swa ɔlɑ̃d]; born 12 August 1954) is the 24th President of the French Republic and ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra. He previously served as the First Secretary of the French Socialist Party from 1997 to 2008 and as a Deputy of the National Assembly of France for Corrèze's 1st Constituency from 1988 to 1993 and then again from 1997 to 2012. He also served as the Mayor of Tulle from 2001 to 2008 and the President of the General Council of Corrèze from 2008 to 2012.
He was elected President of France on 6 May 2012, defeating the incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, and was inaugurated on 15 May. He is the second Socialist President of the Fifth French Republic, after François Mitterrand who served from 1981 to 1995.
Hollande was born in Rouen, Seine-Maritime, Upper Normandy, to a middle-class family. His mother, Nicole Frédérique Marguerite Tribert (1927–2009), was a social worker, and his father, Georges Gustave Hollande, an ear, nose, and throat doctor who "had once run for the extreme right in local politics." The surname "Hollande" is "believed to come from Calvinist ancestors who escaped Holland (the Netherlands) in the 16th century and took the name of their old country." Hollande was raised Catholic but quietly rebelled against the strict religious brothers chosen by his father to educate him. The family moved to Neuilly, a suburb of Paris, when Hollande was 13.

Chickasaw Nation ReUse Center, Wins!
In 2010, the City of Ada was faced with a difficult problem - the closure of the city sanitation department and local landfill. The landfill was near capacity and scheduled to close causing a massive ripple effect where residents and city administrators would have to change disposal practices and logistics they had been accustomed to for several years. Fortunately, the Chickasaw Nation saw an opportunity. Their solution earned them the Tribal Government Award at the 2010 Environmental Excellence Awards.
Located in Ada, the Chickasaw Nation ReUse Center, wholly owned by the Nation, is operated but the tribe's Department of Environmental Services. Thanks to their foresight, Ada residents now have the possibility to keep recyclable items out of the landfill. Operating out of a 6,250 sq. ft. building, the Nation diverts 826 pounds of material from the waste stream each day the facility is in operation.
The ReUse Center isn't only a location to recycle but provides a social resource to the community as well. Individuals and families using the center often are in need of assistance or have been referred by local and tribal social services. The demand for items, especially for children's clothes, furniture an dibasic kitchen and household goods, often exceed the supply of items available. The Chickasaw Nation saw an opportunity to utilize the ReUse Center not only to protect the health of the environment but to serve and assist those in need.

I'm head over heels with this pineapple upside down cake recipe! Not only is it easy to make, it also brings the flavour of the tropics right into your home. I found this recipe and it has the unusual twist of adding lime for that an extra Carribean punch of flavour into the cake. And I love the addition of pecan nuts. It is caramelized and flavored with pineapple, it's my favorite part of the cake!
Originally, pineapple upside down cakes were cooked in a frying pan. The butter and brown sugar were melted together, pineapple rings artfully arranged all around, occasionally maraschino cherries dotted the rings to make it more fancy, then a white cake is poured over and baked. Once baked, the pan is flipped over and voila, a showcase of caramelized pineapple and gooey sauce on top or the cake.
Since I didn't own a frying pan that would not melt in the oven, I used a regular 9" round cake pan. I made the butter and brown sugar separately and poured into the pan. I used fresh cherries that I had in hand. I also like to brush a bit of rum on the top just to umph that tropical flavour. This cake is best eaten warm with whipped cream.
*Does not print in Chrome browser; pls. print in Mozilla or Internet Explorer.*
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
14 oz (400 mL) can pineapple slices
1/2 cup pecan halves
cherries, fresh or glazed (optional)
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
Finely grated zest of 1 lime
1 tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Preaheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9" round cake pan.
Melt butter in a sauce pan. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved and bubbly. Carefully pour in the cake pan. Arrange slices of pineapple, cherries and pecans on the top.
In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
Add in milk and oil, whisk for about a minute.
Add in the rest of the ingeredients until whisk again until blended.
Pour batter in prepared cake pan and bake for approx. 30 minutes. The cake is ready when an inserted wooden skewer or cake tester comes out clean or when cake springs back when lightly pressed with a finger.
Invert into a serving platter. Serve with whipped cream and enjoy!
I happened to accidentally stumbled upon these pineapple upside down cake pans and I think they are adorable. I didn't even know they actually existed!
And check out these mini ones too! Now, how super cute is that?!

Discussion in 'General WWE' started by SFAeroTaker, Dec 19, 2013.
I'd just BS with the Dead Man. All day. It sounds like it'd be an interesting conversation.
Male or female? Because the answer changes! Lol.
Male: Probably Xavier Woods so we could talk about all the cool shit he's into, lol.
Female: Lita and thats all I'll say HA. I'm such a perv.
Oh god, where to begin? I'm going to assume DZ and D'Z get 24 hours together since that is technically the definition of a day and I'm sure DZ will be as amped to hang with me as I am him.
So I'm thinking we could kick it midnight to midnight. I would invite him over and we can start with some pregaming. I'll have some bottles of dos equis chilled (seems like the beer he would be in to) and we could get to know each other a little before heading out to the club. I tell some jokes and he is clearly interested as we stare deep into each others eyes before we both awkwardly look away, shy and ready to leave for the evening. We hit up some strip clubs until about 6 am when I decide its time for some breakfast. We go to Dennys and talk about how this could be the start of the greatest friendship of all time if not for the 1 day restraints. He tells me he wants to be BFFs but I put one finger on his lips to shh him. "Listen, DZ, we only have 24 hours together and that's that!"
We leave Dennys and DZ makes a 'just the tip' reference and we both laugh about how awesome Archer is. I tell him he should structure his character around Archer and he agrees (he eventually wins the WWE Championship with this gimmick months later and gives me a shout out on national tv during his celebration speech). Its 8 AM and I think to myself how great it is that only 1/3 of my time with DZ has passed. I ask Ziggler what he wants to do and he informs me this is my dream date and he is new to CA, so I make the executive decision to head out to Monterey Bay for a day of fun. The drive, which may have seemed like a waste of our 24 hours, actually turns into the most rewarding part of the day as DZ tells me all sorts of stories and backstage gossip. He tells me about how he punks out CM Punk all the time and makes him carry his bags. I laugh, but DZ gives me a look and says "no seriously"
Finally we get to Monterey and have a great day at the aquarium (DZ will flinch as a shark comes near the glass before realizing it can't get him. we will share a laugh) eating lunch and finally sharing a walk along the beach. Ziggler realizes it is only 10 PM and wants to know what we can do for the last two hours. I decide the best course of action will be to film a beach workout montage ala Rocky. He agrees and rips his shirt off. I feint, hit my head and spend the last 2 hours of my day with DZ in the hospital. I awake from the coma weeks later and DZ is nowhere to be found. Some friends and family explain to me that he stuck by my bed until he was forced to leave at midnight, but the rules said he had to go at that point. I ask if we have the video from our training montage but they say we never even got to film it because of my accident. I turn on the TV to see Ziggler winning the WWE Championship with my Archer gimmick. Things begin to turn black as the injuries I sustained from the fall begin to take me. As I fade to black I hear Ziggler giving me my shout out for inspiring him and I die the happiest little boy in all of the land.
^WOW, fanboy much?
Just responding to the thread...
Just trolling cuz it was soooooo long, lol. Trying to be like the D'Z
Long? I had to rewrite it 3 times to get it to a manageable length I thought people would read.
Anyone that wants the unedited script of our would-be-date can PM me, its over 20,000 words.
The greatest story ever told.
Sex. Am I right @Crayo?
Ummmm, Trish, Steph, Stacy, Torrie, Dawn Marie (skinny)......we would just talk, probably play Scrabble.
Since Daniel Bryan is my favorite, I guess we have some crazy adventure somewhere.
Do retired wrestlers count? Because chatting it up with Hulk Hogan (the greatest of all time) and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (the second greatest of all time) would be my ideal play date with a wrestler. Austin would be a hell of a person to strike up a conversation with judging from his podcasts, and hearing Hogan tell lies for hours and hours on end would certainly not fail to entertain.
I would agree with chatting with Stone Cold. Dude has a GOAT music taste, some headbanging and beer drinking. What else does life need?...oh yeah, smokes.
If dead people count, i would have Macho Man narrate my life for a day, and help me get ladies.
I would engage in an uppercut war with Cesaro, and we could also swing eachother for an unlimited amount of time. During our breaks, we would drink coffee and exchange stories, mostly about him telling me about his indy travels, and some WWE backstage stuff.
After, we would just spend the day at the gym, trying to surpass eachother in strength.
God, all that sounded gay af., but I love Cesaro.
Get tanned with Swagger.
Would take Steph out on a fancy date and gush for hours.
This is beautiful.
By Gawd! You actually wrote a story!
Yes, favorite wrestler of all time. Any wrestler can qualify, male or female.

Time to share something through this blog, even though I have no idea to give an appropriate title for this writing. Just let it flow from my mind, freely.
Sometimes, we need to be alone; I mean, to think about everything that we've passed in our past, both bad and good, more peaceably. Furthermore, contemplating about our friends' experience can lead us to be a sincere and grateful person. Well, even though lots of due dates are waiting in the early next week (deep sigh!), I need a day just to refresh my body and soul. In other words, let me be my self in my own thought (it's different from selfish definition). Moreover, the light rain which falls all day long today supports my concentration to do this :).
First of all, I would like to share my friends' experience. I have 3 woman friends who have lost their babies in their past. Of course, I know their feeling (perhaps) well, more than since I am a woman. My first friend has already lost her baby twice in her uterus, and now she's pregnant for her third baby. My second friend, she lost her baby a year ago when its age around 2-3 months, and now she's still struggling to recover her psychology to have a baby again. Lastly, my third friend, lost her first baby in her uterus, and now she's pregnant for her second baby. The best cause here is the stress mommies. For pregnant women, stress is a very very big enemy, and it needs an extremely high support from their family particularly from their husband. Most women are very weak during pregnancy since they have double responsibility for themselves and their babies. However, I have learnt a lot from my friends how to move on, how to response obstacles or even ordeal in a wise point of view, how to always think positive for every single unpleasant event in this life, etc. Thank God, I met them and had a good time to share problems each other. They have inspired me to keep 'walking' indirectly.
Next topic is, well, a bit difficult to say here. Occasionally, we need a very very strong will to built our confidence to get what we believe easily, even though several people around us think not really good toward our decision. As long as we do it by the name of Allah, everything will be good as well as our belief in earlier period. Peaceful soul is highly substantial to move on as well as strong commitment in doing everything. Thus, good results will come along with good faith, personality, and strong commitment.
Commitment is not only related to working environment, but also family, friendship, and our belief.
I hope we are always consistent with our strong will and belief today. In addition, let the past, both from our experience and others, teaches us how to be a better person since life is never simple :).
God bless us.

President-elect Donald Trump went on Twitter to issue a taxation threat to the car manufacturer General Motors. In his tweet, Trump outright stated that GM is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to U.S. car dealers "tax-free." He then threatened a "border tax."
General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to U.S. car dealers-tax free across border. Make in U.S.A.or pay big border tax!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 3, 2017
In the end, who will this hurt, really?
If a "big border tax" is assessed to punish GM for building "tax-free across the border," do not be naive in thinking the company itself will absorb that monetary blow. Inevitably, the extra cost of a "border tax" will be passed on to the consumer thereby increasing the price they will pay.
But was Trump's ominous threat warranted or was he basing his threat without presenting all the facts, or perhaps before knowing all the facts.
GM issued a statement to correct Trump's accusation as erroneous.
All Cruze sedans sold in the U.S. are made at a factory in the state [Ohio], GM notes, and while some Chevrolet Cruze hatchbacks designed for the global market are sold stateside, and are in fact made in Mexico, the vast majority of those vehicles are destined for export to other international markets.
Should Trump issue a retraction or apologetic tweet given the fact that his claim against GM does not appear to be accurate?
So far, there is no response to GM's correction of Trump's accusation and Trump's tweet is still on Twitter.

Cannon Shelley PF1510 Vacuum Thermo Forming Press
Thermoplastic vacuum forming is a technique for transforming flat plastic into a three dimensional shapes using a mould tools. Sheet plastic is heated to make the plastic malleable, following this the plastic is stretched over the mould tool and a vacuum is created as air is removed from the machine. The atmospheric pressure around the tool forces the plastic to cast itself upon the tool producing the plastic silhouette
This thermo-forming press was fully refurbished approximately 4 years ago for a development project of microwave technology pre heating of the thermoforming sheets to plasticise them prior to entering the press to vastly reduce the cycle times. (See lot PER730 )
Once the development work was proven the press was surplus to requirements and has only worked a few hours since the refurbishment programme.

|Gdata - Indexing feeds and entries
|Sat, 15 Jul 2006 14:37:11 GMT
Hi there, it has been quiet about Gdata the last 2 weeks but all the exams are done and uni has finished yesterday so next round can start up. OK what needs to be done, the gdata protocol describes a kind of a query language to query feed for full text search in defined xml elements and / or custom elements. For that purpose the stored, updated and deleted entries have to be reflected into the search component to be available for searching.The indexer component of the server has to notified about modification events to keep the index uptodate. I'm not yet sure how the fields / elements of the xml will be configured but I guess I will look for some ideas in solr or nutch and discuss that later. My first and main problem is pretty well know on this mailinglist, well I found lots of questions and suggestions via google but these discussions are quite a while ago. I was wondering if there are some new cognitions about distributed searching / indexing. The server should be able to run in clusters/ server farms so indexed data must be available on each server / machine. I thought about this for a while and all my ideas seem to be problematic in a certain way. i found this thread on the mailing list http://email@example.com/msg12700.html which gives a lot of information about the problem I'm facing. It would be great if some of you experienced guys could give me information about your experience / solution to this problem. If you see any possibility to provide such a mechanism as a generic solution we could we could separate this as a new contrib project after SoC has finished e.g. detach it from gdata. thanks in advance for your help ;) Simon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Qutb Complex
- Publication Date
This partially ruined building complex includes Delhi's first congregational mosque (Jami masjid), known today as the '"Might of Islam" (Quwwat al-Islam). The mosque was founded upon the conquest of the northern Indian region by the commander, Qutb al-Din Aybak of the Ghurid ruler Muhammad ibn Sam. On the southeast corner of the original hypostyle mosque stands the minaret, the Qutb Minar, begun by Qutb al-Din Aybak and modelled after so-called victory towers of Ghazna and Jam (Afghanistan).

How do you make a Bond Martini?
"Vodka Martini Shaken, Not Stirred" is a Bond trademark. But how does he really take it and how can you make one? Here is everything that you need to know about Bond's favorite drink, the Vodka Martini. It is thought that Bond's liking for Vodka Martinis was lifted from creator Ian Fleming's own drinking tastes.
Why does Bond like it Shaken and Not Stirred?
When a Martini is stirred with ice, the drink ends up completely clear. Bond prefers the cloudy effect and the extra chill that is given when the mixture is shaken.
The Bond Martini
– 3 measures of Gordon's Gin
– 1 measure of vodka
– 1/2 measure of Kina Lillet vermouth
Shake it very well until over rice until it's ice cold, pour into a martini glass and garnish with a large thin slice of lemon peel.
How to order it like Bond
Straight from Casino Royale (2006): "Dry martini. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it over rice and then add a thin slice of lemon peel." Shaken, not stirred, of course!

Control is one of humankind's greatest illusions. Let's face it—even with all the information available and expansive educational preparation—unexpected events often interfere with our plans and our best efforts to control an outcome or an event (and even ourselves!). And what happens to us, to those around us, and to the teams and organizations we lead when things get disrupted?
Article Archives - Institute for Mindful Leadership
Mindfulness meditation practice uses time and space to cultivate connection. When we take the time to check in with our inner state, we learn something. Churning after the latest news report or tweet, we may be so caught up in reaction that we can't discriminate what has actually happened from what we think and feel about it. Mindfulness, even if it's just attending to a few breaths, can create the space that brings us a more nuanced perspective on events.
Sometimes a great blessing comes so well disguised that we have to work to uncover its value. I learned this after collapsing in an airport.
Feeling overwhelmed at work? Too busy to function? Here are five opportunities to pause, recharge your batteries, and stay on top of your game.
Most of us spend a great deal of time sitting behind our desks, or in conference rooms or colleagues' offices, so having a short practice that helps you relax while at work can be beneficial. What I call the desk chair meditation gives you a way to incorporate a short mindfulness practice into your day.

History of Flight:
- From prehistoric times, humans have watched the flight of birds, and longed to imitate them, but lacked the power to do so
- Logic dictated that if the small muscles of birds can lift them into the air and sustain them, then the larger muscles of humans should be able to duplicate the feat
- No one knew about the intricate mesh of muscles, sinew, heart, breathing system, and devices not unlike wing flaps, variable-camber and spoilers of the modern airplane that enabled a bird to fly
- Still, thousands of years and countless lives were lost in attempts to fly like birds
- The identity of the first "bird-men" who fitted themselves with wings and leapt off of cliffs in an effort to fly are lost in time, but each failure gave those who wished to fly questions that needed to be answered
- Where had the wing flappers gone wrong? Philosophers, scientists, and inventors offered solutions, but no one could add wings to the human body and soar like a bird
- During the 1500s, Leonardo da Vinci filled pages of his notebooks with sketches of proposed flying machines, but most of his ideas were flawed because he clung to the idea of birdlike wings By 1655, mathematician, physicist, and inventor Robert Hooke concluded that the human body does not possess the strength to power artificial wings
- He believed human flight would require some form of artificial propulsion
- The quest for human flight led some practitioners in another direction
- In 1783, the first manned hot air balloon, crafted by Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier, flew for 23 minutes
- Ten days later, Professor Jacques Charles flew the first gas balloon
- A madness for balloon flight captivated the public's imagination and for a time flying enthusiasts turned their expertise to the promise of lighter-than-air flight
- But for all its majesty in the air, the balloon was little more than a billowing heap of cloth capable of no more than a one-way, downwind journey
- Balloons solved the problem of lift, but that was only one of the problems of human flight. The ability to control speed and direction eluded balloonists
- The solution to that problem lay in a child's toy familiar to the East for 2,000 years, but not introduced to the West until the 13th century—the kite
- The kites used by the Chinese for aerial observation, to test winds for sailing, as a signaling device, and as a toy, held many of the answers to lifting a heavier-than-air device into the air
- One of the men who believed the study of kites unlocked the secrets of winged flight was Sir George Cayley
- Born in England 10 years before the Mongolfier balloon flight, Cayley spent his 84 years seeking to develop a heavier-thanair vehicle supported by kite-shaped wings
- The "Father of Aerial Navigation," Cayley discovered the basic principles on which the modern science of aeronautics is founded; built what is recognized as the first successful flying model; and tested the first full-size man-carrying airplane
- For the half-century after Cayley's death, countless scientists, flying enthusiasts, and inventors worked toward building a powered flying machine
- Men, such as William Samuel Henson, who designed a huge monoplane that was propelled by a steam engine housed inside the fuselage, and Otto Lilienthal, who proved human flight in aircraft heavier than air was practical, worked toward the dream of powered flight
- A dream turned into reality by Wilbur and Orville Wright at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903
- The bicycle-building Wright brothers of Dayton, Ohio, had experimented for 4 years with kites, their own homemade wind tunnel, and different engines to power their biplane
- One of their great achievements in flight was proving the value of the scientific, rather than a build-it-and-see approach
- Their biplane, The Flyer, combined inspired design and engineering with superior craftsmanship
- By the afternoon of December 17th, the Wright brothers had flown a total of 98 seconds on four flights
- The age of flight had arrived
Flight Training:
- As you get started, you'll need to understand the aviation framework
- This begins by knowing about the role of the FAA
- Next you want to set a goal
- From there you can begin the a syllabus which will prepare you for your check and eventual rating as a pilot of varying levels
General Training Pipeline:
- Pilot Requirements/Aviation Foundations
- There are several types of ratings available to perspective pilots and it will depend on an individuals situation as to which is better for them
- Introduction to Human Factors/Decision Making/The Flight Environment
- Learning Aircraft Components/Equipment, inside and out
- Aerodynamics
- Safety of Flight
- Airspace
- Terminal (airport) Environment
- Weather
- Regulation
- Performance Charts
- Navigation
- Pilot Requirements/Aviation Foundations
- Introduction to all maneuvers/procedures
- Airwork
- Traffic Pattern
- Solo
- Navigation
- Checkride Preparation
- With a goal in mind, get a feel for aviation by taking a few lessons before considering how you want to manage your cockpit
Analyzing Flight Performance:
- It is difficult to recall every detail of every flight
- This is especially true if you are not under instruction and therefore do not have an instructor or additional pilot paying attention to debrief points
- This can be done however by reviewing flight data recorded by a GoPro or other recording system
- Aviation is a dynamic environment and flight training must therefore match
- This means the training pipeline is going to differ from school to school, and instructor to instructor
- This article is a mere introduction to the flight training process
- Expectations for your situation begin here but must be solidified with your instructor, and/or flight school
- Federal Aviation Administration

Advanced Avionics Module
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Advanced Avionics Module or AAM was a module launched on board PSLV-C8 along with Italian satellite AGILE. It was designed by ISRO to test advanced launch vehicle avionics systems like mission computers, navigation and telemetry systems. At lift-off, it weighed 185 kg.
It was mounted inside Dual Launch Adopter, on top of which the AGILE was put.

How Many Syns At The Pizza And Kebab Shop?
I remember the good old days when I could eat at the kebab shop and never put a pound on in weight. It was the summer of 2000 and it was the year that Dominic and I had moved in together.
I was 18 and he was 23 and we were having a fantastic time.
We would go out for a night of Vodka & Redbulls and do lots of dancing to the likes of Shania Twain and Robbie Williams and spend more time up dancing than sat down.
It then meant that we could go to the kebab shop on the way home and know fully well that we wouldn't gain any weight and that our weight was nothing something of great concern. At the time I weighed just below 8 stone 7 and was considered in the BMI charts as being under weight with a BMI of around 18.
Then I remember the year of 2006 (six years later) and the year I had the biggest weight gain of my life. And no I wasn't pregnant! And even though I had many reasons for weight gain too many takeaways from the pizza and kebab shop were among the big blamers.
And it made me now (a few years since I gave them up) question the amount of calories that are in them!
That huge Doner Kebab that was served with bland cold chips never seemed that bad when you had a few vodkas but now I find them disgusting. However if you gave me a drink or two I am sure I would relent and eat them just like I did as a teenager!
There are 15.5 Syns in a small Doner Kebab and this is based on the Doner meat served in a medium pitta bread and also served with the salad.
I am sure you'll be pleased to know that at least the salad is Syn free!
Here is how some other takeaway favourites compare:
- Onion Rings = 2 Syns Each
- 100g Cheese & Tomato Pizza = 12 Syns
- Cheese Burger = 15 Syns
- Chicken Burger = 20.5 Syns
- Fries = 7.5 Syns (Green)
- 6 Chicken Nuggets = 7.5 Syns (Red)
I think with these Syn values it would be better use of your Syns to make your own at home or alternatively bump up whatever you have with a salad. Such as having a single burger with lots of salad.
I must admit though, I thought they would fair a lot worse than the Fish & Chip Shop and it is really not that bad!
