Club Car Presented 2016 "Spirit of Community" Award
The tenth annual Spirit of Community Award was presented to Club Car at United Way's 2017 Annual Meeting on February 21, 2017, at the Augusta Marriott at the Convention Center. This traveling award is presented each year to a company that is committed to running a model United Way Campaign and exemplifies strong participation, high employee and corporate per capita giving, strong leadership, and overall volunteerism within the community.
In 2007, United Way presented the first annual Spirit of Community Award to the company committed to running a model Campaign and who exemplified strong participation and leadership giving, and overall volunteerism in the community.
Over the years, Club Car has shown true leadership and commitment in giving back to the community through United Way. Their campaign has increased significantly in the past six years resulting in the third highest campaign in the CSRA, raising a total of over $1.2 million in those six years alone.
They have organized and executed a first class golf tournament for the past five years, which is the largest special event fundraiser benefitting our United Way.
Not only do Club Car employees give financially, but they also give of their time by volunteering with United Way's Project Serve day of caring annually. And this past December, 60 members of their leadership team volunteered at eight of United Way's partner agencies accomplishing much needed service projects.
At this event, Club Car also won the Award of Excellence, and Judy Beltz was presented an Outstanding Employee Campaign Manager award.
Congratulations to Club Car and their employees for running an outstanding campaign!

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two people were able to escape a Hendersonville home damaged by fire Thursday afternoon.
Crews responded to the home on Rockland Road at around 1:30 p.m.
The fire is contained as crews work to put out remaining hot spots.
About 40 to 45 percent of the home was damaged by the fire, according to Hendersonville Fire Chief Scotty Bush.
"It's tragic, I mean, of course around the holiday season, anybody that loses anything, their belongings, personal belongings, stuff that can't be replaced, it's always catastrophic for the families, but we'll get involved hopefully through the red cross and the firefighters association around here will hopefully get involved and get these people taken care of like we always do," said Brown.
Most of the damage was contained to the home's garage.

Veron: I was poor against England
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The defeat in Sapporo puts Marcelo Bielsa's in a must-win situation against Sweden on Wednesday, as the South Americans look to secure a spot in the second round.
The Manchester United midfielder was substituted at half-time for Valencia's Pablo Aimar, after failing to cut open the England back-line with his passing and possession, which not up to his usual standard.
Veron is determined to put things right in their final Group F match against their Scandinavian opponents in Miyagi and revealed that he angry with himself for playing poorly against England.
He said: "I realise when I play badly, it is normal that it troubles me.
"I have a quarrel with myself and that is good but I hope to be able to improve (against Sweden)."
He conceded that England were the better side last Friday but admitted the match was not the most exciting of contests.
Veron added: "England took advantage of their opportunity. It was a dull game.
"We lost a possibility to qualify but we can still get through."

ENGINEERS and surviving builders of the Forth Road Bridge will tonight celebrate its 50th anniversary, as figures reveal it has carried more than three-quarters of a billion vehicles.
Bridge traffic levels have fallen over the past three years but the 760 million total up to July reflects the fact it is handling twice its design capacity.
The figure has been calculated using annual bridge records, but the real total could be far higher as they are incomplete.
Since tolls were abolished six years ago, traffic has been recorded using weight sensors embedded in the carriageways as vehicles drive over them.
However, they have been out of action for months at a time, and have been bypassed during roadworks.
Virtually all the 23 million vehicles a year using the bridge are due to switch to the new Queensferry Crossing when it is completed in December 2016.
The adjacent replacement bridge was ordered by ministers because of concern about the long-term strength of the Forth Road Bridge, as its main cables have been weakened by corrosion.
That will leave the existing bridge as a "public transport corridor", carrying buses, taxis, pedestrians and cyclists.
Farm vehicles and motorcycles under 50cc will also be permitted because they will be banned from the Queensferry Crossing, which is to be a motorway. Learner drivers will be unable to use either crossing.
However, there is expected to be pressure on the Scottish Government to ease the restrictions if traffic starts to increase again and the Queensferry Crossing becomes a bottleneck.
It will have only two lanes in each direction – the same as its older neighbour. There are also likely to be questions about the cost of maintaining the Forth Road Bridge once its annual traffic has shrunk from millions of vehicles to a few thousand.
The move will give bridge officials the opportunity to carry out major repairs which have been postponed because of the significant disruption they would otherwise have caused. They include replacing expansion joints in the bridge deck.
Sustainable transport campaigners Transform Scotland urged ministers to stick to their guns over the "old" bridge.
Director Colin Howden said: "The case for the second Forth road bridge was made on the basis that it was a replacement for the original bridge, which was misleadingly portrayed as being beyond repair.
"The old bridge must now, as has been repeatedly promised by the Scottish ministers, be kept solely for the use of public transport."
The Forth Estuary Transport Authority (Feta), which runs the bridge, said tonight's dinner at the National Museum of Scotland was to thank those most closely connected with the crossing.
Those attending include some of the 50 surviving bridge builders and several staff who have worked on the bridge for more than 25 years. Celebrations for the rest of Feta's 71 staff have been put off until after the Forth Bridges Festival concludes with a torchlit procession and fireworks display on 13 September.
A total of 2,014 torch bearers will create a half-mile long "river of fire" as they cross the bridge to go a concert and ceilidh in South Queensferry featuring Big Country.

Horizons: The Poetics and Theory of the Intermedia (Studies in Writing & Rhetoric)
Written for the lay reader as well as for academic literary theorists, this book bridges the gulf between the artistic avant-garde in music, visual arts, and experimental literature and the general pub lic. Higgins delves into multiple areas, but here is an example of one kind of poem he works with:
those pieces
that move like this
i say
are snowflakes
Along with many other artists John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Robert Rau schenberg, and Jackson Mac Low come to mind Dick Higgins has investigated and invented a variety of genres and forms, working especially in intermedia, the fusion of two or more discrete media. His poetics travel some distance from the poetry of the past. Here he uses the fu sion of the receiver s and the artist s horizons, their knowledge, feelings, ex periences, and imaginings to provide a vivid account of artistic experimentation over the last thirty years.

Sport is increasingly becoming an area of ethical ambiguity in which wider social problems are played out in a concentrated form. Social Problems in Sport provides a theoretical framework for exploring sport and deviance through an examination of the three main areas in which these issues arise:· The role of violence and aggression in young people's experience of sport as spectators and participants· The ambiguous nature of the control exercised by government, corporations and the media over sporting events and the ways in which players respond to these controlling factors· The increasing drive to improve sporting performance through a variety of techniques ranging from psychological coaching to performance enhancing drugsThroughout the emphasis is on the social pressures involved in sport and the ways in which individual athletes and the sporting community negotiate these.

In recent years African entrepreneurs and corporations have been making big moves to embrace more environmentally friendly business practices on the continent, whether its solar panels or geothermal prospecting. The latest green venture is produced by Ugandan firm Kiira Motors, which just launched Africa's first solar-powered bus.
"In Uganda, we have non-stop sun," says Kiira Motors CEO Paul Isaac Musasizi to CNN. "No other countries manufacturing vehicles are on the equator like Uganda. We should celebrate that, and make a business out of it."

Exactly what I needed :) Thank you very much Asterios Komertzoglou for this simple but useful app :) The only three feature I'm missing - 1. Password Protection of the app (Important) 2.To be able to see the Total Balance of all accounts together on the home screen and 3. Comma separated balance. Will be awaiting eagerly to see these three features in its next update ...
votsis panagiotis
Wow what a fancy thing archos My tablet uses an 8inch screen and this app rocks....definatelly my suggestion too! Both in greek and English
Kannan Ganesh

repala srinivasrao
Very good ap Uuseful very good of this app.
Vinod G
Beautiful Thanks guys really helpful
Mohsin Nazeer
Suggestion Two things you must included: 1. Category for adding bank accounts of different category. 2.There must be account title while entering details.
Ruhaizad Daud
The best so far to just remind you on your bank accounts. However, it will be perfect if the apps can be made secured with a password, so that the numbers can be kept secret. Anyway, great apps!
dhruv mangukia
Good....but it can be great if provisions for branch address and ifsc code are also included. Again, this is my opinion.
Like small size app Good job. If this app has password protection then I will be more safe.

The Versatile new PRO-HEAD 2 Trainer Offers Golfers Four New Capabilities At No Extra Cost
The new and improved PRO-HEAD 2 Trainer offers four new features that make the full swing training aid more versatile than ever.
Jupiter, FL, December 22, 2016 /PressReleasePing/ - The recently launched, new and improved PRO-HEAD 2 Trainer offers golfers and golf instructors four useful improvements over the original model.
1.The foam cylinder easily rotates into a vertical or horizontal position by simply pressing two compression buttons and turning the lower arm 90 degrees. Between the two positions of the cylinder, golfers can get instant feedback on ANY head movement.
Or they can place their heads on either side of the vertical foam cylinder to correct a faulty forward head movement or backward head movement.
This vertical position of the foam cylinder is also useful for golfers who utilize the "power squat." Such skilled golfers will get instant feedback on how much their heads are moving down and away from the foam, as they enter into their power squat impact zone.
2. The engraved height adjusting holes are lettered from A to S so that golfers can easily replace the height strut into the lettered hole for their correct and desired posture height.
3. The additional height adjusting holes Q, R and S, were added to the lower pole so that the foam cylinder can be lowered to the height of a golfer's butt. By putting the PH2T behind you and putting your butt against the foam, you can get feedback on whether you are 'early
extending'. Use this feature to avoid early extension and keep your spine angle, eliminate sway, and pivot correctly. Lou Guzzi, 2013 National PGA Teacher of the Year, refers to this feature as TTC or Total Tush Control."
4. The PH2T is 54" high and weighs only 15 pounds so that it can easily be carried, moved and used anywhere, indoors or outdoors. Golfers can exercise, train or swing, with or without a club, with or without hitting real or plastic balls.
About Us:
FBGI was founded in 2011 primarily to introduce its patented PRO-HEAD TRAINER to golfers in the US, to help them maintain their spine angles and learn to keep their heads behind the ball through impact. The original model sold out completely as golfers from the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, China and Australia also bought the product and improved their swings. FBGI will enter the global market in 2017 through Internet Retailers as well as through stocking distributors around the world. To learn more, visit http://www.foreverbettergolf.com.

Freeway Bill 3S's Intel - Post By Asells
_FreewayBill] Tired of waking up with no RV? Me too!
Last night, we had blessed assurance that we will see this, as I stated before Tuesday, but most likely, last night.
Well, I woke up this morning with no RV and I was, for the first time, extremely baffled.
Will it happen this weekend? I believe so.... Can we make it happen? No!
Should it have happened months ago?
Yes and we have documented proof of that...... Is it time to panic? NO WAY!
FreewayBill] This is a complex event and as Studley says "You can not micro-manage it"
All of the players are in place and all of the documents have been signed and all of the banks are getting ready or are already ready....
99% of the people "in the know" have literally called for this weekend..... Will it happen?
I certainly hope so because I see no better window than NOW!
This site has the very best intel sources and we are all scratching our head this morning after the hours and hours of credible, confirmed intel that we had at 3 am this morning...'
MORE TO COME.... GOD BLESS and Keep your palms face up to receive your blessing!

Guys, if you have not seen her, text her, or been in contact with her for almost 2 days, and when you text her, she responds to your texts as soon as possible, would you see it as a sign of desperation? or would you just assume she happen to have the phone on her? Is she better off having let you wait for a couple hours before she respond to your text, does it affect your perception of her, make her appear more valuable or attractive if she doesn't respond to your texts right the way?
Most Helpful Guy
I absolutely hate women who intentionally take too long to answer back. I hate them. It's childish. You never know if you said something wrong or if she is ignoring you or hasn't gotten it yet if she does that. If I notice I get a text I respond immediately unless I'm busy, mind games aren't fun to be on the other side of.11|00|0
Thanks, I thought I screwed up major by responding right the way.

A round pen has a different definition for various individuals – some might think of plain metal pipe fence forming a perfect circle, while others think about pristinely designed round pens. Here are eight round pens to make you think outside of the ordinary design.
Above, one of my favorite round pens. This five acre equestrian property in Oregon sold for a little over 1.6 million. Five acres isn't a lot of land but the pen was designed to blend in with the home's architecture and be a spacious outdoor arena too.
A raised metal round pen with a small viewing area works perfectly in warmer climates. The roof shields riders and horses from the sun. You may purchase this design from Buildings and Barns.
This happens to be a round pen with a view! Wouldn't it be nice to ride and look out at those mountains? The project was completed by Merry Go Round Pens. Consider checking out their entire website for lots of Stable Style worthy round pens.
White is nice and this covered round pen offers dutch doors and high walls for no outside distractions. I found the photo on Pinterest with no source – feel free to share the builder and/or photographer if you know them.
It might be a round pen – or a Teomactic ring horse walker. This technology from Rower & Rub allows you to have a hot walker and area to lunge or work.
Build a grand round pen or hot walker with the help of Smiros & Smiros. A little Mediterranean style is always a good idea.
Morton Buildings created this spacious covered round pen with blue accents.
Here is another round pen by Merry Go Round Pens. They offer options to build stalls, viewing areas, and lots of personal touches.
What does your dream round pen look like?

>I think sometimes the best way to travel is to make few plans and have even fewer expectations. Such was our impromptu trip to Monterey this January. We were amazingly fortunate with the weather, warm blue skies and a three day holiday. So last minute, we piled up the buggy and headed north. The only things on the agenda – a stop for lunch and quick hug for my daughter in San Luis Obispo, and a visit to the world famous Monterey Aquarium.
Now, I may sound carefree, but I do like to know where I'm going to put my head at night, especially during a long holiday weekend, so we did our due diligence. After weighing our preferences and our budget, we settled on the Hotel Casa Munras, a boutique hotel about a 10 minute walk to the pier. Nothing is perfect and the reviews on the hotel had included some negative comments, so I made sure when we got our room to ask for one that was quieter. Research does pay off, and we got a sweet little room just over the pool and rose garden. And though the room did smell a little bit musty (you get used to it), the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had just been remodeled, and I quite loved our little L'Occitane bath soaps.

Neonatal Calf Diarrhea
Scours continues to be the greatest single cause of death
of calves in the world. A complex, multifactoral disease
involving the calf, nutrition, environment, and infectious
agents. Decades of research have been dedicated to
obtaining a better understanding of this disease complex.
The list of bacteria and viruses that can potentially cause
diarrhea is quite large.
There are six major pathogens that cause diarrhea in
neonatal calves:
• enterotoxigenic Escherichia
coli K99,
• rotavirus, coronavirus,
• Cryptosporidium parvum,
• Salmonella spp.,
• and Clostridium perfringens type C.
The color and consistency of the feces and gross lesions
can look similar, no matter the causative agent.
Therefore laboratory identification of the infectious agent
and histopathology are imperative to obtaining a
diagnosis. It should also be noted that it is common
for more than one pathogen to be causing the disease, and
that pathogens causing the disease on a farm can change
from year to year. These facts make it imperative
that your veterinarian identifies the causative agent(s) to
better establish proper prevention and treatment protocols.
In the early stages of diarrhea, the calf appears bright,
eats and drinks well, and the only evidence of disease is
an increase in the volume and water content of the feces.
The stool volume and fluid content increase as the
condition progresses and the material being passed becomes
a clear liquid. At this stage the base of the tail and
hindquarters simply appear wet. The loss of body fluid and
electrolyte through the passage of large volumes of watery
feces causes signs of dehydration in other parts of the
body as well. The hair coat and skin become dry and
scruffy, the abdomen gaunt, the eyes, nose and mouth dry.
The skin feels leathery to the touch. As the calf's
condition deteriorates further, the eyes sink into the
sockets, the nose becomes dry, the skin very leathery and
after lifting (tenting) the skin will only slowly return to
the normal position. The animals are usually quite weak at
this time and many are unable to stand or lift their heads.
Death is not far off.
The calf's temperature is of little assistance in making a
diagnosis of scours. The temperature is usually normal or
slightly elevated in the early stages of the
and as the animal's condition deteriorates the temperature
becomes subnormal.
The most common cause of death in diarrheic calves is
dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and acidosis.
Replacement of fluid and electrolytes can be either orally
or intravenously depending on severity of illness.
Calves that are standing and have a suckle reflex should
respond to oral fluid and electrolyte replacement.
Calves that are weak or unable to rise and/or have a weak
or absent suckle reflex will require intravenous
therapy. Your veterinarian should be contacted
immediately if there is need of intravenous treatment.
The increased energy and protein requirements of the
diarrheic calf necessitate it getting milk as quickly as
possible. Calves that are being treated with oral
electrolyte solutions should not be withheld from milk
longer than 24 hours. Oral electrolyte solutions
containing bicarbonate and citrate are excellent
alkalinizing agents but have been shown to reduce milk
digestibility by interfering with abomasal milk clot
formation. Therefore they should not be used on
calves that are receiving milk concurrently. Acetate-based
solutions can be fed concurrently with milk. Systemic
antibiotics can be used if deemed necessary by your
the Disease
Prevention of neonatal diarrhea in calves is
two-fold in nature. First is insuring, maintaining,
and increasing the disease resistance of the calf and
secondly is decreasing the concentration of pathogens
(bacteria and/or viruses) to which the calf is exposed.
Disease Resistance in the
Neonatal Calf:
1. Provision of
adequate energy, protein, and minerals during the last 3
months of pregnancy for optimal immune system development
in the fetus. Cows and heifers should gain about 1
pound per day for fetus and placenta development.
Adequate nutrition is necessary to maximize colostrum
quantity and quality. Antibodies are proteins and
adequate protein intake by the dam helps insure antibody
production. Colostral antibodies are an extremely
important supplement to the calf's innate immune mechanisms
in providing disease resistance.
Serum maternal antibody levels in the calf depend on the
amount of antibodies absorbed by the intestine and is
dependent on quantity of antibody consumed, timeliness of
consumption, and absorptive capacity of the
intestine. Quantity is dependent of quantity produced
by the dam, udder and teat conformation, and motherability
of the dam. The ability of the intestine to absorb
colostral antibodies begins to decrease at birth, ~ 50%
absorptive ability at 12 hours of age, and completely
closes by 24-27 hours of age. The ability of the
intestine to absorb antibodies appears to be adversely
affected by weather extremes and stresses such as
associated with a difficult birth. Therefore events
that increase the time interval from calving to colostrum
consumption will adversely affect the calf's ability to
resist disease. This lack disease resistance has been shown
to increase the chance of disease, death and decreased
productivity in the neonatal period and to continue through
the feedlot period.
2. Specific colostral
antibody enhancement using vaccines that contain
rotaviruses, coronavirus, E. coli K99, and Clostridium
perfringens type C antigens, can be helpful in preventing
calf scours. They must be administered to the dam
according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maximize
antibody development in the dam and subsequent secretion of
antibodies into the colostrum.
3. Other products used
to provide protection to specific pathogens are oral
rotavirus and coronavirus vaccines, which is used to
provide protection against intestinal infection by these
two viral agents. This oral vaccine must be
administered prior to the calf receiving colostrum.
Products containing antibodies to E. coli K99 can provide
short-term protection for the calf. Your veterinarian
should be consulted about these products.
Decreasing Pathogen Exposure
to the Calf:
1. Calving in clean and dry areas.
2. Calve heifers earlier than the cow herd.
3. Avoid congregating.
a. Avoid hay feeding in calving pastures by setting aside
pastures during the summer to stockpile forage for
utilization during calving time.
b. Move pairs to larger pastures promptly
c. If hay is fed, use hay feeders and move feeders
4. Use biosecurity and biocontainment measures for all
herd additions:
a. Isolate, quarantine, and perform appropriate tests on
all herd additions. (See section on Biosecurity in the Beef
b. Introduce pregnant herd additions at least 30 days prior
to the start of calving season. This will allow time
for exposure to new pathogens, antibody development and
secretion of antibodies into the colostrum.
c. Do not add calves to the herd until the youngest calf in
the herd is over 30 days of age. Buying a calf at a
livestock auction or from a dairy for a cow that has lost a
calf can introduce diseases that your herd may not have
immunity against.
5. Isolation and treatment:
a. Remove sick calves from the herd immediately. One
sick calf can produce overwhelming pathogen exposure by
shedding as many as 100 million bacteria or viruses per
milliliter of feces (500 million bacteria and or viruses
per teaspoon of feces).
b. Treating the sick calves should occur after handling the
well calves. Clean and disinfect all equipment.
Clothing, boots, gloves, etc. worn while treating sick
calves should not be worn when handling well calves.
Take Home
1. Bacteria and/or
viruses and decreased calf resistance primarily cause calf
diarrhea complex to disease.
2. The affects in the calf include; dehydration,
electrolyte imbalance, acidosis, increased energy
requirement, loss of appetite, depression, and death.
3. Treatment is based on replacement of fluid and
4. Prevention is two-fold and based on increasing the
calf's resistance to disease and decreasing the calf's
exposure to disease (pathogens).
5. Identify problems early and work with your
6. Remember mother nature's disease prevention
method. If the population of a species in an area
increases to the critical point of overpopulation, three
things can happen that lower population pressures: 1)
Increase in predators, 2) starvation, or 3) disease.
The result is a well-fed manageable population that has a
high degree of resistance to disease.

Purecheck is inspired by this article. Purecheck scans JavaScript code and looks for function declarations, checking whether they are pure functions or not. For a function to be pure, it must:
this or variables from other scopes has side effects.
throw any error: pure functions do not break the execution flow
Purecheck generates a report listing all scanned functions along with their associated side causes and side effects. It uses Esprima to do the parsing.
npm install
npm run build
npm install purecheck:
purecheck file_to_check.js
npm start file_to_check.js
If no file is specified, purecheck will read from the standard input. This allows piping the output of another command, e.g. a transpile step.
-t: purecheck reports errors specifying the line and column of the offending code. When the JS file has tabs, the column position may not be reported correctly, so this parameter can be used to specify the number of spaces used by a tab. The default value is 4 spaces per tab.

Make Windows 8 look like Windows again
Windows 8 is almost here and, with it, the smartphone style interface. On a desktop? Seriously? if you're like us, you hate the phone style interface. Oh, and they changed Windows Explorer, too. No more nice, clean "look at my files on my hard drive". If you want to go back to the good old windows 7 style interface, the one you're used to, the one that actually looks like the Windows you've known since Windows 95, desktop and all, use this free utility. The nice thing about this is you can switch back and forth, so if you ever want your PC to look like a phone, you can go back. But really, why would you?

He said... She said... 1b
He said...
So I finally met her. We'd been talking for almost a year now, I really cant believe it was that long, but I must confess she was worth every phone call. The bond we shared was... is intense yet pure, a yearning for intimate bliss, but I digress; you would think this concept was unflawed with her dozing off gently while we ruminated over any and everything. On countless occasions I could sense a yearning for her to linger on but she trusted my unspoken emotions enough to fall asleep while we talked. She had once told me that my voice was ever so soothing; she sounded so peaceful even in sleep and all I wanted to do was care for her.
Atlanta, I love this city. Did I mention she lives here, and that I was in town for a conference for a few days? They say Ambivalence is a two sided coin, but I doubt that was my current state of mind. We had never really discussed meeting, I'd never really brought it up because I sensed a slight ting of apprehension a few times while we talked; she hadn't said it in so many words but I knew it had to do with her inability to trust again, only if I could get her to trust again.
I'd been trying to piece together the perfect meeting scenario or at least how I hoped it would play out, I had recounted to myself several times what I'd say when we see each other for the first time - "Hey! How are you doing, I couldn't leave town without a good bye and a daily dose of my medicine; that beautiful voice of yours". Nah!! That was corny! Why was this so difficult! However, the thought of how she may see the chance meeting shattered my resolve. I was conflicted, but I needed to see her.
And so it was on that auspicious night that I had damned all caution. I had to make a physical connection, and what better way to cement and bring our unspoken bond to fruition... this had to be done! I found her place, very nice house indeed, and proceeded to park my rental. It was a little past 9pm, there seemed to be no activity within the house, all the lights were out, is she awake? This is a really bad idea, talk about bad timing, I thought. Thoughts racing, I recollect myself, I pick up my cell, her number is on speed dial, it'd almost become a reflex action, I pushed the button and hear the dial tone, mere seconds seem like ages, chest is throbbing, I am perspiring, its only 50deg out, thoughts still racing, what is she going to ...
She picks up - "hello"...
"Hey D!" I blurt out,
Stay calm, I tell myself, there is a brief pause; I've got to say something -
"I know we never discussed meeting but do you mind if we met?"
Not as I'd planned but there Id said it. I could sense her hesitation, she replied, voice ever so soft -
"You really want to meet me?"
I could sense her uncertainty, I had to reassure her, the yearning to care for her became overwhelming and I laughed, and I suddenly felt silly for worrying.
Half way through my musing she says - "You know I hate it when you laugh like that?"
A little more relaxed and confident now I reply - "Awwww babe. Come on. It's not like that, "I just don't want to miss out on this opportunity"
Only if she knew!
Lights came on, I think she was peering; I tried to reassure her,
"I've come all this way to turn back now, trust me all I want to do is meet you"
She responds - "I don't think meeting is a good idea. I'm sorry."
But ... She cuts me off - "Let me call you back in like three minutes"
Without so much of a response from me she hung up. Now I was really confused; did I do something wrong, I knew I should have discussed this with her instead of dropping in on her like that, what was I thinking???!!!!
She did say she'd call back in 3 minutes, Lord, I was hoping she would call back. I didnt want to end up looking the fool!
7 minutes went by, I stepped out the car, I felt suffocated, cold bites were seeping through the pores of my skin, the house was in full view now, was she looking? I wondered what she was doing, why was I here? I thought to myself, well I hope she's looking, at least one of us gets the privilege. Dejected but resolved I reached for my car door, at least I tried, I was not dressed for this weather.
I embraced the warmth in the vehicle, reached for the car keys, turned the ignition, the car purred to life. I looked back at the house, hoping by the merest feasible inkling that my phone would start ringing. I started to count down, silly I know but I was becoming desperate, 10, 9... call me, you can't leave me here hanging 6, 5... come on D, the least you can do is come out and say hello, 2, 1...
I revved the car a little and just as I was about to set the car in motion, I hear a sudden thud, I jumped instinctively, half swearing, I look around frantically and then stared into my rear view mirror and there she was.
I stepped out of the car, my initial emotion that of anger, I felt ridiculed, and just as I was about to express my disappointment, she began to cry, and that one moment redefined the reason why I was here altogether.I felt my frustration melt away from me, it all began to make sense, I instinctively reached for her embracing her in a hug. She held on tightly shaking from her sobbing, and we just stood there oblivious to everything else.
D... this song is dedicated to you...

Allen & Overy assembled a firm-wide team to advise on the complicated structuring of this deal – one of the most unusual it has undertaken out of its financial services and investment structures group.
Bear Stearns is an established client of Allen & Overy. This piece of work came in through corporate partner Andrew Baltheimer in New York when he heard the investment bank was looking to set up a fund in Europe.
The venture capital fund is rare because the investment bank is working alongside Virgin Media to run it, with former BBC director-general Lord Birt having been appointed as non-executive chairman. The regulatory aspects of bringing the three parties together, as well as the tax, corporate and private client issues, led to the deal taking more than six months to complete.
The financial services and investment structures group, part of the banking department at Allen & Overy, has focused on investors rather than fund managers, although both are serviced.
This euro150m (£86.4m) new media venture capital fund was set up as an English limited partnership, in line with UK Venture Capital Association guidelines, with Bear Stearns acting as investment manager. Virgin Media will provide consultative and deal-flow assistance in respect of the fund.

Harendra*; Benninga, Marc A.‡Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition: April 2014 - Volume 58 - Issue 4 - p 486–490 doi: 10.1097/MPG.0000000000000249 Original Articles: Gastroenterology Abstract Author Information Objective: Child abuse leads to multiple physical and psychosomatic sequelae. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between child abuse and constipation among schoolchildren. Methods: Children 13 to 18 years of age were selected from 4 semiurban schools in Gampaha District, Sri Lanka. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Information regarding sociodemographic factors and gastrointestinal symptoms, child abuse, and somatisation were collected. Constipation was diagnosed using Rome III criteria. Results: A total of 1792 children were included in the analysis (boys 975 [54.4%], mean age 14.4 years, standard deviation [SD] 1.3 years). One hundred thirty-eight (7.7%) fulfilled Rome III criteria for constipation. The number of children exposed to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse were, respectively, 438 (24.4%), 396 (22.1%), and 51 (2.8%). The prevalence of constipation was significantly higher in those exposed to sexual (5.8% vs 2.6% P = 0.03), emotional (40.9% vs 20.8%, P < 0.0001), and physical abuse (41.6% vs 23.2%, P < 0.0001). Mean somatisation score was higher in the total group of abused children with constipation (mean 18.6, SD 12.5) compared with those without (mean 13.9, SD 12.3; P = 0.027). Children with a history of abuse did not seek health care more often than children without this history. Patient-perceived severity of bowel symptoms was higher in children with physical abuse (23.7 vs 19.7 P = 0.001) and emotional abuse (25.4 vs 19.3 P < 0.0001). Conclusions: Childhood constipation shows a significant association with physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Children with constipation complain of more somatic symptoms and bowel symptoms when they are exposed to abuse. *Faculty of Medicine, Department of Paediatrics †Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physiology, University of Kelaniya, Ragama, Sri Lanka ‡Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Emma Children's Hospital, Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

After months of debate and after numerous court cases, Dell's shareholders have finally accepted the £15.6billion buyout offer by founder Michael Dell on Thursday, September 12. This move ends the computer maker's 25-tenure as a public company.
In a statement, Michael Dell said: "I am pleased with this outcome."
"As a private enterprise, with a strong private-equity partner, we'll serve our customers with a single-minded purpose and drive the innovations that will help them achieve their goals."
Dell has suffered serious blows before the deal was approved. Last month, its profits took a nosedive and declined by a staggering 72per cent for the quarter as more and more consumers turned away from personal computers.
Mr Dell and his partners have said that painful changes must be done in order to turn around the company and these changes could impact profits for the next two years. It is for this reason that they wanted to make the company private.
The buyout would mean that shareholders will be paid $13.88 per share. They will also receive 8 cents per share quarterly dividend.

I'm going on a date with a beautiful woman and I basically have to assume she's dating/seeing other guys as well since that's the nature of the thing. I have a few disadvantages: I'm younger than her by 2 years and I'm not half as good looking. Also, I'm rather skinny.
The only good thing I have going for me is that she gave me her number on my own, though God knows why.
How do I make sure I stand out and how do I try to make it not a big deal?
Most Helpful Girl
By being yourself. I was being courted by many abd going on a few dates with some, (none of which ended with so much as a kiss) when I met my boyfriend. It just clicked. The compatibility was there. In fact, in our case, I initially turned down his first attempt to go out because I had a second date planned with someone when we first met and I didn't want to even partially commit to a date in case the upcoming date went somehow good and I wouldn't feel like dating anyone else. When that guy unfortunately cancelled, boyfriend, at the time one of many attempting suitors, whom I was by then really enjoying his company in even text, asked me if I was upset. I told him no because I had no emotional attachment and was just being careful and fair about things. An hour later, he jumped on the opportunity and asked me to lunch the next day. I was very impressed at his action, that he didn't wait to lose the chance and quickly agreed, very atteacted by his bold approach. I accepted and we very quickly found out we were very compatible. We went on several more dates the same week, and by the end of it, I was content to accept us to take things exclusive (though I hadn't accepted dates already since I met him and went on our first date.) When we decided exclusivity, (only because it was very incredibly clearly mutual) I responded to any new messages from guys who had attempting to court me with a polite and tactful response that I'd begun dating and was no longer interested in continuing even casual nuance.
Very seriously, he won me over before the date, as someone I enjoyed talking to (even then after only 3 days before the first date) We'd clicked inmediately and I saw characteristics early on that already made me feel like he was easy, interesting, attentive though not clingy, and not irritating (You'd be surprised how many were...) With his go getter approach that made me feel like he was fully interested and and didn't give up despite 'competition, I was won over even more. Our date was very warn and honestly...'it' was just there. I respected, admired, and adored him immediately. I was rivetted. Three months later and I'm so happy that he pursued me. He is by far, without a shadow of a doubt, the best thing outside my son, that has ever happened to me.
And you know what? He still, with complete sincerity, admits to being completely thrown for a loop that I accepted and committed to a date. He's told me that he was fully prepared for and expecting a rejection and couldn't believe I accepted. (When I did, he actually responded, "Wow. Really?" or something to that effect that I found adorable even then and told him "Of course. Why wouldn't I?" But he went for it and asked me, thankfully for me, and now we're both very lucky he did.10|10|0
so you were into him before you ever saw what he looked like?
- Show AllShow Less
What made it different:
-He took time to get to know me.
-He wasn't pushy or demanding.
-He didn't over enthuse how great I was. (many do that, verrry annoying, it implies we're not on the same level when we are)
-He didn't back off or get jaded when I couldn't commit to a date.
-He made light humor in our convos.
-He didn't dis the chances of another suitor.
-He didn't try to flex his skills or intelligence.
All of which most guys generally do when trying to 'hook' a girl.
Sorry, I meant, many/most guys try to flex skills and over enthuse ours, what I should more accurately say, most guys do the opposite of the things on this list. It was a mixed list of do's and don't. Most guys do NOT keep it light while showing still showing interest.

Genesis Gaming
The first thing to know about Genesis Gaming is, to call them as "Genesis Gaming Inc." to avoid confusion. Because, for some reason, Genesis is a popular brand name in casino games industry. Established in 2008, Genesis Gaming Inc. specializes only in the development of slot games – nothing else. They also do not bother to create a delivery platform like many companies and use others. Currently, Genesis Gaming Inc. games are released on Quickfire, which is Microgaming's delivery platform. Because of this, many online casinos list Genesis Gaming Inc. games under their Microgaming library, which is confusing.
Currently, they offer more than 150 casino games with different themes and platforms. Genesis Gaming Inc. develops slot machines for land-based casinos, online slot games for casino websites and mobile casino games for social media platforms. Most of their collection also supports iOS and Android platforms too.
Their slot games collection is available at some of the largest operators and respected manufacturers. The company develops slot games on a global basis and works with big-league online casinos such as Mr. Green. There are also casino-specific games of the company too, for example, Ski Jump game is made for specifically Mr. Green casino and is not available anywhere else. Currently, the company is based on Las Vegas but it has offices all around the world, including London, Vancouver and Hong Kong.
World's First Simultaneous Launch
Genesis Gaming Inc. consists of a small but dedicated team, with backgrounds in the land-based casino industry. They release new slot games very fast. For example, Genesis Gaming Inc. released 50 new titles in 2014. That's nearly two new games on each month. All of their games are Flash and HTML5 based.
In other words, their graphics quality is on par with NetEnt and can be played instantly. No download or installation is needed for Genesis Gaming Inc. games, just log on to the website and start playing in mere seconds. They are also known for the world's first simultaneous launch of a video slot game in Flash, HTML5, and native device formats in April 2015.
Genesis Gaming Casino Games
The well-known titles of the company are: Hells Grannies: Knit Happens!, Mystic Monkeys, Orion, Ragnarok, Robyn, Seven Deadly Sins, and Ski Jump. Haunted Night, Temple of Luxor, Mirror Magic, Bier Fest, and Machine Gun Unicorn are amongst the latest titles with innovative gameplay and high payout numbers.
We especially recommend checking out Haunted Night. It is a horror themed 243 pay line game with lots of bonus features. If you like cartoony themes, take a look at Dragons Rock – it consists of cute little dragons and an art style of hand-drawn graphics. Let's not forget about the most known title of the company: Reindeer Wild Wins. It is a 1024 pay lines game with a huge jackpot.
Nowadays, Genesis Gaming Inc. is about to switch to Relax Gaming Platform for its delivery system, instead of Quickfire. Three titles have gone live under this platform: Mystic Monkeys, Dragons Rock and Dinosaur Adventure. It seems the future is bright for the company and full of high-quality slot games.

Human Rights

Sometimes it is surprising to me how we keep having battles over human rights and equality. Like, as a whole, we don't learn the bigger message the first time.
We've been through religious rights. We've been through women's rights and ethnic rights and so on. Sure, some people stubbornly cling to their prejudice and ignorance, but as a
we've moved past these things because those people DESERVED equal rights--HUMAN rights. And now the LGBT community has to fight for the rights as well. To be honest, it's quite aggravating to me that this would even need to be discussed! Haven't we, as a whole, learned what equal human rights means? Do we really have to keep explaining what HUMAN is to people? I do think eventually--hopefully soon--the LGBT community will get the equal rights they deserve.
After that, I wonder if there will be more progress made for children's rights. I'm not saying a 6 year old should be allowed to vote, BUT I do think that children should have the same basic HUMAN rights. Currently, they do not; there are so many exceptions to the laws when it comes with kids, as though their status in this society is "property" before "human". For example, it is a crime to hit another person (unless they consent, such as in sports of sexual preference) but not a crime to hit a child. The exception can't come from them being "related" because I know it wouldn't be legal to smack my grandmother (nor would I want to). It's acceptable only because the child is not an adult, and somehow that excludes them from a protection that is granted to those that are bigger and stronger than they are. Even more upsetting is how many states still allow corporal punishments in schools; there are even private schools you cannot send your child to UNLESS you agree to letting them use CP on your children. How is this legal?
Often, those who are for disregarding the rights of others hide behind their religious freedom. I see it with children OFTEN, where people say they have the right to raise their children according to their religious beliefs, which in their case just so happens to include obeying their god by hitting their child. AND you see the same attitudes toward gays, and in the past, toward women and different ethic groups. These attitudes still exist today, but at least in some cases society does not condone nor allow it. The problem I have with using religion as an excuse for how you treat someone else is it would be a slippery slope. I think most people would agree that you can't kill someone just because you think your religion said you could. Likewise, you can't use your religion as an excuse to hit another adult.
My "rule" for determining rights, while perhaps not perfect, is that one person's rights end where another begins. In other words, you can do whatever you want with your life so long as you are not hurting the rights of someone else in the process. You are free to go to church, because that does affect me directly (or at all really lol) but you cannot spray me in the face with holy water pepper spray because you think god told you to. You do not have to attend a gay marriage or marry someone of the same sex, but you can't use your religion to stop someone else from marrying someone of the same sex. And so on. You can't say, "it's my right to hit my child" because your child is human and has the right not to be hit, so your perceived "right" to do something would directly conflict with someone else's basic human rights. That's where the line is. And if you think about it, you can live a really free life without
What do you think? Is it infringing on someone's right to stop them from infringing on someone else's rights? Or is it overstepping your bounds to claim your "rights" give you the right to prevent someone else from accessing their rights?
Thank you
for the beautiful siggy!

Bowley Kenpo Karate » Philosophy » Too Much, Too Soon, Too Fast
Too Much, Too Soon, Too Fast
Have you ever started something new, become enraptured with it, and try to spend as much time as possible doing it? Yeah, me too. Kenpo is one of my personal passions like that. For many beginners just starting down the martial arts path, it's like that as well. Some become dojo junkies always looking for the next bit of knowledge, even if it's beyond their current skill level.
But a word of caution. Trying to do too much, too soon can lead to frustration, burn out, or injury.
In our school the first time a student spars, adult or child, they've fallen in love with it. Sparring becomes the drill they request every time. And after sparring the focus is always on what can they do better. Which is great, but trying to improve too many skills at once is daunting and frustrating. If you focus on your stances, where to keep your hands, the angles, and watching your opponent at the same time, you'll be overwhelmed and not focus on anything. And likely see no improvement as a result. It can be so difficult to do that burnt out can occur.
The key to avoid this problem is to take baby steps. Work on your footwork. Get comfortable enough with your fighting stance so that you can work on your hands and the footwork doesn't suffer. (too much) Then continue the progression forward by looking for targets and changing angles. Once you can move effectively, then you can begin watching your opponent. It will take longer to develop but you'll be a better martial artist for traveling the longer road.
There is a reason the system has an order to it. The order ensures each practitioner has the opportunity to learn and develop the skills necessary to build upon. Basics build into techniques. Techniques build into freestyle application which becomes sparring. The fluidity of the skills takes many hours of mat time and homework. It doesn't happen overnight. Trying to master all the nuances at once results in mastery of none.
Your instructor and higher rank classmates will be there to guide you and make sure you're ready before learning the next skill. But in the YouTube age, some self discipline is needed to not drill things beyond your reach while at home. Seeing where you're going and what you'll eventually learn is great for goal setting. Take the time to get there and build the skills along the way.

The University of Georgia's 15th ranked men's and 17th ranked women's track and field teams had strong showings at both Iowa State and Virginia Tech on Saturday.
Most of Georgia's competitors completed the final day of competition in Ames, Iowa, at the Iowa State Classic at ISU's Recreation/Athletic Center. The Georgia men's 1,600-meter relay team placed fifth with a school record time of 3:10.83.
The time was just .43 seconds short of an NCAA provisional mark. The women's 1,600-meter relay team placed third and increased its NCAA provisional standing with a season best time of 3:40.27. Ken Garrett also set a school record in the 60-meter hurdles, running a 8.01 in the preliminaries.
Garrett placed 10th in the finals (8.02). Marie Woodward placed fourth in the 400-meter dash (56.00) and Latifah Long tied for fourth in the high jump (5 feet, 7 3/4 inches). Reggie Brown (ninth, 6.89) and Tasha Mahone (16th, 7.73) made the finals in the 60-meter dash.
In Blacksburg, Va., Georgia's pole vaulters performed well at Virginia Tech's Pepsi Valentines Invitational at the Rector Fieldhouse. NCAA automatic qualifier and Georgia women's indoor pole vault record holder Thorey Elisdottir finished first and extended her winning streak to three with a winning mark of 13-9 1/4. Elisdottir has won the women's pole vault in every meet she has competed in so far for the Lady Bulldogs.
Georgia's men had two strong competitors in the pole vault. David Lemen broke the Georgia men's indoor pole vault record and a personal-best mark of 17-3/4, placing third. Timo Makkonen, the previous record holder, matched his former school record mark with a jump of 16-83/4, placing fourth.
The Georgia men's and women's track and field squads will have next weekend off as they prepare for the SEC Indoor Championships on Feb. 24-25 at the University of Kentucky's Nutter Field House.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Investigators are putting together a case that could lead to charges against a University of St. Thomas (UST) student who police say accidentally shot his roommate last Friday.
UST security and St. Paul Police squads were called to a dorm suite in Flynn Hall around 8:15 p.m. after reports of an accidental shooting. A police spokesman says a 22-year-old student from Hermantown who has a permit to carry was moving to secure his handgun inside a lock box when the weapon discharged. He told officers that he didn't think there was live ammo in the gun.
The bullet went through a wall into a common area, grazing the head of his roommate, a 22-year-old man from Maple Grove. Police called the wound "a graze," but UST officials later said he was taken to Regions Hospital and underwent surgery.
University of St. Thomas policy bans guns from residence halls even if a student has a permit. UST spokesperson Janet Swiecichowski says the incident is being handled by the University Student Conduct Board, which is "acting quickly and with due diligence." She says a message was sent out to students on Saturday assuring them that the suspect is not currently on campus. He will receive a hearing and review, and if found in violation consequences could include penalties "up to expulsion."
Swiecichowski adds that anecdotally, this appears to be the first incident involving discharge of a weapon on campus in St. Thomas history.
On the criminal side of things, St. Paul Police spokesman Steve Linders says charges of reckless discharge of a firearm are "quite possible."

1 of 2 people found this review helpful
It's all about the hoursepower
By Walter on
Vehicle2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK55 AMG 2dr Cabriolet (5.4L 8cyl 5A)
ReviewThis is the most fun car I've ever driven. When I went to trade in my 911 Porsche for a more practical car, I thought I would have to say good-bye to speed. This car effortlessly leaves everyone else in my dust. My office is next to an exotic car dealership. I love the looks of people who just plunked down over $100K, and didn't get nearly the car I did. This car never breaks a sweat as you go from a stop to highway speeds in a blink of an eye.
Best FeaturesAcceleration, handling, brakes, the semi-automatic transmission, and the ragtop.
Worst FeaturesThere are a few reliability issues to address, the gas mileage is worse than a SUV, there is a large blind spot for the driver, and the car could use a better sound system.
