The Olivia Burton watch collection has gained a cult following thanks its vintage-inspired designs. Olivia Burton watches are available with a small 'midi dial' or large 'big dial'. This variety in size means watch-lovers can choose between a statement piece that makes an impact, and a small watch that adds subtle detailing to an outfit. At first glance, the range of watches may appear simplistic, but thanks to Olivia Burton's obsessive attention to detail, they're anything but. The simpler watches feature soft metallic hues coupled with pearlescent faces for a glossy finish. Statement designs showcase a pure love with all things traditionally British. The countryside is beautifully represented with bold images of fauna, while British classic Alice in Wonderland is used to inspire a fantastically stunning range. Lovers of vintage and British style should look no further than the Olivia Burton collection.

Assisted living facility reforms fail to pass
A last-ditch attempt to pass legislation to reform the state's assisted living facilities, measures sought since a 2011 Miami Herald investigation revealed neglect, abuse and death of ALF residents, failed on the last day of Florida's legislative session.
The Senate had passed a bill (SB 646) by Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, which tightened oversight of Florida's nearly 3,000 assisted living facilities, by a 38-0 vote on April 11, but a companion measure in the House never got any traction.
Still, the House could have passed the Senate bill.
To increase the odds of getting a bill passed, Sobel added the reforms to an omnibus healthcare bill (SB 966) sponsored by Sen. Aaron Bean, Fernandina Beach, that was later weighed down with dozens of amendments. With the clock ticking, the bill was never heard Friday afternoon.
"I am hugely disappointed," said AARP Florida advocacy manager Jack McRay. "I think that in the next go-around, the Legislature ought to focus more on protecting residents of ALFs than protecting the industry."
Legislators have been trying to pass reforms since a Herald investigation found that at least 70 residents of assisted living facilities had died from abuse and neglect since 2002. After the series, Gov. Rick Scott vowed to make improvements. He formed an ALF task force in 2011, which developed forceful reforms, but the House and Senate weren't able to agree on a proposal based on its recommendations during the 2012 session.
While Sobel's bill this session wasn't as tough as last year's effort, it did have regulations to help protect residents.
The Senate version of the bill would have ensured more standard inspections and required that homes with at least one mental health patient obtain a specialty license for limited mental health, and ensure the facility has a plan for a resident's mental healthcare.
The bill would also have devised an ALF rating system and consumer guide.
It also called for more equitable fines for violations — larger facilities would pay larger fines than smaller ALFs.
Pat Lange, executive director of the Florida Assisted Living Association, said that the group thought this year's legislation was a "more reasonable approach" than last year's tougher reforms. She said the bill, and amendments in the Bean omnibus bill, closed some loopholes referring to fines and functions by staff.
Lange said "bad ALFs should be fined or closed. … We'd like to see something positive and move forward."
State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez, R-Hialeah, sponsor of the House version of the bill, said he feels there was "tremendous progress" made this year.
"I want to make sure that we protect the people who live in those places, and some of those conditions are not good, but by the same token I can't shut down an industry," Gonzalez said.
Yet the bill's backers say residents have been waiting too long for reform.
Brian Lee, executive director of Families for Better Care, said his research showed there were 100 sanctions and fines against ALFs just this month.
"Sen. Sobel made a valiant effort to get something done, but we might as well stick a fork in ALF reforms."
The elderly, he said, "drive our economy. If we can't take better care of them then they won't want to come here anymore."
Sobel said she would take up the issue again next year. "We're the voice of the seniors in the ALFS, their representatives, and our voice needs to be stronger, and it will be."
The AARP's McRay cautioned that "it will be unfortunate if it takes another travesty or travesties to get something done."

Christmas Eve

Christmas Season Procrastination
People often mention that Rachel and I look a lot alike. I think it's sweet that my little girl looks like me when I was little. I realize it will probably not always be true so I enjoy it now.

Don't get shocked
The energy in our house is downright electric. I can't say I remember having things so keyed up before (as a parent) so early in the week. Since Sunday the kids have been absolutely giddy. The packages continue to arrive from our beloved family and Amazon. Treats are being delivered from our friends and neighbors. All the while we're baking and wrapping up a storm. It's really quite exciting. I'm hoping when Christmas arrives we don't all feel disappointed...but of course that's just silly because we've never been disappointed.
Rachel is a little skeptical of this guy. But she has asked for a swimming baby.
Dave has this whole week off (again? you might say, yes, again!). We love to have him here for all the merrymaking, plus the new skate park is officially open. That may be adding to the giddiness. He is IN LOVE with Team Pain's self-proclaimed "masterpiece".
Here we are at the grand opening ceremony on December 13. Sort of a belated birthday present to Dave from the city of Colorado Springs. Happy day.
We painted our ceramic ornaments yesterday and it was great fun. As the kids get older they appreciate more of the traditions we keep and it makes it even more special.
The favorite tradition by far though is "promises". At the start of the month I fill an advent calendar's pockets with promises of things to do or allow for that day. It takes a bit of planning and commitment in the execution but it is the kids' favorite thing in December. I try to promise things that I would like us to do anyway, like ceramics or gingerbread houses or driving to see the lights. This year's favorite promise was a trip to the grocery store where the kids could pick out 5 items each. The boys got their own cart and a spending limit. It was way better than when I have taken them in the past (this summer) and they stay with me and ask for things every ten seconds. They got to see how much their junk really costs, make some careful choices and have fun. Promises make the whole month a delight. (I have a story that goes along with the whole concept, from my mom, if anyone wants a copy.)
Oh, the love and anticipation! Electric.

We Celebrate
In December we celebrate Dave's birthday and Jake's birthday. We also celebrate Dave's dad's birthday and my nephew's birthday and my sister's birthday. Though we don't do much to SHOW our celebration to our out-of-town loved ones we celebrate with prayers and thanksgiving and many happy thoughts sent their way. We know it's not the same as a fancy card or gift, but it's what we offer.

Renaissance Man
To honor Dave on his birthday I want to write about how terrific and diverse he is...he digs, gardens, composts, clears trees and their stumps, chops firewood, moves boulders, knows how to make me feel warm all over, pulls frontside airs, kills mice, cooks delicious Chicken Tikka Masala(and a lot of other things), researches and invests in stocks, helps with homework, plays with "a good doggie", gives amazing, thoughtful gifts, runs, swims, cleans(mostly just dishes, but what would I do if he did everything?), plays the guitar, oh, and he saves lives.

The winners of the 2011 Miss Magazine gravure idol competition were revealed on Sunday. This year, the grand prize went to 18-year-old Eto Misa, while the semi-grand prize went to 17-year-old Ayano Mika.

The other two titles presented this year were the usual Miss Weekly Shonen Magazine and Miss Young Magazine. The former was given to Akizuki Mika (17), and the latter was given to Asakura Yuma (17).
Approximately 15,000 young women applied for this year's competition.
The four Miss Magazine winners will release their first DVD together on September 14. It was also announced that they will appear in the drama series "Motto Atsui zo!

Corà\'s plywood panels are used in: furniture, packing, ship-building, coach-building, flooring foundations and supports, etc., and available for delivery direct from the docks or in small quantities from the warehouse.
The Wood reassembled into thin layers was first employed by the Egyptians and then the Romans. Thus, plywoods and multiply panels have been known from ancient times and it is well recognized that their durability depends on various factors, one of which being the species of wood. Increased durability results from using selected wood types, or using the right chemical protection treatment.
One of the most important physical properties of plywood is the volume mass that depends on the percentage of adhesive used to glue the layers together and on the pressure exerted by the press planes during assemby. Generally, the volume mass of the plywood is higher than that of wood it is composed of.

Favorite Young Adult Novels by Kim Askew and Amy Helmes
Top Picks from YA Bloggers in the Know, #7
By Nicki Richesin, The Children's Book Review
Published: October 10, 2012
We are excited to have two rising stars in the YA world, authors Kim Askew and Amy Helmes of the Twisted Lit series, visiting The Children's Book Review today. We've been reading their clever blog Romancing the Tome (all for the love of the literary adaptation!) for years. Their irresistible debut novel Tempestuous will land in bookstores this December and Exposure will follow in January.
Rather than report which novels they're most anticipating reading, we asked them to describe which books inspired them from their adolescence ( FYI: The Twelve by Justin Cronin will be available on October 16). A big thank-you to Kim and Amy for sharing some of their their favorite YA books with us. We can assure you reading the surprising adventures of their richly drawn heroines, Miranda Prospero and Skye Kingston, in the Twisted Lit series is nothing short of thrilling!

The Baltimore Playwrights Festival Announces Play-Reading Marathon, 2/9
The Baltimore Playwrights Festival (www.baltplayfest.org) continues its Thirty-Second Season with a play-reading marathon on Saturday, February 9, 2013, at The Audrey Herman Spotlighters Theatre (www.spotlighters.org), 817 Saint Paul Street, Baltimore, MD 21202, 410-752-1225. Starting at 11:00 a.m., plays to be read are Unprotected, by Amy Bernstein, followed at 1:00 p.m. by Not Another Damn Coming of Age Story, by Sharon Goldner, and at 3:00 p.m. by The Bra Plays, by Rosemary Frisino Toohey. After each reading there will be a discussion of the script with the playwright, director and actors. The event is free, and the general public is encouraged to attend.
Unprotected, by Amy Bernstein, is a raw look at the history we've lived, and have yet to live, through a particular lens, namely, what happens to women living with unwanted pregnancies. Let's be real: it isn't pretty. America's history on this issue isn't pretty. And nobody within orbit of a woman undergoing this struggle emerges unaffected. Just ask Rosie. And Roseann. And Rosina.
Amy Bernstein calls herself an emerging playwright in mid-life, which means her lifespan is approximately 28 times longer than the time she's been writing for the theater (I dare you to figure that out). In her very short theatrical lifespan, Amy has had a number of 10-minute plays produced or read in New York City; Baltimore and Chestertown, MD; Washington, D.C., and Lexington, KY. Her short works have been produced at local theater and arts festivals around town. She was selected to participate in the Association for Theatre in Higher Education intensive playwrighting workshop in 2011. This is her second reading as part of the Baltimore Playwrights Festival. Amy is a member of the Playwrights Group of Baltimore and the Dramatists Guild.
Not Another Damn Coming of Age Story, by Sharon Goldner, takes place in a 1970s fifth grade classroom, where Siobhan Silverman declares her love for Alan Shapiro. It is, of course, doomed from the start because in the hierarchy of popular kids, Alan reigns king, and Siobhan is non-existent. Being in the throes of love can make a person do strange things, and this is no different for ten year old Siobhan who chides any adult who would be callous enough to dismiss her love for Alan as merely a crush ... "our love can flatten us out just like yours can you." In a banquet hall sporting a high school 30 year reunion, Siobhan and Alan meet up again, and with the popularity field leveled, the two can have an earnest talk about the years behind them, and what's in store for the future. They say people change. Or do they?

Memory Monday: Fifth and Sixth Grades
Mr. Evans, my fifth grade teacher, was my first male teacher. He had the unenviable job of keeping the boy-girl turmoil under control, but his laid-back personality helped to calm the turbulent waters. Being laid back did not mean that Mr. Evans did not exercise discipline, however. The first of the two events from fifth grade that stand out in my memory was the time Mr. Evans made me rewrite a paper I had written in backhand to change it to right-slanted cursive. I'm glad he made me do that and cannot fathom why I started writing that way; it must have been a 5th-grade-girl fad. The other big event was state reports. I got Hawaii, but only after I persuaded another kid to trade it to me in exchange for Oregon.
Sixth grade found most of us a little more comfortable with the opposite sex and a little calmer. Intellectual, artistic, and athletic interests were starting to become more important for most of us. Some of us went to what we called "Special Class," also known as the "Gifted and Talented Program." This was what was referred to as a "pull-out" program; we attended once a week while our regular classes were doing something else. The teacher was my regular sixth grade teacher, Miss Miller. Our regular class must have had a substitute or perhaps doubled up with one of the other classes during this hour or two.
There were two "good" teachers and two "bad" teachers in sixth grade at Warm Springs Elementary School. Miss Miller was one of the "good" ones and was able to come up with activities that would keep our restless minds active. The top pick for sixth grade teachers, however, was Mr. Rogers. He had "the gift." He could inspire any slacker, tame any problem student, and make any subject interesting. Miss Miller's students got to spend an hour a week with Mr. Rogers for music class while his students went to Miss Miller for art class. If I remember correctly, Mr. Rogers was also a professional musician. We learned to read music in his class and we even got to try our hands at composing music. One day the news flew around school that a rock had been thrown through a window of Mr. Rogers' house. Because Mr. Rogers and his family were black, we speculated on whether the incident was racially motivated; just two years before, we had been shaken into an awareness of national events by the assassination of President Kennedy. Our world was expanding, whether we wanted it to or not.

I love your Memory Monday posts.ReplyDelete
They bring back so many memories some good some not so good.
I remember the state reports in 5th grade. We did 2 reports. All girls did Hawaii and all boys did Alaska, then we picked a state. Mine was on Georgia. I think my mom still has my folders somewhere.
My memories of elementary school are all pretty good. I did have one teacher that stands out in my mind because she embarrassed me in front of the class during math class. Imagine remembering it for this many years....it must have been quite an embarrassment! I have never been very good in math and she did not help build any confidence in the subject. Thankfully, she was the only rotten apple in that barrel of teachers.ReplyDelete
Greta-I loved this-you described the 5th-6th grade drama/angst so well. My girls are in 7th this year but as they went through 5th and 6th grade I was reminded of so many things that were similar to my own time spent at that age.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Tipper. 7th grade is not so easy, either. My husband said so every day when he taught 7th grade Sunday school.ReplyDelete

S is for Scutage
Berkshire Records Office Receptionist (BROR):What are you looking for?
Wendy: Um….history… …nothing in particular… …just browsing…. …um…….what have you got that's good?
BROR: We've got lots of maps, even before the Ordnance Survey started
Wendy: Oh! that sounds good, I like maps, I'll look at the maps
Large filing cabinates skirt the windows of the records office. Microfiche's mount rows of dustless, grey, formica tables against the windowless walls. A large table holds the map-drawers down in the middle of the room. Can you tell I was getting a bit excited by it all?
At University in 1983 we had to book time using one of the 3 Microfiche machines – grubbied from thousands of sparingly washed students fingers. Here there are sparkling rows of them, unused! My gleeful gawping was quickly interrupted
BRO librarian: what are you looking for?
Wendy: I'd like to just browse, your colleague suggested maps… ….Reading's Quaker history is interesting too…
The librarian looked disconcerted, I was getting disconcerted. He latched onto my Quaker suggestion and pointed me to the local records subject index filing cabinates. The drawer made a pleasing, heavy, swish sound as he opened it. He suggested looking under "Q" for Quakers or "S" for Society of friends. No hint of my ancient PhD on finding files in electronic filing systems had seeped into this librarians awareness. I smiled and resisted the urge to raise his awareness.
(The sound of my brain spasming within my cranium confines)
Index cards. Hand-typed in courier-font. Lined cards where the typing didn't sit on the lines. Cards where one card is the index for multiple items – so it's expensive to add new stuff in the right order. Thrilling! The colour returned to my face with a big smile. I didn't need to find anything, this card system was enough to keep me happy for hours, days, possibly years if they don't upgrade it. I wonder if they have any part time or volunteer jobs…..
The librarian noticed my smile and politely took his leave to help another lady, who was clutching a handful of cards. I tucked into the "S"s – Settlement, Scutage, Sheriffs, Slavery, Suffragettes…
The Librarian returned about an hour later. My hands still deep in the yellowing index cards
BRO librarian: are you doing ok?
Wendy: Oh yes! YES! I've found out lots of lovely stuff. I'd never heard of Scutage, Quietus or Lugg before now!
He beamed a lovely smile and grew quietly animated as he showed me how to use the index card reference numbers to track down the physical location of an item in a herd of big folders. To practice I picked a card titled "Services, Personal" where in 1396 a married couple had sold themselves in return for the things they needed to live – a home and a place to keep their sheep
The afternoon slip-slided away on paper cards labelled with "S"

Get Proactive
Before you're ever put in the position of losing your phone, we recommend taking the time to use good security practices, now:
- Put in a password or pin code prompt. This is typically available in the settings for your smartphone. Remember, alphanumeric passwords are better - and ensure the time for reprompt is no more than a few minutes, if not immediate.
- Keep your apps up to date. Updates to apps can contain important security updates - don't delay in approving them.
- Know the apps you're downloading. If you're not sure about the maker of an app, do your research. Don't share your personal information with apps that you can't verify.
- Enable a device recovery service. This will help you track your device should you lose it, and may help you catch the person responsible if a device is stolen. Lifehacker recommends Prey.
- Set pin code reprompts and autologoff settings in your LastPass apps. These can be found in the Preferences menu of our mobile apps, and will ensure someone cannot easily access your stored LastPass data.
- Use multifactor authentication. Even if you've set your mobile device as "trusted" in your LastPass settings, you can easily revoke access later if needed.
- Back up your data. Ensure you've synced your contacts, photos, and other information so that you have copies of it should your device break or be lost.
- Store sensitive data in LastPass secure notes, not in an unprotected notes app. If you need to record sensitive information on the go, just add a note to LastPass, where you can easily access it, but where the data is protected by a master password, and your pin codes prompts.
Recovering From the Lost Phone
Time is critical when recovering from a lost or stolen device. The sooner you can take action, the better you can protect your data and perhaps even recover your device.
- Activate your lost phone features. If you enabled Find My iPhone, Prey, or another similar service, follow their steps to active the lost device features.
- Update passwords. Update the passwords for Gmail, Facebook, and other services whose accounts are syncing to apps on your mobile device. Once you update the password, they cannot be synced, or even used in some cases, without re-authenticating with the new password.
- Kill active sessions. In LastPass, open the LastPass browser icon menu, and in the Tools sub-menu select the "other sessions" option. This page will show any active sessions for your account. Kill all sessions that are not in use.
- Remotely wipe data. If you are using iCloud, Google Sync, or another service that allows you to remotely wipe data, you should do so after ensuring you've backed up all data possible.
Have a question you'd like to see answered by the LastPass team in a blog post? Let us know in comments or send us a note at marketing[at]lastpass.com. If we choose your question, you'll get a Tshirt!

23 Kan. App. 2d 193
No. 75,013
ALAN FEHLHAFER, Appellee, v. STATE OF KANSAS, Appellant.
1. K.S.A. 60-602, which determines county venue for certain causes of action, is construed and applied.
2. The Kansas Department of Revenue has the sole authority to suspend a driver's license after a DUI conviction. K.S.A. 8-1014(b). In such a suspension of license proceeding, venue is proper in Shawnee County, where the official action of the Kansas Department of Revenue is taken.
3. A county prosecutor has no authority to enter a plea agreement which waives a sanction solely within the authority of the Kansas Department of Revenue.
4. Under the facts of this case, the Kansas Department of Revenue was not bound by the plea agreement entered into by a prosecutor who had no authority to enter an agreement in which the prosecutor promised not to suspend defendant's driver's license in return for defendant's no contest plea to a DUI charge.
Appeal from Leavenworth District Court; DAVID J. KING, judge. Opinion filed December 13, 1996. Reversed.
Brian Cox, of legal services division, Kansas Department of Revenue, for appellant.
No appearance by appellee.
Before ELLIOTT, P.J., LEWIS and PIERRON, JJ.
ELLIOTT, J.: The Kansas Department of Revenue (KDR) suspended the driving privileges of Alan Fehlhafer due to his second DUI conviction. Fehlhafer filed a chapter 60 suit to enjoin the suspension, alleging it violated his plea agreement. The trial court, relying on Dickerson v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 253 Kan. 843, 863 P.2d 364 (1993), ruled in Fehlhafer's favor.
KDR appeals and we reverse.
The facts are not disputed. Fehlhafer pled no contest to the DUI charge pursuant to a plea agreement in which the prosecutor promised that Fehlhafer's driving privileges would not be suspended; the trial court approved the plea agreement.
Fehlhafer filed an action in Leavenworth County to enjoin KDR's suspension of his driving privileges. KDR moved to dismiss or to transfer venue to Shawnee County. The trial court denied the motion. At trial, the assistant county attorney who entered into the plea agreement testified he knew KDR had authority to suspend a license, but believed he had authority to bargain away that suspension.
The trial court ultimately ruled that while the prosecutor should not have bargained away the suspension, KDR was nonetheless bound by the plea agreement under Dickerson.
K.S.A. 60-602 governs venue in this case. The statute provides:
"Actions for the following causes must be brought in the county in
which the cause, or some part thereof arose:
. . . .
"(2) An action against a public officer for an act done or threatened to be done by such officer by virtue or under color of his or her office, or for neglect of his or her official duties."
In Huerter v. Hassig, 175 Kan. 781, 267 P.2d 532 (1954), the sole issue was whether venue was proper in Nemaha County (where suit was filed) or in Pratt County, where the official action of the fish and game commission was taken. The court held that venue was proper in Pratt County, where the official action of the commission was taken. 175 Kan. at 785.
In Alliance Life Ins. Co. v. Ulysses Volunteer Fireman's Relief Ass'n, 215 Kan. 937, 939, 529 P.2d 171 (1974), the court stated:
|"We take it as well settled . . . that the mere 'making' of a contract, standing alone, does not give rise to a cause of action; there must in addition be a breach. [Citations omitted.] . . . [T]he place of making a contract is irrelevant to the issue of where a cause of action arises for its breach; the controlling place is that of the breach, i.e., the place where the obligor failed to fulfill his obligation."
In the present case, while the plea agreement was made in Leavenworth County, the alleged breach--the suspension of Fehlhafer's license--occurred in Shawnee County. Furthermore, the suspension of the license was the only official action with which plaintiff took issue. Applying Huerter and Alliance, venue was proper in Shawnee County and not Leavenworth County.
The remaining question is whether we can deem the trial court's venue ruling as harmless error and address the merits of KDR's appeal. In Alliance, the court proceeded to the merits of the appeal, holding that "[a]lthough a party's right to litigate in a proper forum is a valuable one, the law does not require pointless redetermination of legal issues where the results may be readily foreseen." 215 Kan. at 942.
KDR asks that we not address the merits. Instead, we will address only the merits of the appeal dealing with the enforceability of the plea agreement.
The trial court ruled that under Dickerson, KDR was bound by the plea agreement, even though the prosecutor never should have entered into the agreement. The issue in Dickerson was whether a plea agreement in a criminal drug case collaterally estopped a later drug tax proceeding filed by KDR. The enjoining of KDR from attempting to collect the tax was affirmed by this court and by the Supreme Court. 253 Kan. at 844.
The Dickerson court explained:
|"Dickerson negotiated the tax and fine with an agent of the State, the Crawford County Attorney. The plea agreement was implemented by the State through the district court judge. The State, as embodied in the Director of Taxation, cannot now vary the terms of the prior agreement and court order." 253 Kan. at 850.
However, the Dickerson court also stated in clear terms that the Director of Taxation had the sole authority to make drug tax assessments and prosecutors and district courts should not enter into or accept such plea agreements. 253 Kan. at 853, 855.
Similarly, by statute, KDR has the sole authority to suspend a driver's license after a DUI conviction. K.S.A. 8-1014(b). And if KDR has the sole authority to suspend a driver's license, then the prosecutor simply has no authority under Dickerson to waive that suspension as part of a plea agreement. Further, a license suspension is a civil sanction which is remedial and not punitive in nature. State v. Mertz, 258 Kan. 745, 752, 761, 907 P.2d 847 (1995).
Like other civil sanctions, license suspensions are handled by KDR, while criminal sanctions for DUI are handled by a prosecutor. See Dickerson, 253 Kan. at 852.
In our view, Dickerson clearly gave notice that the type of plea agreement here involved was improper and was not to be attempted again. In effect, the Dickerson court told all interested parties to go forward, but sin no more. The Dickerson court said: "Given the context of the situation, Dickerson has no reason to believe that the prosecutor and court could not determine his fine." 253 Kan. at 852.
Here, the trial court might have been misled by a discussion of an unpublished opinion of this court that did not exist. But defense counsel, the prosecutor, and the trial court should have known that, under Dickerson, the prosecutor lacked authority to make the plea agreement he made. We hold that Fehlhafer could not claim to have had any reasonable expectation that the prosecutor had the authority to waive his driver's license suspension.
As we read Dickerson, our Supreme Court clearly told the State of Kansas that plea agreements made by prosecutors who have no authority to make them would not be tolerated and would not be enforced in the future.
The Leavenworth County prosecutor had no authority to enter into the plea agreement with Fehlhafer, and the trial court should not have enforced it. KDR has the sole authority to suspend a driver's license following a DUI conviction and is not bound by the plea agreement.
Since the prosecutor had no authority to enter the plea agreement, it should be set aside; the DUI charge should be reinstated, and the case should proceed as if the plea agreement had not been made.

We're very happy to finally be able to unveil Champ Man: All-Stars to the world!
YouTube Trailer
You can get it on Android and iOS right now, right here:
Android: http://bit.ly/CMAll-Stars-Android
iOS: http://bit.ly/CMAll-Stars-iOS
Champ Man: All-Stars is quite different to the regular numbered Champ Man games you've come to expect over the years and is an entirely online experience. The majority of Champ Man: All-Stars matches will be played against other human players, though there are also some options for playing against AI controlled teams from around the globe.
Where numbered Champ Man games (2010, 14, 15 etc.) are about managing a real world club and progressing through set leagues and cups with it, Champ Man All-Stars is all about managing your very own dream team and ultimately seeing how you as a football manager stack up against others. You're able to name your team and stadium and also choose it's colours and design it's kit and badge.
There's more in All-Stars than is possible to effectively sum up in an announcement forum post, but I've written a longer blog post here and have also created a manual of sorts with some likely FAQs here.
Thanks to the online nature of Champ Man: All-Stars, running regular community competitions will also be a lot easier and you can look forward to an imminent return of the weekend prediction challenge - except this time you'll be able to earn points to redeem in-game rewards each time you play!
Let us know what you think of All-Stars! I, of course, will be around to answer any questions or comments you may have.
Note: We do understand that having a regular internet connection via a mobile device can be tricky for some fans and are therefore happy to let you know that we're currently also working on Champ Man 16, a direct and completely offline follow up to Champ Man 15. We plan to release Champ Man 16 later this year but don't have any further on this for you just yet.

walk me through the answers of these questions plz:
1-how did the first male and female human beings appeared?
2-is there moses, jesus, mohammed _peace be upon him_??
3-why are we on earth ? what is the purpose of living??
Views: 2465
i'm not talking about a suffering slave .. i'm talking about a brain washed slave who don't use his mind to know the truth . i'm talking about the exact slave u r talking about.
a "slave" who is sentenced by death if he decided to think and ask questions.
u don't know the conditions fulfilled to kill someone who left islam ? let me tell u.
They capture him, isolate him, tell him that he has 3 days to make up his mind and choose between death and Islam , if he insists he dies.
these r the conditions put by your marshal and told u soldiers to follow ..don't u read your Quran?? don't you hear your clerics preaching?
apparently u don't know anything about Islam .. u r defending what "u think" it is and what "it really is" ?
suppose he has 3 days or 3 hours or 3 years, suppose you find it NOT enough time , suppose you find it cruel ...etc does this change the orders originator ? NO it doesnt . any king in the past ( or may be today ) can have someone executed and can have someone appointed as his prime minister, 2 different orders but the originator is the same , the 2 orders will be done including the execution . does the king remain the king .yes
dont look at the details , look at the starting point , is the originator GOD or NO GOD ?
u didn't get it, did u?
That what u claim "god" doesn't make any sense and is full of contradictions.
religion is man made and its full of mistakes..
there is no starting point and end point .. religion and the concept of "God" is a whole package ,u take it all or leave it all.. u can't believe the nice bed time stories leaving the other terrible things and tell me to ignore the details.
these details are ur quran .. these dtails are what u say "god's word" .. these details are what u say to be"his message to us"?
if these details don't make any sense .. then the whole idea is not logic. how can i ignore it when it is what u proclaim to be his miracle ? duh!
Your entire post makes little sense, but the answer at least, is clear - NO GOD!
I am REALLY glad you could join us Marvel - you bring an insight into the Muslim world to this board that we Westerners simply cannot provide. You would be an asset on any board, but especially here. Thanks for coming.
thank u very much .. really appreciate it :D:D
My parents 'created' me, but they do not OWN me! I love my parents, I help my parents. If I were a slave to them, that is normally called 'child abuse'!
RE: "what is the answer to life, universe and everything?" - according to the late, great Douglas Adams, it's "42."
1. There was no "first" human. Read up on evolution, and you can get a much better answer than anyone here could give you in a comment.
2. There is no evidence for Moses, very little for Jesus, and Mohammed. Were there people with said names during that time, quite possibly. Did they wander the desert for 40 years, rise from the dead, and fly off to heaven? No.
3. a. We are on Earth because this planet happens to be suitable for life to evolve the way it did. Beyond that, we don't know why we are here. Does there need to be a reason why?
b. The purpose of living is whatever you want it to be. If you want to be a pessimist about it, the purpose of living is to die. But if you want to be optimistic, it's whatever you want it to be. We hope that what you want is to be a good human being, caring, loving and respectful to the rest of the world, but it's your choice. That is the purpose. To live however you see fit, and accept the consequences of your actions.
Well said, Milos.
you can find all of your questions's answers here :)

sbd : Backtrack 5: Maintaining Access: OS Backdoors: sbd
The sbd command is a netcat clone that offers decent encryption, allows for command execution, and will install on Linux or Windows. You are likely aware of netcat and all of the different ways you can use it including reverse shells, port scanning, etc. The sbd command is a great tool for opening up protected listeners or as noted in the Backtrack Linux menu for maintaining access to servers on compromised networks. Since it is likely you are familiar with nc or netcat below I go into setting up a reverse shell using a secret key between the listener and the connecting client.

A letter from Democrats
Democratic lawmakers left for their summer recess this weekend worried about the midterm elections and despondent over President Barack Obama.
Congressional Republicans were torn asunder by internecine warfare, but there also was palpable anxiety among Democrats. Based on conversations with a dozen top Democrats, mostly members, here's what they might write in a private letter to Obama:
Dear Mr. President,
We write this in a constructive spirit, knowing you've been dealt a difficult hand in foreign policy and face legislative gridlock at home. Yet without significant changes, the next three months could be perilous for you and our party.
First, erase the F-word – fatalism – from your rhetoric and mind-set. Too often, what you convey is that we're gripped by political paralysis at home and at the mercy of irrational acts overseas.
We share your frustration. But fatalism isn't an option for the leader of the free world.
Moreover, this mind-set lets congressional Republicans off the hook. Make them accountable – make them respond to your initiatives, not the other way around.
A painful illustration of this is immigration. Republicans have neutralized the issue, for now, by blaming you for the congressional stalemate and for creating a crisis as undocumented children stream across the border. The reality is that the Senate-passed, bipartisan immigration bill would get a majority in the House today, but Republican leaders, scared of the right-wing base, won't permit a vote.
Yes, this influx of kids from Latin America is a human tragedy, but the number of illegal border crossings is only a fraction of what it was a decade ago, under a Republican president. And spending on border control has increased more than 50 percent during your tenure.
You drew some of these lines at Friday's news conference. How many voters know this?
By all means, use an executive order to give work permits to, and avoid deportation of, the parents of those young undocumented "Dreamers." Call it family values. The Republicans will go berserk, but the more vitriolic they get, the greater the probable voter backlash in November.
Your congressional relations have improved slightly, though we know not to expect golf outings or trips to Camp David.
We get upset, however, when – as often happens – the policy is right but carried out in the worst way. Witness the swap for American prisoner Bowe Bergdahl, who was being held by the Taliban. You had to get him out, and the release of prisoners from Guantanamo was the only way. The photo op with his parents was a bad idea. You couldn't give Congress the 30-day notice required, but you should have briefed Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Mike Rogers, the heads of the Intelligence committees, as well as Sen. John McCain, the night before the exchange.
And you went to Texas for a fundraiser and didn't stop to visit the border because, your aides said, you don't do photo ops. What about the Thanksgiving turkey? The White House always stages events; the premium should be on trying to stay presidential.
On the big issues, there's good news on the economy. Trumpet it. Too many people are still struggling, but your ambivalence only fuels unjustified public pessimism.
On foreign policy, it seems there are crises everywhere that don't have a lot to do with U.S. policies. We understand why you're intervention-shy: Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya offer sobering lessons on the limits of American power. But don't just react to Russian President Vladimir Putin, take the offensive against him more.
Mr. President, you still have the biggest megaphone in the world and 900 days left to use it. Seize every one. Good luck. We hope we're there with you.

Industry is on the threshold of the fourth industrial revolution, as digitalization now follows after the automation of production. The goals are to increase productivity and efficiency, speed, and quality. In this way, companies can remain competitive on the path to the future of industry.
Industry is playing an increasingly important role worldwide. It is considered a driver for innovation, growth, and social stability. At the same time, however, competition is growing more intense. Customers demand new, high-quality products and customized offerings at ever shorter time intervals. In addition, it is necessary to continually increase productivity. And only those who can make do with less energy and fewer resources will be able to cope with the growing cost pressure.
These challenges can be overcome. The solution lies in merging the virtual and real production world, in innovative software, and in automation and drive technologies as well as services. These will reduce time to market, make production more efficient and flexible – and help industrial companies retain their competitive edge.
Industry software merges the real world with the virtual world. This makes production faster, more flexible, more productive, and helps companies remain competitive.
From the cost factor to the success factor – using expert knowledge, technologies, services, and industry expertise to achieve the best possible resource efficiency.
Industrial integration increases productivity, efficiency, and flexibility throughout the product development and production process.

SANTA ANA – A 22-year-old man suspected of stabbing another man who had asked him to leave a Santa Ana apartment was arrested Wednesday afternoon, police said.
Jacob Davis was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the stabbing of an unnamed 20-year-old man who remained in critical condition Wednesday afternoon, Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
Investigators believe Davis arrived at the stabbing victim's residence in the 600 block of West Third Street about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Davis, who police say was "extremely intoxicated," was reportedly trying to contact a woman who was staying at the apartment.
"They had some type of dating relationship," Bertagna said.
Davis was scaring the woman, Bertagna said, causing the other man to intervene and ask him to leave. Police allege Davis responded by grabbing a knife and stabbing the man multiple times in the torso then fleeing from the apartment on foot.
Homicide detectives Wednesday morning identified Davis as a suspect and learned that he was in Orange, Bertagna said.
The detectives took Davis into custody, interviewed him, then arrested him based on evidence collected at the apartment, information from witnesses and his own statements, Bertagna said.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the weapon has been recovered.
Bertagna said Davis, the other man and the woman were the only ones in the apartment at the time of the confrontation. Another female roommate was reportedly not home when the stabbing took place.
Orange County Superior Court records show a man with the same name and birth date as Davis pleaded guilty to misdemeanor resisting arrest and battery against a peace officer charges in 2011 and felony vandalism charges in 2010.
Davis was being held in lieu of $500,000 bail, police said.

The alleged drunk driver whose car slammed into a pickup Wednesday evening — killing a 48-year-old Worcester man — is due to make his first court appearance next Wednesday.
Adam Bard, 28, of 48 Water St., faces a series of charges in connection with the crash that claimed the life of Michael Despin.
Mr. Bard remained hospitalized today
Acording to a spokesman for District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr., Mr. Bard will remain held without bail until his case goes to court for a pretrial conference. His lawyer, Peter L. Ettenberg, waived Mr. Bard's arraignment, said Timothy Connolly, spokesman for the DA.
Mr. Despin was killed late Wednesday when his pickup collided with a car driven by Mr. Bard at Franklin and Grafton streets. Police allege that Mr. Bard was drunk when his Audi struck the pickup. Mr. Bard is charged with motor vehicle homicide, drunken driving and driving to endanger, among other charges.

In an unpublished, autobiographical essay written around the time of World War I, Herbert Hoover declared: "There is little importance to men's lives except the accomplishments they leave to posterity." It is in "the origination or administration of tangible institutions or constructive works" that men's contributions can best be measured. "When all is said and done," he asserted, "accomplishment is all that counts."
One of Hoover's supreme accomplishments in his long and productive life was the creation and upbuilding of the "tangible institution" known today as the Hoover Institution. Founded in 1919 and housed at Stanford University, the Hoover War Collection (as it was initially called) grew quickly into what was known for years as the Hoover War Library: an immense and invaluable archive of historic manuscripts, newspapers, photographs, books, governmental records, and "fugitive documents" bearing upon the Great War of 1914–1918 and its aftermath. Under Hoover's indefatigable, hands-on leadership, the repository became, in his words, "the most important [such] collection" in the world.
Hoover never wanted his war library to be a mere "packrat operation" or "dead storage of documents." Instead, he envisaged it as the nucleus of a dynamic "research institution upon the most vital of all human questions—War, Revolution and Peace."
Yet authoritative research cannot proceed without data. Scholars cannot definitively probe the past without access to every possible scrap of crucial evidence that the past leaves behind. Hoover recognized this, and—along with numerous associates and agents—went on amassing, from around the world, historical treasures that would shed light upon the often tragic course of the twentieth century.
Of special interest to Hoover were his institution's extensive holdings of propaganda used by governments as instruments of modern warfare. During World War I, as an acclaimed humanitarian who saved millions of European civilians from starvation, he had watched as the belligerent nations of Europe attempted to manipulate American public opinion in their favor. For the first time in human history, he later wrote, war propaganda became a "major strategy of war." Fascinated and appalled, he collected as much of this material as he could for his library on the campus of his alma mater.
On June 20, 1941, in ceremonies at Stanford University, Hoover dedicated the 285-foot-high tower that would hold his peerless cache of information on war, revolution, and peace. In his remarks he expressed hope that the "voice of experience" embedded in his vast trove would induce humankind to "stop, look and listen" and turn to the ways of peace.
Even as he spoke, another global conflagration was raging around him. Just a few months later, the United States was drawn in. In this war, too, propaganda would be a formidable weapon. During the remainder of World War II, Hoover gathered "fugitive material" on the new conflict and prepared for a monumental, postwar collecting drive that would take him and his allies to distant lands in search of precious documentation on the most stupendous war ever fought. As the guns fell silent, he resumed his worldwide quest for "living history"—and never stopped as long as he lived.
Today the Hoover Institution holds the fruits of Hoover's prodigious labors—and of those of his colleagues and successors: thousands of manuscript collections and literally millions of documents and other historical artifacts. Among these irreplaceable treasures are the items on display in this exhibit. They are a small but superb selection of the more than 100,000 posters and other propaganda materials preserved in the Institution's vaults.
The exhibit reminds us that modern wars are increasingly ideological struggles in which hearts and minds (as well as territory and natural resources) are targets. It reminds us also that the causes for which nations fight can be either noble or hideous.
This fine exhibit represents the work of many talented and devoted people. Ultimately, it was made possible by the vision, generosity, and resourcefulness, decades ago, of Herbert Hoover. The institution at Stanford that bears his name "is probably my major contribution to American life," he wrote in 1959. Its existence is a testament to his unwavering faith in the importance of "constructive works"—to our lasting benefit.

Passfolio by Miruna Macri
A passport allows you access to different countries, and hopefully leaving it around will give Miruna Macri access to a job interview as well.The designer's "passport" is actually her portfolio. The description showcases her resume, and samples of her work can be found as "visas" on various pages. She has deliberately left behind these "passfolios" in her favorite agencies in New York City in a bid to get a job, and we are quite sure that someone will take note of this cool and creative endeavor.

The Fire•Lite MS-2 and MS-2E Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs) bring the latest in microprocessor technology to conventional fire controls. The MS-2 fire alarm control panels compatible with the i³(TM) smoke detectors from System Sensor with drift compensation, maintenance alert, and freeze warning. Automatic synchronization of audio/visual devices with three selections for manufacturer protocol. The Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) protocol can silence audible devices while strobes continue to flash, using a single pair of wires. The MS-2 fire alarm control panels are compatible with conventional input devices such as two- and four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices, tamper switches and other normally-open contact devices. Refer to the Fire•Lite Device Compatibility Document no. 15384 for a complete list of compatible devices. Note: Unless indicated otherwise, the term "MS-2" refers to both MS-2 and MS-2E models.
Firelite Fire Panel Features:
• Two Style B (Class B) Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs).
• One Style Y (Class B) NAC.
• i³(TM) Technology features:
- Drift compensation automatically adjusts detector sensitivity and increases resistance to false alarms caused by dust accumulation.
- Maintenance Alert LEDs (per zone) warn of excessive dirt accumulation, preventing false alarms (meets NFPA 72 requirements).
- Detector sensitivity is automatically measured by the detector, which automatically adjusts its sensitivity back to the factory settings when it becomes more sensitive due to contaminants settling in the chamber.
- Wireless handheld sensitivity meter eliminates the need for voltmeters, magnets, and a physical connection to the detector. The reader displays sensitivity in terms of percent per foot obscuration and provides text status indication.
- Supervisory LED (per zone) provides warning if a detector senses temperature approaching freezing.
- Special test protocol and LED indication allows quick test of all detectors without need for a ladder.
• NAC synchronization features:
- Synchronization of standard ANSI audible signals as required by NFPA 72.
- Synchronization of ADA compliant strobes per NFPA 72.
- Selectable for System Sensor, Wheelock, and Gentex protocols.
- Selective Silence for manual silence of horns while strobes continue to flash on the same NAC.
- Alarm verification selectable for each zone.
- Disable switches provided per zone.
• NAC programmable for:
- Silence Inhibit
- Auto Silence
- Strobe Synchronization
- Selective Silence (horn-strobe mute)
- Temporal or Steady signal
- Silenceable or Nonsilenceable
• Silent or audible Walk Test operation mode commanded from the front keypad, with automatic return-to-normal after one hour of inactivity.
• Each zone may be programmed for supervisory or fire; each zone has separate red and yellow LEDs.
• Disable switches provided for each zone.
• Form-C Alarm and Trouble relays.
• 3.0 amps total usable current.
• Piezo sounder for alarm, trouble, supervisory and maintenance.
• Control buttons:
- ACK (Acknowledge)
- Alarm Silence
- Reset
- Walk Test
- Zone Enable/Disable (one per zone)
• LED indicators:
- Fire Alarm (one per zone)
- Supervisory (one per zone)
- Trouble (one per zone)

- AC Power
- NAC Disable
- Zone Disable
- NAC Fault
- System Trouble
- Power Trouble
- Walk Test
- Alarm Silence
- Earth Fault (on circuit board)
- Battery Fault (on circuit board)
- Charger Fault (on circuit board)
• Optional dress panel.
Firelite Fire Panel Operation:
Activation of a compatible smoke detector or any normally-open fire alarm initiating device activates audible and visual signaling devices, illuminates an indicating LED, sounds the piezo sounder at the FACP, activates the FACP alarm relay and operates an optional module used to notify a remote station or initiate an auxiliary control function.
Sorry we do not offer technical support for this FireLite fire panel because of local codes that come into play specifying who must install fire alarm equipment and where and how it must be installed.
