"@% you" Said Mr. Pete, Always.
We have a total of two office dogs that help make all executive decisions.
One, Nelson Mandela is a sprightly little thing who's positive outlook and stick-fetching skills keep our morale on the ups. The other, Mr. Pete, is not as ...festive ... as the apartheid angel.
But just because Mr. Pete isn't "good" at enthusiasm, doesn't mean that he has no special talents! He has an uncanny ability to not give a single [insert expletive-of-your-choice here] at any given moment. He also knows exactly when to stare at a person's private-parts for a photo-op.
Realistically, Mister Pete serves as an all encompassing balance to the typical antics of a 9-6 office job. While most people are doing keg-stands in their cubicles, Mister Pete has us emotionally chained to our Quickbooks. Productivity thanks you, Sir.

Edward had the support of the powerful Earl of Warwick, known as Warwick the Kingmaker, to whom he was related, but in 1470 he lost this support and also for a short time his throne (to Henry VI). After the defeat of Warwick and Henry in 1471, England had a period of great stability under Edward, who encouraged the development of art, music, etc. as well as the new science of printing. see also Wars of the Rosesjump to other results

'Downton' star's new role: Michelle Dockery Role
Published: July 14, 2015
'Downton' star's new role: Michelle Dockery Role, Downton Abbeystar Michelle Dockery may have found her next starring role. Dockery is set to star in TNT pilot Good Behavior, Variety reports. The drama comes from Wayward Pines creator Chad Hodge, and is based on the Letty Dobesh novels from author Blake Crouch (who also wrote the Wayward Pines book series).
Dockery will play the antihero protagonist, a thief and con artist just out of prison. When she overhears a plot for a hitman to kill a man's wife, she sets out to stop it, and in the process enters into a dicey but tempting relationship with the killer.
Well…it definitely doesn't sound like her last TNT project Funny Or Die role on "Tough Justice," when she had issues letting go of her proper Lady Mary ways.
The project comes as Downton Abbey is wrapping up its six-season run. Back in March executive producer Gareth Neame confirmed the plans to end the show and said at the time, "I think our theory is that it's good to quit while you're ahead… The show is so popular globally, but the danger with this sort of thing is to let them go on forever. The danger is that you run to seven, eight, nine, 10 years. … But I think it's more important to us to make a perfectly formed show, in our opinion, that we bring to an end when we think the timing is right, and that people will love and remember that show for many, many years to come, and not feel that there was any sort of drop-off or we outstayed our welcome."

Cranbourne West
Education institution attending
25% of people in Cranbourne West attended an educational institution in 2011.
The share of Cranbourne West's population attending educational institutions reflects the age structure of the population, as it is influenced by the number of children attending school; proximity to tertiary education, which can mean young adults leaving home to be nearer to educational facilities and; the degree to which people are seeking out educational opportunities in adulthood, especially in their late teens and early twenties.
This data is often combined with Age Structure to identify areas with significant university student populations.
Derived from the Census question:
'What type of educational institution is the person attending?'
Total population

Congrats on the new gun! I've been thinking about grabbing one too. What holster are you using/plan to use with the LCR?

Yesterday I concluded my search for an EDC snubbie when I grabbed a .38 LCR from my LGS. They just got them in and they were asking $100 under MSRP. I shot it at the local range last night and really enjoyed it. Very manageable for its size and weight. I carried it all day today and absolutely loved it. I have been carrying a full size 9mm since I got my CCW, so it was nice to shave 3/4 pound from my belt. It is a very comfortable carry gun.
In case you can't tell, I'm pretty happy with it!
Congrats on the new gun! I've been thinking about grabbing one too. What holster are you using/plan to use with the LCR?
I've been carrying my LCR .38 special for about a month now and I love it. Joy to carry and a joy to shoot.
Using a leather IWB holster from Talon Training. They make an LCR specific holster.
H&K speed loader in my pocket for a reload. I'd like to try speed strips, once I find some.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
The LCR is a great gun and I think it is more comfortable to shoot than a J frame. Take a look at Remora Holsters # 8RCH fits the LCR. Enjoy your Ruger.
I too love my LCR. Welcome to the club!
Glad your liking your LCR. I'm using a IWB by talon training group that works out pretty well, also a #4 uncle mikes pocket holster on occasion. I have found that a speed strip is more comfortable in my pocket than a speed loader
Great buy !!!! I got my lcr last week but finding a holster that fits with the lasermax centerfire is proving to be a challenge

Your points are shallow... my points are Hollow....
Good choice! I have been debating on getting either a LCR or S&W J-frame for the wife who recently got her CWP (of course I may have to borrow it).
I wish i had the money to buy one in every caliber offered. They do seem highly reliable (and wife friendly).
I sold my J-frame many years ago. I'm seriously considering an LCR to "replace" it.

Gun free zones
are safe havens-
I switched to an LCR as my EDC back in December. I shot it regularly and had about 300 rounds through it up to about three weeks ago - and then, with one round left in the third cylinder full of the day, the gun went 'click' instead of 'bang'. It locked up solid, and I had to take it completely apart to get that last live round out. As I took it apart, the transfer bar fell out - in two pieces. Next day I called Ruger, and I've got to say they are absolutely first class on customer support. Told the rep what had happened, what I had to do to get the live round out, and she sent me a UPS label within 20 minutes. Off it went, and exactly 10 days from the time I dropped it off at the UPS store I had it back. New transfer bar, and a new cylinder release spring. Do not know if the spring was related to the breakage, but I've had it back to the range twice and it seems to function just fine. I'm a bit nervous about the problem, but I'm not going to swap it out for a different EDC just yet. I really like the gun, and I'm hoping I don't have any further issues with it.

Big centuries from Rajat Bhatia and Vijay Dahiya ensured that they responded to Tamil Nadu's 347 with a massive 491 for 7 before declaring and giving their bowlers a chance to get some practice under their belt early in the season.
Tamil Nadu were 66 for 2 when play was called off at the start of the mandatory overs.
Resuming on an overnight 101, Bhatia added 65 runs to his individual score and was looking good for a double-century when he holed out to long off. Bhatia, who struck 21 boundaries in his 335-ball stay at the crease, went after the left-arm spin of S Vidyut, but failed to clear the fielder at long-off when he attempted an inside out shot and was caught by R Sathish.
By this time though, the match as a contest had ended. In just the eighth over of the morning session, Delhi had secured the first-innings lead and this meant that the rest of the day was merely a leather-hunt for Tamil Nadu. Dahiya, who had begun aggressively on the third day, continued in the same vein, and he was last out hitting S Badrinath to midwicket. Dahiya made 152 with the help of 27 boundaries.
''We have been working very hard for the last 40 days and this has paid off,'' Delhi coach Chetan Chauhan told reporters at the end of the match.
''We have been working very hard on our physical fitness and have had the support of the assistant coach, the physiotherapist and the trainer, and this paid off.'' Chetan Chauhan's opposite number, Woorkheri Raman, the former Test batsman, said, ''There were some positives to take from this game. If we were to have a setback it is best we have it early on so we can rectify our faults and do what is needed in the season ahead.'' Tamil Nadu next play Andhra while Delhi take on Ranji champions Uttar Pradesh.
Tamil Nadu 1st innings: 347 all out (S Badrinath 136, M Vijay 59, M Vikram 52, I Sharma 4 for 65)
Delhi 1st innings: 491 for 7 declared (S Dhawan 106, R Bhatia 166, V Dahiya 152, VY Mahesh 4 for 136)
Tamil Nadu 2nd innings: M Vijay c M Tehlan b Nanda 38 S Vidyut c Chopra b Nanda 25 HK Badani not out 0 VY Mahesh not out 3

I love the convenience of Keurig! This has been a wonderful addition to my kitchen.Read More
Love the single cup makerRead More
Still using my single serve Keurig. Unlike the units that have water holding tanks, I like the fact that since I'm the only one using it, I put fresh water in it each time.Read More
The only issue I have with this purchase is t just took TO long to arrive, their was a issue/mix up with the tracking number I guess that was forwarded to me. I contacted customer service after about a week, and after an additional few days I was contacted, they could not track the item. So I went out and purchased another coffee maker from a store (could not get the color I wanted, so I just got a black one), I needed it as a gift for my son. Many more days later after this I received the so now I have two, so I guess I will give the other one to my daughter who is headed off to college.Read More
This product is excellent we are enjoying it to its fullestRead More
Great single cup coffee maker, and choice of colors to match your kitchen.Read More
I love the mini Keurig because it fits in my small kitchen very well and I like the red color The single brew is fine with me, because I am single and have not done it with friends yet.Read More
This is a great machine and quite a value. I would highly recommend it to anyone especially for an office or to have at home as a machine when you want a great single cup of coffee.Read More
I have the last Keurig they made before switching over to K-cups(which really pisses me off by the way, changing the ONE thing common to their product, but I digress). That works wonderfully for me and I had one in my office. My Aunt and Uncle whom I'm very close to spent the summer at my parents house after moving back from Panama. They bought an RV and spent their time in their. They love coffee and my Aunt had commented on my Keurig several times. I ended up buying the mini for her as it works essentially the same, but is much more convenient for travel. Takes up less than half the space of mine and does everything mine does. Just doesn't have the big water reservoir and I guess it "only," brews up to 10 ounces(6-8 and 10). Those are the sizes your most likely to use anyway. I also love buying the Green Mountain Iced Coffee(French Vanilla). I love it over ice as actual Ice Coffee, or just hot as the only difference between their French Vanilla Iced Coffee and their French Vanilla is their are more grounds in the iced coffee(as the ices obviously makes it watery). So you can get two 8 oz cups out of there. Great product, love everything about it and wouldn't change a thing.Read More
We are big fans of the Keurig coffee makers. We wanted this one for our travel trailer. It works great and fits perfect in a small space.Read More

Napper Named SEC Freshman of the Week
Aug. 29, 2011
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Freshman defensive specialist Jackie Napper has been selected as the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week it was announced by the league office Monday afternoon.
A Louisville, Ky., native Napper made a significant impact for the Wildcats going 2-1 at the Florida State Invitational in the opening weekend of action. She ranked second on the team with 2.42 digs per set while posting a .959 reception percentage during the first weekend of collegiate action.
Furthermore, Napper began her career picking up 14 digs in her first career match in a UK win over Albany. In the Wildcats' upset of No. 23 Tulsa, Napper charted 13 digs. With a pair of double-figure efforts, Napper became the first freshman in the Craig Skinner era to tally double-digit digs in two of her first three career matches. Former UK star Jenni Casper was the last Kentucky player to achieve the feat, although she did not record double figures until her second career match.
Three Matches Selected for Television
Kentucky was selected for an ESPNU broadcast earlier this season, but the Wildcats have been picked for three additional TV matches.
UK's home match with Georgia, Sept. 18 has been was selected by CSS and the match time will now shift to a 2 p.m. ET start.
Additionally, the UK IMG Sports Network will broadcast the Louisville (9/7) and Florida (Oct. 30) matches live on Fox Sports South. The Louisville match is slated for a 7 p.m. ET start and Florida's first serve is set for 1:30 p.m. ET.
Locally in Lexington, the CWKYT will have the Louisville match on tape delay beginning at 10 p.m. ET. The Florida match will also air live on the partner network of WKYT.
Koberstein Makes History
Sophomore setter Elizabeth Koberstein dished out 70 assists in the upset victory over No. 23 Tulsa. In addition to her making history in the UK record books, she also becomes the first player in SEC history to chart 70 or more helpers since the advent of 25-point scoring in 2008.
The Madison, Wisc., native currently leads the conference with an average of 12.00 assists per set thus far. In the victory over Tulsa she averaged an astounding 14 assists per stanza, with UK charting 14 or more kills in all five frames.
Kentucky's Memorial Coliseum will play host to the NCAA Regionals Dec. 9-10. UK is one of four sites selected for Sweet 16 and Elite Eight matchups with one team advancing to the Final Four in San Antonio, Texas, from the Lexington Region. Tickets are on sale now through the UK Ticket Office.

I get the same error as described there. Bu the error is not the one described in this bug (if I use localhost, the table gets imported OK), the error seems to be with the underlying code that fetches the table from the internet (the code changed from OOo 3.4 beta to AOO 3.4.0, because of license issues).

Savage Destiny(2008)
A novel by Jewel Adams
On a wagon train that journeys from Baltimore to the Northwest Territory, Cali discovers the land that touches her heart with its beauty. She pesters the old scout, to teach her all he knows, embracing the new land she needs the old mans knowledge to survive. But all her lessons cant prepare her for the very real Indian that hunts her down. And like the hawk that holds his prey in his talons, Cali looks deep into the coal black depths of the man that is her savage destiny! Blackhawks senses pulse in possessive yearning for the woman he took captive. Nothing will make him set her free, not even her own wild spirit. But can he save her from the dangers, ones that come from his own tribe and want her death? And when she believes he betrayed her, ordered her to be killed, will she see past her hate and fear, to find the love they once shared? Two beautiful people find a love worth fighting for in the wilderness of 1795 in the Northwest Territory of the American frontier. Let your emotions run through the smoke fires that dry buffalo meat, feel the biting sting of a knifes killing blade and touch the love that finds ecstasy in SAVAGE DESTINY!

Georgetown College wrapped up its 2011 NAIA Football Championship Series Semifinals berth with a 26-14 win over Saint Francis Saturday at Toyota Stadium. Then the No. 3 Tigers (12-0) waited to learn their fate. Would they host or be on the road?
The NAIA just announced they will head to Montana for a showdown with No. 2 Carroll College. No. 5 St. Xavier out of Illinois will head to No. 1 Marian University in the other matchup.
CC (12-1) made a late, fourth-quarter drive that snuffed out the Tigers hopes of hosting Saturday. The Fighting Saints final drive put them up 17-14 and earned them the home field advantage for the third straight week.
This is the third meeting for the two storied programs - nine national championships between the two schools. GC took the first two on its way to back-to-back perfect seasons and national championships, while Carroll won the third in the 2002 finals.
The Fighting Saints have six national crowns and are the current defending champions. The lone blemish on their record is a loss to Eastern Oregon the second game of the season. The two met again later and CC won, 31-21.
The Tigers are undefeated and back in the semifinals for the first time since 2004. This is the sixth time in 15 seasons GC has advanced this far and five out of six years during the 1999-2004 span of two national titles and two runner-up finishes. Under Bill Cronin the Tigers are 22-8 in postseason play.

The exact dates for the tri-series, a prelude to the Champions Trophy tournament in India in October-November, will be announced later.
Each team will play the other twice in the league with the top two advancing to the final, Indian cricket board secretary Niranjan Shah said in a statement on Monday.
Three of the seven matches will be played in Singapore and the remaining four in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, the statement said.
Singapore has previously hosted three tri-series, the first one in 1996 between India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka at Padang and two in 1999 and 2000 at the new Kallang ground.
Kuala Lumpur hosted one-day internationals when cricket was played at the Commonwealth Games in 2002.
The ground arrangements for the latest series will be organised by Cricket Australia (CA) while the Indian board will handle the marketing and sale of television rights, the statement added.
CA's chief executive James Sutherland said in Sydney he was grateful for the support of the Malaysian Cricket Association and the Singapore Cricket Association.
"It would be exciting to bring the game to newer cricketing frontiers and to showcase some of the best players in the world," Sutherland said.
The tournament would be Australia's first international series since it toured Bangladesh in April.
It would be the first step in what will be a huge season for Australia, including the Champions Trophy, the home Ashes series against England and the World Cup in the Caribbean, starting in March.

One of the major problems facing systems for Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) and Geographic Information Systems (GI systems) applications today is the lack of interoperability among the various systems.In the process of integrating different software applications, substantial difficulties can arise when translating information from one application to another.Here we focus on semantic difficulties, which include cases where in two applications the same symbol is used to refer to different things and cases where different symbols denote the same thing.What is needed is some way of explicitly specifying the terminology of applications in an unambiguous fashion.Ontologies can provide such means.
In Computer Science an ontology is considered a specification of a conceptualization [11].Conceptualizations are ways in which humans understand and represent the world.In GI systems for example, we use concepts like parcel, highway, lake, etc.In AEC systems we use concepts like building, room, garden, backyard, etc.A specification then includes unique names for concepts (the vocabulary), and descriptions of the meaning of those names.The latter includes both concepts and relationships between concepts.
In this paper, we discuss how ontologies can be used to facilitate interoperability between AEC and GI systems.
On using ontologies
Jasper and Uschold [16] identify three major areas of uses for ontologies: (i) to assist in communication between human beings, (ii) to achieve interoperability (communication) among software systems, and (iii) to improve the design and the quality of software systems.Here we focus on (ii).
There are at least two different ontology-based classes of solutions to the problem of enabling different software applications to communicate: One is the standardization approach in which all applications adhere to a standard, which serves as a shared common ontology.As a result all applications which adhere to the standard use the same terminology in an unambiguous fashion.
In the second class of solutions ontology is used as an interlingua or reference ontology.In such a framework every application has its own specific ontology.Transformations of the vocabulary of every application into the vocabulary of the reference ontology and vice versa need to be provided.Applications with different internal ontologies then can interoperate by first transforming the statements (data) expressed in the vocabulary of the source ontology to statements (data) expressed in the vocabulary of the reference ontology, and from here to statements (data) expressed in terms of the vocabulary of the ontology of the target application.The transformations are performed in such a way that the meaning of the statements (data) is preserved.
When using an ontology as interlingua or reference ontology, two basic scenarios of generating the translations can be distinguished.Firstly, translations from/to the different software applications can be written by humans.Here the human beings writing the translations interpret the underlying ontologies.This is the state of the art today.In the second scenario the computer programs themselves are able to interpret the ontologies and perform the translation and communication process.This is the core of the dream of the Semantic Web [3,8].
It has been pointed out in the literature that the standard-based approach is useful in restricted domains and relatively homogeneous environments while the use of reference ontologies is more suitable in non-restricted domains and heterogeneous environments [6].
Data standards and reference
ontologies for AEC and GI systems
To provide foundations for overcoming the historic distinction between AEC and GI systems and to facilitate interoperability between them, both classes of solutions, the standard-based approach as well as the reference ontology approach, can be exploited.
We argue that standardization will be successful in cases where both, AEC and GI systems, share common ground that can be made explicit in a shared common ontology.In our opinion, this will result in a large degree of standardization of the spatial components of AEC and GI systems.Already today data standards are applied quite successfully.Consider for example the body of standards that has been worked out within the OpenGIS community [7,2], or the norms set up by ISO [15].
Now consider the use of reference ontologies in facilitating interoperability between AEC and GI systems. In this context it is important to recognize that, strictly speaking, the spatial components of AEC and GI systems only specify the spatial locations of objects represented within those systems.Sharing of information about location is, from an ontological perspective, relatively simple.Sharing of information about non-spatial (or thematic) attribute data, however, is, from an ontological perspective, quite complex.This complexity arises from the need to specify the nature of the entities themselves and the need to take into account heterogeneity of the different kinds of things in the target domains of AEC and GI systems.
To achieve interoperability at the level of attribute data, we need to provide reference ontologies that are general enough to specify the conceptualization of entities that range from small-scale objects like cups or tables to large-scale human artifacts such as buildings, cities, highway systems, or political subdivisions, as well as natural phenomena of geographic scale such as rivers, lakes, wetlands, environments, or ecosystems.
These different kinds of concepts belong to different domain ontologies, e.g., ontologies of ecosystems, transportation ontologies, ontologies of real estate, etc. Domain ontologies describe the basic concepts of a particular domain. But ontologies can successfully facilitate the interoperability AEC and GI system attribute data only if they also provide an account of more fundamental notions that are assumed in all of these specialized domains. Ontologies at this level of generality are called top-level ontologies [17].
Top-level ontologies
Top-level ontologies provide the basis upon which domain ontologies are built.This is because, despite all the distinctions and the variety of different notions, all domain ontologies use the same top-level concepts and relations.Examples of those top-level notions include: categories like endurants and perdurants, which refer to different modes of existence in time [14]; mereological (part-of) relations [19,13], topological (connectedness) relations [21], and dependence relations.In addition, the notions of granularity and context are treated in top-level ontologies [4].Currently there are several different top-level ontologies under development.Two important examples are DOLCE [17] and Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) [10].Here we will focus on BFO but we could have chosen DOLCE equally well.
The most basic categorical distinction between entities at the top-level has to do with different modes of persistence through time.Two categories of persistent entities can be distinguished: endurants (objects) and perdurants (processes).Endurants are wholly present (i.e., all their proper parts are present) at any time at which they exist at all.For example, you (an endurant) are wholly present in the moment you are reading this.No part of you is missing.Endurants can change and yet remain the same.For example, all the cells in your body are replaced over a period of 10 years, nevertheless you are the same person today as you were 10 years ago.
Perdurants (processes), on the other hand, are only partially present at any time at which they exist - they evolve over time.For example, at this moment only a (tiny) part of your life (a perdurant) is present.Larger parts of your life - such as your childhood - are not present at this moment.
Understanding the distinction between endurants and perdurants is important when time and change are incorporated into information systems [18,10].The notions of process and change are critical in domains in which GIS has been used traditionally, for example in hydrology and in environmental science [9].To overcome the historical distinction between AEC and GI systems, both need to take into account the notions of object, process and change.Incorporating these notions into reference ontologies that provide a bridge between the two is the first step toward developing applications that go beyond today's capabilities of both kinds of systems.
Endurants are divided into two major categories: independent endurants such as cups, buildings, bridges, and highway systems, and dependent endurants such as qualities (the size of this cup), roles (the role a person fills when he is the janitor of a particular building or the president of a particular country), and functions (the air conditioner's function of cooling down the air).Here we focus on the former category.BFO distinguishes the following kinds of independent endurants: substances, fiat parts of substances, aggregates of substances, and boundaries of substances.
Substances are maximally connected entities, e.g., they have connected bona fide boundaries.These are boundaries which correspond to discontinuities in the underlying reality. For example, human beings and automobiles are substances.But neither your nose nor your arms are substances.Both are fiat parts of you, i.e., delimited (at least partly) by boundaries that do not correspond to discontinuities in the underlying reality, but rather to a human demarcation of parts in a continuum.Similarly, mountains are fiat parts of the planet Earth, or land parcels are fiat parts of the surface of the earth.Aggregates of substances are also independent endurants which are not substances.Examples of aggregates are: your family, the heating facilities in a given building, the water supply facilities in a town, etc.
Historically, CAD and thus AEC systems have been strong at modeling aggregates, while fiat subdivisions such as land parcels were modeled primarily in GIS.To overcome this distinction it is important to incorporate the notions of substance, fiat part, and aggregate into both systems as well as into reference ontologies that provide the bridge between them.

Hold The Phone, Rihanna Is Getting A Makeup Collection
Fenty Beauty will launch in fall 2017
Photo by Brian Killian/Getty Images.
Move over, Lip Kits. The most covetable makeup collection ever is coming to you in fall 2017.
Rihanna has just signed a deal with the Kendo division of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton to launch her own makeup line, named Fenty Beauty. It's rumored that the brand paid an estimated $10 million to seal the deal with the Anti star.
While we don't have many details just yet, we can expect this collab to be major. The CEO of Kendo David Sulitean said in a statement, "Fenty Beauty by Rihanna is a beauty rocket ship that will appeal to a huge and diverse global audience. We are aiming for the stars." He later commented that the brand is "honored" to work with her.
Kendo certainly knows what they're doing. They're the company behind Kat Von D Beauty and Marc Jacobs Beauty, so it's only fitting for them to be the ones behind Rihanna's upcoming line. This may end up being the most highly anticipated makeup collection of them all.
This isn't Rihanna's first foray into beauty. She collaborated with MAC Cosmetics back in 2013 on a four-part RiRi Hearts MAC collection and has produced seven fragrances for Parlux Ltd. Fenty Beauty will be the star's first full collection.
We wish fall 2017 wasn't so far away.

The Hammer has spent time in Kuwait, waking up at the sound of gunshots overhead. He has been to Korea, where he has sat on top of a 12-foot tall shack in his sleeping clothes as torrential downpours have mounted as high as 7 feet with lightning illuminating the sky around him.He almost added Iraq to his tours of duty, but his Guard unit was not called to serve there before his obligation ended.
Over the course of the past eight years, The Hammer's adventures have taken him to Kentucky, Virginia, Georgia, California and Texas.
Scout.com's George Von Benko talked with McCune recently:
GVB-- How have your off season workouts gone?
RM-- It's been a good off season and I've continued to stay in shape and I've maintained.
GVB- I understand you were pleased with your showing at the combine in Indianapolis.
RM-- I did pretty good in the Senior Bowl and the combine. Electronically they clocked me at 4.50, but my agent told me that on some clocks they had me at 4.37 and a 4.44. I did 34 reps on the bench press and there was one other guy that did more than me - he did 36. I was pretty pleased because when I was training over in Duluth, GA I was getting around 34 or 35 so I gave it my all and I don't have any regrets.
GVB-- You opened some eyes with your speed at the combine - that is a big part of your game isn't it?
RM-- Oh yes, it is a big part of my game. Running to the football and being around the football are strengths. I was talking to the Saints and the scout was wondering if I could run the time that they had marked down for me. After I ran he came up to me and shook my hand and congratulated me.
GVB-- Who has shown a lot of interest in you?
RM-- A lot of teams have called. They liked the route that I took and like the way I play football and they tell me to keep my head up everything is going to be okay. I heard from New Orleans and Pittsburgh, Dallas, San Francisco and Houston, but a lot of teams have called.
GVB-- Your background and makeup are viewed as big factors in teams interest.
RM-- I'm just going to keep doing the right things and keep giving my all and whatever happens in the draft I'm going to be satisfied. I've given all I've got.
GVB-- Have you gotten any indication where you might fall in the draft?
RM-- I heard a lot of things anywhere from the late second round on. Whatever happens I'll be happy.

A shame you didnt continue this

Hey, I similarly just found Amagami SS and wanted far more. I really liked your story, but the only thing that bugged me was the part where Ayatsuji said the exact same thing to the teacher. Apart from that, this was really good. Keep up the excellent work.
| Allus Ilvaldi chapter 1 . 8/12/2013
Actually, you should write some more, because this work of yours is something that I've been looking forward to ever since you started, so please finish it. okay?
| Someone chapter 1 . 7/4/2013
No more chapters aw, I was liking this story its a shame good series like this hardly get any fanfics.
| crono511 chapter 1 . 4/28/2013
So update soon i love this story
| chronodekar chapter 1 . 1/9/2013
The idea is interesting. Fact-wise I have a nitpick, is Kurosawa in the same class as the other two? I had a feeling from the anime that she was in a different section. Still, its a minor matter.
Your writing is nice to read and _fits_ this story. But, this chapter is waay too short to get any idea. In fact, its at best an idea. Too little data here to really tell if I like it or not. Perhaps when you hit about 8k words (not including ANs), I'll be able to form a better opinion.
| Drgnknight chapter 1 . 1/7/2013
I just got finish watching the whole series and wanted to read some fanfic. I was a little disappointed in the amount of stories, but your story caught my eye and chose to read it first. I like how the story is going and hope you continue writing it, keep up the good work.
| AznPuffyHair chapter 1 . 9/2/2012
Totally not enough stories in this section.
Either way, looking forward to the schemes that can pop out in this competition. Poor Junichi. He'll probably be driven insane before long.
| Tensa-Zangetsu102 chapter 1 . 8/14/2012
Please let every one of those plans fail with Tsakasa not falling for any of them! I heard that in the game, she was the only girl that hasn't fell for Risa's fake picture.
| Blushing Aniki chapter 1 . 8/9/2012
Lolll. Keep writing no matter what. Even if no one reviews this fic because this anime is so obscure, you got to keep going. Why?
Because it's enjoyable. I see no problems with the plot so far.
As you can see, this section of the website is pretty much... Dead. Hopefully, that won't discourage you. But you did say in the beginning that you liven it up a bit.
Bwhaha. I'm looking forward to another chapter of this.
By the way, thanks for reviewing my Amagami fic. I was bawling when I saw a new review.

Gadgets, Gadgets, Gadgets for Dads
Indeed, why even create your own - ahem - bodily noises, when a little machine can do it for you? And you just know the 6 foot tall 8 year old in your house is going to fall about at that one. Ah men, what a weird lot, eh?!
But yes, daughters and wives everywhere, you can buy all these delights and more online at the gadget shop and in actual fact you can buy lots of other really cool stuff there too. While the projection wall clock isn't everyone's cup of tea, I think the backwards one is rather fun, and who can resist the lure of pressing their hand or nose into one of these Pin Art things?! Come on, admit it!
The Isaac's Apple 3D jigsaw puzzle is bound to keep him busy for hours, and no, of course he doesn't need any help!! I quite like the look of this sand art gadget for myself to be honest with you, one of those intriguing things you could fiddle about with for ages to see what it made next, with all the appeal of a flat kaleidoscope. I hope I'm not the only adult to still find kaleidoscopes fascinating...
But I think top of our must-buy list has to be this sparkly lava lamp for Lara, she has been hankering after one for ages, having been mesmerised by the movement and the shapes in one as a baby.
I'm sure a few silly bits for Steve may make it into my shopping basket too, although I am definitely drawing the line at the bodily function humour :-/
What would you buy your husband/dad for Father's Day?

The first phase of the Government's "radical" welfare reform programme starts today with benefit claimants starting to be reassessed for their ability to work.
The move comes as new figures showed that almost £135 billion had been spent over the past 10 years keeping two million people "on the sick".
Long-term incapacity benefit claimants in Burnley and Aberdeen will be the first across the country to undergo a new test to see if they are fit for work.
Ministers said the reassessment was designed to end the one-size-fits all approach to those with health conditions and disabilities which has led to 2.1 million people being "trapped" on benefits.
But one charity voiced concern that the so-called Work Capability Assessment was not able to adequately establish whether mental health can affect someone's ability to work.
The Government published "shocking" new figures it said revealed the true cost of long-term benefit dependency to the British taxpayer, with almost £135 billion paid out in incapacity benefits since 2000.
These figures underlined the scale of the challenge and why urgent reform of the welfare system was needed, said the Government.
Ministers said the most severely disabled and people who were terminally ill will not be expected to look for work and will get extra help through Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).
But those people who are reassessed and found fit for work will move onto Jobseekers Allowance and will be expected to look for work.
Employment Minister Chris Grayling said: "It's nothing short of a scandal that so many people were simply cast aside to a lifetime on benefits, wasting their talents and potential and costing the taxpayer almost £135 billion.
"While some of these people will be genuinely too sick to work, there will be others who through no fault of their own were told by the state that they were better off on the sick and then left behind - this stops now.
"We are taking immediate action by starting the process of reassessing everyone on incapacity benefit to see if they can work, and for those that can we will be bringing in new support to get them into jobs."
Mental health charity Mind called for a revision of the test before it is rolled out to over 1.5 million claimants nationwide.
Sophie Corlett, Mind's director of external relations, said: "The benefit test being used in the pilots starting today has a fundamental problem when it comes to people with mental health problems - it does not do what it's set up for, which is to distinguish accurately which people can work and which people can't.
"Over half of all benefit claimants have a mental health problem, so it should go without saying that any fitness to work test should thoroughly assess mental health and whether it presents a barrier to work and coping in the workplace. However, many people with mental health issues have found that the impact of their condition on their ability to work is barely recognised.
"The Government wants to toughen up on benefit claimants while supporting those in genuine need - this system doesn't identify those in genuine need.
"The consequences of being wrongly declared fit for work can be devastating. People with mental health problems need vocational and health-related support to get them ready for a job again. Incorrectly putting these people onto Jobseekers Allowance will see a reduction in their benefit, less support for getting a job, greater pressure to get to work sooner, and financial sanctions applied if they fail.
"This could not only throw people into long-term poverty, but the distress could actively make their mental health problems worse, and make it even harder for them to get a job."
Mr Grayling denied there was a "target" to declare 23% of incapacity claimants well enough to get jobs.
He also said the test could be changed if it was not giving an accurate picture of individuals' conditions.
"If we need to make modifications to the test to get this right then we will do it," Mr Grayling told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
"I want this to work. This is not about forcing people who should not be in work into work. It is about doing the right thing by those people who can get back into work."

I think the world of good teachers. I know they get little recognition, but do tremendous work, so we like to make sure they know how special they are to us. Little J, Juiciness, and Sassyfras assembled these gifts for their teachers to bring them on the first day of fall.
We started with fall colored takeout boxes (found at Michael's) and filled them with tulip bulbs (bought in bulk at Sam's Club). I printed out the instructions for planting and included them in the box. I lucked out when I found the trowels and garden gloves on clearance for 50 cents each at Michael's. I hadn't planned on doing more than the bulbs, but I thought it was a nice extra. The kids each colored or wrote a little note for their teacher too.

In sow estrous cycle, the hypothalamic levels of both NMB and NMBR mRAN were similar, but the expression levels of the pituitary were negatively correlated.
The rs2717 and rs6926279 within the NMBR gene were associated with schizophrenia liability.
Hypoxia regulates the expression of the neuromedin B receptor through a mechanism dependent on hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha.
NMB and its receptor are coexpressed by proliferating cells in which they act in an autocrine fashion with similar and modest potency in both normal and malignant colonic epithelial cells.
mice with deletion of NB receptor have lower insulinemia, especially in response to oral glucose, and females also exhibited a better glucose tolerance, suggesting the involvement of neuromedin b and its receptor in regulation of insulin (show INS Antibodies) secretion induced by incretins, and also, in insulin (show INS Antibodies) sensitivity.
ablating NMB receptor-expressing neurons eliminated basal and hypoxia-induced sighing, but left breathing otherwise intact initially
The neuromedin B pathways are importantly involved in secretory pathways of TSH and revealed its participation in the in vivo regulation of gene expression of TSH beta (show TSHB Antibodies)-subunit (show POLG Antibodies) and pituitary MCT8 (show MCT8 Antibodies) and Thrb (show THRB Antibodies) and hypothalamic TRH (show TRH Antibodies) and type 2 deiodinase (show DIO2 Antibodies).
Together, we define the respective function of NMBR and GRPR (show GRPR Antibodies) in itch transmission, and reveal an unexpected relationship not only between the two receptors but also between the two populations of interneurons in itch signaling.
spinal GRPr (show GRPR Antibodies) and NMBr independently drive itch neurotransmission in mice.
Results implicate that NMB is involved in cartilage development, either in an autocrine or paracrine manner.
The data demonstrated that the neuromedin B-neuromedian B receptor interaction in pregnant myometrial primary cells in vitro predominantly influenced uterine activity through regulation of Il6 (show IL6 Antibodies) expression via the Rela/p65 (show NFkBP65 Antibodies) pathway.
These data demonstrate that neuromedin B and its receptor can induce the onset of labor via a RELA (show NFkBP65 Antibodies)/IL6 (show IL6 Antibodies)-mediated pathway.
The mRNA and protein expressions of NMBR reach a peak at the onset of labor.

Wentworth, UK, May 23 (UNI) In his second appearance in Europe this season, Indian Golfer Shiv Shankar Prasad Chowrasia carded a solid two-under 70 to tied 12th after the first round in the BMW PGA Championship here.
Chowrasia, bogeyed third and seventh to be two-over at that stage but hit back quickly with birdies on eighth and ninth.
An eagle followed on 12th and a birdie on 15th brought him to three-under. However, a late bogey on 17th spoilt his card.
Chowrasia was five behind the leader Paul McGinley from Ireland, who had a bogey-free round and shot seven-under-par 65.
The other Indian golfer in the fray are Shiv Kapur (71) was tied 26th, Jyoti Randhawa (73) was 59th and Jeev Milkha Singh (78) was 129th.
Shiv Kapur started with two birdies in the first four holes, only to give up that great start with three bogeys between fifth and 10th holes. He finished with a one-under 71 and was tied 26th.
Randhawa dropped five bogeys against four birdies for a 73 whereas Chandigarh pro Jeev Milkha Singh hit five bogeys on the front nine and another three on the back nine and had just two birdies against them for a 78.
