The Teutonic Confederation was originally established in the 12th century by knights of the Catholic Church. However, the state and it's culture have not always existed independently.
Beginnings of the Teutons (12th-13th Centuries)
The Teutonic Confederation dates back to the original Teutonic Knights of the 12th century. The Knights were Catholic crusaders who fought in the Holy Land. Their main goals were to protect pilgrims and establish hospitals. Once the Holy Land was lost, the Teutonic Knights were moved to Hungary, to defend against hostile Turks. The order then attempted to put themselves under papal sovereignty to become independent. However, King Andras II of Hungary expelled the order. The order then continued to the baltics, where they initiated the Prussian Crusade, to convert the baltics to Christianity. After this was achieved, the Holy Roman Empire, the Papacy, and Poland all issued golden bulls recognizing Teutonic control of the baltic countries. This was all achieved by the 13th century.
Continued Expansion (14th Century)
The Teutons, now having achieved their goals of converting the baltics, were left without a task. By time of the 14th century, the Papacy had declared a crusade against what would become Russia, in order to mend the East-West Schism that occurred two centuries before. The Teutons and other Catholic nations in Europe all invaded the orthodox lands in Russia. This coalition led to Russia's timely demise. The Teutons were able to capture a large swath of Russian land in the north, and then proceeded to Germanify that land. They built a large port in what is OTL Saint Petersburg. However, they named it Sankt Georgburg, or Saint Georgesburg, after the patron saint of the Teutonic Order, Saint George. After taking the Russian lands, the Teutonic economy began to prosper enormously. The new port of Sankt Georgburg was a large cause of this, as the Teutons were receiving large amounts of trade overseas to and from St. Georgburg. From the large amount of money now being made, the Order invested more into it's military, as well as hiring mercenaries. There was a period of peace, as the Russians had largely been tamed and there was no further need for crusading in eastern Europe. However during the split of the Russian territories, there was a dispute over parts of OTL Belarus. In order to avoid war, the Papacy issued a statement declaring the strip of land in question was in fact under Teutonic jurisdiction.
Periods of Peace (15th Century)
The Polish were less than pleased, but their King obeyed the Papacy for now. The Duchy of Finland, who had claims to lands that the Teutons took during the Eastern Crusades, was also disgruntled. The Finns went to the Papacy for help, but the Papacy once more sided with the Teutons. The Finns, Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians were all allies due to the Scandinavian Union Pact. This pact was signed in the late 13th century by the countries of Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The Scandinavian Union essentially was a military alliance among the Nordic peoples, and also said that the Union would not let any Nords fall under foreign rule. The Union considered the occupation of the Finnish claims in OTL Murmansk and Karelia as foreign rule of Nords. The Union then began creating ties with Poland, who were likewise angered by territorial disputes. As the 15th century rolled around, France and England united under one crown, and small wars between the HRE and the United Kingdom began. The Teutonic Order was bound to serve the Holy Roman Emperor, and the Papacy, and sent troops away to fight in the wars against the UK. However, they left enough men to defend the Teutonic lands proper. Besides the small wars in western Europe, the Teutonic Order saw another century of relative peace, where their economy continued to grow and prosper.
Turmoil in Europe and Colonial Expansion (16th-17th Centuries)
Colonial Expansion
The Teutons began investing in colonial ventures with their large stocks of cash from the Baltic Sea trade, as well as their large navy. The Teutons landed and founded Neu Memel in the lands of OTL Quebec. They also landed in OTL Bahamas, creating the colony of Weißland. They also journeyed to Argentina, creating a colony by the name of Breitenfeld along the coast. This would end Teutonic colonial expansion for a few centuries.
The end of the 16th century broke the near two centuries of constant peace. The German philosopher Martin Luther had posted his Ninety Five Theses, which sent Europe into religious turmoil. The HRE was being dismantled from the inside out, and Italy, formerly defended by the HRE, was being eaten into by the UK. The Teutonic Order of the knights themselves were called away from their territories, being told to go to Germany to fight against Protestantism. This left the Teutonic Order without its founders and leaders. Poland and the Scandinavian Union saw the chance to strike at the vulnerable country, and declared war. The military was nearly non-existant due to being shipped to the HRE, and the soldiers and mercenaries that were still there could not hold back the invasion. Poland had annexed the OTL Belarussian lands they had claims on, and Finland took their claims. The holy flame in the north east that was the Teutonic Order was essentially extinguished, their only lands being small Russian holdings and the baltics. The Teutonic Order's knights decided that the preservation of their state was more important that doing the Pope's busywork. The Order left back to the baltics, which were still occupied by the Nords and the Poles. The Order was vassalized, becoming the Duchy of Prussia, and under jurisdiction of a Polish Duke. The Teutonic Order being exposed to the Reformation, slowly began to reform throughout the 16th and 17th century. In combination with this, the UK in the 17th century had taken over Rome, which led to the Church losing all stability it managed to keep during the Reformation. This led to the HRE being converted fully into Protestantism. However, a few bastions of Catholicism remained. For example, England, France, and Poland to name a few were still Catholic. The Teutonic Order, now Lutheranized, had lost all influence with the Papacy, who had reformed into Western Catholicism.
However, they had forged stronger ties with the HRE. After Europe had settled, the Empire saw that fellow Protestants were under Catholic rule. The Empire invaded Poland and the Scandinavian Union, while the Teutonic Order revolted and began reclaiming their old lands. The combined strength of the Germans and Teutons led to a swift fall of Poland and the Scandinavian Union. Denmark and most of Poland proper went to the HRE, while the rest of Poland and Scandinavia went to the Teutons.
State of the Colonies
After the Order had been vassalized into the Duchy of Prussia, the colony of Weißland was taken by New Venice. Neu Memel and Breitenfeld, however, remained as colonies, though they were on the poorer side of things as Poland restricted the colonies massively as the lord to the Duchy. However, Teutonic influence was still felt, and the colonies were barely managing to scrape by every few decades.
Aftermath and Industrialization (18th-19th Centuries)
The Teutonic Order, now with no purpose as a knightly order, disbanded. The Grand Knight Commander of the time became the first King of the Teutons, and the Teutons meshed into an absolute monarchy. The royal family, von Raum, began to Germanify their new lands, as well as repair their other lands in terms of Germanification. The von Raums divided the country into different Duchies, Baronies, and the like. German princes from the von Raums took the thrones of the newly taken countries. In addition to working on cultural hegemony, the Teutons also began converting everyone in their realms to Lutheranism. However, during the reformation, new bouts of radical Eastern Orthodoxy came up, and refused to go away. This left small amounts of the Russian population as Orthodox. The Polish, who had been die-hard Catholics, also were difficult to convert. As the Renaissance ends and the Industrial Age begins, the Teutons were some of the first to begin to industrialize. After they recovered and rebuilt their lands, their massive trade empire re-established itself. This influx of money, along with a strong economy, allowed the Teutons to begin investing heavily in industrialization. Most of the former baltic states, along with Poland, some of Russia, Belarus, and some cities in Scandinavia all became industrialized in this era. The von Raum family used a lot of the industry to shape a military industrial complex, to insure that the von Raums would be on the throne for years to come. The von Raums kept promoting nationalism, also as an insurance policy. The Teutons would not have to fight in any major wars throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. They did more colonization, and got into minor colonial wars. However, they did not fight any European powers on the mainland.
The Teutonic colonies of Breitenfeld and Neu Memel all of a sudden received large economic boosts as the Teutons became independent again. Breitenfeld manifested itself as successful trading post on the coast, as well as a good source of luxury products, not to mention a great port. Neu Memel was also a successful trading post, and started to accumulate colonists of mostly minorities wanting to escape Germanification of their lands. Therefore, the colony of Neu Memel was very diverse and cultured.
New colonies from these centuries include Neu Sankt Georgburg, which was an African colony on the gold coast. An Indian colony by the name of Neu Livonia. An OTL Indonesian colony was also established, named Neu Teutonica. Another south east asian colony was created called Sigmunddorf. Another part of west Africa in OTL Senegal was colonized and was named Neu Mengau. That list completes their colony list.
The supplies from Teutonic colonies fueled the Teutonic economy, allowing expansion of the colonies, as well as the expansion of the Teutonic army and navy. Mercenaries were fazed out of use in the early 1700s in favor of a professional military. The von Raum family was famous for militarizing and nationalizing the Teutons.
The Kingdom of the Teutons was declared essentially defunct in the late 19th century. As the last of the Teutonic colonies was colonized, the Teutonic Empire was declared.

The Teutons were originally from mainland Germany. They brought the German culture over to their lands with them, but 900 years of isolation from the rest of the German culture has led the Teutons to stray from the path of modern German culture.
The Teutons were from Germany, as stated above. They came to their current lands in the early 12th century, speaking Middle Low German. The trading that the Teutonic Order did within the Hanseatic League led to them mostly continuing on with modern Low German, although when the league fell apart in the 16th century, the Teutons adapted to High German through contact with the HRE and other organizations. They have a unique dialect of High German that is called Teutonic German. There are some different spellings, minor syntax changes, and most noticeably, pronunciation differences.
As a result from these language changes, you will see Teutonic documents and writing from before the 16th century will be in Middle Low German and Modern Low German. However, anything from after the 16th century, will be in High German, and as the further you go on, the more pronounced and developed the Teutonic dialect becomes. For display purposes, everything written in German on this article will be in High German.
Teutonic arts did not really grow until the foundation of the Teutonic Kingdom. During this time, Teutonic arts flourished and were encouraged widely by the von Raum family. This led to many books being published, paintings, works of music, and more. The cultivation of Teuton arts led to a growing rise in nationalism in the Teutonic Kingdom.
List of Rulers
This list will include rulers of the Teutons from the Duchy of Prussia until now. There are not enough written records of Grand Masters during the First Order.
Duchy of Prussia
The Duchy of Prussia was a vassal of the Kingdom of Poland, which existed from the 16th to 17th centuries.

Teutonic Army
The Teutonic Army is the military fighting force of the Confederacy. It is broken into the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. The Army swears allegiance to the Hochmeister. Currently in peace time, there are approximately three million active duty soldiers.
The current army of 3 million is divided as such:
There are three army groups with one million men each.
There are thirty field armies per army group of one hundred thousand soldiers each.
Each field army has two corps of fifty thousand soldiers each.
Each corps has ten divisions of ten thousand soldiers each.
Each division has five regiments of two thousand soldiers each.
Each regiment has four battalions of five hundred soldiers each.
Each battalion has five companies of one hundred soldiers each.
Each company has five platoons of twenty soldiers each.
Each platoon has two sections of ten men each
Each section has two fire teams of five men each.
The entire armed forces is under jurisdiction of the Oberbefahlshaber. (Supreme Commander)
Each army group is commanded by a Generalfeldmarschall. (Field Marshal)
Each field army is commanded by a GeneralOberst. (Colonel General)
Each corps is commanded by a GeneralLeutnant or General. (Lieutenant General, General)
Each division is commanded by a GeneralMajor. (Major General)
Each regiment is commanded by an Oberst. (Colonel)

Each platoon is commanded by an OberLeutnant or Leutnant. (First Lieutenant, Lieutenant)
Each section is commanded by anywhere from an FeldwebelLeutnant to a Sergeant. (Acting Lieutenant - Sergeant)
Each fire team is commanded by an UnterOffizier. (Corporal)
This section will detail the various different awards that are awarded by the Confederacy.
Warrior Merit Medal
The Warrior Merit Medal is awarded to those in the armed forces who have shown exceptional service to the country. They are gold plated silver that are 25mm in diameter and they are circular. The obverse has the words "Warrior Merit" in German, surrounded by two laurel spigs tied with a bow. The reverse has the crown cypher of the last Emperor of the Teutonic Empire.
Cross of the Order of Albert
Awarded to those who have shown outstanding skill in the areas of command. It is a white ivory cross, outlined with silver. The cross has a blue circle in the center with golden laurels, at the bottom of the circle it reads "1850" , the year the award was established. The center of the circle is once more white, with the coat of arms of Grand Master Albert I von Reval.
Further Decorations
Two bronze swords are added to the reverse of the medal if quality of service continues after being awarded. It is also to signify a second award of the cross.. This version is called the Cross of the Order of Albert with Swords. It is more prestigious than without swords.
Grand Cross of the Teutons
Awarded for extreme bravery and other extreme acts of valor. It is a Teutonic Cross, with a ring at the top. The Cross also comes with a golden lace necklace, designed to go through the ring at the top of the Cross to be worn on the neck. In addition to this, the one being awarded the Cross is to have the Teutonic Cross stitched to their military garment to show they are a recipient of the cross.
The Cross may be worn at the same time their garment has the cross stitched in. The Cross is also the most prestigious of all medals awarded by the Teutons. It is equal to the Victoria Cross, the Medal of Honor, and other awards.
The Grand Cross is extremely expensive to make. The white of the cross is molded out of ivory. The black is obsidian attached onto the top of the top of the ivory. The golden decorations are attached above it, made of 24 karat gold. The ring at the top is also 24 karat gold, with the sphere in between being an etched pearl of obsidian.
The cost of the cross is not a problem, as the cross is rarely awarded.

I feel unprofessional taking an order on regular note book paper. Does anyone know where to purchase them or have an order form they would be willing to share?
Thanks in Advance,
Staples or Office Supply . Places like walmart will also have a few in the office products section.
There are many forms that members have posted on this site. But please don't feel like you're not looking professional just because you may use notebook paper. One of the most successful restaurants (italian) in my town uses a notebook to take all of their orders at the counter or on the phone. They just date it at the top and start numbering with 1 thru however many orders they have that day. Only the wait staff uses a small order pad. As long as you keep them in the pad (which is what I use also), you won't lose anything.
Look in the gallery for cake order forms:
I use a blank piece of paper. I later write it up and send it to the client for review if we have an order. If not, it stays on the copy paper and gets filed in case the client calls back later. It's my process.

If not, enjoy, really awesome idea
Looks interesting and is certainly exhibiting forward thinking, for a lighter class drone.
Hmmm $915 for preorder, not to shabby.
Not sure what's with the prop guards, are the stabilized with many thin wires?
Snap-hero by taddessi posted Sep 7, 2015 at 9:46 PM
Hey there - I'm a co-founder at Vantage and did the design on those prop guards. The prop guards are in fact stabilized with many thin wires as you say taddessi - 0.012" tempered high carbon steel wire to be precise. They form what is known as a tensegrity structure - basically a form in which all elements are primarily in tension or compression. As you might imagine, materials can be used most efficiently in this form, creating the strongest and most resilient structure for the lightest weight. A bike wheel is a prime example of these structures in use.
We spent over two years creating Snap and are quite excited to release it to the world. Please let us know if you have any more questions!
that is a priceyyeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy piece of drone.....almost the cost of the P3.....I would rather have a P3 with follow me...
The P3 can work for people who don't mind the lack of portability and safety issues. Specifically for the follow me shots, we found open blades on the P3 to be a challenge - we didn't feel comfortable having a product that could severely injure someone flying without a pilot.
Hi Tobin, thanks for joining us, and congratulations for creating such an innovative product. Really impressive specs, and the future accesories like sensors, thrust and ground modules are definitely raising the bar in this industry. Hopefully I will be able to experience a Snap flight in the near future.
I was just curios, as I could not find the information on your website, what is the maximum operating distance of Snap, from pilot controller to aircraft at the moment, without range extender ?
Thanks Mani. Maximum range is 200 meters, although we quote 150 meters in the specs, as it gets much less reliable above that. Our experience is that we do almost all of our manual control flying within 50 meters and pre-programmed missions work better for going bigger (Snap can go out to over 1000 meters in pre-programmed missions).
Just so we can improve our website, were you unable to find the specs page or unable to find the range spec on the specs page? We want to make sure our website in really clear and try to fix whatever prevented you from seeing this.
They do make blade guards for the P3....hello....it's the price that I think will be the issue ...
Our experience with the blade guards is that they are fine for protecting the blades, but nearly useless for protecting people. Here's a good example ->
Tobin, I have to admit it was not easy to find the specs, faq page, as the menu is somehow hidden at the bottom of the page, and the main impression of the website is that more information is about to be added later.
However, once you click on that menu button, evertyhing is well organized and you can find all the needed information about this machine.
The only thing I could not find was range distance, I will check again to see if it was my mistake and the information was availbale from the start.
Thank you for your fast reply and I really hope you will achieve great success with Snap, it's really an innovative product and it deserves appreciation.
Good luck, looking forward to spring 2016
P3 is an amazing piece of technology, but that does not mean Snap can't be either considered a great product. I would not compared them, as this product is in many aspects different and unigue as design, features etc.
I recently did several filmings for the longest paddling tour in the world, Tour International Danubien, using my beloved Inspire and GH4/Ronin-M. Snap would have been a great companion in the cockpit of my kayak, there were several places, especcialy on the Danube Delta, close to the Black Sea, where it would have been really helpful. I think you should see Snap as an add-on to your aerial filming gear, not as a replacement. A different approach, time will tell if it would be succesful or not, according to specs and features I think they are on the right path.
A minus from me for this statement just because I dont believe you would take care if you could earn money with it. Sorry just doesnt sound honest so what should I think of the rest?
Anyway its a nice small drone but unreasonable phantasyprice is it really USD 915,- not USD 195,- ? Or is the camera so much better then anything else out there?
Surprisingly you can even carry the inspire very easy for hiking but not the P3, its not so much the size and they are all not really heavy its more about the legs.
I like it.

Balance and UnBalance
This is an balance force because its not moving.
This is an balances force because when the forces on the rocks on top of each other produce a net force of 0 N, the forces are balanced.
This is a balance force because everything is depending on the one thing that the building is balancing on that is the ground.
This is an unbalance force because the egg is tipped over on the wall.
This is an unbalance forces because when the net force of the scale is not 0 N, the forces are unbalanced.
This is an unbalanced force because the boat is in motion. It could be a change in its speed or direction or both.

The Tuesday 10 List – 10 Fun Fall Activities
The seasons are starting to change. The air is getting cooler. As Fall begins, there are fun activities we can only do this time of the year.
10 Fun Activities You Can Enjoy in the Fall
- Roast marshmallows, make smores and tell funny and scary ghost stories around a camp fire.
- Go to A Pumpkin festival. Pumpkin festivals (which are actually more like pumpkin fairs) are a favorite in our family. We love to take family pictures in the pumpkin patch. It's so much fun!
- You can take a walk in the woods and enjoy the changing fall colors and cooler air. Fall brings so many different colors to enjoy.
- You can go on a hayride. Kids love hayrides!
- Find a corn maze in get lost in the tall stalks.
- Harvest time. Find a "you pick" farm and pick your favorite foods. My children love to go to a "you pick" farm and pick fruit and vegetables.
- You could go camping, and sleep under the stars, not in your tent. See how many constellations you can name and stars you can find.
- It's the wonderful time of the year for all things pumpkin. Pumpkin coffee, lattes, pie, shakes, bread, and more… What is your favorite fall pumpkin treat?
- Pumpkin carving contests! Are you a master pumpkin carver?
- It's football season. You can barbecue, watch the games with friends and have a full weekend watching college and professional football! Who is your favorite team? I love my Arkansas Razorbacks and South Florida Bulls.
Your turn…
What are your favorite fall activities?

We love Dharmendra. But there is another kind of species on Earth that do not share the same feelings towards him….because of this:
Yes. We are talking about the Dogs. While some love them, some are scared of them…but no one can hate them. They are loyal; they are playful and bring in happiness into our lives.
So today on National Dog Day, let's have a look at the adorable filmy kutte of Bollywood, who made the movie worth watching with their presence:
1. Pluto Mehra - Dil Dhadakne Do:
Perhaps the only actor that made the movie worth watching and saved us from the torture; and the only member of the Mehra family who made sense was Pluto Mehra. With his cute and lazy expressions along with funny voiceover by Aamir Khan, Pluto became a national rage. So much so, that the makers had to make a Twitter handle by his name to keep his fans entertained.
2. Entertainment - Entertainment:
We all know how loving and loyal dogs can be..and 'Entertainment' was all about loving your dogs! If this film doesn't make you fall in love and crave you to have a pet dog at home, then nothing else would. After the release of this film, everyone wanted to have a Golden Retriever; after all having a dog will convert your life into- "Entertainment, Entertainment and Entertainment."
3. Bhidu - Chillar Party:
You see them on a daily basis while walking on the streets. But maybe you never notice the pain they go through just because they are "stray" dogs and not the pet dogs living inside a house with a loving owner! And 'Chillar Party' was all about that. It was about how a bunch of kids take a step to save their beloved stray dog Bhidu, and all the other dogs out there on the streets, from being wiped out from Mumbai. This movie would make you laugh, sympathize and fall in love with Bhidu.
4. Facebook - Golmaal 3:
Another adorable but mischievous dog, if one Facebook wasn't enough in our lives, Rohit Shetty decided to make another addition! His love for bones (even if it's inside Mithun Chakraborty's pants) and our love for him would never come to an end!
5. Tuffy – Hum Aapke Hain Koun!
A cricket umpire had never been so adorable before this! After the family drama released, every family wanted to have a loving and adorable pet like him. From sipping the cold drink with a straw to running around and making everyone happy, Tuffy was truly the star of the movie!
6. Brownie – Teri Meherbaniyan:
While dogs have been used as supporting actors in movies, here was a movie where he played the leading role and became the star of the movie as the entire movie revolved around him! Brownie won hearts with his performance as the adorable pet that helps the cops to find out the real killer of his owner Ram (played by Jackie Shroff).
Perhaps the best feeling in this world is being with someone whom you love and getting the love back- and that's exactly what happens when you are with a dog whose motto is- Wherever You Go, I'll Follow. *winks*
Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow Bhow
(oh that was the Doggy language….hope you understood what we had to say!)

Do real estates give 3 month leases?
Looking for rent in London.
Asked on Feb 8 2011, Renting in London | Report content
Answers (2)
Sort by: Oldest | Recent | Highest rated
Generally the minimum amount of time for an Assured Shorthold Tenancy is 6 months due to potential complications that may arise when asking a tenant to vacate, however, this can be lowered as long as both parties agree. Technically an Assured Shorthold Tenancy can be created for any length of time.Answered on Feb 8 2011, Report content
It is possible to get a 3 month lease, however this is generally classed as a short -let. By going on a tenancy less than 6 months, this may have an impact on the rental price of the property, and it is also standard practice for all of the rent to be paid in advance on a short let. Hope this helpsAnswered on Feb 11 2011, Report content

I started talking to a guy online recently. He said he's not in a rush to get into anything to deep..I feel the same way so that's not a problem.
We started texting sometime last week and we would text all day everyday.. even while he was at work or I was in class or otherwise occupied. Then he asked to webcam chat.
We did so, on Friday night. During that chat he mentioned us webcam chatting again on Sunday(today)..its his day off from work) TWICE.
He usually would send me a goodmorning text or occasionally I would so I texted him " good morning handsome" on Saturday morning. He has not responded to that nor have I heard from him...
WHAT is going on? help.
Why is he ignoring my text when we talk everyday?

Question: Was video chat the only time he has seen you? Has he seen any pics of you before then?00|00|0
Yes he has seen pictures before webchat. I very much doubt I look completely different than my pics.
I ended up texting him and he said he was really busy that weekend.. Guess I just got rejected. oh well. :(
Yeah, it happens. Someone better will come a long.

I was talking to one of my closest friends before...a smart, funny, beautiful person...and she told me about something that happened to her recently. She left a bar (neither of us are bar fans) and got into a cab...partially to avoid dealing with drunk obnoxious people.
There were two guys in a cab next to her that rolled down the window and said very hurtful things about her...amongst themselves, but knowing full-well she was a couple of feet away and could hear everything they said. They clearly thought they were extremely funny.
She went home extremely upset, and she took these guys' comments to heart...who were these guys to her, anyway? They were strangers. They were drunk strangers. They were drunk idiotic strangers.
However, I didn't think she was silly for letting it get to her...because I know that I would have reacted the same exact way.
Which leads me to ask...WHY DO WE DO THIS TO OURSELVES? (And why do boys seem perfectly capable of not letting things upset them?)
How come rude words from a couple of drunken morons have the power to wipe away every other nice thing anybody has ever said to you? Our friends tell us they love us...that we're wonderful just the way we are...and yet something like that makes us cry.
Last week, I saw a girl I went to high school with in the grocery store.
I haven't seen her since we graduated, and I haven't thought about her in years. We weren't friends. We did, however, sit at the same lunch table in the 9th grade. One day, a note she had written was "leaked". (Another girl in my math class found it and handed it to me. She HIGHLIGHTED THE PARTS THAT WERE ABOUT ME before she handed it to me...looking back, I think her actions were equally screwy as the following...)
This girl had written a two-page note to her "BFF" trashing every girl at our lunch table.
(I wonder WHY she was sitting with a bunch of trolls that she felt so superior to?)
She didn't say anything bad about my personality or my brains...she couldn't, since she barely knew me. We had never even really had a conversation...but she DID attack my appearance. She said very nasty stuff about my body, my hair, my clothes.
I cried all day after I read that note.
The second I saw that girl in the grocery store, that all came flooding back. I remembered that insanely insecure fourteen-year-old girl who had to read about how fat she was, how frizzy and disgusting her hair was, how she shopped at Motherhood Maternity. (Yup. She said that.)
Honestly, I really don't believe that people change that much from when they are teenagers to adults. I think we're basically the same as we were. I think my worst and best qualities are the same exact ones I had fifteen years ago. I think this girl, being so nasty and hurtful and thinking she was being clever, grew-up into somebody who would insult somebody sitting in a cab and laugh at her own jokes. I'm sure she doesn't remember that day in the 9th grade…but I do. I always will.
I don't get it.
Maybe I should be grateful to experiences like that. They made me very sensitive to cruelty. As much as others' words can upset me, I also know that I would never say or do anything to intentionally hurt somebody else.
I think that counts for something.
I hate that we live in such a shallow world. I hate that all it takes is a few words from an idiot on the street to ruin our day.
And I, most of all, hate that I don't know how to let it not bother me, especially so I could teach the fantastic friends I have in my life not to let it bother them either.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-619) Unify Map-Reduce and Streaming to take the same globbed input specification
|Tue, 05 Dec 2006 19:42:23 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-619?page=comments#action_12455739 ] Sanjay Dahiya commented on HADOOP-619: -------------------------------------- These changes cause TestEmptyJobWithDFS test to fail as in that no of input files is 0. with new changes Job fails if there are no input files in the inputs paths after glob expansion. Do we need the ability to run empty jobs or do we want to specify some extra flag stating input not needed for the job? The test case will need to be changed then as well. Comments? > Unify Map-Reduce and Streaming to take the same globbed input specification > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-619 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-619 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: eric baldeschwieler > Assigned To: Sanjay Dahiya > > Right now streaming input is specified very differently from other map-reduce input. It would be good if these two apps could take much more similar input specs. > In particular -input in streaming expects a file or glob pattern while MR takes a directory. It would be cool if both could take a glob patern of files and if both took a directory by default (with some patern excluded to allow logs, metadata and other framework output to be safely stored). > We want to be sure that MR input is backward compatible over this change. I propose that a single file should be accepted as an input or a single directory. Globs should only match directories if the paterns is '/' terminated, to avoid massive inputs specified by mistake. > Thoughts? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

My paternal relatives have been taking advantage of every opportunity to get together after my paternal grandfather passed away a few months ago. Lolo used to be the reason why the extended family gets together, usually during hospital visits in Manila. Now that he's gone, any paternal relative's birthday is a reason for our family to spend the day in upland Cavite or in Batangas. I hope it stays that way.
Last weekend, we went to Nasugbu in Batangas for the birthday of one of my young nieces. We spent the night and the rest of the day-after leisurely at Canyon Cove Resort.
I took the opportunity to go around the plaza taking photos while waiting for my companions. After meeting up with my brods and sisses, we proceeded west of Lingayen to Alaminos, where we spent a few moments at the town's docks with the famed Hundred Islands in the horizon. Unfortunately since we only had a day and a few hours to stay in Pangasinan, a Hundred Islands trip was out of the itinerary.

What's new pussycat?
I'm about to go on a 25-city tour of Europe with the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band. But back when I was living in Notting Hill Gate I used to pass this chap who looked pretty interesting - bright jeans, crazy shirts, a ponytail. It was only later I found out it was Tom Jones! Although back then he was still getting in the van; it was before he went meteoric. We've had a long-distance friendship ever since. He was a real rock'n'roll singer, he knew his music and he understood the blues. I went to see him in Vegas not so long ago and he still remembered the strange gangly character that was me. He stopped the show to tell this same story!
Do you remember the first time?
I remember listening to Radio Luxembourg on a crystal radio. No batteries and a very distant signal but it did work, albeit illegally.
Who wants to be a millionaire?
Every Tom, Dick and Harry on the planet but it's not as much fun as you think once you're there. Money was never that important for me. We never had a masterplan to sell records as Fleetwood Mac. With Peter Green, we were just a blues band.
Who's that girl?
Well I was looking for a good place to record with Bob [Welch] one day and in one studio the engineer played us a demo. I saw this girl through the glass and the engineer told me it was actually her singing. So for me it really was like, "Who's that girl?" I had no idea that Bob was about to leave and pretty soon I'd be asking her to join Fleetwood Mac. That girl was Stevie Nicks.
Is it really so strange?
No doubt the Fleetwood Mac stories are more inflated to an observer. But looking back, we did live a strange life. We used to call it "the bubble". And within the bubble, strange things did happen. What's not so strange, though, is that through all the pressure, drug abuse and shenanigans, we were devoted to the music; that's what saved us.
Dude, where's my car?
I actually do have a "Dude, where's my car?" situation. I bought a beautiful right-hand drive 1955 MG TF. My father used to own one so I had it specially done out in tribute to him, with the same red interior. Anyway, I left it in a friend's garage when I went on a road trip and when I got back about a year later, he'd sold it! He was partial to the wild life so I think it was some drug deal or something. Years later I found out it'd been shipped to Cornwall. I couldn't be bothered to track it down but I hope it's safe.
What have I done to deserve this?
That's exactly how I felt presenting the Brit Awards with Samantha Fox! And the fact you're still asking about it 20 years on means I still feel like that. It was the first time the Brits decided not to be a stuffy, black tie event which was a good idea. But the mistake they made was inviting 300 fans of some boyband who were playing down into the front.
Because they screamed throughout the whole show. The teleprompter people couldn't hear a thing. The woman in her 60s who was down in the orchestra pit was supposed to be feeding us stuff but she couldn't hear anything. The runners couldn't even hear their walkie talkies! We were left out to dry, really, and to this day we carry the burden. But I'll tell you this: we were perfect in rehearsal!
Is this it?
It's never it. I'm going to be playing until I drop.

Michele Luck and Jennifer Sloane of 4mulaFun have begun to promote TpT teacher-authors at teacher conferences. It's an awesome opportunity, so I spent the better part of my weekend last week creating a FlapJack promo book. It was actually a very interesting experience to see a sort of culmination of all the resources I have created. One thing is for sure - for better or for worse, I have created a LOT of resources these past few years!
Found this mini notebook and all inserts at Office Depot. I love all things MINI!
Can you see the little nail art flower I added to my hair??
Here's a video of the promo book.
Everything is QR coded inside of the book. If you're interested in QR codes, check out my QR code tutorial page.
I also added QR codes of the promo videos I have made so far of some of my resources at YouTube.
The inserts I found were perfect for adding a few in-the-flesh samples of my resources.
Added a little heart poker, too!
These are actually not all of the pages! Somehow this little book still closes. Hope you enjoyed seeing my little promo book.

I like meeting new people and making friends, I have a terrible sense of humour and I like reading, watching movies, and stuff that 90% of the educated, intelligent and intellectual population of the world like doing.
I am considered to be the "artsy" one, but in all honesty, my love for painting does not make me very knowledgable about art.
I believe in expressing myself, being honest and loving with all I have. I do not like half-hearted attempts at anything and at times, can get really overbearing. Yeah, I am obsessive that way!
Oh! I'm also very, very curious. My questions can get to people more often than not!
The fact that I wear lovely clothes!
Keeping my terrible sense of humour aside, I read a lot, watch a lot of movies and shows and listen to a lot of music. Listing down names would be unfair. So if we get talking, I could tell you
They'd have to be stuff to smoke, stuff to read, people i love, the internet, warm furry creatures and imagination.
Indian men are rather disappointing on sites like this. It may sound offensive, but there have been some rather crude men who've already messaged me (in a matter of a few minutes) about my "white tits" and other such things. I am not a frigid old hag. But I like to be able to choose my partners without getting abused or insulted.
Men need to realize that women are not sex objects and more importantly, sex isn't the only thing that can happen between a man and a woman.
PS- No! I'm not going to meet or sleep with ANY of you without having a nice conversation first!

DRONES more commonly associated with the war on terror are to patrol the skies over Scotland in a bid to eradicate diseases that threaten to wipe out swathes of forest.
The unmanned planes are smaller than conventional drones and armed with high resolution cameras to capture images that will help woodland managers spot telltale signs of fatal fungal infections in trees. (...)
"Only the wide application and routine use of this technology directly by forest managers will enable the technology to deliver its potential benefits, cost effectively," said Ian Thomas, a chartered forester who helped compile the study. "This means every forestry manager having the technology in the boot of their car, and knowing how to use it."

Ok so we have Tohoku Zunko who is voiced by the person who does Ritsu Tianaka from K-ON.
We also have Yosano Yuzu who is voiced by the same VA who does Tsumigi Kotobuki, also from K-ON.
Of course while famous/notable VAs doing voicebanks it's certianly amusing to see K-ON suddenly get a boost in here. Perhaps we can see the whole set? Of course we need Yuzu to get a bank first, which hopefully she may even if private.
Thinking of which it is fairly strange that "5-7-5" only has two lead singers even though 3 would make that bit more sense if you think about it.

Ellie Goulding Covers Hozier's "Take Me to Church"
And it's just as addictive as the original.
Ever since Hozier and his man bun exploded on the scene last year with "Take Me to Church," we haven't been able to get the song out of our heads—and the gorgeous music video featuring ballet bad boy Sergei Polunin in all his tattooed, nearly nude glory only inspired the obsession more. But now, Ellie Goulding is making us fall in love with the single all over again, thanks to this equally catchy, synth-y take on it:
This song will not quit—and we're really okay with that. Who's game to cover it next?

Sometime this week the NH Senate will vote to pass HB 626 and for all intents and purposes end the Right to Know Law as we know it. (For now.)
This action is the culmination of a lot of hard lobbying, and frankly, lying, by members of the sham Right To Know Commission. The NH Municipal Association, now under a new name and NOT under its original purpose has been out to gut RSA 91-A since they themselves became subject to the Right To Know law after a loss to the Manchester Association of Firefighters over the Association's right to NHMA documents. NHMA was deemed a public organization by the State Supreme Court. So this is really an act of self preservation for them.
In any case, this will be interesting to watch as school boards, boards of selectmen and especially school superintendents and town managers test the new limits of their secrecy largess.
CNHT did our part in exposing what the intent of HB 626 was so we have no responsibility for this mess. Actually, we have as much new opportunity as we found in the View Tax. That stupid idea was cooked up by the same type of elitists that are cut from the same mold as the RTK Commission.
The View Tax took a little time to catch hold but it happened and assessing firms that tried to scam taxpayers with a computer program full of garbage have a lot less swagger in them than they did a year ago. They are also under a lot more scrutiny. We have some new faces on the Assessing Standards Board so it will no longer be the refuge of the self-interested it once was.
This time around it will be NHMA that is responsible for the mistrust and contempt taxpayers will have for elected officials who make secret deals with each other. We know how to catch elected officials who cheat and will be glad to show new members how it is done. Then let the local sparks fly.
No NH newspaper will admit we are in the midst of a sizable taxpayer revolt but anyone with a rudimentary understanding of our annual meetings could see coming. It was mentioned at least once in the Boston Globe right after the city elections last November but seems not to be news here.
The next move the RTK Commission will make will be to create new amendments to remove elected officials who betray other officials who they catch cutting back-room deals. Any board member who publicizes intercepted secret emails must be punished by the other members.
Another move by the RTK Commission will be to charge an hourly rate to assemble public documents for taxpayers to make access much more expensive and limit requests. Now, taxpayers often have to go to Superior Court or get elected to office just to get the simplest of records. Case in point, newly elected Dover City Councilor Dave Scott just uncovered an unlawful $3.2 million dollar pay and benefits plan for the Dover Police Chief.
The City Manager, Paul Beecher, who tried to scam taxpayers in that deal split for Kingman Arizona days after the "heist."
Paul Beecher used to be the head honcho at NHMA.
See how much fun this is going to be.

Arizona restaurant patios are teeming with patrons, the stores are filled with holiday decorations, and daytime temperatures have dipped into the 80s. Fall has arrived in Arizona, and that means it's also the beginning of flu season.
Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. The illness causes missed work and school days. In 2010, Americans missed 100 million work days due to flu-related illness, resulting in more than $10 billion in costs to companies' bottom lines.
The best way to protect yourself and reduce your chances of getting the flu this year is to get a flu vaccine. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), everyone who is at least 6 months of age should get a flu vaccine. It is increasingly important to get vaccinated for people who have certain medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes or chronic lung disease, pregnant women, young children under 5 and people 65 and older.
Despite the evidence and recommendations, hundreds of thousands of Arizonans won't get vaccinated this year. Not only does that put your own personal health and well-being at risk, but it increases the chances of your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors getting sick too. Consider the following:
• Getting the shot will not give you the flu. According to the CDC, the flu shot vaccine is made with either inactivated flu viruses (and, therefore, not infectious) or with no flu vaccine viruses at all. Many people report experiencing flu-like symptoms after getting the vaccine, such as muscle pain or weakness, but these symptoms go away after a day or two, and are much less severe than the actual flu.
• Young, healthy people get the flu, too. Influenza does not discriminate against age or healthy habits. Just because you're young or don't typically get sick doesn't mean you can't catch the flu. According to the CDC, people who have the flu can spread it to others from as far as 6 feet away. You can also catch the flu from someone who has yet to exhibit any signs or symptoms of being sick.
• The flu shot is not expensive. In most cases, the cost of a flu shot is covered by your health insurance plan, whether you buy health insurance on your own or are covered through your employer, through Medicare or Medicaid. More employers are now offering free on site flu shot clinics at the office. If you get the flu, the cost of treating it and the potential for missed days of work or school far exceed the cost of the vaccination.
• Getting the flu shot vaccine is fast, easy and convenient. Getting a flu shot takes no more than five minutes. Most neighborhood pharmacies even offer walk-in options, so you don't need to make an appointment. If you are unemployed or your employer doesn't offer flu shots, you can go to your primary care doctor or nearby wellness clinic, most retail pharmacies or contracted flu shot providers. To find a list of flu shot providers near you, visit http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/flushot.htm and enter your ZIP code.
Make your and your family's health a priority this year by getting a flu shot. If you do, you'll likely be able to enjoy that outdoor patio seating and the holidays a little more.
