Obama in Orlando: not a Pat on the back and arms
Seven and a half years of Barack Obama in the White house it was his fifteenth on the spot of the serial murders that shocked the whole of America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. Someone even gave it a terrible and gloomy position — the Supreme Glavmoststroi.

Meeting with the family and friends of the victims of the bandits took place in a huge room close to the gay club ("Pulse", where this event occurred). President Obama hugged everyone and tried to somehow, about their grief, reduce it. It wasn't a Pat on the back. It was a real hug. He told the audience that behind them stands the whole nation, but that his heart is broken.
But the words of Angelica Jones, who performs in the nightclub "Pulse", where the offender killed 49 people and wounded 53: "there were moments when he was choking on tears. And this is understandable. It is difficult to say when all around you cry mother."
Armoured limousine, Obama gave him a ride to and comfortless building where the gathered relatives and friends of the victims last Sunday. There were no cameras, no TV, no photos. Obama entered the building, where hung a heavy spirit of grief of the shocked people.
He barely uttered words of compassion, sympathy, condolences. And embraced all the grieving. His arms will probably remain in the memory of these poor people much more than his words.
President Obama was accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden. They laid for 49 white roses on a makeshift memorial.
Before returning to Washington, Obama turned to reporters with an emotional statement. He said the mountain people, oplakivala their loved ones, will inspire him to new efforts in order to implement restrictions on the carrying of weapons, its sale and use. He said he wants to legalize these measures, which would not allow to happen Sunday tragedy in Orlando.
"As in past times, which was too much, I held in my arms and hug the grieving members of the families. Parents killed, and they asked me, "Why does that keep happening?", — said Obama. They begged the President to commit more and stopped the flow of killings that is sweeping across the country. "Those who defend the easy availability of offensive weapons, have to meet with these families," said Obama.
But it was not only politics. The President played only a formal role, it was something deeply personal. It was felt that he shared the grief of a parent, as a father with two children. "The President understands that he is a symbol of their country. And when he travels around the country and meets with the families who were struck by a terrible tragedy, he is sympathizing and trying to comfort them on behalf of the American people, — said the press Secretary of the White house, Joe Ernest. But it's impossible for him to personally invaded her conversation at the time of such meetings. At the time of such meetings as if he draws strength in his faith." While Obama tried to comfort the grieving, his critics in Washington have accused the President Sunday of the tragedy of what happened in Orlando. So Senator John McCain, Republican from Arizona, his opponent in the presidential election of 2008, told reporters on Capitol hill that Obama is responsible for what happened in Orlando. It was the results of what he allowed the rise of Islamic state (ISIS, ISIL – banned in Russia terroristicheskaya the group) that he is directly responsible.
The President said visits like the one he did in Orlando the most severe in his activities as head of state. I remembered the time when he also reassured parents of young children killed in the school "sandy hook" in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012. It was the hardest day of my presidency," he said then. — But I have had many heavy days." On Thursday, he again and again embraced mourners hugged and closely pressed to his chest, hoping for a sign language more than the words in which he conveyed his condolences. He took time to talk individually with each family and embrace its members.
I recall other days and other years, when Obama met with grieving parents of the victims. "He hugged each of us individually. I mean — hugged, so I could smell his Cologne, " recalls Reverend Sharon Risher, who lost his mother and two cousins during a shootout in Charleston (North Carolina) last year. He didn't Pat me on the shoulder. The intimacy of our embrace will never be erased from my soul". Obama does not regret his time meeting with families of the victims. He listens to more stories by the bereaved. All very intimate and at the same time terrible. He understands that people are disoriented when they meet with the President of the United States in the most difficult moments of his life. These people even forget that they are talking with the President.
School in Newtown in 2012 one mark burden, a seven year old whose son Daniel was killed along with 26 others at sandy hook," said Obama about how important it is that he spent more time with their children. "He looked me in the eye and said, "I now return from prayers." "Mr. Bearden felt awful excitedly. The President looked at me as one hundred percent dad, " recalls Bearden. — He felt his heart, that he's human being and that is exceeds his role as leader of our country."
But the memory of Roxanne green, whose nine-year-old daughter Christina was killed during a shootout in 2011, in the Parking lot of a supermarket in Tucson. "You never want such a President's visit," says Ms. green. "The President has said that her daughter was very beautiful and that he was very sorry that her family has suffered such a loss, and then, with a sigh, he added, that his daughter is about the same age".
Yes, it is difficult to account the Supreme Glavmoststroi, rather Panostamista the United States of America. He swears that he will make resisting the Senate, afraid of the National rifle Association of America more than its President, to enact the necessary laws to restore order in the acquisition and carrying of firearms. However, he brought the same vows already 14 times. Oath, which he brought to Orlando fifteenth.

A/N: A lot of people will recognize this widely popular fanfic and realize it is not mine, the original author Talent Scout let me have this. You see in Match I watched "Pokemon scent- sation!", the first episode I ever watched and really paid attention to what was going on. In case you're wondering I was seven when I saw my first episode of Pokemon "Haunter vs Kadabra". But I only caught the final battle and not knowing what was going on I cheered at that time for Kadabra. This is probably why Erika and Sabrina are my favorite two gym leaders and overall favorites. It was the first time in years I watched classic Pokemon which used to be my life when I was little and it inspired me and then later and I remembered this story. When I re-found it after which I wrote a personal message to Talent Scout asking him to continue before I read the description and saw it was discontinued. Talent Scout messaged me back and told me he had left fanfiction and his stories were up for grabs after which he said I was given this before anyone else and I used this to call dibs on this and "She's what!" I am not stealing this story I have the author's full permission and if you don't believe me you can ask him yourself. This is the official relaunch of "Ash and Misty's house party". It took me six months but I've finally gotten back to it thanks to some self-motivation and the same episode I watched in March. Anyway for people who have not read the original this story contains some nasty language and sensual scenes so be warned. This is an AU in Togetic has stayed with Misty. Ash and Misty are seventeen here.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon it is the property of Nintendo.
"Ash, dear, I have to tell you something really important!" Miss Ketchum called up to her son.
"Okay mom. On my way." Ash yelled back before calling to his female company "Misty, I'll be right back. I just have to talk to mom for a second."
"Okay, Ash" Misty called from her room adjacent to his, "Just tell me when you're ready to leave."
Ash went down to the kitchen and met his mom in the living room.
"Guess what?" Miss Ketchum asked her son.
"What?" responded her son in a clueless manner.
"I'm going to Japan!" his mother practically yelled full of excitement.
"You are!" Ash said in an upbeat tone, "Why are you going there?"
My company is planning to merge with Japanese corporation up there. If it goes well it means more jobs for Pokemon Island." replied the matriarch, "Plus, we may get increases in our salaries! We might be able to afford one of those new luxury vehicles!"
"Cool! Having more jobs would be great for us!" said the boy enthusiastically.
"I know. I'll be leaving at six in the morning to catch my flight so you may not see me leave. I'll be gone for a week but I'll be sure to call in everyday to check in on you and Misty." said Miss Ketchum.
"Okay, mom. We'll, we're leaving to go to the Pallet Mall. Do you mind?" asked the trainer.
"No. But be back by 9: 00 so your diner doesn't get cold, all right?" came the answer.
"Sure thing, I'm just going to check if Misty is ready to go and we are outta here." said Ash and he raced up the stairs and after seeing his mother nod approvingly he was out of her sight.
Ash quickly reached the door to Misty's room, "Are you ready yet?"
"Just a minute" the orange-haired girl responded.
Ash waited outside her door and a moment later she emerged in a cyan-colored tank top which clung right tight to her medium chest and tight blue jeans that showed the shapeliness and mussels in her legs. Her orange hair was undone and flowed freely to her shoulder.
Ash did not catch himself staring at his closest friend and neither did Misty.
"I'm ready." said Misty in a cheeky manner.
"Well." Ash said after taking a moment to recover ,"Let's go to the mall."
"I agree" said Misty " I am in of some new outfits."
After saying goodbye to Miss Ketchum the duo hoped in Ash's convertible and drove to the Pallet mall.
The Pallet mall was the Pokemon island equivalent of the "Mall of America", five floors of shopping and madness that made Princess Day seem like a joke. Everything you could think of was just buying steps away thanks to the mall navigation. As soon as the two got into the parking lot and saw the ample parking spaces both of them knew there was a surprisingly low amount of patrons today.
Once they got in the two split up to do personal shopping and decided to meet at the food court that evening. Ash made a withdrawal from his ATM and then headed over to the Audio/Video store to make the last payment on his home theater shelf system. After he went to the Pokemon nutrition center to buy some things for Pikachu and Togetic.
Mist went to Fredrick's of Hollywood to make the final payment on a lingerie purchase she made a while ago. Misty had made a good amount of money in the last few months, she was runner up in the Miss Fitness Pokemon Trainer contest and held a steady job as a Pokemon nurse. After collecting her lingerie she pressed on to expand her wardrobe. Shopping had always made Misty feel renewed not to mention finding something to test Ash's hormones which she had been dying to do.
"He is going to DIE when he sees me in this!" said girl exclaimed excited.
"I agree." said the fashion assistant genuinely "You do look stunning and if your friend is it knocked of his feet then you need a new friend."
"Well I'm hooked. Do you mind if I wear it out of the store?' asked the water type trainer.
"Go ahead and fell free to knock that poor boy off his feet." said the assistant.
"Oh than you so much!" said Misty who then took of to find Ash.
Ash had been waiting at the food court for Misty. He checked his watch and saw the time was 7: 52. through the sunglasses he had bought. Ash had had a good day, the shelf system would be dropped off in the morning complete with CD's and he bought food for his Pokemon. He also bought a pair of black sunglasses for himself. When he saw what Misty had bought and was now wearing the lenses in his sunglasses almost broke.
Misty was wearing a short black jacket over a black blouse that showed of her abdomen and the top of her chest. Her straight orange hair seemed to sparkle against the raven blackness. Misty also had a small-black mini skirt of the same color with slits that hugged her thighs and showed off her long and almost exposed legs. To complete the outfit she had a nice pair off heeled designer shoes. It all added up to a pleasant sight to Ash.
"Misty..." began Ash who was at a loss of words,"You look...spectacular."
"Thank you" said Misty who then asked, "Did you get everything you need?"
"Yeah, I got everything. What about you?" he replied still dumbfounded
"I do now" said Misty with a devilish look on her face as she walked towards Ash. Misty then took off her jacket revealing her soft and slightly arms which she wrapped around Ash's neck , Misty had Ash right were she wanted him.
"What...are...you...doing...Misty?" asked a confuse Ash who prevented form saying anything more.
"Your about to find out." after which she pressed her warm lips against Ash's in a passionate kiss that lasted a minute but felt like forever.
After a few seconds Misty spoke first, "You have been such a good friend all these years I have known you and that was my way of showing my appreciation."
Ash was speechless and was looking around for a place to sit. Knowing that Misty was thankful to him the boy couldn't help but shed a tear.
Misty saw and wiped it away with a warm hand "Why are you crying Ash?" as she removed the tear from his cheek.
"I didn't know you cared for the things I did." he began "It makes me cry because...that's all I have ever wanted from someone. Someone like... you. Now that I have it I don't know what to do!"
"Don't worry Ash, I have you and you have me, we have each other. Let me help you up." said Misty
"You mean we REALLY have each other?'' said the boy.
"Do I have to spell it out for you Ash: I LOVE YOU!" said Misty that while loud enough to get through was still caring, she found Ash's clueless moments attractive.
Ash had no capacity to speak but got out an appropriate phrase "I...love...you...too."
"Oh Ash!" exclaimed Misty who kissed Ash again with more meaning.
The next morning Ash was awoken my a kiss and he quickly decided it was nice to be woken in the morning by a kiss from your girlfriend. Ash awoken to the soft and smiling face of his girlfriend not his mother, but was the difference except his mother didn't wear a night shirt.
"I see you slept well." said ash braking free of his tired state.
"I see you have too Ashy." came the warming reply from Misty who then sat on the bed making the Pallet town trainer blush.
"Morning my goddess." said the boy who sat up and joined Misty by her side then putting a hand on Misty's face which made her blush as Ash's hands were soft and not callous as she expected.
"Well, me and Mimey are going to make breakfast." said the male "Do you mind washing Pikachu?"
"Not problem Ash." Misty responded then the two embraced in a bear hug which lasted a full minute before breaking as Ash went down stairs to complete the task usually done by his now absent mom. Ash made a smorgasbord. Reading fro his mother's recipes he decided to be extra extravagant this morning. He made rice, a western omelet, pancakes, hash browns, steamed parsley, and turkey sausage patties. Mimey had made the batters for the omelet and pancakes, after which he took the initiative to set the table and retrieve utensils. Once that was complete he went over to the refrigerator and got orange juice, butter, ketchup, milk and apple juice.
Meanwhile upstairs Misty had just finished her bath and now it was time to put Pikachu and Togetic
in and well he normally hated water Pikachu made an exception any time it was with one of his friends and unbeknownst to the two trainers both of them were aware of Ash and Misty's relationship.
As Misty and the two pokemon went down stairs they were greeted with the aroma of a banquet.
"Smells good down here" said Misty as she walked down the stairs. "Did you cook this food all by yourself?"
"No, Mimey helped a lot." said Ash.
Pikachu and Togetic wasted no time climbing on the table and after tying their bibs chowing down while Misty watched in amazement.
"What's wrong Misty? Aren't you going to eat?" asked Ash wondering why she wasn't eating.
"I will. It's just I've never seen those two so happy to eat before." answered Misty who then laughed, "I think the aroma got to them."
"I guess I can cook as well as I can train Pokemon." said Ash.
"Of course you can Ash." said Misty as she leaded in and kissed her boyfriend for a minuet before breaking, "Besides those pancakes looking appealing. You could really give Brock a run for his money."
"Um...thanks Misty." said Ash embarrassed and surprised how well things had turned out. The omelet was scrumptious, the rice perfectly steamed, and the sausage was moist and tender. Mimey agreed while eating his pancake.
After breakfast finished the Pokemon volunteered to clean up while Ash showered and Misty from her pajamas into a work outfit. Today they were going to the Pallet Gym for some friendly sparring practice and Pokemon training.
"I hope Misty doesn't kill me." Ash said as he toweled off. He knew the fiery redhead had been training in martial arts recently and he was weary of facing her hand-to-hand. He wasn't sure if he would survive these next three hours after his own girlfriend was done with him.
Ash dodged a lightning-quick spinning heel kick from Misty. He countered with a leg sweep putting Misty on her back. Misty quickly sprung up and attacked fast with a stomach jab which she followed with a knife hand to the neck and a high side kick all of which connected and sent Ash to the floor.
"What happened to defense Ash?" asked Misty tauntingly.
"I'm working on it." answered Ash as he got up.
Misty lunged at him with a middle side kick which Ash dodges but Ash is then caught by a trap heel kick. Ash quickly got up and thought he saw an opening when Misty still had her back turned but before he could move Misty knocked him to the ground using a swift spinning kick. When Ash got up he was seeing stars. He didn't think Misty's kick packed that much power.
"Come on Ash!" taunted Misty as she yawned, "If you're not going to fight me it's fine but just say so."
"Believe me, I'm not done." countered Ash as he went on the offensive.
Ash shot a trio of jabs and ended with a roundhouse kick but Misty dodged every punch and grabbed Ash's ankle as he went for the kick. She then quickly whipped him to the ground with a dragon screw leg whip. After getting up Ash tried a side kick into leg sweep but Misty ducked and nailed him with a roundhouse kick. Ash got an idea as he got back up. He tried two lunge elbows both of which were blocked and then went for a fake uppercut. When Misty positioned her right hand to block the uppercut Ash grabbed it and threw Misty over his shoulder and to the ground.
"How was that?" asked Ash tauntingly as he jumped around and threw jabs into the air showing full commitment to his Muhammad Ali impersonation.
"You finally got me." said Misty impressed as she got up and attacked.
Misty attempted palm heel to face, a fierce body blow and knife edge chop channeling "Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Ash dodged all of these but Misty got him with a right fist to the back of the head. Misty went for a right hook but Ash caught her wrist and kicked in the midsection sending her back a few feet. Misty quickly recovered and attacked with a double spin side kick first aiming high and then. Ash blocked both moves but Misty landed a straight right knee into Ash's spleen.
"Ha! Gotcha ya!" called Misty triumphantly.
"Okay. But now try this!" called back a determined Ash.
Ash rolled towards Misty ad attacked with a spinning sweep which surprised Misty and sent her flying to the ground. Misty got up and came in with a downward knife hand with her left hand, an upward knife hand to the neck with her right hand, a midsection front kick, and ending with a midsection roundhouse kick. Ash was barely able to avoid all four power moves but he did and connected with rapid jabs to Misty's face, a roundhouse kick to her thigh, and finished with a uppercut to her jaw all of which connected and sent her back. While Ash was opposed to hitting girls and didn't feel great about fighting Misty he did enjoy the fact he was winning.
"Do I have skills or what?" boasted Ash.
"Now I'm getting pissed!" snapped Misty as she stood up.
"Good. You're really cute when when you get like that." replied Ash.
Misty charged in with an elbow to Ash's chest which he blocked but she did land knee into Ash's stomach dazing him. Using this opening Misty grabbed threw her right arm round Ash's neck and grabbed his tight and then mustering strength only she could find Misty dropped Ash on his head with a T-bone suplex reminiscent of Tazz. Ash really regretted watching those old pro-wrestling matches from the late 1990s with Misty now.
"Ash?" asked Misty concerned as her boyfriend seemed unconscious after that.
After he didn't respond Misty went over to Ash's side. When she bent down to help him up Ash flipped her over sending he ten feet. Misty landed hard but got up quickly and gave Ash a death glare. The menacing look stopped Ash dead in his tracks with his mouth hanging open. Misty knew she could have finished him with her Tsunami kick but she decided to stop the fighting as neither had much energy left in them.
"Let's call it a day." she said hoarsely.
"Yeah." agreed Ash.
After their training they headed home with a rejuvenated Pikachu on Ash's shoulder and refreshed Togetic alongside Misty.
"So how long will your mother be away?" asked Misty as the party arrived back at Ash's house.
"A week." answered Ash as he entered and plopped down on the couch.
"Good." answered Misty, "You know Ash, I was thinking of something special we can do while we have the house to ourselves."
"Like what?" asked Ash.
"We haven't seen a lot of our friends in a while and I was think maybe we could have a little...get together." said Misty trying to find the right words.
"You mean like a house party." said Ash.
"Yeah." said Misty enthusiastically, "You wouldn't have a problem with that would you?"
"Well I was actually thinking of catching more Pokemon." answered Ash honestly but when he noticed Misty getting into her fighting stance he changed his tune, "But a house party would be time better spent."
"Thank you!" said Misty overjoyed as she hugged the still sore Ash who wondered if a beat down would be less painful.
"Okay, so who are we going to invite?" asked Misty as she sat in the chair next to Ash.
"Well Brock is a must. He's always been there with us." answered Ash.
"I agree." said Misty, "We should also invite that breeder who gave him his Vulpix."
"Suzy." said Ash, "She's still dating Zane so he'll be here too."
"Who else?" asked Misty.
"Let's invite Richie too." said Ash and Misty agreed.
"What about that girl from the movie Psyduck was in? Katrina?" asked Misty glad her slow-witted Pokemon hadn't appeared when she said his name.
"Sure." said Ash.
"We should invite a few gym leaders too. " stated Misty.
"Gym leaders?" asked Ash confused.
"I was thinking of Erika and Sabrina." said Misty.
"Not not those two." protested Ash.
"Why not?" asked Misty.
"Erika will bring some smelly perfume that will make me sick and Sabrina will use her psychic powers to mess with us. Remember she did turn you and Brock into dolls?" answered Ash.
"But me and Erika are close friends and you did save her Gloom from that fire. As for Sabrina she has changed a lot since you and Haunter helped her to break her the obsession she had with her own powers." countered Misty.
"She's remembers from that long ago?" asked surprised Ash.
"She's psychic. Psychics never forget" answered Misty.
"Yeah you're right. Okay we can invite them." said Ash, "Besides maybe we can them drunk and see how far things go."
You idiot!" yelled Misty as she punched Ash in the shoulder. Misty knew the rumors about Erika and Sabrina being more than friends but she had never inquired. It's not that Misty didn't support that lifestyle it's just she didn't think it right to pry into someone's private matters.
"Sorry." apologized ash as he rubbed his shoulder.
"We should invite Florinda Showers. She would love to meet Erika. Both use grass type and they have Gloom so they would get along well. And of course she'll bring her boyfriend Potter. They really make a cute couple." said Misty.
"Yeah. We should invite Stella." said Ash as he watched Mimey hanging clothes to dry outside.
"Yeah and Duplica too." said Misty.
"Who?" asked Ash.
"The Ditto master." answered Misty.
"Oh yeah. Hey if we invite A. J. we could try and get them to hook up." said Ash.
"Speak of hooking up we should invite Ralph and Emily. I heard both their Nidoran have evolved into their final forms." said Misty.
"Hey we should invite Mikey and his brothers and Sakura and her sisters. Maybe we can get them together so they'll be a huge Eevee family." proposed Ash.
"Not a bad idea." replied Misty, "Any more ideas?"
"Well we could invite Lara Laramie." suggested Ash.
"Good idea." said Misty, "We should invite Jeanette Fisher too."
"Oh yeah that girl I beat in the last preliminary round of the Indigo Plateau League." said Ash remembering her.
"Okay." said Misty.
"What about the Samurai from the Viridian Forest? He can bring his bug type?" suggested Ash trying to creep out his girlfriend.
"Absolutely not!" yelled Misty causing Ash to smirk as he knew his plan had worked.
"I'm going to hate myself for this but we should invite Giselle." said Misty not believing she had just said that.
"Well she has been a lot better. Especially since she's been dating Joe." said Ash.
"That's true admitted Misty.
"I think we should invite Gary. He is my friend now." said Ash who added., "Oh and Paul."
"Oh yeah your new rival." said Misty, "What about your friends Dawn, Max and May."
"Yeah Dawn and Paul would be great together if they could put their egos aside." said Ash.
"If we invite May then we should invite Drew as well." suggested Misty.
"Yeah we they would be great together too." said Ash understanding his girlfriend, "Oh and Todd. I haven't see him in ages."
"What about Casey?" asked Misty who then knew she had to elaborate when she saw the dumbfounded look on Ash's face, "The rabid Electabuzz baseball team fan."
"Oh yeah sure." said Ash remembering her, "We can't forget Tracey either."
"Yeah you're right!" proclaimed Misty, "I think that's enough people."
"True. Last thing we want is Officer Jenny breaking up the party. If mom found about this she would kill us." said Ash rubbing his neck.
"Can I borrow your convertible?" asked Misty as she stood up, "I want go and make the invitations."
"Sure just make sure you fill the gas tank." said Ash as he threw the keys at Misty which she easily caught.
"Fine. Just keep an eye on the Pokemon." said Misty as she kissed Ash on the cheek and left.
With his girlfriend gone, Ash waited on the porch for his shelf system to arrive that he had finished paying for last night at the mall. The operations system made Ash drool more than the thought of Misty in a see-thru dress: a ten-disk CD changer, Dolby Digital surround sound, CD reading and writing abilities.
"An hour left until delivery." said Ash anxious.
Meanwhile upstairs Pikachu and Togetic were upstairs in Misty's wardrobe checking out what she had bought last night. (A/N: The Pokemon are talking in Pokemon language but this is translated. This will be the case throughout the story but will be less common after I take over in chapter three.)
"Check out all this cool stuff! Misty really know how to shop for good stuff!" shouted Pikachu.
"Cool it Pikachu. You don't want Ash to know we're in here or what we're doing." whispered Togetic.
"Okay but Misty has a wardrobe to die for." said Pikachu, "Where are her bikinis?"
"We'll get to those latter." answered Togetic as it opened Misty's closest door.
"Oh...my...God." stammered Pikachu.
"I agree with that." added Togetic as she and Pikachu stared at a skimpy lace black bra and panties.
"It has to be lingerie! Misty's trying to seduce Ash! She's going to enslave him!" proclaimed Pikachu.
"No she's not." corrected Togetic, "She's just going to have a little bit of fun with him and show him that she loves him."
"Are you sure?" asked Pikachu.
"Yeah she wouldn't have sex with him on the second night. Misty is a respectable woman who will wait until she's ready." said Togetic.
"I want to be sure." said Pikachu.
"How?" asked Togetic.
"We can hook up his mom's camera and hide it somewhere they can't see it." said Pikachu.
"Alright." said Togetic reluctantly, "But Misty will be home any minute so we have to hurry."
"Let's hurry." said Pikachu as he and Togetic hurried.
Later that night night Ash had finished setting his new new shelf system while Togetic and Pikachu where pretending to be asleep so they could hit the 'record' button and film what was about to occur.
"Okay. He won't resist me in this. I'll grab his attention in the blink of an eye." said Misty who had been saying encouraging things to her reflection in the bathroom mirror for a half hour, "I just hope I don't overload his hormones."
Misty softly giggled and made her way to her boyfriend's bedroom carefully not to make a sound. Ash was sitting on his bed in deep thought. He had never been in love before so he didn't know what to do about it. He loved her and she felt the same. He had great Pokemon, great friends and was a respectable Pokemon League Champion. Ash was truly amazed how well things were going for him. Ash knew he had flaws but he also worked to fix them. Things were rapidly changing for the better. Then there was Misty, she had only followed him because she was angry Pikachu wrecked her bike though she blamed him. but she eventually forgot about it and became friends. Hell he even replaced her bike out of his own pocket. Overtime their friendship turned into something more and now they were dating. To Ash she was nothing more than a living beauty. She was kind, caring and beautiful. She would give her life for her friends or Pokemon.
"Ash." came a seductive voice from the doorway causing Ash to snap out of his trance and notice Misty standing in the doorway in lingerie, her hair undone and a sly grin on her face.
"Misty?" asked a stunned Ash, "You look...amazing!"
"I'm the girl of your dreams." said Misty seductively as she walked over to Ash and sat down next to him.
"Wow." said Ash dazed.
"I'm all yours. Don't fear your goddess." said Misty as she leaned over and began to kiss Ash who willingly reciprocated.
After a minute they broke and Ash began to rub Misty's back. It was slow at first but the pace picked as Ash got more comfortable. Misty removed his shirt and began rubbing his bare chest while Ash's hands explored other parts of Misty's body. Misty began to caress Ash's face while Ash passionately kissed Misty on the neck lasting several minuets.
"Ash, I think we stop Ash." said Misty stopping the event.
"Why?" asked Ash slightly disappointed.
"I'm not ready." confessed Misty.
"I understand." said Ash respecting his girlfriend's decision. Misty and Ash kissed one last time before the former returned to her room.
"See, I told you they wouldn't have sex." said Togetic.
"I'm glad I recorded everything." said Pikachu causing Togetic to sigh before leaving to join her trainer.
A/N: So there is chapter one. This chapter and chapter two are, like I said, basically the same as the original two just fixed. When I take over at chapter three they will be shorter and the conversations between Togetic and Pikachu will be less common. I'm going to try to get chapter two up by Christmas and Chapter three by Spring. The best way to keep in touch to subscribe. The relationship between Ash and Misty will remain the main focus of this story. They might or might not play matchmaker during the party but I'm not saying. Next time the party planning will begin and a few other faces appear. Please review!

Quiz App: default results page is shown instead of the Custom Results pageAsked by adrianmartins on September 09, 2015 at 04:04 PM
My quiz app works, returns questions and answers and the score, but I don't see a check mark or red X by wrong questions? I thought that was a default feature? I may have used a custom page but I rather have your default showing right and wrong answers and score rather than mine. How can I re-do or make it all work?
I have made a test submission on your form in order to see how your landing page is set up, and I can see that it does have a check-mark or X next to answers - they are just very far on the right, and need to be scrolled to in order to see them:
This is caused by the signature field, as it is passing an image of the signature to the Quiz App. The Quiz App then converts that image into text (a data URI), and shows the images as a very long string of text - which makes the quiz results page very wide.
I have tried using the Custom Results page and removing the row with the signature, but it didn't have any effect on the Results page shown:
I can see that the setting is saved by opening the Quiz App editor later, and the signature row is still gone from this editor, but it has no effect on the actual result page shown. I am raising it to our developers to check if there is possibly a bug preventing the custom results page from appearing, or if I'm misunderstanding how the editor is supposed to work.
We will let you know through this thread if we have any news regarding this.
As a possible workaround, if you do not need to collect signatures on your form, you may consider removing or hiding the signature field from your form users. I hope this helps.

Hi, this has now been fixed. Signature fields will display properly and not break the answers display.
Please let us know if you have any other queries or issues.

It was the early Eighties and we had just gotten our first VCR. Immediately I set out to find all those movies I had only heard or read about. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was at the top of my list, but it was always checked out at my local video store. I pestered them night and day and eventually just left my phone number so they could ring me when it was in. Finally they called, and it was mission accomplished, baby! Upon watching it, a few things became apparent — The movie itself looked as if it had been bootlegged onto a tape rather than released by a filmmaker. It all seemed shockingly real, and the poor quality of the image added to its mystique. This was cinema off the rails and out of control. I never returned the tape. In fact, I still have it. (Side note to any of the folks from Madajo's Video in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, who might happen to be reading — screw you and your late fees! That's what you get for not stocking Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things!)
Now that we're well into the digital age, DVD is giving way to the new high definition medium of Blu-ray technology. In full 1080p movies can look astounding. You can see every single detail of a frame that you may never have noticed before. Even the sound mixes (of which there are three included here) are light years ahead of those from days gone by. Yet, here is a film that screams to be watched under the worst of circumstances. All the grain of the original 16mm film gave the movie that gritty documentary type feel that absolutely cannot be replicated, even in this advanced day and age (sorry, Platinum Dunes). So the question beckons — in 1080p does the original Chain Saw lose some of its charm?
The happy answer is no. Not even close. True, some of the natural image distorting elements like dust specks, scratches, and some grain have been removed from the transfer for its restoration, but you won't be missing them. The main reason why is that despite these necessary omissions, the movie still retains every single ounce of its tension-filled, claustrophobic feel. The difference is that you can now see the onscreen horrors so much clearer. The colors are alive, breathing, and more vibrant than you would ever expect. At first glance it's fairly jaw-dropping. This adds a bit more of an unexpectedly nightmarish and surreal quality to things, but never — and this is important — never to the point that elicits distraction. The film we love so very much is still heartily intact, and even the staunchest cinema purists out there will find little to complain about.
The movie now sounds as good as it looks, too. The 5.1 surround mix will envelope you in the terror like never before. Your nerves will be sufficiently jangled as every shriek of terror and rev of the saw fills your room with unparalleled realism. It can't be explained. It just needs to be experienced. Wow.
Other than the sound and picture quality, there's also one new Blu-ray exclusive featurette to be found here: Off the Hook with Teri McMinn in which we get a pretty entertaining interview with the first chick to ever get lovingly slammed down upon old Leather's favorite kitchen hook. For more insight concerning the rest of the plentiful special features included in this package, read The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Ultimate Edition DVD review here!
Dark Sky Films has pulled off quite a feat. They've taken an already incredible film and turned it into a unique and fresh viewing experience. Sitting through The Texas Chain Saw Massacre like this is akin to watching it again for the very first time. It's truly eye-popping in its ghastly beauty, and if you're a Blu-ray owner, there's now a really good reason to get all revved up!

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – One of the standouts on the Plymouth State University men's basketball team was recognized by the Little East Conference Monday for his performance in PSU's only game last week.
Sophomore forward Andreas Pope (Brooklyn, N.Y.) has been selected LEC Men's Basketball Player of the Week after reaching career highs in a 97-86 Panther victory last Tuesday at Castleton State. After a terrific rookie campaign, Pope has picked up this season from where he left off last winter, when he was one of the top players in the LEC.
A 6'1" forward, Pope reached career highs with 28 points and 13 rebounds in 29 minutes Tuesday against Castleton State as the Panthers captured the rematch of last year's NCAA Tournament First-round game. He drained 12-of-14 from the floor and added a blocked shot and a team-high five assists. Pope led the LEC in field goal percentage last season when he connected on a school-record 61.1 percent of his shots.
Pope and the Panthers are back in action Tuesday (Nov. 30) at the annual Jacob's Bridge Through Autism Classic, hosted by the New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord. PSU will meet Colby-Sawyer at 7:30 p.m., following the 5:30 p.m. match-up between Keene State and New England College.
After a non-conference doubleheader Thursday (Dec. 2) at Salem State College (women at 6:00 p.m., men at 8:00 p.m.), PSU's basketball teams begin Little East action this Saturday (Dec. 4) in the home opener at Foley Gymnasium against Rhode Island College (women at 1:00 p.m., men at 3:00 p.m.).

The Cost of Emotions in the Workplace
Bottom Line Value of Emotional Continuity Management
Vali Hawkins Mitchell, Kristen Noakes-Fry
Member Price: $39.95List Price: $39.95
- Workplace culture
- risk analysis
Deadly workplace violence may grab headlines, but in this dynamic new business book Dr. Vali Hawkins Mitchell cautions C-Suite Executives and Line Managers that ignoring the impact of employee emotions in the workplace is a recipe for disaster. "The effects of emotions in the workplace are significant and measurable," she warns, emphasizing it's your fiscal responsibility to realize that emotions cost your company money! Managing emotions cannot be the sole domain of the HR Department. Everyone up and down the organization can benefit from learning how to productively manage and channel workplace emotions.
This important new book in the rising field of Emotional Continuity Management (ECM) clearly outlines how emotionally-charged situations, when mismanaged or unaddressed, can have a calculable, direct impact on the fiscal bottom line.
Dr. Vali, a Certified Traumalogist, coins the term "emotional tornado" to describe the cumulative effect of escalating, emotionally-charged human energy as it develops a life of its own with the potential for rampant destruction. Caused by circumstances in a person s private or work life, an individual s emotions have the potential of spinning out of control. Financial costs to the organization can range from simple to profoundly complex - ultimately affecting productivity, company loyalty, absenteeism, healthcare costs, and managerial time, all of which contribute to a toxic work environment.
In this book, you will learn that it's critical for today's executives to:
- Understand that emotions are going to happen and they do not go away;
- Realize that emotions have measurable costs and can be managed in a compassionate manner that supports people and the bottom line;
- Know that if suppressed, ignored, or devalued, emotions distort and become even more lethal.
You will learn that it's possible and necessary to:
- Achieve a realistic buy-in from the CEO and other leadership;
- Avoid the rapidly escalating costs caused by emotions rising in the system;
- Reflect negative feelings into a healthy form that increases loyalty and productivity.
And you will learn how to:
- Observe, predict, prepare & write policy to manage the full range of workplace emotions;
- Manage office bullies, who are too often managers themselves;
- Calculate the managerial & productivity costs of an emotional incident.
In a particularly powerful chapter that details how to manage emotionally charged events, Dr. Vali compares the escalating workplace tension caused by two violent co-workers to her own onsite experience counseling victims of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the Indonesian Tsunami: "Walking the halls, I saw, felt, and heard the disruptive effect of two workers on 600 people. It was like experiencing the rubble of any other disaster. People took sides, hid, ran, overworked, underworked, ate too much, drank more, complained more, went silent, quit. I became sensitized to the differences between small gusts of emotions with no power and those with catastrophic force."

~WEEKEND ASSIGNMENT~The Game~Week 178~
The concept? ... Everyday Things
Time to get shooting everybody! Use your imagination.
Whatever springs to mind....
Weekend Assignment is over 3 years old. Originally started by Mark Grant & Hayley Lek, carried on by Night Beat, Visually Odd Photo, & Sungoddess Studios.
As well as the regulars that submit photos.
The idea behind "Weekend Assignment" is to force everyone....
.....To go out and shoot something you might not normally shoot
.....To look at things differently.
.....To expand your mind's eye.
.....To sharpen your skills.
.....To have fun.
OPEN TO ANYONE WITH A CAMERA!!! Yes.. That means ANYONE!!! (including Models, MUAs, Designers, etc.). SUBJECT TO BE ANNOUNCED BY 11:00 PM Pacific ON THURSDAY. POSTING TO BE COMPLETED BY 11:00 PM Pacific ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. That gives you 4 days to shoot and edit, and 3 days for us to discuss the work from the previous assignment.
But, before you play, a couple of things......
(Try to resize your photos to less than 900 pxl. across sRGB.
They fit better and look better too.)Thanks, Philip
The Rules?
1) 1 photo entry per person, per assignment. The idea is to create a new photo for the assignment. Weekend Assignment is based on the honor system, so please don't use an old image to post as this week's submission. If you want to use past shots to match a theme, Blue Ash Film Group does a great job with the "Concept Shot of the Day" game, which we highly recommend. "Also Digital Art of the Day", and "Dark Image of the Day".
2) POST PROCESSING - Please keep it minimal. We want to keep the focus on photography and not post processing and/or illustration techniques. If post processing is excessive beyond the norm. Please state what you did and how you did it.
3) Again, this is OPEN TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A CAMERA. Depending on the assignment, it will be up to you if a model is wanted or needed for your image. Some of our assignments may ask you to grab a candid photo of a person. This will be an option for each individual because we understand that you may not have the opportunity to capture the shot or may not be comfortable shooting strangers in public.
4) If you're open to sharing the technical details (camera/lens/settings) you are welcome to do so, but it is not required. Also, feel free to tell any story of how/where you were able to get the shot and history that might go along with it.
Unsolicited critique is not allowed.
Do not ask for, nor offer critiques. We can DISCUSS but CAN'T CRITIQUE.
The Mods are threatening to move us to the critique forum where it would be open to anyone for critique. Only those PARTICIPATING in the WEEKEND ASSIGNMENT are invited to DISCUSS the images.
6) Not really digging the theme? Got your own suggestions for topics? Then please send them to me via PM!
Every one Idea you give me helps create 1-4 more
7) Have fun!
Enjoy the Assignment and let's get shooting!!!
Thank You,

KALIKOBASS II - another addition to recent YPI sales
Designed and built for sailing excellence as well as outstanding comfort, the Tréhard-built, 32-metre sloop, KALIKOBASS II now becomes the third CA fleet sale in just two weeks for YPI Brokerage, the sales and new construction arm of Yachting Partners International (YPI Group).
Built in 1998 and still fresh from her major 2008 refit, KALIKOBASS II is also the second Joint Central Agency held by YPI and Northrop & Johnson to have been sold in the last two weeks (the first being the Amels-built MONTE CARLO.)
"We have worked very well together for many years now," says Head of YPI Sailing, William Bishop, speaking of both Northrop and Annie Avery, the sales broker who looked after KALIKOBASS II for Northrop. "Annie and I have worked together with many yachts - we are good at getting clients what they need."
KALIKOBASS II now goes to her new owner, introduced by Bernard Gallay Yacht Brokers, with a very attractive charter record and in superb condition.
"He is a very happy owner," adds Will. "And with good reason - KALIKOBASS II shows off an amazing use of space for guests and crew with a very clever cabin configuration. The water is easily reached by steps leading down from the transom and she sails magnificently. I think I speak for us all when I say this was a win-win situation with a great yacht being sold for the right price to an excited new owner."
KALIKOBASS II was for sale through YPI Brokerage at an Asking Price of
YPI and Northrop take the opportunity to thank the buyer's broker Bernard Gallay Yacht Brokers who worked tirelessly for the success of their client.

3 - 4 Final
Hartnell helps Flyers edge LeafsFeb 10, 2012 - 4:11 AM
Maxime Talbot, Claude Giroux and Brayden Schenn also lit the lamp for the Flyers, who put an end to a season-high three-game losing streak.
Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 24-of-27 shots in the win.
"He made some big saves tonight and stood on his head a couple of times," Hartnell said about Bobrovsky. "We needed it, he needed it and we have to keep rolling."
Tyler Bozak scored twice, while Joffrey Lupul also tallied a goal in Toronto's second straight loss on the heels of a three-game win streak. James Reimer stopped 35 shots in a losing effort.
The lone goal of the first period belonged to the Flyers with 5:22 left in the frame when Erik Gustafsson's shot from the left point was stopped in a crowd in front of the net, but Hartnell batted the bouncing puck past Reimer and then immediately dropped the gloves with Toronto's Dion Phaneuf, who laid a big hit on Hartnell behind the net moments before the goal.
Toronto then knotted the game at one just 54 seconds into the second period when Bozak received a pass in the right circle and swooped around behind the net before throwing a shot on net from the left circle that deflected in off the skate of Philadelphia's Braydon Coburn.
Philadelphia took the lead back less than three minutes later on Talbot's deflection of an Andrej Meszaros wrister from the point, but the Leafs answered with Lupul's power play goal at the 5:57 mark of the frame when he cleaned up Phaneuf's slap shot from the right point that Bobrovsky couldn't corral with his glove.
A quick wrister from Giroux from the right circle that snuck under the crossbar at the 13:53 mark of the middle stanza and a one-timer from the left of the net from Schenn off a big rebound 1:14 later put the Flyers up 4-2.
But Bozak finished off an offensive flurry in front of Bobrovsky by elevating the puck over the prone goaltender with 1:51 remaining to make it a 4-3 game after two.
"We didn't really start playing until the beginning of the second period. They had us on our heels," Toronto head coach Ron Wilson said. "We looked like we didn't want the puck in the first period and once we kind of took a deep breath and realized they weren't doing anything different then we expected, we put our nose to the grindstone and fought our way back into the game."
The Leafs, though, could not get another puck past Bobrovsky in the third, including while on a 6-on-4 advantage in the final two minutes after pulling Reimer in the midst of a power play.
Game Notes
The Flyers improved to 13-8-5 at home this season, while the Leafs fell to 12-13-2 on the road this season...Toronto's Phil Kessel had his three-game goal streak snapped...Philadelphia went 0-for-4 on the power play. Toronto has now gone 17 straight games without allowing a power-play goal...The Leafs were 1-for-4 on the man advantage.

'The Divergent Series' Is Heading To The Small Screen. Could It Be As Successful As These 4 TV Shows Based On Movies?
It seemed set to fill the gaping void that The Hunger Games left behind, but sadly after the third entry was met with an international, resounding chorus of "meh" — pulling in around half of what its two predecessors banked at the box office — plans for the fourth film in The Divergent Series have reportedly changed. Rather than push the final installment to theaters, Ascendant will wrap up the franchise on the small scene.
After two solid box office entries and the stumble at the third, the fourth apocalyptic film was set to debut in June 2017; but, as it would have squared off against and , Lionsgate is approaching it with a different strategy. Though details of said strategy are still vague, per Variety's report, the studio's television group is considering plans for a spin-off TV series after the existing storyline involving the current cast — alongside the introduction of new characters — is wrapped up.
However, this news doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. As we're entering an era swamped with , moving The Divergent Series: Ascendant to the small screen doesn't necessarily mark the franchise's downfall.
This year we've already been teased with rumors of an expanded based on the works of espionage writer Robert Ludlum starring Dwayne Johnson, news of a — including a Cruel Intentions series and — and with this September, the time of the TV cinematic is very much upon us.
In other words, The Divergent would be in good company.
4 Movies With Super Successful TV Spin-Offs
1. Fargo
The Coen brothers' 1996 dark comedy thriller Fargo garnered such a wealth of critical acclaim that the Library of Congress deemed it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Starring Frances McDormand, William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi, this cult hit received seven Academy Award nominations and won two, Best Actress (McDormand) and Best Writing (Original Screenplay). It goes without saying then, that when news of a TV spin off series on FX hit, fans were skeptical. Thankfully, their worries were unfounded.
Two years on from the series premiere in 2014 and the Fargo reboot has just been nominated for a grand total of nine Primetime Emmy Awards, including for Kirsten Dunst in the Outstanding Lead Actress category, Noah Hawley for Outstanding Directing and the coveted Outstanding Limited Series award.
2. 12 Monkeys
Terry Gilliam's neo-noir sci-fi epic 12 Monkeys starring Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt absolutely swept up at the box office when it hit theaters back in 1995. Grossing $168 million worldwide on a $29.5 million budget, and shot within 4 months, those involved in the project laughed all the way to the bank, with Pitt scooping up a Golden Globe along the way.
Skip forward 20 years and Season 1 of 12 Monkeys SyFy TV show holds an audience score of 82% on Rotten Tomatoes with a critic consensus of:
"The nonsensical time travel in 12 Monkeys makes it less watchable than its original source material, but the high quality execution and cool characters are top-notch."
3. Wet Hot American Summer
A spoof of sex comedies aimed at teenagers, 2001's Wet Hot American Summer calls back to the last days at a fictional summer camp in the early '80s and, although it was somewhat of a commercial flop, it's stellar cast — including Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler and Elizabeth Banks — and its satirical wit caused the movie to gather a cult following over the years.
Then, last year Netflix rebooted an eight-episode prequel series, Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, which not only included a wealth of the now extremely successful cast returning to play younger versions of their original roles — which was hilarious in its absurdity — but its goofy hijinks filled all the desires fans of the OG movie craved. The series holds a 92% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, too, and you know those guys are a hard bunch to please.
Of course, although we're in an era when TV revivals are becoming a popular format, it's not actually a new idea, as 1970s classic M*A*S*H proved. The original black comedy became one of 20th Century Fox's biggest hits of that decade and bagged an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay (as the film was based off Richard Hooker's novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors).
The film inspired the launch of the M*A*S*H TV show, which premiered only 2 years later and went on to become one of the highest-rated shows in US TV history. Over its 11-year-run, it was nominated for over 100 Emmy Awards, scooping up an impressive 14, including Outstanding Comedy Series in '74, Outstanding Writing in '79 and Outstanding Lead Actor in '82.
Even its intro theme was great, as Family Guy's Stewie demonstrates below:

Denmark was involved in US plans to extradite former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden to the United States in 2013, Danish Justice Minister Soren Pind said Friday.
A US government plane had in the summer of 2013 been given permission to land at Copenhagen airport and fly over Danish airspace in preparation for the possibility that Snowden could be delivered from Russia or another country.
In a letter from Pind to the parliament's legal affairs committee, Pind outlined Denmark's participation in the US extradition plan, Danish news agency Ritzau reported Friday.
Josephine Fock, a member of the legal affairs committee and the opposition party Unity List, said her party would continue to seek information about Denmark's role, public broadcaster DR reported.
US authorities have been seeking Snowden on espionage charges following his 2013 disclosure of extensive telephone and internet data-collection programmes used by the US National Security Agency (NSA).
He was in Hong Kong at the time the US charges were leveled, after which he fled on an Aeroflot flight to Moscow despite the fact that the US had revoked his passport.
During 2013, Denmark, a NATO member, was led by a left-leaning coalition under former Social Democrat leader Helle Thorning Schmidt.
The US reportedly contacted several Scandinavian nations to help in the extradition of the whistle-blower, according to documents revealed by Norway's national broadcaster NRK in 2015.
On Twitter, Snowden, who currently has asylum in Russia, said it appeared that "Denmark intended to violate principle of non-refoulement as I sought asylum," citing the online edition of Danish daily Information.

With LTE (3G Long Term Evolution) fast becoming a global phenomenon, Aeroflex has announced that it is to dramatically accelerate the roll-out of the major new features planned for 2009 for its recently launched Aeroflex 7100 Digital Radio Test Set for LTE mobile device test. The accelerated roll-out of new features for the Aeroflex 7100 during 2009 relates to LTE/CDMA2000 inter-working, LTE/UTRAN & GERAN handover, TD-LTE mode and LTE mobile device conformance test.
"LTE is fast becoming a global phenomenon with network operators in all the current CDMA-dominated markets (USA and Asia) in addition to the traditional GSM markets increasingly opting for LTE for their next generation mobile broadband networks," said Bill Burrows, Business Development Manager at Aeroflex Test Solutions. "The decision to accelerate our new feature roadmap for the Aeroflex 7100 is designed to support their similarly aggressive roll-out plans and the demanding test requirements this places on developers designing new chip-sets, protocol stacks and devices supporting the LTE standard."
LTE / CDMA2000 inter-working: Several major CDMA network operators have announced aggressive plans to adopt LTE as their next generation network technology which will operate in parallel with their existing networks. Both the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards bodies have actively cooperated to finalise the necessary standards to enable this inter-working to be deployed. The Aeroflex 7100 will introduce the ability to test LTE/CDMA2000 network selection and Idle Mode handoff in Q2 CY2009, followed by Active Mode handover in Q3 CY2009.
LTE/UTRAN & GERAN handover: To provide seamless, global coverage, LTE devices will also need to support 2G/3G access. From Q4 CY2009, the Aeroflex 7100 will provide the ability to test backward compatibility with existing 2G/3G networks by simulating LTE, WCDMA and GSM.
TD-LTE mode: The LTE standard supports both paired and non-paired operation with the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD-LTE) and Time Division Duplex (TD-LTE) modes. The demand for TD-LTE mode is primarily driven by China's decision to adopt it. However, network operators in other countries are also now evaluating TD-LTE. The Aeroflex 7100 will include a TD-LTE test capability in Q4 CY2009.
Conformance testing: The focus of the Aeroflex 7100 is currently on the R&D market. However, it will also provide the signalling unit for future protocol and RF conformance test systems for LTE. The conformance test specifications – 36.521 for RF and 36.523 for protocol – are being proactively developed to ensure that the introduction of certification happens in good time for the commercial launch of LTE networks. Support for TTCN3 will be introduced on the Aeroflex 7100, enabling it to use the standard test cases being generated by ETSI on behalf the 3GPP RAN5 Working Group.
Based on tried and tested Aeroflex RF and baseband technology, the Aeroflex 7100 uniquely supports both RF parametric and protocol testing for LTE terminal devices by simulating the network from the physical layer to the core network IP infrastructure. With its focus primarily on the R&D market from the component to the handset level, the Aeroflex 7100 delivers the most comprehensive testing capability for LTE mobile devices available in a single bench-top instrument.
"Our accelerated product roadmap for the Aeroflex 7100 will ensure that, throughout 2009, it will progressively incorporate all the additional features and functionality needed to meet the aggressive roll-out plans announced by the major network operators, device developers and standards organisations pushing the introduction of LTE as the next generation mobile broadband networks," concluded Phil Medd, Product Manager for the Aeroflex 7100 LTE handset tester.

Eid al-Fitr @ al-Azhar Mosque
Eid Said to all!
I'm a bit late, I know, but I couldn't find time to edit this panoramic photo yesterday during the actual Eid celebrations.
Kiran's out of town and Sofi and I wanted to go somewhere big for our first Egyptian Eid, so we decided on the ancient and historic al-Azhar Mosque in Islamic Cairo. It was a good choice, I thought, because massive amounts of people showed up to pray on a beautiful Friday morning. I got a couple cool shots of families wandering the giant courtyard and some good photos / videos of inside the mosque as well.
We weren't sure when the prayer would start. Friends and taxi drivers told me times ranging anywhere from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m., and it didn't help that Egypt was pushing its clocks forward an hour now that Ramadan had ended but we had no idea when the clocks were changed... so we were pretty much in the blue whether we'd even get to pray Eid prayer at all!
Eid in Egypt also fell on the kickoff of the NFL season... and my Saints kept Brett Favre and the Vikings to just 9 points. What a great Eid present :)
After watching the game on my laptop (as "Ahmad Mickey" at the Sports Cafe in Mohandeseen couldn't find the game on their TVs) from Channel Surfing -- which got its feed from ESPN America -- Sofi and I quickly grabbed a taxi at around 5:30 in the morning (getting one was easier than I thought) and Sofi and I headed over to Al-Azhar.
The streets weren't completely dead, to my surprise. There were people randomly walking around instead of heading to mosques. Egypt is a strange Muslim country... I really don't know what to make of it. The people are great, but shops are open during the day during Ramadan and it seemed like less people were fasting as Ramadan continued. It's the only Muslim country I've ever been to, but it's not what I've come to expect at all... but I still love it here!
After Eid prayer, we wandered around Khan al-Khalili a bit, even went to visit the al-Hussein Mosque across the street as it's one of the holiest spots in Cairo. I'll have a few pictures up from there a bit later... because I have a few words I want to say on that matter. But until then, enjoy this panorama that I manually stitched together in Photoshop CS5 from eight frames. It was really hard matching the people in the crowd... really hard, haha. Hope all your Eid celebrations were good and that they continue throughout the weekend.
Eid Said!

Pope Francis: A good father shouldn't slap his child in the face
(-ONLY VIDEO-) In his weekly general audience, Pope Francis continued his catechesis on the family and the indispensable role fathers play in raising children. It's about being present and offering guidance, he said, not about offending or humiliating the child. SUMMARY POPE'S CATECHESIS: Dear Brothers and Sisters, In our catechesis on the family, we have been reflecting on the dignity and role of fathers. The Book of Proverbs speaks of the joy and pride which fathers feel as they see their children mature in wisdom and rectitude (cf. Prov 23:15-16). These words sum up the demanding but indispensable role of fathers in the family and in society as a whole. A good father teaches his children by giving a daily example of love and integrity. He must first discipline his own heart in order to deal patiently with his children in their growth to maturity. In a society like our own, where father figures are often absent, it is essential for fathers to be present and fully engaged in the life of the family. Jesus points to God our Father as the model of all fatherhood. Like the father of the prodigal son, God waits patiently for his children to return home; with mercy and forgiveness he is always there to welcome them back whenever they stray. As Christian fathers strive, like Saint Joseph, to protect their children and to teach them wisdom, faith and integrity, may they always experience our gratitude, appreciation and support. Speaker: I greet the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors taking part in todayâ??s Audience, including those from England, Wales, Finland, Sri Lanka and the United States of America. Upon you and your families I cordially invoke joy and peace in the Lord Jesus. God bless you all! JRB CTV -BN Up: GRT #Papa

Fasciae of the Hip and Thigh
Fascia is a band of connective tissue located beneath the skin, which encloses and separates muscles. There are two main types of fascia: superficial and deep. The superficial fascia is attached to the dermis and aids in movement of the skin. The deep fascia is denser than its superficial counterpart and forms intermuscular septa, which are involved in the formation of muscular compartments. This article will talk about the structure and function of the fasciae of the hip and thigh, followed by any related clinical pathology.
Superficial Fascia
The superficial fascia of the hip and thigh is continuous with the fascia of the lower back posteriorly and the fascia of the abdominal region anteriorly. This fascia consists of loose areolar and adipose tissue. In the inguinal region, this fascia splits into two layers to enclose the long saphenous vein and superficial inguinal lymph nodes. The superficial fascia is referred to as the cribriform fascia, as it is perforated by the long saphenous vein, lymphatic vessels and by superficial branches of the femoral vein.
Deep Fascia
The deep fascia of the hip is thin over the gluteus maximus muscle but thickens over the anterior two-thirds of the gluteus medius muscle to form a strong aponeurosis. This aponeurosis is attached to the lateral aspect of the iliac crest and splits into two parts to enclose the tensor fascia latae and gluteus maximus muscles.
The deep fascia is attached anteriorly to the inguinal ligament and the superior ramus of the pubis. Posteriorly it is attached to the sacrum and coccyx bones. Medially, it is attached to the inferior pubic ramus and to the lower aspect of the sacrotuberous ligament as well as to the ramus and tuberosity of the ischium.
Fascia Lata
The fascia lata, the deep fascia of the thigh, varies in thickness and is continuous with the deep fascia of the hip. It is thicker in the proximal and lateral aspects of the thigh where it attaches to the gluteus maximus and tensor fasciae latae muscles. It is also thick around the knee joint. Over the adductor muscles and posterior aspect of the thigh, the fascia lata is thinner.
The fascia lata is split into two layers, which are referred to as the superficial stratum and the deep stratum. The superficial stratum reflects inferolaterally from the pubic tubercle to form the arched falciform margin. Distally, the fascia lata attaches to the head of the fibula as well as to the tibial and femoral condyles. There are three modifications of the fascia lata, which are known as the:
- Iliotibial tract
- Intermuscular septa
- Saphenous opening
Iliotibal Tract
On the lateral aspect of the thigh, the fascia lata thickens to form the iliotibial tract. Superiorly, the iliotibial tract splits into a superficial and a deep layer. The superficial layer is attached to the iliac crest and descends lateral to the tensor fasciae latae muscle. The deep layer is medial to this muscle and blends with the capsule of the hip joint. Distally, the iliotibial tract blends with the aponeurosis of the vastus lateralis muscle before it attaches to Gerdy's tubercle, which is located on the anterolateral surface of the lateral tibial condyle.
Intermuscular Septa
There are two intermuscular septa formed by the fascia lata and these septa form the anterior, posterior and medial compartments of the thigh. These septa are referred to as the medial and lateral septum.
The medial septum is thinner and weaker than the lateral one. It lies between the vastus medialis anteriorly and the adductor and pectineus muscles posteriorly. The lateral septum descends from the gluteus maximus muscle to the lateral condyle of the femur and lies between the vastus lateralis and the short head of the biceps femoris muscle. Both of these septa are attached to the linea aspera of the femur.
Saphenous Opening
In the deep fascia, there is an opening 3 cm lateral to the pubic tubercle, which allows the passage of the long saphenous vein. This aperture, referred to as the saphenous opening, is covered by the superficial fascia and is located inferomedial to the superficial stratum of the fascia lata. It is located lateral to the deep stratum and its superior, inferior and lateral borders are formed by the arched falciform margin.
Iliac Fascia
The iliac fascia covers the psoas major and iliacus muscles. It thickens as it descends towards the inguinal ligament. Superiorly, the part covering the psoas major muscle thickens as the medial arcuate ligament. Medially, fibrous arches attach the fascia to the upper part of the sacrum and to the lower lumbar intervertebral discs and vertebral bodies. The fascia blends with the quadratus lumborum fascia superior to the iliac crest and with the fascia covering the iliacus posterior to the crest.
The part of the fascia that covers the iliacus muscle is connected to the iliac crest laterally and the pelvic brim medially. The fascia, located between the external iliac vessels and the branches of the lumbar plexus, is separated from the peritoneum by loose extraperitoneal tissue. Medially, the fascia descends posterior to the femoral vessels to become the pectineal fascia. The iliac part forms a septum between the hip-bone and the inguinal ligament, forming a vascular space medially and a muscular space laterally. The psoas major, iliacus and femoral nerve are located within the muscular space whereas the vascular space contains the femoral vessels.
Femoral Sheath
The femoral sheath is a funnel-shaped continuation of the transversalis fascia and the iliac fascia and consists of three compartments. The lateral compartment contains the femoral artery whilst the femoral vein is located in the intermediate compartment. The medial compartment, the femoral canal, consists of lymphatic vessels, is 2.5 cm long and allows distension of the femoral vein. The proximal end of the canal, the femoral ring, consists of extraperitoneal tissue and is larger in women. This is because females have a wider pelvis and have smaller femoral vessels.

Meditation Buddy and Conversation
I will guide you in basic meditation or play one of my many guided meditations from my meditation instructor. The lineage of the practice is based in vajrayana buddhim but the practice doesn't preach Buddhism it's just based in that tradition. After we can talk about the meditation and anything else over tea. The practice will make you feel open and relaxed and practicing with someone always has many benefits.
Training & Qualifications
I have been practicing meditation for 6+ years, I'm not qualified to be teaching but I think meditation is a very open idea and should be practiced as so. I have many guided meditation tracts lasting from 30-60mins from my instructor who is trained in the lineage of vajrayana buddhim but the practice doesn't preach Buddhism it's just based in that tradition.
Availability & Preferences
I prefer weekdays. We can meet in my home or yours, whatever is more comfortable for you.

I am a laugher, musician, hitchhiker, yogi, partier, lover, teacher, student, and wanderer. I am spiritual, crazy, and known to have a pretty short attention span. You can find me anywhere from takin...g naps on beaches to causing trouble in downtown clubs to meditating in ashrams in the mountains. I simply love to live and live to love. ॐshow moreOpen to other proposals
