How do I get to know him better?
Dear Miss Love
There is a guy at my church whom I really like. We are getting to know each other little by little. It's small stuff, nothing deep; however, I don't know how to get further than this and be closer to him. I'm insecure and he is a good looking guy. How do I tell if he likes me without actually blurting it out, scaring him off and making a fool of myself?
There are a couple of options that you can think about. However, I first want to let you know that discreetly asking him or finding out wouldn't scare him off if he is taking an interest in you. You can continue what you are doing and before you know it a friendship will develop which can lead to something else.
Maybe think of a few things to ask him for when you next meet so that you can expand the conversation. Ask friends whether they know what his hobbies are and see whether you have similar interests and go from there.
Why notpluck up some courage and to ask him if he would like to go for a coffee with you after your Church meeting or a different occasion? Spending time together in a different atmosphere and alone will get the ball rolling. You have nothing to lose by doing this and if he says "yes" then you will have an indication that he could like you more than just an acquaintance. If he declines, then you know that his interests aren't the same as yours.

Owning a bar or nightclub sounds like a dream job but has its challenges
(page 2 of 4)

Change of Plan
Finding a niche helped Dan Chang, who owns and operates the popular but hard-to-find Wang Chung Karaoke Bar in Waikiki.
When Chang, an industrial engineer, moved to Hawaii from San Francisco in 2006, he did some retail consulting work, then got into real estate.
He got stuck with a location he couldn't lease: a 250-square-foot nook – 367 if you count the bathroom – on Koa Avenue in Waikiki. So he leased it himself, and opened a bar with the plan to sell it within a year.
Only it wasn't that easy: to build a bar, which he did, or to sell it, which he won't.
Commercial rents in Waikiki are among the highest in the nation, and Chang pays almost three times more per square foot than owners in Chinatown. He estimated the build-out cost to be around $200 to $250 per square foot, or roughly $90,000. After being denied loans and lines of credit for the first two years, he decided to liquidate his 401k and Roth IRA from his previous engineering job and financed the rest with credit cards.
"I didn't have any business experience prior to opening the bar. The truth is, I couldn't even pour a drink," says Chang, 32, who opened his bar in 2009. "I don't drink and didn't spend time in bars before planning to open the business. It wasn't my dream to open a bar, but I did always want to open my own business."
Despite the high cost to open and run the bar, and its easy-to-miss location in an alley off a side street behind the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, Wang Chung's has flourished, thanks to skilled mixologists (who sing), unique cocktails, an extensive song list and the friendliest staff in Honolulu. (You might even get hugged when you walk in.)
The neighborhood bar brought something unique to its part of Waikiki, Chang says. Its early support from the gay community fueled its popularity. Now, Chang is looking for a bigger location in Waikiki.
"I really enjoy what I'm doing," Chang says. "It's still engineering to me – solving problems, making things more efficient, coming up with innovative solutions – but with the social aspect that has direct meaning and connection to people."
Good music, friendly employees and unique cocktails help make Wang Chung's Karaoke Bar a popular destination.

No One-Trick Pony
Kawasaki's two businesses, Bonsai and The Villa, have transitioned from nightclub spaces to multiuse venues. That's how he says he's survived in this economy.
When Kawasaki opened Bonsai in 2008 in Restaurant Row, he wanted it to feel more like a lounge than a nightclub. So he built out the kitchen, changed the décor, added bars and staircases, and updated the wiring and plumbing. But, after a couple of years as a bar lounge, he shifted the focus of the 4,000-square-foot space so it is now open for lunch and happy hour on Fridays and private functions most of the rest of the time.
The Villa lasted for two years as a nightclub before Kawasaki opted to rent out the cavernous 9,000-square-foot space for private parties and events. It has hosted high school reunions, wedding receptions, business socials, networking events, birthday and graduation parties, fundraisers, yakudoshis and even a funeral service. And, with an established kitchen at Bonsai, he can offer full catering menus to customers.
"Even a nightclub can't open and just be a nightclub anymore," he says. "The key is you've got to diversify. You can't be a one-trick pony."
That's the thinking behind M Nightlife, which aims to be more than just a nightclub. It can actually be whatever you envision, and that's helped business.
The club, which is spacious by nightclub standards at 5,000 square feet indoors, has hosted everything from fundraisers to baby luaus with inflatable bounce houses. Once, a couple got married there, with the altar set up in front of the main bar.
The large space – since the venue also owns The Row Bar outside and can barricade that outdoor area to expand – is more of a problem for M, which still operates as a nightclub on weekends. (Its private events only make up about 30 percent of its business.) While it can see more than 1,000 people come through the door on a weekend night, M needs hundreds of bodies at a time inside the venue to fill the space.
"You have 100 people in here, it looks empty. A hundred people in (a smaller club) and it looks raging," Varnadore says. "You need at least 200 to 300 people in here to make it look and feel like the atmosphere we want."

(VENICE, CA) -- Rising Star PR is proud to announce the addition of alt upstart turned feature performer Dane Cross.

Recently hes made a name for himself as the go-to guy whenever award- winning director will Ryder knocks out a new spoof.
''I swear he calls me at odd hours of the day and night to talk about new spoof ideas,'' Dane said. ''One time he tried getting into the shower with Faye [Reagan] and I to discuss the possibility of having me play Face in his XXX not the A- Team or if I'd be willing to wear a blond wig to play Ricky Schroder in a Silver Spoons spoof. I love the guy, honestly, but he's obsessed with his work!''
It's not all bad, though. Most recently he met with the original Bud Bundy, David Faustino, while on set shooting will Ryder's spoof not Married with Children XXX.
''It was crazy getting to meet him,'' Dane said. ''I just looked up and there he was with no warning. I thought someone had slipped something in my drink. He was super cool.''

''From the minute you meet him you can tell that he's got what it takes to be one of the biggest names in all of porn,'' Cypher said.

Personally i've found the opposite to be true. You mentioned mages in your article as a class that doesn't really need a lot of PvP gear, the same is true of warriors to a lesser extent. At the start of this season i went for a lot of resil, i had around 1.1k, and i found it really hard to score kills due to a lack of pressure (only playing 2v2 atm). I switched some gear around and dropped to 850-900 resil and found i had a much easier time getting the kill with a few PvE pieces on.
Just a couple of pieces can add a fair bit of pressure, i wear the frost plate and crafted boots so i can keep my 4-set bonus, although in 3's or 5's i imagine i'd be better off with around 1k resil. Like you said in the closing para.. experiment and mix things up to see what works for you. Stacking full PvE gear is a sure fire way to fail, but going the opposite way and only wearing PvP can gimp you also (depending on class/spec/comp/bracket), best way is to experiment until you find a setup that works well.

Costs of Price Adjustment and the Welfare Economics of Inflation and Disinflation
AbstractThis paper studies the welfare consequences of inflation and disinflation in a model in which monopol istic firms incur a fixed cost of price adjustment. It is shown that a moderately increasing price level is associated with higher social welfare than a perfectly stable price level, and the model therefore provides theoretical support for the widespread belief that a little bit of inflation is good for the economy. Nevertheless, it is also tr ue that the eradication of a moderate inflation leads to an increase in social welfare. Copyright 1988 by American Economic Association.

|Monster Scooter Parts offers OEM and aftermarket Honda Helix CN250 parts. Called the Helix in North America, and the Fusion in most of the rest of the world, the CN250 uses a popular a 250cc engine size. Honda Helix (or Fusion) parts remain largely unchanged over the long production run of this great scooter. We offer the complete catalog of Honda Helix scooter parts, and are constantly adding exciting new parts & accessories.
The debut of the Honda Helix in 1986 marked a dramatic departure in style from the typical scooter of the day. The long, motorcycle like wheelbase provided a smooth, comfortable ride while allowing the rider to extend their legs for full comfort. Many Helix parts were derived from its 250cc predecessor, the short lived Honda Elite 250.
We offer Honda Helix parts sourced directly as OEM parts from Honda. Additionally, we have affordable, high quality, Honda Helix scooter parts that are "clones" of the Helix (typically known as CN250 clones) . The Helix/Fusion is very popular in Asia, and great success typically brings about copycats. Helix parts are of no exception. Honda Helix parts have been cloned into several Chinese models, with the best known model the CFMoto CF250, CF250T-R, or just simply the CFMoto Fashion.
It should be noted that not all cloned Helix parts are compatible with all model years of this great Honda scooter. Cloned Honda Helix parts generally fit the model of the early Honda Helix years of 1986 and 1987. Check the part description, specifications, and image prior to ordering to ensure proper fit and function.
Need Honda Helix scooter parts that are not listed on the model page? We can special order all available factory parts direct from Honda. Give us a call or fill out our contact form for more information on availability and cost of special order Helix parts.
Tires size for the Honda Helix 250 are 110/100-12 front, and 120/90-10 rear.

Worship as Refuge
- Wednesday, March 05, 2008
"As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You give me your shield of victory; you stoop down to make me great. You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn."
2 Samuel 22:31-37
Is it just me, or are things kind of difficult right now? I mean, global jihad is enough to mess up your day, but what about all the other things you have to deal with right here at home? Kids, work, health issues, money, marriage, keeping the yard looking better than the neighbors – the list is endless of things that have to be managed every day. And then, there's ministry! If you're like me, you can feel pretty overwhelmed sometimes just doing what has to be done and preparing to minister to other busy people often takes a back seat. Well, when life starts to swallow us whole and we feel that all-too-familiar sinking feeling - you know, the one that is accompanied by a loud gasping noise as you go down for the third time - it's time to remember that God has provided an answer for us in worship.
Jack Hayford wrote in his book Worship His Majesty (Regal Books) that "Worship is to God, but for man." God deserves and demands the worship because He alone is worthy, but we're the ones who benefit from worship – it doesn't alter His worthiness in the least for us to worship Him or not. That singular phrase has helped me to understand worship, and its personal benefits, like no other phrase I have ever read.
Many worship leaders struggle with how worship works and get caught up in the mechanics of corporate celebration, completely losing sight of the personal power of worship and why it works the way that it works. Worship is first personal, then corporate – if it's not working for us as individuals, it doesn't work for us as churches and corporate gatherings. That's why worship is so exciting when we go to worship conferences – everyone there is a dedicated worshiper and the corporate expression and energy is thrilling! Conversely, many of our churches are filled with apathetic Christians who do not practice worship throughout their work week, so corporate worship on Sundays is often dull and flat. The worship leaders and the preachers are often blamed for what is really the responsibility of the persons in the pews. If we could more effectively transmit this message – that worship has personal benefits – I believe we could turn our churches into dynamic places of worship and incredible spiritual power!
Toward that end, here are three things we need to be telling our people about worship. They are simple but powerful tools for energizing personal worship that will have direct and powerful results in corporate worship. And, worship leader friend, instead of looking for the next trick to make you the coolest worship leader, I encourage you to practice these principles to unleash worship's true benefit and power in your own life.
ONE: Worship as Remembering. I know that we often describe worship as relationship in an attempt to distinguish it from dead religion. This is good. We need relationship. But there are many people with whom I have relationship, but no contact. I'm still related to some people who have died, even though we have no contact (I'm not that weird!). The relationship is intact whether or not we have communication, so relationship itself isn't what makes worship bring benefit to my life – it's the contact, the communion, the communication of power and love and grace and peace and truth that emanates from a connection with God that works. Sometimes we have to remember to activate the relationship. Marriage is like that sometimes – the romance can grow a little cold until one partner or the other remembers to do something nice for the other like bring home flowers or clean the kitchen – then the romance is reignited and passion can flame once again. The couple is no less married, even in times of relational struggle, but is not blessed by the relationship and benefiting from it.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Review: 2007 Lexus LS
This 2007 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2012.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
New-generation Lexus flagship sedan is loaded with new, advanced features.
A car that parallel parks itself should get the attention of even those who have no more feeling for cars than they do for a city bus.
The redesigned 2007 Lexus LS 460 sedan has that $500 feature, called the Advanced Parking Guidance System. It's a "first" in the automotive world.
But is that intriguing system just a headline-grabbing feature for this new fourth-generation Lexus? With today's mostly drive-in parking spots, there's not much need for it outside of congested residential city areas.
Those drive-in spots at such places as shopping centers and 7-Elevens are a good thing because many drivers seemingly have terrible parallel parking abilities. (Last I looked, parallel parking is no longer taught during many high school driving courses.)
How It Works
But a good amount of room is needed behind the LS to automatically steer itself into a parallel parking space. Programming the parallel parking feature can be bothersome and shouldn't be done hastily. A driver might have time to drink a latte before the car finishes parking.
Incidentally, Mercedes-Benz offers a similar parallel-park feature for its revamped 2007 S-Class flagship sedan, but it calls for more driver involvement.
More Aggressive Styling
But this new Lexus still doesn't stand out much from the Japanese luxury car crowd because the LS has always been a winner and radical styling changes might cause potential loyal LS fans to look elsewhere.
However, the LS is so aerodynamic that it has an astonishing low drag coefficient of .26, while a .30 reading is good even for a sports car. There thus is little wind noise and fuel economy is enhanced.
Superb Fit and Finish
Lexus even worked to make the sound of the doors opening and closing reminiscent of skillfully crafted wood doors in a home.
Strong Acceleration
The smooth, quiet V8 provides very fast (0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds), seemingly effortless acceleration that just goes on forever. The engine works with the world's first production car 8-speed automatic transmission; it shifts so smoothly you'd never know it had all those speeds. (Lexus trumps Mercedes here because the S-Class is offered with "only" a 7-speed automatic.)
New Long-Wheelbase Version
The regular-length LS is priced at $61,000. Add $10,000 for the long-wheelbase version. And figure on higher prices for a gasoline-elecric hybrid LS that arrives next year and will be the first vehicle with a full hybrid V8 powertrain.
Lots of New Technology
A fully optioned LS has a so many airbags and surround-sound speakers that you can almost lose count. It's also got a 30-gigabyte hard drive (storage for 2,000 music files) and a bunch of powered sunshades. Mercy!
A Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management stability system integrates a new electronically controlled brake system, electronic power steering, vehicle stability control, anti-lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution.
Decent Fuel Economy
An available electric power steering system does away with a hydraulic system's weight and complexity. It provides a natural effort level, which is something not all electric steering systems possess.
Limousine-Like Ride
The package also provides variable gear ratio steering and brakes with larger rotors for superior stopping during hard driving.
The LS 460 doesn't speak to car buffs and is nowhere with the hip-hop crowd—at least not so far. Rather, it's for practical luxury sedan buyers who want a solid, reliable, prestigious sedan.

With the way the Dems have been getting the hispanic/latino vote I would think that party would be all for PR as the 51st state.
Insert pithy saying here.
PRs politics are not the same as American politics.
They are kind of backwards actually.
"Society became divided into camps in which no man trusted his fellow. To put an end to this, there was neither promise to be depended upon, nor oath that could command respect; but all parties dwelling rather in their calculation upon the hopelessness of a permanent state of things, were more intent upon self-defence than capable of confidence." - Thucydides, probably predicting the rise of internet message boards

James McAvoy Is Clinically Insane
James McAvoy claims that making out with Angelina Jolie in the film Wanted was "not very nice," according to In Touch Weekly.The obviously troubled actor plays a neophyte assassin opposite Jolie's typical badass bitch—and apparently, he discovered his homosexuality during those kissing scenes.
"I can tell you what it was like to kiss her on a film set: It was awkward, sweaty and not very nice," he tells the mag. "There was angst involved in that, as always. I don't think Brad Pitt felt threatened for one moment."
McAvoy apparently feels sex scenes really just stir up a lot of anxiety.
Now, 1.8 million guys around the world have signed a petition requesting that McAvoy shut the hell up, stand aside and let a real man handle things.

I start walking to where we left the girl's as Kelly sticks to the shade. Looking over I see that his hair is starting to go white just like when I first met him."Hey Kelly?" He looks over to me and tilts his head in a way as to ask 'What'. "I was wondering, why was you're hair white when I first met you?" "Oh..." Kelly look's down and hi's face look's to be a bit of a frown. "Well... Me and Sherisse were out hunting for food. You know anything we can find pigs, cows-""People?"

Your legs burn and ached bagging for a rest, but you just couldn't bring yourself to stop knowing that if you do life will no longer be an option.Your arm was bleeding a lot and had a cut that you swor went down to the bone. Poison rushed through your veins from the little spider that attached you before. The sounds echo behind you and you hold back the urge to look back, very well knowing that there still there chasing after you.Just then an arrow hit you dead on in your lag causing your knees to buckle and you to fall to the ground. You let out a scream full of pain and agony as you look back to see your death approaching. The young spider girl with black hair that had a bright green tips was the first the catch up to you. She laughed as she started kicking you, breaking ribs in
Puppy In A Dress (Tobuscus/Toby Turner X Reader)You snuggled deeper into the blankets, trying desperately to stay warm, when you heard a whimper near your head. You peered over the edge of the couch to see Gryphon shivering, and immediately picked him up and wrapped him in the blankets with you."Hey __y/n__ have you seen Gryphon? I need to put his swea-" Your boyfriend, Toby, trailed off when he saw both yours and Gryphon's heads peeking out through a mass of blankets."Gryphon! You traitor!" You cried out as the dog wiggled out of the blankets and ran to Toby, wagging his tail excitedly."Aw Gryphon loves his daddy oh yes he does." Toby said in a baby voice as he slipped the sweater over the dog, before gently sticking his legs through the arm holes. You watched intently as Toby switched to his "Gryphon voice", narrating what he was doing from Toby's point of view."What?" Toby asked curiously when he saw you staring at him. You crawled out from the cocoon of
Tobuscus x Reader Part 3 "Say... You wouldn't mind if I started calling you hothothothothot, would you?" he asked. You shyly smiled and shook your head. Of course you didn't mind! You wanted him to call you that all along. "Good." he simply said. "Because I'm going to call you that sometimes." Yet, you still felt like it was wrong to be in a relationship this early. You just bumped into him yesterday. Or more like, he was the one to start comforting you. And, well, he did like you back... So you were going to let him make the first move. Which, hopefully, would be soon, because you loved him dearly. And, God dang it, he still wasn't wearing a shirt. He was going to give you a nosebleed if he didn't put one on. As if he read your mind, he put a blue TOBUSCUS shirt on. Well... You still wanted him to be shirtless, but you didn't want to get a nosebleed, so you didn't interject. You just frowned a little bit. You put your head back on the pillow and snuggled up to yourself under the covers. He got i
Tobuscus x Reader Part 2 "Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry again... I'm sorry." he said, and sniffled. "Have you called anybody and told them yet?" he asked. Oh, no... You hadn't... That would be the hardest part of it all. Hearing the reaction on the other line of the phone... The horrible reaction... It would haunt you for the rest of your life, for as long as you live... "I... I didn't yet... I don't even know if I can go on with that... Telling them that..." you sobbed. You didn't know what you were going to do. You had a panic attack. You got up and quickly paced in front of the bench. Finally, you sat down. You came to no conclusion. Toby tried to calm you down, and he was, of course, successful. Mostly because he was just your biggest crush. "I don't know where I'm going to live." you said, worriedly. It's not like he would just tell you to stay at his house... Or would he? You hoped so. Staying at your crush's house sounded quite alright with you. Please
Tobuscus X Reader -Shiny Espurr-"WELL FUCK YOU TOO." You yelled at your 3DS screen,pissed off. You just hatched a espurr and you were blinded for the 104'th time of those fucking sparkles that cover the screen when it hatches."YOU'RE NOT EVEN SPECIAL." You said as the espurr in the screen just kept its nuetral expression,as if you were expecting for it to hear you. You groaned and made your character move to the PC in the Daycare to store in yet another non-shiny espurr. You were trying to get a shiny espurr(hopefully a female) from your two pokemon in the Daycare which is a japanese ditto and a english espurr. "There not sexing hard enough..." You said as you chuckled to yourself while you got yet another new egg from the Daycare guy. "Oh?........" is what a text box appeared when a egg is going to hatch. You just weren't sure whether to be excited or pissed but you felt both. The egg moved,then bounced,then cracks,then bounce,then move again and the screen was covered with light. You closed your eyes until you hear
Tobuscus x Reader Part 1 You had just witnessed something you never wanted to witness. You watch your best friend die right before your eyes. Just great. First, it was your parents, to which you'd lost in a fire years ago. Now, it was your friend. She just died while you two were swimming in a lake. She gave out and started to drown. You dove into the lake and grabbed her hand. She pulled you under the water. She choked out the words: "No. I... I don't want you to die. Let me die instead." She let go of your hand as you watched her life quickly slip away from her. There she went. Gone. And here you are now. Gathering your belongings and trudging through the town, mourning from your loss. Now, your parents AND your only friend was gone. All you had was YouTube. It usually cheered you up. But you didn't know what would happen now. You were still a little wet. You saw a bench, so you decided to sit down and take out your laptop. You had no idea why you would have taken it swimming with you, but you
Bajan Canadian x Reader Part 1 I was a normal day in (city) just like usual I would go to my friend Olivia's house and just talk for like 2 hours I don't really know. When I went home I went onto my computer and started playing Minecraft one of MY FAVORITE GAMES because my idol BajanCanadian plays it. *ring ring ring ring* I suddenly heard my Skype ringtone come off from my phone. It was my best friend Ryan who moved just last year to Oklahoma. "Hey Ryan whats up"? "Ehh not much what about you (Y/N)"? "Same just playing Minecraft". "Oh cool well I gotta go sorry for such a short talk lol I have to go to work talk to you later bye"! "Ughhhhhhhhh" I groaned I was so bored. I got onto my favorite server TheFridge. I went to play the Hunger Games and record some and favor it to BajanCanadian. I pressed my hot-key t
Cold outside (Tobuscus x Reader Christmas special)You lie on the cocoon of blankets with gryphon. Toby was frantically looking around for gryphon. ''Hey ______? Where's gryphon?'' Toby asked. You snuck a hand out of the blanket and pointed to the spit where gryphon was. Toby nodded and took him out. He put him in a sweater. You stared at Toby. ''What?'' He asked. You smirked and worked your way out of the cocoon. You kissed toby. Toby took gryphon and dived into the cocoon. You worked your way in and Toby pulled you against his chest. He was giving off a lot of heat. It was Christmas you flipped over to Toby and set gryphon on the ground. You ran your hands through Toby's hair and kissed him. His arms snaked around your waist.''Cold still?'' He asked. You nodded, smirking to see what Toby would do. Toby kissed you deeply. He was putting off some heat, you didn't mind. After all it was freezing. After you guys pulled away for breath Toby was still panting. He caressed your cheek.You put your hand on his and smiled. He kissed you again

New Girl- Smosh Games Interactive[?] Fanfic Part 1 (*Readers POV*) I walk in the building most likely sweating already with my hair stuck on my fore head. I was never good under pressure, especially in this case. This is something I been hoping for since September, a position in the Smosh games cast. Even before Smosh Games I've been a gamer girl, my favorites game is most likely Skyrim since Open World games are my my absolute passion! Still I always love a good Nintendo game like Mother 3, Never played it? It is only available in Japan, I payed about 90 bucks to get it shipped. I also like WoW. cause who can't love a good roleplaying game? Also I wanted to play video games all day long when I was a child and growing up never stopped me! I quickly walk into the bath room to try to fix my hair and make sure I am not too sweaty, I don't want them to think I am all sweaty. I also need to try to break out of my bubble a little. When I meet normal people I usually freeze, but these people

A guide to creating efficient variants
FeatureIDE - A novel approach to developing software - Part 2
Feature IDE by Example
The basic idea of FeatureIDE is to develop every feature separately. Variants can afterwards be generated automatically by selecting and combining the desired features. We show how this works with a small calculator example.
Mapping Code to Features
In FeatureIDE, the whole application is divided into parts representing different features. While this may sound similar to the concept of classes there is an important difference. A feature in our sense always represents a certain aspect of the application with meaning to the end-user, e.g., the operations Addition and Multiplication are features, because it makes a difference to the user whether these operations are included in the final product.
Every feature can be related to an arbitrary number of software artefacts. In FeatureIDE, these artefacts can be classes, methods, fields or even single statements as well as additional resources like graphics or user-documentation. Especially, the option to change only parts of a method offers great flexibility in the design of features. Figure 1 shows the mapping of features to code in our example. Columns are related to the features and rows are related to classes or other documents.The cells contain more detailed information about the artefacts that belong to the particular feature.
Figure 1: Mapping Code to Features
We can see that the feature Addition contains three methods and one field in the Calculator class.The class Addition Operation is also introduced by the feature Addition. Feature Graphical contains the User Interface class, which contains five methods and two fields.
Implementation of Features
Figure 2 shows the source code of the features Addition and Multiplication. Feature Addition introduces the methods initCalculator() and initUI(), which contain functionality to supply our calculator with an addition operation. Both methods are extended by the feature Multiplication in order to extend the calculator with a multiplication operation. We use the keyword original() to access the original method, as it is defined in feature Addition. The keyword original() is similar to the keyword super(), but does refer to a member of another feature instead of a member of the superclass.

Tomorrow one of the biggest fund raisers in the Fairbanks community will kick off at the Carlson Center sharply at 7:30 in the morning.
The "Go Red" conference will begin the day tomorrow morning with a men's breakfast followed at 11;15 with the always popular "Go Red" luncheon.
The event will feature many speakers including a former CBS celebrity Weatherman and morning show host Mark McEwen.
Mr. McEwen is recovering from a massive stroke and is traveling about the country talking about what good health and lower blood pressure can do to avoid a potential health tragedy.
''Well I had high blood pressure, but everyone in News I knew had high blood pressure. I think that was part of the gig.
So I've lost about 40 pounds, I was heavier. So when you get up at 4 in the morning, you talk about going to the gym, you don't go.
So I was a ticking time bomb." Mark says he will be getting back into television with a new TV show he will be hosting in the Orlando, Florida area.

Hauling themselves and their belongings through a maze of backpacks and jackets, many students are now left wondering what is actually going on.
The main purpose of the rerouting was not to change where students lined up outside of the cafeteria, but to encourage them to use the numerous empty cubbies to store their backpacks and jackets, according to Tim Schroer, director of the Buntrock Commons Office.
There are many reasons behind this plan, but the primary concern is accessibility. Backpacks and jackets lining the entire second floor around the cafeteria, particularly at the top of the stairs, create many potential problems in terms of accessibility for people in wheelchairs and on crutches, as well as for visitors who are unaccustomed to the campus.
"It has nothing to do with the look of it," Schroer said. "Accessibility and fire safety are the main concerns."
Another pressing issue that fueled the cafeteria traffic re-direction was that of fire safety. Although the fire marshal never actually came and deemed the situation dangerous, Schroer believes that it certainly is a fire hazard.
One of the main enforcers of the project was Molly Robinson 03, a student worker in the Buntrock Commons Office. "The vast majority of students were fine with the new arrangement," said Robinson. "I received very few complaints."
According to Robinson, the line re-direction was a student-generated project in response to complaints about lines stretching down the hallway to the library, and the difficulty for people to get in and out of the building or to the mailboxes.
"It was a two-day experiment," Schroer said. "Would it work? Did it change? We heard everything from students, but it got people to think about the issue now."
For now, however, the cafeteria line re-direction project has been suspended until the office arrives at a better, more efficient solution.
Since then, a large sign has been placed at the top of the stairs near the cafeteria politely asking students to put their backpacks and coats in the cubbies. Schroer commented that he hasnt noticed a considerable difference in the way students are using the cubbies; instead, he noticed numerous backpacks and coats piled around the sign.
In the meantime Schroer has begun to explore other solutions for minimizing to the cafeteria clutter, including using the newly formed Buntrock Advisory Committee and presenting his problem at the next Student Senate meeting.
He welcomes creative suggestions from students, faculty, and staff alike. Some options already considered are posting a student worker at the top of the stairs during all meal times, similar to the events on Oct. 30 and 31. Another idea has been moving some cubbies to Fireside, which receives a considerable amount of student traffic and temporary storage of belongings.
Schroer cited one of the main reasons for the student resistance to this imposed change has to do with tradition. In the old student center, formerly located in what is now known as Dittman that students did the same thing with their belongings and never changed their patterns when they moved to Buntrock. This was one of the main concerns of the former president of the college at that time.
"Student culture is incredibly hard to change," Schroer said.
Nearby schools like Macalester College, however, have a similar set-up with entirely different student reactions.
Macalester has cubbies that are a floor below their cafeteria, and recently had to add more cubbies in order to accommodate the excessive student use of that space.
Acknowledging that it is difficult to change something as monumental as cafeteria traffic in the middle of the semester, Schroer added that "people shouldnt be surprised to see a change during Interim or second semester."

All of our discounts are listed on our website. All discounts and services are provided by local independent businesses. No huge corporate markups!
1. 25% discount on all ski rentals and 1 FREE kids ski rental with an adult rental!
2. 20% discount on Door to Door VIP ski rentals
3. 35% discount on ground transportation from the airport
4. 10% discount on bike rentals and bike trips, white water rafting, zip lining, horseback riding, spa services and sleigh rides.
5. $10 off snowmobiling
The NUMBER ONE QUESTION we get is "Do you offer discounted lift tickets?" We do not and the reason is this: As long as you do not buy your ticket at the ticket window, ALL the discounts are the same. Do yourself a favor and stop at the kiosk at the grocery store or go to LIFTOPIA.COM and buy your tickets. We do not offer tickets because we cannot offer a better value than you can easily get using one of these options.
You might have heard of a gimmick called "Kids Ski Free" from the big corporate outfit. There are very few instances that this deal actually makes sense. Why pay twice as much for your accommodations and a $15 per day "amenities fee" to save $45 on a kids ski pass. Don't take our word for it. Do the math and it will be obvious that "Kids Ski Free" is not a deal at all!
We are the personal property manager of the owner. We are a local family owned business.
Conventional wisdom says that you get a better deal if there is no manager involved. This is largely untrue in a high mountain environment like ours. Either the owner is using a management service on the side and ultimately building this cost into the rate or they are leaving everything to chance. Little problems are a BIG deal at 9,000 feet above sea level and in subzero temps. We are there if you lose your key. Being locked out of your condo in sub-zero temps is no fun. This is not a scare tactic. Every year we help several hundred guests with lock-out problems.
If you like to look for deals, then help us stay current with our deals. We will pay you to do your research. If you find a better deal on a comparable property, then provide us with clear evidence and we will beat the deal by 10%.
Our rates are as good as the best you will find. You are gaining peace of mind and losing nothing. Your vacation is meant to be enjoyed. We are here to make your experience hassle free.
We are required by law to charge tax on your stay.
We want to be clear, taxes and cleaning fees are not included in the posted rates. We will send you a quote with the breakdown of all costs, so you can see EXACTLY what you are paying.
Many of our competitors build their fees into their rate. This means that YOU are PENALIZED every day you stay with them because you keep paying for the same service over and over again.
Please make an apples to apples comparison. If you present us with a legitimate and comparable quote from someone else, we will beat it by 10%.
Keystone is the premier destination for various events, festivals and one-of-a-kind attractions. These include things such as Mardi Gras, Wine Festival, Beer and Blues Festival, Full Production Concerts, Discovery Days for kids, Art Shows, a real ice castle at the top of the mountain for kids and adults to explore, panning for gold, bungee jumping, and much more. Additionally, you can enjoy Mine Tours, Historical Bus Tours, ATV tours, Four-wheel drive tours, Snowmobiling, horseback riding and sleigh rides.

Home & School
Encouraging family participation is an important part of the St. Mary Campus philosophy. Your children love to see their loved ones involved in school activities, and the PTO (home and family) always needs volunteers. However, we know that the time commitment is sometimes difficult to manage. We offer many ways for you to help.
Each family must volunteer at least 20 hours per school year, but there are a lot of great ways to accomplish this. Attending PTO meetings is just one of them!
The Volunteer Hours Log Sheet can be found here.

Much like the Nintendo 3Ds, LG's Optimus 3D smartphone won't require any glasses to view a 3D image on its 4.3-inch touchscreen. While 3D content is few and far between, you'll be able to snap 3D pictures and videos using the dual 5 megapixel cameras located on the back of the handset. An HDMI output will allow the Optimus 3D to connect with 3D compatible TVs for watching in full high rez since the screen's resolution is limited to 800×480. Under the hood is a 1Ghz dual-core processor, which is borrowed from LG's Optimus 2x and should produce some speedy operation.
Other specs include:
- WiFi b/g/n
- DLNA support
- 1,500 mAh battery
- 8GB of storage with a microSD card slot

Entrepreneurship, entry and performance of new business compared in two growth regimes: East and West Germany
AbstractThe paper provides an outline of the concept of regional growth regimes and empirically illustrates the relevance of the concept. The empirical examples are entrepreneurship, entry and the performance of new businesses in East and West Germany. The differences of the factors determining the formation of new businesses as well as their development between these two growth regimes are immense and clearly demonstrate the relevance of region specific factors. -- Der Aufsatz skizziert das Konzept regionaler Wachstumsregime und illustriert die Relevanz des Konzepts mit einem empirischen Beispiel. Als Beispiel dienen Entrepreneurship, Marktzutritt und Erfolg von neu gegründeten Betrieben in Ost- und Westdeutschland. Die Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Bestimmungsgründe von Gründungen als auch die Unterschiede ihrer Entwicklung sind immens und belegen klar die Relevanz von regionalspezifischen Faktoren.

A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal, by Ben Macintyre is a gripping account of that period, beginning in the 1930s, when bright -- and privileged -- young people on both sides of the Atlantic looked with empathy at the post-Depression plight of the working classes and thought to find in communism an answer to injustice, poverty, and war.
National Book Award finalist Elizabeth McCracken's Thunderstruck & Other Stories is a national treasure. The stories in Thunderstruck brim over with both magic, and the despair that follows devastating loss.
I knew the outcome of the Remnants of a Life on Paper, having heard it from the mother, Bea Tusiani, whom I met recently for the first time at a psychiatric meeting in NYC. Yet this book was still a page turner of a memoir -- written, compiled and told with utter candor and generosity by a mother who lost her 23-year-old daughter.
For those whose life horizons are drawing near, the book teaches about how to let go, not just of life but of the people who will survive you. It speaks to finding your voice to be able to live as you need to, not how others may need you to be. It speaks to how to say goodbye in ways that give needed closure to a life, for all involved.
Jeffery Deaver fans get excited when there is a new novel of his on the bookstore shelves, and they go bananas when it is a story that features Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs. His latest novel is a Rhyme/Sachs novel titled THE SKIN COLLECTOR and it should please his fans and other readers to the max.
