ALL ABOUT ALFIE beat Sheilas Wish comfortably in this a year ago and is just 4lb higher. He's had little racing subsequently but will have been primed for a repeat and gets the vote. Crouching Harry has never won on the Flat but has a victory on testing ground over timber to his credit. He's running well enough to be considered along with Crystal Earth, who hasn't had much experience but ran her best race to date at the Curragh last time. Gothen Niece can go well as she won the second division of this a year ago on soft ground and finished a close second on her only other visit.

Needless to say, Acrobat has the answer to Abby's concerns, and she's not dreaming! Acrobat 7 Professional contains a new feature called an eEnvelope, used as a secure wrapper for a document and its attachments. An eEnvelope is the digital equivalent of a courier-delivered package—the courier cycles into your office, waits for a signature, and then hands over the package. Acrobat can do much the same thing, without leaving any tire treads in your lobby. eEnvelopes even look like envelopes!
Encryption using an eEnvelope doesn't modify the file attachments in any way. Just like a courier package, once you "break" the seal on the document—that is, once your recipient extracts the file attachments and saves them—the files are no longer protected.

How to Make Money: The 88 Steps to Get Rich and Find Success
Ebury Publishing, Nov 30, 2011 - Business & Economics - 272 pages
Felix Dennis is one of Britain's wealthiest self-made entrepreneurs with an estimated fortune of Ł500 million. And he didn't get there simply by reading about how to get rich. He went out and did it.
Appreciating that those intent on becoming rich will not have the time or inclination to read page upon page of guidance and advice on the subject, Felix Dennis has reduced his own business wisdom to 88 tenets of wealth-generation, all written in his inimitable style.
How to Make Money is for those determined to get rich, for those who will not confuse reading with doing, for those who seek the narrow road. (First published in hardback as 88 The Narrow Road.)

Have no fear, my child. God is real – more Real than what you realize. Fear is irrational. God – the all-powerful, the all-knowing, the all-compassionate is as real as you or me. Hence, have no fear. Abandon all fear. Have no fear of the present or future or the past. Have no fear of this life or any life that follows.
You are taken care of. Everyone is taken care of.
The eternal all-courageous power is within you. Fear will not touch you when you realize God. Be like a lion, O great warrior. Not trembling at noises, in the dead of the night, roaming majestically in the fearsome jungle. Arise, O child, and abandon fear.
Sacrifice your actions, thoughts and all to God. Sacrifice your past, present and future to God. Work towards perfection, and towards love, and towards sincerity, and towards fearlessness. Love all. Serve all.

SHAKEY'S USA, INC., PLAINTIFF,v.TUTTO'S PIZZA CORP., ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Oliver W. Wanger United States District Judge
REVISED ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (Doc. 23)
On September 30, 2009, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendation that Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment be granted. This Findings and Recommendation was served on all parties appearing in the action and contained notice that any objections were to be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of service of the order. No objections were filed.
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation is supported in part by the record and proper analysis.
There is no showing that hourly rates above local prevailing hourly rates of attorneys with comparable experience should apply for attorneys fees. No evidence has been submitted to show the operating history of Tutto's Pizza Corp., nor as to its profitability.
The "actual" proposed damages, if trebled, would amount to $110,850.00, however, in light of the absence of showing of the financial ability of the Defendants or reasonable revenues and expenses to support projected sales and profit, the Court exercises its discretion to reduce the award of treble damages to $20,000.00 times 3, the amount of $60,000.00.
1. The Findings and Recommendation issued September 30, 2009, are ADOPTED IN PART;
2. Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment is GRANTED;
3. Judgment is entered in this action only against Defendants Tutto's Pizza Corp., CM Restaurant Group, Inc., and Amira Hanna;
4. Plaintiff is AWARDED damages in the amount of $36,950.00 [there is no showing of the reasonable amount of pizza revenue or from other operations for the two years the royalty is applied];
5. Plaintiff is AWARDED treble damages in the amount of $60,000.00 pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a);
6. Plaintiff is AWARDED attorneys' fees in the amount of $13,658.00, [reduced partners' rate to $325.00 per hour, reduced associates' rate to $225.00 per hour, and re-calculated those fees), computer assisted legal research subtracted from the costs ($84.83).
7. Plaintiff shall recover its costs in the amount of $2,004.37.
8. Plaintiff is GRANTED a permanent injunction pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1116(a): Defendants and their employees, agents, directors, officers, servants, attorneys, and those persons in active ...

Germany has grounded the first two A400Ms that it received after excessive engine wear was found. The third aircraft is still operational, although that aircraft's engines have reportedly been affected also. Source: Airbus DS
Germany has grounded two of the three Airbus Defence and Space (DS) A400M transport aircraft that it has so far received following the discovery of excessive engine wear, national media disclosed on 30 June.
Flight operations of aircraft 54-01 and 54-02 – the first two received in December 2014 and December 2015 – have been temporarily suspended after inspections found heavy engine wear after only 365 and 189 hours of operations respectively, Der Spiegel reported, adding that engine wear on the third aircraft, 54-03, had also been identified.
This issue is likely to be connected to problems that were identified with the EuroProp International (EPI) TP400-D6 engine earlier this year. In April it was reported that engines were being affected by excessive abrasive wear and heat resistance. It was noted that parts of the engine were struggling to stand up to the extreme temperatures, with individual components found to be flawed. A UK Royal Air Force aircraft suffered an in-flight engine shutdown as an apparent result of these issues.
At that time Airbus DS said that it was working hard to solve the issue of excessive abrasive wear, noting that it "has no impact on the security of the plane".
It is understood that the issue has been isolated to the propeller gear-box (PGB); the part that converts the rotating high-speed motion of the engine into a slower speed motion for the propeller. A significant number of engines that are both on the final assembly line (FAL) and in service have had to be replaced because of quality issues, though the issue affects only gearboxes with a clockwise rotation.
EPI has performed an analysis of the issue, identified the root cause, and developed a procedure whereby each gearbox is inspected every 200 hours. If a crack is found the gearbox is then inspected every 20 hours after that to keep the aircraft that have been delivered flying.

EuroProp International (EPI) TP400-D6 engine
TP400-D6 engine – Image @mechanicalproducts.blogspot.comTP400-D6 engine – Image @itp.esImage @flightglobal.com
- Power range in excess of 11,000 shp
- Low risk design and life cycle cost
- Low susceptibility to FOD and erosion
- Ample growth potential
The TP400-D6 is a collaborative engine between Rolls-Royce, MTU, Snecma and ITP. The engine was designed to fulfil the European Staff Requirements (ESR) for the A400M military transport, an aircraft used for peacekeeping missions abroad.
Within the collaboration, Rolls-Royce areas of responsibility include overall engine performance, Air & Oil systems, Intermediate casing, 6-stage High Pressure Compressor and the Low Pressure shaft.
Rolls-Royce is contracted to development and production of more than 750 engines for the A400M fleets of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Turkey, Belgium and Luxembourg, and the production of additional engines for potential export customers.

Battlestar Galactica was one of the first shows in the modern crop of programs the redefined what television could be — especially on cable. It tackled deep and interesting questions by following a continuing story arc throughout its run, and the changes to its characters were important and permanent. It's no wonder that it's become one of the most beloved science fiction series in history.
Naturally, when its run was over, there was an immediate demand for additional episodes. So far, there's already been a prequel series (Caprica), that took place decades before the events of the show's first season. However, it wasn't enough for fans, and Battlestar Galactica will return as a web series over the course of the next four weeks on Machinima. Check out a clip of it below (via ComingSoon.net) and get ready to see a young William Adama during the Cylon War that took place years before the series proper.

Technavio's aerospace and defense research analysts categorize the global explosive detection equipment market into the following segments by product. They are:
- Handheld explosives detectors
- Ground-mounted explosive detection
- Vehicle-mounted explosive detection
Handheld explosives detectors
Handheld explosives detectors are the oldest models of detectors that found its early application in military and paramilitary forces for the detection of landmines and bombs. They are also being used by other private entities in line with their operation or business because of the continuous advancements in the product.
According to Moutushi Saha, a lead defense research analyst from Technavio, "Terrorism has taken different shapes over the years, and there always lies uncertainty with respect to public buildings, schools, waterways, maritime ports, underground subway networks, cargos, and even government buildings that have become more vulnerable to terror attacks. Hence, there exists a need to develop and purchase portable handheld devices that can be carried to any point."
Ground-mounted explosive detection
The global ground-mounted explosive detection equipment market is expected to experience a linear rise in the growth curve because of the increasing number of airports to support the fast-growing air traffic. Ground-mounted explosive detection equipment includes those that are primarily used in public places for the safety of civilians. It includes explosives detection system (EDS) installed at the entrance of airports, sports events, or any sensitive public points.
"The total number of commercial airports in the world in 2015 was about 17,680, and this number is expected to only increase with emerging economies, like India, planning to build close to 175 new airports within the next 10-15 years. This will augment the demand for explosive detection equipment in the coming years," says Moutushi.
Vehicle-mounted explosive detection
Vehicle-mounted explosive detection equipment will likely gain prominence in terms of its share during the forecast period owing to the flexibility offered by such systems. Vehicle-mounted explosive detection equipment is mostly used by military and paramilitary forces to detect land mines and bombs. These systems are also used by airport authorities to check the presence of any hazardous substance inside the cargo or private vehicles entering or leaving airport premises.
The top vendors highlighted by Technavio's research analysts in this report are:

It seems too soon
@ 10:32
So, my Mom got in contact with the hospital again.
The Doctor handling my Dad's case says that if he doesn't get better by Tuesday, that he recommends taking him off life support and letting him die.
He also said, that if we chose not to take his advice, that he's going to drop my Dad's case, because he doesn't feel there is anything he can do about it.
My Dad and Mom had already talked about situations like this, and he had said that he would never want to be kept on life support. The Doctor says that part of the issue with my Dad is that he has viral symptoms going to his brain, and they -so far- have not been able to do a thing about the toxemia.
I also learned yesterday, that the Doctors had taken him off of the morphine because it was lowering his body oxygen level. Right now, I guess its at 25%. They have him in an induced comma, with a respirator and he's being fed intravenously.
Mom talked to my Dad's family yesterday, and both his Mother and sisters both said that they believe the best thing to do is take Chuck off of life support and let him die. They also said that because of the way he looks, that my Mom shouldn't let my brothers visit him in the hospital to say goodbye.
All in all, its my Moms call/duty to go in and terminate life support for him.
She knows its what he wanted/wants... But we both think that four days of being in the hospital is long enough for one Doctor to just dismiss his case.
So, my Mom is planning on getting a second opinion, and hoping that intravenous feeding will cut down enough weight for him to be able to fit into the cat scan machine so that the Doctors will be able to properly diagnose him.
Its hard, seeing my brothers so torn up about this. It really breaks my heart.
I've never seen my Mom cry so much in my life.
I remember why I hate seeing her cry now.
It just breaks my heart.
1 reply
At this point I am not sure about how I feel exactly.
@ 19:09
So, my step father is in the hospital right now.
They can't diagnose him because he's too large to fit in the cat scan machine (as he is 500+lbs). They are treating him for kidney failure, and possible heart failure.
I went in and saw him yesterday, and he looked HORRID. They have him hooked up to oxygen and on a catheter, and heavily sedated.
The Doctor says he has toxemia, and that all together, that things didn't look good for him.
I'm sad, about the idea of him dying and the fact that he was in so much pain.
But at the same time, I'm more angry at him than I am sad for the situation. Because, he did this to himself, and purposely did not take care of himself. I'm angry most of all because he did it in front of my brothers, and all in all... They are the ones who will have to suffer most for his decisions.
My Mom feels really guilty about the whole thing. Which, to me... Doesn't make much sense, since she didn't make his choices for him, and there is nothing she could/can do to change the situation.
Its strange to see her feel guilty in matters of my step father, because in all honesty... She doesn't love him. They stayed together for the sake of my brothers, and because he really couldn't take care of himself.
I don't know how I feel right now. I am angry at him for some things, but not the things I thought that I would be angry at him for.
I sat by his side yesterday, and told him that I love him. He kept apologizing, and babbling incoherently, and so I said I forgave him for the incidents that occurred between us when I was a kid.
I thought that I'd be relieved that he's dying, because for the longest time I HATED him. So much.
But I don't hate him. Not at all.
It was weird to have Thanksgiving without him, I kept looking back at the couch, expecting him to be there like he always is, piping in with some comment that is generally annoying but loving in the same right. But he wasn't, and the TV wasn't on, and my Mom wasn't bickering with him... It just sort of threw me through a loop.
Its hard.
We emailed his Sister yesterday and let her know what was happening. I haven't heard back yet, which makes me sad because none of his family stays in touch with him. I guess its his fault that they don't talk... But still, I feel like they should at least be there to see him out to the end.
I talked to my step brother yesterday too, he was frank and said that he didn't care about his Father, but was worried about my Mom and brothers.
Its strange, and I worry if its cruel... But looking at it from the perspective of cutting ones losses... My Mom and the boys wont come out of this any worse for wear, financially of course. Emotionally, there will be damage... But they will be able to survive without him.
The only thing on my mind about this is how cruel it seems to me, that the hospital wont let my brothers see their Dad at this point because they are under the age of 16.
He could die any minute now... And they would never get to say goodbye.
That's screwed up in my oppinion.
I am not good at dealing with the subject of death I think.
When my Grandfather died, I felt nothing but numbness.
And I feel the same way now.
I've cried, but somehow I feel like I should be crying more about it.
He hasn't been the best of Fathers, but even so... He was more of a Father to me than my blood Father was.

I'm just not going to give advice to anyone anymore...
@ 16:41
So Step Mom calls.
She bitches about my Dad, tells me that my Brother is continuously going to school unwashed and smelling of cat urine.
Bitches about how she's losing weight and how the Doctor has prescribed her Zantax.
Tells me that the school called CPS on my Dad, and she is worried that my little Brother will be put into state care.
Says that she doesn't know what to do, that Steven -little brother- has said that he wants to stick with Dad til he's thirteen -about six months from now-.
Asks ME what she should do.
So, I tell her " You need to do what you think is right with Steven. He's a teenager, he doesn't know what is best for him, he has a bit of trouble understanding these things because of his condition -aspergers-, and he needs to be monitored closely and sometimes even forced to keep proper hygiene (as he apparently hates brushing his teeth and bathing)".
She whines some more. Says that if Steven moves in with her, that she doesn't know if she can keep interacting with the family ( I'm not sure if she's meaning my grandparents/uncles/aunts/cousins and such, or my sister and I...).
I get off the phone with her.
Two hours later, my Dad calls.
His first question is if I told my Step Mom to come take my Brother from his house and take custody.
I say no, because that is NOT what I told her at all.
More excuses on both of their parts.
Its so immature. They fight like children, and sling mud at eachother. They said that they would stop, because it is so uncomfortable for me to handle... But it hasn't stopped, not in the nearly three years that they've been divorced. DIVORCED.
The two aren't even married or living with each other any more, and all I hear is constant scrutiny.
I'm regretting giving my phone number out to either of them.
What am I supposed to do? I can't take my Brother in, I don't have the space or funds to do so. I don't have the funds to make space or be able to take care of him.
I'm just not going to answer the phone from them for a few days in the least.
Why can't my parents act like parents and not snot nosed children?
Why do they constantly lay the stress at my feet, its not like I don't have enough of it my myself.
I just needed to rant.

I've heard this before...
@ 13:28
So, aside from the constant having to waste my cell minutes to remind Jon to call his daughter/get his son put into Dears and covered by the insurance... Things are going moderately well for me.
I just got my study guide for the postal exam in the mail and I've been reading up on that. I have yet to figure out when they are giving the exam... But I'm sure I'll be pretty well prepared when that comes around.
I had planned to apply for the post office in town -about two miles from my house- and just ride my bike up to work... But apparently the concept that its wrong to sell other peoples belongings doesn't phase some people - I AM speaking of my ex husband-. Needless to say, he has promised me a new bike... Jerk.
Which brings me to another common theme.
So, while on the phone with him a few days ago, he up and says "... I'm thinking I'm going to move out there soon".
Ha! Like I haven't heard this before... Oh, wait... I HAVE. At least three times before now.
I wanted to point that out, but instead I said :"Thats nice. It'll make it much easier for you to come visit the KIDS". Emphasizing the fact that he'd be visiting our children... And NOT me.
I still find it extremely hilarious that he should once again say that he's moving out to Cali to :"Be with his daughter".
So... I guess we'll see how this goes.
I'm pretty sure its going to turn out how I think it will.
On another note.
Stinky Monster #1 and 2 are doing great.
Little man caught a cold, he's all congested. He has an icky cold in his eye too.
Vik has quit taking naps and has entered the terrible two's. She's lucky she's so cute -and I love her so much- or I might've already sold her to the circus for a nickle.
I'm still not getting much sleep. But, I'm starting to handle it better now.
Getting back on the horse?
@ 11:49
So, I went to the store yesterday -unaccompanied by children for like the first time in... Wow a month :) -.
I was shopping with my friend Nicole and this guy walked up to me.
He was totally chatting me up.
It was flattering in a sort of made me nervous sort of way.
Surprised the hell out of me, I'm only a week and a half post pregnant...
He asked for my number...
And I decided that I should give the poor guy a break.
I told him that I had two kids, and that my youngest is just now turning a week and half old.
Hey, that is an important bit of information you know? If a guy is NOT okay with the fact that I have kids, then he'll just have to hit the road... Because I DO have kids -two of them, and they are damn beautiful too- and they are a thousand, million times more important to me than dating.
( I joke that I already have a man in my life. He's nineteen and a half inches long, worships my boobs and thinks I'm the most beautiful woman in the world :) ).
Suddenly he wasn't as interested as he was before.
Strangely I wasn't disapointed with this - he was cute and all-. The idea of 'getting back on the horse' is really foriegn and unwelcome at the moment.
It was nice to be told I was cute though. :)
Another amusing note...
I accidently texted Jon yesterday with a coffee invite meant for my friend.
It was a slightly flirty text that was obviously a joke between us - as we are both female and have children-.
So... Yeah, besides now knowing that my boobs look fantastic -which they do ;P - he thought I was trying to pick up on him.
Heh... I was feeling a little catty, and nearly responded with a few mean replies... But ultimately bit my tongue.
Almost.... ALMOST said : "Sorry Kid, I only ask out people I actually want to spend time with". Or :"Generally I only ask people I like out on dates".
Responded with: " Well, that would be silly of me, considering that you live in Oregon. If you'd like though, you can wait for me at the Dutch Bros on the corner... I wouldn't hold my breath on the me showing up at seven thing however".
I have now learned to never send a text on my phone using the 'recent call option'.
Toxic niceness.
I'm infected. I can't get rid of it.
Sometimes I want to be so mean...
But I really don't want to be known as the 'Bitchy Ex Wife'.
I'd rather be known as the one who walked away from the relationship as opposed to some pycho, fire breathing, reptilian wretch.
I used to be so worried what people would think of me if I walked away from him. Because, he said some really really terrible things about me ( Only some of which were true LOL ).
It doesn't really matter anymore -however- because all the people of importance have figured him out.

Because it was the best thing to do...
@ 20:36
I ended it AGAIN.
This relationship was too much to deal with in light of my new circumstances.
For everything I did to fix it, he was right behind me doing something else to destroy it.
And, I just couldn't take it anymore.
The night before I ended it he was at the Bar with his new friend 'Lumber Jack Jake'.
I'm at home with our new son, gorged, tired as hell and sick with something that I would liken to pnemonia. Wasting my minutes on this cheap - but extremely over charging- cell phone because his flakey ass wont even call me to ask if I was okay, or if I had even been released from the hospital.
He didn't even know his son's birthday or middle name. I was so sick with rage that it was hard to speak straight and not scream the entire time.
Then he kept hanging up.
I realised something that next morning. A completely monumental concept.
I am not in LOVE with who he is. Or even, the things that he does.
I am in LOVE with who he used to be, and what we used to have. Because, those things were beautiful. They always will be.
I don't want to ever come to the point of hating him. So, I ended it before I felt nothing but negativity towards him.
We've worked out how we're going to work together for the children. I'm getting complete physical custody and we'll have joint legal custody. He's already started sending money to support the children - a relief, because I've been supporting them by myself for wow... Almost a month now-.
He swore that he loved us all. And, once again he apologized for causing me pain.
I apologized too, for forcing him to be someone that he wasn't . It never was my intention.
Its hard though, watching the person you love with all your heart, become someone that you don't even recognize.
I'm not going to lie. I think about him constantly. I miss him. I wish things had turned out differently.
Maybe he does too.
Suddenly he's writing me emails. He says he misses our daughter and wants to meet our son. He says he plans to visit as soon as he can.
I know its better for me to keep this cord clipped this time.
But, foolishly... I hope that he does miss me.
I hope that he will get his act together.
Completely foolish.
I've waited a whole year for that already.
I'm masochistic.
And I'm afraid that I'll fall into the same cycle again.

I'm sorry, but you're just not being logical
@ 22:11
Dear Jon,
God knows I love you more that I should.
God knows I've sacraficed to be with you.
God knows I've faced disapointment after disapointment and STILL tried to work things out with you.
You knew I was supposed to deliver Nathanael within the week. You knew I was going through contractions. You knew he was coming...
But, still...
I couldn't get ahold of you when I needed to hear your voice most. Your phone was off.
I ask you why it was off, and you don't even have a decent explanation. It was off because you were hanging out with 'Jake'.
Okay, so... This proves to me that you really love and care about us? That you can cut off contact with your pregnant/two inches from delivering the baby Wife, so that you won't be disturbed while you hang out with your 'Lumber jack' friend.
I'm not stupid.
You probably cheated AGAIN.
It wasn't enough that you cheated on me SIX times. Had a pregnancy scare with one of the girls, because -like a dumb ass- you weren't using protection.
THEN, knowing that you were fucking around, had unprotected sex with me... While I was pregnant, without thinking you could've gotten me infected with an STD or something.
Yet - the patient person, and obviously loving wife that I am- I STILL decided to work things out with you.
Vik/Nathan/ and I are NOT accessories to your appartment/lifestyle. We are people. We deserve to be treated that way.
You're right. I don't know how we're going to work this out. You refuse to come to Cali. I'm NOT moving up to Oregon again. Obviously your school is your priority... And hey, I'm not going to waste the energy condoning you for that. Its your choice.
But, the thing you need to understand is that once you make your choice, you have to live with it.
Grow up.
Do you honestly think that you are going to 'Get' Vik?
Do you really think 'taking' her is what is best for her? Just so that you can plop her into daycare ALL day, and keep her from her family who loves and cares for her?
Just so you can pay attention to her when you WANT to. Like always.
I get it, you love her.
She loves you too.
And I love you so much it hurts...
But, we are adults... And I think we both know what the right choice is.
You KNOW she's better off with me. She always has been.
I definately don't have time to waste waiting for you to walk this path with me.
So child support and physical custody is the route I'm going with you.
You may think I'm being cruel. But I'm not doing it to hurt you.
I'm doing it because its the only way I can take care of these babies.
I'm doing it because obviously I have to be the responsible one.
I love you more than you know.
I wish you understood what that meant.
Maybe one day you'll understand that the conversations that I kept trying to have with you were important, and that they could've fixed things if you had actually sat there and listened.
Making Good
@ 17:45
So I have like... a month before I deliver this kid.
I feel fat and sore and cranky, as well as being in a constant drain because I'm the ONLY one chasing around my daughter.
I'm leaving again for Cali.
I don't know -honestly- what is going to happen once I get there. I'm not worried about financial or medical things, those are covered...
It's the whether or not I come back thing.
I've been back up in Oregon for two, almost three months now with Jon. Definitely had its ups and downs.
And it all really boils down to needs not being met, and making good with promises and threats.
I've had this problem in the past - something that is apparent, and often gets me in trouble/used-. I have this feeling if I never make good with the threats that I make, that he's never going to get it or respect me.
It hurts a lot, because I know that I'm trying my hardest and 'doing my job' in the respects of being a good Mother and Wife. I don't ask for much, I really try my best to be understanding and patient... But the truth is: I DONT have all the time in the world to wait on him to be what I need him to be. Its heartbreaking... But I have responsibilities and priorities and dreams too.
Maybe he wont even manage both EVEN if I DO leave... Either way... Too much stress, not enough energy to deal with this train wreck right now.
Maybe things will get better once I have Nathan and the hormones pop smoke and go away. I'm 99% sure that I have Pre Postpardum Depression (lucky me right?), and the trying to get over/heal from all the affairs thing isn't helping, neither is the lack of emotional support and the being away from my family thing.
I never wanted 'Prince Charming'. I'm a realist, I understand that that sort of person just rarely ever exists... I just wanted to be married to someone who actually listens to what I'm saying to them. Someone who has some understanding of who I am as a person, someone who respects me and won't stab me in the back. Someone who feels remorse. Someone who is genuinely concerned with my mental/physical wellbeing...
Affection would be nice too. Deeper affection than just the physical stuff.
We've been together for three years now, and he doesn't even remember what my favorite color/flower is.
I know it sounds over dramatic... But it really hurts. I mean, its not like I haven't told him what they are ( Gray and Star Gazer Lily)
Going through old CD's a few days ago and I stumbled across one with old downloads and stuff on it. He had letters to Lacey -the first girl he loved- saved on it, and I couldn't help myself, I read them.
I know he's capable of Loving someone completely and with all his soul. I know he's capable of romance and conviction.
He stated "I will never -ever- love anyone as much and deeply as I love you for the rest of my life".
Those are words that you can only say to one person and mean them.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure they were never meant for me.
Believe me, I've felt love like that before. I know what it feels like to be someones world and existence. The sun they gravitate around... I know what it feels like to be wanted and beautiful and desirable.
I was once told that this person would wait their entire life for me ( Granted, we were very young and quite dumb, none the less though... It was very flattering at the time).
Fate is cruel in some ways I think. Because, it has come full circle. I could not love that person the way that they loved me.
And Jon cannot love me the way that I love him, or how I wish him to love me.
I hadn't thought about that person until this time, not a single thought at all.
I don't know where he is, or what he's doing with his life at this point... But I wish that I could apologize to him for all the pain I put him through.
The truth is: I will NEVER be Lacey.
I don't even know her aside from her pictures and some basic information that I scrounged up.
I know that she likes country music, and that her favorite color is Yellow and that we share a favorite flower (strangely enough).
I will never be her though.
I am not good at sharing what I claim as mine. I am not good at walking away from problems ( I damn near kill myself trying to fix them). I am not always calm and composed.
Truthfully, you have no idea how many times I wished I was her. Just so Jon would love me the way he loved Lacey.
But, I know that if I have to become someone that I'm not, then its really no good for either of us.
And so, I guess charma has come full circle.
Once -a long time ago- I -like Jon- hurt someone beyond repair. I walked away to preserve my freedom and acquire my happiness too. I severed bonds and started a new 'life'.
It is now that I realize that I can let go of that hatred for his choice due to my lack of understanding of why he made it. I know why he did it.
I guess all that is left is the lingering wishfulness that he had done it in a less heartbreaking and irresponsible manner.
I had hoped the growth/ life of our son would bring him back fully, and repair some of the damage in our lives.
But the more time that passes, the more I realize that it probably wont.
And even if it did, the healing wouldn't have occured for the right reasons anyhow... So it wouldn't be the way I want/need it to be.
Who knows anyway?
Time keeps passing like grains of sand in an hourglass.
MAYBE, just maybe... It will promote healing.

Christian Values and America

Christian Values and America's Historical Documents
While socially networking, a person will run into many different opinions on all topics. People have their own beliefs and ways of looking at things, so when I was expounding on my ideas, the inevitable topic of religion was brought up. As much as the Golden Rule flows through most religions, there are people who are not able to put their ego aside and open their minds to the simplest possibilities. The specifics of this topic were of such that the United States was founded on Christianity. Religion and politics are highly volatile topics and most people will only argue emotionally instead of stopping and critically thinking about any information they may be given on these two subjects. Many people believe that the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were founded on Christian values, but in closer examination, they both have vague wording and Deist beliefs. Counterarguments
There are several reasons that people believe that the historic documents of the United States were written with Christian values in mind. One reason is, in the 19th Century, a movement started which believed that the settlers were led here by the hand of God (Allison, 1998). This was a popular belief and many people still hold true to this belief. It is taught in public schools that the colonists came over from England because of religious persecution. Another argument for this way of thinking is that, because of the belief that God showed the settlers where to go, that He also must have had led the Founding Fathers to write the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States (Allison, 1998). This lead to the belief that God is needed to preserve not only religious institutions, but also democracy. Human rights are seen to be given by God, which, in a nation that was intolerant of non-Christians, meant the Judeo-Christian God (Cherry, MD, 2011). Our Founding Fathers separated Church and state, but not God and state. Church and state and God and state are sometimes seen as the same idea, which can be confusing, even to a Christian. In addition to this, many believe that this country was founded with Christian values because of a statement that was made in Madison's Federalist Paper Number 37 where it states, that only, "… a finger of that Almighty hand" could have shown him the insight to write the Constitution (Ferguson, 1987). United States Constitution
The United States Constitution was written in such a way as to be intentionally vague and without Christian values, but Deist values instead. The Constitutional Convention had many problems in coming up with this historic document. Every man that attended this convention had their own ideas and ways to convey what they believed needed to be included in this document. Vague Wording
Ben Franklin's ambiguous wording in the Declaration of Independence led Madison to exaggerate the wording even further in the Constitution. The intentionally ambiguous wording that Madison used in the Constitution was used "to bring conformity within a divided country," (Ferguson, 1987, p. 159). In the 14th Amendment it states, "Any person…," but when this document was written African-Americans were not considered people, so Jim Crow Laws were kept in place in many areas of the country. In the convention meetings leading up to what the Founding Fathers wrote to become the Constitution, compromises were made. In the second amendment, it states that people have a right to keep and bare arms. What makes this vague is that most of us take this to mean any, and all people, but what the Constitutional Framers meant was to indicate those that were in the militias. So, those "people" that were in the "militias" could keep and bare "arms," not just anyone could. Deist Beliefs

text: Relations between Inner Asian nomads and Chinese are a continuous theme throughout Chinese history. By investigating the formation of nomadic cultures, by analyzing the evolution of patterns of interaction along China's frontiers, and by exploring how this interaction was recorded in historiography, this looks at the origins of the cultural and political tensions between these two civilizations through the first millennium BC. The main purpose of the book is to analyze ethnic, cultural, and political frontiers between nomads and Chinese in the historical contexts that led to their formation, and to look at cultural perceptions of 'others' as a function of the same historical process. Based on both archaeological and textual sources, this book also introduces a new methodological approach to Chinese frontier history, which combines extensive factual data with a careful scrutiny of the motives, methods, and general conception of history that informed the Chinese historian Ssu-ma Ch'ien.

Moments ago, I got word from my good friend Tarcy that she landed a job with the Department of Homeland Security. She has had a tough time finding work after getting her J.D. and her M.B.A. I am so so so happy for her right now. We struggled together at the cube farm and I'm so happy she is finally getting out. Plus she gets to move to D.C., which I'm kind of jealous about. It is going to be so good for her to have a new adventure. So congratulations Tarcy! It's been a long time coming and I couldn't think of anyone who deserves this more than you!
And here's a quick baby bump picture ... 27 weeks and 4 days and counting.

- On the Windows desktop, Right-click on "My Computer" or "Computer". Left-click on "Manage".
- When the window opens up then left-click on "Device Manager". You should now see every device that are installed onto Windows.
- Double-click on any yellow exclamation points that you see. Another box will open up.
- Click on the "Driver" tab near the top of the box.
- Click on "Update Driver".
- If you need to find the driver on your PC, point the PC to look where you have downloaded your Toshiba Satellite T135-S1305 driver.
- Once finished, reboot the computer.
Toshiba Satellite T135-S1305 Drivers
Install and download Toshiba Satellite T135-S1305 drivers from the web here to your Windows system so you can install your device and make it act accordingly. Drivers are just simple files used by the operating system that are entirely comprised of instructions directly from the manufacturer so that the CPU is able to know what to do in order to actually operate the device that the small text file you download actually pertains to. Without appropriate drivers the device is inoperable and will never work. You should have the correct drivers correctly installed on your Windows operating system in order to utilize the device.
All devices connected to your computer need proper drivers installed in order for them to work correctly. These devices can be a mouse, hdd, cell phone or whatever else can be connected to a computer in some way or another.
- BRAND: Toshiba
- MODEL: Satellite T135-S1305
- SYSTEM TYPE: Personal Computer
- OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10
Because even though each device from the same company is different from one another, there are a lot of different drivers, too. This is the biggest reason why it is a mammoth task to find a specific Toshiba Satellite T135-S1305 driver that you are looking for. For instance, each and every nVidia video card has a particular driver made just for it. So if you do the math you will see that there are so very many drivers only for a particular manufacturer of hardware devices.
Being able to locate the proper Satellite T135-S1305 driver may feel like a never-ending experience. Here is what you need to know in order make your journey a bit easier.
- The brand (if it is a built-in device connected to the computer then you just need to determine the brand of the computer)
- You then should find out the model number.
- The operating system. (for all types of Windows PCs, right-click on "My Computer" or aka "Computer" and then you should left-click on "Properties". An information panel about your PC should now be open)
- Is your OS 64 or 32 bit? (if your operating system is 64-bit it will be stated in the box that pops up from right-clicking on "My Computer" or aka "Computer" and then left-clicking on "Properties". If it doesn't say that you are running a 64-bit system then it is safe to say that you are running a 32-version of Windows.)
It is vital to know the manufacturer and model number of the device and OS version that you will be installing it on. After you have gathered the information you should look online for your specific Toshiba Satellite T135-S1305 drivers so you can install them in your Windows OS computer.
A few of the most recent versions of Microsoft Windows (7, 8, 8.1, and 10) can easily find and download drivers for you and is capable of installing the proper drivers onto the system for the user whenever it detects any new hardware or device attached to the computer. There could be an instance in which you will need to hunt down a Satellite T135-S1305 driver for some device because Windows was not able to fully install it for one reason or another. Which is the most likely reason why you searched the Internet to come here!
A good many companies list drivers of their hardware products online for use by the public. Most manufacturers sites are readily available but not all are optimized to show up in search results and to use. Some brand's websites do not like to think of the usual customers who need to use the site and how hard it is installing drivers. A lot of human being have a tough time figuring out the exact driver they should be looking for and attempting to navigate a poorly designed website can be irritating.
Be wary of downloading Satellite T135-S1305 drivers from a site you do not know. For safety reasons, try to only download from a hardware maker's website if you can. Spyware and viruses can be attached to thousands of different types of files. Going to a bad website and installing the wrong file is a big mistake if the file ends up to be a virus that you downloaded from the Internet. No anti-virus software can not stop ALL viruses. It is because of this that we send you to the device maker's website. The hardware maker's site is more trustworthy than other third party websites.
After you searched, found and then obtained the right driver file from the web for the device attached to your computer system, you are now able to actually install the driver in your system. After getting it downloaded, you might have to uncompress the file if the file ends with .zip, .7z or .rar. Once the file is uncompressed you are able to install the driver. If it does not work you must install the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1305 driver manually.

For our first test we created a structure that was designed to hold beer bottles that were being used at an event for all the interior design studios at RMIT. We were hoping that once people finished with their bottle, they would put it into the structure and take part in creating a light source. The amount of engagement wasn't quite what we had hoped for, but as a first test it aided in coming up with more ideas.
Open publication - Free publishing - More structure
After our first test we undertook a few more separately. Quinn worked on a project that involved people putting their used water bottle or coffee cups into a structure. You can read more about her test here.
Sarah also undertook a test that involved using lights in trash, and getting people to find the lights and bring them together in one spot. And you can read more about her test here.
Janine and myself worked on a project we called [in]duce
we created pieces out of cardboard that are capable of being slotted into one another. The pieces were laser cut and had our logo and blog address on them as well. We then took the pieces to the Queen Victoria Market. At first we put a few of the pieces together ourselves to give people an idea of what could be done with them. We then started passing out some of the pieces, asking people if they would like to join in making a structure, and that they could put a piece anywhere that they like. We received a pretty good response from that, and were even able to get in contact with some people at the market. We will be doing another event at the market in the upcoming weeks. After the success here, we decided to test the same idea in another location. We went to City Square in the CBD of Melbourne. The test here wasn't as successful as the first one, but we were able to gain more ideas from the various tests.

After doing an article about Deaf Laugh, I might as well talk about Deaf Humor. What makes a deaf person laugh so heartily? How can we deliver a good punchline to deaf people in order for them to "buy" our jokes?
Always remember that a deaf person is a visual person. He/she cannot understand long winded dialogues and dramatic exchanges of verbal tones. You cannot easily pull them into watching tearjerkers and heart-wrenching scenes unless you would patiently volunteer to interpret for them. And since, they are visual, they are more of an "action" type of group. So, to choose from between Arnold's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Mandy's A Walk to Remember, Arnold wins hands down. Of course there are some exceptions like Titanic or Ghost which is very graphic or even the famous Children of a Lesser God by Marlee Matlin, an international deaf icon.
The deaf is leaning more towards the "Leslie Nielsen" type of humor than "Billie Crystal" or "Robin Williams" type. I can even categorize them as the "Mr. Bean" type where explanation is not necessary. Rowan Atkinson is hugely popular among deaf people especially here in the Philippines. His brand of comedy strikes right through the deaf's funny bone.
Which leads us to an assessment, deaf humor is basically a slapstick type of humor. Watching two persons clowning around draws out crispy (malutong na tawa) laugh from them or Jim Carrey falling off a cliff in "Me, Myself and Irene" than say David Schwimmer throwing punchlines to Jennifer Aniston in "Friends". The latter would be too boring for them.
So the next time you treat a Deaf to a moviehouse and have a grand time, make sure you select a "girl-stumbling-after-stepping-into-banana-peel" genre. They would surely appreciate it. 🙂

Appeal from order of Court of Common Pleas, Trial Division, of Philadelphia, Feb. T., 1966, Nos. 612, 613 and 614, and June T., 1966, Nos. 187, 323 and 324, in case of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Hassan Dawud.

Author: Hoffman
[ 218 Pa. Super. Page 293]
On August 8, 1966 appellant entered a plea of guilty to two counts of larceny and receiving stolen goods (Bills Nos. 612 and 613, February Sessions 1966). Appellant also pleaded not guilty to a related charge of conspiracy, while two co-defendants pleaded not guilty to all charges. The three defendants were represented by the same attorney. On the day set for trial, the case of one co-defendant was severed because he failed to appear.*fn1 Appellant's guilty plea was accepted on the larceny and receiving stolen goods charges, and the trial judge accepted a demurrer on the conspiracy charge.
[ 218 Pa. Super. Page 294]
The other co-defendant was found not guilty on all Bills.
Immediately after this adjudication, appellant pleaded guilty before the same judge and with the same attorney to a totally unrelated larceny charge. After acceptance of this guilty plea, appellant waived a jury trial and pleaded not guilty to two additional, unrelated Bills charging him with larceny, receiving stolen goods and conspiracy.*fn2 The trial court sustained a demurrer to the larceny and receiving stolen goods charges and convicted appellant of conspiracy to commit larceny.
After hearing all the cases, the court sentenced appellant to two to five years on the Bills to which he had pleaded guilty and six to twelve months on the conspiracy to commit larceny charge, all sentences to run concurrently.
Thereafter appellant filed a petition under the Post Conviction Hearing Act, Act of January 25, 1966, P. L. (1965) 1580, 19 P.S. § 1180-1 et seq. (Supp. 1970). After hearing, this petition was denied, and the instant appeal followed.
Appellant contends that he was denied his constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel because his attorney had a conflict of interest. This claim must be measured against the standards articulated in a number of cases beginning with Commonwealth ex rel. Whitling v. Russell, 406 Pa. 45, 176 A.2d 641 (1962). "Whitling sets up a prophylactic rule to prevent possible injury to criminal co-defendants. If counsel has a conflict of interest in his representation of two co-defendants, we are required to ...

With Reference To A Real Life Example Discuss Money Management vs. Risk
(The Titanic)
Ignoring the time zone difference, it was 90 years ago that the RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage in 1912, struck an iceberg. The collision was not head-on. The berg bumped and ground along the starboard side and then was gone into the calm, moonless night. At first, few thought the damage serious. It was difficult to coax passengers into the lifeboats. Yet three hours later, the Titanic slammed into the ocean floor almost 4000 metres below, torn in two. Over 1500 of her passengers and crew were dead. And the design and operation of sea vessels changed dramatically and perma…

'Bhutan's Got Talent' and other Conservative Policies on Development
When trying to study, I have a problem where my brain decides that it would like to read anything but the subject matter I must learn. This happened today and I stumbled across an article by Easterly ranking donor agencies on best practice where DFID came in second place. Reading this in the context of the upcoming UK elections, I couldn't help but sit back and think about how this would change if the Conservatives were voted into power.
To understand what would be different one must recognise that the line from the Conservative party is that international development, along with health, will be the only departments to be ring-fenced, escaping any budget cuts. However when one looks at the views and opinions of those within the Conservative Party one sees a different picture – 96 per cent of Conservative candidates for the upcoming election actually want to see aid cut. Where the sounds coming from the party are so different from the views within it, how can the two sides be reconciled?
A likely answer is that aid will be used to fund the military and programmes to mitigate the effects of climate change. Of these two outcomes, the prospect of aid funding being merged with military spending has to be the most worrying.
Sadly this is a prospect that is very real; in January David Cameron announced that the Conservatives would set up a stabilisation force, where aid money would be used to fund the activities of the underfunded Ministry of Defence. This led commentators to suggest that Tory policy would merely raid the aid budget to pay for the military.
Perhaps, a symbol of the hypocritical and deceptive nature of this diversion of funds is the way it seems to sit uncomfortably with Shadow Secretary of State for International Development Andrew Mitchell. At the event when Cameron announced the militarisation of aid plans, Mitchell was absent, when asked about his absence journalists were informed he was in Birmingham, however later that day he made a speech outside Parliament. Apparently his plans changed at the last minute! Mitchell's angry outburst at the Oxfid conference could also be understood in the same light as he snapped after a question on the subject.
In addition to the issue of the militarisation of aid, Conservative policy has also encountered criticism for what it calls 'MyAid', where the constituents of development projects are reduced to X-Factor style contestants, as the British public will vote for online for who they would like to see receiving funding – akin to a 'Bhutan's Got Talent'. While this certainly makes projects more accountable to taxpayers, surely any current problems with accountability arise from too much accountability to donors and not enough to beneficiaries.
All of these points come as no surprise when one considers the Conservative party's history with development. When last in power the party cut Britain's aid budget in half.
Although the party may appear to be singing a different tune now, there are many further signs that their attitudes have actually changed little. Most recently, last month a Tory backbencher objected to a private members bill to scrap 'vulture funds' after the Conservative party had pledged its support, blocking reform. Vulture funds are permitted under current UK law and allow investors to buy the debt of poor countries, often at a fraction of their actual value, they then try to win the money back in courts around the world – regardless of whether the country has acquired debt relief or not. Again we can see a startling difference between the Conservative commitment on paper to reducing poverty and the reality of their actions.
Thus while the Conservative Green Paper on Development seems competent and fairly well intentioned – apart from some blatant x-factor populism – the worrying issue is not what the Tories have committed to on paper, but what we can infer about their intentions. Whether indicating they would divert aid funds to the military, or shooting down legislation in Parliament that would put an end to a terribly unjust and amoral practice that preys on poor countries, Tory intentions seem to lie as far from DFID and its developing world beneficiaries as possible. Hence if we do see a Conservative DFID emerging, Easterly's donor ranking is going to change significantly, and although DFID would fall in the ranks, the real losers would be those living in poverty who would have otherwise received assistance.
Kay Lau permalinkApril 8, 2010 8:13 pm
I think the problem might be that in a lot of people's minds (incl. MPs) it's not clear why this money is going to develop other countries, esp when budgets are cut elsewhere- is it humanitarianism, guilt, security etc? and it's slightly different from NGOs in that the tax payer doesn't have any say about whether it wants to contribute or not.

Hardly "Rude-y"
In a story headlined "It's Rudy-y again: Ex-mayor erupts over question about rights," the New York Daily News describes an incident in which the mayor disputes the characterization of someone at a townhall that Americans have lost their rights. The exchange was obviously heated, but there was nothing rude about it -- at least from Giuliani's end.
The fact that the newspaper headline nonetheless chose to characterize it that way suggests that someone over there isn't a Giuliani fan. That's fine. But even if the mayor had slipped a bit over the "rudeness" line in defending the fact that law-abiding Americans' liberties haven't in fact been meaningfully abridged -- despite the paranoid assertions of the left -- that's hardly likely to hurt him with Republican primary voters.
What's more, it might even help him maintain his image as an honest, straight talker, and not the kind of politician who panders to every nut who wants to try to make a point.

Liverpool are reportedly hoping to beat Arsenal to the signing of Shkodran Mustafi.
Germany's Shkodran Mustafi reacts after missing a chance to score
According to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, Liverpool have opened talks with Valencia over a deal to sign defender Shkodran Mustafi, with Luis Alberto potentially going the other way.
The Reds have swooped to land two defenders already this summer in Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan, but after Sunday's 4-3 win over Arsenal showed up some remaining defensive deficiencies, manager Jurgen Klopp may move for another defender - especially with questions over the future of Mamadou Sakho.
Germany's Shkodran Mustafi and Italy's Simone Zaza in action
Now, Spanish radio station Cadena Ser report that Liverpool have been in talks with Valencia for days now, with defender Shkodran Mustafi the subject of their negotiations.
Mustafi, 23, has been a key player for Valencia since his 2014 move from Sampdoria, scoring six goals in 78 games for the Spanish giants - but now, the former Everton youngster could be set for a shock move back to Merseyside.
The report claims that Liverpool are prepared to offer up forgotten Spanish playmaker Luis Alberto - who spent last season on loan at Deportivo La Coruna having made just 12 first-team appearances for Liverpool - in order to get a deal done for German international Mustafi, but an agreement hasn't been reached yet.
Valencia allegedly value Mustafi at €30m (£26m), whilst Liverpool value Alberto at €6m (£5.2m), valuations which neither club are willing to accept right now, with Valencia suggesting Alberto isn't worth so much money given that he's out of contract in a year's time.
Liverpool's Luis Alberto celebrates goal
The two teams are believed to be working on an agreement, and the news will come as a major blow to Arsenal, as the report claims that Valencia director of football Jesus Garcia Pitarch met with Liverpool as well as the Gunners in order to strike a deal for Mustafi.
Mustafi has been Arsenal's top defensive target for some time now, with The Mirror reporting on Tuesday that the centre back was training on his own as he waits for Arsenal to agree his transfer - but instead, he could be heading to Anfield as Liverpool reportedly move in to hijack Arsene Wenger's pursuit of the player.
Would you like to see Liverpool sign Mustafi?

text: On Monday, January 18th at approximately 1:25 pm, the West Webster fire department responded for the report of smoke coming from the roof of the residential structure. First in units found light smoke showing from the roof of the 2-story structure. Firefighters stretched handlines to the breezeway entrance at the front of the building, forced entry into the building and found fire immediately upon entry. The fire on the first floor was quickly knocked down. As firefighters performed a primary search of the residence they discovered the fire had extended to the 2nd floor. Again, crews made quick work of the fire. Command requested personnel to ladder the roof to perform vertical ventilation. It was discovered that what looked like a conventional shingles were in fact a metal roof system. Despite this discovery the roof was opened, which alleviated the heavy smoke condition on the 2nd floor. No occupants were home at the time, and one pet was rescued by firefighters. Engines from the Webster and Ridge-Culver fire departments responded to the scene. Fill-in's were provided by Penfield and Ridge-Culver. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
