Jake Paine of HipHopDX.com sat down recently with Kareem Savage, aka Q da Kid, to talk about his history (BROOKLYN!!!) and making history as TAG Records first recording artist.
"That relationship led to the TAG deal. However, given the major backing Q has, he may be in a greater position than most debuting artists with bringing attention back to New York. He recognizes the accountability that comes with that though. "Being that I'm from Brooklyn, a lot of the great emcees came from [here]. So there's a lot of pressure at the end of the day. People expect a lot 'cause a lot of great music came from here," Q says, citing Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z [click to read], Lil Kim and Shyne. "I gotta make sure my music is correct, and it represents Brooklyn and Hip Hop as a whole. That's what I'm trying to do." It's bigger than New York to Q. "I'm not trying to be a regional artist. I'm trying to be an artist that can go to Africa or China and perform."
Q da Kid interviewed by Jon Michael of Sixshot.com: http://www.sixshot.com/interviews/13079/
"You always hear stories about the rapper that almost made it. They had a deal, a nice buzz, and everything seemed to be going in the right direction. For some unforeseen reason however things just didn't work out. The buzz mysteriously faded, the deal went awry, and the public seemed to lose interest. As a rapper it's easy to get discouraged especially if you've had a deal and lost it but like with any other industry the music business is one that is built on persistence and hard work…."
Boss Lady recently sat down with Brooklyn-born rapper Q Da Kid in the So So Def/Island Def Jam offices.
The first artist signed to Jermaine Dupri's TAG Records, Q talks about his big break after rapping "forever", moving from New York to Miami to Atlanta and the industry connects he's built over the years and crafting a classic debut with It Was All A Dream, due for release later this year.

Title: You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth
Pairing(s): Very light Jack/Carley.
Rating: K+
Warning(s): Brief language.
Note(s): Post-series. This was written in response to JusticeLock2's story, ILY, which in my opinion is a blatant rip-off of my older story, Messages. The story itself is a nod to another of my stories, Let's Get One Thing Straight, I'm Not. Enjoy.~
noun /ˈplājəˌrizəm/
1. The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own
Carley Nagisa definitely was not a morning person.
Her hair was messy, her night clothes were grungy, and coffee was her best friend. Carley stood in front of her open fridge, digging around for breakfast. She smiled, content, as she pulled out a carton of milk. She had only just poured herself a bowl of cereal when her phone went off. Carley, juggling the cereal and milk with one hand, reached into her pocket and glowered at it. She really wasn't in the mood for talking to anyone, but...
"Hello?" Carley asked tentatively, answering the call.
"Hello, I'm looking to speak to Carley Nagisa."
"Yusei?" Carley's head perked up in surprise once she heard the man's voice over the line. She wondered why he would suddenly want to talk to her; they were not particularly close friends and they had not spoken to one another in months. They mainly knew each other by association, and had really only talked on a more personal level during interviews.
"Ah, Carley, I'm glad you picked up. I wanted to know if you read today's front page article in The Neo Domino Tribune."
Carley scowled as she put away the milk.
"Yusei, that's a rival newspaper."
"Well, it may be worth checking out."
"It's a special feature on the members of Team 5D's. It was written to celebrate our victory at the WRGP last year. In any case, I thought you should read it because I found it strikingly similar to an article you wrote about us before our duel versus Team New World."
"What?" Carley jumped up, nearly dropping her bowl of cereal as she did. "Do you... Do you think it was plagiarized?"
"I can't be sure. I'm not a journalist so I'm not as familiar with these sorts of things. I thought I should at least let you know, though."
"Yes, yes, thank you," Carley muttered quickly, rushing into the living room to power up her laptop. "Thanks Yusei, I'm gonna straighten this out."
"I hope everything works out fine." And with that, the line went dead. Carley dropped her cell phone on her desk and began typing furiously. She brought up the homepage for The Neo Domino Tribune and, as she had suspected, there was a link to the article in question at the top of the page. She clicked on it and immediately began reading. To her horror, she realized Yusei was right; this was suspiciously a lot like the article she had written. The information, she realized, had to have been snatched from her article because only she was close enough to some of the team members to know it.
Carley grabbed her cell phone and scrolled through her contacts. It was time to do some investigative work, she thought, as she dialed the first number.
"Wer ist dieses?" answered a groggy female voice after a few long moments.
"Aki! Aki, is that you?" Carley asked desperately.
"... Carley? Do you realize what time it is here in Germany? It's like 1 a.m. and I have classes in the morning," Aki replied, sounding very much irritated now that she had shaken off her sleepiness.
"I know and I'm sorry. It's really important though and I have to ask," the reporter pleaded. The other end of the line fell silent for awhile.
"OK, shoot," Aki finally said with a sigh.
"Have you talked to anyone in the media recently? Any interviews or anything?" she asked.
"... No?"
"What about your parents? D'you think they would've said anything?"
"Mama and Papa? ... No, they would've called first to make sure it was fine with me," Aki said thoughtfully. "Carley, what is this about? Have you gone off your meds?" Carley ignored her and mumbled a quick thanks before hanging up and dialing the next number.
"Hello, who is this?" a gruff voice answered.
"Jack!" Carley's heart fluttered as she spoke. "Listen, I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me."
"Who is this?" Jack repeated again, a little more rude. Carley's face fell.
"It's me, Carley," she said, trying to the mask the pain in her voice.
"Oh." There was a pause. "Oh, yes. Carley. It's been awhile. What do you need?" He suddenly sounded much more amiable, which brought a certain level of comfort to the woman. She smiled and sunk happily in her chair- her content quickly dissapated, however, when she remembered the situation at hand.
"I just wanted to know if you've been contacted by any reporters from Neo Domino recently?"
"Excluding yourself?" he asked dryly.
"No. What is this about?"
"It's complicated. Um... I gotta talk to you later though. Thanks!"
But Carley had already disconnected the call and was working on calling the next person. Within 20 minutes, the reporter had managed to contact nearly everyone who was a part of or was close enough to Team 5D's that would know all the information the copycat article read. After all, it wasn't common knowledge that Ruka had lapsed into a coma at the young age of three, or that Crow had inherited his ace, Blackfeather Dragon, from the late Robert Pearson, or that-
Carley shook her head. Yes, unless one of the people she had spoken to had lied about spilling this information to other media outlets, her article had definitely been plagiarized. There was simply no other conclusion. Reaching her resolve, she picked up her cell phone once again and dialed one last number. This wasn't someone she particularly wanted to chat with, but she really didn't know who else she could speak to regarding this.
"You've reached the office of Mikage Sagiri, this is her speaking."
"Um... yes. It's me, Carley," the journalist began sheepishly.
"Carley? What are you calling for?" she asked cautiously. "I'm sorry, but if you're looking for an interview, you'll have to go through the PR department before talking to me."
"No! No, it's not that." Though Mikage would not have been able to see it, Carley waved her arms around for dramatic effect. "It's just, I have a... legal problem, I guess you could say, and I really don't know anyone other than you who is involved with the law."
"And what legal problem is this?" Mikage asked, suddenly intrigued.
"Well... I think one of my older articles has been plagiarized." Mikage was silent for a long time, and it made Carley wonder if she had simply hung up.
"Carley, you do realize as head of Special Investigations, I have nothing to do with copyright issues, right? My work involves tracking down serial killers. Only if you had found a dead body in the trunk of your car this morning would I be able to help you." Carley felt smaller and smaller as the other woman continued on.
"I know that..." she said quietly. "But I don't know who else to turn to. I'm really, really upset 'cause I put a lot of work into that article. Well, mostly because I had to write it twice because Stephanie spilled her tea all over my laptop and fried the hard drive, but still. You remember, don't you?"
"How could I forget?" Mikage said with a sigh. "Tell you what. I get off of work at 6 p.m. tonight. I'll come over and see what I can do." Carley couldn't help but break out into a grin.
"Thanks Mikage, it means a lot!"
"Uh-huh." There was a click, and that was the end of the conversation.
By the time 7 p.m. rolled around, Carley had begun to worry Mikage had either forgotten or had simply decided to not come. She sucked in her breath and heaved a heavy sigh; she supposed this was to be expected. She knew in her heart there really wasn't much Mikage could do (if anything), and besides, they had never gotten along well. Carley stood up and dragged herself toward her bathroom; she knew it was far too early to sleep, but she sincerely wanted nothing more than to take some melatonin and drown out her sorrows in her dreams. Things would look better in the morning, she reasoned.
However, just before she was about pop a couple of the sleep-inducing pills, there was a knock at the door. She jumped in surprise, dropping the bottle and spilling the little tablets all over the tiled floor. She didn't stop to clean up the mess and rushed into the front room, answering the door. Sure enough, there stood Mikage, along with a taller, teal-haired man. The reporter tilted her head slightly; was this her boyfriend? He looked familiar...
"Carley," regarded Mikage politely. "This is Kazama. He's going to help us." Carley pursed her lips; that name...
"Oh!" Carley exclaimed suddenly, snapping her fingers. "I know you. You're the officer that tried to help clear Jack's name when that imposter started stiring up trouble." Kazama looked amused.
"And I know you," he said with a charming grin. "You're the reporter girl Jack always talked about." Carley's cheeks tinted pink and there was a sharp look in Mikage's eye. Kazama gave the female officer a sheepish look and apologetic shrug.
"Anyway," Mikage said after clearing her throat. "Kazama dropped out of law school before joining the force, so he'll know whether you have a case or not."
"Yeah, could you imagine me a lawyer?" Kazama added jokingly. "It's a pretty scary concept, eh Mikage?"
"Horrifying," she replied with a smirk. Carley's eyebrows shot up in surprise; she had never heard Mikage engage in playful banter before. She supposed love did crazy things to people.
"So, let's see this article," Kazama said, clasping his hands together. Carley nodded quickly and invited them inside. She returned to her laptop and booted it up once again, bringing up the webpage hosting the allegedly plagiarized article. She also opened up a separate tab for a digital copy of the original piece. The reporter then moved out of the way so Kazama could sit to read the two stories. Mikage hovered over his shoulders, also skimming through the pieces. Carley sat off to the side awkwardly, waiting for them to finish. Hardly a minute had passed before the silence became unbearable for her and she spoke up.
"So... uh... Mikage, I didn't know you were seeing someone," she said, fidgeting in her seat. This comment elicited laughter from both of the officers and Carley's face heated up, realizing she had made a mistake.
"You think I'm dating her?" Kazama asked playfully, suppressing a chuckle. "Sorry, but I bat for the other team." Mikage rolled her eyes at his euphemism and Carley, unaware of its definition, looked confused.
"What do you mean?" she asked innocently.
"Well, let's just say that I find Jack Atlas just as attractive as you do." He suddenly stopped, his expression growing serious. "Hm. Probably shouldn't have told that to a reporter," he mused.
"Oh, I-I didn't hear anything," Carley reassured, holding up her hands up defensively. Silence fell once again as her two guests returned to their reading. This time, Carley was determined to keep her mouth shut to prevent further embarrassment.
"Well, I have to say... the articles are uncannily similar," Mikage remarked after a few minutes, leaving Kazama's side and taking a seat beside Carley. "Of course, there always is the possibility that the reporter called the others and got this information themselves."
"No, I talked to everyone today. They said they haven't spoken with anyone recently," Carley said, shaking her head. "Shouldn't that alone be enough proof my article was plagiarized?"
"Unfortunately, no," Kazama said finally, rubbing his eyes after looking at the screen for so long. "I assume that because you studied journalism, you know about the Rupert Murdoch phone hacking scandal?"
"Yes, I learned about it," Carley replied. Mikage, on the other hand, looked lost.
"I haven't heard about this," she said.
"It's a little before our time," Kazama explained. "It happened in 2011. We were just little kids. In any case, Rupert Murdoch was the CEO of a big media company, and it was discovered one of the English newspapers he owned had been tapping into phone conversations to get information."
"Are you suggesting that The Neo Domino Tribune has been spying on the members of Team 5D's for this one article?" Carley replied, skeptical.
"I didn't say that. What I mean is that the fact Jack, or Yusei, or whoever didn't talk to the reporter who wrote the article doesn't prove yours was plagarized. It's too much of a stretch in a court of law, and a judge would find it more likely the information was obtained by unfavorable means," Kazama continued. "The main issue is the similarity of the writing."
"So then it is plagiarized," Carley insisted.
"The problem is that it isn't word-for-word. If it were copied verbatim, you'd have a strong defense. But because they're only similar, it's subjective." Carley's face fell and Kazama added, "However, I don't doubt they were "inspired" by your article. I mean, Mikage and I both agree, they seem too close to not cause raised eyebrows."
"So what can I do?" Carley asked weakly.
"Legally, not much. This is more of a moral issue," Kazama said, standing up. He paused and smirked with a mischevious glint in his eye. "So, my advice would be to stir up a little controversy. Since you have one of the most powerful tools at the tips of your fingers, that shouldn't be too difficult." Carley stared at him blankly. Mikage sucked in her breath, a little annoyed.
"Carley, he means the media. You are the media," she clarified. Something clicked inside Carley's head and she suddenly understood what she had to do.
"Oh! I got it," she said with a flicker of passion burning in her eyes. The flame quickly died, however, as she turned to the two officers and smiled sheepishly. "Thanks for helping me out." Kazama waved his hand dismissively.
"Don't mention it. Hope everything works out," he said. After they had left, Carley settled down in front of her laptop and pulled up a blank document. She then called yet another person, wedging the phone between her ear and shoulder as she began to write.
"Hello, Henshūchō-sama? I know it's late to ask, sir, but I was wondering if you would allow me to write a column for the Sunday paper... ? Just a little opinion about the issue of plagarism, nothing out-of-this-world. I promise you, though, it'll attract a lot of attention!"
Yusei was quite glad he managed to get off work today; he had not had a break in weeks, and he wanted nothing more than to just sit down, relax, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy the Sunday paper. He normally was an early bird, but had opted to sleep in today; even he deserved to be lazy every once in awhile. Before he could reach the comfort of his living room, however, he heard his cell phone go off in the room above him. He pursed his lips, inconvenienced, but climbed back up the stairs to answer the call.
"Hello, Yusei Fudo speaking," he said politely after pressing the receive button.
"Yo, Yusei," said a voice he immediately recognized as Crow's. The scientist broke into a smile.
"Crow, how are you? Strange of you to call now, it's fairly late in Italy..."
"Yeah, yeah, well, I've been getting a huge influx of calls from various media outlets askin' if I know anythin' about this supposed plagiarism scandal that happened in Neo Domino City. Damn people woke me up. Just wondering if you knew anything about it. Does it have to do with what Carley was calling about last week? She asked if I'd been interviewed by any journalists lately and didn't explain what was goin' on before hanging up." Yusei blinked before his eyes widened just the slightest bit.
"Carley? Oh..." He stood and approached his home phone and was quite suprised to see that over 20 messages had been recorded on his answering machine since that morning. "Crow, I'll have to talk to you later."
"Wha- you too?" The line went dead and Yusei turned on his television to see that the alleged Team 5D's plagarism scandal was all over the news. He watched as the blonde anchorwoman, Angela Tanaka, explained that reporter Carley Nagisa had published a controversial column in The Neo Times discussing how widespread plagiarism has become with the invention of the internet, as well as accusing a rival newspaper of plagiarizing one of her older articles. Yusei sunk into his chair and sighed, resting his chin on the palm of his hand.
So much for a lazy Sunday.
He smiled. Well, he supposed he could try to get next Sunday off, too.

Coffee and caramel are two of my favourite flavours - so I decided to create a caramel macchiato cheesecake!
I'm Dawn's husband, Kevin. For over 20 years, I've been the winner. Dawn puts so much into her cooking and loves putting new dishes in front of us all the time. The Carmel Macchiato Cheesecake is another in a long line of great recipes Dawn has come up with. It's the best desert I've had and, thanks to Dawn, I've had a lot of great deserts! - 27 Sep 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
The first time I made this recipe, I overbeat it and didn't use a waterbath. The cheesecake rose while baking, then fell and cracked. It was the ugliest thing I'd ever made! I ended up cutting off the high edges to make it level, then covered the top with a chocolate ganache. Everyone loved it! I've made it two times since and it has turned out beautifully each time. Don't overbeat your cheesecake, and bake it in a water bath (see instructions on baking a cheesecake). The ganache is still a nice complement--scald a cup of heavy cream, then pour it over 1 1/2 cups of chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 5 mins, then stir until melted. Add 1 tsp. of vanilla, stir, and pour /spread on top of cheesecake. - 12 Dec 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This cheesecake was absolutely incredible! I went to Starbucks and asked for a quadruple shot of espresso, used 1/4 cup for the recipe, then froze the rest in an ice cube tray to use for iced mochas. I baked it in a water bath, and when the hour was up, I turned off the oven and left the cheescake in the oven to cool for a few hours. Absolutely no cracks! I made it a couple of days ahead so the flavors had time to mature, and served it with drizzled caramel and whipped cream, just like in the picture. - 23 Oct 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

I turned on the game, and came to the main screen, where it shows my file with my character, but, when I load the file I get a blue and black screen that says, "An error has occurred. Please turn off the power." I'm using an R4, with current wood firmware. I haven't used Pokesav before either. I tried to copy my file, format and put back on with no results. Is my file gone, or can I recover the data?

In his morning Mass Tuesday, Pope Francis pondered the many "goodbyes" in our lives and drew attention to persecuted Christians throughout the world, reminding his hearers that each "farewell" could be our last.
Both readings at Mass spoke of "farewells" Tuesday, and Pope Francis capitalized on the opportunity to reflect on what it means to say goodbye to our loved ones, and even to our lives on earth.
In his homily, given in the chapel at the Santa Marta residence where Francis lives in the Vatican, the Pope noted that Jesus takes leave of his disciples at the Last Supper before his death and ascension to the Father, and St. Paul weeps with the elders from Ephesus as he bids them farewell before going to Jerusalem. "Jesus bids farewell, Paul bids farewell, and this will help us to reflect on our farewell," he said.
The Pope's thoughts turned immediately to persecuted Christians throughout the world who wake up each day wondering whether it may be their last.
"We think today of those poor Rohingya of Myanmar. When leaving their homeland to escape persecution they did not know what would happen to them."
"And for months they are in a boat, and when they finally arrive in a city, where they receive water and food, they are told: 'go away.' This is a farewell," he said.
"Think of the farewell of Christians and Yazidis, who think they will never return to their land because they have been chased from their homes. Today."
But for a Christian, what does it mean to "say goodbye"? the Pope asked.
In our lives, he said, "there are so many goodbyes," small and large, and there is "so much suffering, so many tears in so many of them."
Think, he said, of the "goodbye from a mother, who gives a final hug to her son going off to war," and every day she wakes up with the fear "someone will come and tell her, 'Thank you so much for the generosity of your son who gave his life for his country.'"
And then there is "the final farewell that we all have to face, when the Lord calls us to the other side. I think of this," he said.
These great farewells in life, especially "the last one" are not the temporary goodbyes of "see you soon" or "I'll see you later," Francis said, that one says when he knows when and how he will return, but the definitive "goodbye."
The Pope questioned whether Christians really think enough about their own death, the final farewell to life on earth. "Do I think of the big farewell, my great farewell, not when I will say, 'See you later,' or 'Until next time,' or 'See you soon,' but 'Goodbye'?" he asked.
The only solution to the "great farewell" is trust in God, Francis said. He reminded his hearers of the origins of the Italian word for goodbye, "addio," which literally means "to God" (just as the English goodbye comes from "God be with ye").
As we think of Jesus and Saint Paul and their farewells, Francis said, we do well to think of our own. "Who will be the person to close my eyes?"
"It is good for me to imagine myself at that time," he said, and to make an examination of conscience: "What did I do? I did this, that, the other thing."
"Am I prepared to entrust my dear ones to God? To entrust myself to God?" he asked.
The Pope concluded his words by encouraging everyone to "to think that one day" we must also say that word "goodbye," and we must say, "I entrust my soul to God; I entrust my history to God; I entrust my loved ones to God; I entrust everything to God," he said.

Pakistan's Supreme Court has ruled there was insufficient evidence to oust Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over corruption allegations, but has ordered a high-level investigation into the charges.
"A thorough investigation is required", Justice Asif Saeed Khosa said.
The court panel was split, with two judges recommending that Sharif should step down and three backing instead a further investigation. At the centre of the issue was the legitimacy of the funds that the prime minister's family used to purchase some of its high-end properties in London via offshore companies, media reports said.
Sharif's ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party says the wealth was acquired legally through family businesses in Pakistan and the Gulf.
Pakistani opposition leader and Chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, Imran Khan, arrives at the Supreme Court, in Islamabad, April 20, 2017.
The case was based on several identical petitions by Khan and others about alleged illegal assets of the family Prime Minister Sharif in London.
After nearly two months of reserving the decision regarding the Panama papers hearing, the Supreme Court (SC) finally revealed the big decision. If the Supreme Court announces punitive measures against Sharif or his family members as part of the decision, it may lead to a serious crisis in government.
The final verdict saw two dissenting notes in the five-judge bench, with Justice Asif Saeed Khosa and Justice Gulzar Ahmed ruling against Sharif, saying he should be disqualified, while the other three were in favour of forming a Joint Investigation Team for a fresh probe.
Sharif's party would have remained in power even if the verdict had ordered for the removal of the prime minister. All opposition parties are demanding Sharif resign while the JIT probes his family's finances, because they claim that state institutions can be subject to manipulation by the prime minister.
The JIT will present its report before the bench after every two weeks.
Before the ruling, Maryam Sharif thanked her father's supporters on her official Twitter account. Observers have called the case important for Pakistan, which ranked a lowly 116th out of 176 countries in a corruption index released by Transparency International in January.
Prime Minister Sharif's governement was sacked by then President Ghulam Ishaq Khan for alleged corruption in April, 1993.
Aurangzeb said the Supreme Court had rejected the prayers of the petitioners.
It also said DG Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) failed to probe white collar crimes. "After the Supreme Court's decision, Sharif's party should have asked him to resign but they are distributing candies to declare victory", Khan said.

The vast majority of consumers probably do not realize that if they are injured by a generic drug versus a brand-name drug, they may have no meaningful recourse. A brand-name drug manufacturer is not legally responsible for injuries caused by a generic copy cat drug. One would reasonably expect that the responsibility for harm caused by a defective generic drug would lie with the manufacturer that decided to make, sell, and profit from a knock-off drug patterned after a brand-name equivalent. One would be wrong.
In Pliva, Inc. v. Mensing, decided by the Supreme Court of the United States on June 11, 2011, one of the issues was whether the generic drug manufacturer could be sued under Minnesota and Louisiana state tort laws that required a manufacturer that is, or should be, aware of its drug's danger to label it in a way that renders it reasonably safe. In a decision authored by Justice Thomas, the Court found that the only duty of a generic manufacturer is to ensure that its warning label is the same as the warning label of the equivalent brand-name drug that has already been approved by the FDA. The crux of the Pliva decision is that suing a generic manufacturer for negligent failure to warn is a sure ticket to having your case dismissed based on federal pre-emption.
The next issue being taken up by the Supreme Court is whether a patient injured by a generic drug can sue on the theory that the drug itself was defective. The case is Bartlett v. Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, and the Court will hear arguments on this case this month. In Bartlett, the patient took a generic NSAID and developed Stevens -Johson Syndrome. The drug caused a severe skin reaction resulting in two-thirds of her skin falling off, severe burns, permanently damaged lungs and esophagus, and blindness. The issue to be decided in Bartlett is significant because generic drugs now account for 80 percent of all prescriptions in the United States. Moreover, it is typically the patient's insurance company or entitlement program that mandates the use of generic drugs. Most patients have no choice.
Mutual Pharmaceutical will argue that the outcome of this generic drug design defect case should be the same as the outcome in the Pliva case since, like the warning label, the generic manufacturer has no control over the drug's design. The United States Court of Appeals for the First Cirucuit in Boston disagreed with Mutual's argument, reasoning that even if Mutual could not have changed the drug's design, it could have discontinued selling an unreasonably dangerous drug and taken it off the market. If the Supreme Court overturns the First Circuit's decision in Bartlett, consumers of generic drugs may be left with nothing more than a cause of action for manufacturing defect. In other words, they would have to prove that the manufacturer failed to follow the brand-name manufacturer's design, and that this failure was a proximate cause of the consumer's injuries.

I love living here. office staff is always friendly and helpful when I pass thru or have a maintenance request. My apartment was very clean and in good condition when I moved in
Very confusing rental process. Apartments may look luxury but they are not. Please be aware there are additional fee's that they charge you that they do not tell you about prior to signing your lease. $15 trash fee (not valet) $3 pest fee charge and $3 online billing fee. Plus standard water and sewer fees.
I love my apartment and the staff is friendly
The pool hasn't had clear water in it all summer, the whole place has an ant problem, the complex has security problems.
Overall, the staff is VERY NICE! they are caring and understanding. However, they are VERY understaffed when it comes to maintenance. I have to wait WEEKS or MONTHS to get something fixed (I can get it fixed faster if I constantly remind them, in which I come off annoying). Why do I get the feeling that the Maintenance now hiring sign will be up there for YEARS?! Great complex and great staff, just hire MORE maintenance guys!

Copyright © Egypt, Cradle of Civilization
Deciding to write about the religion of the Ancient Egyptians was like opening up Pandora's Box! Not only was religion a belief to the Egyptians, it was a way of life and it governed they're very existence. It seems they were motivated to create the civilization they have left behind, solely for the gods. We know a lot about they're everyday lives, the jobs they did, what they grew, what they ate, their government, their medical technology, even how they created their magnificent monuments. We know they dedicated their lives to appease the deities, but what exactly was the belief that was strong enough to create one of the most sophisticated societies in history?
The Egyptian religion was based on polytheism, or the worship of multiple deities, except for the brief period during the reign of King Akhenaton, who was a monotheist, believing in one god, the sun-disc, Aten. There was as many as 2000 gods and goddesses worshiped during the course of their history, often represented as part human and part animal. While some of these gods where worshiped throughout the country some were only popular in a certain location, with different gods being prominent at different periods of Egyptian history. These deities represented various forces of nature and the myths associated with them evolved and changed over time, so really Egypt never had a definite hierarchy of deities nor a unified mythology. In Egyptian mythology the Supernatural was never separated from humanity.
Not only did the Egyptians believe that all the elements and forces of nature where controlled by the gods, but that each element of nature was a divine force in itself. The gods represented phenomena, such like Shu which represented air, as they could also include animals, as Sekhmet, the deification of the ferocity of lions. Deities could also represent more abstract things, as Horus who represented the power of kingship. These deities were worshipped with offerings and prayers, in local and household shrines as well as in formal temples managed by priests. The hymns, prayers and offerings were for the purpose of placating the gods, gaining favors and turning them to human advantage. Because different deities existed in different manifestations, and some had multiple roles, the mythology remains a very complex.
But the most fascinating concept is the force of Ma'at. The Ma'at translates to include "truth," "justice," "order" and "harmony." It was the fundamental of all the natural forces, as it represented the eternal order of the universe, both in nature and in human society. The Ma'at ensured the existence of the world stay in equilibrium. According to Ma'at all people and classes of society lived in harmony, and all the forces of nature existed in balance. Ma'at encompassed the cyclical patterns of time, the seasons, and of human generations, it also embodied the structure of the world, which kept each element in its place. This meant that any disruption of Ma'at was fundamentally harmful, so all people were expected to behave in accordance with it.
Egyptians regarded kingship as a force of nature, where the pharaoh was recognized as being both king and god. Although be was seen to be human with vulnerability, he was also regarded to have divine powers, as he was the intermediary between the Egyptian people and the gods. He was of course expected to uphold Ma'at in society, by defending the country from enemies, appointing fair officials, settling disputes between his people, managing the food supply, and appeasing the gods with temples and offerings. It was the pharaoh's responsibility to honor and content the gods, which is how many temples grew to be huge, such as the Temple of Amun at Karnak, which is the largest religious structure in the world.
Ancient Egyptians tried to understand their place in the universe and their mythology centers itself on nature, the earth, sky, moon, sun, stars, and the Nile River. Trying to understand their mythology and its inter-woven complex connection with their very existence, we may discover not only secrets of the ancient, but we may very well stumble on secrets of the universe.

Yew Tree Ponds / Fry's
Westwood, Nottinghamshire
Yew Tree Fishery, or Fry's as a lot of people know it by, is a small 3 pond fishery located in Westwood, Nottinghamshire. This is a good place to visit if you need a confidence boosting session where you can put a few fish in the net.
There are 3 lakes in total which are fed by a small brook that runs alongside. There are plenty of small fish along with some decent sized carp - the carp run close to 20lbs. Don't make the mistake of opting for gear that is too light, if you hook into a big fish then you want to make sure you get it on the bank. It may be wise to fish with a more positive approach than you would expect, there are a lot of smaller rudd and roach which may plague your session.
Main Species at Yew Tree Ponds / Fry's
Crucian Carp
Top Methods
There are no secrets to putting a good weight together here, just make sure you fish with baits that suit the time of year - make sure you don't over feed in the winter. As with anywhere, don't forget to fish in the margins. In the warmer months the carp can be caught on the surface using bread or dog biscuits - is there a better way to catch carp?
Rules and Bans
- There used to be a sign that said "No Boilers", which should probably have read "No boilies"
- No groundbait
- No night fishing
Tickets and Prices
A session down at Yew Tree ponds will cost you £3.

Product Description
Another way wristbands support your fundraising efforts is by providing accessibility manage and promotion for your fundraising occasions. You could line up guest speakers or celebrities to draw in crowds of folks to attend your event. It's a good thought to use wrist bands to control accessibility at your event or determine various groups of folks. You could use various colours to signify and honor VIP donors or volunteers who possibly have specific access. Or you can even use them as your visitors' ticket pass to get into the occasion.
The perennially well-known auto wash fund raiser is a summer staple and for excellent explanation. Church youth groups can usually count on it to increase hundreds of bucks for mission trips and other youth ministry demands.
Modern bracelets may possibly also attract the taste of our present day moms. Bracelets that could come into rubber band varieties like these rubber bracelets bands. The present day globe did not stick its patterns from the ancient globe the place bracelets must be created by gold or silver. There are now bracelets that may fit for our loving mothers created out of rubber that gives a lesser excess weight to carry. Examples of these are these rubber bracelets bands. These new bracelets may possibly always be excellent to seem at even when mothers in their late 40's wear this.
If you want to make an impression, it's important to know how to get together proper. Hitting the nightclub scene like a rock star implies taking your design to one more degree, no matter whether it's how you dress or how your get around or even how you act.

The best place to practice Qigong is outside.
Outside in a city park, or in nature, or in a rain forest. Qigong is best out of the heat of strong sun, and under the shade of a favourite tree. It helps to have water nearby. Choose a place you feel comfortable with.
If you train on the beach, then train in the early morning or during the evening.
For more information about the hows and whys, have a look at what Dr Yang says in 'The 24 rules of Qigong practice' or this article about Adopting Qigong by Hilda Wei Williams.
Remember that Qigong is a dynamic experience. There are 'rules' laid down by practitioners who came before us, but they are not set in stone.
With Love

Majority of the work that I do is online. I'm lucky enough to have extra time to do activities like this. Few months ago, I joined a workshop on how to make French Macarons by Chef Mon Cardenas of Monster Kitchen.
I've always been curious as to how french macarons are made. I heard it's complicated, accuracy is very important. The workshop was on a weekend, an 8am-4pm activity. Workshop fee was Php800.
Most of my classmates were already into baking and some even owned a bakery. I was a total newbie. It was no big deal though, they were all friendly and my group mates were considerate of me. I also learned a lot from them.
It's not time consuming to make french macarons. The complex part of making it is the meringue. It needs to have the right amount of ingredients and should be mixed well. Not overly mixed, just right. After the meringue, the filling. You can be totally creative with it, from chocolates to fruit jams.
The colors are just food colorings. As per Chef Mon's advise, use gel-based food coloring since it's highly pigmented compared to the powdered ones.
It's always fun trying something new and you also get to take home some of these colorful french macarons. Productive weekend, indeed!

I saw Angela's post a while ago titled Dream Home and I felt inspired to give you guys an idea of what my dream home would look like too.
As you most likely know by now, I am a huge lover of Pinterest! I have done a few posts before if you wanted to check those out. I posted about Flat Lays which went down amazingly well with you guys(!), Travel, and Office Space – as well as themed Valentine's Day and Christmas ones too.
Living Room
I have always been obsessed with grey, raised sofas so of course I had to feature those! I like more patterns when it comes to living rooms – patterned, vintage rugs and cushions for example look amazing and are great at creating a homely space. I also have been loving mustard yellow as a pop of colour when using a lot of grey! Finally, I think photo or print walls look amazing in living rooms – I think it is one of the most social areas of the house and so should look one of the best too; something I think photo/print walls are great at as they totally capture someone's personality.
Did you like anything I included? What would you pick in your dream home?

Hayato Storyline
Hayato, Japan. June 21, 1582. Honnou-ji, Kyoto. Although the brutal warlord Oda Nobunaga was cementing his control of Japan, it wasn't enough to slake his thirst for power. Seeking immortality and to become a new demon king, he prepared a ritual at Honnou-ji in Kyoto. The feudal lords banded together and waged a fierce battle with the Oda forces in a desperate last bid to stop the evil lord. While the armies clashed outside, the legendary samurai, Hayato, fought his way into the temple and challenged Oda himself to stop the ritual. While the two traded blows, a pillar of light erupted from the temple, casting all it enveloped into a stranged world. Weakened by the unfamiliar energy of this world, Hayato must regain his strength and battle once more against the spread of Nobunaga's dark ambitions.
Hayato Notes
- Although Hayato is male as far as the story is concerned, you'll be able to play as female or male version of Hayato.
- After the tutorial at Honnou-ji, your journey will continue at Momijigaoka, in the Mushroom Shrine area of Zipangu.
- Hayato must have one of his special katana equipped in order to use all of his skills. Make sure that the weapon type says "katana" in the item description.
- Since he is from ancient Japan and his primary language is Japanese, Hayato's voice is in Japanese. His animated video has subtitles, and he occasionally speaks when performing some skills. The female version of Hayato has also been given voiceovers when performing certain skills.
- Hayato and his Sengoku allies and enemies are able to communicate with the denizens of their new home through the magic of Maple World. Thus, their text dialogue will be translated.
- The Tot's Know-How guide system has been enabled for Hayato.
- Katana for Hayato have been added to the wares of many weapon vendors.
- Each Hayato character has its own individual Cash Inventory not shared with other characters.

Maplestory Hayato Videos
Ayumilove Hayato 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Job Skill Preview
What weapon does Hayato use?
Hayato uses a Katana, with a Wakizashi as his sub-weapon. The Wakizashi can be scrolled for potential.
What type of weapon is a Katana?
Katana is a two-handed weapon.
What is Hayato's character card bonus?
Hayato's character card bonus is +% minimum critical damage. 2% for B rank, 4% for A rank, 6% for S rank, and 8% for SS rank.
Which Vip hair should i get get for my Hayato?
Spiky Shag from NLC/Orbis, Short Top Tail from Kerning/Showa, Battle Mage from Edelstein.
How are DBs compared to Hayato
From your person preference, how are DBs (Dual Blades) compared to Hayato. Are they more fun or less fun compared to Hayato. If they're more fun, what do they have that Hayato doesn't? I'm debating on making a DB without trying Hayato. (Below is a list of opinions from MapleStory players)
- Much more fun than my DB. One of the big downers for me is that DB's need (NX) mastery books for almost all advancements. That's like an instant class killer for me. Then, just the fluid play-style of Hayato convinces me to never try another class.
- DB has more movement mobility and Hayato has more attacking mobility. DB is stronger than Hayato but Hayao has a pretty unique play system.
- If you ask me the only thing DB has over Hayato is shadow partner and a solid 1v1 attack skill that doesn't suck lol. The only real comparison you can make is that flying assaulter chains into tornado spin/bloody storm like Hayato chains his spinning rush skill into his assaulter like skill. Other than that, I'd say they're two completely different experiences. Try them both and see what you like the most. Also, I think Hayato overall has more mobility than Dual blades. If you chain skills correctly they can clear large distances in no time flat. Plus Vapor blade when combined with Falcon dive gives them far superior vertical mobility.
- Hayato- Sucks mp dry, I am sorry but he is drinking potions like water, minor annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless. No FJ, in an age where nearly every job has some sort of FJ, Hayato not having a FJ is eh… That being said a Hayato moblity is still very good and you can certainly get from point A to point B- but you wont be flash jumping.
- Hayato is pretty fun, but I feel like he's kind of overdone. Still prefer DBs even though they have less things. DBs have simplicity and movement and Hayato just has a bunch of stuff.
Hayato uses too much MP!
[QUESTION] Hayato uses way too much MP, which one of the downsides of the class. Anyone got thoughts on that? [ANSWER] Get Jr. boogie 1 Familiar, which helps a lot. (15% of mp every so seconds). Also, toggle off Battoujutsu Stance if you are not training.
What Hayato has taught me?
Hayato has taught me to not spam the up key when approaching portals as it triggers Vapor Blade. You are not the only one looking retarded trying to leave a map, just to jump 50 ft in the air.
What are the 4th Job Skills that requires Mastery Book?
Hayato 4th Job skills that requires Mastery Book are Shinsoku, Falcon Dive, Hitokiri Strike, Iron Skin, Jinsoku and Cleaver.
What mystery mastery book should I get from the event?
Upon reaching Level 70 Hayato, the GM NPC will speak to you to reward 1 of the 4 Mastery Book for 4th Job Skill which are Shinsoku 30, Hitokiri Strike 30, Jinsoku 30 and Cleaver 30. I recommend choosing Cleaver as your free mastery book as it significantly boost your damage by 30% and ignores 35% enemy defense!
Is Willow Dodge not working for anyone else?
[QUESTION] It's maxed and I never get the damage buff. [ANSWER] It most definitely works but the problem is that its proc rate is 60% of 25% (0.6 x 0.25 = 0.15) which means at max level, you have 15% chance of activating and stacking the buff. Once you maxed Jinsoku, it will be a easier to get the buff. It's a lot more common to see it hit x5. It doesn't last long and it isn't a skill you can rely on, but if it were a skill that activated and stacked to 5 all of the time with ease, it'd be over powering in a sense.
Does Shouryuusen combos not work?
[QUESTION] Like I can't seem to chain dankuusen or whirlwind cut to it. I go into the air, but the attack doesn't hit the launched monsters. Not really lagging… but I guess I am? Anyone else have a problem? [ANSWER] It's because they're dead before they launch into the air. Try it on monsters 20 levels higher than you.
Is Battoujutsu Soul Skill Messed Up?
[QUESTION] Am I the only one who had my Critical Rate at 30% (stance added 25%) before, but after putting 3 points into it, have it down to 28%? [ANSWER] Battoujutsu Soul intentionally reduces Critical Rate until the skill is around level 6.
Adding 1 Skill Point into Bloodletter upon 4th Job Advancement?
[QUESTION] Shouldn't Blood Letter be a one-pointer at the beginning? Usually upgraded poison is worth one point (Thief experience). [ANSWER] Unlike the Thief DOT skill, it does not stack. The difference between max level Merciless Blade and Level 1 Bloodletter is 2% damage per second and a 1% higher activation rate. It's not worth it at all.
What would you suggest a Hayato strive for with Inner Ability?
[ANSWER] Critical rate, total damage, or boss damage. Something along those lines.
Hayato Rai Sanrenzan additional attack chance not activating?
[QUESTION] I maxed Rai Sanrenzan, so it has 30% chance of activating bonus hit (green numbers). But I see it maybe once every 10 attacks, is it just me? [ANSWER] 30% chance to activate is only happens on the 2nd and 3rd slash of Rain Sanrenzan. When it successfully occurs, it will pop up a green number instead of red (critical) nor yellow (regular damage).
Is Hitokiri Strike bugged?
[QUESTION] Hitokiri Strike (Issen if you use the JMS names) is meant to add Critical Rate during its buff after you use it. I see the buff icon appear at the top right, but no additional Critical Rate is added to my stats page. Is this Critical Rate Boost hidden? Can someone who has it maxed confirm if you see more Critical damage with it up? Or is it just plain bugged? [ANSWER] With maxed Hitokiri Strike, you will notice the difference in amount of critical hits after using it. The Critical Rate boost is hidden from the Stats Window.
A quick tip to help you guys out with Vapor Blade
I repeatedly have other Hayato asking how I use Vapor blade with out the landing delay (sheathing your sword in time consuming manner). It's easy. Just use any Sanrezan skill right after Vapor Blade and spam away.
Can you fuse Wakizahis?
You can't do it in JMS. I'd assume you can't do it in GMS, either, but I haven't tried yet.
Hayato quests necessary?
[QUESTION] Is the questline for hayato necessary? Are there any rewards? [ANSWER] Not necessary.
Hayato Ap build?
[QUESTION] Is it all STR? I looked at some guides but it didnt say anything. [ANSWER] After the Tempest Update, you don't have to put AP (Ability Points) in secondary stats. Click the big auto-assign button and allow MapleStory to distribute all AP into STR (Strength) for Hayato as he is a warrior.
