I'm tired of crying and despising and everything that I see
I tried to meet you but it's always the same
No use good for nothing man you should be ashamed[/i]
In this verse, he mentions that he has tried to get with Sylvia and he says he's tired of despising everything that he sees. This could be his own self as well as perhaps that Sylvia has become a target of his hate because he couldn't have her.
[i]I couldn't help it I turned around
The deed was done now I can't find my way out
No point resisting when the pull is so strong
Just keep so quiet cause your silence speaks for everyone
I'm thinking that perhaps he is talking about kidnapping and raping her. He couldn't resist having his way with her. He mentions the deed being done and there being no way out. This could be of his miserable life or he's saying that he's raped Sylvia and that's it.
For no good reason, for no good cause
I had to leave you, had to leave you where I left the car
If you walk, if you walk anyway
With one guy for one girl
The way he's mentioned about her being left where he left the car again suggests that he has kidnapped her. The "shhh" i perhaps him telling his desperate victim to be quiet.
There is a girl ugly as me
Wait til you see her, you will not believe
Tied her in ribbons, left her for hours
Sylvia please go take a shower
Here he is projecting his hatred onto Sylvia and is trying to make her feel as low and bad as her rejection has made him feel. This continues in the next two verses.
[i]ALL! HAIL! QUEEN OF THE GUILTY![/i]
Here he's pinning the blame firmly on Sylvia. I can't help but think he's also trying to make out that perhaps had she not rejected him, Sylvia would not have to be punished for it.
I interpret this song as being a song about a very unstable man sick of rejection who finally snaps over his object of obsession.

Jordan Rodgers, the younger brother of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, was a quarterback too. He played at Vanderbilt and got signed to a number of NFL teams but was released before having the chance to play an NFL game. On The Bachelorette, Jordan said his career had gotten in the way of his relationship. His ex-girlfriend, the super hot personal trainer Brittany Farrar, says it wasn't "sitting on the bench" that ended their relationship it was his cheating (see below).
Brittany Farrar is good friends with actress Olivia Munn who is dating Jordan's big brother Aaron. Munn recently posted a pic with Bittany and her dog Frankie and wrote: "wiped out after his first @brittany.farrar workout. I feel ya buddy. She kicks my butt, too." If you want to "tune in next week for more BS" as Farrar says, The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8pm on ABC.

Performance captured realistic animation films have never been made before in India. So when a filmmaker takes up the challenge of making a film using that technology they need to be applauded for their ingenuity no matter what the end product turns out to be. Having said that, all the money that has been spent on Kochadaiiyaan would turn out to be a waste if the backers are not able to recover their huge investment. So does Kochadaiyaan fully satisfy all the Rajini fans? Let's dissect.
Story: Kochadaiyaan takes us back to the princely era of India where India was a land of various flourishing kingdoms. Rannvijay Rana (Rajinikanth) is the general of the army of the kingdom of Kalingapuri. His all round skills as a warrior puts the kingdom of Kalingapuri at an advantage against the kingdom of Kottaipatanam. But there are many underlying secrets that play a part in the story. Rannvijay is in love with the daughter of the King of Kottaipatanam (Deepika Padukone). Rannvijay also has to avenge the death of his father who was killed by his own king Mahendra (Jackie Shroff). The ending of Kochadaiiyaan leaves a scope for a sequel.
Screenplay and Direction: Veteran film writer Ravikumar has written the script of Kochadaiyaan keeping in mind the aura and charisma of Superstar Rajinikanth. And to a large degree the story keeps us hooked with the second half being the better of the two halves. But unfortunately, the direction by Soundarya Rajinikanth doesn't live up. The film feels non-fluid and feels like a jagged glue-up of set-pieces created 1000s of miles from each other.
For a film like Kochadaiyaan the technical aspects of it needed to be first class. But unfortunately, India still can't compete with Hollywood when it comes to budgets and the budget surely plays a big part in the final product seen on screen. Let's just say the animation left a lot to be desired. The characters on screen look like waxed-up mannequins when viewed in close shots. The cinematography and editing are good. The music by AR Rahman is largely generic but they suit the film well. The background music makes the film better but the music hampers the pace of the film.
Acting: There's not much that can be said about the acting in Kochadaiyaan since it is an animation film. But Rajinkanth does well with his voice modulation and the dialogues written for him can only suit him and his reputation. Jackie Shroff, Deepika Padukone and Nasser are all decent with their voice acting.
Conclusion: If you are ready to go back in time and experience the kingly battles and politics, and if you are ready to give your time to an Indian animation film then Kochadaiiyaan deserves to be seen because of the many firsts it brings to Indian screens. Rajini fans should not be disappointed. If you are not a Rajini fan, just don't go in with a lot of expectations and you might even enjoy Kochadaiyaan. Give it a chance.
Box Office: Kochadaiyaan is not expected to open huge in North India but it will take a bumper opening in the South. If the families warm up to it, then Kochadaiyaan could have long legs at the box office counter.

Faster, leaner SDK delivers market-leading player speed for enhanced viewer engagement
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - April 11, 2017) - Kaltura, the leading video technology provider, today introduced a faster, leaner version of the Kaltura Mobile Video Player SDK for iOS and Android phones/tablets. Available immediately, this native software provides the framework and tools for embedding the Kaltura Video Player into iOS/Android applications. The new Mobile Video Player SDK has been designed from the ground up to produce market-leading performance and the ultimate mobile viewing experience. It delivers an incredibly fast load time of under 1 second, as well as optimized APIs for shorter integration cycles, allowing developers to quickly and easily build custom applications using the player framework.
The ultra-fast loading speeds are especially important for publishers and developers who want to add more functionality to mobile services - such as various DRM technologies, multi-audio tracks, captions, and a mix of monetization options - without impacting video load time. The player also supports casting to Google Cast and Apple AirPlay as well as downloading videos for secure offline viewing.
Kaltura's new Mobile Video Player SDK for iOS and Android is fully integrated with the Kaltura platform, which supports all major playback options (HLS/DASH). In addition, the player natively supports Kaltura's market-leading DRM module. The player selects the required DRM dynamically - based on the operating system and device type used - and the platform does the encryption and licensing in real-time, saving publishers on DRM and storage costs. Kaltura supports all major mobile DRM technologies: Widevine Modular/Classic for Android devices and Apple Fairplay for iOS devices. It also supports any VAST- compliant ad server, the IAB's Video Multiple Ad Playlist (VMAP) specification, and Google's IMA plugin. Supported ad types include: pre-rolls, post-rolls, mid-rolls, and companion ads.
"As video service providers look to add more complexity and intelligence to their mobile offerings to enhance the viewing experience, the requirement for an advanced mobile video player that can handle all the background heavy lifting and still offer a near-real time load time is rapidly becoming a must-have," commented Ron Yekutiel, Kaltura Co-founder, Chairman and CEO. "Our new Mobile Video Player SDK for iOS and Android makes this possible - Kaltura customers can add multiple audio tracks, a mix of payment options, captions and much more to their mobile players without compromising player load times."
Key features supported include: online and offline playback, live streaming, on-the-fly DRM selection, multiple audio tracks, captions, multiple monetization options, Chromecast/AirPlay support, and support for Kaltura's advanced analytics including Youbora.
The Kaltura Mobile Video Player SDK for iOS and Android has already been integrated with the Kaltura MediaSpace mobile apps for Kaltura's market-leading YouTube-like video portal and with the Kaltura OTT TV end user mobile apps. Existing customers are in the process of being migrated over to the new version.
The demo apps are now available for download from the Google Play Store and the App Store.
For further information please click here to visit the documentation page.

I asked everyone to please let me know what they wanted me to say.
The first request I received was "to embrace everyone"!
The reason we all came here was to talk about how great the system is, right?
We all share a common bond.
Treated equally, fairly, without discrimination with dignity and respect!
We all face is a "STRUGGLE" that we should NOT have to endure!
When we arrived here on the first day
we all had different hopes and different expectations.
We learned about Disability History, People First Language, Building Community, Inclusion, so many dreaded "Regulations" and so much more.
Every topic was "riveting", informative and inspirational!
The exercise on Person Centered Planning caused me to closely reexamine my own values and priorities.
There is a LOT wrong with the "System" and it needs to be fixed!
The system does not VALUE diversity. it is adversarial,
ineffective, grossly inadequate, unequal, and almost criminal!
Education is the Foundation we all depend on.
Our System has failed all of us!
Services are only provided to those who know how to get them!
Change and growth are never easy even in people who have common goals!
With every NEW CHOICE we are given and every NEW ACTION we take,
we CREATE the system that others will use tomorrow!
We have the knowledge and thus the power
to make them do the things they didn't want to do!
"Those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action." Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence.
We have a real opportunity now to make meaningful change.
Friends are like angels, they help us fly when we forget we have wings.
Thank you again for the opportunity I have been given
to share my thoughts with you.
I am going to miss each and every one of you.
I asked everyone to please let me know what they wanted me to say.

YA Author John Green to Drive Corvette Pace Car at Indy Grand Prix
Chevrolet has announced that popular young adult fiction author and Indiana native John Green will serve as the honorary pace car driver at the Verizon IndyCar Series Angie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis on Saturday, May 14th. Green will pilot a Torch Red 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe around the track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Green is best known for his sixth novel, the best-selling The Fault in Our Stars (not to be confused with Mary Barra's work of non-fiction which documented the GM ignition switch recall, The Fault in Our Cars). The novel debuted at No. 1 on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2012, and the film adaptation opened at No. 1 at the box office two years later.
Automotive Authors: Check out the best books for car enthusiasts
"This is such an honor to be chosen to drive the pace car at one of the most iconic race tracks in the world – which just happens to be in my backyard," Green said. "I'm looking forward to driving on the same track as so many of the greatest drivers in the world."
Though he won't have a chance to experience its full potential, Green's red Corvette will be equipped with the Z51 Performance Package, highlighted by a 455-horsepower LT1 V8 engine. No performance modifications were made to transform the Stingray into a pace car, the only changes made being the additions of a light bar and fire extinguisher.

"John is a huge IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway fan and we have been looking for the right opportunity to get him involved in one of the events," said Indianapolis Motor Speedway President J. Douglas Boles. "Having him drive the Chevrolet pace car for the Angie's list Grand Prix of Indianapolis is a great way for him to be part of this historic month."
Patrick Grieve was born in Southwestern Ohio and has lived there all of his life, with the exception of a few years spent getting a Creative Writing degree in Southeastern Ohio. He loves to take road trips, sometimes to places as distant as Northeastern or even Northwestern Ohio. Patrick also enjoys old movies, shopping at thrift stores, going to ballgames, writing about those things, and watching Law & Order reruns. He just watches the original series, though, none of the spin-offs. And also only the ones they made before Jerry Orbach died. Season five was really the peak, in his opinion.

Throughout the years, our artisans in Haiti have worked diligently to support their families,and now they are able to put their children in a safe and loving environment. Our artisans can hold their heads up high knowing that they have the ability to thrive in a way that will change the course of their children's lives! Being able to look ahead and see hope for a child's future is something every parent should be able to know; and because of the power of sustainable business, our artisans are experiencing just this!
This preschool is giving a quality education to the artisans' babies who have aged out of the on-site daycare where they work. Rather than leaving their children at home, our artisans have an alternative option of bringing their babies somewhere to learn and grow! Not only is this incredible, but the teachers investing in these kids now have a place to earn a sustainable income.
These little faces you see are the lives that are being positively impacted and they are the key to changing the generations to come.
Our artisans are strong, talented and living empowered lives. This school is just one ripple effect of the change that is being created, and we can't wait for all of the world-changing that is to come!

A Johnston County company agreed to forfeit more than $2.3 million and pay a $150,000 fine to settle a federal case that accused the company of running an illegal gambling operation.
As part of the plea deal, prosecutors agreed to dismiss gambling and conspiracy charges against the owners of the company, David Ricky Godwin Sr. and his son, David Ricky Godwin Jr.
The Godwins and their company, Regional Amusements Inc., were indicted in the summer of 2015 for an alleged gambling scheme involving video sweepstakes machines at convenience stores, restaurants and bars across Eastern North Carolina. The lengthy indictment came a little more than a year after state and federal agents raided Godwin Music on N.C. 39 north of Selma.
Regional Amusements, also known as RGB Inc., pleaded guilty to a charge of conducting an illegal gambling business Thursday. In addition to the monetary penalties, Chief U.S. District Court Judge James C. Dever III sentenced the company to 4 years of probation.
The Godwins have been the target of federal investigators before. In 2003, both men pleaded guilty in federal court to operating illegal gambling businesses in Eastern North Carolina and to structuring financial transactions to evade currency-reporting requirements of the Internal Revenue Service, according to records from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Ricky Godwin Sr. was ordered to pay $5 million and to forfeit to the federal government 326 video gaming machines. His son, identified as one of the largest operators of illegal video poker machines in North Carolina at the time, received a maximum prison sentence of five years and a $250,000 fine. Also, he was ordered to pay $200,000.

Entry Doors will add security & efficiency. A popular door choice among consumers today are fiberglass doors. This type of door can be stained or painted from the factory.
Patio Doors When it comes to buying a patio door, there's much more to the decision than choosing between a sliding glass door or a hinged patio door. Buying a new, custom patio door offers the opportunity to address a variety of functionality and aesthetic issues that improve a family's use and enjoyment from their patio door, such as energy efficiency, ease of use, configuration, size, materials and finish.
Interior Doors You open & close your doors every day, how nice would it be to have solid closing door that shuts firm & secure? Some options to consider are to replace everything (frame, door panel, hardware & molding) or just update the doors only with new hardware. We can install new door panels with new hardware while retaining the original door frame and molding. It's quick, easy and no wall painting necessary. The door panels are matched to your existing opening for a perfect fit. Many colors and styles are available. If you prefer everything to be replaced then a prehung door is what you need. Complete with a new frame, hardware & molding. Just decide which style and color works best for you. Its that easy. You won't believe what a difference new doors will make.

So, on this day people of Ayodhya light deepaks and fire crckers just to celebrate the return of Lord Rama.
>> In this walk, you will be taken to visit a local family so that you connect with them and celebrate this magnificent festival of Lights.
>> Later you will be given company and will make sure you enjoy at your fullest.
>> Later enjoy the fireworks and lightening around you and then you will be taken to visit the old city where you will see every street, roads and walking area covered with colorful lights and flowers.
>> Enjoy the rich and colorful walk inside the Pink City. Later you will also be taken to Nahargarh View Point to take a magnificent view of the Jaipur City covered with lights and enjoy the fireworks from there.
>> You will feel like heaven has come to the Earth.

I am passionate about listening to progress in businesses. As a business person myself I understand the ups and downs of growing a business and keeping your customers satisfied.
No matter how good your service or product is, you can never meet up to all your customer needs and expectation every single time.
I worked for a world class customer service company, we ranked among the top ten companies in the world for five years consecutively. We also won multiple awards in the process. During the time I spent working as a customer service personnel, we had to satisfy our diverse customers to maintain our high standard, even those that were apparently angry that things were going too smoothly for their liking, ever heard of sadists or attention seekers? at some point in your business you will have to manage them too. How about the perfectionist who knows it all and even takes to lecturing you, or the woman who is experiencing PMS(laughs) I am a woman, I know how we can be during this time.
It doesn't matter how well trained your staffs are or how good the product you are offering is, if you have to attend to customers, you will meet the dreaded angry person at some point.However it's not all bad news, if you learn how to manage your irate clients, you will win their loyalty, and a lifetime of referrals through them.
I have outline 10 secrets you can practice to help you manage hard to please customers and ensure your business benefits from them
Get more personal: Most of us will listen to a friend much more than we would a stranger, so the first thing you should do when handling an irate person is to introduce yourself to her if you haven't done this initially. Use your first name only unless sh asks you for your other names. Your goal is to break the ice between you both.
Listen to them: when a customer displays emotions like anger, you must give her your whole attention. She will be watching you for the slightest reason to justify her anger so you must try to be genuinely attentive, because if she notices that you are not listening you will aggravate her.
Empathize with them: Put yourself in their shoes. You may not react the way they choose to react on the issue but genuinely feel for them. You will likely win her cooperation if she feels you are in this with her.
Please don't smile: I have seen customers being aggravated even by a genuine smile. She kept asking my colleague if the situation she was facing was not important to her. When a customer is very upset, your smile can make her feel worse, please forget all the training you have acquired, customers are different and should be managed differently, smile with an easy going customer and she will be pleased, but smile with and upset customer and she will want to have your head on a plate.
Ignore insults: I have met all kinds of people some of whom insulted me even while I tried my best to please them and offer great service, my reaction? I ignored the insult. When I meet people who want to put me down by teaching me my job, I genuinely thank them for taking the time and effort. This is also when a smile can be precious to go with the gratitude. This has won me, several friends.
If it's your fault don't admit it if there is no one else the client can speak to: Why? because some people are unforgiving, and they may not trust you to solve their problem any further because you have already made a mistake once. Rather act sorry, remember she will be watching your body language, so let your facial expression show that you feel bad for what happened, but please don't say "It's my fault" if your supervisor or manager is not available to handle the issue from that point.
Take action: When a customer lays a complaint, do something about it. If you were sitting, please stand, move, act, let the customer see that you are trying to help.
Keep her updated: keep informing her of the progress you are making towards resolving her issue at least every ten to fifteen minutes.
Offer to change the product at no cost to her: If you have investigated and discovered that the fault is yours, you can offer to change the product for free, or an extra service at no cost to her. You can then apologize to her for all the inconveniences and any other distress she has had to go through in the process.
Call her later: Yes the issue has been resolved and the customer may be satisfied with your service, but don't leave it at that. Call her to check she is satisfied with the product.
I can guarantee that nine out of ten irate customers who you applied these methods with will never forget you and your business. You will win their loyalty.

Publisher: Clamp, Pioneer
Genre: Comedy, Soap (Drama, Romance)
Length: 25 min. per episode
Parental Advisory: Suggestive scenes and language
Chobits is the story of a shy and bit ignorant country ronin, Motosuwa Hideki, who goes to Tokyo to attend a college prep school.
There he encounters many androids, which mostly look like cute humans except their ears, known as Persocons.
Walking personal computers, which preforms computer tasks to many other mundane tasks.
They come in all sizes and shapes and are incredibly expensive and usefull.
Hideki, whom talks to himself out loud a lot, since his only friends were the farm animals, wants all these kinds of luxuries. E-mail and most importantly surf every erotic site on the internet! :B
One night, as he is walking home, he finds an abandoned one lying in a trash pile and decides to take her home.
He names her Chii, cause it appears that is the only word she could say, which is also kinda cute.
She doesn't appear to have any data or OS and since he is poor, he slowly begins to teach her things.
Apparantly the Persocon he found might be special and may actually be one of the legendary Chobits.
A custom made persocon that is able to feel and has a free will, while appearing not having any data.
To be human, but also not really a human, while having a free will is just a dream or is it?
General Outlook:
Chobits' primary theme is love and relationships.
More also about human/computer (or different than humans) relations.
It is more insightfull than the standard: can bots feel?
It's also how one should be and about their prejudices.
The series starts off as a comedy and seems to be quite perverted and provoking.
With many raunchy, humourous, emberassing and emotional moments and much cuteness.
It seems to become a "harem" when several ladies are introduced whom are seemingly interested in Hideki or whom
he thinks he is attracted to and forms relations.
Which makes way for hilarious moments with shy, clumsy, daydreamy and ignorent Hideki.
As the story expands it gets a more serious feel and a bit different humor.
But when it does get serious for a while, you can expect some funny and or cute moments, mostly with Sumomo! (b^_^)b
And while Hideki's relations evolve, the ones around him evolves too.
Which is quite nice, cause they have an interesting story and personality that is nicely interwoven with his problems and views.
Slowly the underlying plot is revealed bit by bit, which accelerates and concludes in the latter parts.
It's CLAMP, liked and loathed. (Like many things :B)
Colourings, if you've only seen the black and white manga first, one might not concur with some choice of colours on the characters and etc.
Still it's done quite nicely, to me.
The animation is quite gorgeous and kawaii.
Quite nice amount of bishounen and funny cliché expressions.
Nice traditionalism and drawn a bit more softer and simpler.
And the nicely detailed backgrounds which gives in overall a fittingly more real feel.
Sound and Music:
The opening song "Let Me Be With You" is quite catchy, when you're also in a hyper happy mood that is.
Which is cute, but might get annoying if your in a certain mood or have been watching to many times, no? :B
Which ofcourse goes for many things.
And with the osts many Chii's chii-ing and small talks
Since many soundtracks are used for the same kinds of situations and it is "only" 26 episodes, there aren't a lot of music. (30 some)
So throughtout you will hear many familiar ones again, which kinda emphasizes the general feel of the series.
Each track is really made to fit with the situation, the feel, the emotion.
Sadness, mystery, fear, emberassment, happiness, cheeriness, you name it
Piano, techno-ish, big brashiness, countryness, jazzyness, just about all kinds.
A small collection with a mix of everything, which clasps almost every feel/emotion.
All in all very good and fittingly. Good to have with or without the anime. (Chii!)
Standard cliché characters, mystery foes, many helpfull people, clumsy guy and a very cuteness girlbot.
Much development and past has still been showed/revealed, despite "only" 26 episodes.

And more about the others ditto, whether it be pics request or using them.
Recommendable for CLAMP or shoujo fans in general.
An appealing storyline and lovable cute characters.
The story is all about clichés and re-doing them a bit mockingly.
Ofcourse these days just about everything has been done.
And still they gave a nice transition in the story which also comes at you with a bang!
It might have been short or a sudden fast conclusion, but how long can one stretch things and or what more
could Chii learn which will also have these kinds of humorous situations?
It was something positive and a bit more mind opening for things, thoughtprovokings :B
Like questioning you're view about some things or what one already knows, but never gave it much
thought or action.
And since some just crave grades:
And I hardly give 9 or 10 lately :p
Story: 7/10
Characters: 8/10
Animation: 8/10
Sound & Music: 7/10
So try grab a few and watch it, maybe you'll like it
Personal thoughts and Spoilers:
Boy meets android girl has been done to death, despite that it was entertaining and mucho cuteness.
Can an artificial lifeform have feelings/emotions?
But what else can one wonder about artificial life forms?
What else would artificial life forms explore? All other data they can easily pile up.
And ofcourse questions about love and relationships, what is love, what can you love?
There was also a few episodes where they went online to play in a virtual world Brave Quest.
(á la Everquest. Serial Experiments Lain or .hack// anyone?)
Mostly Hideki searching for Chii, since she's somewhat a supercomputer,
she would be an acting server and can jump to every place?
There are alse wing like scenes or portraying Chii with them.
You might find it, oh no not wings again.
But you could also see, the grace, cuteness, angelicness, something a bit out of reach, earthly and heavenly, something a bit above but still not.
Hideki seems a lot more clumsy and @_@x oro in the anime, but funny
(Might be irritating for some, don't watch it soo much :p)
Sumomo and co looked really kawaii on the beach with their suits :B
Funny stuff, heartwarming and a stunning ending.
Doesn't those ears make them look like cat person or other animals? :B
Hmmm persocons, I would really like a small Kotoko(gotto love it's bitchyness)/Sumomo or the dog pet one in the police station.
On a side note;
There seems to be a lot of reviews, where people only saw like one or a few beginning episodes.
Which gives a rather narrow and wrong view.
And like, not every friendly girl/woman is a person that hits on you.
And Chii might be something constructed, but that's what the story about.
Is loving something else then a human ok, possible or acceptable?

We all know it's been ten years since "Mean Girls" burst onto the screen. We've been inundated with tributes in print (New York Times) and online (The Coveteur). And although I appreciate the comparisons to the conniving politicos and fashionable cliques (brilliant, by the way), I think we've ignored one of the most prevalent cliques who really rule the school — the mean girl mommies.
I'll admit, I was late to the game. After spending 20 years working in the brutal media trenches, watching out for knife-wielding editors and buyers-are-liars celebrity publicists, I was ill-prepared for what I encountered on the first day of preschool. For it was there, a few steps from the carpool line, that I saw a row of empty booster seats. They were all labeled — princess pink with crowns for the girls, blue pirate stickers for the boys. "Am I supposed to leave her carseat?" I asked a fellow mom. "Oh no," she replied. "Those are for the kids with playdates after school."
And so it began. The race to find someone who would invite my child into their home and prove to those around that she belonged with the right girls. I was new to this southern school, and I worked all day at a magazine that also happened to keep me out many nights as well. But I could control anything, I thought. I just convinced Ivanka Trump to spend her off-duty weekend in Palm Beach in front of our camera. And, she agreed to fly in to host our magazine's first anniversary party. Did I not just get Usher's mother to give the go-ahead on a last minute cover shoot with her very in-demand son? Get in with the cool moms? No sweat.
And that's when I met the Reginas, Gretchens and Karens of the pre-K playground. I've heard that Jennifer Aniston might take the lead of a movie called "Mean Moms", and I'm curious to see how the writers portray these ladies I can now spot from miles away. In the meantime, a few suggestions for the script:
On Wednesdays, we do Chick-Fil-A.
This is their lunchroom, toting their brood straight from carpool line to the wait-staffed home of the nugget. They're sitting in their booth, each child has a friend carefully selected for the playdate, and they're secretly noting which mom hasn't showered since drop-off.
We only wear espadrilles one day a week, so I guess you chose today.
The mommy status symbols are endless — from the Goyard totes to the Repetto flats — so missteps do not go unnoticed. For the ultimate in fashionable insecurity, devise a scene at the private school's annual auction. Local boutiques keep a running tab on who's wearing what to appease the queen bee, and your hero could emerge wearing an exclusive, straight off-the-runway frock to the cocktail affair.
Ex-nannies are off-limits to friends. That's just, like, the rules of feminism.
I'll never forget the "Nanny-gate of 2010". An especially entitled mom felt that she could do better, and stole "Regina's" nanny, causing ripples throughout the neighborhood. Which leads to another rule — always be nice to the nanny. One of the moms threw their son's birthday party on a Friday afternoon, so working moms couldn't attend, and it was assumed that my nanny would just take care of all the kids while the others gossiped and sipped their Chardonnay. So when said mom needed last minute childcare for a Napa weekend away with the husband, not one of the nannies happened to be available. Poor thing had to keep sipping in the backyard and missed the vineyard. Bless her heart, as we southern moms say.
Is white wine a carb?
It's whine o'clock somewhere, and you know the mommy juice craze has struck a nerve when The Today Show is portraying an innocent playdate — one glass of wine and they walked home — into an afternoon of drunken revelry. (http://mariashriver.com/blog/2014/04/maria-shriver-reports-on-mommy-juice-moms-drinking-to-relieve-stress/) So give us a break….and a sloppy Gretchen moment. That's gotta happen.
Stop trying to make kale chips happen. It's not going to happen.
"Mommy, everyone at school has heat-up lunches, and I have sunflower butter." Apparently, there are children who not only eat their dinner, but heat it up and eat more vegetables the next day. If I can get my child to eat anything that's not a sweet, it's like Christmas.
That's why her diaper bag is so big. It's full of secrets.
A nooner with the tennis pro? A husband with a porn addiction? Prime material here.
Made out with an organic soy dog? That's was one time!
And it was probably when she was doing her mandatory rotation in the snack tent at her son's Little League game.
How many of you have ever felt personally victimized by the judgmental b***h who weighs the frozen yogurt?
Or the mom who never eats the Pinkberry, just sits with the kids while checking in on Facebook.
Oh my God, you can't just ask someone why they're wearing white pumps.
As one of my recent favorites said to me at a parent coffee — "Oh, I love your watch. I have the same one…just twice as big."
So you agree? You think you're really pretty.
I can actually see her 4 year-old daughter saying this to her friend, while wearing mommy's jewels. Because, unfortunately, they're just spawning the next generation and little girls repeat everything their mommies say. "My mommy says your mommy has man shoulders, and halters are not her friend."
And this is where it has to end. Because if the mean girl mommies don't stop, we'll have another bullying campaign to create. But there is hope. When one of my friends was lamenting a mean girl mommy problem, another one of my supermoms realized that same mean girl was begging her to help her with a project. Not anymore! That's the thing about us moms. We like to talk, especially over a glass of wine. As my friend replied, "Don't mess with the kind girls' posse — we have power and we're not afraid to use it."
After a decade in the New York editorial world with magazines such as Vanity Fair, Details and Harper's Bazaar, Elizabeth Schulte Roth moved to Atlanta to marry her southern gentleman. She directed the public relations for the Tony Award-winning Alliance Theatre for a few years before returning to the glossies as Atlanta editor of PaperCity Magazine. She eventually launched the city's most popular luxury magazine, Atlanta Peach, as its editor-in-chief. She continues to write for numerous publications both in print and online.

Newcomers or current fans of our top rated brand should be using our Green Smoke coupon to make their next purchase. If you are in the market for a Green Smoke starter kit then there is no reason not to take advantage of coupon code to save 15% on your purchase of a new kit. That's a better deal than you'll get anywhere as Green Smoke has really become a lot more careful with their discounts and sales. So even while sales are becoming fewer and farther between, right now you can save 15% off of that Green Smoke starter kit you've been eyeing.
Don't trust some coupon code you get from a coupon site. Most of those are totally fake. Our Green Smoke coupon code is authentic. Yes, we do rave a lot about Green Smoke here at Expert Vaping but it is not just us. This is an ecig brand that has sold 40 million electronic cigarette products. So yes, we recommend Green Smoke, but as the numbers clearly show the market and consumers are in 100% agreement with our assessment.
Use Green Smoke coupon Expert Vaping15 to save 15%
off the best starter kits in the business.
Use Green Smoke coupon code Expert Vaping5 to save 5% on
purchases of cartridges and accessories.
You may have already heard about Green Smoke and that's why you are here, but in any case you should know about their history of quality. Green Smoke was started by a husband and wife team back in 2008 and they put a priority on the vaping experience. This was back when many ecig brands were only getting into the market to take advantage of what they viewed as a fad. But the creators of Green Smoke were in it for the long haul from the beginning and thus a user-focused electronic cigarette company was born.
To make it even easier for customers to try their product, the company wisely introduced a 30-day money back guarantee from the get go. Allowing smokers to try a Green Smoke starter kit and then send it back for a full refund if they didn't like it was a brilliant move for the new brand back then. It made it really easy for people to say yes to vaping when it was far from a well-known concept. Thankfully that same guarantee is in place today, so those who have thought about trying Green Smoke don't have anything to lose.
Green Smoke Reviews Reinforce Their Ranking
Since they first opened shop, Green Smoke has made great strides to keep themselves at or near the top of the industry in terms of quality. Although not one ecig is made for everyone, Green Smoke has done enough to stay atop our editor's rankings as the #1 brand we recommend. This is especially the case among cigalike type electronic cigarettes, where they simply reigns supreme. They continuously rack up some of the best feedback we get, all of which you can read in the Green Smoke reviews section.
Among the things consumers love the most about their products is the strength of their flavors, as well as that of their batteries. Green Smoke tried early on to stake out a real difference from their competitors and, after much experimentation through research and development, they succeeded in doing so.
That pinnacle moment came when they released their FlavorMax line of cartomizers. Now their flavors packed an even greater punch and lasted longer. Since then some other brands have done a good job of trying to keep pace, but nobody in the cigalike market has ever been able to fully match them.
At the same time, Green Smoke reviews indicated that customers were very happy with they quality of their batteries. This wasn't a small feat back then, as cigalike batteries often failed or didn't last near long enough. Again their commitment to higher quality paid off and resulted in long lasting batteries. They obviously aren't in the same conversation as mod batteries, but for a 2-piece cigalike you get plenty of juice from Green Smoke batteries. Along with that you'll get customer service that people rave about, which is hugely important as well.
Use A Green Smoke Coupon When Purchasing
We're thrilled to be able to offer our readers that special 15% off Green Smoke coupon valid for saving on a starter kit. We've always kept our focus on the best interests of the vaping community, wherever that may lead.
Along with so many different options that have sprung up and grown rapidly over the years, consumers keep coming back to this brand, especially those new to vaping. Of course we make sure we check things ourselves first, and the Green Smoke reviews are reinforced by our testing.
What a Green Smoke starter kit can do for smokers is truly special to see. There have just been so many ex-smokers who have made the switch to cigalike type electronic cigarettes and specifically this brand. It was one of the first to bring us hope of a wide-ranging solution to the needs of so many smokers and it continued to be supremely effective for that purpose.
Now some will have moved on to ecig tanks or mods for even higher performance, but it doesn't put any damper on the role of 2-piece cigalikes for the market. They play an integral role in introducing so many to vaping, and this is the premier brand that does just that. Even people who use advanced ecigs often want a cigalike for back-up, travel and conveninece. In that case, our Green Smoke coupon is the perfect option to save money an the best cigalikes you can get.
We don't want to sound like a broken record, but sometimes you have to give people credit for doing what they do. All of the ecig brands in our editor's ecig rankings are great and each can serve you well for what you need, and Green Smoke does that too. It would make an excellent buy for yourself or for a loved one who is looking to make the switch. Along with that 30-day money back guarantee, it makes it really easy to dive in. Use our Green Smoke coupon code to save an additional 15% off a kit and see if this well-known brand fits the bill. Make sure to come back and tell us either way in our Green Smoke reviews section. We would be happy to hear about your success and any improvements you think can still be made. Whatever you choose to do, always have that goal of yours in mind and see how vaping can help you get there.
Happy Vaping!

Dr Faruqi to the Minister for Ageing, Minister for Disability Services, and Minister for the Illawarra representing the Minister for the Environment, and Minister for Heritage—
Given the planned adoption of new standards on wood smoke heaters and the large public health costs of currently legal PM 2.5 heaters, why is the Government waiting five years to mandate a PM1.5 limit?
I am advised as follows:
The New South Wales Environment Protection Authority has been working with other jurisdictions and with industry to develop new tighter standards for wood heaters.
The draft standards propose a reduction in the emission limit to 1.5 grams of particles per kilogram of wood burnt. The draft standards do not propose a PM 1.5 limit.
Members of the Standards Australia Technical Committee CS-062 (the Committee) agreed that the timeframe of five years was appropriate to develop and commence manufacturing of new cleaner and more efficient wood heater models. The Committee is comprised of members from Commonwealth, State, and New Zealand government agencies, technical and academic experts and organisations, consumer groups and Australian and New Zealand industry groups.

It's everyone's dream to own a brand new car. However exhilarating this experience may feel, it may also be overwhelming for your pockets—not just because of the overall cost of the car, but insuring it as well. What does it take to insure a brand new car, and how do you go about it? Are there any means of driving the cost down if I have a certain budget?
Here are your questions answered with some helpful tips on the side.
First ask the question of what type of car would be best to purchase. Are you single, do you have a family? How often do you drive your car? Do you need to drive it long distances?
Consider how much your brand new car will cost and how much it will also cost to insure. Make some calls. It wouldn't hurt to ask questions this early. Also remember that the following criteria are used by the insurance company to determine your premium. First is the repair cost. If the model and make of your car is the expensive type, then expect that it would need specialized mechanic; ergo, more expensive repair services. Second is the possibility and incidence of theft. Some cars are more prone to theft than others, and insurance companies are aware of the fact. Make sure your car is equipped with the right safety feature for this purpose. Third would be vehicle features such as safety and luxury features. The former will help pull costs down while the latter will cause to drive it up. Lastly, the vehicle type and specification- is your car a minivan, an SUV, a sedan, a sports car? Cars that are bigger may cause more damage than smaller cars; in the same way, normal sedans will cost less to insure than sports cars.
Know the car you're buying. Safety features of a brand new car count for discounts from the insurance company. If you are worried about not knowing about car lingo, do not worry. You can approach your car dealer and ask them for a list of the safety features your car has. That way, you'll be able to provide the insurance company with comprehensive information that would help them make a better quotation for you.
It's good to talk to your insurance agent. I know how convenient it can get to surf the internet at home and choose from a variety of quotations available to you at the click of a finger. However, talking to your agent face-to-face would be a more effective approach, as you will be able to clarify questions you may have, and ask for recommendations regarding insuring your new vehicle. At the end of the conversation, you'll feel more confident knowing what options you have, and make sounder decisions as well.
If you can afford it, then opt to pay up front. It's really much cheaper if you consider paying the full amount at one time. However, it is also true that your budget may be a hindrance to this, so the decision is really up to you. Compare how much the installment is going to cost you when you sum it up together, versus the one-time payment. Then go from there based on your needs, and your budget too.
It's a known fact. You may have more than one car in your garage, and it's always a joy to see that shiny red one compared to your battered old vehicle. However, you just can't let go of the reliable ol' car for sentimental reasons. So, your best option is to reduce your policy for that vehicle and amp up the policy for this brand new vehicle you just purchased. After all, let's face it- that car really isn't worth all the money for a comprehensive and collision policy.
Rely on trusted names. I don't know about you, but it's always good to purchase policies from reliable companies. Their reputation has track records to back them up, and for sure, satisfied customers can also attest the level of customer service they have received from the said company. Don't get me wrong- I'm not saying that small companies don't pose any competition. But oftentimes, the companies with the bigger names really do get the biggest share – all because of years of experience, and reliability in the business.

Using other libraries
If you live a long distance away from the University and it's inconvenient for you to use our libraries, you may be able to borrow or use books and journals at another university's library closer to home.
The SCONUL Access scheme allows students to register for membership of other university libraries and, in some cases, borrow from them. You may be able to borrow books and other resources if you come under one of the following categories
- Part-time
- Distance learner
- Postgraduate taught
- Postgraduate research
If you are a full-time undergraduate, you will not be able to borrow from other universities but you will still be allowed into their library buildings to study.
For more information and to apply online see SCONUL Access scheme. Please make sure you have paid any library fines before making an application.
The scheme does not allow you to access other universities' computers or electronic resources. However, if you take your laptop or tablet, you are likely to be able to connect to WiFi through the Eduroam wireless network.

Can someone tell me how to receive free view? We have the smart hub working so can use web based streaming like netflix, you tube etc but with the satellite ariel plugged in the 'broadcasting' set up is still not available. How can I tune the channels? We don't subscribe to sky but presumably the satellite ariel will work?

We don't subscribe to sky but presumably the satellite ariel will work?
Not necessarily. The Dish could be misaligned and/or the LNB could be dead. You may have the wrong LNB setting in the setup menu.
Also make sure the TV is definitely has a Sat Tuner (that model should be Sat capable) and the dish cable is plugged in the Sat socket and not the UHF socket.
Your Profile indicates you are in Auckland so why are you not using UHF so you get HD picture?
Sat is only poor quality SD.
More info is needed in order to help.

The most important feature of Windspot is that it is an efficient, durable, reliable, high-performance turbine that comes in three models with powers of 1.5kW, 3.5kW and 7.5kW to adapt to every user need.Our small wind turbines have many applications for households or light industry, ranging from self-sufficiency, grid connection, water pumping, telecommunications aerials, etc.Built with quality materials and under strict production control, Windspot small wind turbines are characterized by the patented variable pitch system, which can limit rotor speed in a smooth, proportional way to ensure a constant rotation speed in high winds (over the rated speed of the electrical generator). Therefore, the wind turbine also constantly delivers the electrical power for which it was designed.The Windspot variable pitch system, unlike other wind turbines, is robust, effective and requires minimal maintenance. It is also silent, due to the painstaking aerodynamic design of its blades and the fact that it operates at low rpm.

Taking this 15-minute test could help you boost productivity by 20%
Tuesday 16 May 2017
Douglas Grierson, Vodafone's Head of London, Regional Business, explains why SMEs are missing out on productivity-enhancing ICT – and suggests a simple self-assessment tool managers can use to help unlock growth.
We all want to get more out of the resources we've got. If you're keen to boost business productivity, but you're unsure where to start, you're not alone. Adopting the right information communications technology (ICT), when combined with improved managerial practices, can lift productivity by as much as 20%, according to a report by the London School of Economics (LSE). But many SMEs miss the opportunity to capitalise on digital communications. Here's why.
Three-quarters of managers – especially in SMEs – are not aware of the ICT tools that promote productivity, according to the LSE study. Even when managers do know about their digital options, more than two-thirds aren't sure whom to turn to for assistance, the LSE found. Most managers believe they need to recruit expensive consultants or hire an IT manager, but smaller firms may not be able to afford additional staff. As a result, these SMEs are missing out on the productivity-enhancing potential of ICT.
At Vodafone UK, we are working to make ICT adoption easier for UK companies. Whilst we recognise that each business is unique and has different needs, we believe the task of assessing performance and identifying areas to improve should be as simple as possible. So we created the Vodafone Ready Business Indicator , an easy-to-use online diagnostic that helps you evaluate how well your business is performing across four pillars: connecting with customers, connecting with your staff, operating your business and planning for the future.
Based on your answers, we'll send you a personalised report that includes your Ready Business score and benchmarks your business against other companies in your sector. It also recommends a range of digital solutions and services tailored to your responses.
We recently commissioned the LSE to examine UK productivity and identify steps that firms and public sector organisations can take to unlock growth. What the LSE found, published in their report "The Power of Productivity ", is reassuring: wherever your company is located, the three keys to improving productivity are within reach. To hear more about these keys, and the steps you can take to boost productivity at your business, join me at UC Expo. I look forward to a productive discussion!
