Real estate business is arguably the most lucrative industry in most economies around the globe. In this regard, various professionals are in the business of facilitating property transfer. A buyer or seller must thereby be mindful enough to seek the services of a professional that is skilled and knowledgeable enough to secure the best deal possible. In a lucrative industry like the real estate sector, it is probable that there will be conniving individuals that are out to rip-off the unsuspecting public. Therefore you must be cautious in selecting an agent and ensure that the one procured is keen on advancing and protecting your interests.
A buyer's agent is responsible for the identification of an ideal property based on the preference of his principal. Thereafter the buyer's agent can schedule showings that are meant to help the buyer settle on a perfect home. Also, the agent is charged with the crucial roles of negotiating and securing the best price on behalf of his agent. The seller's roles are somewhat entwined with those of a listing agent. This is because most of the time a seller undertakes the responsibilities of a listing agent and vice versa. Therefore it is crucial to understand the role of a listing agent in order to secure a flat fee mls as well as the best services in the market. These roles are enlisted as follows;
Editing a listing description
You must ensure that you procure a listing agent that will write an endearing description of your home so that searchers are prompted to make a purchase. A talented writer will draft informative listings that will highlight the best features of your property and subdue its inadequacies.
Pricing of property
It is every seller's desire to sell their property at the best market price, and in this regard, it is the responsibility of the listing agent to ensure that the property is valued correctly. A seller's agent has adequate knowledge of the market and thereby primed to communicate a price that is standard based on data and analysis.
Negotiating offers
Subsequent to the foregoing, it is the role of the listing agent to negotiate the prices with potential buyers. In practice, a seller's agent values his property and thereafter it is his responsibility to negotiate the buyer's offer based on the set value. The negotiating process is based on offers and counter offers, and a good listing agent will ensure that he employs his best skills to initiate the best price possible.
Hosting open houses
This is a crucial role of the listing agent. He is in charge of scheduling showings and answers the queries that are fronted by potential buyers. In this regard, your agent should be available whenever potential buyers schedule appointments.

Oral Presentation
The formation of a Keplerian disk around a late-stage protostar
Protostars surrounded by their infalling envelopes evolve into Classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs). In the course of the evolution from protostars to CTTSs, it is considered that infall motions decay while Keplerian rotation becomes more dominant. Protoplanetary disks, which are important as the cradle of planets, are considered to form as Kepler rotation becomes more dominant. The formation process of the protoplanetary disk is, however, still not understood well. In order to reveal how Keplerian disks form, we have observed a late-phase protostar TMC-1A (Class I, Tbol=118 K) with ALMA Cycle 0 in C18O (J=2–1), SO (J,N=6,5–5,4), and 1.3 mm continuum emission. The C18O integrated intensity map shows an elongated structure perpendicular to the direction of the associated outflow. A clear velocity gradient along the major axis of the elongated structure is observed, indicating rotation of the elongated structure having a rotation axis perpendicular to the elongation. Overall, the rotation law derived from the observations is consistent with Keplerian rotation as identified in previous works. The specific angular momentum 1.7×10^–3 pc km/s is larger than a typical value for Class 0 objects, suggesting that more angular momentum is transferred from the envelope into the disk in the later-protostar phase. On the other hand, a clear velocity gradient can be also seen along the minor axis of the elongated structure. Additionally, the peak positions in channel maps at middle and high (|ΔV| > 1 km/s) velocities delineate a S-shaped warp centered at the protostar position. These results suggest that there is still an infall motion in the late-phase protostar, as well as rotation. SO shows more compact emission than C18O, and its velocity structure coincides with that of C18O at high velocities (|ΔV|=2–3 km/s) while a rigid-like velocity law can be seen at low velocities.

We have a lot of trees on campus, a place can not go to see a few trees in the summer when we can tree in the shade, it felt really good. We have small schools open all year round, opening up the rotation. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, every season has a different flower, no matter what time to come to our school, we will see beautiful flowers you frequently moving his head. Our school not to mention the grass, super life, we have so many throughout the school day, students in the grass on the other foot to foot, but had never met the side down.
Our schools will let you feel the warmth in the winter. Each class has 40 to 50 students in each class of students are so united, encounter group activities, class action, and we all have to win glory for their classes. Students to go home after practice, is to win glory for their classes. Take the last Games in the tug-of-war now. We have several students selected to participate in the tug-of-war. Games started, our project will be the beginning of a tug-of-war, in addition to a number of our students can play under the auditorium, other students can not be down, which can be radical students is not working. We have them in the game at a time when the public gallery hop on the next jump a Xianghou Zi, and so we had to go back, they asked a tube up how we like.
We have more teachers is to make you feel warm. They treat people in harmony, we do not always temper. That students have a crash, the teachers will make every effort to help us, we know that they get to know the topic would be assured.
This is my campus, the warmth of a campus!

I know we will soon have true marriage equality.
There are many issues I'm passionate about.
The environment. Chronic disease. Ludicrous incarceration rates. Money in politics. Mass shootings. The future of public education. A culture of sexual violence.
All of these issues are tough, the road is long and the outcome uncertain. Many have been fought over since the founding of our nation.
Some seem like disgraceful problems we may face for generations to come, with the notable exception of the environment. Keep ignoring that, and we'll kill ourselves off before too long -- then we won't have to worry about any of the others.
If there are solutions to these issues, they are complicated. Painful.
But then there is one issue that's very different: marriage equality.
I know how this one is going to end up. The solution is simple -- let a consenting adult marry another consenting adult. The fight to get to this point has been painful, but that is starting to end. I hate to discount religious convictions, but there's no pain in this solution, only love.
Maybe that's why setbacks like Judge Crabb's stay on her injunction order sting so much.
Last week was beautiful, a chance to peek into that not-so-distant future and celebrate what we will soon take for granted. Whether it was friends, former co-workers, or random people I've never met who were featured in the media, it still drove me to tears to read their stories. They've waited so many years just to have a basic right.
It is maddening to think that right could be invalidated or deferred by a court order, this fight should be over. It is inevitable, the tide has turned. Appeals, request for stays -- all they do is delay.
Everyone in Wisconsin won a big victory, even it was snatched away for the time being. It's a little sad it takes the courts to undo our state's desecration of the 14th Amendment. But it was the celebrations that followed, when the Dane County Clerk's office had to turn volunteers away, and all the love shared across the state -- that was the victory we earned.
For any other issue I'm passionate about, that'd be enough. I'd be satisfied that we moved the ball forward and made some real progress.
This is different. I can see the end zone on this one. I know we will soon have true marriage equality -- secure, protected rights in Wisconsin and the rest of the nation. Hell, let's go for the entire planet.
When that day comes, the celebration is going to make last week look like a pre-party.
Until then, those who were married, those who wait to be married, and all of their allies must keep pushing for equality.

The Escape ArtistLarge Print - 2018
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
So sorry to see the poor reviews for this one. I listened to the audio and thought it was captivating. The main female character Nola Brown is reminiscent of Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, with razor sharp intellect, haunted past, and animal quickness. It will keep you guessing right up to the end.
Preposterous plot; pedantic prose... Marilyn Stasio (NYT Book Review) led me astray. Zero star here.
Disjointed , too much fantasy nor believable , it got way out of control , the author must have taken something that blurred his ability to write a decent plot.
MInd candy and I really enjoyed it. As with all of his books, fun to learn about something you may not have even thought much about. I did not mind the shifting of time frames - in fact, found that was an interesting way to reveal the story of Nola.
do not bother reading. very disappointing
The book has a slow start & I was not a fan of the constant shifting of the storyline between the past & present but overall I gave it 3 stars.
This book gives us a change in scenery, a military base, plane crash in Alaska. Change of characters a mortican and Army First Sgt go figure, sprinkle in a few magicians, and a few shady characters and you have an interesting book. The main characters Zig, and Nola are strong, spirited and you never know what they will do next. Nola life as a young child was not easy she was in foster care and then adopted by a single man. Her life was in chaos from the time she was eight years old. Hang on cause changes come at a fast pace.
Like the idea of Zig - a mortician at Dover Air Force Base that takes such great care and detail with the bodies of our fallen soldiers. Liked the idea of Nola - the Artist-in-Residence recording the aftermath of war thru art. The fact that her artistic eye helped her observe details that other didn't see was interesting. These two different kind of artists working together had potential but I didn't like this book as much as his Culper Ring series. Zig's reason for obsessively trying to help Nola is weak. Nola repeatedly double crossing and admitting that she doesn't like Zig adds to the disconnect between them. The Houdini aspect of the book which I thought would be interesting turned out to be disappointing and a little confusing to follow. Giving it 3 stars because I still think it has potential and am hoping if he continues with these characters they will develop a closer bond that will improve the storyline.
What do magicians, morticians, artists, foster children, suicide survivors, Alaska, Delaware, and the Librarian of Congress have in common? They are all integral to Brad Melzter's THE ESCAPE ARTIST. This is an amazingly creative story and great read. I especially like the way he has blended in the story of Dover AFB and the great tradition and respect shown by those who work there for our fallen soldiers. Highly recommend it.

Atom is a feature-rich training aid that provides home enthusiasts and professionals alike the chance to move at 100mph in their own living room. 'Atom' is crafted as a response to a deeper understanding of athletes, their pressures, requirements and aspirations.
The design story
Setting the scene: We believe disruptive design can only come from a deeper understanding of our brands, their market and, most importantly, users. We take time to create research programmes that explore the real-world pressures and aspirations of users, giving us a solid building block to design up from and enables us to create truly disruptive products.
With the help of world class athletes, brands and enthusiasts, we were able to provide a clear development road-map that would outline category-defining product that would continue to engage users.
Crafting an outcome - We pride ourselves in our ability to craft design from the eyes of the user, often using hand techniques to explore form and function until we provide a design that embodies their needs, in this case giving users as much a statement of performance and speed as a tool that would enhance technique. Atom was designed from an ambition to bring the track indoors, making the world's most realistic and uncompromising ride available at home.
Engineering development - Curventa worked with in-house teams and world leading manufacturers every step of the way to ensure a world-class outcome was achieved, providing engineering solutions that could uphold the user expectations. We often work with in-house teams and manufacturers and proactively encourage new lines of thinking in order to provide disruptive products that resonate with users.

A Weekend in Oman
Last July I spent a weekend in Oman. This was a sort of last minute holiday that I agreed to go on with a friend of mine that likes to go scuba diving. It wasn't somewhere that I knew a lot about, nor was it somewhere I'd ever thought about visiting. Actually, when Craig suggested the holiday to me, I had to Google Oman to see where the place was. I'm sure you're much more clued up than me, and that you know exactly where it is. But, if you haven't been, I'm betting you probably don't know it like me. I want to tell you about my weekend in Oman; you never know, you might fancy popping over on your next holiday. I hope you do. I also apologise in advance, because neither myself nor Craig are much for cameras, so I don't have any photos. Hopefully I can paint you a vivid picture with my words.
Thursday Night –' The Kebab'
Thursday afternoon had been a sweaty, sleep-addled nightmare on the plane journey over from London Gatwick. So mine and Craig's first night was always going to be a slightly slower affair than the rest of the holiday. The first thing that struck me when we got off the plane was the heat. It's pretty extreme, but a lot more comfortable than the humid heat I experienced when I was in Mexico. We were starving – so we went to the first restaurant we found (which I've forgotten the name of, I'm sorry) and didn't even look at the menu at the door. It turned out to be a Turkish restaurant and I had the best kebab I've ever had. I wish I'd remembered the name of the place, because I'd love to go back. But we'd went there at the start, before I knew what we were doing, so I can't really remember how we found it. We went for a short walk around the incredibly picturesque city centre, before heading back to the hotel for the night.
Friday – Life Aquatic…
Scuba diving was the main reason why Craig wanted to go to Oman. He's been all over the world snorkelling and scuba diving, and he'd been to Qatar last year and had heard that Oman had some of the most beautiful dives out there. We spent the morning on a sort of training thing in a swimming pool and the whole afternoon was spent either on a boat, skirting about the little islands around the coast, or in the deep blue, marvelling at all the weird and wonderful things. I really enjoyed it, but I'd only sort of scuba dived once before, so I don't really have much to compare it to. Craig said it was brilliant, and that it was different to anywhere he'd dived. He didn't say it was the best place he'd dived, but I think he liked it a lot. You can read a bit of information about scuba diving in Oman on Surfacewatch.
Saturday – Aimless Wandering at its Finest…with a bit of culture
Craig had another day of diving set up for himself, but, being a beginner, I was left to explore Muscat and get a feel for the place. In the morning, I just lazed around the hotel as I was knackered from all the swimming the day before. Then, as hunger struck I ventured out to a restaurant called D'Arcy's Kitchen that the hotel concierge recommended to me. The food was lovely, but it'll never beat 'The Kebab' I had on Thursday. Then I visited the Omani Heritage Gallery, which was right beside the restaurant. I was running low of money, but luckily Travelex came to the rescue. They really are everywhere. You can have a look at the exchange rates for the Omani Riyal to see how the pound, dollar or euro is doing. Wallet filled, I pottered about the beautiful city and bought a few souvenirs before meeting up with Craig back at the hotel for 5. This was our last night, so we decided to take a big walk around Muscat and really get a feel for the place. We were starting to know our way around, and my wanderings earlier had made me the tour guide. We found another random Turkish place with an inferior kebab and we went back to the hotel. Our flight was early in the morning.
I loved my time in Oman, and it sticks in my mind as this strange little place unlike anywhere else I've ever been. If you like scuba diving, then it's definitely worth a visit. I suspect it might get a little boring if you were there for 2 weeks, but I definitely could have stayed a day or two longer and seen a bit more of it.

I grew up with the Season of summer being my favorite season of all. Being able to sit in the sun, play sports, and swim in the summer heat was always at the top of my list. At the age of 21, I found out my father was diagnosed with level 4 melanoma (skin cancer). This devastated me as a young adult and today at the age of 32, I still struggle with the loss of my dad. I struggle with knowing how he died, watching him fade away and the dangers that I've put myself at risk to.
I decided to limit my sun exposure to the best of my ability, while still being an "active outdoorsy girl", and start a spray tan company. I want everyone to experience a golden tan that looks natural, that doesn't come from UV rays and that is also convenient for them.
At Seattle Mobile Spray Tan we use organic formulas that are paraben free. Join me and fight back against tanning bed companies that are a leading cause to skin cancer in america. I wish everyone knew the dangers of sun exposure. I want to educate people and teach them how to get a tan without harmful UV rays. Let me give you a natural looking spray tan.

This gorgeous wedding, which took place on the Skansonia, a retired ferry boat on Seattle's Lake Union, was just overflowing with love. I first met Drew and Elise back in Berkeley for their engagement shoot, and I noticed immediately that they are an extremely loving, playful, gentle and heartful match. Their spring wedding day reflected them perfectly — elegant and simple at once, bright and glowy, and bursting with love.
Seattle is a notoriously fickle place for weather, especially in the early spring, and we were unsure about the forecast until hours before the ceremony. In the morning it was cold, windy, and raining. But as soon as I left to see the bride and groom for the first time, the entire city seemed to break through the storm clouds, and we had a perfectly sun-soaked afternoon and evening.
The Skansonia is a beautiful, old ship, loaded with memorabilia and gadgets from its former life. And the ferry itself points directly across Lake Union at the amazing Seattle skyline.

Backup Sump Pump Installation, Replacement & Maintenance For Northeast Indiana, Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan
Keep Water Were It Belongs – Out Of Your HomeIn our area, homeowners are used to having a sump pump in the basement. They play a critical role in keeping water out and the basement dry. It is important that you have your sump pump inspected on a regular basis to make sure it is working properly when heavy rains hit.
In many homes, particularly those with finished basements, there is what appears to be a second sump pump located near the washer and dryer. Many homeowners wonder what this second pump does.
In fact, this second pump is an ejector pump. Rather than collecting water from drain tile like a sump pump, the ejector pump's basin collects water from floor drains and when a home has a below grade bathroom.
An ejector pump that processes waste water will have a sealed lid and a vent pipe and is connected to a sanitary sewer line. You can identity an ejector pump by flushing the basement toilet or running water in a sink, either should trigger the pump.
Both sump and ejector pumps play an important role in keeping your basement dry. So, no if your home has one or two pumps in the basement, Gibson's Heating & Plumbing should be your go to professional for installation, maintenance and repairs.

text: Tragedy struck the newly minted city of Greypass during the first night of its grand opening festival. The city was constructed to be a testament to Breland's prosperity and the vision of her king, but no one could have foreseen what would happen just a few short hours after the gates were opened to the public. A force of trolls and giants swept through the town in the middle of the night raining fiery boulders and death upon those within the city's walls. Hundreds of lives were lost in this unspeakable atrocity, and we are thus far unaware of those responsible for this most heinous of deeds. Was this attack the fiendish plot of some troll chieftain eager to show his power to Breland and her people? Or was this simply the overture of a more odious opus, composed by a devil still lying in wait behind the curtain?

Learning the ABC's through D--Dramatics.
Pappas, Helen; And Others
Creative dramatics activities may offer opportunities for active application of skills necessary to the development of higher level thinking processes. Drama affords the participants the opportunity to concentrate attention upon individual elements in the real and imagined world. Within this framework, the student, while attentive to detail and sequence, increases powers of accurate observation, increases the ability to identify cause-and-effect relationships, and is actively involved in inferential thinking. Drama experiences integrated with vehicles designed to provide opportunities for the application of reading skills and the interpretation of written communication also offer individual extensions of the relevancy of that which is read. The creative action that can go on in classrooms is a process which requires the integrative curriculum planning of teachers and students. Ownership in the development of ideas, the analysis and synthesis of creative thought related to literature, the relevant interrelationship of human thought and individual talent in the expressive arts, and the creation of a creative dramatics performance model transform cognitive and affective taxonomies into active classroom activities.

One of the main arguments (section 2.1) is that this kind of analysis can be done with data that is becoming ever more available, thus allowing for transparency in the geographical allocation of public services. With the method suggested, citizens get a new tool with which to evaluate the efficiency of the public sector, in this case with respect to the travel distance/time to public services (first paper on Research page).

Ever since the late 1950s and early 1960s, American soldiers, sailors, marines, and air force members have come back to the States after being stationed in the Far East. Many of these exceptional military personnel were trained in the Martial Arts and obtained a Black Belt. These soldiers were some of the first to bring the Martial Arts back to the United States. Once back in the States, the question was: Now what? Where do I train now? How do I continue this Art that so few have mastered, especially here in the United States?
Many of these gifted military personnel just gave it up and never continued. However, some of them trained in private–a few found a stateside instructor and most of the time this instructor was not of the same style. Some of these Black Belts went on and started teaching in YMCAs, Boys' Clubs, high schools, colleges, local parks, and, yes, even in local bars at night after closing hours. After being discharged from the military many soldiers became police officers and taught their fellow officers. In the late 1950s and 1960s there were less than 100 studios in the United States, making it extremely difficult to train. No magazines, no television shows, no movies, and only a handful of self-defense books by Bruce Tegner.
Enter American Karate and American Kung-Fu.
This is almost an oxymoron, however, the truth is that because of the American ingenuity and the freedom of expression, over 75% of these Martial Artists started incorporating techniques from other styles and systems. This concept spread like wildfire. Although many claimed they were traditional to the style they were taught, this was not the truth.
Certain styles which did not have weapons had them incorporated. Styles without a back-fist or spinning techniques had them incorporated. Shotokan and Okinawan Karate became American Karate. Kenpo became American Kenpo. Shorin style Kung-Fun became American Kung-Fun. Yes, it took more than 40 years, but the fact-of-the-matter is that traditional Martial Arts are now American Martial Arts, and we are very proud of this.

Somebody told me she was always doing what her parents told her but kinda regret not going to parties and spending her half life with studying when she was a uni stident. She said now she thinks it doesn't matter if she does as her parents tell her or not cos she would have end where she is anyways only she would have more experience in life and more fun, more sweet memories.
I was thinking about for days now, i kinda feel like she has right but in the same time she doesn't. I have something in my life what i truly regret not doing, cos i did as my parents told me. My biggest regret is not staying in Korea when i could. I should just take the money what my parents sent me for my planeticket, rent a room and search for a job, any kind of job. They'd hate me for it i'm so sure, but i'd spare so many hardship in my life. I was very naive back than, i thought i will come home my family will be very happy and they realize during a whole year how much they missed me and how much they love me and how important i am for them and most of all i hoped they will treat me as an adult. I was totally wrong. When i can home the first thing they did was fighting over who to hug first, then they schold me for my piercings and said mean things that who knows where else i have piercings too (down there y'know) like a whore. It didn't take 2 weeks and everything went back as it used to be. I had to bring my sistre to the kindergarten in the morning, i had to clean the house, cook, wash dishes, wash the clothes, feed the animals etc etc just like Cinderella. Missing me for 1 year didn't make them realize how much help i was, i never got a "thank you" for my work. Meanwhile my medium sister who is the Nr1 fav in my family was playing on her computer and never helped me. My parents said she doesn't have to cos she was helping instead of me when i was absent. Great! She never helped me before, now she worked for a year instead of me (i wonder) and she doesn't have to do anything anymore in the rest of her life...
guess u see my problem.
I also got scold many times when i was on my phone/computer, they said i do nothing all day but surfing the net.
They blamed my non-existent korean boyfriend for not visiting me, cos they truly believed i have a secret bf. My dad even called him a jerk.
And these are just a few... i ended up with a mental breakdown, depression and finally hospitalized. You don't know how much i wanted to end my life. The only thing kept the hope in me was the idea of returning to Korea and live my own life.
Everybody's telling my i should move out but where?how? i have nowhere to go, if i rent a flat i have to prepay 2 months, i don't have the money for that. i can't go to work next to school - what my parents forced on me, useless shit. i have no bf to move into his place and i don't want to find somenody just for that...
I could spare all of this if i don't come home that time. I'd live a more happy life i'm sure. Even thought my friends would return but until we reunite i could make more korean friends, instead of gaining 12kg cos of emotional eating i could lose my baby fat, maybe i'd meet a nice guy too.
Maybe in the end that girl was right, all of this won't matter cos i will end up in Korea, but they do matter cos they hurt, they make me struggle. Maybe all the bed are for something good, so i will appreciate it when it comes, i can never know. But i know one thing, i will never ever do as i am told if i my heart whispers the opposite.

Death Wish Coffee Company is made up of a small but growing team. We want to take you inside our headquarters and introduce you to some of the team members that make it all come together.
In the two years that Caid Tuller has been with our company, he's quickly become the go-to person for all questions Death Wish related. While many know him as the friendly face they can always count on to get their problems solved, our team relies on him to keep us in touch with the community. Outside of being a Death Wish shots challenge winner, Caid is also a pretty mean rock, paper, scissors player around the office.
How long have you been working with Death Wish and what do you do here?
I started with DWCC on a warm September day in 2015 and I'm the Customer Service Trainer. Basically, I make the sure that the Customer Service team is on the same page with how we interact with the community.
What have you learned about the coffee industry yet?
I've learned how important coffee actually is. It's not just an AM beverage, it's life's blood!
What does a typical day look like for you? How much coffee do you drink?
I fill up my Klean Kanteen before I leave my house, and by the time I get to work I'm adamant about getting another cup brewing. While it brews, I set up shop at my desk and get ready to dive into email abyss. My day is broken up by answering direct email and messages, as well as handling Amazon reviews and interaction. Chat with the team a bit, smash a few ping pong balls, rinse and repeat.
What do you do for fun?
It's crick fishing season! Now that snow-free weather has arrived, you can find me usually walking along a muddy bank rippin' lip! (that's fishing for you city folk). I'm also pretty invested in my GTI MK6. GO FAST!
What's something that goes on at HQ that people would be surprised to learn?
I'm a rock, paper, scissors Jedi. Challenge me, put something good on the line and pay attention. Just ask Kane, he can't stand it!
<< Meet other Death Wish team members >>

David Cameron is apparently ready to back a campaign for England to have its own anthem for sports teams, and his personal choice would be Jerusalem, according to the British Future thinktank and the ConservativeHome website.
Since 2003 the England cricket team have routinely emerged from pavilions to Sir Hubert Parry's music set to William Blake's poem – except at Lord's, which does not play music through its sound system. English medal winners at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010 showed off their prizes proudly to Jerusalem after it replaced Land of Hope and Glory as the team's song – to the confusion of one competitor, the butterfly champion Fran Halsall, who started singing the old anthem on the podium before realising her mistake.
But the England rugby and football teams still stand chests puffed out to God Save the Queen. Last month the Lib Dem MP Greg Mulholland, who has regularly backed campaigns for England to have its own sporting anthem to rival Scotland's Flower of Scotland and Wales's Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (Land of My Fathers), proposed that Euro 2012 should be the last international football tournament at which England compete without an English anthem, even if God Save the Queen remains the official one for UK teams.
What would be your choice for an English national anthem?

Each round My opponent and I will post up to 3 sexy female rapists. No rounds wasted. Real life female rapists and cannonical characters may be used. No fan art or fanfics allowed. Winner goes to whoever has the sexiest female rapists.
Sexy actress Ellen Page rapes an ugly, old, and obese man! That's what I call super rape!
Sexy diva the ancient 100+year old female vampire rapes a little boy. At least he didn't die a virgin!
Sexy zombie ghost psionic psychic chick rapes the player!! That's an end I'd play a gam
I think its pretty funny that I've taken the Con side, because that is exactly what I am. Con. I am against this debate in its entirety. It's disgusting, unnerving, and a good example of how far trolls are willing to go just to get a rise out of people.
Rape is rape, and rapists are rapists, no matter their gender. A woman is just as vile, just as evil as any man if she rapes somebody. She doesn't get a pass because she's sexy. So, the sexiest rapist is a person that doesn't rape at all. Now, please go back under your bridge as the rest of us humans try to pretend that you don't exist.
I did not intend to be 'debating' the appropriateness of this debate. It was not in the resolution to be debating on appropriatness. If you don't want me to exist then don't accept this challenge!
I never said we were debating whether or not this debate is appropriate. I was stating that it wasn't. Also, I put forward my contenders. The best rapist is a person who doesn't rape. You, however, have wasted a round and therefore lose due to your own rules.
sixtynine forfeited this round.
sixtynine forfeited this round.
That picture was directed at you. Besides it's not like communists didn't rape over 5 million people on their way to rape Berlin.
Anyways for anyone viewing this debate here is the real debate.
Was your intent to try and say that I'm gay because I was raped? Because I wasn't. If not, then I don't understand your picture's relevance to the debate at hand.
This debate wasn't about communism or the actions done by communists.

The Lagos State Government, like most other good-intentioned Nigerians, is beginning to come to terms with its limitation to remove the traffic gridlock on the Oshodi Apapa Expressway.
A no-nonsense Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola had thought he would in his usual "action-style", throw the magic-wand and 'e-fiam!", the gridlock, particularly, the aspect between the Trinity Bus Stop and Tin Can Island Port would disappear. How wrong he was!
Subsequently, he has moved his Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) big boys there several times, to ginger or compliment the already frustrated group of police stationed their. No way!
Refusing to clearly accept defeat on the issue, the Maritime First learnt he took decisive actions that compelled the Federal authorities to draft in the military, particularly, the Navy, to help vanquish the gridlock. Still no way!
On one occasion, he threatened to impound any trucks he found, illegitimately "parking", and obstructing easy flow of traffic. On another occasion, he carried out the threat. All was still the same!
The Action Governor of Lagos State has defeated almost all the traffic challenges in the State. And gradually, he seems to be coming to term, with the fact that, even for a focused and determined government, the silvery cloud on a sunny day, may still have some dark linings.
Some 15 years ago, the express-way between the Oshodi and Apapa had no gridlock. Some 10 years away, nobody dreamt of any gridlock. Then, the authorities past failures to put in place, an enduring formulas for provision of petroleum products when and where needed began to take its toll.
The Atlas Cove Jetty, a platform created by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and the NNPC to received larger tanker vessels, laden with petroleum products began to suffer more and more hiccups.
It worked intermittently.
During this period, "smart" Nigerians also learned they could key into the authorities shortcomings. So, when the ships berthed at the Atlas Cove Jetty and discharged, enabling the Cove to pump products towards Monsimi in Ogun State; Ibadan in Oyo State and Ore Depot in Ondo State, the big boys also waylaid the products, by "tapping" into the pipelines, and stealing from their. Those who did were in local parlance called"bunkering" or "bunkerers". It was regarded as a powerful name, not derogatory appellation. Why?
Poor people do not engage in "bunkering". Those who do needed information, to know when products would be pumped. Such information, the poor could not afford to pay for. Those "bunkerers" needed co-joined tanker vehicles and the skilled men and materials to perpetuate their hobby. They also needed the outlets to sell off the stolen products; all of these, the poor could not afford.
But, it was also a well paying hobby! Each successful trip, according to informed sources, yielded several milion Naira, overnight!
Perhaps, this was also why the perpetrators usually escaped justice. They could buy their way out of trouble. Consequently, the "business" thrives.
Unfortunately, rather than fight them, the authorities slacked in the responsibility of providing the products. Fuel got scarce. Periodic fuel queues became a norm.
Then, a group of entrepreneurs came to the rescue: they obtained approval from Government to build "tank farms" and supply fuel to Nigerians, via tanker vehicles, who would move the products from their "farms" to the petrol stations. They also paid heavily to obtain the "license". Many of them took heavy loans, running into billions of Naira, and on which they paid in compound interest. They were into legitimate business. They created the desired employment. But, as their businesses thrived, the trucks and tanker vehicles they brought also created not an ordinary traffic; but a GRIDLOCK!
Unfortunately for the residents and other road users, these group of people are mostly Billionaires. They have powerful friends in high places. They do not need to visit the corridor of power; those in the corridors sometimes, visited them, for campaign funds!
So, how do we remove the gridlock?
Would it be possible to remove the ants, if the granulated sugar, is still lying fallow in the farm? Have we accepted our mistakes, by acknowledging that it is the accumulation of our overall mistakes that created the gridlock? And are we now prepared to appreciate the enormity of the force, behind the gridlock?
A chieftain of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents who spoke on condition of anonymity said he parks his car everyday around Isolo, before coming to Dikko Inde House ANLCA Secretariat, at Mile 2; in dread of the gridlock. The National Council President, Mr. Lucky Eyis Amiwero says he particularly conducted studies on the nature of the phenomenon, which enabled him identified its "high tides" so that he could totally avoid it. A journalist, Funso Olojo described it as pure"hell". The doyen of the Nigerian maritime industry, and Ibadan High Chief, Adebayo Babatunde Sarumi once experienced it: he stayed alone in his car, from around 4.00 pm to about 12.45 am!
Perhaps, it is for reasons like this, that Governor Fashola may not rest. And perhaps, it is for these reasons that all Nigerians, particularly the powers that be, in Abuja, must see the prolongation of this gridlock, as a National Disgrace!

aww, that really sucks!
My cheetah mariels arrived a few weeks ago...but before I ordered them, I thought really hard (actually, a month of obsessing haha) and asked a lot of bloggers who bought the mariels before I jumped in and ordered half a size up. I'm glad I did size up! I usually buy a size 6 in JCs. However, I think ordering a full size up would have been a bit bigger than I'd like but absolutely better than it being small. I'm lucky the 6.5's were just perfect!
Hope you get the right size soon! =)

UPDATE: thanks to all, you guys (gals) ;) are sooo sweeet!
I returned them and called customer service, turned out I had to pay over $12 shipping, when I did northing worng, all I did was order my normal size. I told the customer serv. assc. that the shoe was so small on me it seemed there might have been a labeling or sizing mistake, he said the merch. dep, and everyone at the office d]tried it on and agreed that the sizing is true to size! WTF! I have never been a 9.5 in my life!!
Alexandra: thanks, but yes I already sent them back! :(
GABII: thanks, that gives me some hope :)
Rosy: that is soo good that you did your research brefore! I am so glad they worked for you, as for me I am worried that the pair I got was sized wrong, and that's the reason it was sooo short in length, and now when I rec. a size up it's going to be to big! OH! well all I can do now is wait!
DENI: I am sorry about that, I am not sure if it was just the sizing on the shoe I got, or on the whole style, as soon as I get the size up, I will let you know!
thanks girls you are the best!! :)
IVY: thanks hun, I had to go with a whole size bigger, it was mostly the length that was very short!

Be yourself, that is all you can be. No matter what you do and how hard you try to be ' good enough', for some people you are always going to be ' not good enough'. That is their prerogative and their way.
Don't make yourself unhappy to make others happy, at least not all the time, because when it is all said or done it's your life. Your choices and your consequences, you are the one who is going to have to face the long term effects and not them.
But I also believe in this: Don't purposely hurt others in order for you to get what you want or to be happy. What goes around comes around. It may not seem like that sometimes but if you do good to others good will come back to you.

Do you have seeds that can be candled to check for viability? Make a cheap light box that is customizable and will get the job done!
Oct 11, 2014 6:36 PM CST
|That is absolutely amazing. I never thought about checking to see if seeds are viable.
I noticed that about half of my amarylis x belladonna blooms have produced seed pods that are becoming large and showing signs of seed inside. The other half are just fading away and not enlarging.
So now when the seed pods are ready to harvest I will know how to check for viability. Thank you so much Joe.
Oct 11, 2014 8:57 PM CST
|OK Joe, now your secret is out! I like it! I think one could sit and hold that in their lap to do the work. Beats busting my back for hours over the Pyrex pie plate on the lamp shade!
Oct 11, 2014 9:13 PM CST
|You will need to experiment, Lynn. Candling like this doesn't work with the vast majority of seeds. Sometimes the seeds are just too tiny, but usually it is because light does not penetrate through the seed enough to see "life". And even if it does, sometimes it's just not a reliable method. Knowing what to look for can also be a stumbling block, since embryos (live and dead) can look very different (or similar) in different types of seed.
Oct 11, 2014 9:31 PM CST
|Would it work for the Amaryllis x belladonna?
Oct 11, 2014 10:28 PM CST
|Looking at how big and thick those seeds are, I'd say it's doubtful. But you won't know until you try.
Once you have the light box set up, you'll be able to try it out on lots of things, not just seeds. Illuminated leaves, for instance, can show a lot of intricate veining that is really quite beautiful!

|Ingenuity like this just tickles me. Nice post!
This is fun: The thread "Asa's former lawn...or (better) Dirt's current gardens" in Garden Photos forum
I update this sometimes: https://garden.org/blogs/view/...
Oct 12, 2014 6:28 AM CST
|I will say that Rick is right, that if the seeds are thick it will definitely be harder. This is something that works particularly well for lilies and that is all I've used it for so far.You can go with the LED lights that are a little more costly but definitely brighter. Also, if it is too bright I throw some tissue paper or a blank peice of printer paper over the box to nut the light a little bit.
Oct 12, 2014 8:30 AM CST
|Thank you for the link Rick. Those seeds are on the large side.
Oct 18, 2014 5:43 PM CST
|Best idea to come along in my 20 plus years of sorting lily seed!
Oct 18, 2014 6:47 PM CST
|Thanks Lorn. That means a lot coming from you. In the month or so I've been using it I've switched to LED tap lights. The other ones were just too cheap and not functioning well. If it was too bright I put a peice of tissue paper under it and I've had no static cling problems with the box at all. As a matter of fact I've used the groove in the front of the box to help separate the good seed from the chaff.
Oct 18, 2014 7:22 PM CST
|I have the stuff to make my box. Smaller than the typical craft box and one LED tap light. It is indeed bright enough to need a sheet of paper over it. I'm going to need it soon as my entire kitchen table is covered with paper cups, mostly lily seeds but a few others too.
Thanks Joe for the tmail tip to prefer LED over conventional .

Hi there, I've been following this thread with quite some interest. I like the idea of one monitoring thread that checks memory and then calls on the different stores to free some up if necessary. As an attachment I included a (very rough, first version, pre-alpha... you get it;-) StoreJanitor. To get this to run in your environment do the following: 1) add a new role named "janitor" to org/apache/cocoon/cocoon.roles 2) add an <janitor> element to cocoon.xconf, similar to the MRUMemoryStore ones 3) Expand the Store interface by a "public void free()" method. 4) Add the Store to the Janitor surveillance, i.e.: StoreJanitor janitor = (StoreJanitor)manager.lookup(StoreJanitor.ROLE); janitor.addToSurveillance(this); As mentioned above, this is far from complete. I'm sending this in so people that are more knowledgable than I am can take a look at it. I'd appreciate any (rocks!, sucks) feedback.
