Every company aspires to make it big and keep going higher. It is also every company's objective to keep its client base intact and always satisfied with the services being offered. The Instaforex strategy of keeping and at the same time improving its customers' trading strategies.
Instforex doesn't just provide top notch quality services but has these contests and initiatives that keep the client base intact and in a way helps to increase the number. On a monthly basis there is a contest worth 118400 USD to be won and on a weekly basis there is a contest worth 150000 USD. In 2011 luxurious cars, Lotus Elise and Hummer H3 were won by two clients of Instaforex. This shows how much the company is committed to its mandate and clients engaging in trading.
The year of establishment for Instaforex International Broker was in 2007 by the Instaforex group. It has seen to opening 265 Instaforex offices worldwide today and serves more than 1000000 forex traders worldwide. This number comprises of both the professionals in the field of forex and also beginners. Instaforex has been doing so well since 2007. It was named by World Finance Magazine as best broker in Asia. The company has also managed to be awarded the 'best broker' tittle for four consecutive years in Russia. November 2012 was a jubilant time for Instaforex since it was awarded the high valued award of 'Best Broker CIS'. Indeed this company's recognitions through awards in its years of operation proves that there is a lot to it that pulls in clients.
Clients always feel appreciated and their needs taken care of by companies that come up with programs or conducive options to chose from when engaging with them and Instaforex has very many advantages that will answer the question "why chose us?" With Instaforex clients are availed to ECN broker services, clients are provided for an availability to work with 107 currency pairs, a client can be able to withdraw available funds from his/her trading account to the Instaforex MasterCard, the initial start up deposit size can be as low as $10 when a trader wants to begin, choice of forex option where a trader can operate contracts that fixed profit with limited risks, 5% annual interest, free swap accounts, and best swaps among other companies since Instaforex rolled out EQUAL swap ;the swap in a buying deal is equal to the swap in a selling deal. There are many other catch deals and advantages with Instaforex apart from the mentioned thus translates to how one will definitely gain from the company.
However there is one thing that people are not quite happy with, mostly the new comers. Registration to Instaforexis through their website and one thing that displeases people is the 72 hour waiting period imposed by the company for people to wait when they reach the verification process where someone sends in various relevant documents and is in two levels. People have raised complains about this long time it takes to verify an account and even mention it in the website's live chat.
All in all Intaforex International Broker is your best pick when it comes to forex.

Here is my outfit and make up from Friday, which was another beautiful sunny day. Sadly, I spent most of it cleaning and cooking so the only time I got to enjoy the sun was when I went to the shop for the ingredients for dinner!

Skirt - Ailibi (ancient)
Sandals - Primark
NYC Skin Matching Foundation - Light
Witch Concealer Pen - Light

I bought this MAC Lovedust lipstick from Miss Budget Beauty's blogsale for £9. From the photo it seemed a shimmery nude colour and to be honest, I should have done more research before I bought it!! It is a matte lipstick, a nude that leans towards gold with tiny flecks of glitter/shimmer in it. I was slightly disappointed at first but it has grown on me, and I will definitely get use out of it for nights out with a dark, smoky eye. Apparently it's discontinued too, so would be hard to come across otherwise.
Anyway, clothes and make up aside, I am very nervous today because I start my new job tomorrow! Help!! I am so scared... and the thought of how early I am going to have to get up is making me feel sick! I have very much enjoyed having July off, even though I spent most of it doing painting work.
The point is, I don't think I will be able to do blog posts or videos as regularly. I will try my best, however it may take a week or two for me to adjust to my new schedule. I will be getting up at 6am (or possibly earlier) travelling to Belfast, working until 5pm, then not getting home until 6 or 6.30pm. I will barely have enough time for dinner, shower, and a visit to my boyfriend before bed at 10pm. Weekends will be my main free time so once I get used to my new routine I will do my best to blog regularly again.
Wish me luck!!!

I have tons of mixed feelings about this one because it is simply SO SWEET. I don't mind excessively sweet teas in the least, in fact I'm generally drawn to them, but the aftertaste on this is like Hallowe'en gum and whatever tangy flavour there is gets completely absorbed by the overbearing sweetness.
That said, it's pretty good as a pop and my little brother doesn't mind when I make it for him. And for some reason, I keep coming back to it.

Is it the CIA's turn?
For weeks, the FBI has been excoriated for having failed to follow 9/11-related leads unearthed by field agents months before the airliner attacks. In response to the criticism, FBI Director Robert Mueller III was recently compelled to announce an extensive reorganization of the FBI and to embrace Coleen Rowley, an FBI agent in Minneapolis, who wrote Mueller a scorching letter–later leaked–that detailed numerous problems within the bureau. (The changes at the FBI will provide more latitude–perhaps too much–to field agents, even though a key foul-up occurred because FBI headquarters failed to coordinate two different field investigations.)
While Mueller and the FBI have been in the hot seat, other key agencies that contributed to the US government screw-up on September 11–most notably, the CIA and the Pentagon–have not drawn much fire. The Agency failed to act on intelligence from the mid-90s indicating Osama bin Laden's network was interested in a 9/11-type plot. The Pentagon did not prepare for such an assault. But George Tenet and Donald Rumsfeld, and their respective bureaucracies, escaped crucifixion, let alone harsh words. There were no demands for reorganization or an examination of the bureaucratic culture at either CIA headquarters or the Pentagon.
Now comes the news the CIA engaged in its own boneheaded move. As first reported by Newsweek this week, the CIA, having spied on a meeting of al Qaeda operatives in Kuala Lumpur in January 2000, tracked one of these suspected terrorist to the United States and discovered another already possessed a multiple-entry visa allowing him to enter and leave the United States at will, and the agency did nothing with this information. The two men–Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar–went about their business in the United States for months, opening bank accounts and obtaining driver's licenses in their own names, enrolling in aviation schools, before they walked on to Flight 77 on September 11 and presumably helped crash it into the Pentagon.
For about nineteen months, according to Newsweek, the CIA did not notify the FBI, the State Department or the Immigration and Naturalization Service about the pair. The two men were not added to the watch list used by the State Department and INS to screen visa applicants. Neither name was red-flagged until August 23, 2001–when the CIA did contact the other agencies about Almihdhar, who, by then, was already in the United States. (Almihdhar's visa had expired in late 2000, but the State Department, left clueless by the CIA, had okayed a new one for him.) The FBI only then began searching for the two men, not realizing it had but nineteen days to locate them.

A[ edit ] Farrah Abraham , the former Teen Mom star, had a pornographic film released by Vivid Entertainment in May that was marketed as a sex tape. Abraham defended her decision to make the video claiming that she wanted to "celebrate [her] awesome body". Pamela Anderson and then-husband Tommy Lee had various interludes from their honeymoon placed online by Seth Warshavsky of the Internet Entertainment Group in as one of the earliest internet celebrity sex tapes.
The footage had been circulating on the internet for many years. The video showed Chu having sex with Tseng Chung-ming, who was later confirmed as a married man.
Despite local authorities' immediate effort to pull all the magazines in question from the market, the video quickly spread via the Internet. In January , search engine Lycos reported that her name was among the most searched terms.
On 2 January , Chua announced his resignation, despite saying he would not do so the previous day. It revealed Cicarelli on a beach in Spain fondling her boyfriend, Merrill Lynch employee Renato "Tato" Malzoni, and later having sex with him in the water.
Contostavlos accused MC Ultra of releasing the tape, but he denied it. Subsequently, at the age of 33, Fisher started her own porn site, released a pay-per-view adult film titled Amy Fisher: Caught On Tape, and commenced to tour the United States as a stripper. Hayden Kho , and which were distributed over the Internet without her consent. It is commercially sold by Penthouse Home Video as the "Wedding Night" tape, even though the wedding gown was actually a Halloween costume.
Hilton initially attempted to stop the distribution of the tape, but she now receives profits from the distribution of the video. She threatened to take legal action to block its planned distribution by Vivid Video. Her sex tape bolstered her career when E! She then appeared in her second video entitled Another Night in China in In , Laurer starred in her first professional pornographic film for Vivid Video entitled Backdoor to Chyna.
He also filmed Titmuss performing and receiving oral sex with another woman. The video became widely distributed in under the title "Titmuss Out for the Lads. Jenna Lewis , a contestant on Survivor , had her wedding night sex tape released. It features 42 minutes of sex with her husband, model Travis Wolfe , in a Las Vegas, Nevada hotel room.
Atlanta have a sex tape, which leaked in April For her mainstream work, she is best known for her appearances on the science fiction television series The X-Files and Space: A pornographic video tape of Mindy McCready and an ex-boyfriend referred to as "Peter" [43] went on sale by Vivid Entertainment on 19 April In June , a sex tape of Puerto Rican singer Noelia and her former boyfriend started circulating on the Internet. Two sex tapes featuring Tequila were rumoured to exist as early as Rumours had been floating around since July the previous year of the tape's existence.
The tape features 14 minutes of high action activity and is believed to have been shot using a camcorder in a home on Sydney's Northern Beaches. The video was released through Vivid Entertainment.

Agriturismo Frattavecchia is an ancient owner's house, entirely built in red bricks, the typical handmade construction material of Trasimeno lake region. We are at Frattavecchia village, very close to Castiglione del Lago city.
For the last two centuries, many generations of peasants families have lived dedicating themselves to the cultivation of typical crops using the fertile soil of Trasimeno.
The two former upstairs flats, the great granary and wine cellar,and the groundfloor stables are now 7 comfortable apartments for families and groups, three on the groundfloor and four on the top floor. All the apartments are furnished according to the local tradition, but with many comforts: a living room, a fully equipped cooking area, heating system and bathroom with shower. All apartments are similar, but we tried to make each one unique. Some are equipped with fireplace, others have a small loft with a wood stair to create an atmosphere from the old times.
Each apartment has its independent entrance from outside, and there is external garden furniture for outdoor meals. The impressive construction is sweetened by two external stairs - South and North - which lead the garden to the upstairs apartments. The panoramic swimming pool, the tennis court, the10 - minute walking lake, the huge garden and the hundreds of olive groves surrounding the main house, contribute to create a special atmosphere, full of relax and tranquillity.
For those who love other sports there is also the possibility of practicing them; just a few kilometres away from Frattavecchia, there are horse riding areas, sailing boats, golf court.
Relaxing and quietness are, for sure, pilars for a vacation at Agriturismo Frattavecchia. Though, a stay with us means mainly the possibility of enjoying arts, culture and traditions, since we are very close to important "cities of arts" within Tuscany and Umbria regions. A very strategic position for a trip between past and present.
Very close from us there is Castiglione del Lago, a medieval castle town over Trasimeno lake. It's old center forms a peninsula "invading" the lake. Castiglione del Lago is member of "Borghi piu belli d'Italia" and "Citta Slow" which are associations which assigns the most beautiful Italians burghs and those who preserve an old rhythm of life, slow and peaceful. In the western part of the city there is the Palazzo Ducale, built by Ascanio della Corgna, an old nobleman part of one of the most important families during the 16th century. Inside you can admire several paintings, some of them from Niccolo Circignani, and continue your route till the medieval city walls.
We suggest to the lovers of gastronomy to try the local restaurants of Castiglione del Lago and surroundings; all of them cook their specialities ( among them fishes from our lake) with the best extra virgin olive oil produced in our area, and serve their dishes with splendid local wines.
Nearby our agriturismo there are beautiful villages such as Panicale, Paciano, Piegaro, Città della Pieve, Tuoro, Magione, Passignano and also two of the three islands of the lake which can be reached by boat: Polvese and Maggiore. These villages, all of them have medieval origins, are linked by a common historical and artistical background. Tuoro was the "stage" of the famous Battaglia di Annibale (Hannibal's Battle) in 517 b.C., between the carthaginian troops and romans guided by Caio Flaminio. A local and traditional handycraft market is also present in this area, as a sign of the importance of these places in remote times.
And there are also Perugia, Assisi, Cortona, Montepulciano, Siena, Orvieto, Firenze and Rome…all of them complete the ideal travel into arts, splendid nature and landscapes of the center part of Italy…all of them easily reachable by train or car.
Every day you can choose one of these destinations and come back at the end of the day to relax in the swimming pool, to play tennis, to read a book immersed in the silence of our olive grove, or simply to sit down while you admire the landscape of our lake, our countryside and the Tuscanian and Umbrian hills which surround our place, sensations that just Agriturismo Frattavecchia can offer to you.
Let arts, architecture, culture and people, landscapes, old villages ispire and enrich you. As it has been inspiring many poets and musicians along the years.

Our Keynote, T.J. Edwards, is an innovative science teacher at MVPS. The title of his presentation is "Planting Ts".
Keynote Description: Technology and engineering can often be the "project" that supports science and math curriculum. Could we (or should we) flip the script to lead with technology and engineering principles to bring meaning and purpose to other disciplines? How might we plant and cultivate "T-shaped people". This talk will consider how technology education as the base of the "T" might fundamentally support broader education and turn projects into a purpose.
Please click on this link for a linked map and to view the detailed agenda. We have six wonderful breakout sessions which will be repeated. We will be asking you to select your top two choices of breakouts to optimize room selection.
If you are planning to bring guests, please complete a registration for each person. Remember that the fee for guests is $10 to cover the cost of lunch. Please don't forget to pay your dues!

Cops Still Looking for Carjacking Suspects
KOMU spoke with Columbia police Wednesday, and they do believe that these events were related. KOMU visited the scenes of both crimes again.
According to police, at the ARC Tuesday night, three male suspects approached the victim near her car. She believed one of them was carrying a gun. The suspects stole the car and drove off. Police believe the same three suspects tried and failed to steal a car an hour later at Hy-Vee.
Now, both the ARC parking lot and the one at Hy-Vee are well lit at night.
And Tuesday night, at the time of two incidents, both lots were fairly full. Police don't know why the robbers chose these locations, but they maintain that car-jackings in Columbia are very rare, and offer tips to prevent them.
"Be aware of your surroundings, try to park in well-lit areas. By all means if you see somehting suspicious, it probably is," said investigative commander Brad Nelson with the Columbia Police Department. "Get in your car, lock your doors, drive away, honk your horn, whatever you want to do to get attention to yourself."
None of the victims were injured in the robbery or the attempted robbery. Police say they plan to make patrol changes and increase security in the coming months.
If you have any information regarding this event, call Columbia Crime Stoppers at (573) 875-TIPS (8477).
Crime Stoppers does not require you to give your name. You provide the information you have and nothing more is required. If you wish, you will receive a Crime Stoppers caller number. This will allow you to receive any reward money. Crime Stoppers pays up to 1,000 dollars for information that leads to an arrest.

NEW JERSEY NATURAL GAS ANNOUNCES GRAND PRIZE WINNER OF SAVE ENERGY. $AVE MONEY. WIN PRIZES! SWEEPSTAKES03/12/2015 - For Immediate Release
Wall, NJ -- New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) announced the winner of its fifth annual Save Energy. $ave Money. Win Prizes! sweepstakes, which encourages customers to give their luck a try while getting practical energy-efficient tips they can use throughout the home. Recently, NJNG gave away a total of more than $30,000 in prizes to 49 lucky winners, including $5,000 to one lucky grand prize winner and $5,000 to a local school or community organization of her choice.
Allia Ranna, mother of two from Marlboro Township, was surprised to receive a phone call from NJNG a few days before Christmas letting her know she was the grand prize winner. Allia participated in the sweepstakes after reading about it in NJNG's monthly E-Tips, a free e-newsletter featuring seasonal energy-saving tips; news about rebates, incentives and special offers; links to energy-efficiency programs; updates on available resources and more. To register for E-Tips go to the Save Energy & Money tab at njng.com and click E-Tips.
Allia was equally thrilled to support a community organization, selecting The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties to receive the $5,000 donation. Linda Keenan, director of development of the FoodBank, said, "The money will go a long way in supporting the organization's mission of alleviating hunger and building food security in our communities." Every $1 donated provides three meals. "We are grateful to Allia and New Jersey Natural Gas for their commitment in the fight to end hunger. With this $5,000 donation we can provide 15,000 meals to families in need throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties."
Save Energy. $ave Money. Win Prizes! connects NJNG customers with the tools and resources to save energy and money. "This past year more than 4,600 participants played, receiving practical tips on how to save money on their energy bills. On top of that they received information on great programs to help make energy-efficient investments more affordable," said Anne-Marie Peracchio, director of conservation and clean energy policy at NJNG. Since players averaged more than three visits during the 2014 sweepstakes, they were exposed to a total of nearly 15,000 energy-saving tips.
To get energy-saving tips and learn about energy-efficiency rebates and incentives go to the Save Energy & Money tab at njng.com.

Process: My audience for this portfolio is potential employers. First, I ranked my projects in the order I liked them so that I could place them with my favorites first. Then, I searched for a background for my slides. I saw the clouds, and I just loved them. I absolutely love clouds and dark rainy days, and so I felt they were a good reflection of my personality. As I was creating an intro and conclusion slide, the wording of the conclusion slide came to me, and it fit well with the image of the clouds. I inserted my photos as jpgs onto the slides, added a color bar with the titles, saved it as a PDF, converted the PDF to jpgs and inserted the new jpg slides into a new powerpoint project which I then uploaded to SlideShare.
Critique: Megan Randall critiqued my portfolio on Facebook on Tuesday. She said she felt that the typography going off of my color bar made it look less professional. However, Sister Peterson said she thought it worked, in her critique, because many of the slides did it and it was unified. Sister Peterson pointed out some alignment issues with text on some of the slides, as well as some letters feeling cramped, so I adjusted those. She also pointed out that some of my slides that had both vertical and horizontal typography had vertical words leading away from the horizontal words, which caused a confusion on which order to read them in. I adjusted the order and direction of the words so that they flow into each other as they'r supposed to be read. Sister Peterson also pointed out that I needed to add a 4th slide to my slide design page and said they should all be the same size. She recommended aligning all my photos from the photographic study on the bottom to reduce the feel of trapped space in my typography on that slide. She also said I should add my name to the last slide. I did that, and actually ended up switching my intro and conclusion slides because I felt they worked better that way.

There has been an outpouring of relief at the news it appears the life of former formula one champion Michael Schumacher is no longer in danger.
Widespread relief as Schumacher comes out of coma and goes home
Widespread relief as Schumacher comes out of coma and goes home
Social media has been full of the famous and fans alike expressing their pleasure at the news he is out of his coma, although it is still not clear to what extent Schumacher has recovered.
"Hopefully he will get better. I don't know. I don't have any prognosis. He is in great hands and let's hope he will get better."
"I think he needs to be alone with his his family, and to cure (heal) and to take some energy to be himself again," were the reactions of two employees of the CHUV hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Schumacher injured his head while skiing last December and initially his chances of survival appeared slim. But you don't become the greatest driver of all time without having some bottle, and doctors say rehabilitation can only mean his condition will improve.

Takeaway: Expert testimony that does not provide the underlying facts or data upon which the opinion is based is entitled to little or no weight under 37 C.F.R. § 42.65(a).
In its Decision, the Board denied institution of inter partes review of claims 1, 2, 4-15, 23-26, 28-31, 35-41, 50, 57, 62, 64-67, and 70-72 of the '827 patent.
Petitioner challenged claims 1, 2, 4-15, 23-26, 28-31, 35-41, 50, 57, 62, 64-67, and 70-72 as anticipated under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) by Gogek. Petitioner alleged that Gogek inherently teaches the subject matter of independent claim 1 based on experiments undertaken by Dr. Leed and Dr. Vickers, under the supervision of Dr. Hireskorn.
The Board noted that Petitioner did not use asbestos fines in its experiments whereas Gogek in Example 3 describes a refractory block made from, inter alia, asbestos fines. Dr. Hireskorn asserted that asbestos is no longer commercially available in the U.S. and that the use of Superwool 607 as a substitute "would not materially alter the physical properties of the insulating block or the amounts of residual ionic species of sulfates, phosphates, nitrates, carbonates, and combinations thereof that are assessed in a leach test."
The Board stated that there was no prior art or other literature provided by Petitioner in support of Dr. Hireskorn's statement. Dr. Hireskorn also does not provide a basis for his opinion. The Board stated that expert testimony that does not provide the underlying facts or data upon which the opinion is based is entitled to little or no weight under 37 C.F.R. § 42.65(a). Petitioner argued that the Board should not doubt Dr. Hireskorn's opinion at this preliminary stage. However, the Board stated that a "lack of credible support is no justification to put a patent owner to the expense of defending an inter partes review trial." Thus, the Board concluded that Petitioner had not established a reasonable likelihood that it will prevail with respect to any of the challenged claims.

The immersed interface method: a numerical approach for partial differential equations with interfaces
Li, Zhilin, 1956-
MetadataShow full item record
This thesis describes the Immersed Interface Method (IIM) for interface problems, in which the partial differential equations have discontinuities and singularities in the coefficients and the solutions. A typical example of such problems is heat conduction in different materials (discontinuous heat conductivity), or fluid interface problems where the surface tension gives a singular force that is supported only on the interface. The complexity of the interfaces makes it more difficult to develop efficient numerical methods.Our immersed interface method is motivated by and related to Peskin's immersed boundary method (IBM) for solving incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with complicated boundaries. Our method, however, can apply to more general interface problems and usually attains second order accuracy.We use uniform Cartesian grids so that we can take advantages of many conventional difference schemes for the regular grid points which are away from the interface. Hence attention is focused on developing difference schemes for the irregular grid points near the interface, which can cut through the grid in an arbitrary manner. Assuming a knowledge of jump conditions on the solution across the interface, which usually can be obtained either from the differential equation itself or by physical reasoning, we carefully choose the stencil and the coefficients of the difference scheme. By using local coordinate transformations and a modified undetermined coefficients method, we force the local truncation error to be $O(h\sp2)$ at regular grid points and $O(h)$ at irregular ones. For many interface problems, this leads to a second order accurate solution globally even if the solution is discontinuous. Cubic splines are used to represent and update the complicated interfaces.We have implemented the immersed interface method for a number of interface problems including: general elliptic equations in one, two and three dimensions, alternating direction implicit methods for heat equations with singular sources or dipoles, the Stokes equations with a moving interface, and Stefan-like 1D moving interface problems in which the interface is determined by a nonlinear differential equation. Theoretical analysis and numerical examples are presented to show the efficiency of the immersed interface method. We believe that this methodology can be successfully applied to many other interface problems as well.

Question #1121063644
Monday, 11-Jul-2005
Intertype Relations
I am a male Enfp or ENFj and am currently married to a Female ENTj. We dated for 5 years. Got engaged, called off the wedding and then eventually we go married 2 months later. We have had a lot of fights and I mean a lot from the day we moved in together. But we were able to talk them out afterwards. But there have so many arguments. It is so hard on me because I am a very loving and caring person. We have been separated for 3 months. I am seeing a PHD level psychologist about my ADD, codependence issues, and issues in our marriage. We are seeing a marriage counselor, and she is seeing a therapist as well. She tells me that in her heart she has lost her love and connection toward me, but in her mind she really loves me. She says that because our past has been filled with so much turmoil that there is not a base to support a marriage from now to the future. Not only that but she says the more I try and solve our marriage issues and it drives her away from me. I did the comparison chart. When I clicked between ENTj and ENFJ it seems that we should be compatible, I clicked on ENTj and ENFP it looks very real to dynamics between us. (<Bn) - A is 'Beneficiary' to B this is us. And the last sentence comparison really scared me. "Finally, when the Benefactor is in a superior position to the Beneficiary, it can work quite well, but not when it is the other way round!" Well it is the other way around. I love her so much and want her to love me the same way. What has to happen in order for her to let go of the past and move on to a solid and happy marriage. I have been reading a lot of books to try and bring us back. It seems what she wants is space. Some days she is really warm to me and some days she is very cold to me. We are going to the Maine for a family reunion and she is very nervous about that but has agreed to go. We are living in different houses. Please share with me and others like on the best way to save this marriage. Help!! --
Your Answers: 1+
This is going to sound so obvious and so unoriginal and so many people have sad the same thing so many times - It is your life and you can do whatever you pleased with it, but your relationship with this woman does not seem to work. You have a choice, you can either spend the rest of your life in misery trying to figure out what went wrong or even worse, trying to bring you two together, which most likely would make her very unhappy, or you can drop it and get on with your life. Think about it, even if you manage to win her back, for how long do you think you two will last before your next major fight? And for Christ's sake don't try to have any children as in "children will keep us together, therefore save our marriage". Who do you think will suffer the most in a dysfunctional family where parents disagree and quarrel all the time? On a bright note, in 50-60 years time you probably will learn how to avoid most of those little tiny misunderstandings that tend to escalate in major arguments and so you probably will have less fights as a result. But do you really want to wait for so long before you start living a happy life? --
Dr Zoidberg
You have to ease up on her and let her have more influence on you while you try to lessen the influence you have on her. I hope you do not take the bleak fatalistic view of the person above. Learn how to persevere through the ups and downs. --
Im a female thinker and I have a relationship with a feeler. Some of your problem may stem from the fact that sometimes feelers can appear to be a little overwhelming and clingy and ig can cause people like me to push that person away. Perhaps she just needs some space. Dont overanalyse the situation, just give it some time and space and if its meant to work out, it will.
The first response was a bit negative but it does hold a realisticness to it that is hard to overlook. It sounds as if the relationship is salvageable If you are determined to be with this person, but it will take a lot of work and careful maneuvering on your part to get things back to smooth sailing between the two of you.. however, perseverence and hard work are common for any relationship. I can speak from experience, that even in more favorable relations such as duality or mirror, problems do arise and are frequent. Relationships are a lot of work no matter how you slice it. I guess I'm done here, but one more (albeit bleaker) suggestion is to call it quits, and start anew with someone you are more compatible with. Obviously it will be painful for the both of you, but in the long run you may find it to be the better (and much less stressful) course of action. Like I said, a future is certainly possible between you, but it's going to take a *lot* of work and careful tip-toeing to get things back to normal. And try not to smother us NT's so much! We like you, don't worry. --
As an INFP/J I can relate. I've dated several ENTJS and they seem so tough to NFs. It never got to the second date. I can't imagine staying on this rollercoaster for the rest of your life. I don't know how old you are but assuming you're young.. why sign on for that?! or possibly put kids through that. My suggestion: go through the pain of letting go of this person. Then you will be free. One day believe me you will be happy you did. You will find a nice ISFP or other F and you will sigh and say "Ahh, feels so good to be home... " : ) --
Being an ENFP myself, I would not get involved with an ENTJ in the first place, and I really think a psychologically healthy ENFP wouldn't. You say you are in therapy yourself and probably are trying to save yourself by saving the relationship. Work on yourself first, the relationship is probably a symptom of your psychological issues. Choose for yourself! But if you insist, buy the book "Just Your Type" By Paul Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger and look up the chapter on the ENFP and ENTJ combination. Sorry that I sound so harsh, but if you are indeed ENFP, I'm sure sooner or later this message will get through. --
I agree with A6 --
This is my take...(i'm also an enfp)...I agree with socionics ~ make sure that in all times u're in the superior position and she is not. It seems like ur partner's doing whatever she wants when she wants, u must make sure you're the one in control of the marriage! You dont have to boss her around but make should u make the right things happen. There's something funny about benefit relationships coz the benefactor doesnt "hear" what the beneficiary says, but the beneficiary does hear what the enfp says. So, haha, perhaps in some ways your perspective of the relationship is quite different to her respective, which can make it difficult. I know arguing is not that nice, but if u argue ur way into the superior position, haha, the arguing should decrease over time if u want it to (ie. you can tell her to stop or suggest it in some way so she gets the point). Arguing can actually be helpful in a relationship sometimes! Haha. Hope this helps! And hope ur relationship works out! --
I am a female ENTJ and I am married to an ENFP. As an ENFP, he has to be a very strong leader or I will run him down like a bulldozer and have no respect for him. I don't think you should worry about the "cold" thing. Sometimes it's really not you, it's just that she may just be busy with something else (on a mission to accomplish something) or irritated about something. I agree with the people here who say you really need to step up and take charge, though. We love each other very much and it has worked for us but that is because he is very strong and I will accommodate him. So stand up, man! If you want it, fight for it! She won't respect you unless you do. And if she doesn't love you, you'll know in about five seconds.
Good luck either way.

The two-year pilot program joining administrative staff at the Upland and Montclair fire departments kicked off this week with a garage fire.
On Wednesday, the first day of the transition, Montclair Battalion Chief Robert Crouch, was the lead officer on the incident, which coincidentally occurred in Upland near the Ontario border.
Montclair City Manager Edward Starr said the transition "so far is moving along," and in the first day, the joint management system was put into use.
Going into the program's first week, Upland Fire Chief Rick Mayhew said both agencies continue to be supportive.
"Everybody is looking forward to the possibilities of what this can do as far as training together and running more calls together and the level of service provided now for the communities," Mayhew said. "Everybody's very excited about it happening."
The program was approved last month by both city councils and will combine command staff, including Mayhew, and drop the service boundary lines between the two cities in June allowing the closest engine to an emergency to respond to incidents in either city.
Chris Jackson, president of the Montclair Firefighters Association, said he has personally noticed a change with the merger in place.
"We went up (Thursday) and exchanged map books with Station 3," he said. "There's a level of excitement, it's great. We are very excited, and it's going to be a great thing for the citizens of both communities."
With the merger in place, both departments will have access to any unit. Which means Montclair will be able to access the Upland ladder truck — if it is not already responding to an emergency — equipment the department has not had access to since the 1970s, Jackson said.
Being able to use the ladder truck will increase safety for fire personnel and also improve the department's ability to fight fires, he said.
"Regionalization is a great thing for the city, a great for the citizens and great thing for the firefighters," Jackson said.
The next phase of the transition is expected to occur later this month when Montclair fire safety personnel will shift to a 48/96 schedule, which is used by Upland's department. By adopting the new schedule, crews will work two consecutive 24-hour shifts for a total of 48 hours on duty and 96 hours off.
The cities have agreed to split compensation costs for Mayhew, who will serve as fire chief for both departments, and a fire marshal, with Upland paying 67 percent and Montclair paying 33 percent.
Upland expects to save $156,000 from sharing the two positions with Montclair.
For Montclair, it will save $476,170 in operating costs.
Each city will continue to be responsible for its own firefighters, including workers' compensation, liability, salary and benefits, and evaluations as well as disciplinary action.

Sweating under the midday sun, Jamal Najib peered over the doghouse, a dead Doberman sprawled at his side. The deafening gunfire had ceased, and he crouched back down. He removed his backpack and lifted up his shirt to inspect the bullet wound. Thanks to Allah, it was only a graze.
His life was spared for a reason, he thought. He must inform the world of the horrifying events he had just witnessed.
Sensing a movement to his right, he twisted around to see Tamara crawling toward him. She carried an infant under her arm, and her clothes were splattered with blood. He crept to her, took the infant, and whispered, "Allah has spared your life too, my dearest cousin."


text: hello, first of all thanks for looking through this post. i am an aspiring writer and a novice programmer, so the game will be extremely simple as i will learn things along the way. i am hoping to get some (just a little) hype about it, even tough i'm not looking for for a huge fan base, 1 or 2 supporters would be nice. so back to the point, this is just a little opening to announce my game, it will be a text adventure in the style of cult classic zork, meaning there will be a room exploration based system with hp, inventory, and gold system. again very basic but simplicity is often the way forward, the game has only just started development and will have a playable demo free for download soon. the game it self will be free, like i would charge for a badly (by some standards) made text adventure, if you want to see this game or just want to ask a question post a comment and let me know if have done anything wrong(this is my first time posting on the site) thanks

Blake Shelton goes outside of his comfort zone and tries sushi for the first time in this funny segment for Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon segment.
After learning Shelton had never tried sushi before, Fallon takes him to Nobu and forces him to eat several different courses of sushi. The result is hysterical.
When they first sit down, Fallon jokingly instructs Shelton not to eat the hot towel, and then pokes fun at him for how he cleans his hands. Then, Fallon introduces Shelton to sake, or as they call it throughout the video -- rice wine. Shelton proclaims that it tastes like "Easter egg coloring," but that doesn't stop him from asking for it about a dozen times.
While not a fan of ginger, which he says has the texture of pre-chewed gum, Shelton did admit he liked one of the sushi rolls. Course two is sashimi, and which causes Shelton to ask, "Hey, what could be more disgusting than raw fish? Whatever this is." Judging by the look on his face, he's not a fan.
When Fallon asks him to plug his record and say what the album name is, Shelton doesn't say anything, presumably because he was trying to choke down whatever he just ate. This causes Fallon to cheekily suggests the title "This Bar Ain't Good Enough," and breaks into a hilarious, on-the-spot country song. Shelton's response? "More rice wine!"
The guys also take down some fried bait, jumbo prawn and a sea urchin shot, none of which Shelton is a fan of. At the end, Fallon reveals the final course which is a Big Mac cheeseburger. Now there's something Shelton can get into.

Excellent job
I've had our carpets cleaned before by other carpet cleaners and the results were typically mediocre at best. After Masters Touch cleaned our carpets, our carpets were CLEAN. Our carpets have not looked this good in ages. Masters Touch was very thorough, reasonable, and well worth the cost. Next time our carpets need cleaning I will be doing business again with Masters Touch. Excellent job.

03-10-2014 - Airport Seeks Request for Qualifications for Stead Development
The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for development at the 5,000-acre Reno-Stead Airport.
Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority, the owner and operator of Reno-Stead Airport, is seeking qualifications from potential development partners with expertise in large and small scale industrial developments. The RFQ includes approximately 3,500 acres of aeronautical and non-aeronautical land.
With Reno- Stead Airport being designated a Federal Aviation Administration test site for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), the RFQ comes at a key time to attract interest in land at an airport that is one of six FAA test sites for UAS in the entire nation. Master development partners, or those interested in smaller parcels, are welcome to reply to the RFQ. Responses are due April 17.
Reno-Stead is a 5,000 acre general aviation airport that is home to 200 based aircraft, a National Guard base, BLM firefighting base, and the famous National Championship Reno Air Races.

New FICO auto score screens out more buyers
Lending tool looks more closely at borrowers
Shopping for a car? Not so fast.
You may think you're ready for a new set of wheels. But your new credit score could have other ideas.
FICO has unveiled a new scoring system for auto loans, and the first lenders will start using it in a couple of weeks, according to Tom Quinn, FICO's vice president of scoring.
One credit bureau, TransUnion, began making it available in March 2009. Equifax and Experian are expected to follow later this summer, he says. According to FICO press releases, the new scoring model "will identify 5 to 15 percent more potential delinquencies."
Good or bad? Hard to tell
Is this change good news or bad news for consumers?
Hard to tell, according to experts. "The important thing that consumers have to understand is that scoring models aren't that transparent," says Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. "So we don't know if this is better or not."
The reason: FICO score formulas are proprietary (think secret recipes for KFC or Coca-Cola), so no one outside the company knows exactly what goes into them.
Your generalized FICO score measures your risk with credit in general, based on your credit report. You can buy your generalized Equifax and TransUnion FICO scores at MyFICO.com. You can also get generalized (but nonFICO) Experian scores at Experian.com.
FICO also works with the credit bureaus to produce industry-specific credit scores, says Craig Watts, public affairs director for FICO, the company formerly known as Fair Isaac. These are used by certain industries, like banks, auto lenders and mortgage lenders and are designed to more accurately reflect a consumer's creditworthiness in a select area or areas. The bureaus provide these scores only to businesses and lenders, not consumers.
So how close is the score auto lenders use to the generalized one that you can buy?
"For the overwhelming majority of consumers, the auto industry score will be relatively close to the [generalized] FICO score," says Quinn. "There is a percentage of the population that will be different. And that's why lenders have opted to use the other [auto industry] score."
New scoring model for auto lenders
Some auto industry watchers see this year's release of the auto industry score as a positive step for consumers. "I think it's a great move by FICO because they've got to find a way to fine-tune the score to address the current credit environment," says Bill Gerhard, director of financial services for the American Automobile Association.
Some consumer experts, too, believe that the new auto scoring model will be better for consumers.
Evan Hendricks, publisher of the "Privacy Times," is cautiously optimistic, though he would like more information on what criteria will eliminate the additional 5 to 15 percent of delinquencies. "Given the lack of transparency about the criteria, it's difficult to say if it's better for consumers," he says. "It's probably an improvement. That said, auto dealers have their own concerns right now. Since most auto dealers are watching their backs to see if they'll be in business, this is not at the top of their priority list."
A new look at old behavior
At this point, most lenders are still using the old score. "Typically, when a new version of the score is released, the lending community will conduct a score validation exercise," says Quinn. And "the bureaus will allow the support and release of both versions."
That's where TransUnion and its client lenders are now, he says. But some lenders will likely be using the score to underwrite loans "in the next couple of weeks," he says.
FICO rolls out new scoring models every two to three years, says Quinn. After a new model is introduced, "usually within 12 to 24 months, the majority (of lenders) have made the transition," he says.
Is FICO's new auto industry score more conservative than the old one? At this point, even FICO doesn't know, says Quinn. But the new model will look at a few consumer behaviors a little differently.
Recent data has shown us that consumers who carry high levels of debt are more risky than they were in previous samples.

FICO vice president of scoring
"Recent data has shown us that consumers who carry high levels of debt are more risky than they were in previous samples," he says. So those consumers will lose more points than they would have under the old model.
The new model is also better able to differentiate between consumers who have minor delinquencies, and those who are sliding into financial free-fall. "What that can mean for some consumers is that they may not be losing as many points for having minor delinquencies," Quinn says.
Is it more difficult to snag a good score under the new scoring system? "It's pushing people both ways," says Quinn. "It's a trade-off."
Since lenders themselves will set the thresholds for various rates and loans, the impact on a consumer "will be unique to each lender," he says. Consumers will need to take that into consideration when shopping for vehicle loans.
Rosemary Shahan, president of Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety (CARS), wouldn't mind a more conservative scoring tool. "You don't want consumers getting into cars they can't afford," she says.
But Shahan would also like consumers to have more information about how the score is calculated, as well as access to the auto industry score before they buy. "In California, at the time you're buying, the dealer has to give you a copy of your score in writing," she says.
Make it work for you
Another difficulty for the car-buying public: For the next year or two, you don't know which scoring model your lender is using.
Buyers can make that work in their favor by comparison shopping for financing, says Gail Hillebrand, senior attorney with Consumers Union. That way, they gain the advantage of getting some loan offers based on the new score and some on the old one.
"Contact a credit union and a couple of banks and get your own rate estimates," she says. See if the dealer can beat your best offer. And if you keep all your applications within a 14-day period, it counts as only one loan application on your credit report.
Shopping around has "always been good advice," says Hillebrand. "But it might be even more important now."

It is 33 years to the day when Vancouver Whitecaps FC crowned a truly memorable season in the North American Soccer League (NASL), with what club president and former player Bob Lenarduzzi described as a "workmanlike" performance.
The 2-1 victory over Tampa Bay Rowdies in the NASL Soccer Bowl was the icing on the cake of a campaign that captivated hundreds of thousands of people across British Columbia, especially when you take the many crescendos of 1979 into account.
The team was attracting crowds in excess of 30,000 people for home matches at Empire Stadium, with games also being shown live on television.
Willie Johnston even took a sip of beer offered to him by a fan before taking a corner at San Jose Earthquakes. Of course, the ensuing kick ended up in the back of the net – perhaps a sign the Scotsman knew 'Caps were on their way to lifting the trophy at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Vancouver clinched the Western Division that year, finishing 10 points ahead of legendary Dutchman Johan Cruyff's Los Angeles Aztecs.
It would not be the last time Tony Waiters' troops would get the better of NASL MVP Cruyff that season, with the 'Caps eliminating the Aztecs in a gripping conference semifinal.
Then only a week later, arguably the best game of the NASL's 17 years of existence took place when Vancouver travelled to East Rutherford in New Jersey to take on the glamorous New York Cosmos – winners of the past two titles.
ABC in the United States broadcasted the matches, and it was during that nail-biting series with Franz Beckenbauer and his Cosmos when veteran sportscaster Jim McKay famously remarked to his audience: "Vancouver must be like the deserted village right now."
To the chagrin of the demanding Cosmos faithful, the 'Caps stunned North America by knocking out New York after four-and-a-half hours over two legs, extra time, mini games, and penalty kicks.
Looking back, Lenarduzzi admitted he was worried the team would have been solely content with ousting the feared Cosmos, considering many thought New York were unbeatable.
"We were the focus of attention at that time and the concern that I think was running through our squad, and it was probably a good thing that it was, was that we had beaten the Cosmos on national television, they were the favourites and we'd beaten them in their backyard," he said.
"And the danger might have been that we would have felt that we'd achieved what we needed to when in actualit,y if we'd not gone and won the championship, it would not have mattered.
"So I thought our coaching staff and players did a very good job of celebrating the New York victory, but realizing that it would all be for naught if in fact we didn't get the result against Tampa.
"But we went out and it was a very workmanlike performance that ultimately won us the title."
On September 8, back at Giants Stadium in front of more than 50,000 people, the 'Caps took care of business against Tampa Bay thanks to goals either side of halftime from Englishman Trevor Whymark.
Sandwiched in between those efforts was an equalizer from Tampa's burly – and mustachioed – Dutch forward Jan van der Veen.
Lenarduzzi said the team responded well after the Rowdies drew level.
"It came against the run of the play, we scored then the game had a bit of a lull and the goal came. It was a sloppy goal, we probably should have cleared it, and it was a challenge on the edge of the box and the ball fell to van der Veen," he recalled.
"He took it well, but we answered fairly quickly in the second half, which was good because had the game gone on 1-1 late and and towards the 90-minute mark, then I'm sure there would have been some anxious moments, which there was regardless, but we did have the lead and they were chasing that.
"That workmanlike display kind of exemplified our team. We didn't have any real superstars and we were a bunch of guys that all knew that we were reliant on one another."
Upon Vancouver's return home, an unprecedented 100,000 fans headed into downtown for the parade to celebrate Whitecaps FC's historic moment.
The team's induction into the BC Sports Hall of Fame a few years later polished off the perfect script.
"We were pretty much the talk of the town at that time and the fact that we had 100,000 people in downtown Vancouver to celebrate our win illustrates how big a deal it was," Lenarduzzi acknowledged.
"Most people look back on that time with fond memories of the 'Caps, so that's why it's nice now to have what I'm referencing as a renaissance of the sport in this province and this time around, there's sustainability which unfortunately there wasn't the last time around.
"So I think Whitecaps FC are here to stay, and the milestones will be probably 40 years and 45 years and 50 years, and hopefully, I'm around to talk about it still."

We have a fundamental obsession with the idea that aliens exist. In all probability they do - but we've got no actual idea what they might look like, sound like, think like or smell like. And if there's one thing the human mind does when it's not sure about something - it's create an identity from scratch. And that's what some of our most prolific directors and writers have done with some of the most beloved science fiction series in pop culture.
The result is a near infinite library of alien species that could very well be more extravagant than anything nature can produce. This library of characters has created endless hours of entertainment for readers and viewers. Let us take you on a scenic trip through a sci-fi museum as we investigate the coolest aliens found across all disciplines and mediums of pop culture science fiction.
The Cybermen (Doctor Who)
"You have been upgraded." - Cybermen Adage
Anyone who has watched Doctor Who recently should be terribly afraid of those four words. Not necessarily because it means new problems with the newest Windows 8.1 patch, but because it means you've been assimilated into the ranks of the Cybermen, a classic Doc Who enemy.
The Cybermen were once organic sentients living on the planet Mondas. As their technological progress grew, they began to augment themselves with cybernetics, slowly transforming their entire individualistic race into a technological collective, hell bent on integrating all intelligent species in the universe, to increase their knowledge.
Time after time, the Cybermen have been single-handedly thwarted by the Doctor and his compatriots, but it never fails to make for a suspenseful and thrilling episode nonetheless.
