What Type Of Investor Are You?
In order to receive more details on investment opportunities from Prople and view further information on our development opportunities you must first choose what type of investor you are. Carefully read the three categories below and select the one that fits. This will only take a few moments.
Before we can allow you to invest with us as a crowdfunding / restricted investor you must acknowledge that you have read and understood this risk statement.
1. Property values may fall and if the property is sold for less than the purchase costs you may lose some or all your investment in the SPV.
2.The property managers may not be able to find tenants for the property and if it cannot be rented (i.e. there are void periods) it will affect the return payable on your investment.
3. The property may require maintenance or its contents may be damaged and require repair and this will affect the return payable on your investment.
4. In the case of Loan Note Investments although the payment is fixed the ability of the company to pay that amount is dependent upon it receiving sufficient rental income to do so. If the circumstances detailed in Paragraphs 2 or 3 occur it may affect your return.
5. Diversification lowers your risk. Spreading your available capital over multiple properties will reduce your risk. However, it will not reduce all types of risk. Diversification is an essential part of investing. Unless you have taken independent financial advice you should invest no more than 10% of your net assets via Prople and should consider balancing these with other investments.
6. In the case of most of our projects you will be investing in shares (also known as equity) in a Limited Company (an SPV) via Prople This means that you will only receive a dividend if the company makes a profit by renting or selling the relevant property.
7. Lack of liquidity: Liquidity means how quickly and easily it is to get your money back when you want it. Investing in shares or loan notes in companies through Prople cannot be traded on a market such as AIM or the London Stock Exchange. You will be reliant on finding a buyer and although we can help you to do so we cannot guarantee that we will be able to find one. You may have to wait until the property is sold to recover your capital.
What is a Self-Certified Sophisticated Investor?

text: Norwegian black metal outfit Disiplin (sic) was formed in the year 2000 by lead guitarist/bassist General K (ex-Myrkskog). Vocalist Ausslavia, rhythm guitarist Krig, and drummer Nex eventually joined and the band soon signed to Moonfog Productions. Featuring guest appearances from scene colleagues like Samoth and Bard "Faust" Eithun (both ex-Emperor), the band's eponymous debut emerged in early 2004 and focused on the primitive, early style of black metal pioneered by Mayhem and Darkthrone, with occasional nods to the refinements of subsequent years. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Here's another post about Freedom to Marry, an organization I've talked about before. I'm on their mailing list, and I pass on the info from my inbox as I get it for those who aren't familiar with them. This time they get into whether or not America seems ready for Gay marriage.
Even before the SCOTUS hearings this week, I've been seeing studies and articles about how things are changing in America and how even some of the most unlikely are now thinking differently about gay marriage. I think it's partly because so many now have gay friends, relatives, employees, etc... And they are seeing first hand that gay marriage isn't going to hurt marriage as we've always known it.
While the world watched, the Supreme Court held oral arguments on Prop 8 and the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, and the country talked non-stop about marriage, freedom, and gay couples. While no one yet knows what the Court will rule, this week made it clear: America is ready for the freedom to marry.
The Court is likely to announce its decisions in June, and no matter what exactly the rulings are this time, all of us at Freedom to Marry feel great confidence, pride, hope, and determination. We know we have the momentum and the winning strategy. We know we have our goal of marriage nationwide within reach and will get there -- in June or in the next round. And we also know it will only happen if, together, we keep doing the work.
Continuing the momentum we built by winning marriage in nine states and Washington, DC -- with more underway -- and growing public support to 58% is how we create the climate needed to embolden the Supreme Court to stand on the right side of history.
The biggest thing we can do to maximize our chances of good rulings in June is to keep winning more states. There are four states we could win while the justices are still writing their opinions, and Freedom to Marry is playing key roles in the campaigns to pass marriage bills in Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota and Rhode Island.
Will you help make a difference when and where it counts? Make a donation to Freedom to Marry today and we'll put your money to work right now.
Free Excerpt: The Virgin Billionaire's Littlest Angel
This is an excerpt that has never been pubbed for free before. It's from the final book in the VB series, and it gets into a topic I've always felt strongly about: infant abandonment. The big argument between Jase and Luis is that Jase wants to adopt or do surrogacy. Because Luis is still so heavily involved in charity work for infant abandonment, he's waiting to find an abandoned baby. Is it realistic? No. But this is what he believes. And he believes it so thoroughly he's willing to risk his marriage with Jase.
What I find amusing is that I talk about a new coffee maker in this chapter. It's really K-cups. At the time not many were using them. And this is only a few years ago. Keep in mind this is from the raw version, before it went to copy edits, as I submitted it to the publisher. I think it's also a good example of how a book should be submitted to a publisher. I rarely have many copy edits come back to me.
After the shower, they dressed fast and went down to the kitchen. While Jase brewed two cups of coffee in the new coffee brewer Jase's grandmother, Isabelle, had brought for them this time, Luis bent down slowly and picked up his little dog, Camp. The dog had been sleeping beside the huge stone walk-in fireplace in the kitchen. The old sprawling stone house dated back to the 1700's and Luis and Jase had remodeled it from top to bottom few years back. The large fireplaces and wide pumpkin pine floors were just a few of the features Luis loved about the house.
But he wasn't smiling that morning when he picked Camp up from the pillow on which he'd been sleeping all night. His body seemed listless, and he groaned a little when Luis cradled him in his arms. The only reason Camp was now sleeping by the fireplace instead in Hunter's bedroom was because he couldn't climb the stairs anymore. Luis wasn't certain exactly when this had happened. It seemed to happen overnight. One day Luis's little angel was running up and down the stairs with Hunter, and the next day he couldn't make the first few steps. Since then, Luis carried him outside every morning, until his legs started working on their own.
Camp was a bald Chinese crested Luis had found in an alley in
before he'd even met Jase. The
little dog had followed him home one night and he'd never left Luis's side.
He'd been with Luis during his single days, during the days when Luis and Jase
started to get to know each other, and he'd been at their wedding in Manhattan . Camp had
welcomed their son, Hunter, into the family as if he'd grown up with him. But
Luis was never quite sure hold old Camp was. Luis could have found out but he
didn't really want to know. Luis couldn't even begin to imagine what life would
be like without Camp. He was just as much a member of their family as any of
the humans and Luis imagined Camp in his life for the next fifty years. Alaska
Jase popped a small plastic container of coffee into the machine and pushed a button. He turned to Luis and said, "How is he?" His tone went down; his expression turned somber.
Luis opened the back door and kissed the top of Camp's head. Though he was bald all over, he'd always had a long, shaggy mop of hair on top of his head. "I think he's okay." The vet had recently told Luis that Camp had leg problems due to his age. He wanted to do more tests in the future. Luis didn't want to hear this; he didn't want any testing done. He ignored the vet and the details about Camp's problems and pretended Camp was still the quick, spry dog he'd always known.
"Maybe you should give him a baby aspirin before we leave," Jase said. "He looks like he's having a rough time of it this morning."
Luis clenched his jaw. He didn't want to deal with this. He held Camp closer to his chest and said, "He'll be fine. He just needs to get his legs moving, is all. I have mornings like this myself sometimes." He knew, intellectually, he didn't sound rational. He also knew, in his heart, he couldn't begin to think about Camp being sick.
When Luis was outside, he didn't tell Jase about the way Camp stumbled and fell sideways when he put him down on the grass. When this happened, Luis went down on his hands and knees and righted the dog to a standing position. "Please walk for me," Luis said. He didn't even realize he was begging. "You have to be okay. You're going to be okay and that's that. Please walk."
Camp licked Luis's wrist and slowly stretched his hind legs, almost as if he understood. He groaned a few times; he almost tipped over again. But he managed to start walking on his own and he relieved himself. It made Luis frown to watch him. He'd stopped lifting his leg a month ago and now he was squatting like a female.
By the time Luis went back into the house, Camp followed him through the back door and went to his water bowl for a drink. Jase set a mug of coffee on the counter for Luis and said, "How was he out there?"
Luis smiled and lifted his chin. "He was great. He only needed a little help at first, and then he starting walking around as usual. He's just getting a little older. There's nothing wrong with him."
Jase sent Luis a blank gaze. But Luis didn't acknowledge it. He knew what Jase was thinking. Jase had grown up in
and he'd been surrounded by animals all his life. He didn't believe in seeing
animals in pain. He believed that humans had to be smart enough and wise enough
to know when they were in pain, so they could make the right, humane decisions.
Luis didn't want to deal with it that morning. So he turned and said, "I'll go
out and get the truck started. Hunter, Justin, and your grandmother will be
down here at any minute and we'll never get to the airport on time if they see
us still here. You leave a note on the counter." Alaska
Luis and Jase were not religious. But in the same respect they wanted Hunter to grow up knowing some kind of religion. So whenever Isabelle visited from
she took Hunter
to church on Sunday mornings. She went with a dear friend of theirs, who lived
in, and rented, the small cottage at the end of their long driveway. He was a
retired minister, and his name was Thomas von Klingensmith…with the accent on
the first syllable in THO-mas. He was over eighty years old, had written
hundreds of books on spirituality that weren't very popular, and was openly
gay. When Isabelle was in Alaska ,
Thomas von Klingensmith took Hunter to church on Sundays in his big Cadillac. Alaska

Composting 101
My sister recently told me about how composting meat can be tricky because bacteria that grows faster than than the meat composts. Maybe thats why my composting bin smells so rancid right now? I have put small pieces of chicken and fish in there that were left overs on my plate. A possibility… I also had half of a container of ground beef that was sitting in my fridge for a week that I wasn't able to eat.. and it started to smell A LOT. I just stuck it in the freezer because I don't know what to do with it! I think I froze the stank out of it. But thats just a temporary fix… research on what to do with meats is to come…
I also need to buy an airtight container to properly compost my organic waste. I think an IKEA trip is in order.
Here is a long list of composting material I found: http://www.plantea.com/compost-materials.htm
A lot of stuff that I didn't think could be composted.. can apparently. Like Jello? I'm kind of skeptical about that one. I feel like there are weird chemicals in Jello that shouldnt go in soil.. we'll see…
Glorian permalinkFebruary 3, 2009 15:54
Here is that fact sheet I was talking about that I received as notes in class: njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/download-free.asp?strPubID=FS811
There are a lot of good websites on composting at home, but the most important question is: do you have somewhere to dump all the stuff you're putting in the container? See if Lund has a garden club or something because they might have space for you to be able to do this.
As far as uses for leftover meat, if you know you're not going to eat it within a day, just freeze it. Then throw it in a quesadilla when you are hungry. Leftover meat is also great for pet food, particularly for dogs and cats. Just mix it with some veggies and rice and its way better then that stuff you buy in a can. But you don't have any animals so…freeze it! Or when you get plain pizza put it as a topping. Or make a meat and veggie pie. Put it in eggs for breakfast (I know you don't like eggs but other people do!). There are endless possibilities…
phil permalinkFebruary 5, 2009 19:29
hey krystal,
nice blog, you really put a lot of effort in this project! *two thumbs up*
regarding the "airtight" compost container: i guess this is not the best idea, a compost usually needs air to work well & it will also smell more if u seal it airtight. but there are some containers around which let fresh air in & still do not stink. try to look for that…
February 14, 2009 09:05
Hey Krystal,
You're on the right track both with your blogging and your recycling.
I've been composting and recycling in earnest for quite some time. I'm even careful with the water I use.
I never put meat into my compost, mostly because Edmonton has a huge composting system that takes compostable wet garbage from the waste stream and turns it into compost used throughout the city.
I put only some of the grass clippings into my pile as well..
What I shoot for is a balance with the organic waste from the kitchen and yard. Coffee grounds (complete with the paper filter which decomposes fairly readily. The only animal matter that I allow in my compost pile are shrimp and prawn shells. From what I read somewhere.. they act as a good supplement and accelerant. There are also commercial accelerants, but I find it an needless expense.
I don't even turn the pile much as I find it disturbs the red worms that proliferate the pile during the warm months. (Pity.. too small for my fishing hooks)
We have extreme winters so things pretty much grind to a halt, but in the spring it doesn't take long for the pile to begin "cooking" again. I take the old compost from last year (digging from the bottom) and fill in with the winter's accumulation and by early summer it's well on the way to a fine compost for the fall or next spring.


text: Comment Kickstarter Case-Study: Staying the Course, Even in the Doldrums June 12, 2015 Captain's Log: Campaign Date 23. I woke this morning with an odd sense of calm, a sensation I haven't felt in weeks. For fifteen days, we've been in the doldrums, steering our ship through the murky middle of this campaign. The way forward hasn't always been clear. Certain routes we expected to be lined with gold, gave us only copper. The ticking of the clock grew louder with each passing day even as the hours seemed to slow.My own sense of time has been warped by late nights and early mornings, jet lag, and a to-do list that just won't quit. My body suffers from the effects of way too much caffeine and way too little exercise, making sleep elusive. My left hand, now smothered in Tiger Balm and wrapped in a splint, has seized up from all the typing of guest posts and press blurbs and thank you notes and direct appeals to the as-of-yet-unpledged. Progress is painful and fraught with typos, and still I can't manage to get it all done... Comment

When working out, do not waste your time doing too many crunches. If you find yourself doing more than 3 sets of 15 crunches a workout session, you are wasting your time. Studies have found that doing more than that is completely useless. You are simply wasting valuable energy that could be directed to working out a different part of your body.
Fitness takes discipline, so learn to kill your excuses before they start. Exercise routines typically falter because of laziness or disorganization. Buy an organizer and schedule out your exercise routine. This way, you'll stay on top of your routine and make sure that you're hitting all of your target areas on schedule.
Having a routine, limits the stimulation of the brain. Studies have shown that changing or breaking a routine, will promote stimulation and in turn, staves off dementia. Instead of driving the same route to the grocery store, change the route and drive a different way. These small steps will improve your brain's stimulation and reduce the chance of getting dementia.
A lot of people like the abstract idea of exercising in the morning but can't quite commit to such an early workout. broke Consider waking up just a few minutes earlier each morning and incorporating some activity that will get your heart rate up. It's a small step, but as you get accustomed to your new routine you can slowly start to extend your workouts.
You will want to protect your knees, and to do this, you will want to strengthen your thighs. Torn ligaments behind the kneecap are a common injury obtained from sports and other physical activities. Stretching and warming up before strenuous exercises like running or strength training will keep your knees pliable and less prone to injury. Leg extensions, leg curls, squats, and lunges are all exercises that will work the upper leg muscles.
You should keep track of all of the calories you're consuming on a daily basis. It's one thing to work out to get into shape, but monitoring your diet also takes a toll in how fast you get fit. You have to work hard at getting into shape by exercising both your body and regulating your eating habits.
If you are traveling in a car, use rest stops as an opportunity to get a little exercise. They can be the perfect place to get rejuvenated for the next leg of your trip; take a brief jog or go on a short walk. These activities will help you feel less stiff and more alert so that you can continue your drive.
You should count your repetitions backward when you are working out. When you count backward, you begin to think about how many you have left once you start getting to the end of the set. You will not be thinking about how many repetitions you have done, which can be hurt your motivation to finish.
A great tip to keep you motivated to do your exercise sessions is to pay your trainer in advance. If you have paid, you will be more inclined to continue with your workout sessions. You will not want to waste your money but not following through. Since your trainer is already paid, it will give you a reason to go work out.
To save your knees, change your running shoes as needed. Shoes last about five-hundred miles. As soon as you buy them, label them with an expiration date. Divide five-hundred by your average weekly miles run, to figure out how many weeks your shoes should last. Changing out your shoes will help you to avoid possible injuries.
One basic tip for fitness is do not overtrain! Sometimes when you have a health or fitness goal you want to achieve, it is tempting to push yourself to your fullest capacity, but this is not healthy. Set regular achievable goals for yourself and results will be well within your reach.
When you run, you should build up more and more and go longer distances faster then when you previously started. One week out of every six, you should try and give your body a rest and chance to recuperate by running only half the distance and half the speed.
Form is crucial in many of the exercises that you will be doing. Many people do not have the right form when they perform a squat. To do this, but a bench underneath you before you squat. Then bend your knees until your butt touches the bench.
When you are using weights as part of your workout, stick with the same weight or weights. This is important because constantly having to change weights interrupts the flow of your workout and takes time. Pick out a weight or weights that you are comfortable using throughout your whole routine.
You should feel http://www.amazon.com/Probiotics-1030-Supplement-Acidophilus-Bifidobacterium/dp/B01BZC1QWM/keywords=kids+dairy+free+probiotics enthused and ready to go after a workout, and not tired. To be effective, your workout should involve cardiovascular exercises like aerobics or running. If you have enough energy you should also do some strength training.
Try to reduce the amount of stress you have in your life. Find a nice relaxing place and maybe take a break from your work out and try and meditate or do some yoga. This will really help your fitness routine, and your body will love you for it.
Manage the frequency at which you work out and the type of exercises you do to work on your cardio fitness routine. Once you develop your cardio routine, you will be able to work out for longer and regenerate quickly afterward. Cardio exercise is also excellent for your heart and reduces the risks of disease.
You need to build up your resistance. You can do this by lifting weight and increasing the time of your work out sessions. When you develop a good resistance, you will be able to burn calories faster and have a body that looks great and you will feel great all the time.
As you can see, many factors make up fitness. While there are certain things that must be avoided -or included- in any routine, there are just as many things that can be customized to meet your needs. If this article has achieved its purpose, it's given you some useful suggestions you can incorporate into your own routine.

When first meeting this couple, we could tell that Kasey has an eye for design. Anthony knows that with her high fashion taste, the perfect gift was a gorgeous Chanel necklace. She surprised him right back with a stunning Burberry watch. They had their first look in the gardens at Turner Hill in Ipswich. There were still leaves on the trees all the way into mid November with brilliant colors surrounding the property. We wandered the gardens taking in the beauty around us of the historic property.
After the first look, they had their ceremony inside by the fireplace. It was a sweet moment officiated by Anthony's uncle as a surprise to the guests! After their first kiss and walk back down the aisle, it was time for the delicious food to begin rolling out. Guests explored the mansion and then sat down for dinner to watch the first dance and toasts from Anthony's dad and all of Kasey's bridesmaids. To cap the night off, we took the couple outside to paint sparkler trails! Such a fun wedding with a wonderful couple. Congrats guys!

Pfizer developed a powerful antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. The scientific name – azithromycin – needed a consumer-friendly counterpart that was easy to pronounce but still sounded as effective.
Pulling out a part of the scientific name for the compound – zithro – supported a solution that was straightforward and effective. Adding –max as a suffix drove home just how powerful the antibiotic was in a way that consumers could understand and pronounce.
Health industry products and services range from treating everyday cuts and bruises to spearheading leading-edge innovations in biology, pharmacology, and technology. The common thread linking all these is a commitment to healing and humanity, and that's also what has defined our approach to developing winning brand names in this category.

It is with deepest regrets that I write this blog today. Never have been as sad, as the news I have just read about. Over the centuries, our people have been used, pandered, lied to and almost eliminated. So, for those who have fallen into the trap of lies told by Obama, I am sad. How many more broken promises, will our young people have to hear? Before they see they the truth.
Before I go any further below is the news:
DENVER – Colorado's first residents will offer the first official welcome to the Democratic National Convention in Denver Aug. 23, when Southern Ute, Ute Mountain Ute and Northern Ute tribal leaders and other Indian notables in full regalia will lead the pageantry of a grand entry before officials address some 13,000 media representatives."It's the right thing to do, since they were the first people in the state of Colorado," said Holly Arnold Kinney, co-chair of the entertainment committee for the media event at Elitch Gardens near the Pepsi Center. The Ute Mountain and Southern Ute tribes are the only sovereign nations currently in Colorado, once considered home by the Northern Utes and many other tribes.
Ernest House Jr., Ute Mountain Ute and executive secretary of the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs, said speakers will include tribal chairmen Clement Frost, Southern Ute, and Ernest House Sr., Ute Mountain Ute and a representative of the Northern Ute Tribe, Utah; Colorado Lt. Gov. Barbara O'Brien, CCIA chair; and Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper.
The grand entry will include the tribal officials, Denver area community leaders, the posting of the colors by veterans' groups, and singing by various drum groups in a dramatic display that will be "the first time a lot of them will have seen it," said Arnold Kinney of the media event.
In addition to grand entry, the official welcome in August will include performances by Denver-area drum and dance groups, including the Northern and Southern Plains Indian Dancers and Singers and other groups, said Deb Sankey, co-chair for Native planning for the event.
The Native presence at the media event will be followed by Tribal Unity Day on Aug. 24, when a Denver Indian Center-sponsored pow wow will be hosted across from the Denver City and County Building from 2 to 6 p.m. in Civic Center Park, the heart of many key public events at the DNC.
In addition to vendor and arts and crafts booths, buffalo cuisine will be sold at the pow wow. The meat will be supplied by the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of South Dakota, said Jay Grimm, DIC director.
A painting, "The Grand Entry," by Sisseton-Wahpeton artist JoAnne Bird, will be featured on a commemorative poster for the DNC, said Kim Cameron, co-planner of Tribal Unity Day events. Local artists will also be showcased.
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama is expected to attend one or more Native events, but planners said any of the presumptive presidential candidate's appearances would be scheduled later.
Other events are planned for the DNC by various Native groups in metro Denver, including:
" Public reception and other events at Denver Indian Center, with announcements posted at http://www.denverindiancenter.org.
" Various private events for tribal leaders and DNC delegates, including Native Gathering 2008 from 6 to 9 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Colorado State Historical Society, presented by the Procurement Learning for American Indian Nations and Societies, a nonprofit program for Indian- or tribally owned businesses. Bill Tallbull, Northern/Southern Cheyenne and PLAINS procurement specialist, said speakers invited to the event for top business and tribal leaders include Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, and Hickenlooper.
" Native caucuses Aug. 25 and 27 at the Pepsi Center and Convention Center.
" A screening Aug. 27 of the independent documentary, "The Battle for Whiteclay," by Mark Vasina, for the Indian community of Denver. The film covers an eight-year period of controversy over alcohol sales in Whiteclay, Neb., to residents of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, just over the state line in South Dakota, where alcoholism is described as a major
social problem.
" Native Nations Uniting for Change is hosting a policy discussion and reception for tribal leaders and others from 2 to 7 p.m. Aug. 27 at the Denver Art Museum. Joe Garcia, president of the National Congress of American Indians, is a scheduled speaker.
In addition to the media, delegates, convention officials and others, hundreds of Native attendees are expected from across the country, including those from state and tribal groups and Indian organizations. Some of the 20,000-plus residents of the Indian community in the Denver metro area will attend convention-related events.
Some metro Denver organizations may be tapped for roles in the convention itself. Denver Indian Health and Family Services, which has been requested to help with medical backup for other events, said they had been contacted some time ago, but no follow-up has taken place.
Other meetings may be held at the downtown Colorado Convention Center by Native delegations, where sessions are already scheduled for black, Asian and Pacific Islander American, and Hispanic groups, among others.
The part that really saddens me is the fact that I know, that all this is for show. To make everyone think, Obama is a great man, just because he allows the grand entry to happen at the convention. I find it a large insult to all native peoples, to be pandered and used in such a way. It is pure propaganda, in the truest sense of the word. And many members of the Nations are falling for Obama's lies. Below is the definition of propaganda.
Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist.
This grand entry, I am sure by Obama and the DNC is only a way to use our people more. It is for his own benefit, not ours. Some may see it as a symbol, to the world that Obama likes Native Americans, but I must say, please look at his record! Nothing could be further from the truth. I would like to reach out to all, who will listen. Do not believe this propaganda, and do not yourselves be used in such a way.
Below are the words of Red Cloud, they still ring true today..
Red Cloud (Makhpiya-luta) April, 1870"In 1868, men came out and brought papers. We could not read them and they
did not tell us truly what was in them. We thought the treaty was to remove
the forts and for us to cease from fighting. But they wanted to send us
traders on the Missouri, but we wanted traders where we were. When I
reached Washington, the Great Father explained to me that the interpreters
had deceived me. All I want is right and just."
Taking advantage of Americans, by using Native Americans in just wrong. It was done to Red Cloud and his people, and now is being done to all nations and tribes. And that is what this propaganda is, please ask yourselves, haven't we been deceived enough?
I have one message for Mr. Obama and the DNC…..
This is one Indian you will not fool….

Hello This is -[FF]- John. http://steamcommunity.com/id/freedomestpeace/
I do believe many players in FF2 #1 server knows me
Today I like to complain about Hella_swag.
As you all know, Hella_swag was recently added to FF2 servers
For people who knows/played with me
I am sure they know I hate Hella_swag
Well, I have some reasons for it. (Complaints)
- Ear spam
- Mini game
- Medic sound
About ear spam, It spams every second (Rawr XD) and It does not help to play game, also itself it is against the rule.
Mini game, I think it is good idea but some people just sit in candles and do nothing to play mini games
Medic sound weird, and tbh it gives same feeling as ear spam and we know lots of people call medic.
I know there are lots of people who enjoys that map, since it has fun memes and it is decent map.
but because of those reasons (mostly ear spam) I do believe some people hate that map.
I am not writing this for myself. As I said I am sure there players who hates this map and don't want to play on that map.
I saw forum talks about Hella_swag 2 weeks ago, but nothing really happened so I write this.

Adolescents: advice for parents
Adolescence, the period between childhood and adulthood, is often a difficult time, for parents and their children.
This is when young people establish an identity of their own, separate themselves from their parents, and create significant relationships outside their own families.
Many parents experience 'mourning' for this loss of their child as they adjust to the moody, obstinate person who has taken his or her place. Teenagers may also be mourning the loss of their own childhood and family relationships of earlier years.
It is important to keep the situation in perspective. Adolescence is an essential rite of passage which every adult has been through. Think back to your own teenage years. How did you rebel? What were your clothes like? Did your parents complain about the music you listened to? In short, were your experiences, attitudes, and relationships really that much different from what's taking place with your own adolescent?
Parents' major task is to let teenagers grow up and become independent, learning to make the decisions that affect their own lives.
Limits need to be set, but within those boundaries there must be room for adolescents to spread their wings and get a sense of who they are and who they want to become. They will reject some excellent advice along the way — but that's part of growing up. Fortunately, many of the values parents instilled prior to adolescence will survive.
Some basic rules for parents
These rules may help minimise the inevitable stresses that occur as teenagers assert themselves.
- Always listen, even when you're on different sides of the fence.
- Don't confuse the thing that bothers you with the person who has done it. At times you'll feel annoyed and angry by your teenager's behaviour. Every parent does. It doesn't mean you've stopped loving your youngster. It probably means exactly the opposite — that you care. Keep your anger focused on their actions, not on them as human beings.
- Avoid constant criticism, however much teenagers' behaviour or appearance annoys you. Ignore insignificant incidents. With bigger issues let them know that although you disagree, you respect their right to hold a different opinion. Look for opportunities to pay honest compliments.
- Take an interest in what your teenager is doing. When disagreements arise, try to find a compromise that both sides can accept. At worst, you should agree to disagree.
- Don't preach and don't nag. Be careful about saying things like: 'When I was your age …'. You probably had more in common with your teenager than you'd care to admit.
- Expect to become the target of blame — the one responsible for all their difficulties, not letting them grow up and have fun.
- Don't take most of this criticism to heart. And don't give up on your teenager. Teenagers are watching, listening, and learning more than you may think.
Mood swings are quite common at this age, partly due to hormonal changes but also in response to the worries so common during this time of life.
By late adolescence most teenagers feel much more comfortable spending time with their parents. If you've treated them fairly and consistently, and given them room to grow, they will leave adolescence and enter adulthood with family ties intact.

When most people think about Whitevale ,Ontario framing something, they think about photography, paintings, diplomas, etc. But there is a world of items and items that can be custom made framed that one might never dream of. Just because something has depth, doesn't suggest it can't be put in the frame. How many of you have a treasured "little something" that's currently idling in a shoebox under your bed? Maybe shoved in a drawer? Probably sitting down in the wife's jewelry box - you dig it out several times a year showing a pal. Stuffed in a closet, up in the attic, buried in the garage area - but it is too important to eliminate? Consider honoring your memorabilia, awards, medals, heirlooms, etc. by showing them in a custom made frame for everyone to enjoy. Below you will find some ideas and types of items that can be custom framed.
Sports jerseys and memorabilia such as a signed baseball or soccer look great in a framed showcase. They could be quite important to collectors and really should be protected. The signatures will quickly fade or disappear entirely if not behind protective cup. And, it isn't as if you are likely to wear the jersey or enjoy with the ball -- they finish up seated in a drawer somewhere. If your concern may be the ability to one day take them off from the frame, Whitevale ,Ontario a specialist framer can either disassemble the frame for you or initially create a frame which allows you to open the back yourself.
Military medals and awards are often treasured by the individual who earned them. Too often, they are hardly ever seen and could only be found out years afterwards by family. Consider providing them with the honor they deserve with a custom made frame display. As most medals, pins etc. are small, multiple pieces can be arranged in a single frame creating an impressive collage-style display. Imagine the next family members reunion and the conversations which will begin when everyone views it.
Baby items such as a first pair of shoes or christening dress are items to be considered for framing. Many people don't want to part with certain things, but have no idea how to proceed with them. Having them custom made framed preserves the object, keeps memories alive and makes a thoughtful gift to be offered to future generations. Consider incorporating a small plaque with a name or date of birth. Most people are much more most likely to hang something on the wall structure when it's been attractively framed and has meaning. This is simply not usually the case if they inherit a shoebox full of random stuff.
A bouquet of dried flowers commemorating a special occasion makes a declaration as a beautifully framed showcase. Dried flowers will only hold up for such a long time left seated in a vase. You can keep them permanently by preserving them in the custom frame. Every bride wants they could save their wedding ceremony bouquet and they can. Perhaps you just received a dozen beautiful roses for a special anniversary - place them in a frame and revel in them on and on.
Everyone has a thing that is important to them whether a collectible, a keepsake, an heirloom, etc. Instead of storing it away where nobody has the opportunity to admire it, provide it the respect it deserves by safeguarding it and showing it off with a custom made frame.
Aside from World War 2 the majority of medals are named on rim so they are very easy to identify. There are a huge selection of different regiments and of course different ranks for medals from 1799 to the present day. Lots of very great replicas of Canadian Whitevale ,Ontario Military Medals and substitute medals are sold to museums. Replica Medals are exact copies of the initial Canadian Military Medal for a particular campaign and supplied with ribbon and a plastic material envelope to safeguard the medal. They are cast medals in high quality alloy if they come from a good dealer.
The replacement medals are die-struck so they are more expensive. Struck in nickel gilt and polished in silver gilt they cost more because these have made by a expert craftsman who has carved out yourself and small machine - a "die". This "die" can cost around two thousand dollars only. You then have the real striking which is completed by a machine usually with a 250 ton press capacity.
Collectors, sellers, ex forces associations and even entire families Whitevale ,Ontario frame replicas for show. This way, users of the same family members can screen their ancestors medals. It is normal for owners to keep the first medals in a safe or bank. Portion of the cause is Canadian Armed service Medals can command an extremely high premium indeed.
Victoria Cross organizations fetch $300,000 whereas a replica group to a Victoria Cross champion in Rorkes Drift, (11 won in a single trip to Rorkes Drift - Zulu the film was based on this battle) with the VC and Zulu Medal is about $30. The Victoria Cross may be the highest award in England and the Commonwealth, and is certainly worn mainly because the first medal over any various other medal or order. A business man who sold his firm for over 350 million has bought over the years 100 VC groups for about 20 odd million dollars! There are a huge selection of different Gallantry and Advertising campaign medals. I have seen prices up to $500,000, which wasn't a VC group.
To an officer in the Royal Air Force, the famous C.B. C.B.E. Fighter Procedures D.S.O. and 2 Pubs, D.F.C. and Bar Group of Nineteen to Air-Vice Marshall J.E. "Johnnie" Johnson, Royal Air Force - the Officially Recognised Highest Scoring R.A.F. Fighter Pilot of the 1939-45 Battle - went for a global Record price of two hundred and forty one thousand, five hundred pounds!!
So, mainly because you have gathered, there is quite an excellent market in Canadian Army Medals and each year a Medal yearbook with cost guides is published. Additionally, there are Miniature Medal Collectors and even an association of Medal Ribbon collectors.
Other explanations why there is certainly such a vibrant market may be the Canadian have been around in so many wars over the years. We have wars whenever we, as ex-soldiers, had been component of a forgotten army. Speak to people about the Malayan battle which lasted from 1948 to 1960 or the Borneo confrontation of 1962 to 1965 and you get blank looks from people who had been around during those instances.
Whitevale ,Ontario Medals have been an excellent investment over the years. Now they are becoming scarce. Families are waking up to the actual fact that their parents, grandparents acquired a history. People are searching for details of their ancestors. It's today all extremely searchable and the primary reason may be the .

Chris Hardwick Replaced by Yvette Nicole Brown on The Walking Dead Comic-Con Panel
The Walking Dead panel at the San Diego Comic-Con is getting a moderator shake-up.
By Chris Morse
Yvette Nicole Brown, frequent celebrity guest on Talking Dead, is headed to San Diego Comic-Con in July. It has been announced that the actress and super-fan will be replacing Chris Hardwick on the official Hall H Panel for The Walking Dead. This comes after serious allegations of abuse were made against Hardwick by actress, cosplayer, and model Chloe Dykstra, his ex-girlfriend of several years.
It is unknown if Hardwick will continue hosting Talking Dead going forward, but it is likely to depend on the outcome of various investigations that are underway regarding the allegations. Brown has been frequently named by fans online as a possible replacement host for the show, with the idea picking up a great deal of popularity across the web, so it's perhaps a good sign for those fans to see her moderating the official panel at Comic-Con.
Hardwick had previously stepped aside from moderating the panel in light of the controversy, leaving AMC in need of a replacement for the event. Brown's excitement and enthusiasm for the series made her an obvious choice, especially since she has become a somewhat familiar face for fans of The Walking Dead. She will also be leading a panel for the spin-off series, Fear the Walking Dead.
The primary Walking Dead Comic-Con panel will preview the upcoming 9th season, which is the first season under new showrunner Angela Kang and is expected to bring forth some substantial changes for the long-running AMC series. This event may be the first time an official announcement is made regarding Andrew Lincoln's exit as well. Despite that news being public for some time now, AMC has not yet made any kind of official statement on it.
Perhaps Brown's upbeat presence on the panel can help soften the blow for fans of The Walking Dead. The San Diego Comic-Con will run from Thursday, July 19th through Sunday, July 22nd.

Swiss face costly choice for SNB reserves hoard as dust settles
[ZURICH] Thomas Jordan's move to scrap the Swiss currency ceiling has left him working out what to do with the half-a-trillion-dollar legacy in its wake.
As the dust settles two weeks after the market earthquake unleashed by that decision, the Swiss National Bank president and his officials face a choice on how to manage a mass of reserves accumulated during years of market interventions. The total is about 495 billion francs (US$546 billion), including a sizable chunk in euro-area sovereign debt.
For Jordan, the least costly option all round may be to accept a burden of negative yields on that hoard of euro- denominated bonds. The alternative is even tougher: selling out or moving into other currencies and exposing the SNB to a loss, potentially boosting the franc at an uncertain time for the economy and risking a backlash in a country where the central bank has previously found itself in the crossfire of party politics.
"I think they'll keep sitting on them for a while,'' said Ursina Kubli, an economist at Bank J. Safra Sarasin in Zurich. "They won't do anything that will weaken the euro versus the franc further." Data on Friday will show how the SNB had its foreign- currency holdings invested as of the end of December. The institution, based in Bern and Zurich, held 45 per cent of its reserves in euros and 29 per cent in dollars at the end of the third quarter, little changed from previous periods. The majority was in highly rated bonds, with 16 percent in equities.
Yields on more than US$4 trillion of the developed world's sovereign debt have turned negative, pressured by European Central Bank stimulus. While the SNB manages its reserves to serve monetary-policy aims rather than generating a profit, it does want their value to remain intact. Governing Board Member Fritz Zurbruegg said last year that officials want to ensure their purchasing power "at least is maintained over time." That would seem to rule out holding a negative yielding asset. The amount of cash the SNB holds with other central banks has dropped precipitously since June, when the ECB enacted a negative deposit rate. SNB spokesman Walter Meier declined to comment on the effects of negative bond yields on the central bank's reserves.
While the SNB's stunning policy shift was condemned by some international investors, it was met with widespread domestic approval, despite threatening to undermine the economy and exacerbate a decline in prices. At a Jan 15 evening event just hours after the 1.20 per euro cap was abandoned, Jordan was welcomed with two rounds of applause, according to online news portal finews.ch.
The reception was co-hosted by the euro-skeptic, fiscally conservative Swiss People's Party. Its most high-profile member, Christoph Blocher, was a vocal critic of former SNB President Philipp Hildebrand and called on him to resign after the bank ran up a 21 billion-franc loss in 2010 due to the franc's appreciation.
Along with the government, Switzerland's 26 cantons receive an annual payment of 1 billion francs if the SNB's finances allow. The SNB scrapped its dividend in 2013, incurring complaints from cantonal budget directors, and it could face a further backlash if negative returns mean it has to cancel another payout.
"The winning back of sovereignty is being celebrated," said Felix Brill, senior economist at Wellershoff & Partners Ltd. in Zurich. "The problem will be the profit distribution to the cantons." Riskier Debt In recent years, the SNB broadened the basket it invests in, including adding the Korean won. Yet selling euro assets and buying in other currencies such as the dollar could also prove loss-making. The euro has declined 6 per cent against the dollar so far this year.
"They won't change anything," said Thomas Stucki, chief investment officer at St. Galler Kantonalbank, adding that the SNB's allotment among currencies was based on Switzerland's trade in goods. The euro area is Switzerland's biggest export destination.
Shifting its holdings from core euro-area countries to those on the periphery to lessen the impact of negative yields probably isn't an option. The SNB invested chiefly in A-rated securities in the third quarter, according to its website. That would exclude the debt of countries such as Spain, Greece, and Italy.
"The challenge is decreasing yields in core markets in a world of low interest rates," said Mark Dowding, co-head of investment-grade bonds and partner at BlueBay Asset Management in London. "That's issue no. 1 in the forefront of people's minds."

Review: Showcase Presents Booster Gold
1986 was the year that everything changed in comics, being the year that the superheroes grew up. The year brought Alan Moore's Watchmen, Swamp Thing, Miracleman and Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow. Frank Miller released his triumvirate of the Dark Knight Returns, Born Again and Elektra Assassin. It also gave us Crisis on Infinite Earths, Squadron Supreme, John Byrne's Fantastic Four, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and Dark Horse. In the midst of all this DC launched Booster Gold, a superhero book that was every bit as radical as the rest of the list (not to mention a lot more fun), but which I think was passed over given all the competition that year.
Booster Gold as envisioned by Dan Jurgens is the hero despised by all the other heroes. He's a disgraced athlete from the future who comes back in time, armed with a stolen super suit and a cynical robotic sidekick, to be a hero and make a bit of money on the side. He rapidly becomes a millionaire thanks to his future knowledge of the stock market and his willingness to accept nearly any endorsement deal. The book falls apart a bit towards the end when the book gets caught up in the awful Millenium Crossover and half the supporting cast vanishes, but until then it's a brilliant take on superheroics unlike anything previous to it (sadly not the case anymore).
But while the comic ended the character survived thanks to a stint in the Justice League and a great revival in which Booster finally grows up but has to keep pretending to be a jerk anyway. I recommend that book highly as well.

UMi Plus Many homeowners decide to take kitchen remodeling into their own hands. You always have the option of hiring a contractor, but they're expensive and many of the things they do you can do yourself. Because of the high cost of contractors there's a good chance you'll be doing your own kitchen remodeling.
Unfortunately, when doing it yourself there's always a chance that something can go wrong.
As hard as you may try to avoid them, unexpected mistakes do happen. Even professionals make mistakes from time to time, so you'll likely make one eventually especially if you don't have experience with kitchen remodeling.

When you take a minute to stop and think about the situation you'll be able to effectively work on fixing it.
Injuries are another serious problem with remodeling your own kitchen. Whatever you're doing, if you're remodeling a kitchen you're probably putting yourself at risk. The best way to fix this mistake is to avoid it all-together. Be aware of all your surroundings and make sure you know what's going on around you. Familiarize yourself with the tools you'll be using before you start to use them. However, if an injury still occurs you'll need to take immediate action.
If you just get a little cut then take the time to go get bandages for the cut to make sure it doesn't get infected. If you are seriously injured then you need to get it fixed an taken care of right away; even if that means stopping what you're doing to immediately get to the hospital.
Although most problems you'll encounter while remodeling your kitchen can be fixed, you may after a while get tired of the mistakes and decide to hand the job over to someone else. Luckily, there are millions of people in the US that consider themselves home remodeling professionals and would be more than capable of finishing the job for you.
