Nebraska senators back bill to register peddlers, hawkers

- Read 1075 times
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Peddlers and hawkers would have to register with counties before knocking on doors under a bill advanced by Nebraska lawmakers.
Senators voted 32-0 Tuesday on a bill by Sen. John Murante of Gretna that would give counties the authority to create a registry of individuals advertising or promoting businesses by solicitation.
Cities already have the authority to regulate solicitors, but the bill's supporters say residents living outside city or village limits are bombarded with strangers avoiding the registry process.
Murante says the free permits would certify a group or individuals as legitimate and would allow county authorities a way to track their activities if necessary.

There are many companies that create essays for sale. You may use their service any time you think that you cannot deal with your assignment on your own. However, this option has both its advantages and disadvantages. Read this article to evaluate all the factors and decide whether you want to use the help of such agencies.
By giving your work to another person, you gain plenty of extra free time that you may spend on some important assignments or other activities.
You're likely to get the highest score if you submit an essay provided to you by a professional writing service. They hire only experienced and competent writers to work for them.
You'll have your paper written in time and possibly even much earlier than if you try to compose it by yourself. You'll be able to submit it long before your final deadline.
By looking at papers written by professionals, you'll be able to learn how to improve your own writing skills and compose better essays by yourself in the future.
Students often get stressed when working on assignments that they aren't sure how to deal with successfully. If you use this option, you won't have to worry about anything.
If you regularly buy essays online instead of writing them, you won't receive valuable experience and improve your writing skills that will be useful in the future.
If a teacher discovers that you aren't the true author of your essay, you'll probably earn a low score and get into trouble because of cheating.
The services of professional companies can sometimes cost a lot of money. Not many students can afford such assistance.
There might be plenty of bad consequences if you're unlucky enough to deal with a scam company. They may provide you with papers of very low quality. They may sell you essays with plagiarized content. They may miss your deadline and send your paper when you won't need it anymore. They won't return your money for providing poor services.
Now that you know the pros and cons of purchasing papers from academic writing companies, you can make your own considered decision. It's advisable to find a golden mean: use their services only when you don't have any other choice. Don't waste your money just for being lazy and not wanting to spend some time and effort on your assignments.

When comparing MacVim vs iTerm2, the Slant community recommends iTerm2 for most people. In the question"What are the best power user tools for macOS?" iTerm2 is ranked 1st while MacVim is ranked 24th. The most important reason people chose iTerm2 is:
iTerm has autocomplete features built in. It remembers your past commands and when you are writing something on the terminal, simply pressing `Control-;` it will show you a drop down menu of suggestions from which to choose.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Lots of plugins
Every plugin available for Vim is available for MacVim too.
Pro Extremely customizable
MacVim is Vim, meaning it has all of Vim's customizability and power.
Pro OS X input methods
MacVim supports OSX's native shortcuts making the adoption of Vim easier.
Pro Extensive community support
MacVim, like Vim itself has a large community backing it.
Pro Automatic font substitution
In cases of a selected font missing certain characters, MacVim will find a font that has that character.
Pro Vimtutor teaches the basics of Vim in 30 minutes
Vimtutor is an excellent interactive tutorial for people with no prior experience of Vim. It's bundled with Vim and takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Pro Everything is a mnemonic
Vim associates keys with words. For example,
d is for "delete" and
w is for "word". To perform an action you string together letters. Thus, to delete a word, press dw.
This way it's possible to abstract a large amount of functionality that Vim provides in an intuitive way.
Pro Enables effective keyboard-driven editing due to its modal nature
Interaction with Vim is centered around several modes. Each mode has a different purpose and switching between them changes behaviour and keybindings. There are 12 modes in total (six basic modes and six variations on basic modes) and four of them are used commonly.
Insert mode is for entering text. This mode most resembles traditional text entry in most editors.
Normal mode (the default) is entered by hitting ESC and converts all keybindings to center around movement within the file, search, pane selection, etc.
Command mode is entered by hitting ":" in Normal mode and allows you to execute Vim commands and scripts similar in fashion to a shell.
Visual mode is for selecting lines, blocks, and characters of code.
Modes allow separating concerns between various tasks and reusing keys for different kinds of functionality. As a result, the workflow becomes more efficient.
Pro Multi-byte support
Permits writing characters that don't fit in one byte, most notably logograms (for writing in languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean) and Unicode characters.
Pro Autocomplete is built-in
iTerm has autocomplete features built in. It remembers your past commands and when you are writing something on the terminal, simply pressing
Control-; it will show you a drop down menu of suggestions from which to choose.
Pro Extremely customizable
Other than being able to customize the various shortcuts, iTerm2 also lets you customize the colorscheme, font, transparency, etc.
Pro Fine tuning for fonts
It's possible to choose a font and adjust vertical and horizontal spacing.
Pro Complete out of the box
Unlike most terminal emulators, iTerm2 comes with a pretty complete set of features. It has built-in search, autocompletion, tabbed navigation, Growl support and even a built-in clipboard manager for various API keys and such.
Pro Any key can be mapped to any function
Using the Preferences Menu you can set up hotkeys to map virtually any action you can think of to a single key or a combination of them. This is extremely helpful as it allows you to use shortcuts to edit commands you are typing in the terminal and while most terminal emulators have shortcuts for this sort of thing, few of them let you define your own.
Pro Can immediately open files inside a text editor
You can Ctrl+Click on a file path to open said file in a text editor.
Pro Active maintainers
Issues resolved fast by quality contributors.
Pro Works well with powerline fonts
Pro Supported by many applications as a terminal app selection
If an application has terminal integration, there is high probability it allows iTerm2 to be selected.
Pro Supports mouse actions
Has support for mouse actions like clicking, dragging, selecting, etc.
Pro Can be configured as a drop-down terminal
Can be configured to work as a drop down terminal like Quake.
Pro Completely free and open source
iTerm2 is completely free and open source. It's released under the GPLv2 license.
Pro Works well with tmux
The great mouse and clipboard support that are built-in go really well with tmux.
Pro Intuitive
Pro Split panes
Easy to split panes to either horizontal or vertical sections. Makes it easy to observe multiple console windows.
Pro You only need to type in commands once
iTerm2 can store up to 4M of history of commands you already used. This, coupled with the built-in search features makes it possible to type a command only once and then search for it through the history for subsequent uses.
Pro Cmd+D to split plane vertically
Very handy to use multi-tab.
Pro Works perfect with Oh My Zsh
It's a perfect base to add Oh My Zsh on top of it and enjoy a lot of themes and a really pleasant look and feel.
Pro Cmd+Shift+I to Input all
Wanna SSH your server from multiple tabs, here you go.
Con Slow when opening files with very long lines
A lot of very long lines can make MacVim take up to a minute to open, where a few other editors take only a few seconds to load the same file.
Con Only available on macOS
A decent text editor is available on all major platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows).
Con Difficult learning curve
MacVim after all is still Vim, and with that comes the complexity that Vim brings and the difficult learning curve that needs to be overcome.
Con Not quite as fast as Alacritty or Kitty
Comparing these 3 terminals on the same machine/config, iTerm stands out as the slowest of the bunch. The difference may not be noticeable to all users.
Some people still use Snow Leopard or other 32-bit systems.

Epilepsy Awareness Program - Nervous System
The nervous system is the most complex system of the human body and considered as a functional component. Every moment of the day your nervous system is active, and provides you the ability to perceive, understand and react to environmental events. That is why the nervous system is so extremely important for human behavior.
It exchanges millions of signals corresponding with feeling, thoughts and actions. The human brain itself consists of at least 10 billion nerve cells (or neurons) plus supporting (neuroglial) cells.
The autonomic nervous system is the key to involuntary functions such as breathing and maintaining a heart rate.
The peripheral nervous system is primarily responsible for
The central nervous system (CNS) (the brain and spinal cord) is the primary nervous system with the largest communications network within the human body which is essentially the processing area which detects and sends electrical impulses that are used in the nervous system
All three segmented nervous system categories are always working in constant continuity with each other.

At the core, intervention is a process involving love, concern, and compassion. The "old style", very confrontational way of intervening left many overwhelmed and emotionally "hungover". They were effective, yes, but the newer style is oriented toward painting a more realistic picture of how the addict has changed through the process, how they have affected others, and then throwing them a life ring. This is just as effective as the confrontational way, but requires more planning and staging.
In most states, there are no requirements for credentialing of interventionists. We believe it is important to use a credentialed and/or licensed counselor to do the intervention. There are obvious reasons, such as knowing complicating family dynamics, Mental Health concerns, secondary compulsivities, and appropriate treatment program selection. There are also some others concerns with being able to steer families into the help that they need, not only to support the person in need, but also to begin systemic change with family and social circles. These will support the newly recovering person and aid in healing families.
We are able to mobilize very quickly to any area, and remain flexible through the entire process to accomodate your unique situation and circumstance.
We maintain a relatively small referral base of facilities and programs throughout the US. We refer to well-established, experienced, appropriate, and stable programs only. Our goal is to choose the best available program to elicit the best possible outcome. We have no financial ties with any program or facility.

judging by the reluctance with whick i approached this blog, you might almost think I had a reader, or better still was expecting to be paid. Since neither is true,its surprising that it took me till well past noon before i worked up enough steam to sit at the keyboard and attempt to infiltrate the blogger website.its all down to the number of bees currently buzzing in my bonnet.I could start with my reflections on how best to avoid weddings ( surely the most boring manifestation of allegedly polite society). I don't know which is worse, the terrible clothes or the fact that noone will give you credit for telling the truth. Mind you, its almost as bad now at funerals. Time was when you could have a good day out at a funeral.mind you that depended on the amount of booze on tap. I had a friend, now long gone, who only attended the obsequies of people known for their bibulousness. I was almost at a funeral this week. In the event I turned up late for all the ceremonies but in time for the feed. This was taking place in a room to which you had to walk down three steps, like you were making a modest entrance. Since I'm wobbly on my feet, this involves me hanging on for dear life to a handrail while balancing the descending hip on my sympathy stick.Reaching floor level without incident I noticed that the eyes of the Loughrea contingent were focused on my progress, eyes hungry for calamity. Disappointed once again they swivelled back to the soup. later that day I found that the post had arrived with an invitation to a celebration dinner organised by the alumni organisation of the university which once, in an act of undiluted altruism, awarded me a modest and undeserved degree.Luckily,in those innocent times, it was enough to get me into journalism. Nowadays, the best I could aspire to might be a chance at being a Dara O@Brian substitute on some godawaful smart aleck post ironic " comedy" show. But back to the serious business at hand. For the first time in many years I have to do some clothes shopping. Once again luck is at hand in the shape of my granddaughter who will be my official " shopper". Thus I feel confident that making an entrance apart, I can face the prospect of turning up at the 50th anniversary of the occasion on which I became a kosher graduand - as I think they's called.

The Arch of Triumph: Celestial Trumpets
Imposing rose the brick walls of Barcelona's Arch of Triumph. Archangels on the frieze seemed to be stalking while pretending to be blowing the trumpets to merrily celebrate victory. I decided to edit the picture with some infrared color and then tinted black and white to add some more dramatism to the image. In case you want to see the whole monument, other details of the architecture or learn about its history please check these previous posts:

Photo Trick (Rule of Thirds)
Whether you're a beginner or professional, creating photos that are more
engaging is easy by using this rule. It's a simple way of making your photos look awesome! There are many tricks and tips to make your photos standout but this is a quick and easy one to learn.
So what is the "rule of thirds"?
Before you take a photo, try and imagine a small grid of lines that split the image up into thirds (see image below) and then line up the important elements at the intersections or where these lines meet.
By aligning the important elements off-centre is more pleasing on the eye and looks more natural than placing the elements in the centre. Once you have got to grips with this, it allows you to become more creative with the negative space around the photo.
The horizontal lines are useful when shooting landscapes. Matching up the horizon with either the bottom or top line (depending on what you want to focus on) will make the photo appear more balanced. Not all scenes will have an obvious line to follow but that's where the magic of creativity comes in.

Another example but without lines

Hope you find this useful.

In at this time's world of immediate gratification and complicated technology, youngsters in high school spend more time texting messages on cellular telephones than they do actually talking to their associates and acquaintances at college. By using these methodologies college students don't see their studying as something isolated, as a result of they're obliged to combine data from totally different fields. This arose from the necessity for U.S. students to be as bodily fit as their European counterparts.
Students in online studying situations performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction. Professional registration might require an application to VIT and will have additional or ongoing requirements past the completion of the degree. As always an attempt is made to specifically cowl domestic and international information about health, wellness, bodily education and fitness and the event of the entire baby generally.
All colleges are required by Schooling Code Section 51222 to supply physical schooling elective courses for students after they have completed the years of physical education required for graduation. This web site has numerous good data for youngsters, parents and lecturers about bodily health for kids.
This is particularly true when schools demand these lesson training plans to be reviewed and authorized. Normal four: College students demonstrate information of bodily fitness concepts, rules, and methods to enhance well being and efficiency. The course incorporates a national literacy and numeracy test, which is a requirement of completion of Initial Instructor Teaching programs and a requirement for registration as a teacher.
The course serves as a pathway into a Grasp's Degree for these graduates wishing to qualify as lecturers. If college students feel that what they're studying can be used in real life they might probably be extra-motivated. Consequently, the Bachelor of Training (Primary) is presently undertaking accreditation with the Victorian Institute of Teaching.

Mortgage rates are still within a closing-cost argument of 6.25 percent, held stationary by 10-year T-notes locked in trading between 4.5 percent and 4.6 percent.
The bond market is in a total standoff: fears of an overheating economy and energy-pushed inflation are matched by belief that a rapidly cooling housing market will slow the economy. In the slowdown equation, it doesn't matter how high the Fed pushes short-term rates; the farther it does, the quicker and more the economy will slow, and the more money that owners of bonds will make in the slowdown.

|Leggings- HERE
Shoes- Thrift
|Blue necklace- billabong
Shirt- thrift
|Hat- http://romwe.com
My mom got me this really weird ombre tank top last winter and I've never been able to figure out a way to wear it, then I got these leggings in the mail yesterday, and POW!~ Match made in heaven?<3 Thank goodness neither of these items have a mouth, otherwise they'd be making out and in LOVE!!!
So yeah, I've been imagining myself as a 'club kid' lately, running around with my midriff showing. I don't know what else to call this style. Downtown appropriate perhaps? Even then, where I live, this outfit is appropriate NO WHERE. I actually wore this to the mall and it was the most ridicule I had ever received in such a short amount of time in my whole life! Jerks. Apparently they don't know how to appreciate my crushed velvet boots which I am completely enamored with. Them and their ineffable beauty…
I graduate from high school at 8 o' clock today!
Wish me luck B]

Want to know the Republican Strategy to beat Obama?
It's been a secret plan, but it has many no-secret parts. Here's a great overview and I urge you to watch it.
This plan has to be opposed, but you can't oppose it until you know what it is… so warch and listen:
OK… are you ready to get going? Let's make sure this doesn't become the exclusive country of the Koch Brothers and their pals… They are pretty sure not to include you in their plans.

Is Huckabee an Idiot or a Liar?
I won't get into Huckabee's Kenya/Mau Mau comments on Obama, nor his "spokesman" stating that Huckabee "misspoke" (may be that was a "Misspokesman") and really meant Indonesia (which had no Mau Maus)… you've heard enough of this on all the news networks and other blogs (if you haven't you can check out Yahoo News).
What I am concerned with is such a statement coming from one of the Republicans who seemed to be somewhat more reasonable than the others.
If he was thinking about running for President, this wasn't the smartest mess to get into. However, I don't imagine that the Southern State Repubs will give a damn about this.
I'd hope that Huck isn't a Liar. Since he does believe in a 6000 – year – old world created by God in seven days (Creationism), I'd vote for Idiot.

CPAC meets this week… more television comedy
It's the annual time of year when the far right gets together to plan their future and ours, funded by the Koch Brothers and other Conservative money guys. This year, however, things are a little shaky at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Because there is a gay conservative group among the sponsors the show this year, some really extreme groups have pulled out. And folks like Mike Huckabee have decided not to attend.
According to the CPAC website, confirmed speakers for this year's event include Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), among other big conservative names.
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) was tapped to deliver the keynote address at the conference. Sarah Palin was offered the coveted speaking opportunity; however, declined to accept the invitation. There's a Live Blog going on at Huffington Post if you want to follow the fun.

From Yahoo News: Keith Richards disses Mike Huckabee's guitar skills
Huckabee, who still plays bass in a band called Capital Offense, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in '06 that he pardoned Richards after meeting him backstage at a Stones concert. Richards, he said, brought up the arrest, joking that he hoped the cops weren't still looking for him. Huckabee said he offered to take care of it, which he ultimately did in hopes of giving Richards something "positive" to remember about Arkansas.
It doesn't seem as though Huckabee's ploy worked, however. There's nothing worse than an aspiring rocker learning that his idol has kissed him off with the words, "I think he even has a band."

Eyyyy mon!! It's Carnivaaaal!
Extra stop-and-search powers have been granted to police as the Notting Hill Carnival got under way in west London.
Scotland Yard imposed the Section 60 order from 09:00 BST until midnight following "incidents of violence… across the city over the last week".
Over two days there were five separate shootings while a man was fatally stabbed in Deptford on Saturday night.
One million people are expected at the Carnival over the weekend with Sunday known as family day.
Forget "Cuck Island." The UK should be called, "Euphemism Island" instead.
Eh, eh?
Alright, fine. Cuck Island is better.
Check out these pictures from the article:
It's almost like two armies heading to battle.
One wearing colorful coats of arms. The other all in Black.
Does the BBC understand what association this creates in people's minds?
I think that they think showing smiling Africans in fancy feathers and then the serious black-clad police right after is supposed to insinuate that the police are bad and there to kill the fun.
But some people might associate one with the other. Blacks in the streets and a vicious police state.
The two-day event is being policed by the highest number of officers in six years with some 13,000 officers deployed.
Knife arches, which are used to detect blades and deter people from carrying them, are also being installed for the first time at "strategic points" across the Carnival.
Pay-up, Whitey!
And it's not a true and blue street holiday in Europe without bringing in the Freak Mafia.
I like the roller-blades, but that's about all that I like about this photo.

Aussie Horse Racing Tips – 1st July 2017
Last weekend saw the final Group 1 race in Australia for a couple of months but that does not mean we are out of racing to get our teeth stuck into.
Caulfield has nine races on Saturday with competitive action scheduled across the board. We've gone through the action to pick out the best bets from the day which to hopefully give your betting balance a boost.
R1 – Schweppes Handicap
There's no need for the racing to warm up at Caulfield. The Schweppes Handicap is a strong start with some highly impressive two-year-olds doing battle for a decent prize.
When you get such youthful horses there will always be a number of unknowns but that doesn't mean we're completely shooting in the dark.
The bookmakers certainly have enough of an idea about the race to make Lone Eagle the clear favourite. Connections hope that he'll improve for the step up in trip to 1200 meters but the one we're backing is Royal Phoenix.
He wasn't exactly impressive in his first race but won second time out via a dead heat in the Eugene Gorman Handicap. He looked better for the step up in trip in his second race and should improve even further for another 100 meters which makes him look good value at $7 with Sportsbet.
"Back racing at #Caulfield July 1. Track in perfect order with thick grass cover after 7-week break, rail out 7m" – Caulfield Track Manager pic.twitter.com/Vv7ki6XZOy— MelbourneRacingClub (@Caulfield) June 28, 2017
R3 – Sheen Group Plate
The Sheen Group Plate could provide one of the stories of the day at Caulfield. We've got triple figure shots among the 18 runners but it's one of the shorter priced options who will get most backing.
Some horses become heroes for their big wins while others gain popularity for the way they keep battling on despite failing to enter the winners' circle. When it comes to Coldstone, it's very much a case of the latter.
The four-year-old has placed in three of his last five appearances but has not been able to secure a win this season for trainer, Michael Kent. That could be about to change at Caulfield on Saturday.
Coldstone will face major challenges from the likes of Annaman and Curragh but he looks set for a big run. The trip and his weight both look good so we recommend betting on Coldstone to win at $6.50 with Ladbrokes.
R9 – Quayclean Handicap
We end our betting previews at Caulfield with the final race of the day, the Quayclean Handicap.
Run over 1800 meters, this is a competitive looking handicap. We've got 16 runners, all of which are priced at less than $42 so each of the competitors has a genuine chance of bagging the win.
On first viewing this does look like a tough race to unpick but it could be as easy as backing the favourite given the form of Magic Consol.
The seven-year-old has two wins from his last five starts and it could have been even better were he not pipped at the winning post last time out by Petrology.
His best recent performance came when winning over a mile but he won over 1800 meters in October at Horsham so the trip shouldn't pose any problem at all. At odds of $6.50 with Betstar, Magic Consol's chances look very well priced.
Given the competitive nature of the Quayclean Handicap, it makes perfect sense to have more than one horse to go to war with.
For an each-way bet, the $15 that Bet365 are quoting on Zebrinz's chances are well worth taking.
The six-year-old hasn't had the best results when stepping up to 1800 meters before but his form has been strong of late and if things go to plan he should return at least a place at a healthy price.
Top Betting Tips:
Royal Phoenix to win Race 1 at $7 with Sportsbet
Coldstone to win Race 3 at $6.50 with Ladbrokes
Magic Consol to win Race 9 at $6.50 with Betstar
Zebrinz each-way in Race 9 at $15 with Bet365

My PC Keeps Freezing!!
When it is installing the Windows98 Installation wizard, it Gets done 100% Then Freezes up.
What version of 98? What cpu and how much ram? How big is the hard drive?
Windows 98SE, Compaq Pressario 1277, and ?RAM. It used to have windows98SE on it but I accidentally used the Compaq QuickRestore And now it's gone.
If it's got the original hardware then it's an AMD K6 running at 433 mhz with 64 meg of ram. Not much ram but it shouldn't cause any problems like what you're experiencing.
When you're installing 98 are you using the restore disk or a regular 98 installation disk? The restore disk should have SE on it.
What exactly is showing on the screen when it freezes?
Try this thread, you may need to use the /ie switch:
"Win98 setup wizard hangs [Archive] - The PC Guide Discussion Forums:"
Okay it is the restore disk I created. Cannot find original.
The restore disk that came with the computer should work OK as long as it and the cdrom are in good condition. If you created a separate restore disk then I don't know if that will work.
A regular 98 installation cd should work too.
Sometimes bad ram can cause installation problems. Memtest86 is the most popular ram testing software:
There are downloads to create a bootable cd or floppy disk.
You have an older system so it's probably best to use an older version. The newest and most recent previous versions are downloadable from the memtest86 site. You can download an earlier version here:
They usually say to let it run for several hours.
If the ram checks out bad then obviously you need to replace it. If it's OK then the problem is elsewhere.

Note: This post is not a technical one, but one focusing on a professional (and maybe personal) growth. As we're already well on our way to 2019, I figured that now is as good time as any to look back, all the way to the year 2018! As I mentioned in passing in a previous post, I did end up leaving the company I had worked for 20 years, and while being a small step to mankind it was quite a huge leap to me.
It also taught me few things, which I figured are worth sharing.(more…)

Note: Last month's redesign of Green Lantern by Shawn Yap proved to be one of our more popular posts in recent memory, and we're thankful to have Shawn back for a return visit with this simple yet evocative glimpses at his rendition of Marvel's Generation X. Keeping in the tradition of unified costume designs with unique touches of flair for each character, Yap's take on this teen team are a lot to take in. And just wait for part 2 later this year as Yap takes on the rest of Gen-X squad. – Chris A.
Yap's thoughts on Chamber:
Definitely the powerhouse of the group, next to M. I've always seen him as a character that's about control – to really try and reign it in, despite the consequences that came with his mutant powers. I've also always loved the aesthetic design for Chamber – the half hidden face and all, and decided to keep that with the high-collar trench coat. Threw in some power inhibitors/indicators and gave him pistols that can tap into the vast psionic energy in his body. Gives the codename Chamber a double meaning as well.
Yap on Jubilee:
As the most out-spoken member of the team, Jubilee got the flashiest version of the uniform – with more highlights than the other members. I also wanted it to reflect her personality, brash, loud and sure of herself – like fireworks. (Given her power-set, she could also act as the teams default "bait" character) On a more practical aspect, gave her goggles to shield her eyes from all that light, and threw in headphones – figured she probably would want music as she's beating the crap out of bad guys. She also has a lot more X-symbols on her – to commemorate her stint in the main X-team. :)
Yap on Skin:
Like Chamber, Skin is one of those characters that have to live with the physical transformations caused by his mutation. However, I see him as a character who is torn between being confident of himself but yet needing to hide from the world, hence the hoodie – short sleeve mash-up. Visualised him as a assassin-type character as well, with him being able to use his extended skin to swing around and change to various weapons. His shoes can mesh together or break into individual toes – figured his skin is still pretty vulnerable so shoes would help.

Participants from a charity's 'Can Do Sport' programme have taken part in this year's Bishopbriggs Triathlon to break down barriers facing disabled people.
Young people with additional support needs took part in the gruelling annual triathlon event recently, which saw them swim, cycle and run.
The Leonard Cheshire in Scotland's 'Can Do Sport' programme harnesses the potential of sport to tackle inactivity amongst young people with additional support needs.
The aim is also to improve their mental wellbeing, breaking down barriers to their participation in sport and making a real, positive difference to their lives.
The innovative programme is delivered thanks to a £10,000 grant from the Year of Young People National Lottery Fund to enable more than a hundred young people with additional support needs to access sport related volunteering opportunities.
Organisers of the Bishopbriggs Triathlon worked with Leonard Cheshire in Scotland to make the event fully accessible for young people with various additional support needs.
One of the participants completed the triathlon, months after returning from a successful trip to the Special Olympics in Dubai.
Darren Carruthers, who partakes as a Can Doer, was given the opportunity to travel to Dubai with his family for the 2019 Special Olympics World Games.
Taking part in three competitions, Darren finished fifth in the 1500 metres, fourth in the 4x100 metre relay and gained an excellent bronze medal for the 3000 metres. He achieved an impressive time of under an hour at the Bishopbriggs Triathlon, with his mum watching at the side.
Darren said: "I had a good day at Bishopbriggs Triathlon. I feel proud this is my biggest triathlon to date and I'm thinking if I train hard I might do the sprint one next year.
"Thanks to taking part in Leonard Cheshire in Scotland's Can Do programme I'm now far more self-confident. I'm really happy I was able to compete in this today!"
Leonard's James Allan, who manages the Can Do Sport programme, praised the triathlon participants.
He said: "We are so proud of them. They smashed it at the Bishopbriggs Triathlon.
"Disabled people face huge stigma but, as our youngsters have shown, we should never cap anyone's ambition. To complete the gruelling physical challenge is a huge achievement in anyone's book. Well done guys!"

Unfortunately, your HVAC equipment isn't meant to last forever. Your system will eventually begin to give you signs that your home heating is now in need of an upgrade. Here at Day & Nite Plumbing and Heating, we won't just help you spot potential problems. We'll also help you when you're ready to upgrade your HVAC system. As we get ready for winter, let's take a look at some of the signs that it may be time for an upgrade.
A Noisy Furnace
If your furnace is making some odd noises, like banging, clanking, or squeaking noises, it could be time for an upgrade. Sometimes it's just a simple fix like a pilot light adjustment, but in other cases it could be a sign that your HVAC system is nearing the end of its effective life. If one of our HVAC technicians find a number of broken parts or poor connections, it could be time for an upgrade.
An Outdated Thermostat
If your thermostat has a decidedly retro look, it could be time to upgrade your home heating. Thermostats have gotten smarter over time. Today's models do a better job of keeping your home comfortable without wasting energy during the day when you're out at work. Many thermostats can even be hooked up to Wi-Fi and paired with an app to maximize comfort. You'll wonder how you lived without one of these new thermostat options once you upgrade.
Humidity Issues
Low or high humidity can make your home uncomfortable. If you experience excess humidity in your home during the summer months or notice dry air during the winter months, it could be a sign that you need to upgrade your home heating. An update should fix the problem and help protect a variety of items in your home that can be damaged by changing humidity levels. If you have hardwood floors, antique furniture, artwork, or instruments that you want to protect, opting for a new heating system and other HVAC upgrades will pay off.
Outdated Ducts
A heating system with outdated ducts or other duct issues can cause a variety of problems. Some rooms might be too hot, while others don't seem to get the heat that they need. Old ducts could also spread dust, creating problems for anyone with allergies. A new, leak-free duct system will be able to safety and efficiently distribute heat throughout your home.
It's Been a While Since You Updated Your Heating
Even if nothing is outwardly wrong, updating your home heating just because it's been a while since you purchased an upgrade can be a good idea. If your heating system is more than a decade old, it's just not as efficient as current options are. A replacement could save you money on your heating bill while being better at its job.
Too Many Repairs
Naturally, our HVAC experts are ready and willing to take care of any heating repairs you need. An occasional service call isn't a cause for alarm, but if you feel like you're constantly in need of repairmen, you might be better off just upgrading your heating system. Contact us when you're ready for an upgrade.

There are probably plenty of people that wouldn't consider me a gamer.
My gamertag profile is Recreational, not Underground. I've never played through all the Halo games, the Call of Duty has gone unanswered on my consoles, and the Gears of War stopped turning after about 45 minutes. I rarely play online multiplayer, and when I do, I don't scream slanderous imprecations.
I've never played Madden (or any of the 2K sports games), the only RPG I ever finished had Mario in it, and in case you skipped the first section, I'm not a big fan of shooters (BioShock excepted).
These reasons would be held against me in a court of gaming.
I still feel like a gamer, though. I grew up playing video games like Metroid, Zelda, Tetris, Mega Man, Contra, Ninja Gaiden, and of course, the Mario suite (We only ever had Nintendo consoles until I bought a PS2 in college). For the first time in my life, I have all the current-generation consoles. I have an Xbox Live Gold account (hamm0ndeggs; yes, that's a zero), a PlayStation Plus account, (hamm0ndeggs610; again, zero), and a GameFly membership. I play whenever I get a chance, and I find myself wishing I had more time to play, since I have a stack of games that have barely been touched, if they've been touched at all.
But I find myself enjoying it less and less. I don't know if it's just that I'm getting old and curmudgeonly, and these new games <old man voice> AREN'T LIKE THE ONES WE HAD WHEN I WAS A KID, </old man voice> or if I'm seeing it as less of a worthy expenditure of my time.
I'm leaning toward the latter.
Now, I never thought I would have even entertained the idea that I would ever outgrow video games. That would be ridiculous. Even now, I'm not entirely sure that I have, or I ever will. My wife will attest to my regular rendezvous with my consoles. I'm still active. But I've felt a definite shift in the attitude I have toward my games. It's almost like I view them as a chore now, instead of the diversion they're supposed to be. The conclusion I've come to is this:
Achievements are ruining my game experience.
Call them achievements, call them trophies, call it gamerscore… it's all the same thing. Collection trophies, completion achievements, these are all arbitrary numbers attached to arbitrary actions, and those numbers add up to a poor paycheck for jobs that are designed to be tedious.
But it's a paycheck I line up for like a lab rat hitting a feeder bar. Like a junkie chasing the high. And that's exactly what it is. Don't believe me? Cracked published an article about 5 Creepy Ways Video Games Are Trying to Get You Addicted. You should read it, especially if you're a gamer.
The idea of achievements is an effort/reward system, and it makes you want more. And more. And more.
When I was a kid, we didn't give a crap about achievements. We had points, which you could say were similar, but it at least changed with every new game you played. With gamerscore and whatever the trophy quotient formula Sony uses is, it becomes part of you. It's your gamer CV. And it's killing my inner child.
I don't play games that don't have trophies on my Ps3. Because I don't see the point. Because I think of it as time spent without compensation. Do I expect some kind of compensation when I go to the movies? When I read a book? No, but I'm sure I would if I was using an app like Glue or trying to become the mayor of some place on FourSquare. And that's in real life.
The chase for achievements has robbed me of games I'm sure I would have enjoyed. Metal Gear Solid 4, for example. I didn't play it despite the amazing things I've heard about it solely because there weren't trophies for it.
Games are not the only thing I believe achievements are snatching from my life. I think that I'm not only becoming addicted to them, but I'm also finding a sense of accomplishment through something that has no value in the real world.
That's right: I'm letting video game achievements stop me from achieving things that will improve my life.
That has to stop.
Maybe that means I'll play less video games. Maybe I'll just care less about harvesting achievements and trophies, and play games I enjoy. One of my recent goals is to start writing more. And I'm doing that now. Talking about something that's fighting for my attention seemed only natural.
So if you made it this far, thanks for reading.
Achievement Unlocked.

Teen Guilty In Ranch Killings
Jurors convicted a 16-year-old boy in the shooting deaths of his family on newsman Sam Donaldson's ranch despite a defense attorney's claims that the teen was abused by his parents.
Cody Posey was convicted of murder in the deaths of his stepmother and stepsister and voluntary manslaughter in the death of his father, who worked as a foreman on Donaldson's ranch in southern New Mexico.
Posey also was convicted of four counts of evidence tampering. He hung his head and wept as the verdicts were read.
Posey could face life in prison on the first-degree murder charge in the death of his stepsister. State District Judge Waylon Counts said a sentencing hearing would be scheduled within 30 days.
The teen was arrested a few days after the bodies of his father and stepmother, Paul and Tryone Posey, and his 13-year-old stepsister, Mary Lee Schmid, were found hidden in a manure pile on Donaldson's Chavez Canyon Ranch in July 2004.
Donaldson was the trial's first witness, taking the stand Jan. 17 to describe finding a bloody scene upon returning from a trip.
The jury, which heard three weeks of testimony, began deliberating Monday.
Verlin Posey, brother of Paul Posey, told reporters outside the courthouse he was pleased with the verdict but disappointed the teen was not convicted of first-degree murder in his brother's death.
"I didn't like it, but I can live with it," he said.
Prosecutor Janice Schryer claimed that Posey's parents were loving, but said the youth did not like ranch life and "took the opportunity to relieve himself of those expectations and that life."
Defense attorney Gary Mitchell argued that Posey, who was 14 at the time of the slayings, was abused by his parents.
He described years of physical and psychological abuse, and said the flashpoint to the murders came when Paul Posey burned the boy with a metal welding rod after the teen allegedly refused to have sex with his stepmother the night before the slayings.
But prosecutors contended the teen planned the slayings, then lied and tried to turn suspicion away from himself. Prosecution witnesses also testified they never saw a mark on Posey's body — not a scrape, bruise or black eye.
Ellen Brust, whose son was married to Cody's biological mother, spent two weeks attending the trial and offered her support for the boy.
"I know we'll be back and Cody will be vindicated," Brust said.

Question: When is a grid not a grid?
Answer: When its a sub-grid.
Lately an issue has been raised on Hypergrid Business about a service offered by a opensim hosting company. This post was about a service offered by Digiworldz which is being called "Grid within a grid". I cannot determine if this is the name that Digiworldz are calling it – or if this is a name that Hypergrid Business has called it.
The resulting discussion around it however has been interesting. Apart from the few personal attacks on people for their opinions that is common on these forums, there is an important theme in my mind. "When using services like this, do people really know what they are getting?"
There seems to be some disagreement about the validity of a "grid" that is part of another grid. Some have postulated that as this "grid within a grid" gets its own login page it IS its own grid. Others have maintained that as it is still connected to the same grid, can access the same map, connects to the same robust type services, uses the same currency settings as the main grid, and is bound to the same TOS as the host grid, then it is in fact nothing more than an Estate (or Estates) on that grid with a bit extra fancy front end.
I would say the latter is the case. Going slightly mathematical on you all now, look at the image at the top of this post. It describes two sets. One set (B) is a subset of set (A). Now think of this as grids. The "host" grid is the set (A). the numbers inside the circle for (A) are users on that grid. Set (B) is a "grid within a grid". Clearly it is totally enclosed by (A). While it would be possible to move (B) out of (A), it would mean that users in grid (B) could no longer communicate DIRECTLY with users on grid (A). They could do so – but that would involve the hypergrid. If Grid (B) was separate from grid (A) then every communication between A and B would have to go through hypergrid.
In the case of a grid within a grid, there is no need for hypergrid to be involved when comunicating between A and B, why? Because they are all in the same grid. Everything that is in B, is ALSO part of A. It's a subgrid, and everything that applies to A, also applies to B.
Does this matter? Possibly not. I am not criticizing the service, I am sure it is exactly what some people want. It gives them a coherent estate they have a lot of control over – but that control is limited by the TOS and settings of the host grid. If people know this, accept this, and want this – then no problem. It's a solution that will be useful to some.
However, I feel that services like this should be more clearly advertised. It should be made clear you are not getting a standalone grid – but an area of another grid. In some cases this will be preferred. Personally I would not want to deal with my own asset server – I have no problem with simulators but for an active grid, an asset server is a beast!
I cannot see anything on Digiworldz website advertising any grid within a grid – but I may have missed it so I think it likely this is a term defined by someone else. I hope however that in any service Digiworldz DO market that is along these lines they do make it clear what the limitations are. In particular ensure that customers know they are going to be limited by Digiworldz TOS.

Bloomin' Beautiful
What a gorgeous stamp set? I colored this using the watercolor technique featured on Diana Gibbs blog. It was so easy and what great results. I used Shimmer White rather than watercolor paper and it worked fine. You do have to let it dry between adding color! The flower is matted with black and the printed paper is from the 6x6 hostess gift (More Mustard). The fallen flowers & bee are attached with dimensionals. Until next time, Happy Stampin' & Scrappin'

European air traffic glitch blamed on radar overload
BERLIN (AP) — Officials have concluded that over a dozen high-flying aircraft briefly disappeared from air traffic control screens over central Europe last year because the planes' radar systems were overloaded.
The incidents on June 5 and 10, 2014, forced air traffic controllers in Austria and neighboring countries to take emergency measures, guiding pilots by voice communication to prevent midair collisions.
The European Aviation Safety Agency says in a report that the source of the transmissions which overloaded the planes' transponders was in a 69-mile radius to the east of the Czech capital Prague.
The confidential report, obtained Friday by The Associated Press, notes that five surveillance systems manufacturers are based in the area and it was "highly probable" that tests conducted by the companies were the source of the interference.

A few months back, a local business owner and myself were talking about how nice it would be if we had an easy way of cleaning our dogs at home. It led us to talk about a mobile dog wash business. (true entrepreneur spirits) While doing the research and crunching the numbers, we realized it was not a viable business. With the ideas resting not so quietly on the back burner, we continue to drag our unwilling dogs to the groomers. I don't know about her but my grooming bill for one little house puppy is $1200 a year! These little indoor dogs live long lives, sometimes 14 to 15 years. Now we are talking big money...around $17,000 in just grooming for the lifetime of one little itty bitty dogie!
In an article published in Rismedia November 30th written by Mark Nash titled "What;s in and What's Out with Home Buyers in 2008", he lists some obvious and not so obvious changes but wait...item four in the What's In category is, you guessed it, PET SHOWERS!
For an estimate of about $4,000 you can build a very desirable and fashionable PET SHOWER in a laundry room or garage! With a pet shower I would be saving and estimated $13,000 on the care of one spoiled pup. I too am predicting that the Pet Shower is going to be the HOTTEST new ticket in property assets.
The photo above is taken from a very cool custom tile site by Margaret Licha Designs and it prove that dogie showers are the new buzz word for pet owners.

Book Description
Publication Date: April 20, 2013
Life outside of her house was a new experience for Della Sloane. The dark secrets of her past weren't something she ever intended to share with anyone. They would never understand. No one would ever get close enough to find out. There was always a chance she'd go crazy sooner than they expected…
Woods Kerrington had never been one to be attracted to fragile females. They seemed like too much work. He wasn't in it for the work just the pleasure. A night full of naughty fun had been exactly what was on his mind when he'd laid eyes on the hot little number that didn't know how to pump gas and needed some help.
What he didn't know was she was as fragile as they came.
The carefree girl who spoke her mind and didn't care what the world thought of her was more breakable than he could ever imagine…
I don't really know how to give this book a review except to say wow.
Once again Abbi Glines has written an amazing story.
Looking forward to the next installment in the fall.

Make Money From Home – 6 Compelling Reasons to Work From Home
In this economic climate many people are having a very hard time making ends meet financially. This is true in many employment situations, even with two people working with reasonable salaries. Costs and expenses take up far too much of the take home pay. I am going to suggest six reasons why you should consider working from home as a solution to income problems.
1. It will help you take control of your life
Many people feel as though their lives are out of control and they have no say about their daily schedules or about future promotions or pay raises. In other words they feel stuck in a situation that seems to have no end in sight no matter how hard they work. By working from home, you have your own small business and that feeling of taking control gives you confidence and a reason to work hard.
2. Working From Home Online Does Not Require Capital
Perhaps you have tried several small businesses such as selling cosmetics or other items and it does bring in a certain amount of money, but you have to buy inventory and keep stock. Working from Home Online requires very little to start with, though I suggest if you can put aside $300 or so, it will be helpful.
3. Flexible Hours
This is one of the biggest advantages. You can work into the night if you wish especially if you have to keep your day job during the day. I suggest you do keep your job if possible, but if you don't have one, then you can give as much time to your work at home business as you like.
4. You will save on expenses
You will save money on commuting whether by car or bus. Lunches add up and so do office clothes and all the other things that go with going out to work.
5. Future Security
This is a job from which no one can fire you. You are the boss, and its success depends on your own initiative and hard work. As traditional jobs disappear and no one can be sure of life-long employment any more, taking responsibility for yourself by beginning to make money from home will lead to future financial security.
6. Affiliate marketing is the place to start
Go online and find Work From Home products in Clickbank and slowly start to understand how it all works. Then pick one that sounds reasonable and that has good support and training, Avoid those with exaggerated claims or play on your emotions and dreams of the rich life. More about this in a future article.
The decision to work from home is not to be undertaken lightly, but on the other hand you cannot lose by trying it out. Get your feel wet and you will ultimately feel the freedom that comes with taking action to find a solution to your financial needs and dreams.

13 Most Popular Fanfiction Websites You'll Browse Endlessly
Fanfiction websites are a great tool for budding writers to easily showcase their talent to a large audience at once, share their creativity, and get reviews from like-minded people. Penlighten gives you a list of 13 most popular fanfiction websites.
Vrinda Varnekar
"I myself used to write Star Wars fan fiction when I was younger. I think writing fan fiction is a good way for new writers to learn to tell a story."Fanfiction is basically fiction written by fans or, to put it in a better way, admirers of the original work. Fanfiction writers include much of the same characters and also sometimes choose to add new ones, if they want to. Fanfiction stories often reflect the writer's view (in this case, the view of the reader of the original work) as to what should have happened in that particular story. Fanfiction also encourages "crossovers", when writers choose to combine the elements of different stories in one single fictional creation.
― Meg Cabot, author
There are several websites dedicated solely for fanfiction, and are a great platform for writers of any age to publish their content online. What makes these websites very popular is that most of them are free, and the process of uploading content is fairly simple, and writers get reviews from other fans, which encourages them to keep writing.

Fanfiction is fun to read, and not very difficult to write once you have the idea in your head―you already know the characters, the original plot, and the writing style of the author. If you're writing fanfiction for the first time, here's a little advice for you.
- Check your grammar and spellings thoroughly before you submit any story. If there's one thing that genuine fanfiction-lovers hate, it's a poorly-written story. Though the essence of the content is important, correct grammar and good spellings are important too!
- Don't include explicit content in your story. Many websites cater to audiences of different ages, including children, and if your story has inappropriate content, it may be rejected by your chosen fanfiction website.
- Make sure you read all the rules and guidelines specified by the website before posting your story, mainly about copyrights and other related issues.
- Decide the plot of the story beforehand. Your story shouldn't confuse the reader with a complicated plot. Be really clear about what you want to write, and prepare a rough draft for yourself so that you can read it and decide if you need any changes.
- Don't expect to get paid! Fanfiction websites are a great platform for you to showcase your writing skills, but that's it. Don't expect to get paid for posting any work of fanfiction on a particular website.
