"Hello," she wrote in the caption adding a sunshine emoji.

Columnist David Broder of the Washington Post has written that, "If George Bush fails to be re-elected, we may look back on Thursday, July 10, 2003, as the day the shadow of defeat first crossed his political horizon." Broder, who called it "Black Thursday," said that the "CBS Evening News that night was like Karl Rove's worst nightmare, and the other network newscasts?still the main source of information for the largest number of Americans?were not much better."
Broder noted that the headlines announced by John Roberts, substituting for Dan Rather on CBS, were: "President Bush's false claim about Iraqi weapons; he made it despite a CIA warning the intelligence was bad. More Americans say U.S. is losing control of Iraq. Also tonight, food lines in America; they're back and getting longer."
The headline for the Iraq story was false. The President's claim still stands up under scrutiny, and the story by David Martin which followed that sensational headline was careful enough to note that the statement about uranium from Africa was "technically correct." But Broder's point is also correct, in that the coverage that evening was an orchestrated "Black Thursday" to undermine the administration.
It got worse. On July 21, CBS News correspondent David Hawkins reported, "In an exclusive interview with CBS News, three men who claim to have participated in several recent and deadly attacks on U.S. soldiers say they're not doing it for love of Saddam?but instead for God and their country." Hawkins said, "The three claim to be the ones who attacked a military convoy last week west of Baghdad?an attack that killed one American soldier. A Baghdad gun-runner arranged a meeting with them for CBS News."
What a switch from the days when American reporters were embedded with U.S. troops as they fought Iraqi troops. At this rate, it may not be long before CBS News reporters are embedded with the Iraqi terrorists as they plot to kill more Americans. But not only is CBS News interviewing Iraqi killers, it also ran a story on July 19 charging that U.S. troops may have committed torture. The story, posted on the CBS News website, reported that, "Amnesty International is looking into a number of cases of suspected torture in Iraq by American authorities." An American denial was dismissed by an Iraqi as a lie. Two days before that, on July 17, the CBS Evening News aired a story about low morale among some U.S. troops. That followed an ABC World News Tonight story about a few soldiers in Iraq demanding to go home.
These stories on the CBS Evening News are airing in the wake of revelations that the newscast has endured its smallest average audience in at least 10 years, perhaps ever. As noted by a story on CNN, "The evening newscast with Dan Rather, for several years third in the ratings behind NBC and ABC, has lately been losing even more ground to its rivals." CBS News President Andrew Heyward said that while he wanted to reverse that trend, it wasn't something to be "overly concerned about." He claimed the broadcast was excellent. Viewers seem to disagree.

'They were world class, but I wanted to give it a go' - Liam Miller reflects on memorable career in 2015 interview
In a 2015 interview, Liam MIiller said he had no regrets about a football career that saw him play for Celtic, Manchester United and the Republic of Ireland.
The 36-year-old former midfielder passed away last night after a battle with cancer, and in 2015 after it was announced he was returning home to play for Cork City, he spoke to the Irish Independent about his memorable career.
Miller made his professional debut for Celtic in Kenny Dalglish's last game in charge in 2000, before breaking into the first team under Martin O'Neill during the 2003/04 season.
After a stellar campaign, the Corkman signed with Manchester United on a free transfer, but only made nine league appearances in two seasons before moving on.
Despite failing to make a lasting impact at Manchester United, Miller told the Irish Independent that he wouldn't have changed his journey.
"I have no regrets from my career," he said.
"There have been highlights. My Ireland debut. My debut for Celtic. My first game for Manchester United.
"When I left Celtic for United, I knew the players that were there. Keane and Scholes in the middle. They're world-class players. But I wanted to give it a go, I felt at the time I was good enough, whether that was (true), I don't know."
After leaving the Red Devils, Miller played for Leeds, Sunderland, QPR, Hibs, Perth Glory, Melbourne City and Brisbane Roar, before returning to play for Cork City.
He also played for Ireland 21 times, scoring one goal.

VIDEO: THE GAME WINNING SHOT BY CRAIG McGEE
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology sophomore Craig McGee hit a running layup with 2.3 seconds remaining to break a 65-65 tie and lead the Fightin' Engineers to a 67-65 men's basketball victory over Franklin College on Wednesday night at Hulbert Arena.
McGee drove the right of the lane and scored on a runner just outside the lane to give Rose-Hulman a two-point lead. Franklin's Kale Morris missed a well defended 25-foot three-pointer on the right wing at the buzzer as Rose-Hulman improved to 11-4 in conference play.
McGee led all scorers with a season-high 21 points, along with five assists and five rebounds. John Czarnecki added his fourth career double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Charlie Aimone also reached double figures with 15 points for the Engineers.
Eli Combs, competing against his brother Isaac from Franklin, came off the bench with eight points in 14 minutes of action for Rose-Hulman.
Franklin shot 62% from the field in the second half to rally from an 18-point halftime deficit to tie the score in the final seconds. Borden Kennedy led the Grizzlies with 13 points, Morris added 12 and Matt Krause scored 11 points.
Rose-Hulman relied on 46% shooting and a solid defense that held Franklin to 1-9 from three-point range in the opening 20 minutes to build a 39-21 halftime advantage.
In the second half, Rose-Hulman held a 53-40 lead with 11:08 left before Franklin scored 10 straight points to move within 53-50 at the 8:34 mark.
Franklin never led but was able to tie the score at 59-59 then again at 65-65 to set the stage for the game winning basket. McGee made the final two field goals for Rose-Hulman, after Czarnecki scored in the lane on a pass from Aimone to make the score 63-59 at the 2:30 mark.
Rose-Hulman remains one game behind Hanover in the HCAC standings at 11-4 and improved to 15-7 overall. Franklin remains tied for sixth in the league at 6-9 in conference play. Rose-Hulman travels to Earlham for the annual John Mutchner Cup Game on Saturday at 4 p.m.

A day late, but I completely forgot about this beautiful animated short, based on a poem by the inimitable Neil Gaiman.Vodpod videos no longer available.
"Nicholas Was" by Neil Gaiman, animation by 39 Degrees North.
I don't know how it's possible to love this man any more than I already do, but every time I see something like this, he captures my heart that much more.
Happy winter festivities!
I'm not a terribly big holiday person, perhaps because there was always a lot of pressure and expectation in our household to have a happy cookie-cutter, Hallmark American Christmas. So there are no lights and there is no tree at our apartment this year. But I am baking cookies and making chicken curry for a potluck later on today, and I'm looking forward to having some nice company with which to pass the time.
So whether you are celebrating the festivities or just enjoying the winter, I hope you are warm and happy, and that there is hot food on the stove. I could certainly use a warm body to get cozy with tonight.
More Max whip photos
One of the things on my short to-do list while I was in Seattle was to take more photos of the whip I made for Max. I ended up taking them on a table with really strong sunlight, so they're a little higher contrast than I'd like, but here are two that turned out alright:
Brother's keeper
This past Thanksgiving, I made it a priority to spend more quality time with my younger brother. We had a pretty confusing sibling relationship when we were both much younger, and I really want to build a better connection with him. He is a good, kind person, and in a lot of ways I always felt he was a lot better person than I was (which I resented when I was younger). And while I think he is doing really well, he lives solely with my mother right now, and I can't help but want to provide another outlet for him, especially with regards to certain topics.
One of the goals of my trip home for the holiday was to create the opportunity to talk about sex with him. This opportunity was actually facilitated by my mother, who worried about not being able to talk to her son so frankly. She approached me and asked if I would be willing to send him some resources or talk with him, and I quickly agreed. I could not be happier that she felt comfortable asking me to talk to my brother about sex!
I bought him S.E.X., by Heather Corinna, and we spent a little time just skimming through the book together. I also showed him the It Gets Better Project and talked to him a little about bullying. My strongest memories of high school are of being miserable and having suicidal ideation, and while I don't know at all if my brother feels similarly, he doesn't seem particularly enthusiastic about school, and he's getting a lot of pressure, both from teachers and from my mother, to perform better academically. I know this created a lot of stress and tension for me.
It has been a difficult balancing act, not wanting to project onto him my own history and my feelings about my mother, while at the same time wanting him to know that the world is a much bigger place than the small rural town he's in. He knows some of this already, having traveled quite a bit now and having spent a summer taking classes at a university in a major city. And God knows he's probably already been influenced by me through all the mischief I got into, which my mother has undoubtedly vented about to him (much as she used to vent about my father to me).
The other topic my mother stressed that I needed to address with my brother was the SATs. She has continuously prodded me to help my brother better prepare for the SATs, to give him tips, help him with practice problems, and encourage him to study the many prep books she's bought.
And I was loathe to do any of this, waiting until the night before I left to grudgingly take a look at a book with him. I felt badly about being so reluctant, but that reluctance was not because I was lazy or didn't want my brother to do well. I have a very strong opinion of the standardized testing, and while I've done SAT tutoring, I absolutely hate the test and think it's an unfortunate standard to have in our education system. All that said, I did pretty well on the test myself, and I actually tend to do well on tests like this. But I also tried to make the point to my mother that I never even studied before I took the test the first time, and that was only the end of my sophomore year. My brother is currently a sophomore. I personally think he has plenty of time to prepare.
So when we sat down together with the 2-inch thick prep book, I instead spent the entire time explaining how to study the test itself – its format, the way points are tallied, how to guess and eliminate choices. I told him he has plenty of time to study the actual content of the test.
And when my mother asked how our study session went, I assured her that he would be fine. She seemed unconvinced and still worried about him. The conversation we had around this has left me feeling frustrated ever since. She explained all the ways my brother wasn't prepared for college, from his lack of awards from competitions to his lack of leadership roles in any organizations. She lamented about him not being competitive or aggressive enough in seeking these things out.
And then she told me I needed to help him. She related a story of a friend's daughter, who was very self-motivated and got into MIT without needing outside help. But her younger brother was the complete opposite, with his parents assigning him private tutors and consultants to prep him for college, and still he wasn't accepted to MIT. His sister intervened, using her legacy status and asking the admissions office what he needed to get in. They told her, and he was able to get in.
So, my mother concluded, it behooved me to help my brother reach his goals, because he simply wasn't like me, self-motivated and a self-starter. I'm not quite sure where my mother got this opinion of me, because I don't remember ever being called that before. Regardless, I left for San Francisco the next day, feeling guilty for not being more supportive (what a horrible sister am I?) while simultaneously still believing that he is the only person who can decide how to form his life, and that I should not be so involved as to direct the path he should take.
I always downplay my own educational background to my brother, where my mother likes to ask him if he wants to get into my alma mater. I tell him it doesn't matter, there are so many great schools – and great programs – and that he shouldn't focus on the Ivy brand name. My mother used to tell me I'd never get into anything better than the local state university when I got a less than stellar grade.
So there is this constant back and forth, with my brother unfortunately caught in the middle. I'm not sure what step to take – if I should take any at all. We don't speak often when I'm in San Francisco – partially my own aversion to phone calls, partially because he almost never has his cellphone on him anyway. I do think I should be more intentional in being a part of his life; I'm just not sure what role I should play.
Of course, while I am sorting all this out in my head (and agonizing over it in conversations with Max), my brother's life continues to play out. He's already grown up so quickly without me there a lot of the time. I feel an almost maternal guilt for not being around more.
Life update
It's funny how it's when my life is joyful and fairly content that makes for the most boring and sparse blog posts. I wrote a lot more when I was more morose, unhappy, or lonely, it seems. Added to the general feeling of contentedness is the fact that I've just been consumed with other life happenings, and so I don't often find the time or space to write here.
Because busy I have certainly been. There was the week of family Thanksgiving back on the East Coast, the flight back to San Francisco, and the flight up to Seattle two days after that. I spent the extended weekend with Max, and there is plenty to talk about there, except I came home and was immediately thrown into host-mode as a college friend was visiting San Francisco for a few days. I spent a couple wonderful days with her and the friends she was with, exploring parts of the city I've long neglected.
Still, it's nice to carve out some time for myself this week, and I have been catching up on all the mundanities of life that constantly need attention, boring as they are to mention. I'm trying to become more organized – in the space I take up, the physical objects I own, and the way I generally go through life. I've coasted well enough so far, but that will only carry me so far before I start floundering.
Foremost on my mind is wondering where I will be, this time next year. I have, for the past five or so months, been making moves to apply to a certificate program in Seattle. That portfolio is still underway, and I've just discovered that I in fact can't apply for their Fall 2011 enrollment until the spring. This leaves me a lot of time to think over what, exactly, my life will look like for the next couple of years.
I recently read this journal entry of one Neil Gaiman, and once you get past the funny (and cute) photos of Neil in a ridiculous number of layers of clothes, he answers letters he gets from his readers. The two letters on being creative writing majors had me drawing a lot of parallels to my own experience in the arts department. I found a similar discouragement to draw anything fantastical – though I admit some of that was self-censoring, because the curricula were fine arts oriented, which often holds a very strong bias against graphic design, illustration, and cartoon art. I struggled with conceptual art and art theory because I was more interested in creating characters and caricatures, and seriously had no illusions of creating any deeper meaning to my work.
I have been interested in this particular Seattle program because it is for natural science illustration, and I think it would help any kind of illustration I choose to do in the future. I also believe I currently have the ability to draw from life and draw to anatomical standards, and could do this without shelling out tuition money and uprooting the life I am building for myself in San Francisco.
On the other hand, I have pretty compelling reasons to want to be in Seattle as well…
Bah. It's late, I'm rambling. I think it's time to go to bed…

Roy McKnight Hockey Center
Home to SSA's ice hockey teams, the Roy McKnight Hockey Center features an NHL-sized ice surface and is regularly regarded as one of the best regulation surfaces in Western Pennsylvania. Having our own on-campus arena means SSA hockey teams have priority ice time for afternoon practices and home games – no fighting for ice time at a community rink halfway across town! SSA's hockey teams enjoy newly renovated boys and girls locker rooms, a video classroom and weight room, all housed within the center. The facility also has two scoreboards, an elite sound system and visiting locker rooms. The center has balcony seating for up to 600 hockey fans.
In the warm weather, after the ice is melted, the center serves as a venue for large school and community events such as Middle School Closing Exercises and the annual Untucked Music Festival.
Mellon Pool
Mellon Gymnasium
Mellon Gymnasium is home to the SSA boys and girls basketball teams. The gym's Peter Sauer '95 Court is named in honor of the late SSA alumnus and Stanford basketball star. It seats up to 600 fans and has six practice hoops. The building also houses Mellon Pool (see above) and the SSA Athletic Department Offices.
Curry Gymnasium
Curry Gymnasium is adjacent to Mellon Gymnasium and is used by the entire community for almost any indoor activity, from practices to science experiments. The gym includes bleachers that seat 250 and eight practice hoops. The building is also home to the SSA athletic training office.
Wiegand Squash Courts
Kassling & Lower Tennis Courts
Beckwith Baseball Field
Softball Field
Squaw Run Grass Fields
Known around campus as "the far fields," multiple grass fields sit on the edge of the Senior School campus off Squaw Run Road East, just down the road from the Middle School campus. The fields are used by lacrosse, field hockey and soccer teams for practices and games, and include bleachers for fans.
Cross Country Course
Middle School Campus
The SSA Middle School campus in Fox Chapel features a gymnasium and two grass fields, which are used for athletic practices and games, as well as PE classes and school events. The gym is home to the Middle School boys and girls basketball teams and has six hoops and retractable bleachers. The grass fields include one practice field and one regulation field for soccer and lacrosse practices and games.

Ahh, but twas just a few moments ago 2009 was starting. Where has the year gone? I can't remember Easter. Did we have it already?
With the start of a new year we make resolutions we are unlikely to keep – lose weight, get fit, stop procrastinating and get on with study instead of idling away hours on the computer – umm, where were we? – ah, yes, new years resolutions.
What will yours be?

December 8, 2015 - A study conducted by Stéphane Cyr and Martin Riopel, professors in the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Education, respectively, at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), shows that the mobile video game Slice Fractions significantly improves student performance, in record time. In addition to being effective, this game, designed by Ululab to introduce children to fractions, is notable for its pedagogical quality and its design excellence, as recognized by prestigious Editors' Choice and Best of 2014 mentions on Apple's App Store.
« After years of research and development in collaboration with UQAM, we finally have proof that our game helps children grasp fractions, a key concept in math learning, while playing on their own, » said François Boucher-Genesse, head designer of the video game and co-founder of the young company established by graduates of UQAM's Faculty of Education.
In conjunction with the unveiling of the results of this study, Ululab is announcing a major update of Slice Fractions, with 32 new puzzles, a redesigned navigation interface, and compatibility with the latest version of Apple TV.
Rigorously measured improvement
The study was conducted among 139 grade-three students, divided into three groups: the first received traditional teaching; the second played Slice Fractions in class in addition to traditional teaching; and the third only played the Ululab game in class. The impact of the game on learning was measured using questions on fractions drawn from Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), a standardized test used to evaluate and compare students around the world. The two groups who used Slice Fractions showed greater and more significant improvement in performance than the students who received only traditional teaching.
Researchers amazed at the results
« What surprised us most it is that Slice Fractions promotes a learning transfer of abstract concepts that are not directly covered in the game, » explained Stéphane Cyr, Mathematics professor at UQAM Department and principal researcher of the study.
The greatest progress and the largest effect size were observed for a subset of questions that did not offer students any visual support. This clearly demonstrates that the students were able to transfer their learning, even for abstract notions, although Slice Fractions is a game based primarily on manipulation, procedures and visual representations.
High-speed learning
The speed with which the game improves the understanding of fractions was another unexpected element of the study. « Three hours of play in the classroom were sufficient to enable our third-grade subjects to achieve a level of performance comparable to that of fourth-grade students in the United States and Quebec, » noted Martin Riopel, professor in UQAM's Department of Didactics of and co-investigator on the study. The improvement is achieved in record time when compared to usual classroom teaching and gives a head start to children who use the game.
For additional details and results, see this three-minute video summary.
Effective and fun
Slice Fractions offers children aged 6 to 12 exciting challenges in a colourful, intriguing world inhabited by loveable characters. The game is available on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, as well as on most Android devices.
Ululab Inc., founded by graduates of the UQAM Master's in Education, develops sophisticated applications based on the best current pedagogical approaches.

We must always decide which of life's functions to do ourselves
and which to have others who are specialists do for us. Arguably, the
specialist can do a better job with fewer mistakes. People who choose
us to manage their money understand that we have specialized knowledge
that can help direct them and their money toward a happier, more prosperous
and more carefree life.
Anyone with some money to invest or save and a desire to build an investment
or savings account is a potential client. Tolerance for risk is of less
importance. We make money work effectively and efficiently. All that is
required is a time horizon (the length of time money can be invested before
needing some or all of it) that is one year or more.
We add little value to people who have been doing their own investing
for years and who feel very comfortable doing so, except to take part
of the load from them. We also don't add a lot of value to people
who choose to keep only CDs in their portfolios. All others are candidates
for our services.
There are two elements to this question. First, we cannot do anything
to client accounts except buy and sell, take fees and cause money to flow
to the account holder at the address of record without expressed client
permission. Second, risk strategies keep us from going outside the boundaries
desired by our clients.
We have no minimum, but want clients with small accounts to continue
to add to them.
It is costly for both vendors and us to maintain small accounts. That
said, we have a commitment to help people get started with investing.
We believe that our fees are lower than most other investment advisors.
It is rare to have a $100,000 account incur fees of less than 1.25% as
ours do.

No. We are a Registered Investment Advisor. That term refers to someone
who either consults on accounts or manages them for a fee, usually one
based on the value of the accounts under advisement or management.
Stock brokers historically have made money from buying and selling securities.
We make nothing except the fees our clients pay us.
Risk is relative. Over a span of 20 years, money has not been lost in a diversified
stock portfolio since figures began to be kept in 1926. Common stocks,
in general, can be volatile in shorter periods of time, though. Further,
some stocks prove to be worthless as business failures occur. That said,
business failures tend to occur among smaller, less experienced and capitalized
companies than in more established ones. We diversify the risk of business
failure by investing in regulated invested companies, each containing
fifty or more companies.
Absolutely. We will show you how to combine non-volatile investments to reduce risk of loss.

will help you do the rest.

My heart was heavy when our researchers reported to me about the stories shown on a CNN television special called Atheists: Inside the World of Non-Believers. This TV special looked into the lives of several atheists including a college student raised by Christian parents, a clergyman in a Christian denomination, a Harvard Divinity School student, and the leader of an atheist congregation who used to be a Pentecostal preacher. These stories represent real people who are living their lives according to the lie of atheism that they firmly believe, and truly their stories are heartbreaking for those of us who know the truth.
During the special, the parents of a college student and atheist activist said, "what our desire was for them . . . [was] that [our sons] grow up to be godly men." But the story continues with, "Not far from home . . . on the campus of the University of North Georgia . . . the Gormley son has chosen a life without God . . . David Gormley is an atheist . . . He rejects almost everything his parents believe about God and religion." Later on, the reporter interviewed a clergyman who has been a closet atheist for 15 years and yet continues to preach before his congregation every Sunday morning. He described the moment he realized he didn't believe, "I was having a lot of turmoil with the church . . . and I was thinking about the upcoming sermon, and I thought, 'I don't believe this.' And then I thought, 'I don't believe anything.'"
Sadly, stories like this are only increasing in America. In the TV special, CNN reported a statistic that we know all too well that "59% of people who grow up in a Christian home are going to walk away on some level. They're either going to become ex-Christians or they're going to become de-churched."
At AiG we've conducted our own research and discovered that over 60% of our young people are walking away from the church and often the Christian faith across America. The research, published in my coauthored book Already Gone, details many of the reasons behind this mass exodus. Many young people are leaving the church because they have questions that have never been answered. They doubt the authority of God's Word from the beginning and many are quitting the faith because of it. Likely many of the people featured in this special had the same kinds of doubts and questions but didn't receive solid biblical and scientific answers to those questions.
This is why we at Answers in Genesis do what we do. We want to equip the church to stand on the authority of God's Word from the very beginning and provide solid answers for the skeptical questions of this age. We pray that God will use us to help lower that almost two-thirds statistic and help bring people into the family of God by our unapologetic proclamation of the gospel.
And, praise the Lord, we often hear from people who have had their lives forever changed because God brought AiG resources into their lives. Recently I shared the story of a gentleman from the Netherlands who was seriously doubting the Christian faith. He had received teaching that compromised Genesis with millions of years and evolution, and he ended up leaving Christianity altogether. But, eventually, he found our website and was able to get solid, uncompromising answers to the questions that he had, and his faith in God and in His Word was restored. I encourage you to read his full testimony here. People all over the world like him are why we do what we do!
Sometimes it's easy to get upset or frustrated with atheists, especially the aggressive, militant individuals. But we need to remember that they are people desperately in need of the grace of God just as we all once were. These are real people with real souls who will spend eternity somewhere. We need to compassionately reach out to these individuals with love and solid, biblical and scientific answers to their questions and objections. It's likely that you know, live beside, or work with some of these secular individuals. I encourage you to look for opportunities to engage with them about the authority of the Bible and the precious message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. You can watch the promotion of the CNN special here.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

What You Need to Know
Common Gate Components:
Fence Post - Vertical support from which the hinge and gate hangs. The post also attaches to the fence panel.
Gate Upright - Vertical part of the gate where you mount the hinge arm. Size varies based upon the dimension and style of the gate.
Gate Width and Weight - Width is the horizontal measurement of the gate. This measurement, along with the weight of the gate, will determine the load capacity your hinge can support.
Gate Material - Common gate materials include wood, vinyl, aluminum and steel.
All of the Boerboel products go through rigorous testing to make sure they support our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Testing Type One
Cycle Testing
Any of our hinges that offer manual or self-closing options must go through and surpass 10-year full-cycle testing with 5 openings and closures a day. A cycle is defined as a full open/close segment; this testing duplicates, in accelerated form, the use a customer would subject the product to in the average lifetime of the product. To ensure endurance and performance under normal and maximum conditions of usage, the hinges are tested in various stages and under different conditions, from temperature variants to degree of closure. We also have products being tested and monitored in the field.
Testing Type Two
Salt Spray
All of our Boerboel gate solutions go through industry standard ASTM B117 Salt Spray testing and surpass to support our limited lifetime warranty. B117 is the standard for testing corrosion resistance. We simulate exposure to a corrosive environment such as a seaside location, testing for variables such as salt, temperature, and humidity. In general, 1000 hours equates to 15 years of generic environmental exposure.

Enter RAM memory size in GB 16
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Malfoyirl
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible. milosxdd
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? Bloodhound (not sure if other, issue happened 3 times)
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? Pathfinder
Where did the issue occur? Returning to the lobby after a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Between dying and going back to menu
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Leaving the game
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? No
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? I'm not sure
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 07.06.19 22.00 (somewhere around that time) and 08.06.19 11:40 CET
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
How severe is your issue? Little to no impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? I get no EXP at all but it counts like I did get it. The first game I did today and got top 5 I got no EXP, the first time I got EXP in a top 5 I didn't get the bonus level.
What should be happening instead? I should be getting my EXP
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure. I believe I played bloodhound when it happened at least 2 out of 3 times. I also just bought the battle pass and played with a squadmate for extra exp when it happened but got none at all. Also everytime it happened I was in the top 5.
If possible it'd be really nice if I could get some of the lost levels back. I don't have much time to play and I paid for the battle pass so I could actually get the rewards and that doesn't work when I get no EXP. I already tried directly chatting with support for this but they sent me to the forums.
Also with often I say, I mean often when getting top 5 with a premade squad. Short games don't seem to be affected as far as I can tell but they're also less noticable since I don't miss out on 8+k exp/
Are you leaving the game before you are killed or before the respawn ability times out?
Sorry for the incredibly late reply (only just got a notification about this thread at all) but no I never leave before it times out

New Law for Older
Florida Timeshare Resorts
The ARDA-Resort Owners' Coalition (ARDA-ROC) has provided
legislation that supports sustainable tools for older, or "legacy", resorts and
its owners in Florida. Effective immediately, the new law will allow timeshare
Homeowners' Associations (HOAs) to effectively manage terminated resorts,
provide reasonable processes for older resorts to continue to thrive, and
clarify the property rights of timeshare owners.
"Florida timeshare owners need to know what comes next for their
older, but beloved resorts. This legislation will give associations the proper
guidance when deciding the next step of the resort's lifecycle," says Chris
Stewart, State Affairs Managing Director for the American Resort Development
Association and ARDA-ROC.
Dozens of legacy resorts in Florida, and a corresponding estimated
300,000 owners, have timeshare plans that are set to expire within the next few
years. In many cases, little or no guidance was available for these resorts to
continue operation, or move them into the next phase of their lifecycle. This
legislation gives owners the opportunity to extend the timeshare plans on
legacy resorts through practical changes in voting requirements. For timeshare
plans that will terminate, it allows the HOA board to continue to act as
representative of the owners in order to handle post-termination activities.
Lastly, the bill clarifies language regarding each owner's right to dispose of
their timeshare as they choose.
Since the timeshare industry's earliest days, Florida has been a
leader in the development of timeshare as a vacation option, acting as a
bellwether for advancements to the industry's product, structure and regulation.
This legislation solidifies ARDA-ROC's continued leadership in supporting Florida
as an industry pioneer, especially when dealing with lifecycle issues for older
The timeshare industry is a vital part of the state's hospitality
and tourism community and continues to make significant contributions to the
local economy. In 2015, the Florida timeshare industry produced 106,158 jobs, $14.9
billion of economic output, $5 billion in labor income, and $865 million in
state and local tax revenue.

Cassette Player Reviews:
Thank you so much to Cassette Player for their fantastic performance at our wedding. You got everybody up and dancing and all our guests said how much they loved the music.
Wow! Cassette Player you were brilliant. Thanks High Row for organising the perfect music for our reception. They played all our favourite songs and kept everyone entertained all evening.
The band were absolutely incredible – I cannot rate them highly enough! The dance floor was full nearly all night which was exactly what we had hoped for and this is largely because of them! We have had so many comments from guests to say what a great band they were! They really were amazing and they were lovely guys too – I am glad they enjoyed it and id be grateful if you could pass on our thanks 🙂
Bjorn and Luce were perfect for the processional. Hannah walking down the aisle to their cover of Stand By Me had a lot of people in tears! They were extremely professional, especially given they ended up sitting through the entire service! Unfortunately I didn't hear much of their set during the reception drinks as I was off getting photographs with family, but what I did hear was brilliant. Her voice is amazing, and along with Bjorn's guitar playing, it really suited the atmosphere. The band were incredible. The dance floor was full from the very first song. Extremely talented bunch of musicians! The sound was great, the set list was brilliant, and the band were very professional. I can honestly say they are one of the best weddings/cover bands I've ever seen.
If I could do it all again I wouldn't change anything about the music that Bjorn, Luce & Cassette Player played on the day.
