Another pokemon fanfic with the main pairing Lunick X Solana (or Rangershipping). This pairing is somehow rare, but was hinted in the first ranger game.
Summary from FanFiction.net: Takes place 4 years after Lunick had captured Entei. Lunick and Solana was sent to get Manaphy egg back and find the person who could take care of the egg. Who would they ask? And what happened if they were forced to show their feelings for each other?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story!
Pokemon Ranger The Ringtown Duo!
Chapter 1 Battle, legendary dogs! ... Or is it?
The sky of Fiore was full of dark clouds. Those dark clouds came from a very high place, the highest in Fiore, the Fiore Temple. On the foot of the temple, there were two rangers in their teenage years. One was a teenage boy with blue eyes and dark blue hair. The other one was a teenage girl with red eyes and light blue hair.
Go-Rock Squad, youre going down! the boy yelled, then turned to the girl beside him. Solana, are you ready?
Yeah! I got your back, Lunick! the girl whose name was Solana replied.
Lets go and kick some Go-Rock butt! the boy whose name was Lunick ran towards the stairs that lead to the top of the temple with Solana following him on the back. Solana giggled a bit when Lunick said kick some Go-Rock butt but he didnt notice her giggling.
Lunick and Solana climbed up the stairs to reach the top, but soon stopped by a top ranked grunt who was with a Bayleef, a Quilava, and a Croconaw.
Well, well, well! What do we have here? A happy ranger couple, going on a date! How sweet! the grunt laughed as the teen rangers looked away from each other, blushing madly.
A while after that, Solana snapped out of it and looked back at the grunt. Um, w-what are you guys up to? Solana said, her face was still a bit hot.
Heh, itll be a surprise! the grunt looked at the top of the temple and grinned evilly. And it looks like our boss is done up there, but I still wont let you pass from here! Go, pokemon! the grunt sent Bayleef, Quilava, and Croconaw at the teen rangers.
Dont worry Lunick, I got them! You go on ahead while I take care of them here! Solana pulled out her Capture Styler.
No, Solana! I can capture them by myself! Lunick was about to pull out his styler but Solana held his styler back, preventing him from using it.
No, save your stylers energy for whatever is waiting for us up there! Solana paused, Plus, I wanted to show you how great I can be! Solana winked at Lunick before turning to the trio 2nd stage Johto starters.
Solanas Plusle ran to her side to help her captures. During the capture, Lunick was quite speechless by watching her. Solana drew loops to capture them one by one carefully with Plusles help. Lunick was even more speechless when Solana finished her captures without even damaging her styler. But Lunick wasnt the one who was speechless by the capture.
What the ? But how ? Huh, fine! Go on ahead and see if you can stop us! Youre just going to give up your jobs as rangers! the grunt then laughed evilly while going down the stairs.
Both Lunick and Solana looked at each other nervously. After several seconds, Lunick closed his eyes and smiled a little. I know that Ive wanted to become a ranger ever since I was just a kid, and here I am, wearing my own ranger uniform and doing a real ranger mission. I dont want this to end so quickly, but dont really care what happens to me up there because I have to protect the people I hold dear from any kind of danger! Solana was surprised at what Lunick had just said. She didnt know how much he wanted to protect the people he loved.
The two then walked towards the stairs that would lead them to the top of the temple.
Lunick, are you ready? I can feel that theres something bad up ahead. Solana said as Lunick nodded.
The two climbed up the stairs as their partners, Plusle and Minun, held onto their rangers shoulders. Once they reached the top, they saw 3 dog like beasts.
Huh? Arent they Raikou, Suicune, and Entei? What are those legendary pokemon doing here? Solana asked, before looking to the side to find an old man playing an organ with some monitors on it.
That was a very good question! the old man stood up and turned to the rangers. It looks like we have a very familiar face here, isnt that right, boy?
Wait a minute are you Gordor!? Lunick said, a bit surprised to see him.
Thats right, boy! Im Gordor, the old man that you escorted out of Lyra Forest. Gordor replied.
W-What!? But Lunick, why did you Solana was interrupted.
He tricked us! I cant believe that he was actually the boss of Go-Rock Squad! Lunick yelled angrily.
I cant believe it myself that you rangers are very stupid! Gordor laughed as Lunick and Solana growled angrily. Okay, now thats enough chatting! Let me introduce you to the Super Styler that Hastings was planning make, the styler organ! The styler organ, its wonderful music can capture and control every kind of pokemon in Fiore, even your Plusle and Minun!
Mai mai!
Pla plah!
We wont let you do it! You cant take anyones pokemon for yourself! Lunick stepped forward.
Huh, fine then! Your Plusle and Minun are worthless anyway, I already have caught 3 legendary beasts! With them, Ill shower Fiore with thunderstorms, rainstorms, and fire storms! Go-Rock Squad will come to the rescue and replace you rangers! Raikou, Suicune, Entei, finish them off! Gordor commanded.
The 3 legendary beasts charged at Solana and Lunick, who had their capture stylers ready. Suddenly, Entei jumped high and ready to knock Lunick off the temple. When he saw that, Lunick couldnt move a muscle because of fear. Solana was pretty busy herself with Suicunes clones. When she looked at where Lunick was standing, she saw that Lunick had already been knocked off the top of the temple by Entei!
Mai mai! Minun looked at his fallen ranger desperately with his watery eyes.
NOOO!!! Solana yelled as tears started to fall down from her eyes.
Cliffhanger! More chapters will come later, but the update might be slow.

This book is entertaining, and though it isn't the ideal read for fans of the "Inkheart" trilogy because it is written for younger readers, those younger readers will certainly turn the pages eagerly.
As always Cornelia Funke has thought up another original idea. She has based many of the facts on reality which makes it more believable. The characters are interesting and the setting (Salisbury) works perfectly. However, those who have come to expect something a little special from Cornelia Funke might be disappointed.
Jon, our hero, doesn't like the idea of going to boarding school in Salisbury but he is soon pursued by vengeful ghosts and meets Ella. They discover that the ghosts are pursuing him over an ancient murder.
I liked the use of historical characters and places which gave the story a new depth. By reading this book, readers will find that Salisbury is full of history - if you know where to look - which is why it suits this ghost story so well. For my taste, more description should have been used to make this story more chilling but perhaps younger readers will find the horror elements convincing.
The illustrations are well drawn, with a slightly gothic aspect to all of them. Andrea Offermann is very talented at drawing buildings, such as the vaulted ceilings of a cathedral. Some grotesque, some magnificent, they give the story another dimension.
As with many books this boy and girl, best friends, fighting dark force idea is slightly clichéd and the parts that describe ordinary life are not as compelling. Sometimes I thought that humour had been used in places where it wasn't appropriate. It was interesting to read the author's tips on ghost stories - she chose to go "Funny" when I thought that "Grim" would have suited the story better.
Complete with illustrations and history this book is quite light but still a worthwhile read for a wet Sunday afternoon.

Shares of Sonoco Products Co. (SON), a global manufacturer of consumer and industrial packaging products, reached a new 52-week high of $44.00 on Jun 24. Sonoco has a market cap of $4.42 billion. Average volume of shares traded over the last 3 months stood at approximately 428K.
The company has delivered a 1-year return of about 30.97%, outperforming the S&P 500. Sonoco has long-term estimated earnings per share growth rate of 6.93%.
What's Driving Sonoco Up?
Sonoco's shares have trended upward following its first-quarter earnings release on Apr 17. Adjusted earnings per share for Sonoco Products increased 4% to 50 cents in the quarter. A positive price/cost relationship, modest productivity improvements and lower pension and interest expenses helped offset lost production and lower sales due to severe winter weather across the U.S. and Canada.
For full-year 2014, Sonoco reiterated its earnings per share guidance range of $2.43 to $2.53. Free cash flow is anticipated to be around $130 million for 2014. Sonoco expects second-quarter 2014 earnings per share in the range of 63–67 cents. Compared with 59 cents earned in the prior-year quarter, this reflects annual growth of 7% to 14%.
After having a difficult run following the recession, the Display and Packaging segment's sales and profit improved in 2013 and the momentum has continued in the first quarter of 2014 as well. This is driven by volume increases in both international contract packaging and the U.S. display and packaging services. Furthermore, the new contract from Energizer Holdings Inc. (ENR), awarded in April, also supported results.
The annual $20 million Energizer contract is a major win for Sonoco, as it will leverage its segments in supplying e-packaging materials and will also provide packaging services. Sonoco foresees opportunity for other similar contract wins going forward. Furthermore, the pickup in promotional activity at the customer level signals an increased volume outlook for packaging goods.
The severe winter weather in January and February significantly disrupted Sonoco's operations as well as its customers'. However, with the weather improving, the company noted a significant rebound in demand followed by a return to a more normal and expected level of sales orders in March. Although overall volume was essentially flat, second-quarter earnings benefited from a 50 basis point increase in the company's overall gross margin due to a positive price/cost relationship.
On Jun 13, Sonoco's subsidiary, Sonoco-Alcore S.a.r.l., announced that the German Federal Court of Justice has rejected an appeal against the German portion of Sonoco's European Patent EP 1 071 556, thereby entirely reversing a decision of the Federal Patent Court of Mar 1, 2011. The patent relates to the use of wide-ply board technology in the production of cores for the paper industry as used in Sonoco's M-Core Series.
Per the decision, which is final and cannot be appealed, the patent is confirmed to have constantly been in force since it was granted in 2002. In other countries, the validity of the European patent has not been challenged to date. An opposition against the patent before the European Patent Office had been rejected in 2009.
The combination of the wide-ply in-house manufactured coreboard and Sonoco Alcore's proprietary manufacturing technique give the M-Series Cores superior performance characteristics to meet the rising demands of the paper industry.
Other Stocks to Consider
Sonoco currently retains a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Some better-ranked stocks in the same sector include Crown Holdings Inc. (CCK) and Graphic Packaging Holding Company (GPK), both of which hold a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Wow, Google is turning more into Apple day by day. Earlier today it was reported that Google was giving $1,000 in bonus cash to all 23,000 of its employees. Not only that, but Google was also planning on footing the tax bill on that generous gift so that each and every last Googler could keep the net amount of the bonus. And as if that weren't enough, Eric Schmidt told employees, via a leaked company-wide email, that everyone would be receiving a 10% raise in 2011.
Great news, right? I mean there are already an abundance of stories that center on how great it is to work for Google – how great the free food is etc. – and now we have yet another story of how Google treats its employees with the utmost generosity. If anything, you'd almost think that Google "leaked" the news purposefully.
Think again, my friends.
Writing for CNN, David Goldman reports that Google identified the engineer who spilled the beans regarding Google's holiday spirited generosity and promptly terminated him. Google alerted employees of its course of action in another company wide email that has yet to be leaked.

Promoting healthy and sustainable environments: opportunities for injury prevention
Pilkington, P. (2010) Promoting healthy and sustainable environments: opportunities for injury prevention. In: Safety 2010: World Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Conference, Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Westminster, London, UK, September 21st-24th, 2010. Available from: http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/14106
There is a renewed emphasis on the importance of place as a major health determinant, including the need to promote healthier and more sustainable environments and communities. This is in the main a response to two of the most pressing public health issues of our time; climate change and what has been termed the "obesity epidemic", both of which can only be addressed adequately through significant changes to our environment and way of life. This presentation identifies a number of injury prevention related initiatives that could be advanced by capitalising on the shared agendas of injury prevention, sustainability, and the need to promote physical activity, including the lowering of default speed limits in residential areas and the healthy design of residential developments. Public health professionals, often responsible for the wider health of their population, are ideally placed to facilitate shared agendas by bringing together the multi-agency and multi-professional groups required to take forward policies.

Ok, so this was a game held on the temporary forums while the new forums were being made. It was fun, and I thought it might be nice to host it here on Riddermark. To play, you must ban someone (usually the user who posted above your post, but you can ban anyone you like) for something silly or meaningless. (Credit for this goes to the OP in the Temporary Forums and to the Ps2 forums).
So, someone ban me.

McMillan Doesn't Want To See Jersey In OKC
Do you think Oklahoma City will still get his retired jersey?
Re: McMillan Doesn't Want To See Jersey In OKC
although all of the sonic memorabilia (retired jerseys, nba championship trophy, etc) is owned by clay bennett, i think the originals are staying somewhere in seattle and bennett will be able to show replicas in okc. i doubt he will have them on permanant public display there though
Re: McMillan Doesn't Want To See Jersey In OKC
That's one thing for Bennett to take the team but he can't the history of the team.
He should've treated the team he took as an expansion team. The history of the current team in OKC should have a blank slate.
LOL I am pretty sure Payton and Kemp would reject their jerseys retired in OKC.

Understanding Your Chakra System: The Heart
Within each of us lies a subtle energy system, through which our energy flows and expands, allowing us to shine from the inside out. Widely referred to as our Chakra System, this invisible yet wildly powerful network runs from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. And within this system are seven individual energy centers, known as your chakras. Each chakra is associated with certain parts of the body, as well as specific mental and spiritual components, to which it feeds energy. When balanced and nourished, our chakras open, allowing energy to flow in and out effortlessly, extending this vitality and abundance to all pillars of life. Our lifestyle, habits, diet, thoughts, words, emotions, relationships, and life experiences all profoundly affect our chakras. It is so important to our health, wealth, and happiness that we become aware of this energy system and how our own actions affect it. And so, we present to you the S-Life Understanding Your Chakra System series. Over the next seven weeks, we will introduce a different chakra (working our way up the body), and what you can do to elevate and sustain your unique and divine energy in each area.
Our heart chakra lies at the center of our seven energy systems, with three below and three above. It is here that the physical and spiritual aspects of our life merge, allowing us to operate our lives from a holistic and whole perspective. Not surprisingly, the fourth chakra, located at it's namesake (the heart), governs the flow of love in our lives. Our feelings of joy, warmth, compassion, love, and unity all originate in the heart chakra. From this space, we are able to form deep and loving bonds with others, as well as with ourselves.
The heart chakra is very much a unifying energy center. As previously noted, it is at our heart center that the physical and spiritual aspects our our lives and of ourselves meet and merge. This is the chakra of yang, or positive energy, connecting the lower chakras to the higher ones. Without this unification of body and soul, we would be incomplete. Similarly, it is here that we begin to recognize that we are are all connected in some way; we are all in this life together, and we are all so much more alike than we are different. By opening and balancing our heart chakra, we open ourselves to more meaningful relationships with others. A healthy heart chakra allows us to live fully in the moment, without fear of past hurts or grievances.
Even more important than our relationships with others is the relationship we have with ourselves. Do you treat yourself with the same respect, compassion, and unconditional love that you would a close friend or family member? How do you speak to yourself in the privacy of your own head? The amount of love we show ourselves is the amount of love that will surface in our lives. Make time to nurture your connection with your true self, and make self-love a daily practice in your life.
In almost every religion and tradition, love is referred to as the ultimate healing force, so it is of no surprise that the heart chakra serves as our healing center. Physically, this energy center oversees the health of our heart, lungs, breasts, cardiac plexus, and lymphatic system. More times than not, imbalances and health conditions in these areas can be tied to a closed or inactive heart chakra. It truly is of upmost importance to our minds, souls, and bodies to nurture and nourish this sacred center of healing.
When out of balance, you may experience: grief, anger, jealousy, fear of betrayal, feelings of hatred towards yourself or others, negativity, heart disease, high/low blood pressure, and poor circulation.
When properly balanced, you will experience: compassion, self-love, love for others, joy, positivity, ease in forgiveness, acceptance of others and yourself, generosity, and kindness.
So how do we go about balancing, nourishing, and loving this sacred energy system?
A healthy and balanced heart chakra vibrates that the radiant hue of green, making green veggies (our fave!) the ideal nourishment. Bring balance and healing energy to your heart chakra by consuming leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables daily! Some of our favorites include kale, spinach, arugula, dandelion greens, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, chard, bok choy, and garden herbs.

Having problems with your Toshiba Satellite A105 Notebook ?
I have a Sony RX560 computer and my hard drive has 15gb on drive "C" and 75gb on drive "D". is there a way I can use drive "D" to go on the internet and use drive "D" to download music and videos?
Answers :
When you download files/tunes etc, you may be able to select a folder on your D drive to save them (create the folders before you go onto the Internet).
\015\012If you cannot save them in the D drive folders, then save them on your C drive/Desktop and move them to the D drive folders after you exit the Internet.
\015\012If you cannot save them in the D drive folders, then save them on your C drive/Desktop and move them to the D drive folders after you exit the Internet.
I assume you meant use drive "C" to go on the internet. Drive C in windows is the standard partition where windows' important files are stored. By default, everything will run with files in C, including internet explorer. To put files on Drive D, open My Computer and go to your D drive, you can then drag and drop files from your desktop to your D drive.

Clark, T. and Floyd, S. and Wright, M. (2006) 'On the review process and journal development.', Journal of management studies., 43 (3). pp. 655-664.
This paper describes the editorial and review process currently operating at JMS and offers the Editors' perspective on the journal's growth over the past three years. We first outline what we think is the essence of a JMS article. Then, we describe the review process from the editor's initial decision, to the reviewers' comments, to the editor's final editorial decisions, and including the process of accepting a paper. We suggest four main reasons for rejecting a paper: lack of contribution, failure to develop a theoretical contribution, fatal flaws in methods and deficiencies in analysis. With respect to the journal's progress, we show that JMS has significantly increased its position in the ISI rankings to 19th and its impact factor to 1.180. In addition, the journal experienced a 222 per cent increase in submissions from 2003 to 2005.

Dinner in a Dorm--Recipe Ideas for College Students, Please!
Hi Everyone, Tonight was one of my proudest food moments, not because it was the best meal I ever made, but because I made it for some of the girls on my crew team, and they LOVED it! (I made eggplant slices braised in a homemade tomato sauce over whole wheat spaghetti.) So here's the thing. We had such a great time sharing a good meal, that we want to do this more often.
Does anyone have ideas for relatively inexpensive meals that require only a few ingredients for hungry college women?
Thank you so much!

West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen was hoping to find a starting quarterback during Saturday's spring game. Paul Millard and Ford Childress each had their moments during the game and tried to make a case to be the No. 1 guy. Millard threw touchdown passes of 10, 46 and 24 yards, while Childress connected with Jordan Thompson for a 65-yard scoring strike. If you're scoring at home and think you know who the starter will be in August, well, the spring game didn't make matters any clearer. But Holgorsen's best option may have been on the sidelines. On Saturday, former Florida State quarterback Clint Trickett was in Morgantown as he looks for a new program. Ex #FSU QB Clint Trickett is taking an official visit to #WVU this weekend, per source. He's eligible this fall. — Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) April 19, 2013 Trickett is familiar with WVU and Morgantown as he spent much of his youth in the city while his father, Rick, was the offensive line coach under Rich Rodriguez. He also coached at West Virginia from 1976-79, well before Clint was born. The Mountaineers might have the inside track for Clint, but there are reports that he's also interested in South Florida and Michigan. At FSU, Trickett was nothing more than a back up to E.J. Manuel, so there's little to go on in predicting his future success. Therefore, is Trickett and WVU a good fit? He would step right in and have more experience at the position than anyone currently on the roster. Trickett has started some big games and played against Oklahoma while in Tallahassee. He finished his FSU career by completing 66 of 106 passes for 947 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 games. He completed 62.3 percent of his passes. But the 6-foot-3, 185-pounder is a prototypical drop-back, pocket passer — not a horrible fit, but not necessarily ideal for Holgorsen's system. He needs a quarterback who can make quick reads and make quick throws. Trickett's size could also be an issue. Compared to quarterbacks like Manuel and West Virginia's Geno Smith, who will both get selected in the upcoming NFL Draft, Trickett looks like a junior high quarterback. That's not a knock on his ability, but rather his durability. It's hard to see how he can take the consistent pounding that comes with starting each week. If Trickett enrolls soon and gets on campus in May, that would give him plenty of time to start learning the WVU playbook. Holgorsen's system isn't simple, but someone with Trickett's knowledge of the game can learn it over the summer. He would also get an opportunity to work with some of the Mountaineers' young receiving corps and build up confidence. If Trickett does decide returning to Morgantown is in his best interest, there's a good chance that Childress will look to leave. We've seen the mixed results of these types of transfers at Wisconsin. Two years ago we watched Russell Wilson leave North Carolina State and lead the Badgers to the Rose Bowl and Big Ten title. Last year, Wisconsin won the conference championship again but Maryland transfer Danny O'Brien didn't factor much into it. Trickett is eligible to play right away because he will graduate this spring and he'll have two years of eligibility. Wherever he lands, Trickett will factor into the QB situation immediately.

The Turlock Unified School District has always emphasized its Career Technical Education programs by providing high school courses related to professions students may take an interest in, from agriculture to industrial technology. Now, Pitman High School students will have one more option to choose from next year when the school provides its first Sports Medicine course, giving pupils additional opportunities in the health science and medical technology pathway.
Turlock Unified School District Board of Trustees committed $1 million during their last meeting for anticipated improvements to both the Pitman High School track and the district's Joe Debely Stadium, located at Turlock High School, which will include replacing the stadium's turf as well as possibly repositioning Pitman's track.
Alisha Chakravarty isn't your average sixth grader. When the rest of her family is watching movies, she would rather write an essay, and even when she doesn't have a test, she's studying anyway. This work ethic recently paid off for the Julien Elementary School student when she finished as a Top 5 Finalist at the California State Elementary Spelling Bee last Saturday, lasting 11 rounds and showing off a vocabulary that even the most talented writers would envy.
Four special education students in the Turlock Unified School District's On Track Transitions Program walked the stage at Wednesday morning's graduation ceremony, concluding a journey that taught them valuable lessons they will use not only in their everyday lives, but as they enter the workforce as well.
The Irrigation Technology Program at Modesto Junior College marked a milestone on April 28, as the first graduates participated in the Commencement Ceremony. Upon completion of the program's second year, it awarded five Associate of Science degrees and 14 certificates of achievement. This is not only a first for MJC, but for California as well, because MJC's program is the first A.S. degree in irrigation technology in the state.
Stanislaus Military Academy's Ron Kunnen may be relatively new to the education field - he's only been teaching for five years - but he's already making a huge impact on his students and school. The dedication Kunnen has shown to education and making a difference in the community earned him the 2017 Juvenile Court, Community and Alternative Schools Administrators of California Teacher of the Year award.
As a teenager growing up in the 1960s, Connie Valverde had dreams of earning an education, starting a family and making a life for herself in the United States. Living in the heart of Mexico in Puebla City, roughly 86 miles south of Mexico City, Valverde seemed to be in route to achieving her goals when she was suddenly forced to withdraw from the Mexican school system.
Winning the 2017 JROTC National Air Rifle Championship in March was reward enough for the Turlock High School air rifle team, who went into the competition as underdogs, but Wednesday morning they received another wave of congratulations and recognition from Congressman Jeff Denham.
The sale of the first series of Bond Measures N and O brought good news for Turlock residents and students alike, as more funds than expected will be available for projects to improve the Turlock Unified School District at a less-than-anticipated cost to taxpayers.
The Yosemite Community College District finally has a new chancellor as the Board of Trustees unanimously selected Henry Chiong Vui Yong to fill the position. The Board is expected to officially approve the hiring of Yong at their June meeting and the new chancellor will begin in the position on July 1.
Pitman High School is home to some of the top artists in the 10th Congressional District, and they have the hardware to show for it after Pride students recently took home the top three spots in the Congressional Art Competition.
The Stanislaus County Fair is partnering with local classrooms to teach students about the importance of agriculture in the community.
Jenna Stone knows the ins and outs of being transgender. Over the course of her 13-year transition, she has endured the slurs and stares, the confusion and contention, and, thankfully, encouragement and acceptance from her peers. Having experienced the struggle first hand, Stone now hopes to help others accept and love themselves through the Stanislaus Transgender Support Group.
California 4-H is looking to boost its standing and help it win a national competition by building a network of 4-H alumni and friends.
As volunteers around the city got their hands dirty participating in Love Turlock, another community event gave back to the community in a different way. The third annual R.A.I.S.E. Festival was held in conjunction with the city-wide service program Saturday at the fairgrounds, raising awareness for children with special needs and providing services for their families.

Safe Downloading
Graboid is guaranteed virus, adware, and spyware free as tested by McAfee Site Advisor and Norton Safe Web. But what exactly does this mean and does it include what is downloaded within Graboid? In a nutshell, the Graboid program is safe, but the files you download on Graboid may not be. It's important that you're aware that videos downloaded may contain viruses that could infect your computer.
But, just because you might download a virus, doesn't mean your system will get infected. This is where Graboid helps. If you play a video in the application, by using the VLC player or streaming it directly, the virus will not be able to install itself in your system. But once you open the download outside of Graboid, be careful. We recommend you try and open any videos within the Graboid application first, if Graboid can't open it or stream it, and VLC can't either, use caution!
How can you help?
It's a good routine to always update your anti-virus software because of the amount of Malware and Spyware out there. Spyware is a type of malware that gets installed on computers to collect small pieces of information about the users, usually without the user's knowledge. And let's not forget, how difficult it can be to detect. There have been numerous programs designed to help remove or block spyware. But the best protection is to always inspect the contents you are installing or downloading before you're infected.
So always ensure you use anti-virus software and when you are downloading Graboid, make sure you download it from the Graboid website.
Q. Do you have any updates in place to add new payment plans to what you currently offer?
– Pete R.
A. Every month we receive comments regarding the current payment plans Graboid offers. Currently we have three payment plans, the Silver plan with 10GB a month, the Gold plan with 50GB a month, and the Diamond plan with 500GB a month. We are currently looking into other plans or possibly even adding a top up system, so if you currently have a 50GB plan and you find that it's not enough, you may be able to top up. Or, choose from a 150GB plan a month and find a happy medium between all plans. To help us understand what exactly you are looking for, take our Poll. This will help us address your needs. But we promise it has been noted.

The recent backlash against the recently released Last Call Working Draft of WCAG 2.0 is a representation of the frustration against it. The general outburst is against the irreverence for Web Standards in the guidelines. Other than that the original document is full of jargon and requires supporting documents (Understanding WCAG 2.0 and Techniques of WCAG 2.0) for full comprehension, it also seems to have lost the focus. In an attempt to incorporate the multitude of technologies playing today on the web, it seems to have gone against he basic purpose of accessibility – accessible to everyone.
Joe Clark has torn apart the guidelines, an output of five year effort by Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI):
In an effort to be all things to all web content, the fundamentals of WCAG 2 are nearly impossible for a working standards-compliant developer to understand. WCAG 2 backtracks on basics of responsible web development that are well accepted by standardistas.
WCAG 2.0 comes out with the concept of baselines. The baselines will be used to convey the necessary technologies to view the website. The onus of making content accessible to everyone has been changed to just declaring the technologies required, which does not guarantee access of content to everyone, but can satisfy the success criteria (a rename of guidelines). Inaccessibility to be compensated by baselines! The result of this is that now we can expect future websites to be completely done in flash without providing alternate content. So, no guarantee that visually challenged users can access websites, or that users without Flash plugins can still use them. Joe Clark discusses the details to respond to WCAG 2.0.
WCAG 2.0 seems to have ignored even the Web Standards. Valid markup is no more a requirement! Instead the suggestion is to make sure that the DOM output is consistent in all the browsers. So, instead of creating a standard interface for valid markup to which both website authors and browsers can comply to, the authors can now use invalid markup but they have to test it against multiple browsers!
In an era of Web 2.0, where more and more focus is on the user, WCAG 2.0 seems to have been written for user agents and devices rather than for the users. It ensures accessibility for these devices, not for the users.

They've helped lead View Park into the CIF Southern California Division V semifinals. View Park plays at San Diego Horizon on Tuesday. The other semifinal has San Gabriel Academy playing Sherman Oaks Buckley.
Comanche is averaging 12.7 points and 14.3 rebounds. Jones is averaging 10.2 points and 11.3 rebounds. Both played at St. Bernard as freshmen.
"It's a privilege to have two 6-11 young men who are in position to keep growing as individuals and basketball players," Coach Harold Jones said.
Comanche and Jones will be guests on the SoCal Prep Report on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. on LA36 and at 6:30 p.m. on Friday on KLCS.

ACC, Big East Football Preview: Saturday's Key GamesOctober 14, 2010
Boston College at No. 16 Florida State (12:00 ET)
THE LINE: Florida State -22
THE PLOT: Boston College is facing more quarterback concerns than arguably any other BCS school. Freshman Chase Rettig is paced to make another start, his first since recovering from a minor injury and benching. The Eagles have lost three consecutive games, marking it the longest losing streak since 1998, when it lost six in a row.
The Seminoles have their own streak going as well. Florida State has won four consecutive games since losing 47-17 to No. 10 Oklahoma. During that streak, FSU has outscored opponents by an average margin of 25.8 points. Quarterback Christian Ponder and running back Jermaine Thomas have led the Seminoles by performing above expectations over the course of the win streak.
THE PICK: The Eagles possess the league's worst passing defense, but have been No. 1 in stopping the rushing attack. Having the best rush preventing defense is great, but Florida State can both pass and run.
Thomas has led a Seminoles backfield that has averaged nearly 260 rushing yards per game the past four bouts. Boston College is giving up just 80 rushing yards per game, so this match can really go either way. If the runs aren't there, then Ponder can reach his receivers.
The Seminole quarterback has thrown for six scores and a lone interception during the winning streak.
Hailing from Massachusetts, I am all too familiar with the Boston College program. I think the Eagles are one of the most efficient and refined teams in the nation, but this is truly an ugly stretch. Not having a consistent quarterback can kill a team, and calling up a freshman scout team player to fill a depth chart void is not promising.
THE SCORE: Florida State 38, Boston College 13
Pittsburgh at Syracuse (12:00 ET)
THE LINE: Syracuse -1
THE PLOT: It isn't every week that you see the Orange lined as a favorite to win a game, especially against a Football Bowl Subdivision team. So for the Orange to be favored in a game against Pittsburgh boggles my mind.
The last time Syracuse was favored against a Football Bowl Subdivision team not from the Mid-American Conference, you would have to look back to 2006 when the Orange were a one-point favorite over Connecticut.
I know that Syracuse has played some great football--the 4-1 start is the best since an 8-2 start in 2001--but reality has to hit the Panthers at some point. Dave Wannstedt has been criticized more as a head football coach than most any other professionals within their respective line of work. The Panthers have started out just 2-3, but are nine points shy of being 4-1 with its lone loss a 31-3 beat down from then-No. 19 Miami (FL).
THE PICK: Pittsburgh finds solidarity in a convincing Big East-opening win. What? You thought Pittsburgh's season was over?
THE SCORE: Pittsburgh 28, Syracuse 17
Army at Rutgers (East Rutherford, 2:00 ET)
THE LINE: Rutgers -7
THE PLOT: Neither team is having the season it imagined.
Rutgers was supposed to ride sophomore quarterback Tom Savage to the top of the Big East in a down-year for the league. The Scarlet Knights barely won two games, one at Florida International and another in New Brunswick. Then there's the Tulane game, a 17-14 inexplicable loss; a game that saw Savage go down with an injury.
As for the Black Knights of West Point, wins have come often and easily. Army won unconvincingly at Eastern Michigan, then dropped a three-point game to a tough, high-scoring Hawaii team at home. Then the Knights shut-out North Texas and won notably at Duke. A one-score loss at home to a tough MAC team in Temple was the lone skirmish before Army destroyed Tulane 41-23 in New Orleans.
The four wins for the Black Knights is one shy of last year's total of five, and Army actually still has a chance to reach ten wins for the first time since 1996.
THE PICK: This battle of Knights is going to come down to turnovers and field position. The game will be played at the New Meadowlands Stadium, home to the NFL's New York Jets and New York Giants. With the game being played on such a grand stage, home field advantage may not necessarily be a factor.
These two schools have played each of the past three seasons, with Rutgers winning each game. This Saturday's outcome will be different though.
THE SCORE: Army 21, Rutgers 17
Straight up: 4-2
Vs. spread: 2-3-1
Straight up: 18-4
Vs. spread: 8-13-1
(I failed to predict scores before Week One, but if you would like to count my predictions on Week One from an outside source, you can add the following: Straight up 2-1, Vs. spread 0-3.)

No, it wasn't a penalty on Pugh. The Giants' first-round draft choice was poised to take his first-ever snap in an NFL game with 4:13 remaining in the second quarter when it appeared the Giants had a first-and-goal at the one. But the officials picked up their flags after ruling that wide receiver Ramses Barden was not interfered with in the end zone. The down and distance changed to third-and-nine. So Pugh trotted off.

Photos: Giants vs. Colts
"We have this jumbo package and I got to go in," Pugh said. "And then the penalty got taken away, so I had to run back off the field."
Pugh's debut was merely delayed, not denied. He entered the game with 45 seconds remaining in the half and played left tackle through the end of the third quarter in the Giants' 20-12 preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts in MetLife Stadium.
"It was awesome," Pugh said. "It was awesome to get out there with the guys and finally play. You get those jitters out of the way. It was great to get out there and compete. I was able to get in there in the second quarter, get some points up on the board (Josh Brown's 45-yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter). But obviously, it's tough going from starting to having to come in late in the second."
Pugh started at left tackle all 34 games in which he played at Syracuse before the Giants selected him with the 19th overall pick of the 2013 draft. Now he's getting accustomed to a part-time role. Pugh missed a week of practice and the preseason opener in Pittsburgh because of a concussion he suffered in practice. A right tackle before the injury, he was moved to the left side upon his return last week.
"I felt comfortable over there," Pugh said. "I think just knowing what I had to do definitely helped me out. I had some good plays, I had some not-so-good plays that I wish I could get back, but I think overall, definitely learning from this I'll be able to get better next week. I'm just excited to get out there and practice and correct some of the mistakes I had."
He did have a few. Pugh spent most of his time blocking one of three Colts - rookie linebackers Caesar Rayford and Bjorn Werner and third-year defensive end Lawrence Guy. He held his own on some plays, but Rayford got by him to sack David Carr.
"I think I did all right," Pugh said. "I had some real good plays there. Obviously that one, that one with the sack, you've just got to keep getting better and keep working on your technique. I definitely feel like I had more positive plays than negative. There are a couple of plays where obviously you wish you could get back, but you learn from those and you get better."
When the defense was on the field, Pugh huddled with his fellow linemen and line coach Pat Flaherty. During his spare moments, he conferred with 11-year veteran David Diehl, who has played every position on the line except center and is currently the right tackle.
"He was just telling me to use my hands, something that I've just got to keep getting better with, to strike," Pugh said. "You never want to catch when you're playing offensive line, so you want to strike and make sure you're confident in your set."
"You watch and you help each other out," Diehl said. "That's the thing, for a series I was sitting there watching him, watching his technique, seeing what different types of looks he has and just doing anything I can to help him improve on his technique. Last week, he wasn't able to play due to the concussion so this was actually his first live test. So I'm going to be out there watching him, trying to coach him up, seeing if there's anything I can do to help him throughout the game, because I've been in that same situation before. It's part of being a teammate and it's part of being an offensive lineman and a brother and being one of those older guys. You're here to support those younger guys and to help them out and make sure they're making strides to improve their technique and constantly making improvements."
Pugh could conceivably take on a larger and more significant role. Center David Baas suffered a sprained knee on the game's first series. Tom Coughlin did not have an update of Baas' status after the game. If he is sidelined for any length of time, it's conceivable the Giants will have to do some shuffling up front and Pugh could find himself in the mix.
For now, he's enjoying just playing pro football.
"It's kind of like being a freshman all over again," Pugh said. "You're in a new place, new surroundings, new locker room, you kind of have to learn what your role is within the team. It's been fun, though, just competing and getting better. I have a great group of guys in front of me, so it definitely helped me out. It's something where, next week, I'm excited to get out there and get some more snaps and play."

[img]http://wauterboi.com/img/266.png[/img] [QUOTE=NicoleEmilid;35014103]We should make a chat thread or something for us mappers. Also on topic, I am getting help for my wayward elevator! Ug![/QUOTE] Not that I'm the best candidate to start a thread, but I thought this was a pretty good idea since we totally managed to derail a thread with what music people listen to, and I thought it'd be neat if people could converse about their mapping habits, inspirations, and what not in here. Everyone happy with this? I'll edit the first post with this if everyone's okay with it: Things this thread is not: 1. This is not a thread for mapping questions, or at least questions along the lines of, "How do I get blah to do blah?" That thread would be in this section at the Mapping Question Megathread v3. 2. This is not a thread to show off your work in progress maps. Feel free to check out The Facepunch "Mapping Pimpage/WIP" Thread. 3. This is not a place for you to go full-retard with your posts. This is also not an absolute off-topic thread. 4. This is not. Things this thread is: 1. This thread is the place to discuss all of your habits, influences, and appreciations regarding mapping. 2. This thread is the place to discuss things like what you listen to while you map and things of that nature. 3. This thread is for everything that can't fit in the Map Pimpage or Mapping Question thread but is something worth posting. 4. This thread is basically loosely wrapped around mapping and gaming. If your post would fit better in here then you probably should move to that thread for your post. [QUOTE=Craptasket;36666126]yeah-ok how about keep it about mapping, gaming, anything related to that.

So I won 40 dollars at a casino today... Is this the type of stuff we discuss here? Oh haha nevermind, well in that case, let me just start this thread by saying that hammer is just a great tool, easy to use but complicated as well!
Yeah, but this thread serves as it's own kind of thread geared specifically towards mappers while still being too off-topic for things like the Map Pimpage thread and the Mapping Question thread. Examples of topics: What you listen to when you map, appreciation/discussion of other maps and the Source Engine, inspiration for maps... things of that nature. It's not terribly off topic for the other threads, but I think it'd be neat to separate that and keep it in it's own thread. If it doesn't work, oh well.
Any mumble, teamspeak, or ventrilo circles I'm not aware of?
[QUOTE=Yadda;35014563]Any mumble, teamspeak, or ventrilo circles I'm not aware of?[/QUOTE]I really wish there was a Facepunch IRC channel. I'm more of a type-it-out kind of person since I'm in the living room but I'm also down for Ventrilo.
I have a TS3 up (512 slots) with a few LoL brazilians players, I could setup a few channels for Facepunch mappers (server located in Germany). but yeah, awesome Pandora is awesome for music.
[QUOTE=GameDev;35014862][img]http://i.imgur.com/E9Yll.png[/img][/QUOTE] And that's why I've become more used to leaving Hammer open more and more as I go along and devote entire nights to my maps. :P
Time is measured in milliseconds :v:
Continuing the convo from the Dev contest, what's your favorite type of music to map to? Mines Folk and ambient, like the bands Fleet Foxes or Local Natives.
I love to listen to Solar Field's music, he made the music for Mirror's Edge and also 'Movements'. Over an hour of awesome ambience.
Punk, Streetlight Manifesto(punk + ska), sometimes I listen to my cat meowing at me, classic rock, that's bout it [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] I had this really cool idea for a map, like it was a swamp filled with cabins and shit, also with caves, and then one of my many cats got hit by a car and I had to bury him. Wish I had more time in a day to map. How often do you guys map?
I find that listening to fitting music helps me brainstorm. I am currently working on a modern house and listening to slow jazz. Otherwise my music preference is really just whatever I feel like listening to at the time. [QUOTE=mopman999;35015606] How often do you guys map?[/QUOTE] I hardly ever do anything else when I am working on a project. But then I will run into a bug and give up and play Skyrim or something for a month or two.
[QUOTE=Firegod522;35014475]Also we have this section. [url]http://facepunch.com/forums/387[/url][/QUOTE] The chat thread is for a larger audience, such as Americans or Frenchies or Australians.

I'm the kind of person who can map really well one day, then totally loose motivation totally. Though, I guess it's because I prefer to map more dirty, city-like things.
check Hol Baumann on Pandora, or Burdy Nam Nam pretty sweet music when mapping/modeling
[quote]How often do you guys map?[/QUOTE] I usually map very late, around 11pm-2am.
[QUOTE=Rowtree;35015901]Though, I guess it's because I prefer to map more dirty, city-like things.[/QUOTE] This is usually the case for me as well, I can work on Jorpakko for like 2 days and then completely loose it. Though Jorpakko is incredibly easy to add to, so It's not like I've completely lost my motivation.
It kind of depends on how long I spent on it the day before. Usually I can map for about 4 hours with snacks and drinks. 1 without. I get distracted easily and the drinks help me. Especially orange soda [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=NicoleEmilid;35015862]Add me on steam. Anyone else who maps, add me as well![/QUOTE] Says Specified profile can't be found, weird.
I get distracted a lot by silly unimportant things (such as essays that are to be submitted in 3 hours that have not been started), but I still manage to stay on task most of the time.
I get distracted by links random friends send me

My Target Bikinis
Doesn't it seem like summer is just flying by? Personally, I am more of a fall/winter girl myself, but I can't help but love the summer weather, and the lake time that comes with it! Being from Minnesota, I do have kind of a plethora of beaches to choose from, and even though I spent a lot more time on the lake when I was in high school, I still enjoy it now and then. So, since I've already shown you what's in my beach bag this year, it seemed natural to show you the bikinis I've been wearing, as well!
All of my bathing suits are - and pretty much have been - from Target. Granted, I was a swimmer back when I was in school, so I had some fancier one piece swimsuits (in my mind, there's a difference!), but for the most part, I've liked to keep things fairly basic over the years. The first one I wanted to talk about I actually picked up last year, but I have seen it this year, as well. It's a Tiffany blue bikini from Xhilaration that has a bandeau top with a floral, almost doily-like laser cut overlay. I'm going to take a guess that if you've been following me for a while, you've seen this bikini. It was with me last summer, came with on our cruise back in January, and is still with me now!
So, since I loved this bikini so much, I'm sure it won't come as a surprise that I kind of stuck with the same theme in choosing a couple more bikinis this year. The next one I wanted to show you is also from Xhilaration, and is this beautiful, light rose color. It's more of a typical bikini, but it does cross in the back, which I think is a cool detail, and has a gorgeous rose laser-cut overlay. I've really been drawn to this laser-cut overlay stuff! Now, to be perfectly honest, this isn't amazing for my skin tone (pale as a ghost), but I'm pretty sure I'd gotten this right after seeing the new Cinderella movie, and finding out about the new Beauty and the Beast movie...and this reminds me of Beauty and the Beast a lot. So, even if it doesn't technically work for me, I still feel like a princess when I wear it!
Finally, I have another bandeau halter bikini, this time from Mossimo with that same laser cut overlay! Hey, if it works, you work it hard, right? This one, like the first Tiffany blue one, does have a removable halter strap, but I like to just keep the straps on at all times. Sure, it may look nice to go strapless, but in this realm, I'm more about function, and I don't want to worry about it falling down. The overlay on this one is a bit more simple than the other bathing suits, in that it just has a little cut out detail along the edge in a pretty, almost understated chevron print that makes it look a little more jungle-like. Definitely the dressiest of the three, if you can call a bikini dressy!
So, those are my swimsuits! I'd love to hear about yours, though, so make sure to let me know where you like to pick yours up, what details you love in a bathing suit, or even just what you like to do at the beach, lakeside, poolside, wherever you can find water! I love hearing from you guys! Also, if you haven't already, make sure to follow this blog so you don't miss a single post! I try to post something new every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, so there's something new going up all the time. Until next time, though, I hope you all are having an amazing day!
