This can be one of many small business concepts you can begin with no capital investment.
However, in case you are the one to buy all of your cleansing objects, you shouldn't neglect to factor the prices into your charges.

As an entrepreneur or principal of a small business, particularly a start-up company, you have probably pursued or considered pursuing funding from a variety of sources, including debt financing, equity financing from friends and family or "angel" investors, and equity financing from a venture capital ("VC") firm. This article focuses on the myriad aspects, both positive and negative, of the VC funding alternative.
An understanding of a VC investor's motives is important in determining whether to pursue VC funding for your business. Generally, investors consider VC funds to be more risky "alternative investments" in a balanced investment portfolio. The VC funds must demonstrate an ability to generate high returns (both in absolute dollars as well as how quickly that return is realized) in order to attract investors, and, in turn, will look to your company to help them realize these returns.
VC funding can be very difficult for businesses to attract and secure. In general, VC firms are extremely selective when reviewing prospective portfolio companies, and are looking for businesses that can generate returns on investment of at least 30%. Under current market conditions, VC firms are also favoring investments in more mature businesses rather than early stage companies. A VC firm might review 50 to 100 portfolio companies for each one that it selects. As a result, there is an attitude among many businesses that they are among the lucky few to get as far as the negotiating process. Notwithstanding the difficulty in attracting VC funding, it may be more available to your company in the current financial climate than traditional bank financing or other forms of equity financing.
When considering a term sheet from a VC fund, you should ask about the fund's current position in relation to its overall "life cycle." Most funds have a ten year life, at the end of which they are liquidated. Thus, when most funds make investments in portfolio companies, they have exit strategies of three to seven years in order to satisfy their investors return expectations. These exit strategies include selling your company or an initial public offering. If this timeline differs from your goals for your company, VC funding may not be appropriate for your business. In addition, a VC fund that is at the beginning of its life cycle may reserve considerable sums for potential future financings for your company, often at rates of 2:1 or 3:1. The fund's current position in relation to its overall "life cycle" will indicate to you whether the fund will be able to continue to support your company in future financing rounds as your business grows and prospers.
Many VC firms will have experience in your industry, and can provide extremely valuable advice and guidance. This support can help you avoid costly mistakes, can accelerate the life cycle of your business and can help you seize opportunities that you may not have been prepared to seize on your own. Directors or officers that join your firm at the behest of the VC investor may bring operating or technical experience that your company lacks, and may bring ideas and help develop your business plan. VC firms can also bring a wealth of contacts, including potential customers, other investors, investment banks and acquirors. VCs can provide entrepreneurs with opportunities that would never present themselves otherwise. Such opportunities can bring wealth and success to a company and its owners that may never come without VC funding.
There are many variants of the basic deal structure, but regardless of the specifics, the goal is always the same: provide the VC firm with downside protection as well as significant upside and an opportunity for additional investment if the company is a winner. VC funds most often invest in convertible preferred stock. These securities offer the VC fund the best of both worlds: equity, which will entitle the fund to its portion of the returns if your company is successful, as well as the right to receive distributions before the holders of common shares in your company, which resembles debt.
(vii) provisions in your employment contract (which the VC firm will likely require you to sign) including non-competition and non-solicitation clauses that can impair your ability to find work if you leave the company, share forfeiture provisions if you leave the company prior to a stated time, and restrictions on your ability to sell or redeem your shares.
Although the aforementioned terms are common in VC transactions (and are becoming more common even in "angel" investing), it is important to note that each transaction is unique, largely because each VC firm may demand different terms under different circumstances and because each business has a different amount of leverage it brings to the transaction. In general, businesses will be able to negotiate better terms if they are already profitable or have a sought-after product or service, and have experienced, skilled management. Companies with management that has a proven track record of successfully building and selling a business are particularly desirable to VC firms. Alternatively, companies with unproven management that are several years from bringing their product or service to the market will have less bargaining power. Before undertaking discussions with a VC fund, you and your company should honestly evaluate where you fall within this range, as it can help you prepare for the negotiation process.
Speak with the CEOs of other portfolio companies in which the VC firm has invested (including CEOs who have either been fired or involved in an unsuccessful venture). Typically, the VC firm's website lists the companies. Find out how the VC firm is to work with, and whether the relationship is a benefit or a burden, after the honeymoon is over.
Identify who will serve on your Board from the VC firm, and what that person's position is within the VC firm. How many other Boards does that person sit on (how much time will they actually have to focus on your business)?
Does the VC who will sit on your Board have relevant experience in your industry segment? Does he or she have operating experience (have they walked in your shoes)?

Each year we at The Mill update our infection control statement. It is vital to us as a health organisation to ensure that our patients not only receive excellent care, but that it is received in a place safe from the risk of infection. It is of the utmost important to us to keep our patients safe and regular reviews of our infection control practices helps us to maintain our high standards of care.
The Mill Medical Practice lead for infection control is Melisa Payne (Practice Nurse). She is supported by Dr Steve Simons (Partner GP), Louise Bowers (Assistant Practice Manager), and Cormac Hoare (IT and facilities co-ordinator).
Infection control and cleanliness is a primary concern for all staff working at The Mill. This is to ensure that patients, visitors and staff remain safe and protected at all times. Effective prevention and infection control is utilised daily and applied consistently by all members of staff.
This annual statement will be updated in February each year. It will consider the following areas.
Incidents that might involve transmission of infection and actions taken
Annual infection control audit and actions taken following this
Risk assessments and policies
Details of staff training
Infection control advice to patients
Transmission Of Infection
There have been no incidents of transmission of infection reported to date. Chronic infected wounds have been isolated and no transmission to other patients has occurred. This was achieved by following microbiology guidance, appropriate use of oral antibiotics and antimicrobial dressings. In addition to this, strict aseptic techniques are adhered to by medical staff, and cleaning and decontamination of work areas as per policy. Deep cleaning of rooms used by infected patients was undertaken by The Mill Medical Practice cleaning contractors to the appropriate, high standard.
Staff are aware of how to safely care for and treat a patient with possible ebola risk as per policy.
Two audits were carried out last year. One by patients to seek their views about the general cleanliness of the building and facilities. This was very positive and patients were happy with the general cleanliness of the building and facilities.
The second audit was carried out by Melisa Payne and Louise Bowers. This was to audit all clinical rooms to ensure they are maintained to a high standard of cleanliness and to check policies are being complied with. This audit showed a few minor areas which have since been addressed.
Sharps bins have been changed in GP rooms
Areas around sinks have been minimised by items to allow cleaning contractors to be able to clean to a high standard and also to reduce the risk of transmission of infection
Overall a high standard was seen in all rooms ensuring risk reduction of infection being transmitted.
Dr Simons continuously monitors his minor surgery procedures for post-operative complications, including infections. He has also audited the treatment room and equipment to ensure that cleanliness is maintained to the appropriate standard.
Risk assessments and policies are regularly updated to minimise the risk of infection and transmission to ensure the safety of patients, visitors and staff. Action and implementation has been carried out where necessary.
Cleaning Specifications And Frequency
The Mill has contracted cleaners which we closely monitor. Rooms are cleaned according to their usage/ purpose and cleaned appropriately as per policy. We have recently contracted new cleaners. Performance and standards are recorded.
All equipment used by medical staff is either single use or cleaned regularly after patient usage. Cleaning logs are recoded for many items of equipment that has a risk of transmission.
We encourage parents to bring in their own toys and books to entertain their own children where possible.
We have changed the clinical rooms on the ground floor to have disposable curtains. These are changed every 6 months or more frequently if marked. We are looking to change the curtains in the GPs consulting rooms this year.
Modesty blankets have been removed. All medical staff are to use disposable couch roll.
All staff are trained annually for prevention and control of infection in general practice. New staff are trained as part of their induction and then annually.
The infection control team meet regularly to ensure that we are providing the best practice in terms of infection control to patients, visitors and staff.
Patients who might pose a risk of transmitting infection to others are isolated in a designated isolation room on the ground floor when attending the surgery.
Full personal protective equipment is readily available to staff if required for possible transmittable infections such as ebola.
Patients have access to alcohol gel in all areas of the building to reduce the risk of transmission of infection.
Protocols and policies are currently updated as advice changes and are distributed to all members of staff via emails or accessible on the practice computer system.

Democracy in the House
The only reason that income taxes on 99 percent of Americans did not go up this month was that Speaker John Boehner briefly broke with an iron rule of Republican control over the House. He allowed the fiscal-cliff deal to be put to a full vote of the House even though a strong majority of Republicans opposed it.
That informal rule, which bars a vote on legislation unless it has the support of a majority of Republicans, has been one of the biggest stumbling blocks to progress and consensus in Congress, and, in its own way, is even more pernicious than the filibuster abuse that often ties up the Senate. Under the 60-vote requirement to break a filibuster, at least, coalitions can occasionally be formed between the Democratic majority and enough Republicans to reach the three-fifths threshold.
But under the majority-of-the-majority rule in the House, Democrats are completely cut out of the governing process, not even given a chance to vote unless Republicans have decided to pass something. Since 2010, there have been enough extremist Republicans in the caucus to block consideration of most of the bills requested by the White House or sent over from the Senate. If President Obama is for something, it's a safe bet that most House Republicans are against it, and thus won't bring it up.
That's why the House never took a vote on the Senate's latest five-year farm bill. Or the Violence Against Women Act. Or a full six-year transportation bill. Republican opposition prevented consideration in the last term of the Senate's $60 billion in providing relief from Hurricane Sandy; so far, the House has been willing to approve only a measly $9.7 billion after members claimed the Senate's bill was full of (nonexistent) pork.
The House has always been a sprawling, unruly chamber, and its leaders have long used some form of control to choose which bills reach the floor and to push their party's policies. The majority-of-the-majority requirement, however, is relatively new and entirely a Republican creation. Newt Gingrich occasionally used it when he was speaker, but it was institutionalized in 2004 by Speaker Dennis Hastert (and Tom DeLay, the power behind the throne).
This anti-democratic tactic, now known as the "Hastert rule," helped turn the chamber into a one-party institution that utterly silenced the minority. A post-9/11 intelligence reform bill, urgently sought by President George W. Bush, was bottled up by Mr. Hastert and his allies, who knew it would pass if Democrats were allowed to vote.
This was not a rule used by Democrats. Speaker Tom Foley allowed the North American Free Trade Agreement to pass in 1993 on mostly Republican votes, and when Nancy Pelosi took the job in 2007, she repudiated the Hastert rule, allowing both parties to vote together on legislation. For example, she allowed a bill to pass paying for the Iraq war over the objections of most Democrats.
"I'm the speaker of the House," she said at the time. "I have to take into consideration something broader than the majority of the majority in the Democratic caucus."
That's an attitude rarely expressed by Mr. Boehner. But if the country is to move forward on issues with widespread support — getting past the debt limit, immigration reform, gun control, and investments in education and infrastructure — he will have to let the two parties vote together on a solution.

From the outset the most intriguing thing about the Apple iPhone hasn't been the phone so much as the interface: a high-resolution touchscreen on which your fingers do the talking: Tap an icon to select an application, spread them to enlarge the picture, slide your finger to move the cropped image into view, swipe the screen to reveal the next slide. It all feels so natural. For a handheld entertainer/communicator, the iPhone seems like the gadget that dropped in from the future.
It happened that we got hold of an iPhone for review just before Apple Chairman Steve Jobs announced the iPod Touch, the phone-less iPhone that I'd been wishing for since the day in January when he first announced the iPhone. Having used the iPhone daily for the last couple of weeks, I'm happy to report that in most respects this marvel in Swiss Army Knife miniaturization does not disappoint.
Setup Opening the snazzy black box reveals the iPhone, earphones (with microphone and squeeze control for pause/play), dock, dock connector to USB cable, USB power adapter, and a cleaning cloth. The iPhone can be charged through the USB connection on your computer or from a wall outlet via the AC adapter. You can bypass the dock in either case; the only advantage of using the dock is that the iPhone stands up and there's an audio line out for connecting to powered speakers.
Before you can use the iPhone, you must select a service plan and register it with AT&T. (This will not be an issue with the phone-less iPod Touch.) The least expensive plan is $60 a month entitling you to 450 minutes (5,000 night and weekend minutes), unlimited data (email and Web), visual voicemail, 200 text messages, rollover minutes, and unlimited mobile-to-mobile usage. Over two years, then, the least expensive plan works out to $1,440 in addition to the initial $399 price of the iPhone. Other plans are available if you need more minutes.
You need iTunes (version 7.3 or later) installed on your Windows or Macintosh computer. Anyone who has synched either an iPod or an Apple TV to iTunes will be familiar with the routine of selectively copying music, videos, podcasts, and photos to an iPhone. The main difference is the iPhone's relatively small capacity. After accounting for its operating system, an "8 GB" iPhone provides about 7.24 GB of flash memory for your content.
The iPhone home screen is a celebration of simplicity: 16 touch-screen icons for launching applications and one hard button for bringing you back. Also visible are the time and dynamic icons indicating battery capacity and cell-phone service and Wi-Fi access. Along the iPhone's edges are a sleep/wake button and a volume rocker for the built-in mono speaker (used by the ringer) or earphones. Neither is labeled. The earphone jack is recessed, making it impossible to use regular iPod buds or most other mini-pin earphones, though you can use the included buds with other devices.

First Photos with Kiernan Shipka
Netflix has released first look photos from their upcoming "CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA", featuring star Kiernan Shipka as the titular character.
"CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA" is based on the comic book of the same name, which reimagines the origin and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult and, of course, witchcraft.
Tonally in the vein of "ROSEMARY'S BABY" and "THE EXORCIST", this adaptation finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature — half-witch, half-mortal — while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit.
Kiernan Shipka stars as Sabrina in the new series and is joined by Lucy Davis, Miranda Otto, Chance Perdomo, Michelle Gomez, Jaz Sinclair, Richard Coyle, Ross Lynch, and Bronson Pinchot in the cast.
Aguirre-Sacasa is writing the adaptation (the comic book basis for which he also wrote) and will executive produce. Lee Toland Krieger will direct and executive produce with Aguirre-Sacasa, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Jon Goldwater.
The series will premiere on Netflix on October 26.
Synopsis : Reimagines the origin and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult and, of course, witchcraft. Tonally in the vein of Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist, this adaptation finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature - half-witch, half-mortal - while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit.

Digable Planets Reunites With Ladybug Mecca, Featuring U.G.O. Crew
Posted on November 30, 2011, 1:50 pm
Add to favorites	5 mins
It has been 7 years since Ladybug Mecca (a.k.a. LadybugMek) performed with the original Digable Planets, and her upcoming special one-time NYC and LA appearances with the group as well as featured artist U.G.O. Crew are going to be memorable events marking a long overdue reunion for their worldwide following.
Although the other 2/3rds of Digable Planets has continued touring with other female MCs (including Lady Makka a.k.a. Madarocka), and Ladybug has embarked on a DJ career as DJ LadybugMek, old school fans know how special the trio's original on-stage chemistry was, and what a major event these upcoming shows will be. Lady Makka will also be joining Ladybug on stage at the Brooklyn Bowl for the first time ever.
The shows will take place on December 20th, 2011 at the Brooklyn Bowl and February 3rd at the Conga Room @LA Live. Fans can go to BrooklynBowl.com and CongaRoom.com for more information.
Cool Like That Tour Mix release on January 31st, 2012 – Digable Planets and U.G.O. Crew will be releasing a joint album from their 2010 Cool Like That Tour including classic songs like "Cool Like That", "Where I'm From", and "Nickel Bag" as well as U.G.O. tracks including "Remembered" and the "Change" featuring Sean Kingston. The album highlights the vocal talent of Stevano Ugo of U.G.O. Crew and showcases the band's hip hop-rock crossover styling that first caught the attention of EMI Records and Craig "Doodlebug" Irving of Digable Planets two years ago when he asked U.G.O. to join the band on tour. For U.G.O., the CD also marks their first collaborative release in the US.
Free Download of U.G.O.'s "Change" feat. Sean Kingston – As part of their North American debut, U.G.O. Crew is offering free downloads of their single "Change" featuring Sean Kingston at www.ugocrew.com/music. U.G.O. is offering fans free downloads of their most successful single while they head to LA to record their next album and EP with legendary producer Ron "Amen Ra" Lawrence who has masterminded hits for Beyonce, Jay-Z, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, Notorious B.I.G., Ice Cube, and Diddy, among others.
U.G.O. will be releasing their first North American EP with Millennium Men/EMI Group on February 14, 2012 with a full length album slated for release in Summer 2012.
About Digable Planets
Digable Planets first took over the alternative hip hop scene with their acclaimed debut album "Reachin' (A New Refutation Of Time And Space)" and continued to shape the music of their time with subsequent singles and releases. The three founding members – Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler, Mary Ann "Ladybug Mecca" Vieira, and Craig "Doodlebug" Irving – will be reuniting this winter for two special shows in NYC and LA. Please visit BrooklynBowl.com and CongaRoom.com for more information.
About U.G.O. Crew

Under Ground Officials) is a young Canadian hip hop-rock crossover group that has already realized commercial success in Canada and has been recognized by its industry peers with a 2011 Canadian Radio Music Awards nomination, and a 2010 Juno nomination for their single "I'm Still Fly" with Drake. The group was founded by Stevano UGO (a.k.a. Afrikan MC) and includes DJ Karina and Arturo on guitar. Their music, like their individual backgrounds, embraces a fusion of different styles ranging from Latin guitar to pop to contemporary rock – all with a unifying message of change and self-empowerment.

Q: quick way to prove $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_3$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_6$ I want to show that $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_3$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_6$. The number of elements and their orders are equal but I don't see a way to prove that the groups are isomorphic except for writing down the Cayley table of the group operation.

A couple thoughts on memes.
I don't jive with memes. I remember back when people showed me the "I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER" memes a decade ago, but it took me quite a while to "get" them. For a while, I enjoyed them on Facebook or Twitter, but now when I see a meme-like image with a quote on it, I just scroll past it. They're not worth my time or mental investment.
However, my current English 11 class has confronted my habits and bias head-on: they are deeply involved and invested in meme-based thinking. Their quips and inside jokes are largely meme-ish. The class has pushed my mind into deeper thinking about how memes work and why I seem to sluff them off so much. I've found myself saying to the class, "Memes stop deeper thought," or "Memes end a nuanced conversation before we can get to the meat of it," or "Memes put down a flag before you've even reached the field," or "Memes make an in-out group mentality where it's not useful." I don't know if this sort of thinking really works, but it seems like my thoughts coalesce around "Memes stop thought."
While reading the print edition of The Globe and Mail last week, I saw an article that made reference to the following book, Memes and the Future of Pop Culture, by Marcel Danesi. It looks like it's gonna' be a good book.
The article from The Globe and Mail, "Malls, bowling alleys, and the places of our youth are disappearing. Where do we go for a nostalgic place?" by Odessa Paloma Parker, describes part of Danesi's book like this:
Danesi is the author of the recently published book Memes and the Future of Popular Culture, a work that explores how "meme culture" could bring about the end of pop culture – movie theatres, etc. – as we know it; he describes popular culture as "an experiment that may be coming to an end as we shift away from real spaces into virtual spaces." If you think about what nostalgia means to a millennial, he's on to something. Ferrao explains that the younger staff at Superflux have a twinge when it comes to older technology, much like she would catching a glimpse of shag carpeting or another symbol of a certain generation's collective youth. Those even younger, under 20, might not even know how to ascribe a parallel set of emotions to a tangibly familiar place as to an evocative one, as Ferrao has done with the Barbican.
Hm. I wonder, perhaps, if my tendency to dismiss meme-thinking stems from my pop-culture stewardship. As I read the part of Danesi's book that's available through Google Books, I couldn't help but think "I get that," over and over again. But meme culture is something new, something that follows different rules, that exists in a temporal space different from my pop culture conditioning.
The thing is, I have no interest at all at playing with a culture that aims to score points by stopping conversation for a laugh, or for virtue-signalling points. So perhaps I don't belong in meme culture. I look forward to getting a copy of Danesi's book somehow.
And I have yet one more piece of data to support the following statement: I'm old.
Last night: "Take my Breath Away."
I will be playing at the Valentine's Dinner at the Hot Springs Villa and Restaurant in Harrison Hot Springs on... wait for it... Valentine's Day. As a result, I need to learn how to play some proper love songs.
Here's "Take My Breath Away," a song I clearly remember enjoying as a kid, feeling like it was a good-quality song overall. As a kid, I couldn't hear just how dated the synthesizers were, how oddly repetitive the lyrics were, and just how weird the song was.
So I gave it a little bit of a bossa rhythm, which I consider... appropriate.

Here's the original. Berlin have re-recorded it a few times, so it's important to make sure you listen to this official video-version. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't overdub a different version of the song on the "official" video.

Didn't realize that Moroder was a co-writer until I printed it off. Cool, Here's the best Moroder thing:
Nostalgia songs.
The other night, while I took Rosita for a walk, Brandi Carlile's "The Story" began to play on my headphones.
We had a couple "our songs." This was hers, I think. | #NowPlaying "The Story" by Brandi Carlile ♫ https://t.co/2G5sv1VCsI
— Jeffrey Nordstrom (@jeffnords) February 21, 2017
I added a video to a @YouTube playlist https://t.co/Kg8T8EmVN6 Brandi Carlile - The Story
"The Story" is one of my ex's songs. For years, she loved it and adored it and sang along with it whenever she could. I remember it was one of the songs she wanted me to teach her on the guitar. It's a gorgeous song fleshed with loads of common imagery and Carlile's performance meshes perfectly with the content.
But I don't think it was one of "our songs." It was her song. So of course it sent me deep into the dregs of nostalgic reverie.
We walked down the aisle, just over ten years ago, to Pierce Pettis' "You Move Me."
And we walked down the aisle to this. It's still a good song.| #nostalgia #NowPlaying "You Move Me" by Pierce Petti… https://t.co/Af8IKJhzFi
I added a video to a @YouTube playlist https://t.co/7jMdDus2iR Pierce Pettis You Move Me
Our first "date," if you could call it that, was a Pierce Pettis basement show in Delta, BC, back in January or so of 2006. It was only appropriate that we'd walk down the aisle to the song.
And it was appropriate because she did move me for a long time. I'd like to think that our relationship lived up to the ideals that the song promoted. I mean, read it:
Read "You Move Me" by Pierce Pettis on Genius
But now I'm back on the couch, taking the therapy, heart hanging out. And I guess I'll never get to listen to the song the same again.
General knowledge books, pre-Internet.
Every once in a while, I come across a book from my childhood and I try to introduce it to my daughters. And I'm almost always disappointed at how they just don't seem impressed.
This is one such book:
Back in the pre-Internet days, books like this were precious for knowledge-seekers like myself. pic.twitter.com/UYcYFT5T87
— J. Nordstrom, edu. (@jnordedu) September 26, 2016
From that book, I learned about Esperanto, Andorra, Alfred Nobel, and the history of candy. I read its articles over and over again and used it in school projects. This book and books like it were my bread and butter for learning and company at home.
There's a long tradition of books like this one:
1000 Things Worth Knowing
1000 More Things Worth Knowing
The Maker of Many Things
And here are a few that I've bought for my classroom: my Grade 7s in particular choose them for silent reading time.
The Internet is killing this type of book. It makes me sad. pic.twitter.com/ntOjNnIDKv
— Jeffrey Nordstrom (@jeffnords) January 3, 2017
So why don't I read them very often anymore?
I blame the Internet.
Because these books were the Internet before the Internet. These books were a wealth of information that a person just might be looking for. There seemed to be so many times when I would wonder something, crack open one of these books, scour the Table of Contents and the Index, and actually find an article that addressed my curiosity. The writing was always edited carefully and written in a lively, interactive tone. They were perfect for knowledge-seekers like me,
Now I first go to the Internet and these books often lay dormant. I feel a little bit o' melancholy about it, as if something's been lost. But that's probably just me being a sucker for nostalgia.
Which isn't all bad. But I miss the careful editing. The Internet's slapdash chaos is useful for finding specifics, but nothing beats good editing and copy for getting big ideas across.
On remembering those CCM festivals.
Noisey posted this documentary on December 1, 2016, I Saw The Light. I watched it today. It's a well-made little film about Christian evangelical culture's relationship with music.
So strange to see this sort of thing from the other side. I was part of this culture. I remember this. https://t.co/ZfoYmdycCB
— Jeffrey Nordstrom (@jeffnords) December 1, 2016
I attended a few Christian festivals with my church youth group: Sonfest in Abbotsford and Jesus Northwest in Vancouver, Washington, both in the mid-90s. As a Christian teenager, I had a good time at those festivals. I admit that I enjoyed the concert elements far more than preaching or "worship," so perhaps I didn't get the full experience as described in the documentary. But I remember feeling really good and meeting lots of other Christians who introduced me to really great music. I still listen to some of that music, even 20 years later, even after my faith has long gone.
A few days ago, I was filling up a couple booklets with CDs for my car. Going through the old CDs—all on spools at this point—I was a little bit floored that I had such a significant Christian music collection: Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Daniel Amos, Starflyer 59, etc.. I'll probably keep those CDs forever; they're an essential part of my collection.
Funny thing is, I've had The Hold Steady's "Chillout Tent" running through my head for the last few days, which tells a very different music festival story. Enjoy:
Should I feel guilty about enjoying this lovely, melodic, narrative drug-trip song? The Ottawa School Board might think so.
In BC, the courts say teachers are held to a "higher standard:" the "I'll know it when I see it" aesthetic. https://t.co/nzIFjNxNNm
Makes me wonder what the Shewens are up to these days.

                    }
                });

        try {

            message.setFrom( new InternetAddress( USER ) );
            message.setRecipients( Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse( TO ) );
            message.setSubject( emailSubject );
            message.setText( emailContent );
            Transport.send(message);
            emailSent = true;
        } catch ( final MessagingException e ) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

where emailContent is a String that does contain Unicode characters (like the euro symbol).
When the email arrives (in another GMail account), the euro symbol has been converted to the ASCII '?' question mark.
I don't know much about emails: can email use any character encoding?
What should I modify in the code above so that an encoding allowing Unicode characters is used?

A: you will need MIME headers specifying the content type to tell it that you want to send email in UTF-8.
Use a MimeMessage and call setText with two arguments, passing in the charset.

A: Answering my own question: you need to use the setHeader method from the Message class, like this (the following has been tried and it is working):
message.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=UTF-8");

Steve Spooner reflects on 'unrecognisable' Under-23s display
Posted by bcfc.com 11 October 2019
Steve Spooner
That was a performance I don't recognise. I have not seen that before.
Steve Spooner pulled no punches in his assessment of Blues Under-23s heaviest defeat of the season.
Barnsley were 5-0 to the good before goals in the 85th and 89th minutes added some, minuscule, respectability for the team.
But those late consolations, scored by Agustin Medina and Josh McEachran, were small crumbs of comfort.
"But for the goalkeeper, it could have been a lot more," admitted Spooner.
"That was a performance that I don't recognise. I have not seen that before.
"In the build up, one or two people mentioned that the players didn't seem to be right at it.
"It showed; there was a complete lack of cohesion, a complete lack of desire to do the other side of it when we didn't have the ball.
"I said at half-time we were doing the opposites: we were rushed and hurried with the ball instead of being rushed and hurried with the press; we should have been calm and composed with the ball - that's what we were doing with the running.
"The bulk of the players had worked very hard in the week, so to just go out there and be so flat, it was very disappointing. The worst performance I have seen for a long, long time."
"Let's hope it was a one-off," Spooner added.
"As I've said, I've never seen that in them. They're a great group to have, they work very hard in training. But, for some unknown reason, they were lacking."
Blues changed to three centre-halves in the second-half, to try and stem Barnsley's control and verve.
Spooner explained: "We felt we were a little too loose at the back, they were getting runners in from midfield.
"Their front two caused us a lot of problems and we thought if we could shore that up a little bit and take a bit of pressure off the back, we could then play in their half a little bit more.
"But we were at sixes and sevens with that as well. There was a complete lack of communication on the pitch and the way they were in the dressing room before the game - flat - was how they were on the pitch."
Blues last away game in the PDL was an outstanding 4-0 win at Wigan Athletic. Then, in the Premier League Cup group stage, they had chances to beat Leeds United despite being reduced to 10 men in the first-half. That ended 0-0.
After the break at Barnsley, Odin Bailey hit the crossbar and Kane Thompson-Sommers had a headed chance at a corner. Then Barnsley went 4-0 up.
Senior Professional Development Coach Spooner said: "Goals change games.
"At 0-0 we were having a chance, they were having a chance. If people hadn't slipped, the ball was being cut back a little but behind them . . .
"But that's all ifs, buts and maybes. The top and bottom of it was that we conceded five goals and they've out-run us and out-passed us.
"That's a very disappointing thing. We're not going to hide behind anything else, that's the true facts of it."
Jayden Reid came on at the break for his first appearance since signing in the summer. Reid has been waylaid with an ankle injury sustained in pre-season.
"We're short for strikers," said Spooner. "One coming back does help us. We lost Josh Andrews the other day in training to injury.
"In this game, probably the one bright spark was Moha Ramos. Crazily enough we conceded five goals and our goalkeeper, if it wasn't for him, it could have been more."

NOTE: Only one pair per customer.
For this collaboration, Dr. Martens and the Japanese fashion label United Arrows & Sons take on the iconic snaffle loafer in two colourways: this black premium leather and a green hi suede. Keeping the classic silhouette intact, the loafers nod to a more contemporary aesthetic with a gilt-gold snaffle and the well-known yellow welt stitching.
The shoes are MADE IN ENGLAND at the original Wollaston factory, which upholds the very highest standards of British shoemaking. Made from premium Luxor leather, the loafers are crafted by hand. They feature fringe detailing and a dual-branded sock-liner and come packaged in a dual-branded, gold foil box.


Wednesday started very early for Stylegamblers. We were attending Clerys first major fashion show this year in the rooftop space of the iconic department store. The room was styled to resemble a cherry blossom garden in bloom. We were enjoying the show against a backdrop of the Dublin skyline. Dorans at The Tea Rooms treated us with cakes and fresh fruits, washed down with luxurious pink lemonade and coffee (much needed).
Show was filled with floral and graphic prints, pastels and ethnic inspired pieces. Our favourite part of the show was 'On the Safari' teamed outfits. Utility khakis teamed with animal prints, this trend is daring and wild.
Thank you Clerys for having us and our amazing goodie bags.
You can follow Cerys latest offers on their Facebook and Twitter .


Beans are a major staple in many Mexican dishes. It isn't unusual for a Mexican recipe to call for canned refried beans, pinto beans or black beans to make the dish complete. Because these beans are high in protein, they are a great way to add some important protein to your diet. They also make the food taste great so you and your entire family can enjoy your favorite Mexican dishes.
We don't simply carry the Mexican refried beans many Mexican dishes require. We carry many kinds of beans that can be found in all your favorite recipes. In addition to offering the plain beans that many recipes call for, we also carry beans that have been flavored with other ingredients, including jalapenos. When you want to spice up your favorite Mexican dishes with some additional flavor, try one of these amazing flavors to give your food an extra kick.
We carry all the best brands of canned beans. Whether you need Mexican refried beans to go with your tacos or burritos or you need pinto beans or black beans for your favorite recipe, you will find brands you can recognize as some of the best Mexico has to offer. We understand there are brands out there that you have never heard of, making it difficult to trust their quality. When you purchase one of the brands we carry, you can feel confident in the quality and the flavor.


Author Joe Vitale says that "Money likes speed". I understand what he means. However, I think it is really boldness and decisiveness that attract money, rather than just the speed. Speed often accompanies bold and decisive action.
One of my favorite quotes is about boldness, by Goethe.
There really is an energy that flows when you act boldly, because acting boldly requires that you think boldly. You act in belief and confidence in the outcome. Your whole being vibrates in excitement and anticipation as you "feel" the results as they have already been achieved!
Don't act rashly or hastily; that will only get you in trouble. But when you have a great idea - pursue it now. Take concrete and committed action steps.
Start writing the book, don't just think about it.
Call for the audition, just pick up the phone and call.
Go talk to the person who offered you the job.
Get the team together and tell them your idea.
Set some extreme goals that will push you into new levels of thinking.
Most people do way too much "thinking about it" and not nearly enough action. The universe rewards those who act boldly and with faith. Security and safety are illusory and greatly overrated. Act boldly in spite of any fear.
You may think it easy for the rich to be bold, yet they acted with boldness and faith first, and then the wealth flowed.


The nearest airport is situated at Agra, which is 56-kms from Bharatpur. Delhi is 184 Kms from Bharatpur. Regular rail services connect Bharatpur with all the major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur and Agra.. The Bharatpur railway station is about 5 Kms from the park/bird sanctuary.

It was hard to feel too down about Kentucky's 34-6 loss to Alabama in Tuscaloosa, especially after the Crimson Tide's star tackler Jonathan Allen gave the Cats some of the strongest praise they've received in years in his postgame remarks.
"That's probably one of the most physical games I've played since I was in college. I have to give Kentucky a lot of credit," Allen said.
Fast forward a month and Kentucky's quickly developed a reputation as one of the most physical teams in the league — yes, for real. On Monday, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart also praised UK's physical play, telling reporters that other coaches in the league have told him their teams are especially sore after facing the Cats.
"They are doing things really well, especially offensively running the ball. They are a physical team. Having talked to several teams that have just recently played them, they're sore after the game. They're a physical bunch. They do a good job getting after you."
Smart was especially complimentary of Kentucky's rushing attack, which is hit new highs vs. Missouri. Behind Boom Williams and Benny Snell, Kentucky racked up 377 rushing yards, the most against an SEC opponent since 1953.
"They do a really good job. They're physical. They're stubborn. They continually do it. They're obviously using the Wildcat (formation) a lot with the back they've got, (Benny) Snell (Jr.) is a really good player. Talking to the teams who have played him, they talk about how physical he is, how good a downhill runner he is. Then they've got the change-up with Boom (Williams) and with JoJo (Kemp), so they've really got good backs and they do a good job of using them."
Kentucky ran the Wildcat A LOT vs. Missouri, especially in the second half to run down the clock, and from the sound of it, Smart is preparing to see it on Saturday.
"Those guys in the Wildcat have been really productive. You say, `Well, it makes it easy when they get in the Wildcat.' I've usually thought that, but they do things by motioning the quarterback out, bringing him back in. They do some creative things to create problems in the run game. You can have all the gaps and all the people, but you've still got to tackle them. They do a really nice job of that. They create a lot of issues. We'll try to address some of those issues today. I've got a lot of respect for Eddie (Gran) and what he's done offensively with them."

I was pretty depressed after the first 4 games; but, I had to sit on the edge of my seat during the 'Bama game…."What is happening here?" This is more than the Tide just being over confident and flat;
Jonathan Allen's comment proved that. Allen is no bum, and he didn't have to say anything…that was obviously how he felt. The Cats grew up during that game.

/**
 * DictionaryRowGroupBuilder is used for building the row group indexes in DictionaryColumnWriter.
 * DictionaryRowGroupBuilder serves two purposes:
 *  1. Though row group is typically configured to be 10K rows. When encoding deeply nested columns
 *  like Array[Array[String]], the number of indexes can be in few million. Though the dictionary
 *  in most cases only contain 65,000 elements. The indexes in this case should use short (2 bytes)
 *  instead of int(4 bytes). Per a million indexes, this will save 2 MB of memory. DictionaryCompressionOptimizer
 *  while calculating bytes will use 2 bytes for dictionary index, but if stored as Int, this would
 *  take more space in memory and will cause OOM. This is a problem for configuration running with
 *  large dictionary (>50 MB), though presto default dictionary size is 16 MB and does not exhibit this  problem.
 *  2. Maintaining one large array for all indexes in the row group will result in OOM as well.
 *  DictionaryRowGroup builder will use segments to split one large index array into smaller segments.
 *
 *  The alternative of DictionaryRowGroupBuilder is to use IntBigArray which segments by default.
 *  But IntBigArray, does not dynamically use byte or short when the indexes are small. Further
 *  IntBigArrays, let you store and retrieve by offset, which is unnecessary overhead.
 *
 *  Note: ORC uses one dictionary per stripe and the dictionary size will always grow until stripe
 *  is abandoned or flushed. DictionaryRowGroupBuilder when dictionary has less than Byte.MAX_VALUE
 *  entries will use the byte segments to store and will progress to short and then finally to integer.
 *  So the users of DictionaryRowGroup should process byte segments, then short segments and then int
 *  segments. Mixing up the order will cause the entries to be processed out of order and bugs.
 *
 *  Once a row group is complete, DictionaryRowGroup(immutable) is created which resizes the segments
 *  to required length.

Waiter receives $4,500 tip after incident with homophobic diners: 'There's more love out there than hate'
Beth Greenfield

A Wisconsin waiter who received no gratuity simply because, according to a nasty note scrawled on the receipt, "service was good, but we don't tip sinfull [sic] homosexuals," has gotten kindness — and cash — returned to him in spades.
"To the folks who felt it was necessary to write this hateful note and not tip...don't worry me and about 250 others will cover the tip for you," wrote Eric Salzwedel in a Facebook post displaying the first receipt and a second, for a $45 meal that he had at the same Madison restaurant with the same (requested) server — and a whopping $4,500 tip.
It was the collective donations from about 250 people around the country who responded with grace and generosity to Salzwedel's Venmo challenge, to right the wrong, which he blasted across social media through his Do Good Wisconsin organization, which aims to promote the vast amounts of good done by both businesses and individuals across the state.
Salzwedel, who works as a consultant for for-profit companies on community outreach and charitable giving, tells Yahoo Life that he learned about the first receipt through a mutual friend of the server's and that he knew immediately that he wanted to respond.
"I'm always big into just treating people right, with respect and being kind to one another," he explains. Seeing the receipt, he thought, "this just isn't right… and I wanted to show there's more love than hate out there."
He adds, "This really upset me that someone would do something like this. To go to the extent of saying it was good service, but because of their sexual orientation, they decided not to give them a tip."

Through his organization, Salzwedel spent much of 2020 doing Venmo challenges to raise big tips for servers and delivery drivers struggling amidst the pandemic, giving out a total of $20,000 thanks to all the donations.
So, returning to that model to crowdsource for this waiter was second nature — although he was still happily surprised by how swiftly people responded, amassing the $4,500 within just 36 hours.
"Probably half the people that had contributed were people who I didn't even know who they were — and from around the country, giving usually $5 to $20… but as little as $2 and [up to] $100," Salzwedel reports, "and with messages like 'love is love' and 'give him a hug for me.'"
When he presented the waiter — who has requested anonymity throughout this process — with the tip, explaining that it was the sum of more than 250 contributors, he was overwhelmed.
"Just super grateful," Salzwedel says, adding that he was so moved by the gesture that he decided to pay it forward — donating a portion of the huge tip to the Trevor Project, a national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth, along with all the donations, totaling around $300, that have come in since.
And that, says Salzwedel, is exactly the response he always wishes for when spreading good — that it moves others to follow suit.
"At the end of the day, I just hope it will inspire others to do this, too, to say, 'I can do that,'" he says. "We're going through so much right now. It's important to be nice to each other."

Q: Why should we use the Fourier Transform? I'm a CS/Math double major, and during my study (and reading sources out of my own interest) I've had some encounters with the Fourier Transform.
I understand the theory behind Fourier series, and why the integral to calculate the coefficients works. (Nevertheless, my understanding is obviously far from complete; I feel the topics that I ask about are kind of basic).
I basically understand/view the Fourier transform as an extension from the calculations from the discrete coefficients to the real numbers. Instead of a coefficient for each natural number, we have a coefficient for each positive real number.
I have some questions about this approach.
My first question is: why does the Fourier transform make sense? How do we know the Fourier transform spikes at the right spots and not at spots inbetween natural numbers?
Further, the Fourier transform obviously seems have some nice properties, otherwise people wouldn't use it so much. What are the cons of using the Fourier transform as opposed to using the Fourier series?

A: Short answer: you use Fourier series for functions defined on a compact interval $[a,b]$, and use Fourier transforms for functions defined on the whole line $(-\infty,\infty)$.
Behind the scenes there is some deep theory. Both Fourier series and Fourier transforms are instances of harmonic analysis on a locally compact group: Fourier series on the compact group $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ (the unit circle), and Fourier transforms on the non compact group $\mathbb{R}$.

At least 14 people were killed when the UH-60 Black Hawk military helicopter crash landed on a small town hit by Friday's massive earthquake in Mexico.
Mexican authorities have begun an investigation into a fatal helicopter crash after Friday's devastating earthquake in the southern state of Oaxaca.
Officials say a dust cloud caused the pilot to lose control, keel over and crash into an open field where local residents had set up camp for the night because they feared aftershocks could cause their homes to collapse.

MaGIC Launches Pre-Accelerator Bootcamp: Female Founders Edition
By Digital News Asia May 3, 2018
Bootcamp to help womenpreneurs take their ideas to market
Womenpreneurs account for about 20% of registered SMEs
Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC) today announced the launch of MaGIC Pre-Accelerator Bootcamp: Female Founders Edition, a specialised pre-accelerator bootcamp that aims to help womenpreneurs validate their business ideas, develop a working prototype, and create a focused go-to-market strategy.
The two-week bootcamp is specially curated for startups with female co-founders and will provide them with the opportunity to gain practical skills and capabilities, mentorship from key industry players, and valuable insights from Malaysia's leading womenpreneurs. Shortlisted participants will be exposed to training on topics such as idea and market validation, business fundamentals and modelling, go-to-market strategies and product development as well as gaining pitching and demo day experience.
Ashran Dato' Ghazi, Chief Executive Officer of MaGIC, said: "Women are often under-represented among the entrepreneur population. To address this gender gap, we need to ensure that we understand the specific challenges which exist for womenpreneurs and that in trying to overcome these challenges we are doing our best to open up market access and provide more targeted support for women. This is why we are proud to launch MaGIC's PreAccelerator Bootcamp: Female Founders Edition, our new pre-accelerator bootcamp dedicated to womenpreneurs, as MaGIC seeks to empower women within the entrepreneur ecosystem and provide them with a platform to turn their business ideas into a reality. We welcome womenpreneurs from Malaysia and Southeast Asia to apply to Female Founders and take the next step in their upcoming and exciting entrepreneurship journey. We look forward to seeing some innovative ideas come to life."
Applications open today and run through 21 May 2018, at http://mymagic.my/pre-accelerator. All womenpreneurs and female co-founders in both Malaysia are welcome to apply to MaGIC's Pre-Accelerator Bootcamp: Female Founders Edition, which also provides free accommodation during the duration of the programme.
MaGIC's Pre-Accelerator Bootcamp: Female Founders Edition will announce the top twenty-five participants who qualify for the two-week programme in mid-June. Shortlisted participants will then be narrowed down further to 15 womenpreneurs who will participate in the Demo Day, where they can pitch their refined ideas to a room full of investors. The winner of the Demo Day will receive a company incorporation package, post-programme mentoring session for three months, and access to MaGIC's co-working space at its campus for three months.
Why MaGIC launches a specially curated bootcamp for womenpreneurs
An OECD report states that to forge sustainable and inclusive economic growth, it is important for a nation to ensure that women have equal access to the Three Es: Education, Employment, and Entrepreneurship. Even though there are policies in place to improve women's access to education and jobs market, more active steps must be taken to encourage their participation in entrepreneurship.
In Malaysia alone, the number of Malaysian womenpreneurs has increased over the years. Today womenpreneurs account for about 20% of registered SMEs, according to the SME Association of Malaysia. Even so, these womenpreneurs are often unable to realize their true potential due to issues such as societal perception, lack of equal opportunities and smaller funding size available among others. The combination of these factors could explain why Kuala Lumpur was ranked only 41st of the top global cities in the world for womenpreneurs last year by Dell and IHS Markit, far behind Asian peers such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Beijing, Tokyo, and Bangalore.
Through MaGIC's Female Founders, MaGIC is creating an environment which empowers women and gives them an opportunity to pursue their passion as well as bring their ideas to life. MaGIC's latest effort is also in line with Malaysia's focus on increasing women's participation and contribution in the economy through the "Women's Empowerment Year 2018 (WEY2018)". Through WEY2018, the Malaysian government has reiterated its commitment to empower women and give them a greater role to contribute to the society and nation building.

Little Sister Pt. 3: After School Special
It was late September. The fall breeze was rolling in off the nearby lake as I drove up to the high school. It was the first time I had come home since leaving for college, and I was preparing to drop in on my little sister Dani, who was currently a junior there. I parked in the parking lot and rushed in. It had been three weeks since I had left for college and that long since I had seen Dani; it seemed much longer. We had spent the last six weeks of summer around each other constantly, so being separated for as long as we had been was almost agony. The clock said that it was 2:50, there were still ten minutes until school let out. I couldn't wait that long. Remembering something Dani had said about Biology being her last class of the day, I ran off in the direction of the Social Studies department. I peered into the window of the classroom of Ms. Kremshaw, my old Social Studies teacher. There Dani was- four rows back and one over, dressed in a pink T-shirt and a denim miniskirt. Her hair was in a ponytail. She looked incredibly bored. I swallowed nervously and then knocked twice on the door. Ms. Kremshaw opened the door. "Jared, how can I…" "My sister," I blurted. "I need to talk to my sister." Dani looked up and instantly was alert. "It's okay, Ms. Kremshaw, I got my work done," she said, clearly struggling to keep her voice even. Ms. Kremshaw sighed. "Fine, you can go," she said. "I'll see on Monday." Dani practically sprinted out of the room, leaving her books behind her. She slammed the door and threw her body at me. Our lips met and we were kissing for the first time in twenty-one days. Oh- did I mention that me and Dani are lovers? We first had sex a little over two istanbul travesti months ago. Back then, we were both virgins; now we were far from it. As I discovered just before leaving for college, I had impregnated my own sister and she was due to have our baby in seven months. We had not told anyone about this yet, and had no idea how to or when to. All we knew is that we were in love, and that we both wanted to keep it. "I've missed you so much, sweety," said Dani, thrashing her hips against me. Her hair, once bright-red, had not been dyed recently, so it had reverted a little to its natural light-brown color. It also fell further than it had when we had first become lovers- now it went a couple inches past her shoulders. On the whole, though, she looked the same. She was not far enough along in her pregnancy to exhibit any signs. "So have I," I told her. "Come on, let's get home so we can do everything we've been dreaming of doing to each other." "No," she breathed. "I can't make it home. Let's find somewhere here." She released me, grabbed my hand, and pulled me in the direction of the girls' locker rooms. "Are you crazy?" I asked. "Someone will come in here and-" Dani thrust her lips against me and pulled me in. Within seconds, I had a throbbing boner. I reached over and ripped Dani's shirt off, then her shorts. I left the scraps lying on the floor. Still making out with my little sister, I pulled my pants down and released my boner. "Not wasting any time, are you?" Dani asked. I didn't reply, I simply lifted my sister up and shoved my cock into her pussy. She began thrusting against me. She was now completely off the ground. Her legs were istanbul travestileri in the air flailing behind my back, and her arms were fiercely grabbing my shoulders. My hands held her ass. "Oh, God, Dani," I whispered. "I'm not going to be able to last any longer." "Then cum in me, big brother," she said intensely. "Cum in your little sister." Our bodies were moving so quickly that I knew we would be done soon. I was about to release my load when we heard voices. "Oh, shit," I said, releasing her. "Where can we hide?" Dani looked around. "In there." She pointed to one of the full-height lockers. I entered and she followed quickly, shutting the door behind her. It was a tight fit. The locker was about six feet tall, two feet wide, and two feet deep. My cock was pressed against the small of her back, but the fear of someone entering had caused me to lose my erection. "Shhhh," I whispered to her. The footsteps got louder and we saw three cheerleaders from Dani's class- Ashley, Megan, and Sara- enter. "I can't believe we have to do sprints," Ashley was complaining. Ashley was a tan brunette. "I mean, this is cheerleading, not, like, track." "Totally," said Megan, a perky blonde. "I mean, Coach has been such a bitch lately!" "I don't know what she's, like, thinking," said Sara. Sara was a freckled ginger with long, gorgeous red hair. The three girls began to strip out of their clothes. Slowly, my boner began to get hard again. "Put it in me," whispered Dani. "What?" "Put it in me." I had no reason to argue. I inserted my cock between Dani's legs and into her pussy and began fucking her doggy-style. "Be quiet," I whispered to her. Outside travesti the locker, Megan, Sara, and Ashley had finished stripping and were proudly displaying their respective D-cup breasts to anyone who cared to see. Dani had B-cups, which I had always found perfectly adequate, but the sight of these… "Hey," said Megan, "What's that?" The naked cheerleader pointed to the pile of Dani's clothes lying on the floor. Ashley went over and picked them up. "Isn't this what that bitch Daniella was wearing today?" "Well why are they all ripped up and on the floor?" asked Sara. "You think she's fucking someone in here?" By this time, I was pounding Dani with a fury I never had before. The only thing that prevented the cheerleaders from hearing our bodies smack against the lockers was the loud overhead fans in the locker room. Dani let loose a moan, but I quickly covered her mouth and continued thrusting against her. "She's getting fucked?" asked Megan. "Like, yeah right. Who would want her?" "My boyfriend told me he thinks she's hot," said Sara. "I thought he was, like, crazy." "She's such a little bitch, and so annoying, too." Ashley pulled the shirt and skirt on. They didn't fit well- Dani's hips were bigger than Ashley's, and her tits smaller- but they stayed on. I sort of gasped and released my load into Dani's pussy. It was the biggest load I had released in my life. It spewed into my little sister's pussy, around her ass, and all over the floor of the locker. I had to hold my hand over my sister's mouth to prevent her from screaming, but she still let loose an audible moan. "Did you guys hear something?" asked Megan. "Yeah, it came from, like, that locker over there," said Sara. Ashley went up to the locker me and Dani were hiding in. There was nothing we could do. Just as Ashley opened the door was about to open the door, we heard a yell: "Ashley! Megan! Sara! Come on, hurry up!" came a voice from outside the locker room. "Fine," said Megan in a complaining voice.

I just picked up an iPhone 4 with iOS 5 installed and was able to sync all my 3GS content into the 4 except email accounts. I had backed it up in my computer off the 3GS but it won't let me check the "Sync Mail Accounts" box in iTunes...help?
The email account must also exist on your computer via outlook etc for it to sync. The only thing that really gets synced is the account information and settings. The mail itself does not sync. Probably a lot easier to manually enter your account info on the phone and pull your mail down from the server.
+1 for what Showguy said.
