Asian shares gained on Friday as technology stocks were boosted by upbeat earnings from U.S. high-tech giants while the euro hovered near a three-month low against the dollar after the European Central Bank extended its stimulus.
The euro`s fall looks set to lift European shares with spread betters expecting higher opening of 0.5 percent in Germany`s DAX and 0.6 percent in France`s CAC. Britain`s FTSEis seen flat.
Japan`s Nikkei gained 1.3 percent. MSCI`s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was flat, while Hong Kong and South Korean shares gained 0.7 percent in local currency.
"Corporate earnings are rising to record levels in the world. And the IMF just upgraded its economic forecast for all of U.S., China, Europe and Japan," said Mutsumi Kagawa, chief global strategist at Rakuten Securities.
Earnings from Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon.com, the world`s second, third and fifth largest companies by market capitalisation, were all upbeat, boosting their shares in after-hour trade.
Shares in those companies rose 2.8 percent, 4.5 percent and 7.6 percent respectively.
Prior to that, the U.S. S&P 500 Index gained 0.1 percent to edge near the record high touched last week, thanks to the robust global economy and solid corporate earnings.
As third-quarter earnings season nears the half-way mark, 74 percent of U.S. companies have topped expectations, above the 72 percent beat rate for the past four quarters.
The U.S. House of Representatives helped pave the way on Thursday for deep tax cuts sought by President Donald Trump, passing a budget blueprint for fiscal 2018 that will enable the tax legislation to win congressional approval without any Democratic votes.
"On the whole, growth shares were strong yesterday both in the U.S. and in Europe. And now that the Republicans can pass the tax reform, the tax cut debate now looks set to kick off next week," said Nobuhiko Kuramochi, chief strategist at Mizuho Securities.
German shares hit record high on Thursday while the pan-European Eurofirst 300 Index gained 1.1 percent, its biggest gains in 3 1/2 months, after the ECB extended its bond buying programme to September.
Although the ECB halved the size of its bond purchasing to 30 billion euro per month from January, it also promised years of stimulus and even left the door open to backtracking.
Euro zone bond yields plunged, with the benchmark 10-year German Bund yield falling about 6 basis points to 0.42 percent, the biggest daily fall in nine months.
Yields on debt issued by Southern European countries seen as less creditworthy also fell, with the premium that investors demand from Italian bonds falling to 1.53 percentage points, near 7 1/2-month low touched in early August.
Spanish debt yields also fell on hopes of a breakthrough in the Catalan crisis, although the risk of direct confrontation between Madrid and Barcelona remains.
The Spanish Senate is to due to approve the take-over of Catalonia`s institutions and police on Friday, and give the government in Madrid the power to remove the Catalan president, a move that could spark civil protests.
In the currency market, the ECB`s dovish stance sent the euro to a three-month low of $1.1631.
The dollar was little moved against the yen at 114.09, near Wednesday`s three-month high of 114.245.
The Australian dollar fell to 3 1/2-month low of $0.7625 after Australia`s conservative coalition government lost its one-seat parliamentary majority following a High Court ruling that Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce is ineligible to remain in parliament. The court has now ordered a by-election for Joyce`s seat.
Australia`s S&P/ASX200 fell about 0.2 percent after the news of Joyce`s disqualification.
In commodities, Brent crude futures held firm after closing at a 27-month high on Thursday as the market focused in on Saudi Arabia`s comments about ending a global supply glut, brushing off an unexpected increase in U.S. crude inventories and high U.S. production and exports.
Brent stood little changed at $59.37 a barrel, just below Thursday`s high of $59.55
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fetched $52.61 a barrel, almost flat from Thursday`s six-month closing high.

All About Spike - Print Version
[Back to Main Site]
[Back to Story Page]
The Evil Hairdresser Strikes Back
NOTE: this is a
Written 4/11/02.
Spike was helping Dawn with her English homework. Cause he's English, you see. And he used to write poetry so he is very intellectual.
"Spike, I just don't see it. I don't see what's the big with Shakespeare."
Spike rolled his heart-stoppingly gorgeous blue eyes. "You've got to speak it, kibbles n' bits."
"A-ha!" came a voice as Spike's front door to his crypt smashed open with a sickening thud. Buffy stood there, stake in hand.
"Bloomin' onion, that's the third door you've broken this week!" Spike said. The Slayer just loved to break things... his door, his bloody HEART, an occasional rib.
"Dawn, I told you to go straight home after school!" Buffy said sternly.
Dawn stood up and confronted her sister. "Listen, you. I have about 15 pounds and 4 inches on you now, so quit pushing me around!"
Buffy felt bad. She stroked Dawn's hair, then tried to get all the residual Citre Shine off her palm by wiping it on her $ 130 jeans.
"Sorry, Dawnie... It's just that Spike is evil."
"I was just elpin' the little chicken mcnugget out with her bloomin' homework," Spike grumbled, lighting up a cigarette. Buffy watched him suck on the tip of the cigarette and let out a groan of desire.
"You alright, Slayer?" Spike said, eyebrow raised. Buffy wiped the drool off her chin.
"Yeah, just some, uh, cramps."
Spike grinned to himself and sniffed. He couldn't smell her monthly friend on 'er. Vanilla shampoo, check. Vanilla Body Wash, check. The overpowering smell of her arousal whenever she was near him, check. But not a lick o' blood. He kept sniffing through his nose.
Buffy raised her eyebrows. "You getting a cold, Spike?"
"What? No, sorry."
Dawn grabbed the Shakespeare play from Spike's hands.
"Look, Buffy... see? He was helping me decipher this stupid Othello play."
Buffy grabbed the book and looked down.
"'One that loved not wisely but too well.' Hmm," Buffy read flatly. She looked up. Buffy's gloriously green eyes met Spike's blindingly blue eyes.
Spike took the book quietly and gently from her hand. "No, no, Pet. It's like a heartbeat... you say it with your heart."
"But you don't have a heartbeat," Buffy interrupted.
"Good point. I'll 'ave to use yours, then." He put his hand over Buffy's heart, and she gulped in pre-orgasmic, breathless anticipation.
"One that loved not wisely... but Too. Well." Spike repeated the line, the words rolling off his tongue in that wonderful accent. His glorious cheekbones jutted out as he swallowed, his hand still over Buffy's heart. Grrr, no bra, Spike thought. Cor!
"Oh, Spike," Buffy moaned, her hands suddenly unbuckling his belt.
"Ew!" Dawn shrieked. "You guys, I'm standing Right HERE!" They had totally forgotten she was standing there.
"Get out Get out GET OUT!" Buffy and Spike yelled in unison at the Dawnster Formerly Known as Key while they proceeded to grope each other in a blinding haze of nummy passion.
"Fine!" Dawn said, stealing Spike's television as she left. She simply could not control her cleptomaniacal impulses that were obviously a cry for help.
"Come, my dear love, / The purchase made, the fruits are to ensue; / That profit's yet to come 'twixt me and you," Spikey whispered into Buffy's ear.
"Huh?" she breathed while his sensual, cool, ice cube-like hands ran over her skin like... well, pretty much like ice cubes.
" 's from Othello, Pet," he said. "I was a poet once, you know, so I know lots about poetry. Wanna hear a little ditty I wrote 'bout you?"
"Uh, maybe after we do it 6 or 7 times, 'kay? Times' a wastin."
"Right. Sorry."
Much later, Buffy and Spike woke up underneath the fridge.
"Oops, we missed the bed again," Buffy said.
"Cor, the door is in my crotch," Spike grumbled, eyes closed. "I think I like being under those heavy rugs better." He went to kiss Buffy, but gasped in shock when he opened his eyes.
"Cor-o-rama!" Spike said. "Your bloody hair... it's... it's..."
"What? What?" Buffy said, feeling her hair. "Damn you vampires and your lack of mirrors!!! You can walk around in sunlight now, Spike. You eat food. So for the love of God, get a mirror in this place!" She jumped up and grabbed her purse, searching frantically for her compact.
"Oh. No. Oh. God. NOOOO!" Buffy dropped her compact. Her hair... it was drab, her roots were showing, and it was badly styled... like big Jersey hair, only with more hair spray. "What the hell has happened?"
She looked over at Spike, and then started crying.
"Your hair!" Buffy cried. "It's... it's BROWN!"
"Bloody ELL!" Spike screeched. "It can't be! Crikey! I'm Mr. Peroxide!!! I'm All. About. Peroxide!!! What in sod's name is 'appenin?!?!"
"I'll figure this out. I'm the Slayer, dammit. It's what I do." Buffy managed to locate her clothes which were lying about all over the place and hastily got dressed. She looked at her mousy brown-haired lover. He looked geeky, but still kinda cute.
"Don't worry, Spike. It'll be okay."
He grinned. "I have faith in you. Be careful out there, luv. Whatever's out there that gave us our ultimate bad hair days... who knows what kind of power we're dealing with."
Buffy nodded and left.
As she walked through the streets of Sunnydale, she ran into no one. NO ONE. Why was it always so freaking deserted in this town? Just then, a few extras scurried by with horrendous hair-do's. Or rather, hair-don'ts.
Hmm, Buffy thought, so it's NOT just me and the Spikester. She went to Xander and Anya's and knocked on the door. Anya answered.
"Oh man! They got to you too!!!" Buffy cried, hugging Anya in support. Anya's hair was a horrible pale pasty shade of blonde that completely washed out her features, and it was all dry and overprocessed.
"Please stop hugging me. And what are you talking about?"
"There's a curse on the town. Everyone has horrible hair styles!"
Anya frowned. "Actually, I paid to have this done. What, you don't like it???"
Buffy blushed. "Oh, I'm sorry, An. I thought... I mean, it's just... oh nevermind. Is Xander here?"
Anya rolled her eyes. "Nope. Willow was upset so Xander went to go talk to her. Whatever. It's not as if they are really friends anymore."
"Just tell me where they are."
"At your house."
Buffy ran like the wind to her home. Xander, Dawn, and Willow were all sitting in the living room, looking deeply stressed. Xander had the worst mullet she had ever seen, Dawn's once blindingly shiny hair was now dull, and Willow had a really bad perm.
She hugged each of them, one by one. It was too horrible to even look at each other, so Buffy stared at her hands. Dawn brushed fiercely at her hair to try and get the sheen back. Willow took a pick out of her back pocket and tried to do something with her horrendously strange waves.
"What do we do, Buffy?" Mullet-head Harris said.
"I wish Giles were here," Buffy whispered, attempting to run a hand through her hair only to have it get stuck in about 5 ounces of Aqua Net.
"Did someone say my name?"
"GILES!" Buffy shouted in joy when she saw her former watcher standing in the hall. She jumped up to hug him. It was so good to see him, even if he did have a gigantic Afro.
After all the hugging was done with, Willow went to go make tea.
"When did you get here? And why? And how? And what's with your Afro?" Xander said.
Giles took off his glasses and cleaned them furiously. "Well, I read of a prophecy and I knew it would strike Sunnydale today. Had I known it would be this bad..." He touched his hair sadly.
Just then Tara and Spike burst through the door. He was carrying her. Her hair was a horrible bright red that stuck out in unflattering wild curls. She was crying softly.
"Oh my Goddess!" Willow said. "What happened?"
"She was being attacked by a group of people who thought she was Carrot Top," Spike said. He put her down on the couch. "Go get her some water, and a bloody hat," Spike said gently.
"Okay, you can leave now, Deadboy," Xander said to Spike. "We're her friends, we can take care of her."
"He saved my life," Tara said. "Get off his case."
"Why, Tara! You grew a backbone while I was gone!" Giles said proudly, hugging her. Then he shook Spike's hand. "You did a good thing, here, Spike. And your hair looks much healthier that way."
"Thanks, mate. Wish I could see it."
"I think it's kinda cute," Buffy said, grinning at him. Spike grinned back. The sizzling chemistry between them was visible. Except to Xander, who covered his eyes with his hands.
"Well, it's late. I suggest we all get some rest, and then work this out in the morning. We should all stay here. This is an evil force unlike any we've ever seen, and I want to be sure we're all safe."
"Good idea," Buffy said. "Giles, you take the guest room. Xander, you can sleep on the couch."
"Tara should sleep on the, um, floor in my room!" Willow said, making googly eyes at Tara. Tara nodded enthusiastically.
"And, uh... Spike, you can sleep in the basement, where you belong, you evil, disgusting thing," Buffy announced. "But first, can you help me, uh, flip my mattress? It's supposed to be flipped twice a year."
"Sure, lu... uh, Slayer." Buffy and Spike literally ran upstairs together, taking the steps two at a time.
"It is so great seeing you again, Giles," Willow said. "It isn't the same without you."
Giles smiled warmly. There was a loud thud from upstairs. Giles raised his eyes to the ceilng. The thud was followed by a squeaking headboard and some loud moaning.
Xander turned on the television and turned up the volume. "La la la, what a great show I'm watching!" he said, trying to drown out the sounds from upstairs.
The next day, when they all woke, their horrible hair styles hadn't changed. They all gathered around the kitchen table, working on a plan of action. Everyone except Spike and Buffy.
Giles sipped at his tea and read through The Big Book O' Prophecies (yours from Amazon.com for only $39.95!). Willow and Tara continued to make googly eyes at each other while they made blueberry pancakes. Dawn was putting Wesson Oil on her hair to try and make it shine again, but to no avail.
"Oh, bloody 'ell, I love you, Slayah! Yeah! Who's your daddy?!?" Spike cried from upstairs. Buffy could be heard screaming in passion. "That's it, Spike. Fill me with your cold seed!!!"
Xander had his fingers in his ears and was singing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" at the top of his lungs. To try and distract him further, Giles asked him, "Where is Anya? Why isn't she here?"
"I called her last night and told her to come over, but she said she was fine and she didn't have to worry. Hmm, I wonder what she meant by that," Xander said.
Finally Spike and Buffy came downstairs. They were in the same clothes they were in last night and they were both limping and grinning at each other like idiots.
"Spike, what are you doing here?" Xander asked innocently. "I thought you went home last night?"
"I think I've found something!" Giles interrupted. "According to this ancient text, a former vengeance demon would bring about a fashion disaster for her own gains..."
"That's right!" Anya said from the doorway. They all gasped.
"YOU did this?" Buffy said furiously.
"Well, Halfrek wanted to give me a nice wedding present, and I told her I wanted to be the most beautiful person at my wedding, and next thing I know she said "Done" and put a hair-do nightmare curse on all of Sunnydale... but I never knew it would be this bad. I thought it would only occur on the day of the wedding and be lifted once it was over!" Anya felt very bad.
"Anya, you better cancel this curse immediately, or I shall take the Magic Box away from you and turn it into a rabbit store!"
"NOOO!" Anya screamed. "I'm sorry! I will fix this, I promise. Please, anything but rabbits."
Xander hugged her. "It's okay, An. We forgive you. Hey, remember I summoned a dancing demon that resulting in innocent people dying? No big!"
"Yeah, we all do dumb stuff, like when I mind-raped my girlfriend," Willow said.
"Yes, and when I left you all for really weak reasons," Giles added.
"Yes, and when I stole Spike's TV. Sorry about that," Dawn said, giving Spike his TV back. Spike gave her a hug and forgave her.
"Yes, and when I had those really short bangs a few years ago. What was I thinking??" Buffy said.
"Yes, and when I chained Buffy up and zapped her with a stun gun. Woopsie!" Spike said.
"So you see, An, don't feel bad." Xander said, giving her a big hug. "Shit happens."
"Oh, you guys..." Anya teared up. "You're the best friends an ex-vengeance demon could ever have."
They all laughed. Giles decided to stay in town for good, Dawn decided to give up flouncing, stealing, and screeching, Xander and Spike became good friends even though he still lived in denial about Buffy and Spike's relationship, even after they got married and had babies. Willow and Tara made up, and Willow dropped the whole addiction bullshit thing. And they all lived happily. Ever. After.

Florida GOP narrows voter registration gap with Democrats to historic low
Florida Republicans have cut the voter registration gap with Democrats to a historic low, giving the GOP a boost during early voting.
Politico reported Thursday night that the difference in registration numbers for voters in the battleground state is the lowest in at least three decades.
Republicans now trail Democrats by just 134,242 registered voters, down from 327,483 in 2016.
Four years ago, President Trump won the Sunshine State by fewer than 113,000 votes.
The gain is purportedly the result of the Trump campaign's in-person canvassing and voter registration operation. The campaign went door-to-door in Florida despite health restrictions and the threat of the coronavirus pandemic.
Politico noted that the two parties are statistically almost evenly matched when it comes to raw numbers. Democrats hold a narrow 1% lead, and final voter registration data released by Florida election officials on Thursday show 5.3 million Democrats, 5.1 million Republicans and 3.7 million people with no major party affiliation.
In recent weeks, Democrats in Florida have focused on increasing vote-by-mail turnout, assisting them in clinching 430,000 more votes than Republicans.
Alternatively, President Trump has warned American voters against voting by mail, citing the potential of widespread fraud — which experts say is unlikely.
Republicans are expected to turn out mainly on Election Day — something the president is banking on to counter Democrats' massive early voting numbers.
Although Democrat Joe Biden's campaign has said it has no regrets about going virtual, others in the Democratic Party remain worried about the shift.
While face-to-face registration activities are limited for the Florida Democratic Party, outside groups like Forward Florida Action have continued to register voters.
Democrats have also zeroed in on low-propensity voters and of the 2 million votes cast in Florida so far, the party has banked 113,000 more ballots than Republicans from residents who didn't vote four years ago.
In the days before the state's Oct. 5 registration deadline, Florida Republicans whittled down the Democratic advantage by more than 50,000.
Democrats have held voter registration advantages in Florida for years in part because of North Florida Dixiecrats.
Recent national polling has shown the former vice president's lead in Florida has narrowed to less than one percentage point.

Agriculture, Climate Change and Water
This work, with Professor Charles Sabel, examines developments in Ireland's approach to sustainable agriculture in recent years, with a particular focus on dairy and its impact on GHG emissions and water quality. It documents the actions of Bord Bia, the EPA, the dairy cooperatives and farm organizations and Teagasc, and the growing collaboration among them. It suggests that working in parallel these developments are a promising means of organizing resources and stakeholders so that actions have the impact of forcing emissions lower over time. It argues that this organisational capacity, which is neither wholly top-down or bottom-up, is quite novel and potentially very informative in the context of a global search for effective ways to solve environmental and climate change problems.
This work will be published in 2019.

Transfer of maps works fine using iPhone 3GS. No problem. Since I transfer several scales, it is a bit long to do it for each file. Is there a way to group all the files in a zip that is decompressed inside Pathaway Express ?
Thanks anyway, this is what I was waiting for since a loooong time on iPhone.
Dropbox transfer iphone3GS
Questions and problems

Should be possible, just tried it on a iphone 4. Just zip your maps in a zip file, put it in the drop-box directory. Open Dropbox on the phone, choose the zip file, wait till it is downloaded, than open it with PathAway Ex with the icon on the lower right. The maps are unzipped within the App. This way you can import several maps at once.

Joomla is free, flexible, and very easy to use. So, it will come as no surprise to you, that it's also one of the most popular CMS (Content Management Systems) in the world.
It's a powerful tool - but just having a great tool is not quite enough. You also need a place to use this tool, or in our case, choose the right hosting provider.
Just as with any CMS, you don't want to cut any corners with performance and security. Well, I mean if you don't want a slow broken website.
Don't forget, speed not only affects your visitor's experience but the overall creating and managing process as well. Good luck building a website when every update you make takes 5 minutes to load.
But you also need to look at this CMS's particular needs to find the best provider. Good customer support, necessary programming languages, and easy installation should be included in every good Joomla plan.
The easiest way to ensure all of these features are included and everything runs smoothly? Look for Joomla specific hosting plans, most companies have these available.
So that was my plan. I used my experiences working and hosting various projects with Joomla, to select only the best fitting plans. You'll find a lot of shared hosting choices on my list, and even one higher-tier VPS.
Below, let's quickly run through what you should look for in the best Joomla hosting choices.
What to Look For When Choosing The Best Joomla Hosting?
Here is a quick list of features that I would look for in a great hosting provider for Joomla. You should know what you need and what you should look for after this list.
Knowledgable Customer Support
It's better to pick providers with Joomla-specific expertise in the server configuration. Those support teams will know all the specifics that come with this CMS, so they can give the necessary help.
Another thing to look for is 24/7 availability of customer support as you never know when the trouble happens. And you can be based in a completely different time zone than the support team.
Security And Updates
An SSL certificate is important to every website right now, it gives you that lock mark next to your URL and more reason for visitors to trust your website. So look for a company that offers free or cheap SSL certificates.
Free DDoS protection is also an option you should look for. It will help protect your website and its data from malicious hackers. It's great if the provider also offers free backups of your data.
At first, decide what amount can you spend on hosting. Most prices you see on the providers' websites have restrictions attached. To get the lowest price you have to buy hosting for at least one or two years.
Check the renewal rates, after the first initial period is over, all the discounts and promotions disappear. So you can find yourself paying $150 a year instead of $30.
Be careful of upselling attempts, while the price can be luring at the start, you can find a completely different amount at the checkout. So read the checkout page carefully.
Infrastructure and resources
I would suggest checking whether the provider uses SSD or HDD drives for their storage space. SSD drives can increase your loading speeds and overall performance, but they're usually more expensive.
It's great if the provider has several server locations available, but overall make sure that it supports the exact location you need.
You can also look for a content delivery network or CDN. It distributes your content through various servers around the world to reach users faster.
Now that we are armed and ready with the knowledge, let's go find that one provider you've been searching for.
Best Joomla Hosting Providers
In the last few months, I tested a lot of different hosting providers using the criteria we talked about before. I looked at the pricing and how well their plans are optimized for Joomla hosting.
After a lot of trial and error, and not so many truly great hosting offers, I found the best providers I can personally recommend.
Right here, below, are the best Joomla hosting providers:
- Bluehost - well-optimized Joomla hosting
- HostGator - hosting with lots of freebies
- Hostinger - cheapest Joomla hosting out there
- InterServer - hosting with a fixed price point
- Liquid Web - powerful Joomla VPS hosting
- A2 Hosting - lightning-fast and stable hosting
1. Bluehost - Well-Optimized Joomla Hosting
Bluehost has been with us since 2003, and in that time it made a name for itself as one of the best all-rounders in the hosting industry. And while it praises itself as WordPress experts, Joomla is no exception.
It gives you a free domain name for one year if you decided to buy annual hosting. And you avoid most of the drawbacks of shared hosting with its resource protection system.
Scalability is another thing where Bluehost excels. You can start with the cheapest plan for a small project, and easily scale resources and hardware to match your new needs.
When talking about performance, there is a reason why Bluehost is so high on this list. For the price you're paying, you can expect loading speeds around 100ms even in multiple locations.
Now, here is the thing, Bluehost doesn't offer any uptime guarantee. And as I tested before, the stability does sometimes drop below 99.9% uptime.
Thankfully, Bluehost offers a 30-day money-back guarantee with all its shared hosting plans. But it doesn't work with domain names, so if you cancel, you'll have to pay $15.99 registration fee.
Next, let's talk about two really important things - pricing and customer support.
Bluehost Pricing
Every Bluehost plan supports Joomla installation, so let's look at its shared hosting options. The cheapest plan costs $2.95/mo and it gives you 50GB of storage space, free SSL certificate, unmetered bandwidth, and standard performance.
For a truly unlimited hosting experience you can upgrade to Plus plan for $5.45 a month. It removes both website and storage space limitations, additionally, you get Spam Expert and $200 in marketing expenses.
Pro package is also available from $13.95 a month. It has everything from the Plus plan but adds dedicated IP, website backups, and upgrades you to a high-performance server.
Note: At Bluehost, you can only buy shared hosting for 12, 24, or 36 months period.
At the checkout, you can find extra security, SEO, or backup add-ons. So make sure you do truly need them since it all can add up to a hefty sum.
Bluehost Support
The support here is also top-notch, you can reach it 24/7 by phone, email, or live chat system. And the support teams are real professionals when it comes to Joomla hosting.
In our Bluehost review, we tested its live chat and phone support, and you can expect fast responses to both tickets and messages. What I liked the most were straight and helpful answers, without any linking to other pages to do my own research, what a relief.
And there's also a knowledge base available for you to use. It has a lot of useful information regarding Joomla and hosting in general, as well as, some quick start guides for your favorite CMS.
Bluehost is one of the best-optimized hosting providers for Joomla. It gives you lots of features and stable performance for a truly decent price.
- Free domain name
- 24/7 customer support
- Joomla-specific features
- Just annual plans available
2. HostGator - Hosting for Joomla With Lots of Freebies
HostGator is a large and well-known hosting provider that has quite the selection of services available. And Joomla, of course, is no exception, every plan supports it and you can easily set it up with 1-click installs.
What's great about HostGator, is that it offers a complete transfer of all your files and data for free. So if you already have a Joomla website you can transfer all the scripts and databases without any real trouble.
You can expect a regular 99.9% uptime rate guarantee at HostGator. And during our review, I got to test it's shared plans and saw great results with a perfect 100% uptime score.
As for loading speeds, using uptime monitor I got server response times of around 300ms. While that's not the fastest time on this list, it's also way better than most hosting providers.
And you can add an extended 45-day money-back guarantee to this whole offer, keeping your money a bit safer. This, however, does not cover set up or domain registration fees, so keep that in mind when canceling.
And hey, since we all love alligators, HostGator actually invests in the environment and sustainable energy. It uses renewable energy credits (REC's) to run its data centers and funds wind turbines to combat climate change.
But what about the price? And what help can you expect?
HostGator Pricing
HostGator's 3 shared hosting plans start at $2.75 a month. This cheapest plan gives you a single domain, unlimited storage space, unmetered bandwidth, and unlimited email accounts.
But do keep in mind that while disk space is unmetered, HostGator uses HDD drives for this purpose. It can increase your loading times and affect the overall work of your website, so it's a double-edged sword.
While the starting plan is perfectly enough for beginners, you can upgrade it to the Business plan for $5.95 a month. It removes the single domain restriction and gives you a free dedicated IP and a Positive SSL certificate.
Note: There are quite a lot of upselling attempts at the checkout, so make sure you uncheck the features you don't need.
HostGator Support
You can expect 24/7 customer support here by phone, live chat, or fax options. HostGator has international, local, and toll-free phone numbers, so you can get help no matter the location.
One thing to note here is that HostGator doesn't truly offer any simple way to get help by email. But that's really not that big of a deal since live chat support is fast and responds with informative answers.
If you're more of a visual learner, like me, you will be happy to find out that HostGator has more than 500 video tutorials available. So you'll definitely find something useful here.
HostGator can offer great performance, helpful live chat support, and free domain name with your Joomla Hosting.
- Unmetered bandwidth
- 1-click Joomla install
- Free domain name
- HDD drives used
3. Hostinger - Cheapest Joomla Hosting out There
You, probably were though, just like I was, that it can't be both cheap and good, or fast and cheap. Well, it's time to relearn something, because Hostinger really gives you all - cheap price, speed, and great features.
Hostinger can be proud of is its performance and speed. For a provider that offers such low prices, it actually guarantees you a 99.9% uptime rate. And it keeps its promises.
The response time is even better here. After our Hostinger review, I found that it averages around 288ms. And when most providers are stuck around 500-600ms, that's pretty impressive.
Another thing that adds to Hostinger speed and stability is the fact that it has 7 data centers around the world. These locations include the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Lithuania, Singapore, Brazil, and Indonesia.
And Hostinger has specific Joomla optimized servers, with them you can expect even smoother website loading.
Hostinger offers a standard 30-days money-back guarantee for all of its shared hosting plans. So you can try it, and even if you don't like it, you won't lose anything.
Even better, is the fact that you get a free domain name with any annual or longer hosting option. If you're serious about your project, this is a great way to save some extra money.
But how cheap is Hostinger? And can it brag about its customer support?
Hostinger Pricing
The most inexpensive plan cost just $0.80 a month, thats even cheaper than a simple cup of coffee. With this plan, you get 10GB of storage space, 100GB of bandwidth, 1 email account, and the ability to host one website.
The most advanced shared plan costs $3.45 a month, it gives you a free SSL certificate, daily backups, and 4 times the processing power.
Storage space here is a bit trickier, it's always limited. Even the highest Business plan only supports 30GB of SSD storage. Keep that in mind if you're planning a media-heavy project.
Note: You can save even more by entering HOSTINGREVIEW coupon code at the check out to save 10%.
If your business requires additional resources, you can upgrade to one of their VPS or dedicated hosting packages. It offers a bit more flexibility and power than Hostinger's shared plans.
Hostinger Support
Hostinger's support works a bit differently than most providers on this list. While you do get a 24/7 support availability, there's no email or phone option.
Instead, you get a fast and helpful live chat team that responds quickly to your needs. As well as A knowledgebase full of the most asked questions both about hosting in general and about Joomla.
Hostinger also has a tutorial page available, here you can find anything from a simple app install to server configuration guideS. And for Joomla, there are more than 30 tutorials available.
Hostinger offers cheap, yet powerful and flexible shared hosting package. It will be more than enough for any Joomla website.
- Joomla specific hosting plans
- Unlimited bandwidth
- Super cheap
- No email or phone support
4. InterServer - Joomla Hosting With a Fixed Price Point
InterServer offers a package of services all optimized for Joomla CMS. It includes shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting, but what makes this provider stand out it's is pricing and security features.
InterServer has its own in-house security package called InterShield Security, which is included for free with each purchase. It includes machine learning Firewall, in-house virus database, and web attack blocking.
It offers a ton of useful features including automatic Joomla core and plugin updates, as well as, free daily backups of your data.
When hosting here you also get a 99.9% uptime guarantee. As we found out in our review, it truly delivers on this promise while also giving response times below 100ms.
What's even better is that you get a completely free website migration. Forget about headache of how and what to transfer, InterServer's teams will do it quickly and painlessly.
It gives a pretty standard 30-days money-back guarantee. So you can try it without the risk of losing your money.
But, what's so important about InterServer's pricing?
InterServer Pricing
InterServer differs from other providers on this list by offering just one shared hosting plan for $5 a month. As you may guess, it holds everything you will need, including unlimited storage and unmetered bandwidth.
To make this offer even more appealing, you get a free SSL certificate and free CloudFlare CDN with this hosting plan.
InterServer has more than 450 cloud apps that you can install by just one click of a button. And you can have an unlimited number of email accounts linked to your domain name.
Note: Since you don't get a free domain name here, you can use a special deal when buying hosting to get a domain name just for $1.99/year.
Having just one option means you can forget about wildly different renewal prices or extra fees hidden somewhere. While others change their minds constantly, InterServer has one price to rule them all.
InterServer Support
InterServer also has expert 24/7/365 customer support available by phone, live chat, and ticket options. For technical support, it advises to use tickets, and live chat for billing ant simple questions.
Phone support here is taken pretty seriously. You can find 5 different support phone numbers for the USA, England, Isreal, Brazil, and Mexico.
There's quite a large knowledgebase available for those wanting to solve problems on their own. And it even has a specialized support page full of Joomla tutorials and tips.
InterServer offers a fixed price shared hosting plan that has everything you need - strong security, fast loading times, and great uptime.
- InterShield security
- Fixed point price
- 24/7 customer support
- Only one shared plan
5. Liquid Web - Powerful Joomla VPS Hosting
You may have never heard the name Liquid Web, it's a hosting provider that doesn't offer any shared or super cheap hosting plans. Instead, they offer ludicrously fast support, 100% uptime, and pro-level services.
Yes, VPS is naturally more expensive than shared hosting but at the same time, you get the maximum performance and features package. For example, every VPS comes with Enhances Security, to make your servers extra resistant.
CloudFlare CDN is also included with every plan. It will help you reduce loading times by distributing your website's data to a server closest to visitors' location.
With every VPS you get 100GB of local website backups completely for free. And if that's not enough, you can get extra cloud backups or full-servers snapshots for additional security.
When it comes to performance, Liquid Web isn't kidding around and promises you a 100% uptime guarantee. Not a lot of providers can have that promise, but Liquid Web goes one step further.
If for some reason you experience downtime, you will be compensated 10 times the amount. So for 1 hour of downtime, you would get 10 hours free added to your hosting plan.
What price can you expect to pay for VPS? And what about support options if you run into trouble?
Liquid Web Pricing
Liquid Web sadly doesn't have shared hosting options, instead, you can get a VPS starting from $29 a month. For this price, you get 40GB of storage space, 2GB of RAM, 2 vCPU's, and a free 100GB backup.
There are 4 main choices available for VPS. The most expensive plan is $129 a month for 16GB of RAM, 200GB of storage space, and 10 TB of bandwidth.
You can choose both windows and Linux servers to host your website. But Windows servers start from $74 a month and include everything from the second tier Linux option.
And there's basically no upselling at the checkout because everything you need is included already. It even allows you to make one time payments, so your credit card won't be automatically rebilled if you forget something.
Note: While all other hardware increases with each plan, bandwidth stays always capped at 10TB.
If you need something truly powerful for your project, Liquid Web also offers dedicated server hosting. It starts at $149/month for 2x 240GB SSD storage space, 16GB of RAM, and a 4 core Intel Xeon 1230 V6.
Liquid Web Support
Liquid Web calls its customer support teams the most helpful humans in hosting, and for a good reason. You can get 24/7 customer support by phone, email, live chat, or helpdesk.
You are guaranteed the initial response time of just 59 seconds with phone and live chat support. And as I found out during our Liquid Web review, it truly delivers on those promises.
It has 3 phone support options available. One for support, one for billing questions, and one just to help you when choosing the right hosting plan.
While Liquid Web is not the cheapest provider, the quality of support and performance you get makes up for the higher price point.
- One time payments
- Fast support teams
- Free CDN
- No shared hosting
6. A2 Hosting - Lightning-Fast and Stable Hosting for Joomla
A2 Hosting can offer everything you may expect from a good Joomla provider. The CMS here is pre-installed, and Joomla optimization will configure your website automatically so you could get the best security settings.
But thats not all, as we found out in our A2 hosting review it also has stable uptime and great performance. It actually promises you a 99.9% uptime rate with each plan.
A2 Hosting also uses fast SSD servers, leaving companies still using slow and cheap HDD discs way behind.
One thing to note is that you don't get a free domain name when buying hosting. So you will have to take care of that on your own.
But A2 Hosting offers multiple server locations for its shared hosting plans. You can choose from Michigan (US east coast), Arizona (US west coast), Amsterdam (Europe), and Singapore (Asia).
Note: At the checkout, you will have quite a lot of upselling and extra features, so make sure you read everything and choose only what you need.
A2 Hosting offers one of the longest money-back guarantees in the industry, giving you the ability to get a refund no matter how much time has passed.
Now that we know that A2 Hosting is fast, let's find out how much this speed will cost us.
A2 Hosting Pricing
The starting plan here is Lite and costs $2.94/mo, it only allows you to host one website. But this plan will also give you unlimited storage space and bandwidth, as well as, a free SSL certificate and easy site migration.
It's uncommon for hosts to include unlimited bandwidth and storage in their cheapest plan - so A2 Hosting gets a plus for that. Although, if you want a complete package, with unlimited websites and databases, you can choose the Swift plan for $4.90/month.
And the most advanced plan for $9.31/mo gives users access to Turbo servers which promise to increase websites' speed by 20 times.

- Turbo option
- Unlimited storage and bandwidth

What's The Best Joomla Hosting For You?
Joomla is open-source and, in one form or another, it's available with most shared hosting providers. However, choosing a Joomla-specific host can have a lot of benefits making your work easier.
After I listed the best Joomla hosting providers I could find, it's now up to you to pick the right one. All of these providers have quality services, support, and fast speeds so you don't have to worry about any of these.
And, again, let's run through a list of providers and why I think you should check them out:
- Bluehost is well-optimized and great for starting a Joomla website.
- HostGator has a lot of free features and tools that it gives with its Joomla plans.
- Hostinger has one of the cheapest Joomla orientated shared hosting plans.
- InterServer has an all-inclusive Joomla package for a fixed price.
- Liquid Web has powerful and professional Joomla VPS hosting.
- A2 Hosting has turbo fast Joomla servers with great stability.
Always look at renewal prices and upselling attempts before choosing, make sure the provider can support your needs and you can trust it.
Overall, all of these options above will give you great performance and terrific value. And the last decision usually boils down to your individual needs and preferences, so choose wisely.
What do you think about these providers? Do you think there are some great ones that I've missed? Let me know down below.
Best Joomla Hosting FAQ
Even after all this information, you still might have some questions left. I thought of the topics I get asked the most and the ones most prevalent online.
So below, you can find a few answers to the most searched questions about Joomla.
What are the requirements to Run Joomla?
To run Joomla, there are two requirements - PHP support and MySQL. Now, most providers used them.
But I suggest double-checking whether the provider can support Joomla or whether it has Joomla specific plans.
Is Joomla Beginner Friendly?
While it's not difficult to learn how to work with Joomla, I wouldn't confidentially say it's very beginner-friendly. If you just want to make a blog or a simple website, it can be overkill.
But there are a lot of different help and tutorial sources online. From forums to online teaching platforms, the best thing is that you can learn it the way you want.
So if you spare a bit of your time to learn its nuances, you'll have a powerful content management system that can create any website or project.
What are Alternatives to Joomla?
The most popular alternatives have to be WordPress and Drupal.
WordPress is really flexible and customizable, so it's great for developers. But at the same time, it's easy to learn for new users and the administration panel is clear and simple.
Drupal is very similar in flexibility and in some places can have even more features for developers. It has a bit bigger learning curve for beginners, so it can take a bit of time to master.
The great thing is that most of these CMS's operate by a very similar structure. So if you have experience with one, you'll need to adapt rather than relearn everything from the start.

SIC-MMAB: Synchronisation Involves Communication in Multiplayer Multi-Armed Bandits
Part of: Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 32 (NIPS 2019)[PDF] [BibTeX] [Supplemental] [Reviews] [Author Feedback] [Meta Review] [Sourcecode]
Conference Event Type: Poster
Motivated by cognitive radio networks, we consider the stochastic multiplayer multi-armed bandit problem, where several players pull arms simultaneously and collisions occur if one of them is pulled by several players at the same stage. We present a decentralized algorithm that achieves the same performance as a centralized one, contradicting the existing lower bounds for that problem. This is possible by ``hacking'' the standard model by constructing a communication protocol between players that deliberately enforces collisions, allowing them to share their information at a negligible cost. This motivates the introduction of a more appropriate dynamic setting without sensing, where similar communication protocols are no longer possible. However, we show that the logarithmic growth of the regret is still achievable for this model with a new algorithm.

New Studies Raise Alarms About the State of Ice in Antarctica
For The Real News, I spoke to NASA scientist Claire Parkinson about two new studies that have raised alarms about the state of ice in Antarctica.
One study shows that the gigantic Thwaites Glacier, which is the size of Florida, is at risk of collapse. The disintegration and melting of that glacier could raise global sea levels by half a meter.
The second study shows that, from 2014-2017, the extent of Antarctic sea ice fell to its lowest level in 40 years of record-keeping.

The Press Gallery's end of year party celebrates the end of another grueling year in politics and the news media's duty to report what happens in Parliament. While recent years have seen an unhinged gatecrasher and the Great Wine Theft, it is usually a civilized affair where journalists and politicians mingle affably. I count myself lucky to get invited but I guess that comes with working for an organisation that funds journalists to go to Asian countries.
Whilst enjoying the generous hospitality of Parliament's journalists, it is always interesting to catch up with former colleagues and friends. On this occasion, a senior Radio New Zealand journalist declared to me that journalists should not be blogging. I naturally disagreed. Blogs are another tool for journalists to engage with readers by expressing themselves with more colour and personality than they would normally have licence to do.
But many news industry traditionalists believe blogging and micro-blogging undermines a journalist's reputation for objectivity and integrity because blogs are, by their very nature, opinionated. It's an issue that does reveal one kind of tension as the 'legacy media' tries to come to terms with the disruption to its industry caused by the internet, evolving information and communications technology and changing consumer preferences.
The day of the Press Gallery party, the Australian union representing journalists was invited by its New Zealand counterpart, the EPMU, to launch a new report on the future of journalism entitled Life in the Clickstream 2. Given the conversation I was to have later that day about blogging, it was fitting the venue was the RNZ boardroom in Wellington.
As an aside, the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance that commissioned the Life in a Clickstream 2 report is the same union that embroiled itself in an actors' labour dispute over The Hobbit. But I'm not holding that against them because with respect to journalism, the report is an excellent snapshot of the state of the media industry in Australasia.
As the report shows, fragmenting audiences, declining advertising revenues, shrinking news room budgets, falling newspaper circulations and job cuts are all symptomatic of the current hard times faced by the media industry and harbingers of continuing turmoil ahead.
In Australia, 700 journalists have lost their jobs and sales of national and metropolitan newspapers are falling nearly 3 percent each year. While advertising revenue is growing for pay TV and online advertising, it is relatively sluggish for all other media. In an MEAA survey, 91 percent of respondents said they would not be willing to pay for news online, compared to 3 percent who would with 6 percent saying they didn't know.
But there are some positives. Smartphone and tablet platforms are increasingly seen as potential sources of revenue for news companies either through subscription or advertising or both. The Australian newspaper is selling its iPad application for A$5 and in the month after its release, reported sales of 8500 downloads. The newspaper's owner News Corp has since made iPad applications available for its other Australian metropolitan papers and is planning to launch an exclusive iPad-only newspaper called The Daily. Meanwhile over here, Stuff.co.nz has launched free iPad and iPhone applications while the NZ Herald reports its free iPad application has been downloaded by 24,000 people since it was launched in June.
I also found it very encouraging that the Life in the Clickstream 2 report devotes a pretty comprehensive chapter to online tools, particularly social media. In the chapter's introduction, it quotes The Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger, a leading New Media advocate, saying "a failure to experiment is more dangerous than trying new things". There is an explanatory section on Twitter and microblogging. Facebook and social networks, crowdsourcing, Wikileaks, expert directories, live blogging, user generated content and content sharing are also explored.
Perhaps the section that resonated most with me concerned how news organisations can use social media and microblogging platforms to distribute news content and how this was changing the way news reaches audiences. As British journalism academic Paul Bradshaw put it: "Everyone is a newspaper boy now." In the MEAA survey, an astonishing one quarter of respondents said they got their news through Twitter and Facebook. It seems logical that this proportion will only increase as the use of social media grows in popularity.
The report notes the problem that the traditional or legacy media model, in that it packages its content to its audiences regardless of whether or not it interests or concerns them. The report goes on to say the consensus among many media thinkers is that breaking out of this mindset and rethinking the way content reaches audiences is the only way forward. Does that mean that journalists should be blogging? Perhaps it does.
Post script: Coincidentally after I finished this piece, I found this Columbia Journalism Review article via Twitter. Google News product manager Krishna Bharat says "journalists should think of themselves as part of the larger media conversation". I couldn't agree more. But what do you think?

In 2008 a public poll chose Alexander Nevsky as Russia's most notable personality. If you've never heard of him – don't worry! You're not alone, and you've come to the right place. In honor of his 795th birthday,* allow us to offer a short introduction.
It was the spring of '42. The Germans were advancing into Russia from the West, apparently unstoppable, threatening the very existence of the free Russian state. But under the courageous leadership of one man, the Russians earned a decisive victory and eliminated the German threat.
No, we're not talking about Stalingrad. Turns out, the twentieth century wasn't the only one where Russia faced a German invasion. The decisive victory in question actually occurred in the thirteenth century, on April 5, 1242, and the courageous leader was none other than Alexander Nevsky.
Unlike Minin and Pozharsky, heroes from a few centuries later, Nevsky was no commoner. He was, in fact, a prince (knyaz), from a long line of rulers. At the age of 7 he was already nominally ruling Novgorod with his brother. By age 15 he was ruling all by himself, even independent of his father, Yaroslav.
And it was a tricky time to be a ruler. The "Germans" of the thirteenth century were Teutonic knights, ordered by the pope to embark on a crusade toward Finland and maybe crush Russia along the way. Meanwhile, the Mongolian Golden Horde was expanding into Russian territory, crushing armies and demanding tribute. Caught between two (three, if you count a vaguely-threatening Lithuania) fires, throughout his life Nevsky made the choice to buy off the Mongols but fight all the Catholics head-on.
Despite the Teutonic invasion, the people of Novgorod – who considered themselves a republic and retained the right to "fire" princes – kicked Nevsky out of the city in late 1240, just as the Germans took the nearby city of Pskov and the Izborsk fortress. Whatever the Novgorod people were thinking, they soon realized their mistake, as the Germans kept advancing. With the enemy just 30 versts away, the people wrote to Yaroslav and asked to have Alexander back. No other son would do, they said.
This time around, Nevsky delivered. He had already led a successful raid on the knights' Swedish allies on the Neva river (hence Alexander's surname) in July 1240. Upon his return to Novgorod, he immediately cleared the area of German forces, then pursued them toward their Baltic lands. On April 5, 1242, Nevsky retreated onto the thick ice of Chudskoye Lake (Lake Peipus), on the modern-day border with Estonia, and the knights made the mistake of following him. After suffering defeat on the ice, the knights and their allies left Russia alone for at least a century.
Long story short, Russia's most notable historical figure eliminated a major foreign threat to his country at the age of 21. What did you accomplish by that age?
* In fact, based on information on his older brother and the saint he was named after, Nevsky was most likely born May 13, 1221. This date is about one year off from the traditional guess, which placed his birthday on May 30, 1220. (Russian source [x])

In an ever-changing society, it is imperative for mental and behavioral health professionals to remain current. Support and networking are necessary to meet the increasing mental health needs and professional expectations within the school environment. Consulting with other professionals in a confidential setting enhances one's skills and abilities. In order to foster student success, a team approach is most effective.
Unfortunately, professionals providing mental and behavioral health services in urban, non-public schools are often isolated and without collegial partnerships. For these reasons, the Urban School Professional Network was formed.
Board of Directors
Chair: Mary Hanrahan received her Masters in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee in 1992. She has been working as a state licensed School Social Worker for the past 25 years at various schools in the city of Milwaukee.

"Asking Her Out…."Posted: April 6, 2013 Filed under: Alpha, Girl distractions 32 Comments
back in december i posted about my christmas card. oh, you didn't know i gave out an official Dannyfrom504 christmas card? well i did. and it was a smashing success. well, the girl in the christmas card is a VERY good looking mexican girl. yes, she knows about the blog. of course i number closed but there was a problem.
she was married.
i don't fuck with married. but she was in the process of divorcing. but it get's better.
he works at the hospital with me. awkward.
he knows who i am. more awkward.
he's an E4 in my duty section. super awkward. lol.
this meant i had to NOT fuck with her. i could catch a case from the command with her being married. then i texted her one night only to find out she had moved back to cali. oh well, that's why having options is important. my inner damone kicked in and my toes continued tapping.
one night i go the club to visit my girl Lynn and she was back. and not married. game on. well, i thought i deleted her number because she was in cali so i told her to give me her #. as she punched it in she told me i already it. i looked at my phone, there it was.
i had forgotten her name. lol. she'd only been gone a month. i swear to God this is true. i don't really put much stock in getting numbers anymore because i get so many, and follow up on so few. i really need to go through my phone and start deleting because i can't put a face to most of these girls anymore. srslee. well, she's only gonna be in norf florida for another month or so. which is perfect. i KNOW she dtf. but she's also 23 and prone to flake. PLUS she's from cali, attractive, and has MAD game. i watch her work guys and she's viciously good. now, since she's leaving soon it's more likely that she'll sleep with me and not really think too much about it…..because she's leaving.
oh, and when i first realized i was talking to her again (she changed her hair color so i didn't realize it was her at first), the first thing she asked was how the christmas card went over. what does that tell you class? now you know the back-story to this little soap opera…..
i first found out they were remaking "evil dead" and i was fucking PISSED. great another classic movie getting remade into a piece of shit. then i found out sam raimi and bruce campbell were producing it. ROCK ON!!!! i saw the trailer and knew this was going to be one of the few movies i see in theater. see, i'm a horror movie fanatic. watched halloween wide eyed at 6 and alien at 8-9 while my mom cowered. LOVE the horror genre.
then i figured, i'd take miss mexicana with me. say what you want about the unoriginality of taking a woman to the movies. but it's only beta if it's to see a movie you could give a shit about and as unoriginal idea you THINK she might like. no matter what- I AM SEEING THIS MOVIE. with or without her. but taking a woman to a horror movie is fucking great. it's a great dopamine release when she gets scared and she grabs on to you. but there's a secret here.
you should see the movie alone before you take her.
first, you want to KNOW when the brutal parts are coming so you seem unfazed when it happens in her presence. secondly, you can playfully neg her for being so scared. just don't be a dummy and say, "wait watch this." DOH. i know a guy that did that. lol.
now. i'm NOT "asking her out". i'm telling her i'm going to see the movie and she's coming with me. BIG DIFFERENCE. asking her gives the impression she has a choice. i'm telling her she's going. i'll text her about her plans for the weekend (still have to do that), then will find out when she's not working, then tell her we're going on said say. does this mean it'll happen- of course not.
i'll keep you guys posted.
oh…..the christmas card. yeah, i still have it. hmmmmmmm. i guess i'll be nice and if you request a copy (NSFW), i'll send you one. BUT, any requests AFTER i wake up tomorrow, get's nada.
ok, these are NOT for the faint of heart. but i'm SOOOOOO down to see this.
stay up.
32 Comments on ""Asking Her Out….""
Now that you've hyped up this Christmas card I'm curious… send one over.
Hope that husband didn't get one of your Christmas cards, haha.
[…] "Asking Her Out…." […]
Lol, I am taking a Panamanian girl to see that movie tonight.
dude, i can't wait to see it. once i heard raimi and bruce were producing it, i KNEW it was going to be sick.
I don't much follow the Hollywood world, but I do like Bruce Campbell. Even Brisco County Jr.
Sorry to hear about the PTSD, Danny. I am grateful my wounds are of the physical variety. Right now I cannot walk because of my hip, but it still seems easier to deal with. Plus it gets me lots of attention from a beautiful Panamian girl…
Christmas please

Mmmm.. Mochi donuts.
Mmmm.. Mochi donuts.
That was short at Ala Moana. As why it was called a pop up shop.
The fried noodles looks ono.
Yacchaba on Kapiolani closed last week: https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ooGkKjSrS/
Before that was Izakaya Mai, Ojiya, and some Chinese restaurant way before that. Only lasted a few years.
Bad luck, limited parking... Hope another izakaya opens in its place.
Bubba Gump to be replaced by The Olive Garden.
From way downtown, The Plaza Club to close.
Like Like Drive Inn will be closing.
Going to miss the place... the hamburger steak, fried rice, pancakes, waffles, etc... but most of all the sign, which I have plenty of photos of. Sad.
I'm still here. Are you?
Harpo's Pizza on Bishop Street is closing.
Even a Zippy's can't survive the pandemic.
Uncle's Fish Market Grill at Pier 38 is closing.
Artizen is closing.
There are places I remember. In my life.
Me and my friends did a lot of pau hanas on the fifth floor pool bar at Hawaii Prince Hotel. It was fun to get treated like tourist royalty, watch the sun set over Ala Wai Yacht Harbor, then sometimes stumble around the corner to Charthouse. Hooboy that place was like a bad dive bar, felt dangerous just walking in the place, but I'll always miss it for the good times there. After a really late night the only place open was Denny's in Waikiki, that was 24 hours, so despite the crappy mainland ambiance the place served as a fun fueling and departure point. 3 in the morning, pull of pancakes, time to go home.
Tony Roma in Waikiki is closing.

A literary treasure: the recently discovered letters that chronicle the passionate affair of a young woman in Paris in 1928. The Passion of Mademoiselle S. is a tour de force. In language that is by turns elegant, impassioned, and surprisingly graphic, these love letters are a portrait of a sexual and psychological obsession. Berthault's notes on the period add dimension and context to the correspondence. But it is the voice of Simone—that of a sensual, vulnerable, and curiously modern woman—that comes through most vibrantly and echoes down the centuries.

Men's Physique Pro Jeremy Buendia Returns From Injury
Men's Physique professional bodybuilder Jeremy Buendia has returned to the gym for the first time since suffering from a serious pec tear.
Injuries seem to have plagued the world of bodybuilding over the past few months. From Phil Heath to Calum Von Moger, there's been some big names that have been left on the sidelines.
For anyone who's at the peak of their bodybuilding career, an injury is a pretty s**t thing to happen. But it appears that Jeremy is on the mend as he looks to take 2018 by storm.
Bouncing Back
Jeremy suffered from a serious pec tear towards the end of 2017, which left him hospitalized as a result. We're pretty sure that he didn't want to lose all of his gains, though.
Obviously, he had to spend some time away from the gym in order to aid the recovery process. But now, he appears to be well on his way to making a full recovery.
Over the past few years, he's become a dominant force in the IFBB Men's Physique division. So, he won't want to be falling down the ranks anytime soon!
Jeremy recently provided an update to his fans via his Instagram page, posting a video of him performing squats in the gym. You can see the video of him training below:
Back at it. Hips are tight as you can see by my range of motion. But nonetheless, I got a great pump and good reconnection back to my quads, glutes and hamstrings. Stretching is going to be major 🔑 – Doubling up on my #AminoJect to help with this soreness that's about to wreck me the next 72 hours! – @evogennutrition – Use code 15offJB
Despite suffering from a nasty looking pec tear, Jeremy Buendia is slowly easing himself back into the gym. The four-time Mr. Olympia Physique champion will look to return to full form sooner rather than later. But, we suggest that he takes it easy. The last thing he'll want is return to the emergency room.
Nevertheless, we wish him well on his recovery, and hope that he makes it to this year's Mr. Olympia. Do you think he'll make a swift return this year? Let us know in the comments section below or on our social media pages.

September 2019 Annual Meeting
Porto, Portugal
The 2019 Camcore Annual Meeting will take place from Tuesday, September 3 to Tuesday, September 10, 2019, in Porto, Portugal.
This meeting will be a bit different in that our primary focus will be strategic planning for the next ten years. Therefore, the field tour part of the meeting will not be as large as normal, but we will have two days at the end of the meeting to visit forestry and tree breeding operations of The Navigator Company, a large Portuguese pulp and paper company. Nuno Borralho, a well-known tree breeder from Portugal, is helping arrange our visit, and we're sure it will be very interesting.
Porto is a large city with plenty of direct international flights. We are working on the specifics of hotels, costs, field tours, etc., and more details will follow soon. We hope to keep the overall cost of the meeting somewhat less than our typical full 10-day meeting.
Once again, this will be a very important meeting where we define our strategic priorities for the next ten years. It is important that all members are represented as we make discuss a number of important issues. Please put these dates on your calendar, and begin the process of requesting permission to attend. We look forward to seeing everyone in Portugal in September.

Rupan Sansei: Kiri no Elusive
This latest adventure sees the return of another old Lupin III villain, this time Mamo, who last appeared in the 13th episode of the first TV series. Why bring back an old villain? Because it has been 40-years since Monkey Punch started the manga. However, one doesn't have to have seen the original episode to view this special as the two aren't linked. If anything, while the premise of Mamo is the same, this is a new story with Lupin and Mamo not having met before.
While there have been some minor sci-fi elements before in Lupin III, I don't recall one quite like this. I found I rather enjoyed having Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon sent to the past. I would have preferred something among the locals to reflect the oddity of Lupin's and Jigen's clothing as the people seemed to just accept things. I thought it rather strange that Jigen only had the bullets in the chamber of his revolver. I can't believe that someone like him wouldn't have a whole lot of other bullets besides. Never fear, because the writers have him make new bullets to place into the spent casings. Yeah, so where's the gunpowder is what I want to know?
Goemon, who has always had his heart back in the past as a samurai, got to become a samurai bodyguard for the female leader of the Shine clan which I thought was most appropriate. He didn't get to do a great deal though, which was a little bit disappointing to me. Zenigata coming back to the past was a complete waste though. When he wasn't in prison yelling his name and Interpol, he was a useless idiot. Instead of having him refuse to believe that they'd gone back into the past, I would have enjoyed seeing him accept that and work with Lupin to return them to the present.
There's almost no Fujiko in this special, and I hate to say it, but it wasn't a bad thing. Fujiko's ancestor Ofumi (voices by a different seiyuu) was good and in my mind how Fujiko should be -- a brilliant thief who uses cunning rather than sex to get what she wants. I suspect that may be the main reason the writers left Fujiko behind. She's become so one-dimensional most of the time. Where is the Fujiko of Castle of Cagliostro? I miss her.
As to the story, it is pretty simple and the treasure is pretty predictable as was the issue Mamo had in the story. With a quest of getting back to the present amidst a war between two clans, I was never bored, but I saw a lot of lost opportunity (such as with Goemon and Zenigata). There are a lot of things that go on which mostly keeps the pace of the story up, but there's just not a lot of depth to anything.Bottom line: Not a bad story, but not one I'll likely want to watch again. Still, considering the level of enjoyment I received from the viewing, I'll give it a "Rent."

Pete Thamel wrote a surprisingly interesting profile on a guy that I completely forgot existed. And so did everyone else apparently which is sort of the point of his story on Craig James. This is kind of a long read, but it has it all: college football, politics, religion, quotes from an actual pirate, and yes, even a reference to the aforementioned dead hookers. Our very own Buckeyes even play a prominent role in this story:
Back when Herbstreit played quarterback at Ohio State, he can remember sitting in the Buckeyes' team hotel in September 1992. As they killed the day waiting to play No. 8 Syracuse, Herbstreit watched ESPN with rapt attention.
The Buckeyes had struggled in early season wins over Louisville and Bowling Green, and Herbstreit recalls James comparing the Orange to a Corvette and the Buckeyes to a clunky truck. More than a quarter century later, he still remembers James' specific caustic comments about Ohio State.
"Craig James was as obnoxious as he could be about how Ohio State was from the Big Ten and slow and in for a rude awakening," Herbstreit said. "You talk about galvanizing. You should have seen our locker room. What was missing for two weeks was there and we blew them out."
I actually vividly remember that game but have no recollection of James at the time. I know we call Trev Alberts the original Mark May, but it seems that Craig James was the original Trev Alberts. Anyway, here's the article:
I think Mike Leach sums up the moral of the story best:
Leach said of James: "You create your own karma. It looks like he might have created his.
Here's to hoping that McMurphy is well on his way to having created a similar karma.

The approval of Herceptin (trastuzumab) in 1998 transformed the treatment of this aggressive disease, leading to increased disease-free progression and survival outcomes in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer. The subsequent development of additional HER2-targeted therapies has increased the treatment options available to patients, although Herceptin continues to dominate in the majority of treatment settings. HER2 is overexpressed in approximately 25% of breast cancers, and is associated with more aggressive tumors, poor short-term survival rates, and poor overall outcomes.
- Uptake of Perjeta and Kadcyla will offset declining Herceptin revenues over the forecast period.
- Herceptin remains the most popular therapy in all markets.
- Cases of breast cancer are expected to increase, with the highest proportion being the luminal A subtype.
- Trastuzumab biosimilars threaten sales of Roche's multi-blockbuster Herceptin.
- All pipeline candidates will face stiff competition from established drug Herceptin if approved in this indication.
- High prices of novel therapies are limiting uptake in cost-conservative markets.

Post battle service sould be removed
Mingfang47 replied to mr_glitchy_R's topic in General DiscussionsThat's why the random battle is much rewarding if you did know how to exploit & last longer in battle. Co-Op is MEH-diocre already and if we did remove the services in Co-Op then it'll become worst & play Co-Op all day with no challenge.
Maximum wait time for a Random Battle is no longer than 5 minutes

Torpedo backwards launch bug
Mingfang47 replied to Moggytwo's topic in Bug ReportsAnd I thought this is fixed already in past 2 patches. Inb4 the fix wasn't ported in next update after the confirmed fix.
How to identify ships by build in the game
Mingfang47 replied to Groblet's topic in Newcomers ZoneGo to game settings > gameplay tab > mark checked the "Alternative information" option. Or you can press & hold Left Alt button to display alternative information.
Geez can't people take a joke now?
Mingfang47 replied to detonate_me_daddy's topic in General DiscussionsI guess you did not include "Jk" in your so-called "joke", guess they took it as mockery instead.
Sister Ships- A Proposed Tech Tree Rework
Mingfang47 replied to TD1's topic in SuggestionsTechnically, that is still the same as others suggested in the past wherein the players be allowed to rename their ship to their historical names then show it off to other players in the match. And your download link is broken, put it on google drive or mediafire or whatever file hosting sites you are comfortable here. I want to actually see if it's different from what others proposed because I am seeing this will be the same Again™.
AFK problem
Mingfang47 replied to Manacetamol's topic in General DiscussionsI guess Drakon had enough detonation fever in randoms

Mingfang47 replied to Leo_1408's topic in Questions and AnswersCoz the community is smart enough to take advantage of things. *wink wink*
IF WoWs were to have 'battle royal' mode, which class suit the most?
Mingfang47 replied to PGM991's topic in General DiscussionsI actually supported this suggestion: To alleviate "sniping" in the battle. Most likely the German & French BB with the secondary build.
Stop putting clan members distributed in both teams
Mingfang47 replied to Sandipan's topic in General DiscussionsHave 1 clan member in other teams is then accused of spying & rigging a single match. I guess OP is fine having 2 x 4-man division on the same side then? << I hope this scenario wouldn't be called rigging because they are basically simply doing teamwork.
Destroyer Rant : i want to become Destoyer! WG hear me out!
Mingfang47 replied to Rwasknum's topic in General DiscussionsThe domination cap idea is 50/50 for me. Like you said, a revealed or detected target like BB will be king of the cap but not in this game where enemy team can focus fire on you lol :P
Improvement of in-battle chat system
Mingfang47 replied to Make_Scenario_Great_Anew's topic in SuggestionsIf you really really really can't wait for that change, then download this modpack from WG. Practically the same as what you have been looking for. It's under Battle & Notification UI > 1. Advanced chat V2
Jesus, i just got a first warn just as you for posting the poi meme
Despite the word already got semi censored :\
I was just using it as a meme and I wasn't attacking anyone when I posted that. So I felt confused about it and dunno how to appeal it.
Right, that meme doesn't direct to anyone, and the word got semi-censored.
The moderator should just message us about it instead of a permanent warn. That's just poor judgement.
