Do you ever hear about the notarized letter? Well, of course you know that some important agreements should be notarized. In order to notarize the agreement, here we need the letter of notarized. Yes, by this letter, of course the kinds of agreement could be collected well.
The notary wants to make sure that the signers are in the well condition in signing the document. By this matter, of course their deed could be understood. When they sign the document in below the alcohol influence, of course the notary cannot notarize the document.
The first place when you want to get the right notarized letter is the financial institution. Well, the financial institution, such as bank or credit union could be the good place to go. Here, when you are an account holder, of course you will be served well and free.
Then, how about people who do not have the account? Well, when you do not have the account, the notary will ask the small fee in order to pay the process.
When you are not able to find the notary, here you are able to find it through the online media. You could search the notary public with the city you are staying. Of course, you are probably amazed knowing that there are many notaries around your place.
However, for the additional, it will be better when you do the research selectively. Verifying the detail notary before choosing them is very important to do. You need to make sure that they have good experiences and capabilities.
In other hand, you also need to see the fee when you are using the notary. Of course, the payment will be different based on some factors. In common, the fee of notary is around $25.
Well, that is all about the notarized letter and some information about it. Do some researches in order to find its sample.

Alex Felix is a three-time CCS champion. Photo by Josh Miller.
As an undersized nose tackle and cornerback on this year’s Central Coast Section Division V championship-winning Gilroy High football team, Alex Felix could’ve been considered an underdog, as he was routinely giving up anywhere from 20 to 50 pounds to opposing offensive linemen.
Nevertheless, Felix had a huge impact in the Mustangs’ success, making plays in a variety of ways through sheer talent, heart and determination. In the wrestling arena, of course, Felix doesn’t have to contend with heavier athletes, but he probably wouldn’t mind if he did. That’s because Felix—who has signed a scholarship to wrestle at Ohio State next year—has superior technical skills, meaning opposing teams on at least a handful of occasions this season will forfeit the match in Felix’s 138-pound weight class.
Felix possesses a solid top and bottom game, and he credited Gilroy coach Greg Varela and Jason Villareal for helping him develop the strong technical skills that are evident every time he steps onto the mat. A three-time Central Coast Section champion, Felix can make a case for being one of the most accomplished wrestlers in Gilroy High’s illustrious program history if he wins a CIF State Championship this season.
He took third at state in his freshman and junior years and fourth as a sophomore.
Felix knows there hasn’t been much that separated him from the eventual state champion in the last three years. He’s banking on his previous experience to power him toward a state title in his final go-around at the high school level.
Felix’s athleticism, competitiveness and work ethic are off the charts, the reason why he was able to excel this past season playing his first and only year of high school football. Having focused on wrestling since he was 6 years old, Felix needed a much deserved break from wrestling year-round for one season.
So he tried out for the football team in the summer, and his performance along with the team’s achievements surpassed his expectations. Not only did the Mustangs enjoy a fairy-tale 13-0 season, but Felix played a vital role as a starting nose tackle and cornerback, earning all-Monterey Bay League Pacific Division First Team and Rookie of the Year honors.
Felix also had an interception from the nose tackle position, no small feat considering it came against rival Christopher.
“The coaches said they had never seen a nose tackle get an interception before in our games against Christopher,” he said.
Christopher attempted a screen pass only to see Felix foil the play by telegraphing the pass and intercepting it. Since Felix is coming off an extended football season, he’s adjusting to the rigors of wrestling.
Out of all of Felix’s accomplishments—of which there are many, both at the high school and club level—he said one of his greatest moments came at state in his freshman season. Trailing by four points with 15 seconds left in a quarterfinal match, Felix accumulated five points in rapid-fire fashion, the last points coming as time expired to give Felix a thrilling, come from behind victory.
“That is the match I’m most proud of in high school,” he said.
Felix will be a heavy favorite to four-peat as a CCS champion, the last three coming at 132 pounds. This season Felix will be competing at 138, and one of the keys to his success lies in being mentally tough, but also enjoying the journey.
Felix actually had a bit of disdain for wrestling in his first three or four years of competition.
Over time, however, Felix slowly began to develop a love for the sport. He credits his dad, Alex, for never allowing him to quit the sport.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady restructured his contract, as reported by ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
It creates cash-flow flexibility for the Patriots. On Saturday, the final three years of Brady’s contract -- $7 million in 2015, $8 million in 2016 and $9 million in 2017 -- became fully guaranteed for “skill.” When that happened, it required the Patriots to have a $24 million cash commitment on their budget, and by the end of March, the team would have had to have put that money up with the NFL because of league requirements. With Brady agreeing to change the guarantee from “skill” to only “injury,” it means the Patriots don’t have to do that. So the team gains cash-flow flexibility with this move. It does not affect the salary cap.
It helps the Patriots in other areas. They now have more ready cash. Thus, it potentially puts them in a position where they can get creative with some critical upcoming negotiations, as cornerback Darrelle Revis, safety Devin McCourty, left tackle Nate Solder (fifth-year option), running back Shane Vereen and kicker Stephen Gostkowski are some of the team’s notable players scheduled to be free agents after this season. In a situation where the Patriots could be competing against other teams for those players, the possibility of being able to commit more cash to them in the 2015 calendar year could be an advantage. To a lesser degree, but something that is also important to point out, the restructured contract allows the Patriots to release Brady without being committed to a full, $24 million guarantee. It’s hard to imagine them doing this, given that the contract has been widely viewed as a great value.
Brady gains in the exchange as well. As part of the restructure, the Patriots added $1 million to each of the base salaries in Brady’s contract, per a source. Brady will now get $8 million in 2015, $9 million in 2016 and $10 million in 2017. That is still a significant bargain for the team based on market rates. But more than that for Brady, what he hopefully gains is better players around him as the team can now spend more cash in 2015 on key players.
It's rare to see player and team working together like this. The restructuring reflects, from this viewpoint, a situation in which the team’s star player and management worked together on a deal that can be viewed as mutually beneficial. A situation like this doesn’t happen unless there are a few important factors in play, specifically a star player who isn't holding out for every last dollar, trust between key principles and an agent, Don Yee, who was at one time described by former Patriots executive Scott Pioli as one of the “most respectful and admirable people in the industry.” I see it as a situation that is especially rare in professional football, a result of both sides having an appreciation for a partnership that has been mostly beneficial for all involved in the past 15 years.

As announced at September’s Apple event this year, the new AppleTV will be coming to stores in Singapore in October. And with the end of the October already looming, it’s no wonder that people are getting excited about when they can get their hands on this new product.
Before you decide whether to buy it, here are the top 5 things you need to know about the new AppleTV.
The newest and biggest feature of the AppleTV is probably its App Store. On top of being able to stream movies and music, AppleTV’s newest App Store allows you to download games and third-party apps like Airbnb, YouTube, and even HBO Go.
Another new perk is being able to use Siri as a navigation tool. This may be an awkward tool to use for most Singaporean families, but it is a powerful one. From helping you pick a movie to watch, to looking up information on pretty much anything, Siri will definitely add a touch of futuristic ability to your television viewing experience.
The US pre-sale bookings begin today, 26 October, but the problem is no one knows exactly when. And if the US market doesn’t know when the pre-sale begins, it might mean that the rest of us will lag behind. However, it’s been confirmed that Apple intends for the AppleTV to hit the market before Christmas, so we can expect worldwide shipping to start in November.
If you’re planning to get one as a Christmas present, don’t worry. It’ll make it.
Out of the 80 countries that are getting the AppleTV, only 8 are going to get the brand new Siri Remote. This is a huge shame, especially with the built-in accelerometer that allows you to use the remote in the AppleTV’s new gameplay functions, and its swipe to navigate feature.
However, this isn’t the end of the world. You can still connect your Bluetooth controllers to the AppleTV or use your other Apple devices (like your iPhone) as game consoles. The Siri capabilities are reportedly still accessible with the old AppleTV remote that you will get instead.
But if you’re dying to get one anyway, you can tap into the 8 markets that have it, namely Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, United Kingdom, United States. A reader’s submission also shares tips on how to get your hands on a Siri Remote.
Unlike the previous AppleTV, this newest model comes in two sizes — 32GB and 64GB. However, MacRumours has shared that the AppleTV will have a 200MB shell to run its necessary assets. The 32GB model retails at US$149, while the 62GB model will go for US$199.
Anticipating the size of the games that the AppleTV will have, a 32GB storage seems like it may run out pretty soon for anyone who plans to use it as a serious gaming platform. In general, I would suggest a ‘bigger is better’ rule of thumb for any Apple device, because any device with an app store should be allowed more room to breathe — or you might get stuck having to trim down on the number of apps you have later on.
But is an additional 32GB worth the US$50 top-up? That’s entirely up to you to decide.
With the new AppleTV coming, the price of the old AppleTV has been cut to a mere $69 at every Apple store. If you really want a bargain, you’d probably be able to get it at a much lower price elsewhere or even secondhand.
While the new AppleTV definitely has some fun new features, the old design definitely has its perks. It’s smaller and more compact, and supports up to 1,080p of video content (the same as the new AppleTV), and has a Dolby 5.1 channel surround sound. New products notwithstanding, the old AppleTV is a solid piece of technology at a great price — that is, until Netflix gets here.

Deadhouse Landing, published by Penguin/Random House, marks Ian C.Esslemont's return to the world of The Malazan Empire. He and co creator, and fellow chronicler, Steven Erikson, have so far published twenty full length novels and 4 novellas set in this fascinating universe.
However, they have been more than just a recounting of a human empire. The books have explored the history, and stories, of all the beings we are introduced to in their pages. From humans to gods, summoned demons and the non-human races who lived and still live in the world - all of them make appearances and have their stories recounted.
In some ways Esslemont has been responsible for the back story of the Empire and adding detail about characters only mentioned in Erikson's books. In Deadhouse Landing, the second book in his new "Path To Ascendency" series, he's taken us back to the days before the rise of the Malazan Empire.
The two young men who will go onto become Emperor Kellanved and his deadly assassin partner Dancer, have yet to rise above the level of street criminals. Street criminals with ambitions, but still making their money through extortion and the like.
After being unceremoniously run off the mainland they have ended up on the island of Malaz. While the island is currently under the control of a pirate/criminal named Mock, Kellanved decides its the ideal place to begin again. He purchases a rundown bar called Smiley's which comes complete with staff more than willing to help him take over the island.
While Kellanved and Dancer know the staff are exiles from the island of Nap, a nation which has always competed for control of the region's seas with Malaz, they're unaware exactly whom they've just employed. Those who have read other books set in the Malazan Empire will quickly recognize the names, Surly, Urko, Cartheron Crust, Toc and the others who eventually come to be in their employ at the bar. It turns out they all have connections with the ruling family on Nap, with Surly having been deposed by her brother the current king, and the others her loyal followers.
So while they're keen to help their bosses take over Malaz, they also have their own agenda, to take back Nap. However, they're not the only ones working a private plan. Kellanved is still continuing his investigation of Shadow, the mysterious warren, or magical world, that was shattered aeons ago. Although gods and other assorted powerful entities had blocked access to Shadow upon its sundering, somehow he has found a way through their barriers.
His investigations have led him to conclude the mysterious Deadhouse, an old, seemingly abandoned house which scares the wits out of people who live on Malaz, holds the key to gaining safe access to Shadow. Of course these types of actions have begun to attract the attention of some powerful beings, among them individuals who were responsible for sealing the realm off all those years ago.
As is usual for Esslemont, Deadhouse Landing is a wonderfully written book which does a masterful job of developing both its characters and storyline simultaneously. While we've met many of the people who appear on the book's pages before, here we are shown the early stages of their development and what went into to making them who they will eventually become. What makes this a particularly impressive is how readers are left feeling they have never met these characters before, no matter how many times they've shown up in other books telling the story of the Malazan Empire.
This is another great instalment in the joint endeavours of Esslemont and Erikson. Their world building, character creation and writing abilities are second to none in the realm of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Enter into the world they've created and the only regret you'll have is having to wait for the next book to be released.

A business visa for China (M visa) is requested for entrance into China for commercial reasons. These could for example be business negotiations, meetings, trade show visits or exhibiting, training or field installation.
As a rule a business visa is issued for a visitation time period of 30 days. Stays of 60 or 90 days are also possible, provided that clear grounds are given in the business invitation why a shorter stay is not sufficient. Business stays of more than 90 (maximum 180) days are possible upon presentation of an “invitation of a duly authorized unit.” A work visa should be applied for if the business stay will be longer than 180 days duration.
The basis for application for a business visa is the submission of an invitation from your Chinese business partner. This must be issued on company letterhead and contain the address and phone number of the company. The full name of the guest has to be included. His passport number and birthdate must also be provided. The invitation must be expressed for a specific period of time (from … to …). The invitation is then signed by hand and stamped with the company’s registered chop. Then it is scanned and sent to Germany as an attachment. An example of a correct business invitation can be requested from the company China Visum Express.
The business visa application can either be filled out for a single or double entry (both entries within 90 days after issuance of the visa). A “double entry visa” especially makes sense if you are visiting a country from China that borders it, like Hong Kong or Macao, and wish to return to China from there. Both entry dates must be within 90 days of visa issuance. The departure date however can be later if applicable.
The completed application including the attachments must be presented in person at the China Visa Application Service Center (CVASC). If you wish to apply for the visa by mail, visa agencies are available to assist. The company China Visum Express, for example, can help you get a China visa within 72 hours. An application by mail directly to the CVASC is not recommended because a flat rate of 71.40 is charged and the processing time takes at least two weeks.

The cost of living is rising for seniors and people with disabilities, but Social Security benefits are not.
Social Security announced October 15 that there will be no rise in Social Security benefits in 2016, so nearly 65 million Americans who receive Social Security retirement or disability benefits will see no increase, despite the fact that their actual cost-of-living is rising.
The annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is an automatic annual increase in benefits based on the measure of inflation provided by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the CPI-W fell 0.6 percent over the past year, mostly because of the nearly 30 percent drop in gasoline prices. Since the CPI-W actually decreased, there will be no COLA increase.
There is one big problem with that: retired people and people who are not working due to disabilities do not drive as much as urban workers, so the CPI-W is not an accurate measure of the actual increase in their cost of living. A more accurate measure of inflation for Social Security beneficiaries would be the CPI-E, an index for the elderly. This inflation index gives greater weight to costs like housing and health care, which have increased. Although the CPI-E is not fully developed, under current calculations, it has increased by 0.6 percent, which would provide for an $88 increase in annual benefits for the average beneficiary. This is a desperately needed raise, especially since about 30 percent of Medicare beneficiaries are expected to see their Part B premiums increase by 52 percent next year, from $104.90 per month to $159.30 per month.
If we believe this erosion of benefits is unjust, we can demand change. Democratic candidates for President Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley have proposed Social Security plans that expand benefits and protect them from erosion by using a more accurate cost of living measurement.

Anyone who works on tight deadlines or is simply frustrated with Lightroom’s importing speed might want to consider using Photo Mechanic. As a professional, you know that getting your photos processed as efficiently as possible is essential to your business. As a photo enthusiast, you’d much rather spend time developing your photos and not spend time waiting for them to import.
In this Case Study, we look at using a 2-stage workflow, using Photo Mechanic with Lightroom Classic CC. Photo Mechanic is used to review photos, make selections and add metadata. Lightroom Classic is used for developing photos and long term, archival storage.
Photo Mechanic has been around since the dawn of digital photography but, don’t be surprised if you haven’t heard of it before. While not a niche product, it is largely used by photojournalists, sports and stock photographers. Photo Mechanic 5 is made by Camera Bits and it can be purchased for $150 from their web site–and they do offer a 30-day free trial!
Where Lightroom is a massive, fully featured cataloging platform, Photo Mechanic is a lightweight photo browser and metadata editing program. What’s more, Photo Mechanic is super fast for reviewing and tagging. There is no “import” process like Lightroom, so you can get right to reviewing your photos and adding metadata. While Photo Mechanic does have some additional features, like a built in FTP client and an ICC color matching engine, in this case study we are going to look at a basic workflow without using any of the extended features that Photo Mechanic offers.
There are a number of other valid ways to setup Photo Mechanic and Lightroom. However, this particular workflow is based on a real world client scenario. This setup was designed for a working photojournalist who operates under tight deadlines. As a Case Study, this is a great starting point to demonstrate how the two programs can work together.
Key assumptions: client is shooting 100-300 RAW only images on each assignment; making a selection of 3-8 photos for uploading to the picture editors; adding key info for specific metadata fields; only light cropping and limited tonal adjustments to balance/enhance the scene. Further, client is working on a Macbook Air with limited hard drive space and a small screen.
In this case, the simplest process is to copy the image files from the camera card directly to the Pictures folder on the laptop.
Using a “YYYY-MM-DD [shoot name]”structure for the folder name helps keep things in order for later archival purposes.
Review: Photo Mechanic is built as a file browser so it can be pointed at a target folder and images will preview immediately. Reviewing images is fast, even with large RAW files. Client makes initial selections by giving photos a 1-star rating. In this case, this works as simple, binary pick option for filtering in subsequent processes.
Metadata: 1-star photos are filtered and then, using the IPTC Editor, captions, copyright and other key metadata are quickly added to the photos. Metadata is easily copied from one photo to the next and/or saved templates can be applied.
Add to Lightroom: At this stage, since photos are already on the hard drive and stored in a properly named folder, all of the photos from the shoot can be quickly imported into Lightroom using the “ADD” button in the Import dialog. This method reads the files from their current location instead of making copies. Then Lightroom makes the necessary database entries (copyright, captions, etc.) and generates previews.
Developing: the 1-star images are filtered and then, in the Develop module, light cropping and basic tonal adjustments are made.
Exporting: the developed 1-star photos are exported as JPGs to a specific folder. All of the “edited” photos for the year are kept, for easy reference and archival purposes. File renaming is done at this point, using a Custom Name text and Sequence tokens, which are part of a saved Export Preset we created specifically to meet client requirements.
The exported JPG files are then FTP’ed to the upstream editors using FileZilla, an open source, free FTP client.
At a later time, image folders are moved off of the laptop to an external hard drive for archive and backup. This is done in Lightroom so that the main catalog always has previews of past assignments available (in this case Smart Previews were not required). The external drive is then periodically cloned to another drive, using Carbon Copy Cloner.
As noted previously, this custom workflow is designed around job requirements and constraints for a specific client. The advantages of using Photo Mechanic are to increase review speed and minimize dependencies on “black box” feature. Image review is fast and only the selected files are post processed, making for an efficient workflow.
In an upcoming post, we will include a step-by-step video demonstrating how using Photo Mechanic with Lightroom can speed up your workflow. If you have questions, comments or suggestions please post them below!

Google has found its new CFO.
Ruth Porat, who currently serves as Chief Financial Officer for Morgan Stanley, will be joining Google on May 26. She’ll replace outgoing CFO Patrick Pichette, who announced his retirement earlier this month.
“We’re tremendously fortunate to have found such a creative, experienced and operationally strong executive,” said Larry Page. “I look forward to learning from Ruth as we continue to innovate in our core–from search and ads, to Android, Chrome and YouTube–as well as invest in a thoughtful, disciplined way in our next generation of big bets. Finally, huge thanks to Patrick Pichette for his seven super successful years as CFO”.
Porat has been with Morgan Stanley since 1987, and “has played several key roles at the company, including Vice Chairman of Investment Banking, Global Head of the Financial Institutions Group and and co-Head of Technology Investment Banking.” She once placed on Forbes’ list of the top 100 Power Women, and is considered one of if not the most powerful woman on Wall Street.

The North American Collegiate Championship for League of Legends was re-branded in 2016, and re-titled University League of Legends Championship, or ULoL. To go along with the shift in branding, naming and aesthetics, the people at Riot Games wanted a new trophy as well.
The approach to this project was far different than that of the previous collegiate award. After refining designs (the final turned out to be one of our revised concepts from 2015) the illustration was 3D modeled then output by 3D printing. For the main chrome section, the 3D print served as the actual final piece. Wall thicknesses in the print were increased to give the component additional strength and the base was back filled with urethane resin to counterbalance the enormous gem.
The gem itself was molded and pressure cast in clear resin to produce the bright light scattering effect inside the chromed trophy cup. This one component required two full gallons of resin and alone weighs over 12lbs.
The finished trophy stands 24″ tall and weighs 20lbs, making for one truly solid and visually striking piece.

Garythesnail Undertale is an amazing game, and one of its amazing qualities is its cast of characters. You also have the option to spare them all somehow. These are the ones I'd have trouble NOT sparing. I'm not counting Napstablook because you can't actually kill him.
1 Papyrus Papyrus is a character from the 2015 game Undertale, made by Toby Fox. He is the Younger brother of Sans the skeleton, royal guard in training, and a sentry in the town of Snowdin. Opposite to his brother, papyrus is active, loud, and full of himself; but in an endearing way. Papyrus means to become ...read more.
I actually choked up when I first saw my friend kill Papyrus. HE'S MY FAVORITE CHARACTER!
2 Toriel Toriel is a main character in Toby Fox's 2016 RPG, Undertale. She is an amazing blend of goat and mother.
THIS is the hardest thing in the genocide run! I'm sorry goat mom!
When you kill toriel she still loves you when I killed her I cried.She wants you to be good. She uses kind words Ben when you tried to leave fighter her and she still loves you. *silence*...That's Just sad!
3 Undyne Undyne is a main character in Toby Fox's 2016 RPG, Undertale. She is the heroic fishlike captain of the Royal Guard, who takes it upon herself to protect the monsters of the Underground. Her name is derived from the word "Undine", and is a pun on the word "Undying". Her most loved monsters are her mentor, ...read more.
I just saw her Neutral fight. Her death was heartbreaking to watch as she screams that she won't die. It's a lot worse than Genocide.
4 Sans Sans or Sans the Skeleton is a character in the 2015 RPG Undertale created by Toby Fox. He is a lazy, pun-loving skeleton who is a supporting protagonist in the "pacifist" and "neutral" routes of Undertale, and a heroic antagonist/final boss of the "genocide" route. He is known for his incredibly difficult ...read more.
After killing him, he says the saddest dialogue in every timeline: "Papyrus, what are you doing here? " Or something like that. Point is, I literally cried after the whole genocide run once I killed sans. That changed my life to see his normally happy personality break, showing his depressed, angry side. I no longer am the person I was after that fight, and I never want to be. It was truly sad.
5 Mettaton Mettaton is a character in the popular 2015 RPG game, Undertale. He is a robot with a soul built by Dr. Alphys, and is the sole television star of the underground. Mettaton is a popular character in the fanbase. His notable features include his legs, and his catchphrase "OH YESSSS!"
So what do you love the most about Mettaton? For me, I'd have to ask: is "everything" an option? This guy's hilarious! AND he wants to save humanity from Asgore! Why would you WANT to kill him?
6 Asgore Asgore Dreemurr is a boss monster and the king of the monsters in the 2015 RPG Undertale made by Toby Fox. Asgore is the portrayed main antagonist who plans to acquire seven human souls and use their power to break the barrier that seals the monsters underground . Aspects of his character are hinted ...read more.
7 Temmie Temmie is minor character from the 2015 game Undertale made by Toby Fox. Made in the likeness of her artist, Temmie Chang, in appearance and character. Both a character and a species of monster, temmies are defined by their mix of cat and dog features, as well as their broken English. Their hidden village ...read more.
9 Muffet Muffet is a character from the game Undertale. She appears in a region called Hotland, selling pastries to raise money to rent a heated limo to help the spider clan from the Ruins (who are also raising a bake sale) reunite with the one in Hotland because the spiders can't cross Snowdin.
The part that really got me was when the spider put a flower at the spot where shs was killed. Very sad.
10 Lesser Dog Lesser Dog is a character from Undertale. He is part of the Snowdin Canine Unit, and is famous for his long neck.
He's just a cute little puppy wearing armour!
11 Flowey Flowey is a flower in the RPG Undertale. He is the first character you meet, and also your best friend.
12 Napstablook Napstablook is a secondary character from Toby Fox's 2016 RPG, Undertale. He is the cousin of Mettaton, who left him in order to become famous. Due to this, poor Blooky has crippling depression.
13 Alphys Alphys is an adorably dorky, lab-coat-wearing, bespectacled, yellow-skinned lizard scientist who resides in her lab in Hotland in the critically acclaimed cult classic RPG known as Undertale, wherein she partakes in the daily act of watching insane amounts of anime and having a vast majority of the ...read more.
If you kill everyone but Mettaton, she allegedly commits suicide. Then Undyne hates your guys and Papyrus doesn't know what on earth is going on.
14 Burgerpants Burgerpants is a vendor in the 2015 RPG video game Undertale, who sells various kinds of fast food working in MTT Resort, such as a hamburger dubbed "Glamburger", ice cream dubbed "Starfait", and even a steak in the shape of Mettaton's, his employer, face.
Can't kill him. I wouldn't even kill him if I had to chance.
16 Asriel Dreemurr Asriel Dreemurr is a character from the 2015 game "Undertale". He was created by Toby Fox. ...read more.
Just... Sad. She could be your singing buddy, but noo!

I bought LTE SIM Kit - 3-in-1 - Voice / Data Bundle. Activated this on my phone. Then I bought from you LG Tribute 2 LS665 Blue. Now I'm trying to use your card on your phone (activated by me according to the instructions) but I'm being written by Invalid card! When I try to dial, I need to buy a number.
Most of the phones they sell (and all the cheap ones) are for the Sprint network and would not use that SIM.
from FreedomPop, it should have come ready to use on the Sprint CDMA network.
The phone should have had a CDMA SIM already in it and that should be left in it. The SIM you bought would be to insert in a GSM phone that would use the ATT network. I think you now have two plans with FreedomPop.

time in . . .
This is the 200th post on a blog that first appeared on February 11, 2011. It’s truly amazing to me that since then, there have been 11,070 views from 75 countries. Even more touching to me has been the gradual evolution of a group of readers who regularly visit the blog and who stay in touch with me about its contents.
In preparing to codify what I am thinking of calling “volume one” of “Mulberryshoots,” I reviewed about seventy-five of my most recent posts and am struck by the recurring themes of life and death, especially for those who are taken before their time and those who remain here to remember and to share wisdom about what we have learned the hard way. There’s lots of flowers, plants that were lost and those that took their place. Even more about food, cooking and its relationship to our feeling of being taken care of and of taking care of others.
I hope that the blog will be pertinent, entertaining and perhaps even useful to some readers. Today, I’m going to take advantage of a publishing discount and have volume one created in hard copy as a remembrance for my daughters and granddaughters. At least someday, they will have a chance to know me not just as a mother and a grandmother, but as the person whose voice can be heard in these essays.

Runner Anthony got faster, stronger and leaner than he ever thought possible switching from cardio to weight training.
His fitness levels were high after competing in a half Ironman, but his body fat was not where he wanted it to be.
Anthony wanted a new challenge to see what his body could do lifting weights, so he started a transformation program at a Ultimate Performance Hong Kong.
Switching from a diet heavy in carbs, to a high-protein diet and lifting weights three times a week not only transformed his body, but also helped him clock new personal best times in his running.
Anthony, who is predominantly vegetarian, lost 2kg and almost a third of his body fat to get in the her physical shape of his life.
“The results after the 12-week transformation really surprised me. When I saw what I was like before I started compared to at the finish, I couldn’t believe it – I was not expecting to see such a fundamental change.
Anthony explains how the change in diet alongside the structured weight training regime had such a powerful impact on his body composition and his fitness.
I’ve always been pretty active and enjoy pushing myself physically, but this has usually been in terms of cardio. I wanted to see what I could achieve by pushing myself in the gym environment under the guidance of a personal trainer.
I was reasonably fit before I started at U.P. through circuit training and running. I had recently competed in a half Ironman, so coming off the back of that race I was feeling pretty good.
However, my body fat levels were definitely not where I wanted them to be.
I’ve been a vegetarian for a number of years and have always tried to eat relatively healthy foods. However, my diet prior to training was pretty high in carbs because of my cardio-based training.
My diet changed pretty fundamentally. For the course of the program, I upped my protein intake and cut out carbs almost completely.
This meant eating a lot of fish, which I don’t usually do. At first I did struggle with the lack of carbs and was feeling hungry a lot of the time, but as the weeks progressed, my body adjusted and really started to thrive.
As the diet progressed and I got over the initial shock of such a change, I did find that my energy levels were improving.
Something that surprised me is that I clocked a couple of personal bests while running, which the diet must have had a big impact on.
What I learned during the transformation is that with the right mindset and determination, you really can achieve life-changing results in what is a pretty short space of time.
I think that without the very professional guidance of my trainer, Dhaval, who continuously tweaked my program by adjusting the areas that needed to be concentrated on, and pushed me through my limits and kept me driven to achieve my goals, this transformation would not have been possible.
I’m definitely going to build on this experience and use it as a motivator to realise my future training goals.
I would absolutely recommend U.P. The results simply speak for themselves.
Anthony thought he was in shape, but a few short months of small changes proved that he could achieve so much more. Complete the enquiry form below to arrange your free consultation and start your own body transformation.

Decouflé’s Nano cigarette maker is the core element in a steadily growing group of products. The company is now developing faster Nano-based makers and new applications, expanding its portfolio with a view to maximizing customer satisfaction.
Ever since Decouflé sold its very first machine 150 years ago, the French company has continued to build a wide reputation as a manufacturer of specialized niche products. Nano first appeared on the market in 2009. Decouflé’s new filter cigarette maker was readily accepted by the market, chalking up high sales figures from the outset. Since then, these have continued to rise, bringing the line far beyond the niche product category. Nano makers, which are designed to run at speeds ranging from 5,000-7,200 cigarettes per minute (cpm), are so dependable that Decouflé decided to use them as a basis for developing a wider range in response to customers’ requirements.
Nano-8, for instance, was designed to operate at speeds up to 8,200 cpm, creating a perfect match for a 400 pack per minute (ppm) packer. This cost-effective machine is ideal not only for manufacturing smaller batches but also for running in a 3-shift schedule.
Apart from combining all the elements of a high-speed maker, it also features its predecessor’s compatibility with all Hauni and Decouflé units including laser and logistics items. Yet there is an even faster model already in the pipeline: Nano-10, the latest member of the Nano series, is scheduled to make its debut on the market soon and will be capable of speeds up to 10,000 cpm.
Speed, however, is not the only factor driving the growth of the Nano family. The Nano-C for example is a special maker for cigar production. New applications currently under development include Nano-T for filter tube production and Nano-P for plain cigarettes. These units will join the Nano family, complementing the Decouflé portfolio.
Nano series machines all feature the tried-and-trusted technology which can be depended on to produce top quality, whatever the format or product – from king and queen size, slims and super-slims to plain cigarettes, kreteks, cigars and filter tubes.

It seems like selecting a gift should be a pretty simple task, but it can actually be fairly complicated as psychological factors often come into play when trying to find just the right present. Finding the right gift for a senior citizen can be even more challenging, as those in their 60s, 70s and beyond have typically scaled back the size of their living spaces as well as the amount of their personal belongings. Additionally, many seniors have moved into group homes or assisted living facilities that have limited space for personal belongings. All of this can make the process of giving a gift to the elderly somewhat tricky.
When selecting the best gift for a senior citizen parent, grandfather or grandmother, it is important to consider how the gift will impact and improve their quality of life. With this in mind it is important to focus on how the gift will add comfort and value to their life, instead of just being novel. However, none of this means the gifts have to be boring. If you are having a difficult time coming up with practical, but fun, idea of what to get the elder on your list, we will suggest you the best gifts for senior citizens that you can get in 2018. These gifts ideas for senior citizens will be suitable in any occasions be it their birthday, any major holidays like Christmas or Thanksgiving.
An iPad is an all-in-one device that is in many ways made-to-order for seniors, having an easy to navigate touch screen and large font options. Staying connected with family and friends is important for seniors, and social media sites can help a senior expand their network and also keep abreast of current events. Additionally, an iPad is great for entertainment as well as managing their medications and playing games to keep their cognitive skills sharp. There are also many apps available for iPads that are ideal for seniors, such as WebMD for iPad, AARP Magazine, Skype and games.
AARP Magazine has the single largest circulation in the world and there is a free app making the magazine available on the iPad.

Clothing- seniors love new clothes!
While giving clothing as a gift may sound like a boring option, consider that many seniors will go years without buying themselves a new outfit. Especially with today’s economy and living on a fixed income, many retired people must cut back on spending and the wardrobe is usually the first area they forgo spending money on. There are many options for clothing as a gift for seniors, but one of the most well received are articles that will keep them warm, such as sweaters.
As people age it is becomes increasingly more important for them to stay active. Exercise is crucial for seniors, as it not just keeps them active and vital, buy staying fit also helps prevent, or at least slows down, almost all medical conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, arthritis and many other common ailments that typically develop with age. There are many pieces of light exercise equipment that are ideal gifts for senior citizens, just remember the focus is on “light” exercise, and not overly strenuous activities that can cause the exact problems in seniors that you are trying to prevent. Gift examples include walking poles, a set of light hand weights, hand exercise balls, resistance bands, exercise mats and pedometers. One large piece of exercise equipment tailored made for seniors is a recumbent exercise bicycle, which is designed to be pedaled while sitting down.
Getting a good night’s sleep is just as important for seniors as it is for younger people and perhaps one of the most economical, and easiest, ways to give new life to your favorite senior’s bedroom is a new warm and cozy comforter. Comforters are great gifts as most seniors are prone to getting cold. Comforters come in various styles and designs, in sets with matching pillowcases and sheets, or alone and you can give a new comforter for every season. One of the best gifts for senior is a light and fluffy down comforter or heated model with temperature control.
These are some of the unique gifts that will make older people feel loved and cared. For any special occasions like birthdays, thanksgiving, christmas and anniversaries, these are some of the best choices to gift seniors.
Do not forget to share this page on Facebook because chances are some of your friends might be looking for gift ideas for same senior as you are!

Federal Minister for Water & Power, Khawaja Muhammad Asif has urged to develop a concrete road map for a secure energy vision for the future, adding that the vision must broadly aim at developing indigenous scientific and industrial capacities for exploring domestic energy reserves. He was addressing as Chief Guest at the National Energy Conference on Prospects of Power Generation, organized by South Asian Strategic Institute (SASSI) University, here in Islamabad on Tuesday.
He acknowledged that the geographical position of Pakistan not only makes it a potential energy exporter but also a trade and energy corridor for South and Central Asia and due to this advantage, Pakistan can maneuver itself in a way that significantly increases its bargaining power in the region and beyond.
On the occasion, renowned defence analyst and Chairperson of South Asian Strategic Institute (SASSI) University, Dr. Maria Sultan, during her welcome address, said that economic growth and industrialization in a globalized world today is inextricably linked to the continuous availability, access, diversity and modernization of energy resources.
“Pakistan is subjected to international diplomatic and political pressure, by the select few, over its efforts of diversification of its energy imports,” she said, while quoting the Iran – Pakistan Gas Pipeline issue. She was of the view that international sanctions on Iran and subsequent diplomatic pressure on Pakistan to be a process of Iranian containment have exacerbated the energy crisis in Pakistan and increased the uncertainty of the economic future.
“Second example is the transfer of civil nuclear technology to India, by the powerful few, circumventing the established international norms of nuclear non-proliferation,” Dr. Maria said, while regretting that the same access is not allowed to Pakistan in the global nuclear energy market which leaves Pakistan with very few options to turn around the energy crisis.
The demographic factor is strength for Pakistan which can significantly be used for tapping and optimizing the energy resources under an alternate economic thought, she concluded.
Mohammad Anwar Habib, Chairman of Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (PNRA), Dr. Ansar Parvez, Advisor on Nuclear Power National Command Authority and other Energy Experts also attended the conference to exchange their views.

Probably fair to say one of Benidorm’s most well known places, Andy’s Bar Benidorm. Located on the strip and right in the heart of things Andy’s Bar is simply the best. Most of us have probably at one point or another sat on the awesome sun terrace, caught the sun and enjoyed a few drinks watching the world go by. Andy’s bar is great for everyone, couples, solo travellers, groups and those with families. Although does get very busy the staff do their best to get you all seated together.
Andy’s Bar Benidorm you could say was one of the original bar’s in Benidorm. It has been around forever and stayed in the same hands. Although called Andy’s Bar, the owners real name was Andres, a popular man in Benidorm, well loved and respected. He worked hard and built up what is one of Bendiorm’s most popular bars giving holidaymakers memories and fun, he is missed, he would be proud to see his bar still going strong, sadly he passed a few years ago but his name still lives on!
Drink prices at Andy’s Bar Benidorm are about average for the area, with waiter service and very efficient always keeping you topped up. Although the terrace is the main hub there is seating inside. Andy’s bar is a great place to pop in for one, spend an afternoon or start a night out before hitting the town. Great bar, great location, great history!

We have a wealth of experience acting for clients in business sales and purchases, from businesses worth thousands of pounds to many millions. Regardless of the value, we realise how important the investment or sale is to you. It is your future and your business. We recommend that you get in touch with us and speak to your accountant as early as possible in order to address some key considerations, such as whether the acquisition or disposal is one of shares or assets in the company.
The choice between the acquisition or disposal being of shares or assets depends on a number of factors, which may include the tax implications or consequences or quite simply your preferred speed of the transaction which we appreciate on occasions can be the most important thing to you.
We will help you and your professional team to dispose of the business as quickly and efficiently as possible; maximising the value of your business.
Your business is full of confidential and sensitive information. If we or you feel it is necessary we will ensure your purchaser enters into a binding confidentiality agreement before any sensitive business information is divulged; which means that you and your business are protected if the sale doesn’t proceed.
Selling a business is a complex transaction and difficult issues can arise. Our experienced and qualified solicitors are on hand to steer you through any unforeseen issues, so as to ensure that your commercial interests are protected in the best way possible throughout the process.
We will help you to answer the many questions that your purchaser may ask and ensure that your liability following the sale is kept to a minimum; so you will get to keep the sale proceeds!
We will help guide you through the transaction and to find out as much as possible about the business you are purchasing, a process referred to as “due diligence” by lawyers. This means you will know what you are buying, good or bad.
You need to know that you are protected in the event that, following the purchase, things are not quite as your seller said they would be. We will work with you to agree suitable warranties with your seller, so that you can invest with confidence and know that, if things go wrong, the sale agreement will protect you.
We will also help you with the funding arrangements for the acquisition, to ensure that the transaction can be completed on time and without unnecessary costs being incurred.
There are an enormous number of reasons why you might be seeking to buy or sell a business and we get to the commercial heart of what you are doing. Working closely with you and/or your other professional advisers enables us to deliver the best outcome to suit those commercial needs. We realise that these events do not happen within the boundaries of traditional working hours. Our team of specialist and experienced solicitors are on hand to help deal with those unforeseen queries that crop up outside those hours and which have the potential to delay the process, potentially increasing costs.
The result of all of the above is the outcome that you need, in the timescale you need it and to an agreed budget. Those are the things that our clients value so much.

A change in the weave structures of the Field of Flowers produced this result, with a blue/white mixture for the background, and single colors for the flowers. The leaves remain the same.
For a while now I've wanted to do a lampas jacquard fabric with no narrative content, just an overall pattern. The feeling of a calico, or an old-fashioned floral wallpaper design. Perhaps for a book cover.
I started with a loose brush drawing of a single blossom, arranged in a geometric repeat. Here's the initial result.
With this all black warp, the primary fabric is basket weave in black cotton, and there are two secondary wefts: blue silk noil and natural wool/silk. The flower centers are both secondary wefts used together for an intermediate blue shade.
The flower centers don't show up all that well. I'm thinking of changing the color order so that the background is the blue-natural blend and the flower centers are solid blue. We'll see.
It's funny how themes sometimes pair up by accident (or not by accident). Like this one. There's a camellia bush outside my studio door with red and white blossoms on it. When they fall, as they are doing this morning, there is a melange of red, pink, white, gold, brown, all together on the bench. A delicious image of decay.
And the story unfolding on my loom is about birth. It's a transcription of a graffiti I saw on a bathroom wall a few months ago in a restaurant in North Carolina (I don't make these things up).
Our redbud trees are blossoming. There is nothing like a branch of redbud against a clear blue sky on a spring morning. Nothing.
The almost-white filament silk in the warp is highly reflective, and the direction of the light is very low-angle. Fun and games.
Outdoors, spring has suddenly exploded. It's actually too warm to walk at midday. Soon I will have to get up at 6 am to walk. But not quite yet.
March is a pretty festive month around here. Three birthdays in the family. We like to celebrate them all at once. The youngest celebrant prefers ziti bolognese, so that's what he gets.

The controversy over siting a high-level radioactive waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, has engaged the southern Nevada community in recent years. This high-profile project has brought a critical eye on other environmental management activities, especially in the neighboring Nevada Test Site. Although radioactive waste management activities have been ongoing at the Nevada Test Site for over 40 years, there is renewed scrutiny on these activities and there is a growing community interest in pursuing alternative waste management strategies. This paper reviews the active role that the University of Nevada, Las Vegas has played in promoting public awareness, understanding, and participation.
