Posted Jul 20 2011 6:24AM
In the end, it was the very thing that got him to the NBA -- that impossibly long frame stretched across seven-and-a-half feet of length and strength -- that failed him first.
The injuries started in his feet in 2006 and worked their way upward. To his knees. To his back. And after playing 244 games in his first three NBA seasons, Yao Ming played only 242 over the next five, until finally, his body forced him out of the game for good.
But when Yao announced his retirement from the NBA on Wednesday, it's important to remember that his legacy outgrew that 7-foot-6 frame long ago.
When he stepped to the podium in Shanghai, he closed the door on a career that spanned a decade and drew millions -- maybe billions -- worldwide to the game of basketball. At only 30 years old, he could have had a longer run had injuries not cut him down.
But he could have hardly meant more to the game.
And as we celebrate a career unlike any other, NBA.com caught up with people from every facet of Yao's NBA career, from teammates to opponents to worldwide ambassadors to reflect on the impact The Great Wall has had on the world of basketball.
Bill Walton, NBA legend: "Yao Ming has changed our world for the better. Yao Ming has given us a new and fresh perspective on how we view things. He has expanded the limits of our possibilities across the spectrum of life. He combines the best aspects of the human spirit, business and athletic participation in what truly matters most---health, family, home, hope and the dream for a better tomorrow."
Walton: "Against all odds, Yao Ming became a truly special and unique player who, without the benefit of great coaching, without the opportunity to play in an environment that would allow him to blossom, Yao Ming was able to build a game and a life for himself based on superb human values and personal characteristics that make us all very proud and more than a bit jealous."
Clyde Drexler, Basketball Hall of Famer: "Whenever he was on the floor, he gave the Rockets the best hope and opportunity to be the best team in the league. When you have a guy who is 7-6 and who can score in the low post like he could and can shoot the open jumpers, you always had a chance."
Shaquille O'Neal, NBA legend (to NBA TV): "One time he had me on the post, and he turned around to shoot a fadeaway, and I jumped as high as I could and he still had about three feet left. I was like 'dang this dude is tall.' And the first time I played against him I was like, 'OK, you know what, he's a big guy. You gotta take it to his head, and I went with a little oopsie-doop finger-roll, and he blocked my first three shots."
Bob Lanier, Basketball Hall of Famer and NBA Cares Ambassador: "I met him in the Green Room [at an NBA Cares event] and we got to know each other. I told him I'm Big Bob and while I'm standing next to him, I'm feeling rather small and I'm 6-11."
O'Neal: "He was very agile. He could play inside, he could play outside, and if he didn't have those injuries he could've been up there in the top five centers to ever play the game."
Drexler: "His presence will be missed. He had a wonderful career. He's a hard worker and just a great, great basketball player. He played a big part in the NBA's Asian popularity."
Walton: "His post-playing career will be far more successful and much more impactful than anything he's done to date -- by an incalculable margin."
Dikembe Mutombo: "I think Hakeem Olajuwon, the late Manute Bol and myself, coming out of Africa; and Vlade Divac, Hedo Turkoglu and the great players who came out of Europe -- Drazen Petrovic, too -- all people who came from international countries, I don't think any one of us was able to contribute to the level that Yao Ming did. We're talking about a guy who came from a country that has 1.2 billion people. I came from a country that's only got 65 million, and this guy comes from a country that has 1.2 billion. Can you imagine how many people are following him?"
Lanier: "He brought the game to new heights. It grew bigger than his size because of his journey from China to the U.S. He became a great ambassador to the zillions of people in China and the way he has carried himself as an Ambassador for his country and for the NBA, it's been absolutely incredible when you think about it. I think his game has prospered. People just love him -- fans of all ages and all genders."
Walton: "He has meant so much in every aspect of the business of sport and the culture of aspirational brilliance to what is possible and more importantly, what is next."
Mutombo: "I don't think our game would have grown as fast as it did if we didn't see the rise of the young Yao Ming in the NBA. We are going to miss him. His legacy will be great because he has opened a lot of doors to the NBA and allowed the young Asian players to believe in themselves that they can succeed in the NBA."
Drexler: "Yao's presence solidified Houston as an international city. Houston has always been welcoming to all people from all over the world and it kind of gives a feel of a New York or San Francisco where it's an international city and Yao had a lot to do with that.
From an economic standpoint, Yao brought in more Asians to the state of Texas and the city of Houston probably more than any person in the history of the NBA -- and that would be an understatement."
Mutombo: "We love his contribution, not just by him bringing China to us, but in bringing all the countries around China to us. With that, he made us better understand Chinese culture and people as well."
Drexler: "As a result of Yao's presence on the Rockets, fans learned more about China and Asian history and probably even made some trips to China."
Lanier: "The NBA is super-popular in China and a large part is that the doors were open for international competition and because Yao was such a great ambassador at the right time."
Mutombo: "I don't think there's any other place in the world where basketball is as popular as it is in China."
Lanier: "I've worked with Yao in the community on two separate occasions. Once in Houston for a reading event and the other time at his grammar school in China.
When we worked together in Houston, he basically had just arrived in the U.S. and we were doing this reading event at a school and I was asking people how well he can speak English and will he be able to participate.
Someone at the event told me that Yao doesn't really want to say anything, that he wants to only turn the pages."
Mutombo: "I've been shocked and even a little surprised in the way Yao has opened up himself. Maybe we just didn't know him well."
Lanier: "I quickly found out that he understood English enough where he could translate. So, I asked him before the event, 'Big Fella, the kids didn't come here to hear me, they came here to listen to you. If you're comfortable, I can start the reading then you can take over and read to them. When you feel uncomfortable, you can nudge me and I'll take over.'
So that's how we went into the event. We entered the room where the kids were and Yao was phenomenal. He read to the kids, he was engaging, he answered their questions. He was beaming and the kids were beaming.
That was my first experience working with Yao and I immediately thought, 'He gets it. He knows how to connect with people.'"
Mutombo: "We're now close friends. As much as I've spent him with him in the past, almost eight years now -- I've known him since I came to Houston in 2004 -- every year I'm learning something new about him and his personality."
Walton: "From his early days on the grand stage at the Sydney Olympics to this new transitional period, Yao Ming has always conducted himself with remarkable class, dignity, professionalism and thoughtful kindness. We all have so much to learn from his graceful presence, compassionate soul and visionary leadership."
Mutombo: "He's [also] a really funny guy. He's someone who has a great sense of humor. You admire his friendship, the more that he knows you, because it gives him a chance to open up about his life. He's a very respectful human being, not just to himself, but to the people who are close to him.
My family and his family have grown so close. I have taken him in as my youngest brother, or as he says, 'I am not your brother. You are my uncle. I'm your nephew because you're the same age as my father.'
I love that. That tells you something about Yao Ming. He's full of personality. Every time I see him I have tears in my eyes because I have to laugh so much. I spent a week in Greece with him laughing 24 hours a day. My wife asked me why I laugh so much with Yao Ming, and I said you just have no idea. I love that young man."
Lanier: "Yao's a difference maker and that comes from inside. He was rooted the right way."
Mutombo: "He wants to embrace the causes affecting people around the world, many of them in China itself. He wants to go into Africa to work on different issues that are facing young people today. [He's concerned with] young people's education in China and different parts of Asia, in Special Olympics around the world. To see Yao in the international space, I gave him even more respect than I did before."
Drexler: "He is a great ambassador for his country and he's also one of the nicest human beings I've been around. We're going to miss the Great Wall."
Mutombo: "I'm glad our friendship wasn't just on the basketball court. We were able to learn about each other and find we have the same common ground, and talk about the different issues in the world today.
I don't know if a lot has to do with the fact that we came into the NBA from different countries outside of America, so we have a different view of the world than some of our friends do."
Mutombo: "This young man, even though he's leaving the game of basketball, he's not leaving behind those who admire him and love him so much and gave him all the support."
Walton: "[He is] truly an iconic figure and personality for the ages, our world is a better place because of Yao Ming; and he's just getting started."
Lanier: "People admire the way Yao has carried himself around his parents and others -- always very respectful. Those kinds of really positive images help set the tone for people to raise him to another level and want to emulate him and want their kids to be like that."
Mutombo: "We should be thankful that we were lucky enough to have a young man like Yao Ming in our lives."
Walton: "Thank you, Yao Ming. Good luck, health, family, fortune and future. And hopefully one day we can begin to repay you for all the joy, happiness, pride and satisfaction that you have brought to each and every one of us."

John Slate is No Slacker
There's a piece in (or is thaton
?) Salon today about the 15th anniversary ofthe most overrated indie movie
of the 1990s, Richard Linklater'sSlacker
. Now, it's been years since I've seen it, and maybe I'll soften toward it if you feel like giving me your copy of theCriterion Collection
DVD when yer done with it; and it does star some friends of mine; and maybe I just hated it since they were shooting it around Austin as I was wrapping up my final semester at the University of Texas and trying to get the hell out of that city. Or maybe I've got something against self-indulgent, willfully quirkly, naval-gazingly chitchatty movies about nothing. Dunno. Whatever. Doesn't matter. All of this is just a rambling prelude to this nugget you might be interested in: John Slate, the Kennedy-assassination conspiracy-a-go-go guy in the movie loitering around Half-Price Books, lives in Dallas. And not only that, but Slate, who appeared inonly the one movie
, works for the city of Dallas as our very own archivist--which means, yes, he handles JFK documents all the time and gets paid for it. Says Slate in Salon (notSlate
, oddly): "When people approach me about JFK, it gets tiresome. But rather than be annoyed, it's easier to be flattered. I now work with real JFK materials on a day-to-day basis. I'm the archivist for the city of Dallas, so I'm in charge of all the Dallas police department records on Kennedy. I've got to have a little professional distance. I'm interested in the materials, but as far as being a junior detective, I'll leave that to the professionals."--Robert Wilonsky

hedz - haven't spoken to Nick in years.Is PAL your only miner? Why go with PAL as your only miner. I would recommend GG (Goldcorp) as the premier miner if you had to pick only 1. Profitable and pays a monthly dividend.PAL looks to be break even at these metal prices. If and when Palladium goes up, it will go up but GG wil far outperform.
PAL is my only miner. GG is getting hammered! It might be one to pick up at the bottom of this pullback. Dividends are minute. Because of Palladium's potentials PAL is just a better story.

Went to change a flat tire on my wife's 99 Grand Caravan yesterday, only to find that the spare wouldn't lower more than 6". the cable itself came out of the spindle (3 feet of it...), but I couldn't get the spare to drop. I tried spinning the spare and the spindle, but nothing I did could get it to drop. Any hints or tricks to this? thanks...
Yeah thats a bitch, same ting happened on my 2000 GC. It took a while to figure out, dealer will tell you that it has to be cut down. What happens is there is a safety lock mechanism on the winch. It locks the wheel up so that if the cable rusts and breaks the tire won't fall out from underneath. It is held up by a plastic rod which looks like large bolt. Go to the dealer and have the parts guy show you ALL the views of the winch assembly, you can get the spare down by spending a few hours underneath, prying and twisting at the lock mechanism. Then clean up the road dirt and lube the heck out of the cable and mechanism, preferably with a dry lube so it does not attract dirt easily. I wish I could explain it better, but I did this last winter and can't explain the exact procedure I used and its not in any manual or Caravan book I saw. I was not willing to pay the 150$ the dealer wanted for the part.
P.S. Did you follow the procedure in the owners manual to drop the tire or did you just start cranking. If you don't do it right you will never get the tire down after cleaning up the lock mechanism anyhow. It is very specific on how to do it and after cleaning mine worked fine.
Seeing this discussion made me wonder about my wife's 2000 GC so last night I got the owners manual out and it says nothing about a latch, just the nut to lower the cable. Obviously I've never had to access the spare but I guess on the next warm day I better give it a try to find out what the real story is.
John Keith firstname.lastname@example.com
Had the same thing on my 99 T&C. Jack the rear of the vehicle up. Wind the spare "up". Now put your jack under the spare to support it's weight. Than "unwind it" now look up through the spare to the winch assy. You'll see a a latch. at the back (toward rear of car). reach in with a long screw driver and release it (move it towards rear of car). If you've uunwound the winch prior to this point you should be able to move the plastic holder downwards. Once you've done this you can now allow the tire to come down. Once the tire is down and off the cable remove the jack assy. 5 or 6 bolts. Odds are you'll see a piece of "wire" hanging or may have fallen out. You'll also seea spring clip (again either laying on ground or look at the assy. itself. It clips on the underside so when you unwind the unit it should pull the aforementioned latch to release the tire. If you fiddle enough you should be able to get it back into place. It is definitely rube goldberg. You could just attacha wire to the latch and keep it over the tire so you can release it manually or live dangerously and disable it all together. Or buy a new winch. Larry
Another good reason to drive sedans over vans/SUVs...just lift the (clean) spare out of the trunk well.
I do have a 1997 Caravan and hadn't noticed this partucular problem when I've needed to change a flat. Just generally cumbersome and a VERY dirty job since the spare tire is under the vehicle collecting all that road grime!

Secretary of the Asotin County Fair Board Arlene Mullins said they're looking to move the rodeo to the second week of April. In years past, the rodeo and fair both take place on the last weekend of April. But Mullins said the board believes by separating the two events, parking may be more manageable, and participants involved in the fair can attend all events.
The board is in discussion with the Asotin County Commissioners to finalize the changes. Members of the fair board declined on-camera comments until the changes are confirmed.

So far I must say I am unimpressed with the stock price performance. It started off with a nice jump but the fact that Embraer is outperforming BBD at this very moment with NO NEWS surrounding it whatsoever is completely ridiculous.
As soon as the shares stopped climbing, the idiots waited 5 minutes and started dumping or shorting, whatever they felt like doing today to manipulate.
This is the hugest order they have received and for the stock to barely hiccup, especially compared to other stocks today with no news, it is pure garbage. Has nothing to do with the company or owners or C Series, this is pure manipulation of a stock.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
FIRM deal for those in doubt for 40 CS300 and option for an additional 10 with Macquarie. This is HUGE news and came out of nowhere considering that test flights just resumed after a long delay due to an engine problem. If this doesn't make the stock price rock a bit, not sure what will?!
Will be interesting to see how it reacts today and the upcoming weeks. Also, let's see if any other customer follow
I hope you are right...but with them, just when you think that, something else goes wrong. Engine problems, existing clients backing out, bad quarterly reports....and by that I mean their numbers are profitable but don't quite matchup with what professional analysts have come up with as a guess for their numbers.
They predict a bunch of numbers and the stock price suffers cause they were off a bit...nothing to do with the stock or company itself, they just guessed it wrong. Then, they come out and warn of another probable delay in the C-Series entry into service....of course, idiots react to this new prophecy considering they did such a good job on the earnings front, they must be right about this then!! Morons.....
Sentiment: Strong Buy
They just can't seem to turn the corner over the last few months. Ever since the first delay announcement, it has been complete and utter disappointment after dissapointment. Even their long awaited first flight ended up in a loss for shareholders by the end of the day....how can that even make sense?!
I don't even know what they can do anymore. Even if they get the test planes back in the air, people are looking for the littlest detail to pick on and keep driving this down into the ground. Earnings were in line and even better than expected and we got a brief relief from the stock price heading under $3.60......how long before it gets back there? An hour? Two hours?
It's ridiculous...
Correction, it was Cannacord
Either way, the street reaction was a 1.58% drop in share price after this. Which is funny cause had it been a downgrade, it would have dropped 5.58% so either way, any analyst rating review....even positive...makes this go down.
So much for the momentum it had....
Price target increase from $4.25 to $5.00 with a "Buy" rating. This might be the beginning of some good news for a change regarding this stock. Maybe it has finally hit rock bottom and only way to go right now is up. Of course, this will only be solidified with a return of the C Series test planes to the air and no more annoying delays like we are currently experiencing....
At this point I wish it was even at $3.70. It has not gone up 1 single penny in 9 of the last 10 trading days. And that coming off a successful airshow considering nothing was expected. It is just massively being shorted and every time they open their mouths, something bad comes out of it. Can't wait until Thursday's earnings call where they explain the next set of disappointing news and let's be honest....we all know it's coming.
The street had confidence in BBD? What day was this?
No matter what it does (positive, negative, nothing), it doesn't get any respect at all. Of course, I am talking about the stock manipulators. The every day average Joe that buys into this doesn't make it drop from today's high of $3.89 to now $3.80 and dropping on a day where is announced multiple deals for 50 CSeries planes.
Embraer is not manipulated so when good news comes out, it goes up and stays up. BBD started the day well but once it hit resistance.....the shorting and dumping began. Up 3 cents but down 9 cents from the day's high.....so clear what is happening here.
Sorry but this is not news whatsoever and we have known about the 300+ hours for days now. I'm sure with 5-7 test planes flying, they can obtain the remaining 2000 hours of flight tests in the next 365 days.
The testing will resume in a week or two as the problem was not major and can be fixed quickly.
Of course, up all day and 1 POS selloff with 1 second left in the trading day to wipe away all gains......how typical
Well, they really don't have to come up with any new articles or bad press for this stock....they are doing an awesome job of bringing the stock price down by simply recycling old articles so I'm sure if they re-published the story about the CSeries being delayed until the second half of 2015, it should go down 2-3% more today....it's really that easy.
The Farnborough air show is coming up shortly and a nice press release by BBD stating that they will NOT be showcasing the CSeries plane should make shareholders very happy. Sales are slumping....to say the least.....and not exposing it and marketing it at the biggest air show will probably be their next strategic move to #$%$ everyone off.
Useless.....this POS stock is headed lower and lower and lower and lower...there is no stopping it. No new orders, rumours about existing orders, rumours about more delays to the CSeries....there is absolutely nothing turning there way and this, since forever
This week was just full of articles about firm deals that are RUMORED to maybe one day eventually in the future possibly being cancelled....perhaps.
These articles, based on speculation and rumors, generated REAL reactions by the trigger happy, brain dead or manipulating investors to make this stock crash further and further.
I haven't seen anyone one of these agencies pick up the story about FTV4 first flight but then again, this is positive news and might make people think this might be a good pick up.....who wants to read about that?!
Not sure why there is so much hate for this company or stock to be honest? Is it in our destructive nature? Do we want to see the 2 giants destroy everyone in their path? Is it the company logo? Their colours? Why is there so much hate towards a company trying to establish themselves by introducing a new plane?
Down $0.04 at the end of the day when it should have finished not far from $4. Complete BS once again driven by trigger happy idiots who re-read the same article published 7 days ago and freak out the same way twice! Hopefully another news agency doesn't report the same comments next week so that the stock plummets again on old NON NEWS.
POS investors.....
Nothing happened....mofos started dropping shares because of an article republished about Republic possibly cancelling their order in 2 years time....an article that came out May 15th that probably got lost and recycled today.
Of course the firm survives this....they actually had nothing to do with what happened to the stock price yesterday....for a change.
When they talked about the possibility of buying the CSeries to replace their Embraer planes, stock did nothing. When they announced they changed their minds, the stock plummets. It's so annoying to sit here waiting for 1 good piece of news when we are constantly bombarded with negative #$%$ relating to this company.
And don't get me wrong, they had a hand it this being under the $4 range more than anyone else with their 3 delays of CSeries entry into service so as much as AC sucks alot, BBD needs to start doing something to stop #$%$ off its shareholders for a change.
Mark my words, with this deal in the dumps and Republic basically saying they are going to postpone the cancellation of their order until a later day, they had better bring one of those test planes to the Farnborough air show and show off this freakin plane to anyone and everyone attending.
Can go to hell
People responsible for the losses today are also full of #$%$.
Sell it the day before and buy it back the next day (earnings day) after it crashes 5-15%. Seems to be the pattern over the last few earnings reports.
If the shorts were gettting out, wouldn't that make the price go up since they would be buying back? What do you mean?
And ya, you'd think they would like to eventually present earnings with pride instead of being on the defensive yet again and bullshitting us.
It has been 2 months since FTV3 had first flight and while we are STILL waiting for FTV4, it will come "in the upcoming weeks". Why is everything "in the weeks to come"?? Why is this taking so long?
I guess we can say another Earnings report, another #$%$ day ahead of us.
Well, maybe one day......
Hope nobody spent any potential gains made this week cause they are more likely gone by the time market opens.
Seriously unbelievable.....

Pacquiao: Bradley Never Hurt Me With a Single Punch
By Ryan Burton
MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Welterweight Manny Pacquiao entered his post-fight press conference in good spirits despite losing a highly controversial split decision to Tim Bradley. The congressman was obviously bothered by the loss but feels confident that he will win the rematch. November 10th is reserved at the MGM for the second meeting between the two Top Rank promoted fighters.
Pacquiao said that even after coming out on the wrong side of a highly controversial decision that he has no problems fighting again in Las Vegas and that he prefers it.
"I want the fight in Las Vegas. I like fighting here at the MGM. They are very good to me," Pacquiao stated.
The Filipino had a befuddled look on his face when he was asked if he was ever hurt by any of Bradley's punches.
"To tell you the truth I don't remember him hurting me with one single punch. He hit me with some jabs but he didn't hurt me at all. Its amazing. It's unbelievable (the judges scores)," Pacquiao said as he still couldn't come to grips with the decision rendered by the judges.
Before leaving the dais Pacquiao urged the fans not to give up on boxing and said that the sport will bounce from the bad decision.

Hi Chictopians!
This is my last post on Chictopia!
Yeah…I thought about this for a while…and so I chose to leave Chictopia!
That's so sad…but as you may have seen I haven't posted a lot lately, like I used to post twice a week or so…the main reason is that I've recently moved to Paris and started building a new life, I'm trying to make it here…so I haven't much time to take and post new pictures and also to follow the community like I used to do. So I came up with this…
It wasn't easy because I've always enjoyed the community, it has been so important to me…I've spent here almost 4 years and I'm very grateful to the Chictopia staff for creating this site that helped me a lot through these years and in such different ways!
I want to thank you ALL my followers…it's unbelievable…I've never thought someone could like my style…that's true. And then A BIG THANKS to all the people I've met here…whose style inspired me, who supported me with their kind and sweet comments…THANKS-THANKS-THANKS!
Of course I'm not leaving the net, you can still get in touch with me through my online shop: INVERTED COMMAS I'm pretty active on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram…and there's also an INVERTED COMMAS account here on Chictopia (hopefully I'll try to comment your looks through that account!).
I'd love to write more…but I think I've already written enough, I'm doubtful someone will read till here lol I just want to thank again all the wonderful people who made this community so wonderful! For me Chictopia has never been only about fashion…I hope this will keep for everyone!

Volleyball crowds out in full force
SEATTLE -- It was easy to fill KeyArena on Thursday with hometown Washington joining powerhouse Penn State and defending champion Texas in the Final Four field.
Washington, the Pac-12 champion, was dismantled 3-0 by Penn State, missing a prime opportunity to compete for its first title since 2005 in its own city. Most tickets were packaged deals for both nights, however, so a few Huskies fans simply mixed whatever red they could find with their purple in support of the Cinderella in the field, Wisconsin, which fell before an announced crowd of 14,779.
A No. 12 seed, the Badgers were the lowest to advance to a championship match. Wisconsin upset Texas 3-1 in a semifinal matchup. The Penn State-Wisconsin matchup was the third meeting of the season between the Big Ten schools and seventh time in NCAA tourney history that two programs from the same conference advanced to the title match.
KeyArena was formatted to seat 14,975. The sellout on Thursday ranked as the third-largest crowd to watch the semifinals at an NCAA volleyball Final Four.

The New Yorks Times report that nutritionists and researchers have reacted positively to the news that General Mills has added whole grains to breakfast cereals that did not include them before. But the praise is not without reservation: the fiber content of many of the cereals has increased very little, if at all. "Whole grains" are buzz words for 2005. One market research firm, Mintel, has declared them the ingredient of the year. On Monday, Post cereals announced its lineup of whole grain cereals. The rush brings back memories of the late 1980's and the oat bran craze , which lost steam as soon as oat bran potato chips appeared on the market.

Less known is that during all the missions they made image sequences which with todays computer technics can be stitched together into 360 degrees interactive panoramas giving you the possibility to view the moon almost as you were there. Many of these panoramas have been published before, but in low resolution and displayed in small sizes. During the last year the original films have been rescanned in large resolution and the Apollo 11 images were released the week before the 35 year anniversary.

Is the Half-Life 2 EULA and its Steam illegal?Submitted by ant on Mon, 02/07/2005 - 12:04pm. Addon/Modification | Non-Apple Computer Games | Online Games | Personal | Reading Materials | Technology
This Inquirer article says many people are having problems connecting to the Steam servers to play Half-Life 2. People say that you could always use offline mode to play without an Internet connection, but these people seem oblivious to reports online that many people are unable to get this mode to function properly.
More interesting, perhaps, are the legal agreements that surround a purchase of Half-Life 2. One is that no mention of Steam is on the HL2 box or in the End User License Agreement (EULA), yet it is required to play. The second is that where a gamer buys a copy of the game for which the CDKey has already been hacked, he/she will have to wait up to two weeks to get a replacement from Sierra/Vivendi, since shops will generally not take back opened software. The third is that no copy of the game can be sold without paying Valve a $10 fee to transfer the CD-Key to another Steam account.
The German Consumer Association has recently found that the packaging on Half-Life 2 is misleading.

Zed (Tarantinoverse)
Redirected from Zed (Pulp Fiction)
this wiki
If you are 18 years or older or are comfortable with graphic material, you are free to view this page. Otherwise, you should close this page and view another page.
Zed is one of the villains from the hit 1994 motion picture, Pulp Fiction. He is the true main antagonist of the chapter called "The Gold Watch."
Butch Coolidge was being chased by crime boss, Marcellus Wallace into a pawn shop where Butch nearly killed him. Suddenly the pawn shop owner, Maynard, held Butch at gun point with his shotgun, knocking out Butch while Marcellus slipped into an unconscious state after his fight with Butch. Meanwhile, Maynard phones in Zed.
Later on, Maynard woke them both up and they found themselves bound and gagged. Zed then arrives and they woke up 'The Gimp.' Zed would choose Marcellus randomly and himself and Maynard brought him to the back room. They bend Marsellus over a volting horse in the room and Zed raped him while Maynard was cheered him on. Butch manages to untie himself and knocks The Gimp out. Just as Butch is about to leave the pawn shop, he realises he can't leave Marsellus like this and goes back to save him with a katana in hand.
Butch sneaks up on Maynard and brutally slashes and stabs him with a sword. He then holds Zed at bay with the katana.
Butch egged on Zed to grab his handgun. During this time, Marsellus frees himself and picks up Maynard's shotgun. Before Zed could grab his pistol, Marsellus shoots off Zed's genitals with the shotgun. He vowed that Zed's suffering had only begun, promising that he would call his crew in to torture Zed with a pair of pliars and a blowtorch. Since Butch saved him, he called off his feud with him, provided he left Los Angeles forever and that he would keep what happened there between the three of them. Afterwards, Zed was tortured, mutilated and killed by Marsellus' men.
- He is played by actor Peter Greene, who also played Dorian Tyrell in The Mask.

Trial set for man linked to Dwyer
The drug and child pornography cases against a man linked to a missing Milwaukee woman have been consolidated and a trial date is set for June 2.
Kris Zocco, 39, was in court Monday with his attorney, Michael Levine. He is charged with 17 counts of possessing child pornography and several drug-related charges. He is free on $250,000 bail.
Zocco came to the attention of Milwaukee police while they were investigating the case of Kelly Dwyer, who was reported missing Oct. 12. Police learned she was with Zocco on Oct. 10. Zocco, who was described by a prosecutor as a "person of interest" in the search for Dwyer, has not been charged in her disappearance.
Search warrants unsealed this month outlined Zocco's apparently conflicting statements to authorities and how a cadaver dog led investigators to a Menomonee Falls landfill to search for evidence in the Dwyer case.
Boldts suggest charity donations
The family of Andrew Boldt, a West Bend native who was killed last week in a shooting at Purdue University, has invited anyone interested in giving a memorial donation to contribute to Boldt's church or high school or a scholarship fund in his name.
Services for Boldt have been set for Tuesday in West Bend, and Purdue University President Mitch Daniels plans to attend. Visitation will be from 3 to 6:30 p.m. at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church, followed by a funeral Mass at 7 p.m.
The family has suggested donations be made in Boldt's memory to St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Parish, Marquette University High School or the Andrew F. Boldt Memorial Scholarship Fund in the care of St. Frances Cabrini Parish.
Fellow Purdue student Cody M. Cousins, 23, was charged with murder Thursday, accused of shooting and stabbing Boldt in a campus lab last Tuesday.
Boy, 7, suffers gunshot wound
A 7-year-old boy suffered a minor gunshot wound in an accidental shooting that was not reported to Milwaukee police for two days, police said Monday night.
The shooting occurred Saturday in the 4800 block of N. Teutonia Ave., and the boy is being treated at a hospital, according to a Police Department news release.
A man was in custody Monday night in connection with the shooting, police said.
Also Monday, an 18-year-old man was shot about 7:30 p.m. during a suspected robbery in the 4100 block of N. 48th St., according to the release.
The man was taken to a hospital with an injury that is not life-threatening, and no suspects were in custody, police said.
10 arrested in prostitution sting
Milwaukee police have arrested 10 people in a prostitution sting at a motel on the city's south side, according to a department news release.
Three men and seven women were taken into custody Wednesday, when Milwaukee police officers and Milwaukee County sheriff's deputies conducted the sting.
The three men were arrested on pandering charges, and one of them also faces tentative charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance. Five of the women were arrested on tentative prostitution charges, one on pandering and one on solicitation.
5 accused of drunken driving
Five suspected drunken drivers, including two who drove the wrong way on freeway off-ramps, were arrested over the weekend during the Milwaukee County sheriff's office's Operation Drive Sober.
Deputies were notified about 11:45 p.m. Friday of the first wrong-way driver, who was traveling north on the southbound off-ramp from I-43 to W. North Ave. without headlights, the sheriff's office said in a news release. At the end of the ramp, the vehicle made a hard right and began driving in the correct direction.
A deputy found the vehicle stopped in a lane of I-94 westbound at Hawley Road with a passenger leaning outside the vehicle and vomiting.
The driver, Melissa Juopperi, 24, of Pleasant Prairie, had a blood-alcohol content of 0.16, according to the sheriff's office, more than twice the level considered proof of intoxication in Wisconsin. Her passengers, ages 16 and 17, were cited on allegations of underage drinking.
Juopperi faces a felony charge of recklessly endangering safety, and, if convicted, a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
The other wrong-way driver was stopped by a retired Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy about 1:20 a.m. Sunday.
The retired deputy said the vehicle had been northbound on the southbound I-894 off-ramp to W. Beloit Road, then corrected itself shortly after reaching oncoming traffic and was traveling about 80 mph.
The driver, Joseph Laudon, 28, of West Allis, hit a wall twice on the southbound I-43 off ramp to Highway 100 before stopping at the end of the ramp.
He was arrested and faces charges of recklessly endangering safety and third-offense drunken driving. If convicted, he faces a maximum 11 years in prison.
Panel to consider pedal taverns
Ald. Robert Bauman is offering two ordinances involving pedal taverns at Wednesday's Public Works Committee meeting.
A new state law that took effect on Jan. 1 added commercial quadricycles, such as Milwaukee's Pedal Tavern, to the list of public places where alcoholic beverages can be consumed.
Bauman said the new law authorizes a municipality to pass an ordinance regulating pedal taverns. One proposal would prohibit alcoholic beverages on pedal taverns and the other would allow fermented malt beverages.
Derek Collins, one of the co-owners of the Pedal Tavern, said Monday he planned to be at Wednesday's meeting, which begins at 9 a.m. at City Hall.
Man fatally struck by vehicle
A 42-year-old Sheboygan man was killed Monday when he was struck by a vehicle on southbound State Highway 57 at State Highway 144 in the Town of Sherman, according to the Sheboygan County sheriff's office.
According to a sheriff's office news release, the man had just left a vehicle that was in a ditch and had walked onto the highway when he was struck. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and the driver of the striking vehicle was not injured, according to the release.

text: My inspiration comes from the bicycle itself. They are almost begging to be reborn, reshaped into something surprising and beautiful. A bicycle lends itself well to re-purposing: the sexy sprockets, curvy rims, flexible rubber, and sturdy frame make for endless design possibilities. With no formal art or design education, all my pieces are raw imagination with practical structural design all mixed together with my love of bicycles. In the beginning, I started out using only the metal parts of the bike, but I never threw away the other parts since I knew I would use them somehow, someday. Now I'm expanding my design range by weaving, sewing and arranging the tires and inner tubes.

Get fit Mondays
Finding a fitness buddy is sometimes all it takes to get off the couch and eliminate the excuses to work out. That's what Carolina Castaneda has created with her Fit Club exercise group on Mondays at SpringHill Suites.
Castaneda, 34, and her family relocated to Erie from California in March 2013 and quickly bonded with two other fitness-minded moms at their sons' soccer games. Both Beth Groves and Christina Mulvin were eager to get back into regular workout routines and make healthier nutrition choices, a lifestyle Castaneda has embraced.
Groves, 42, and Mulvin, 41, had always been athletic but needed that extra push to get moving.
That push comes Monday nights at Fit Club exercise class coordinated by Castaneda at SpringHill Suites on Interchange Road. When she reached out to the hotel for space for the club to meet, the management responded positively. "It's been a mutually beneficial relationship; some of their guests have even joined us on Mondays," Castaneda said.
One hotel guest from Cleveland who joined them for a class has kept in touch with the group. "That one exposure to our group ignited a fire in her, and she is striving to develop a healthier lifestyle," said Castaneda.
The group now averages about 15 women, who use a different workout video each week, such as P90X or TurboFire, Les Mills Combat, 21 Day Fix Abs and Insanity to guide them. "We mix it up, from cardio, dance and yoga to mixed martial arts," Castaneda explained. "Often, the participants will want to continue the particular workout routine at home, and we serve as a resource for purchasing the programs."
But the group camaraderie doesn't end when the weekly session is over. "We are a support group in a sense," Mulvin said. "We're there to support each other and provide encouragement any day of the week, not just on Monday."
The participants keep in touch through social media and hold one another accountable. "We talk about our workouts, our healthy, and sometimes not-so-healthy, eating habits. We share our successes and failures," Groves added.
"It's all about loving and supporting each other to achieve health of both body and mind."
Castaneda encourages women of all ages, shapes and sizes to give Fit Club a try. "Not only will it jump-start your fitness program, but it's a great way to meet new friends; we're like family," she said.
Chris Graziano, a CT technologist, has been in Fit Club since November and regularly does home workouts. She said she likes the ability to work out whenever she wants in the privacy of her home but likes getting together as a group weekly. Some of the women, including Graziano, 40, participate in 30-day fitness challenges and share their progress with others in Fit Club online.
Some of the women plan to tackle the 2014 Barber Beast on the Bay.
Demand may allow the group to add a second venue to meet twice each week. But for now, Castaneda said the workout is simple: provide support for each other and improve overall well-being.

Hi! I need help. I am a first time laptop user. I bought a wireless router when I bought my new laptop last week. Right now I am using dialup internet with a setup date for satellite internet service 9/17. I have documents I need to print, but I am having difficulty figuring all this out. I have a Belkin "G" router and a Brother brand printer I just bought. So it's all new. In attempting to install the router with the laptop, I got an error message that it wasn't installed even though the router showed data exchange via flashing green light, which then went solid indicating a connection. Do I need to use a cable of any kind? Do I need to install the printer first? Shouldn't the router work without an internet connection? The instructions that come with both router and printer all mention an ISP. I want to use my printer now. Any information will be helpful, or else I all the Geek Squad ($$$$).
Your quickest solution is to plug the printer into the notebook using a USB cable and follow the instructions for installing. Depending on which model router, it may or may not have wireless capability. If it does, then the router's documentation should give you step by stop insructions for setting it up but without an internet connection, you're not going to get much utility that you can't get by plugging the printer into the notebook. It is possible to set up the router and configure it as a local network with no internet but with only a notebook and a printer, it's more trouble than it's worth. Once you have your satellite ISP set up, then you can connect the router to the satellite modem and proceed to configure the system. One thing, if the printer isn't network or wireless ready, then you'll still need to plug it into the notebook with USB.
The printer I have is wireless, but with the option of using USB cable. The printer works on it's own (makes good copies). The router ( Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is connecting with the printer. However, I have yet to use the router CD. I did the printer installation from the CD, following the "easy instructions" (that are not so easy). The printer icon on the taskbar shows the printer is offline. When I check the printer status on the menu, it shows "ready". I cannot print a document. I did the recommended troubleshooting steps in the Brother User's Guide and what I read online. I am not sure about the recommended steps: "Check IP address and Boot Method (IP Config) of your
Brother machine; Boot Method: STATIC setting; Change setting from Brother Control Panel, choosing LAN or Network and TCP/IP menu". What? I am in over my head, no doubt. Can someone translate?

I've Done Been Tagged: Five Things You Didn't Know About Me
|Email Print
Mapgirl tagged me to tell five things you all probably don't know about me and so here it goes:
1. In high school, I was a foil fencer and through the expert instruction of Jeff Salmon, I went to a couple sectionals and had a pretty good time at it. Unfortunately, once I hit college, I couldn't handle the 8AM competition start times and it sort of dropped off. Besides fencing, basketball and football are the other sports I really enjoy playing. Oh yeah, and kickball… but that could be because of the drinking involved.
2. My fiancée says I probably have some sort of attention disorder, I think she just wants more attention. I'm also fairly certain I'll get in trouble for writing that.
3. My favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption and the first I saw it was on a trip to China on the People to People Student Ambassador program when I was sixteen.
4. Eventually I want to get a dog. Preferably one with lots of wrinkles.
5. When I started college, I didn't even consider joining a fraternity. On the first day of orientation, one of my good friends suggested we check out the fraternity quad and so we did. A few years later, he became President and I became Treasurer of Delta Tau Delta and it was one of the things I really enjoyed at college.
Now I have to tag five people but I won't, because most of them have already done this… except
Cap at Stop Buying Crap.

"The Bluefield College Exercise and Sport Science Department is under outstanding leadership. Not only are the teachers experts in their fields, but they are also Christian leaders. Currently, I am doing cancer research at the University of Tennessee, where I am pursuing a master's degree in Cellular Molecular Nutrition. There is no doubt that I would not be in this position today if it were not for the outstanding Exercise and Sport Science faculty who encouraged me to follow my passion, and most importantly, what God has planned for my life!"
Tabatha Robbins
Class of 2010
"I loved my time at Bluefield College! Dr. Minnix and Dr. Bryan are simply wonderful professors! They pushed me to achieve excellence and not to give up the first time I applied for but was denied entrance to physical therapy school. Thanks to them, I also gained valuable internship experiences in the community, working hands-on with wonderful physical therapists. Also, they mentored me and guided me during my tenure at Bluefield College."

Thanks for donations to animal infirmary
On behalf of Nancy Laird, R.N., and her tireless team at the Wild Animal Infirmary for Nevada in Washoe Valley, we wish to thank the good folks of Carson City and surrounding areas for their generous donations to aid this wonderful organization in their tireless and unending work of rescuing ill and injured wildlife, caring for them as they heal, performing rehabilitation and ultimately releasing wildlife when appropriately healthy.
There continues to be a need for certain items to aid in their efforts. Among those items are large handheld cotton, not nylon or synthetic, fishing nets to restrain the raptors (hawks, eagles, etc.) while being treated. (Cotton does better at not injuring the birds as it is more forgiving to any possible wing damage). Also, Exact and NutriStart (baby songbird food), chick starter, and game bird starter, hen scratch and puppy pads, small ones, about 17 by 24 inches, and large pads, about 24 by 36 inches, (used in the indoor cages, as well as the carriers since the birds are not house-broken). Also, new carpet samples 16 by 24 inches or 21 by 23 inches (used in cages for birds with spinal injuries), and pet heating pads that do not turn off for placing injured wildlife on to facilitate faster recoveries.
With the continuing drought and the increase of new patients at WAIF, all of the above are desperately needed, including any cash donations.
As always, WAIF is an IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, nonprofit, educational and charitable organization charted in 1978 to care for ill, injured and orphaned wildlife. When the birds and animals have recovered, they are returned to the wild.
If anyone has items to donate and cannot take them directly to WAIF (2920 Eagle St., Carson City, NV 89704), please call us at 775-246-9174 and we will arrange for pickup and will see that you receive a tax receipt for your kindness. Thank you.
Fred and Carole Bien

I can't understand how Rhonda's squares are so neat....and square when she is such a loose knitter (ie compared to me)! I only hope the other squares are of a similar size to the first..
