Transcend is doing very little to combat the fake memory market, Transcend themselves distribute fake memory be it by accident or not, bottom line is I received memory from Transcend for my laptop which I had a problem with after installation.
After spending some time with technical support to no avail I ended up sending the memory back to Transcend, they claimed that the memory I sent back was not theirs. This Transcend memory came sealed in the Transcend original heat sealed package had the Transcend hologram on it and the white sticker with memory specifications on it, that didn't do me any good, the memory ended up being something else.
According to Transcend I purchased two 1GB/533MHz modules, which I did. When I received the modules and put them in my laptop, my laptop recognized them as two 256MB/400MHz modules. After sending them back, Transcend said I sent them two 128MB/400MHz modules that weren't even theirs. Transcend even sent me pictures of the modules I sent back to them. After looking at the pictures they look like the same modules I received from them and then sent back to them.
The sad thing is I bought it directly through Transcend online, so much for trying to avoid surprises. I am out of around $300 because of Transcend, and I can't do anything about it.
As far as I am concerned Transcend cant be trusted to do business with and I wouldn't recommend this company anyone. I suggest that people go do business elsewhere, just to be safe rather than sorry afterwards, like me.

More than 125 years ago, after the 1874 elections, Pablo Laveaga became the first Hispanic ever elected to the Nevada Legislature, representing Humboldt County.
The next Hispanic legislator in Nevada came 70 years later. The third was not elected until another 38 years had passed.
Recently, however, thanks to changes in the state's demographics and opportunities that have come from tweaks in the state electoral system, Hispanics have been getting elected at a much faster pace.
In 2010 six freshman Hispanic politicians were elected to the Nevada Assembly, making eight total in the Legislature. This year, Mo Denis, first elected to the Assembly in 2004, became the first Hispanic majority leader of the Nevada Senate. The governor and attorney general are both Hispanic.
Still, Hispanic politicians and community leaders say there is much more to be accomplished. There are no Hispanic members on the North Las Vegas City Council, Clark County Commission, the Clark County School District Board of Trustees or Henderson City Council. No Hispanic has ever been elected to the U.S. House of Representatives or Senate from Nevada.
Yet, thanks to a crop of dynamic and ambitious Hispanic community leaders, and an increasingly engaged Hispanic electorate, there is hope the momentum gained in the last decade will not fade.
The perspectives of a champion of civic engagement, a political analyst and an elected rising star show a consensus: Hispanics are influencing Nevada and national politics like never before, but they cannot let the current momentum slip away.
Promoting Political Participation
Fernando Romero has led Hispanics in Politics, the oldest Hispanic political organization in Las Vegas, for the better part of 15 years.
The nonpartisan group initially started as a wing of the Las Vegas Latin Chamber of Commerce in 1982, but it became its own entity in 1995. In 2012 a parade of candidates came through the organization's regular breakfast meetings, looking for support. That wasn't always the case.
In 1980 Nevada's Hispanic population was roughly 55,000; by 1990 it was just under 125,000; and in 2000 it hit 394,000. By 2010 there were more than 700,000 Hispanics in the state, and the Hispanic proportion of the state's population was 26.5 percent. To exert political influence, though, these new Nevadans had to vote.
"Roads have to paved," Romero said. "Some of us who have been here for quite some time had been chopping away at the trees for many, many years ... Most of us who have been here awhile were insisting that we have this tool called the vote, and the community needed to use it."
From 2004 to 2012, Hispanics grew their share of the Nevada electorate from 10 percent to 18 percent, according to the Pew Research Center. During that same period the Hispanic portion of the national electorate went from 8 percent to 10 percent.
"Latinos in Nevada have short roots," Romero said. "We haven't been around in Nevada for a while, like in the states where many of us came from, like Texas, New York, Florida and California. The roots were small and participation was not as profound as in other states where people are second-, third- and fourth-generation. It took awhile for individuals moving into the state to grasp the sense of community."
The relative youth of the community was just one factor that set the Nevada political scene apart for Hispanics.

Emo David wears aforementioned glasses even though his eyesight is fine and doesn't actually need them. Emo David loves to take photographs of himself at weird angles. Emo David cries in the corner of his room when he isn't in his friends' myspace top 8. Emo David wears his sister's trousers. Emo David goes to concerts and plays the air guitar whilst attempting to mosh. Emo David slits his wrists and wears short sleeved shirts so everyone can know that he's a 'true' emo. Emo David's acoustic guitar is his best friend. Ever. Emo David loves to insert lots of "X"s into his screenames. Eg: xXHeartsXofXbleedingXpainXx
Example: Person 1: Steve is such an Emo David. Person 2: Yeah, totally.

Digging The Etruscans: 15 Seasons And Counting

[ 8 ]
P. Gregory Warden, University Distinguished Professor of Art History, has just celebrated the 15th anniversary of the Mugello Valley Archaeological Project, an Etruscan dig 20 miles northeast of Florence, Italy. The Etruscan civilization existed from 1000 B.C. to 50 B.C. and eventually was subsumed by the Romans. He serves as principal investigator and co-director of the project's Poggio Colla Field School, an internationally recognized research training center in which SMU has participated since 1995 with the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Franklin and Marshall College. For the first time, the Meadows Museum at SMU displayed nearly 100 Etruscan artifacts discovered at Poggio Colla during the spring semester. In the following Q&A, Warden talks about Poggio Colla and its discoveries.
Q.Why study the Etruscans?
I was born in Florence and lived in Tuscany until I was 10 years old. My father was very interested in archaeology. For me, Mediterranean history is everywhere in Tuscany. Wherever you go in an Italian town, there are visible Roman ruins and Etruscan walls. It didn't seem at all esoteric. I had worked all over the Mediterranean – I studied the Greeks in Libya and the Romans – but the Etruscans are my first love. Because we're excavating in the valley where I grew up, that is a great advantage to me as a scholar. I knew the area intimately, it was archaeologically interesting and there was a lot to be discovered.
Q. What are among the significant discoveries at Poggio Colla?
The Poggio Colla site spans most of Etruscan history, from 700 BCE to the town's destruction by the Romans around 178 BCE, which makes it very rare. The Etruscans picked beautiful, easily defended hilltops for their settlements. As a result, many Etruscan sites are used as cities today. That means many have 2,000 years of other civilizations on top of Etruscan artifacts. Poggio Colla, however, represents an entire settlement – including tombs, a temple, a pottery factory and an artisan community. One significant discovery is the Podere Funghi complex, a terrace below the acropolis sanctuary, where we found a habitation area with kilns and artisan production. A surprise has been the discovery of a fortified sanctuary of a temple that was destroyed. The temple is revealing much new information about the Etruscans, who had a theocratic social structure and were considered the most religious peoples of the ancient Mediterranean.
Q. Both undergraduate and graduate students are included on every dig. What have they contributed to the research?
We attract spectacular students who come from universities all around the United States. We train them on site in the actual physical aspects of archaeology. It takes about a week for them to get comfortable. Our students are our eyes and hands, excavating intelligently. They are finding primary sources such as ceramics, figural bronzes, the remains of a destroyed temple such as stone bases or parts of the foundation, and even gold jewelry and silver coins. They have to document everything carefully and be able to reconstruct where every piece was found. They also spend time in the onsite lab cataloging and processing all the finds that come down in great numbers. The students are surrounded by experts who are there to help them learn the process and who can mentor them. A few come back every year. (For more information on the 2009 dig, visit blog.smu.edu/StudentAdventures/archaeology _in_italy_2009.)
Q.What are the ongoing plans for Poggio Colla?
After 20 years, we'll stop digging. We could dig for 100, there's so much stuff around there. But the ethical thing to do is to stop at some point and publish. You have to publish your data before you excavate more. We've discovered so much in the lab that we didn't know before, like the kinds of activities going on in the artisan area, the types of pottery being made. Questions like who destroyed the temple and why was it destroyed aren't going to be answered by digging. We're going to answer those questions by analyzing all the items that we found and their context.
Q.What do you hope SMU's legacy will be to Poggio Colla?
We're passionate about training people who care about the past and saving the Etruscan culture and heritage. That includes our students, because even though many of them won't go on to become archaeologists, they will still understand why preservation is important. The project also brings in Italian high school students from the region to attend lectures and to excavate with us. When we leave, hundreds of students will know why this site is important and will let other people know, so that it won't be destroyed. Italy's cultural heritage is disappearing. We can't preserve it all, but we do what we can. For more information: smu.edu/poggio

Straight out of Hungary, Sonia puts her twenty two year old pussy up for your inspection. Sure she is beautiful and graceful, but does her Big Taco twat have what it takes to make her worthy of your attention? Every girl on Wet And Puffy knows that she needs to impress you with each performance because it's your rulings that decide which models we bring back again and which get left behind.
Sonia and Blue
- Movie length: 16' 27''
- Updated on: Jul 19 '12
These two sexy girls are dressed in shimmering lingerie but it quickly falls by the side as they dig in to each others feminine charms. With sweet nipples being exposed and licked hard there is no time to waste on cumbersome clothes anyway. Both Sonia and Blue have a big taco and they each get a workout from an eager tongue in turn. Shining bright with wetness only adds to the tangy flavor they desire.
Angel and Sonia
- Contents: 132 pics
- Updated on: Jul 9 '12
Sonia and Angel are having a sexy encounter in their favorite lingerie. The clothing comes off quickly as lips and tongue meet nipples to get the ball rolling. These lovely ladies take turns at each others big taco pussies and don't stop until the other is curling her toes in uncontrolled joy. This pair of gorgeous girls will surely come together again after this completely enjoyable episode.
Black Sonia
- Movie length: 20' 55''
- Updated on: Jun 23 '10
Fingers, shows and toys are all used in this exciting episode starring the alluring Black Sonia! She starts off fingering her fuckholes, but before long she is jamming her pussy with a nice deep high heel stiletto shoe. It's nice to know that when Sonia walks into a room, you can bet her shoes have been in her pussy before. Sort of sexually reassuring in a way that this girl would fuck almost anything!
- Contents: 123 pics
- Updated on: Apr 30 '10
Sonia is making the big step up from dancing as a local stripper in Hungarian cabaret clubs to showing you everything online as the newest Wet And Puffy close-up pussy performer! Her Big Taco is just too tasty to be kept confidential and when one of our scouts saw her long legs and cameltoe twat lips parading on stage during a pole-dance we knew she would be perfect for our last update of this month. She's got great eyes, a tight body and she really knows how to move with an erotic rhythm. That means Sonia is great for viewing as part of our collection and even better for fucking live and in person! More than just a tease, Sonia is the submissive brunette from Hungary whose sole desire is pleasing you from the moment the camera starts until the last droplet of pussy nectar has dipped down along her inner thighs!

The building:
Is an old building 7 stories high from the beginning of the 20th century that has been completely renewed and refurbished with two apartments per floor. A new small elevator (interior measures 54x85 cm) has been installed twelve steps up from the entrance/street level.
In 1850 the Vila de Gracia was an independent town with more than 13.000 inhabitants and constantly growing thanks to its progressive industrialization with many artisans and small manufacturers. However, when the Eixample was developed in the late 19th century, Gracia ceased to be a town and become a neighbourhood in the larger metropolis. The elegant Avenue of the Passeig de Gracia in the project of Ildefons Cerdá for the Exaimple was created to join the old Vila de Gracia to the city of Barcelona.
Gracia is immediately recognizable for its narrow streets, impressive contrast to the wide, modern boulevards of L'Eixample, and it feels like a whole different world. Gracia still retains the village atmosphere of bygone years but, at the same time, is one of the most popular neighbourhoods with young people. Traditional shops stand side by side with unique colourful bars and restaurants from different places of the world, design and ethnical shops and alternative clothing shops, art galleries and book stores in pedestrian and semi pedestrian streets. And very specially the different and very lively squares; the Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia or Clock square (Plaça del Rellotge), the emblematic Diamant square (Plaça del Diamant) where takes place the well-known novel of Mercè Rodoreda, the Virreina square or the concurred Sun square (Plaça de Sol) full of beautiful terrace cafes.
There is also a mixture of the old traditional houses with modern rational buildings and some very interesting examples of Modernist architecture from well konwn architects Domenech i Montaner or Antoni Gaudi.
The best connection to the Plaça Catalunya, Gothic Neighbourhood and the Ramblas is with the Metro Green line from the Fontana station (6 minutes walk) or the Diagonal station (8 minutes walk). Also through the Green Line there are connections with other Metro lines for other interesting places to visit like the Sagrada Familia, or direct connection to the Montjuic Area or to start a visit to the Park Guell.
