Best Uses
When I recieved the first pair. The impact drill was great, but the drill looked like it was thrown off of the empire state building. It smoked when pulled the trigger and that should have been corrected before it was sent. The second set was great. I have no issues and the way that the company helped with the situation was superb!

text: It's particularly difficult to pin down the Top 11 Moments of Samuel L. Jackson, as just the sheer force of the iconic actor's presence is enough to qualify as a "moment" in and of itself. Truly, the man shows up on screen and he's immediately in charge; your eyes are drawn to him no matter who or what's sharing the frame with him. So, after much debate, trial and error, here are what we consider to be at least eleven of Samuel L. Jackson's Top 11 Moments.

Abstract: Zeolites are potentially a robust desalination alternative, as they are chemically stable and possess the essential properties needed to reject ions. Zeolite membranes could desalinate "challenging" waters, such as saline secondary effluent, without any substantial pre-treatment, due to the robust mechanical properties of ceramic membranes. A novel MFI-type zeolite membrane was developed on a tubular α-Al2O3 substrate by a combined rubbing and secondary hydrothermal growth method. The prepared membrane was characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and single gas (He or N2) permeation and underwent desalination tests with NaCl solutions under different pressures (0.7 MPa and 7 MPa). The results showed that higher pressure resulted in higher Na+ rejection and permeate flux. The zeolite membrane achieved a good rejection of Na+ (~82%) for a NaCl feed solution with a TDS (total dissolved solids) of 3000 mg·L−1 at an applied pressure of 7 MPa and 21 °C. To explore the opportunity for high salinity and high temperature desalination, this membrane was also tested with high concentration NaCl solutions (up to TDS 90,000 mg·L−1) and at 90 °C. This is the first known work at such high salinities of NaCl. It was found that increasing the salinity of the feed solution decreased both Na+ rejection and flux. An increase in testing temperature resulted in an increase in permeate flux, but a decrease in ion rejection.

Donations to free Apps (in app billing)...word of warning
If you like to flash ROMs or switch phones by upgrading I would pass along a bit of experience with the use of free Apps that ask for you to donate to get rid of ads. It is perfectly legal, but I don't like it and will never again donate to a "free" app. Here's why. Google will keep track of the pay status and will never again let you donate, which is good, but...if you change ROMs or phones and reinstall the app thru a backup, the licensing is not in the app nor the data...but Google Play doesn't show that it has been "purchased" because it IS a free app. So when you install it you are back to the ad version even though you paid for it. You are now at the mercy of email to the developer to reset YOUR license at his end. This is not acceptable to me. I've had problems get responses back from these guys. I am NOT saying don't PURCHASE apps, in fact I think these "free" apps should be pay apps from the start. Maybe put out a "Trial version." Out of app billing ensures you have a stored license that all you have to do is reinstall from google play or your back up. The app developers deserve to be paid for their work, but going about getting it through "in-app donations" is a real pain in the ****. As for me, I just won't do it from now on. If you are an app developer and you would like payment, ask for donations but don't link payment of donations to a better version (i.e. ad free) of your app. Put the better version up for sale like standard.
Thanked by: - 11-21-2012, 11:53 AM #2
Re: Donations to free Apps (in app billing)...word of warning
If you want to help developers by all means send them money...but if you want add free apps stock-root your phone (which is the closes to stock that you can be and run add free and you will never have another add regardless.....one of the main advantages in my opinion to root the phone. There are many very reliable and ***** proof methods available that can be done by most users with very little or non experience of programming. Check XDA developers under your model

White's Goal in OT the Difference in Season Opener vs. Drexel
Posted: 2:47 PM Feb 16, 2013
White's Goal in OT the Difference in Season Opener vs. Drexel
Eleven seconds into the first overtime period, Virginia's Matt White scored his second career overtime goal off a feed from Nick O'Reilly to give the Cavalier men's lacrosse team (1-0) a 13-12 win over Drexel (0-1) Saturday at Klöckner Stadium.
Nick O'Reilly led all players with eight points, including a career-high six assists. White led all players with four goals.
Freshman Dan Marino picked up the win in goal.
"This has always been a very difficult first game for us," said Virginia head coach Dom Starsia. "Drexel always plays us tough, so we expected this coming in. We're still very much a work in progress all over the field, in particular at the offensive end. While I thought we battled, we did turn the ball over a couple of times and we made some mistakes that probably cost us a couple of times. But overall, we're glad to see a little grit and see our fellas battle to get the W."
Virginia returns to action on Tuesday night when VMI travels to Klöckner Stadium. Faceoff is slated for 7 p.m.

Navy partnering Tomahawks and small unmanned aircraft as hunter-killers (Defensetech)
Unmanned aircraft seem to get all the headlines these days. But the ship- and submarine-launched Tomahawk cruise missile — an unmanned aircraft that goes on a one-way trip — is quietly upping its game.
Today's Tomahawk Block IV can circle for hours, shift course instantly on command and beam a picture of its target to controllers halfway around the world. Controllers can plan missions in an hour, which is a huge improvement over the 80 hours needed when the weapon first debuted in combat.
Tomahawks can fly into heavily defended airspace and precisely strike high-value targets with minimal collateral damage.
During the NATO-led effort against the regime of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, the Tomahawk played an instrumental role in the operation. One submarine fired more than 90 missiles at a variety of targets, and the USS Barry fired the 2,000th Tomahawk in combat.
As the battlespace and the needs of the warfighter evolve, Raytheon will continue to do what it has always done: support the warfighter with the world's best cruise missile — Tomahawk.
The latest variant of the missile, Tomahawk Block IV, includes a two-way satellite data-link that enables a strike controller to redirect the missile in-flight to preprogrammed alternate targets or more critical targets. With a range of approximately 1,000 statute miles, the Tomahawk Block IV missile is a surface- and submarine-launched precision strike stand-off weapon.
In October 2013, the 3000th Tomahawk Block IV missile was delivered to the U.S. Navy as part of its ninth Block IV full-rate FY12 production contract. The Block IV missile design was initiated as both a cost savings and a capability improvement effort.

Twitter has a business plan, Opera Mini has been approved by the Apple App Store, the mobile Internet will soon overtake the fixed Internet, and despite a raging professional video game culture, Korea is trying to keep kids from gaming 24-7. But they NEED them! We're so confused! --Molly

Great CardPros: Powerful. 448 cores Cons: Super Big. Other Thoughts: If you buy two of these you will be a very happy camper. They are cost effective and perform like champs. Even with one of these cards you can easily enjoy playing any game on the market with no issues whatsoever. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great card but...Pros: Great card, extremely fast. Performance is outstanding. Cons: The shroud is poorly designed and the fan blades are very brittle. One of my cards fan blades caught the shroud and exploded. Other Thoughts: EVGA will replace shroud for free if under warranty but should not have to go through this process. Just a bad design. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
BeastlyPros: This card is an absolute beast, well I must say THESE cards considering I have two in SLI...It out performs on everything I can throw at it. Both of mine are overclocked to 860mhz but I have pushed it to 900mhz for benchmarking. It scores just as high if not higher as two gtx 570s. I chose this card over a gtx 570 because it has a much better cooling structure (dual fans). Best part is newegg sent me sibling cards with S/N right after each other. No micro stuttering on these cards. I was worried that they would run a bit warm, but they sit in idle at 29C in my case and under full power they hit upper 60s. Cons: The fans...you know they turn on when it sounds like a jet turbine firing out of the back of your computer, but with the power these cards have, they hardly turn on. Only really heard them fire up under benchmarking. Other Thoughts: My system Did you find this review helpful? |
AWESOME!!!Pros: Great card! Runs everything I can through at it! MW3, Battlefield 3, Medal of Honor....@1920x1080 High detail.....You name it and it runs it great!! Cons: None I can think of! Did you find this review helpful? |
Pretty awesome cardPros: -Runs very cool, the dual fan design is pretty neat Cons: -The fans can get LOUD. Shouldn't be a problem with headphones, but still it's pretty loud to me. Other Thoughts: My only real complaint about this card is that it only has 1280mb of VRAM. For the price you pay, I would expect more VRAM. Just my opinion though. Did you find this review helpful? |
BEASTPros: Smashes every game I have thrown at it without breaking a sweat Cons: None Other Thoughts: Intel i5-2500k Did you find this review helpful? |
Not to ShabbyPros: Upgrade from a Radeon 4870. This card increases my fps in every game and the quality is simply stunning. Also for laughs the case badge is pretty cool as well. Cons: The card is HUGE!!. I have a mid/full case and had to re-do a lot of my wires in order to get it to fit in. Also my card sits directly on top of my sound card so I am hoping that doesn't create an issue later on down the road. Other Thoughts: So far its a great card and I hope to put it through it's paces. Will probably benchmark it just to see the numbers. I can't afford SLI but 1 seems plenty for me. Did you find this review helpful? |
Rock SolidPros: I went too long before upgrading my system. Being more frugal and tired of spending $2000 every 2 years (just to hang with the Jones( I tried a mid level priced build. I am not dissappointed with the system and I am very happy with this card. For what I do and the games I play (Skyrim, BF3 etc) there are no hiccups but, with some of the highest settings tweeked. It is pretty quiet, fits in my case fine and is pretty much a 570GTX but, cheaper. Cons: I have not had any issues after owning this for 4 months, not one. Other Thoughts: I keep saying I should buy another, slap it in SLI so I can crank every setting on the newest games. The truth is, every game I have looks stunning, and plays at good frame rates. So, why waste the money. In two years I will buy the next close to the best thing (700 blah blah TI etc...) If the benchmarks are close and you save $200 bucks, call it what you want. Did you find this review helpful? |
Working Nicely. not 680gtx =(Pros: Fast. 448 cores. Overclockable... I've had up to 900Mhz with the EVGA OC tool. Cons: This 560ti 448 card is kinda huge... I have it crammed into my mid-tower ATX would not recommend to get one of these if you don't have full-tower. Other Thoughts: Not the 680gtx =( I woulda waited for it if I knew the price would be $500... so worth that with how much longer that card will last for newer games. Newegg!!! please carry PALIT cards once again. I had 2x 8800gt Palit cards that had best cooling ever and lasted very long. EVGA is alright so far, but I like the stuff PALIT does. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Fantastic card. Overclocked to 915/1830 with only slight voltage modding in EVGA Precision. Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? |

When athletes are interviewed, they are usually asked to comment on a game or team activity. But I rarely hear anything about an athlete's daily schedule or how their sport affects the more mundane aspects of their life.
This week made me realize just how much soccer dictates my schedule, because I was turned upside-down. Normally, we have a game on Sunday, followed by a light recovery practice on Monday. Tuesday is our off-day and Wednesday is our hardest training day. Thursday is our game preparation day when we work on low-intensity drills, walk-throughs, and set pieces. Friday we have a game, Saturday we have a light recovery/preparation practice, and Sunday we play again.
But this week was different. We came off our hard-fought Crusader Classic weekend into an important conference game on Wednesday. WHAT!? Yea, you heard me right… Wednesday. And now this weekend we have no games at all. Instead of having an off day, on Tuesday we had practice in order to prepare for our Wednesday game. I was appalled to realize that my body has become so used to not training on Tuesday that my legs resisted the idea of running. It also cut into a big part of my usual scheduled catch-up-on-homework day, which has sort of put me behind on homework this whole week. On Wednesday we had to miss our afternoon classes in order to travel to Loyola, and then got home late, which affected both the amount of sleep we were able to get and the amount of homework and studying we were able to complete. Thursday was pretty much normal, except that I kept thinking that it was Monday. By the time Friday came, I was exhausted. I was anticipating having a social Friday night and was really excited for it, but by the time I actually got there, I just wanted to sleep. It was really weird to end classes on Friday and not have any practice or game that I had to play. Once classes ended on Friday, I felt like I was living in some sort of twilight zone. I could feel the weekend excitement in the air, but I kept thinking I had to do homework and prepare for class, which of course didn't happen because my roommate so graciously lured me into her normal Friday procrastination/jam session/ get ready for activities routine.
Regardless, it is all worth it because we BEAT LOYOLA. It will be nice having Sunday off from practice as well and hopefully I can get caught up on homework so I will be raring to go for our game this Wednesday against Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Agree, having the transcript of Obama's Rose Garden speech is very suspicious..Obama said "read the transcript, read the transcript"..he KNEW in advance.Seeing Obama in action, following seeing Biden in action convinces me that democrats made it impossible for any sort of bi-partisan work in Congress.

Romney wins every time he gets to pound Obama's woeful record to millions of Americans. You get people identifying with the person who is telling them what they know is true for them.

Looks like a good game, but I could not play it. Your start button did not work, and so I can't give it a good score.

Halo Headlines: Angels Fire Long-Time Scout, Mathis to Play for MLB in Taiwan, Moreno Finally Speaks About Organizational Changes
The October 11th, 2011 edition of daily news for the LA Angels including Angels fire long-time scout in unceremonious fashion, Mathis to play for MLB in exhibition series in Taiwan, Arte Moreno breaks his silence on the organizational changes and much more...
The Story: The Angels fired 68-year old scout Rich Schlenker in a "30-second phone call."
The Monkey Says: The Great Purge clearly isn't limited to the top. This is an unceremonious way to treat a guy who has served the Angels for so long, but it isn't the first time that the Halos have been accused of being somewhat insensitive when it comes to cutting an employee or player loose. The question now is why are the Angels already firing scouts and not just executives? It could be that they want to totally clear the deck for a new GM, even this feels like a bit much to accomplish that, unless they already have someone lined up (which I doubt). In their defense, it is also entirely possible that Schlenker just wasn't good enough at his job anymore.
The Monkey Says: Geez, Bud Selig, what did Taiwan ever do to you that you would subject them to that kind of torture? I feel like this borders on being a hate crime.

Hydraulic fracturing is a process in which water, sand and chemicals are pumped into the ground to create fractures in rocks which allows trapped gas and oil to come to surface. Environmental and health concerns associated with hydraulic fracturing include contamination of ground water, migration of gases and hydraulic fracturing chemicals to the surface and the potential mishandling of waste.

Hank Cochran spent his last night on earth surrounded with one of the constant loves of his life: country music.
On Wednesday night, the songwriter who brought the world âI Fall to Piecesâ and âMake the World Go Awayâ got a visit at his Hendersonville home from country singer Jamey Johnson. Billy Ray Cyrus and famed producer and songwriter Buddy Cannon showed up soon after.
âWe got there and Jamey was already sitting in his bedroom by Hank and singing him songs,â said Cannon, Mr. Cochranâs longtime friend and co-writer. âBilly Ray got his guitar out and started singing, and the next thing you know we were just passing the guitar around Hankâs bed just singing some songs, and Hank was actually trying to sing along a little bit.â
Mr. Cochran died the next morning following a years-long battle with cancer. He would have been 75 in August.
Mr. Cochran â whom Country Music Hall of Famer Merle Haggard claims as âa great mentorâ â wrote or co-wrote such classic songs as Patsy Clineâs âI Fall to Piecesâ and âSheâs Got You,â George Straitâs âOcean Front Propertyâ and âThe Chair,â Eddy Arnoldâs âMake the World Go Awayâ and Ronnie Milsapâs âDonât You Ever Get Tired (of Hurting Me).â

Apple vs. Samsung: 8 venues, 6 countries, more than 50 patents
July 7, 2011: 5:31 AM ETA move to "streamline" an epic legal battle has only made it more complicated
There was some confusion in the tech press last Saturday when Bloomberg reported that Samsung had quietly dropped a countersuit filed in California in response to Apple's (AAPL) charge last April that Samsung had "slavishly" copied Apple's iPhone.
"One down, one to go?" wrote Christopher Trout for Engadget.
Hardly. As FOSS Patents' Florian Mueller reported Wednesday, what Samsung did in California "was the opposite of a retreat." While claiming to streamline the case, Samsung actually complicated it, converting its countersuit into a counterclaim and throwing four new patents into the mix for good measure.
Apple's legal team, meanwhile, has been busy adding its own layers of complexity to what was already an epic legal snarl. Samsung had asked the U.S. International Trade Commission last week to block Apple from importing the iOS devices it makes in China, so Apple upped the ante Tuesday by asking the ITC for a preliminary injunction that would immediately ban Samsung's entire line of smart devices, including six smartphones and two tablets.
As Mueller's updated battlemap shows, the legal showdown now encompasses more than 50 patents and a half-dozen trademarks in six countries and eight legal venues. He traces the progress of the case step by step in a pdf that grows with every filing. It's now 17 pages long.

By Sarah Turner, MarketWatch
SYDNEY (MarketWatch) — Most major Asian stock markets made solid gains Friday, as the region's investors cheered signs of strength in the U.S. economy.
Among the best performers, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/realtime JP:NIK -1.01% ended 1.5% higher, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index /quotes/zigman/1653884/realtime AU:XJO +0.17% rallied to a closing gain of 1.8%.
In China, the Shanghai Composite Index /quotes/zigman/1858913/realtime CN:000001 -4.54% shrugged off early weakness to trade 1.2% higher in the afternoon, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/realtime HK:HSI -1.75% was 0.5% higher in late moves.
However, South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118/realtime KR:SEU -1.03% fell 0.6%, with losses for index heavyweight Samsung Electronics Co. /quotes/zigman/189457/realtime KR:005930 -1.42% /quotes/zigman/189458/delayed/quotes/nls/ssnlf SSNLF 0.00% providing a drag.
Asia's mostly higher performance came after U.S. stocks rose Thursday, with the S&P 500 index /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.05% coming very close to hitting a record high, just as the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -0.21% did last week.
An unexpected drop in jobless claims provided the trigger for U.S. gains, suggesting that the labor market is improving. Read: U.S. stock rally lifts S&P 500 to near record
"Without a doubt the biggest worry to investor positioning right now would be a reversal in the strong U.S. housing and consumer story. Happily, the latest U.S. retail sales data allay such fears," Bank of America Merrill Lynch's chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett said, referring to U.S. February retail data out Wednesday showing a strong improvement.
"We'll remain long stocks — particularly global banks, Japan and Europe — in the absence of a damaging jump in rates or a decline in corporate earnings," Hartnett said.
China's inflation dilemma
China's consumer inflation rises 3.2% in February from a year earlier. Barclays economist Jian Chang talks about what tightening measures the central bank can take to control price rises.
"Investors who missed the doubling in value of U.S. stocks since early 2009 seem determined not to miss a similar move by the Japanese equity indices," he said.
Hartnett said his bank's Japanese equity strategist has just revised up his end-2013 Topix target to 1,250. The Topix — which tracks all large-capitalization stocks traded in Tokyo — closed at 1,051.65 Friday for a gain of 1.3%.
Japan's stock gains Friday came as the government upgraded its assessment of the economy for the third straight month, citing improvements in industrial production and corporate profits. At the same time, the upper house of Japan's parliament confirmed Haruhiko Kuroda — seen as dovish on monetary policy — as the new governor of the Bank of Japan.

China's securities regulator has proposed scrapping some requirements applying to domestic investors seeking outbound investment, the latest in a series of moves that could further open up the country's capital account.
Kim Eng Securities head of sales trading Andrew Sullivan also cited China's smooth transition of power — formally installing Xi Jinping as the new president Thursday, followed by Li Keqiang taking the post of premier Friday — which he said appears to have generated some optimism on reform.
"There's positive sentiment that the new leadership has been rubber-stamped and now progress can start," he said, adding that investors will be looking for clarity on policies going forward.

Working For Notebookcheck
Notebookcheck is looking for highly motivated editors.
As an independent freelancer, you can work wherever and whenever you want. For the most part, you only need a computer and access to the internet.
Currently Available Jobs
Editorial jobs
review-editor | proofreader | news editor | review collector |
yes | no | no | no |
English-Dutch | English-French | English-Italian | English-Portugues | English-Spanish | English-Turkish | English-Swedish | English-Russian | German-English |

Hungarian | Japanese | Romanian | Serbo-Croatian | Other languages |
yes | yes | yes | perhaps | no |
Hardware Editor
Test laptops and write comprehensive reviews in the typical Notebookcheck style.
Applicants must be located in the United States for English reviews. Persons with professional journalistic experience are favored. Perfect English and linguistic skills are required. Therefore, we prefer native English speakers. Furthermore, you should have a deep interest in laptop-related topics and be confident with the technical terminology involved. Being absolutely reliable is a must for the job.
Editors without a rich background experience with laptop reviews will start editing news or other articles. If or when the editor proves to be reliable and skilled, the first review order will follow in due time.
There exists a fixed payment for standard reviews based on the number of characters. A bonus will be applied if reviews can be completed within a specified time span. A typical review will average 250-400 Euro/350-500 USD. The best and most reliable editors will receive more revenue in due time.
Curriculum vitae, references, and a description of why you want the job. An attached sample review is highly encouraged.
News Editor
There are short articles on notebook-related topics in our daily news section. The task is to search for notebook and tablet news on the web, create original articles, and implement them in our CMS. Editors must spend at least a few hours per week searching for and writing articles.
Reliability is the most wanted virtue. Perfect English or German knowledge (native speakers preferred) and linguistic capabilities are preferred. An interest in notebook-related topics and a knowledge of technical terms are also important.
The payment depends on the amount and extent of the articles.
Before our reviews are published in other languages, they are typically proofread to ensure readability and translation quality. Bad grammar, typos, awkward stylistic phrases, boring paragraphs, and lost meanings - anything that may have been lost in translation must be identified and corrected.
Reliability is the most wanted virtue. Technical or linguistic qualities are also necessary. Preferably, you should be an English native. Otherwise, you should have lived some years in an Anglo-Saxon country.
A predefined amount is paid per letter. Good proofreaders are better paid, in course of time.
Curriculum vitae, references, a description why you are apt for the job.
A Notebookcheck translator gets orders by email. He or she will translate reviews and other articles at home and then put the translated content in our Typo3 CMS. Deadlines do not exist. It should, however, not take weeks to translate one review.
Logically, this system applies only to language sections, which we already maintain. If you want to translate to Polish or Russian, we will refer you to the licensees who maintain these language sections.
The use of automatic translation software is prohibited, even as a support tool.
We pay translators a pre-determined rate per source word. Contact us for the current price-per-word for a specific language.
Curriculum vitae, references, a description of why you are apt, and a sample review/text (optional).
Review collector
Periodically, predefined magazines are to be investigated. Data like date, headline, verdict, and rating must be recorded in a text file. The text file is mailed to Notebookcheck. Currently, no review collectors for reviews in the English language are needed.
A predefined value is paid for each delivered review.
User reports and other technical articles
As a freelancer and author for technical articles, you are to provide user reports or experiences with your own laptop or notebook, which you may borrow from friends, shop owners, or manufacturers.
In addition, you may deliver news or other useful articles to Notebookcheck upon our request. If the user reports fulfill minimum requirements such as length, linguistic quality, photo quality, and technical competence, then they may be published on the starting page and in the review section of Notebookcheck.
A new language section is established and maintained autonomously by a licensee. Notebookcheck will host the language section and provide technical assistance, layout, and a part of the content. Both sides get a share of the earnings.
Reliability is most important. Furthermore, economical, editorial, and hardware experience are needed. A concrete business concept is appreciated. Also, a background in human resources (like in existing companies) is favored.
Send us a curriculum vitae, references and business plan. A business plan should contain a concrete strategy how to organize and finance a license section. Such project scheduling requires some experience. The business plan should demonstrate that.
Please use this form for your application.

Tonight we have the second game of a back to back. We beat down the Hawks last night, and nothing would feel better than to beat them one more time and get out of the cellar in the Southeast Division and leave that spot to the Hawks.
Theres no word yet on whether Felton, May or Primoz "The Slovenian Butterfly" Brezec will return tonight.
On a side note a did some snooping on a Hawks Forum this morning and those guys are seriously pissed about the loss last night.

Thanks to everyone who took part in our Halloween Giveaway and tweeted their contributions to our Friday ghost story. I think we would all agree that there were some very amusing tweets throughout the day.
Here's the full spooky story with the winning tweets…
"Deep within the darkest woods lived an old lady. Everyone was scared of her, but no one knew why…It seemed like she had always been there. Generations of kids had dared one another to trick or treat her, the kids would knock at the door, shaking in their boots but never did she answer until one night…
The door creaked open as thunder rolled long and loud from above. Their faces paled and mouths opened in preparation to yell "Trick or Treat" but their voices were muted by the vision of a gnarly hand extended towards them, grasping a bowl of what looked like fingernails and frogs legs.
The children looked at each other in horror. The old lady leant towards them and with a shriek yelled "TRICK"!
Before any of them had chance to move she bent over and grabbed hold of the broom standing by the door. Leaping on she launched herself into the night sky, shrieking and taking with her all of the sweets the children had collected so far.
"Typical" said one. "Mum will never believe we haven't eaten them all."
Congrats to all our winners, who have been contacted on Twitter.
@manda39 @mclarengurl @melspur @munchkim @mummy_v @kjaybaby1 @anybunnies @lifechooser
As all of your tweets were so good, we've decided to reward you all. If you go to the Clothing at Tesco site, you can get 50% of all Halloween costumes! Remember that Monday is the last day you can order to get your goodies in time…Happy Halloween!

This is an great script!
The title should be changed to better reflect the script. No one can really tell what this is when searching for it ...
After doing a search in Google or other search engine, it will highlight your search keywords on subsequent pages. It also features a cool movable AJAX-esque floating tool bar that lists out the search terms, lets you bring to focus the next or previous appearance of that keyword, and change the words to highlight.
This is a great script!
What would be nice though, is to be able to turn on the highlighting the same way we turn it off (instead of having to reload the page) and to be able to drag the preferences box anywhere we want on the page.
First, This is a great script!
now I can finally move completely from Firefox to Chrome
As the former reviewer mentioned it would be great if I could turn it on and off without reloading the page

Shirtless Poet Has Composed the Only Fight Song the OKC Thunder Will Ever Need
Just as Michael Shannon has shown the world the impact of dramatically performing impassioned sorority decrees, a California man known only as Matthias recently elevated the craft of grimly intoning all-original NBA fight songs. Oklahoma City fans, your soundtrack:
Thunder enthusiasts are already considered some of the best supporters in basketball due to their noise-generating faculties. Perhaps an injection of Matthias' brooding, cryptic and structurally accessible songwriting is all that's needed to propel the home team to heretofore unrealized postseason success. (Having Matthias stand shirtless outside the visitors' locker room would provide an edge, too.)

The Jannu 2 Person Tent by Hilleberg. The Jannu is Hilleberg's strongest, ultra-lightweight dome tent model, and is in some respects the ultralight version of the Tarra, but with only one entrance. At the same time, it is very much its own creature. For while it is an Ultralight tent, it is nonetheless ideal for harsh, high altitude use, and both exposed and/or above tree line terrain and protected conditions in all seasons and all weathers. Its compact footprint shines in limited-space sites, such as knife-edge ridges and small ledges, and it is very stable, even in high winds. Yet it is also easily light enough for use on long distance trips where low weight is a high priority. The Jannu's single entrance and vestibule favor lighter weight over absolute comfort, and its dome design gives it exceptional static strength for handling snow loading. As a result, it is a fine choice both for base camp situations, and for mobile adventures, where you pitch your tent every day.
The Jannu was designed to be the ultimate, high-altitude mountaineering assault tent. Yet it is still easily light enough for weekend hikes in the hills. Thus, while the Jannu's strength and light weight has made it the tent of choice for alpine mountaineers, its excellent snow-loading resistance have made it extremely popular with winter campers, hunters, and high altitude trekkers. Its light weight and self-supporting structure have also attracted many long distance backpackers and paddle tourers. And, since it is quite strong and spacious yet also very light, solo adventurers expecting the harshest conditions favor the Jannu, as well.
FEATURES of the Hilleberg Jannu 2 Person Tent
- Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles with multiple crossing points make for an exceptionally lightweight yet stable tent with excellent snow-load handling capability
- Multiple guy lines on the tent and the vent cover afford even greater stability. Many of the guy line attachment loops on the tent are designed to be wrapped around poles or pole crossing points for maximum support
- The Jannu has room for two occupants and their gear
- A single entrance and vestibule afford easy access and plenty of storage space, but keep the weight very low
- The entrance itself is asymmetric, and allows you to enter and exit from either side or from the end, so you can nearly always get in and out in the lee of the wind

What would Einstein think if he knew Don Surber was repeating hearsay from U.K. tabloid reporter David Rose regarding the opinion of climatologist Ed Hawkins - as appears to be the case?
Climatologist Ed Hawkin's "direct testimony" is that climate models have been quite accurate - per Hawkin's posts at the U.K.'s National Center for Atmospheric Science.
Surber cites physicists and warming-skeptics Ivar Giaever and Freeman Dyson. Neither Giaever nor Dyson has published peer-reviewed scientific research on climate change for decades, and Dyson is employed by the Heartland Institute, a Koch-funded climate disinformation organ.
Judith Curry, also cited, was an investigator for the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature study co-funded by the Koch Foundation. You may recall that BEST's principle author, Robert Muller, concluded global warming was real, and almost entirely the result of human activity.
Petro-propaganda concerns aside, incomplete knowledge isn't an excuse for inaction on climate.
As Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research."
Our society is evolving away from traditional fuel sources, per investment bank CitiGroup's recent 88-page report, "Shale & renewables: a symbiotic relationship."
Hopefully this will happen in time to beat the climatic "tipping point" - but you're not helping, Don.

i'm a sewing beginner, and i want to find some good sewing pattern, is there anyone can provide good patterns for me? | |||
The best place is your local quilt shop. If you are just starting, paper piece small wall hangings go together fast and helps with other projects later. You didn't say whether it was quilting or general sewing. Both have free patterns on the web. Martha Stewart has some patterns too. | ||||
Thanks for your suggestion, that's useful. | ||||
