Description This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Applicaton No. 60/244,529, filed 31 Oct. 2000. This invention is directed to a loop component of a hook and loop fastener, and a method for making the loop component. A number of fastening systems, such as diaper fastening systems, incorporate a hook and loop system for easy fastening and release. The hook component typically includes a flat plastic sheet laminate with a number of protruding hooks that engage with a loop component having a number of loops protruding from a second flat plastic sheet. Various types of loop components can be made in a number of different ways. Methods for making loop components typically entail a number of steps in order to stabilize the loop component both during and after production. For example, methods involving creped loop materials and mechanically necked stretched materials require extra process steps to stabilize the web. Furthermore, softness of the loop component is sometimes sacrificed in order to improve a manufacturing process for making the loop component. There is a need or desire for a loop component of a hook and loop fastener that can be made efficiently and retain its softness. The present invention is directed to a loop component of a hook and loop fastener made of a thermally retracted material. The loop component is made by applying heat to one side of a thermally retractable web, thereby causing the material to retract. More specifically, the fibers are heated, drawn and then quenched in a drawn state, such that the fibers tend to retract. The retraction allows a second side of the web to gather into loops. Added stability is achieved on the heated side of the thermally retracted material by thermally bonding the fibers together. For example, an S-weave bond pattern spunbond web can be passed under a hot air knife with sufficient heat to allow the material to retract. A vacuum applied to a forming wire during the process is then controlled, thereby allowing the web to move in the direction of retraction. A resulting loop component maintains the softness of the thermally retractable web and is retracted in a cross direction. With the foregoing in mind, it is a feature and advantage of the invention to provide a loop component of a hook and loop fastener that is efficient to manufacture and maintains the softness of the raw material. It is another feature and advantage of the invention to provide an efficient method of making a loop component of a hook and loop fastener. FIG. 1 is a side view of a hook component and a loop component prior to engagement with one another; FIG. 2 is a side view of a loop component; FIG. 3 is a plan view of apparatus for making a loop component; FIG. 4 is a plan view of apparatus, including a zoned hot air knife, for making a loop component; and FIG. 5 is a top view of a loop component having an S-weave bond pattern. Within the context of this specification, each term or phrase below will include the following meaning or meanings. �Cross direction� refers to the width direction of a fabric, generally perpendicular to the direction in which it is or was produced. �Machine direction� refers to the length direction of a fabric, in the direction in which it is or was produced. �Polymers� include, but are not limited to, homopolymers, copolymers, such as for example, block, graft, random and alternating copolymers, terpolymers, etc. and blends and modifications thereof. Furthermore, unless otherwise specifically limited, the term �polymer� shall include all possible geometrical configurations of the material. These configurations include, but are not limited to isotactic, syndiotactic and atactic symmetries. �Releasably attached,��releasably engaged� and variations thereof refer to two elements being connected or connectable such that the elements tend to remain connected absent a separation force applied to one or both of the elements, and the elements being capable of separation without substantial permanent deformation or rupture. The required separation force is typically beyond that encountered while wearing the absorbent garment. �Thermally retractable� refers to a material that retracts, or draws back, when exposed to a certain threshold of heat. These terms may be defined with additional language in the remaining portions of the specification. The present invention is directed to a loop component of a hook and loop fastener and a method of making the loop component. The loop component is made of a thermally retractable material. This loop component is particularly suitable for use in fastening systems on disposable absorbent articles. Examples of such suitable articles include diapers, training pants, feminine hygiene products, incontinence products, other personal care or health care garments, including medical garments, or the like. As shown in FIG. 1, a hook component 20 and a loop component 22 can be brought together to be releasably attached, or releasably engaged, to one another. The hook component 20 has a number of individual hooks 24 protruding generally perpendicularly from a resilient hook backing material 26. Similarly, the loop component 22 has a number of individual loops 28 protruding generally perpendicularly from a resilient loop material 30. The individual hooks 24 and the individual loops 28, when brought into contact with one another, engage with one another, with the hooks 24 latching onto the loops 28, until forcibly separated, thereby pulling the hooks 24 out of the loops 28. A number of different hook components 20 are suitable for use with the loop component 22 of the present invention. One example of a suitable hook component 20 is available from Velcro, U.S.A., of Manchester, N.H., under the trade designation HTH-851. Other suitable hook components 20 are also available from Velcro, U.S.A. Individual hooks 24 typically have a base portion that extends roughly perpendicularly from the hook backing material 26 and a free end extending from the base portion that is curved or angled to enable engagement with a corresponding loop 28 on the loop component 22. The hooks 24 are typically co-formed with the hook backing material 26. Suitable hook components 20 generally have between about 16 and about 620 hooks per square centimeter, or between about 124 and about 388 hooks per square centimeter, or between about 155 and about 310 hooks per square centimeter. The hooks 24 suitably have a height of from about 0.00254 centimeter (cm) to about 0.19 cm, or from about 0.0381 cm to about 0.0762 cm. The hooks are suitably molded or extruded from a thermoplastic polymer selected from polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins (e.g. polypropylene or polyethylene) or another suitable material. Likewise, the hook backing material 26 can be made of any of these or any other suitable materials. The hook backing material 26 generally has a thickness in a range of between about 0.5 millimeter (mm) and about 5 mm, suitably in a range of between about 0.8 mm and 3 mm, with a basis weight in a range of from about 20 grams per square meter to about 70 grams per square meter. The loop component 22 of the present invention is essentially one layer of a thermally retractable, fibrous material, shown in FIG. 2. Alternatively, a multilayer, thermally retractable, fibrous material can be used to form the loop component 22 of the present invention. Fibers of the material form loops 28 on a first side 32 of the material and are thermally bonded on a second side 34 of the material, thereby stabilizing the fibers and creating a relatively smooth surface on the second side 34 of the material. The fibers are continuous between the first side 32 and the second side 34, such that a single fiber can form multiple loops 28 and each of the loops 28 are separated from one another by thermally bonded portions 36 of the fiber on the second side 34 of the material. The loops 28 are not necessarily of a uniform height, but preferably have a height in a range of from about 0.00254 cm to about 0.19 cm, or from about 0.0381 cm to about 0.0762 cm. The loop backing 30 includes the bonded portions 36 of the fibrous material and is, therefore, the thickness of the thermally bonded fibers on the second side 34 of the material. Thus, the loop backing 30 is suitably no thicker than about 0.04 cm, more suitably no thicker than about 0.01 cm, even more suitably no thicker than about 0.0025 cm. The loop backing 30 should have a thickness of at least about 0.000254 cm, suitably at least about 0.000381 cm. The density of the loops 28 on the loop component 22 is largely dependent on the type of thermally retractable, fibrous material used, and can range from about 16 to about 620 loops per square centimeter, or from about 124 to about 388 loops per square centimeter, or from about 155 to about 310 loops per square centimeter. As mentioned, the loop component 22 of the present invention is made of a thermally retractable, fibrous material. The material is suitably a nonwoven web in the form of a bonded carded web, a spunbonded web, or a meltblown web. As mentioned, the material can also be a multilayer material with, for example, at least one layer of a meltblown web and at least one layer of a spunbonded web, or any other suitable combination of nonwoven webs. The multiple layers of the multilayer material are suitably thermally bonded to one another, and can differ from one another in terms of resin, denier, basis weight, or other material characteristics or combinations thereof. The nonwoven web, or webs, is suitably a polymer or combination of polymers, such as polyolefins, polyesters, polyamides, and elastomeric thermoplastic polymers. Examples of suitable polyolefins include polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, ethylene copolymers, propylene copolymers, and butene copolymers. Suitable elastomeric thermoplastic polymers for the material of the present invention include those made from block copolymers such as polyurethanes, copolyether esters, polyamide polyether block copolymers, polyester block amide copolymers, ethylene vinyl acetates (EVA), block copolymers having the general formula A-B-A′ or A-B like copoly(styrene/ethylene-butylene), styrene-poly (ethylene-propylene)-styrene, styrene-poly(ethylene-butylene)-styrene, (polystyrene/poly(ethylene-butylene)/polystyrene, poly(styrene/ethylenebutylene/styrene) and the like. Commercial examples of suitable elastomeric copolymers are, for example, those known as KRATON� materials which are available from Shell Chemical Company of Houston, Tex. KRATON� block copolymers are available in several different formulations, a number of which are identified in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,663,220, 4,323,534, 4,834,738, 5,093,422 and 5,304,599, hereby incorporated by reference. Other exemplary elastomeric materials which may be used include polyurethane elastomeric materials such as, for example, those available under the trademark ESTANE� from B. F. Goodrich & Co. or MORTHANE� from Morton Thiokol Corp., polyester elastomeric materials such as, for example, those available under the trade designation HYTREL� from E. I. DuPont De Nemours & Company of Wilmington, Del., and those known as ARNITEL�, formerly available from Akzo Plastics of Arnhem, Holland and now available from DSM of Sittard, Holland. The loop component 22 can be produced by applying heat to the second side 34 of the thermally retractable, fibrous material, as illustrated by the apparatuses 38 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The heat can be applied using a device 40 such as a hot air knife, infrared heat, a floatation oven, or any other suitable means. As used herein, the term �hot air knife� refers to a device through which a stream of heated air under pressure can be emitted and directed. With such a device, it is also possible to control the air flow of the resultant jet of heated air. A conventional hot air knife is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,567,796 issued Feb. 04, 1986, hereby incorporated by reference. A zoned hot air knife, in which the hot air can be applied to spaced apart zones, is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,066,221 issued May 23, 2000, hereby incorporated by reference. The apparatus 38 in FIG. 3 shows heat being applied continuously over an entire width of the thermally retractable, fibrous material. The apparatus 38 in FIG. 4 shows the hot air knife 40 applying heat in spaced apart zones over the width of the thermally retractable, fibrous material, thereby resulting in a loop component 22 have spaced apart zones of loops 28 interspersed between zones free of loops 28. The heat is hot enough to cause the second (exposed) side 34 of the material to retract and to cause the fibers on the second side 34 of the material to bond together or at least become thermally stabilized. More specifically, the temperature of the heat is within �5� C. of a melting point of the material. When using the hot air knife 40, the material passes beneath the hot air knife 40 at a line speed in a range of about 100-3000 feet per minute, more commonly about 500-2500 feet per minute, desirably about 1000-2000 feet per minute. Generally, the air velocity from the hot air knife 40 is about 1,000-25,000 feet per minute, preferably about 5,000-20,000 feet per minute, more preferably about 8,000-15,000 feet per minute. The material is drawn in the heated state and quenched in the drawn state, thereby causing the material to retract. Typically, when exposed to the heat of the hot air knife, the material tends to retract in the cross direction. However, the material can retract in any suitable direction. The cross direction is indicated by an arrow 48, and the machine direction is indicated by an arrow 50 in FIGS. 3 and 4. The amount of retraction should be about 10% to about 40% of the starting material length and/or width, suitably about 15% to about 35% of the starting material length and/or width, most suitably about 20% to about 30% of the starting material length and/or width. When the material retracts, fibers on the first side 32 of the material are gathered, thus forming loops 28. Desirably, the nonwoven material has a pre-existing inter-fiber bond pattern, such as a thermal bond pattern in a spunbond web. One example of a suitable bond pattern 42 is an S-weave, as illustrated in FIG. 5. Another suitable interfiber bond pattern includes delta bonding. The advantage of having a pre-existing interfiber bond pattern is to better define the spacing and dimensions of the loops 28, which tend to appear between the bonded regions. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the material can be held on a forming wire 44 with a vacuum 46 while heat is applied to the second side 34 of the material. The vacuum 46 can be controlled, i.e., turned up, down or off, to allow the heated material to move in a direction of retraction. The forming wire 44 can be altered by forming a pattern on a surface of the forming wire 44 with grooves, apertures, indentations, or the like, such that when the heat is applied to the second side 34 of the material, only the portions of the material in contact with the patterned forming wire 44 are thermally retracted. Using a patterned forming wire 44 results in a patterned loop component 22. A bond pattern, such as the S-weave bond pattern 42 shown in FIG. 5, can be applied to the material during the thermal bonding process. The S-weave bond pattern 42 and other suitable bond patterns are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,964,742 issued 12 Oct. 1999, hereby incorporated by reference. Desirably, about 10 to 25% of the spunbond web is bonded with the S-weave pattern. The loop component 22 of the present invention maintains the softness of the raw material on the first side 32 of the material. The loop component 22 is made of at least one layer of material, without any mechanical stretching and without the use of adhesives or any other type of bonding mechanism other than heat. Thus, the method of the invention is a highly efficient, highly economical way to make a functional loop component 22. It will be appreciated that details of the foregoing embodiments, given for purposes of illustration, are not to be construed as limiting the scope of this invention. Although only a few exemplary embodiments of this invention have been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiments without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention, which is defined in the following claims and all equivalents thereto. Further, it is recognized that many embodiments may be conceived that do not achieve all of the advantages of some embodiments, particularly of the preferred embodiments, yet the absence of a particular advantage shall not be construed to necessarily mean that such an embodiment is outside the scope of the present invention.

While I was playing Cargo Bridge 2, I earned badge I've already earned on September 28.
Weird, eh? The badge is stuck in a time loop. :O Is it just popping up or am I also getting points for it?
you don't seem to be earning points (from looking at your points earned)
I think I've seen this happen to me before, but it's just a little hiccup, you don't get the points twice.
Probably the badge API triggers when 60 coins are saved, then if you fall below 60 and save that amount it again it triggers the API once more. But you don't get the points again just the window flips over to show the achievement.

Who knew the U.S. had a tipping expert, not to mention a "foremost" one? But so it does, and waitstaff across the nation will rest easier now that mobile gratuities app developer Ziptip, Inc. has announced the addition of Wm. Michael Lynn, Cornell University Burton M. Sack Professor in Food and Beverage Management, to its Advisory Board.
"I believe there is a need for the kind of direct consumer-to-worker, electronic payment of tips that Ziptip enables," said Lynn. "Thus, I am happy to be a part of bringing Ziptip to service workers and consumers around the world."
Ziptip was created in 2011 (and patented in 2012) to solve that awkward issue of paying and receiving tips and gratuity. Fewer people are carrying cash today and paying by credit card can also be an issue when tipping doormen, concierges, staff in fancy restaurant restrooms and the like.
Ziptip permits those whom it titles "Tippers" to pay up instantly by using their smartphone to scan a "Tippee's" business card, T-shirt or anything else displaying his or her unique medallion image, including Facebook — which would be less weird than scanning your yard guy's sweaty T-shirt. Or other imaginable scenarios.
Tippees sign up at Ziptip.net; Tippers download free apps for iPhone and Android phones. Both Tippees and Tippers link to their PayPal accounts to send and receive payments. The Ziptip service currently is available in more than 20 countries.

64 CommentsOff My Mind: Does Needing Help Make a Superhero Less Cool?
by Tony 'G-Man' Guerrero on
"I get by with a little a little help from my friends."
These characters have trained themselves so much or simply have such great abilities that they can go out there alone and get the job done. They may have to take a few punches once in a while but at the end of the day, they are victorious over the villains.
RazzaTazz brought up the topic of characters needing help. Specifically she mentioned when Nightwing was defeated by Blockbuster (in issue #93). He could have been killed if he didn't get help from someone else.
What happens when those really cool loner villains can't get the job done alone. Some of them take on sidekicks. Others join teams of super-powered individuals. Sometimes it's a matter of upgrading their arsenal to include armor or other high tech gadgets to make things easier for them. When this happens, when these awesome heroes need help, does that make them a little bit less cool?
Whether you like him or are tired of him, Batman is the hero that can kick everyone's ass. The common belief is that, with a little prep time, he can defeat anyone. Yet it was one year after his debut that he took on Robin, a kid from the circus, to become his sidekick. Sure, he felt bad for little Dick Grayson having lost his parents but did he really need to turn him into his crimefighting partner? It never really seemed that Batman needed Robin until after the death of Jason Todd. Tim Drake came up with the notion that Batman did, in fact, need a Robin. When Darkseid sent Batman back in time, at the end of the journey, Bruce discovered that he did need others. He accepted that he couldn't and didn't have to go on his mission against evil alone. Is Batman no longer capable of fighting on his own?
What about Wolverine? He's supposed to be the best there is at what he does. How many female sidekicks has he had? Whether it's Kitty Pryde, Jubilee, Armor or even X-23, it seems Wolverine can't stand to be alone. He might be trying to be a father figure to them but his fights usually get pretty bloody and violent. It's not exactly the best place to take an impressionable youth. What about all the teams he's currently on? He's on the X-Men, X-Force and Avengers. What is it that he's best at these days? It could be an evolution of his character but a big part of Wolverine's character has been his lone samurai persona. It looked like he couldn't be tamed enough to be part of the X-Men and now he's part of the team's heart and soul.
What about Hercules? He's the Prince of Power, son of Zeus, the Lion of Olympus. How many times has he recently been saved or assisted by Amadeus Cho? Sure Amadeus is one of the smartest people in the Marvel Universe but he's still a kid...and Hercules is a demigod. What does it say that he's had to rely on a kid for so many of his battles?
Who else is there? Spider-Man used to be a loner and now is hanging out with the Avengers and Future Foundation. Punisher was a one-man army but had to rely on Microchip many times. Superman has even received help from Jimmy Olsen, the guy who needed a signal watch and to be saved himself so many times.
There's nothing wrong with asking for help. No one can do it all alone. But what happens to that badass character that needs help? Do they lose some of their cool points or does it strengthen their character and make them a little more human?

American Water Declares Quarterly Dividend
American Water Works Company, Inc. (NYSE: AWK) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.25 per share. In addition, the Board approved accelerating the payment date to Dec. 28, 2012, to take advantage of the existing 2012 tax rates. The regular quarterly cash dividend, which has historically been paid in March, is now payable on Dec. 28, 2012 to all shareholders of record as of Dec. 20, 2012.
"As always, we are pleased to consistently declare a quarterly dividend," said Jeff Sterba, president and CEO of American Water. "We were also pleased that the Board made the decision to accelerate the payment due to the uncertainty over the tax rates that will be in effect in 2013. American Water has supported the extension of both the dividend tax rate and the capital gains tax rate because we know that it will have a real impact on our investors. This accelerated payment reflects our commitment to do what is under our control for the benefit of our stockholders."
American Water offers a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan called American Water Stock Direct, which enables stockholders to reinvest cash dividends and purchase additional American Water common shares without any brokerage commissions or service charges. Stockholders and other persons may obtain a copy of the Plan prospectus and an enrollment form by contacting American Stock Transfer & Trust Company ("AST") at (888) 556-0423, visiting AST's website at www.amstock.com, contacting American Water's Investor Relations at 877-310-7174 or by visiting the Investor Relations page at www.amwater.com.
American Water is a supporter of Defend My Dividend, a national grassroots advocacy campaign with the mission of retaining the current dividend tax rate. Without action by Congress, the tax rates on dividends and capital gains are set to increase on Jan. 1, 2013. More information is available on the Investor Relations page at www.amwater.com, or by visiting www.defendmydividend.org.

awesome guide on how to play kat... I voted +1 for your guide..!!
Junior Member
I'm new to this but... everyone seems to suggest kage's lucky pick for the gold... but it costs 765 total to get. it gives you 5 gold per 10 seconds - so that's an extra 5x6=30 gold per minute. but it'll take you at least 765/30 = 25 minutes just to make up the gold you originally spent on it. So... what's the point? why not go for a rylai's right away? is the extra 25 ap boost or so really worth it?
Senior Member
i just played my first time kat and got 12/0/1 and i built regrowth kages lucky pick tabi rylais gunblade then the game ended i probably would have bought warmogs then deathfire
im a pro katarina player :3 Shunpo build is the way to go. and you want to get mid. the faster you get your ultimate. the faster you get kills ALWAYS start with boots and 2 pots. next you buy mehjai's and once you start gnaking you build up your stacks of ap
Can we get an update to this please? None of the guides for Kat are even semi-current :/
Malkav Cobalt
Not current to updated items and Katarina champion. Please mark as outdated, thank you. Do not take the advice shown here. Check www.mobafire.com for decent up to date Katarina builds and guides.
Ionic Breeze
Yeah this is outdated, written in 2009
Much of the above guide and build is based on 2009 gameplay for katarina. After the character adjustments the build has definitely changed so as to increase her damage as a assassin and ganker character. many posts suggest the Lichbane build up which really does not help this character as she does not need mana... why waste precious gold on something which we dont use... righT? Hence i suggest the following build which has really helped me get very many kills in the small number of games: 1) Shoes and three health pots: great for lane-ing or going mid. allows u to save up till around 1200g + 650g for 2) hextech revolver: 20% spell vamp plus damage from AP ( 40 ap) for magic penetration or if u prefer boots of mobility(ganker) 3) giants belt: the health allows u to tower dive and shunpo on to low health heroz 4) complete rylia sceptre : extremely important with the view of health, ap and slowing enemies when u use ur ulti. hence stopping them from running away... 5) here its a bit confusing.. U can either complete ur hextech gunblade or rabadons deathcap 6) watever u did not buy in the 5th buy it now! 7) if the game gets to this point u can either buy 2 more gunblades to stack up the spellvamp.. or 2 rabadons.. Or u can buy a Zhonyas hourglass for the supersticky moment if and when u get stunned in a team fight(the 2 sec of no damage is a GIFT)
Can you activate Zhonya's when stunned?

-Dave, September 2013
Debuting in 1977 at $199 it brought gaming into the family household in a big way. I remember getting a used Atari 2600 from an ad my parents found in the paper (200 Bucks was a lot to spend on electronics back then!). I think it came with a couple cartridges - Missile Command (still my favorite 2600 game of which I still play now on Xbox Live), Dragracing, and Shootout.
My parents felt they were buying us a new and exciting piece of technology - something to get their boys away from all that television and be a little more interactive. My brother and I thought we had found a wondrous cauldron of infinite possibility, and it still didn't get us away from that TV. The hours we spent playing those games got both of us interested in technology, and ultimately the computers that were to come after. Perhaps our parents were smarter than we thought. =)
Here's to you Mr. 2600! You can still bring a smile to my face after all these years.

Singler, Singleton impress at LeBron camp
July, 12, 2010
Fran Fraschilla | ESPN Insider
Bob Donnan/US PresswireSingler may have trouble guarding his position in the NBA, but his talent level isn't in question.
Barely a week after the 2010 NBA draft, college basketball's top returning players took part in the LeBron James Skills Academy as counselors to the top high school players participating in the camp. And, while Lebron's impending announcement of his new team hung over the camp like a cloud, the college guys were more focused on impressing the bevy of NBA scouts there to watch them work out.While the job of an NBA scouting is a continuous one over a 12-month period, the camp unofficially begins next season's evaluation cycle. All of the college players at the camp are destined for outstanding seasons, but here are a few of the recognizable names who really impressed me:

Parise's equalizer, shootout goal leads Wild past Leafs
By Jess Myers, The Sports Xchange
Wild 2 Maple Leafs 1
St. Paul, MN -- Patience was as important a weapon as offense for the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday.
Trailing and frustrated by Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathan Bernier for much of the game, the Wild got a pair of goals from winger Zach Parise to eke out a win. Parise scored in regulation and in a shootout as the Wild rallied for a 2-1 victory.

The Pontiac Fiero wis a mid-engined sports caur that wis built bi the Pontiac division o General Motors frae 1984 tae 1988. The Fiero—meaning "proud" in Italian an "wild", "fierce", or "ferocious" in Spainyie—wis designed bi Hulki Aldikacti as a Pontiac sports caur. The Fiero wis the first twa-seater Pontiac since the 1926 tae 1938 coupes, an also the first mass-produced mid-engine sports caur bi a U.S. manufacturer. Mony technologies incorporated in the Fiero design such as plastic body panels wur radical for its time. Alternative names considered for the caur wur Sprint, P3000, Pegasus, Fiamma, Sunfire, an Firebird XP. The Fiero 2M4 (2-seat, Mid-engine, 4-cylinder) wis on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1984. The 1984 Fiero wis the Official Pace Caur o the Indianapolis 500 for 1984, beatin oot the new 1984 Chevrolet Corvette for the honor.
370,168 Fieros wur produced over the relatively short production run o 5 years; bi comparison, 163,000 Toyota MR2s wur sold in its first 5 years. At the time, its reputation suffered frae criticisms over performance, reliability an safety issues. Today however, compared tae less adventurous attempts at twa-seaters such as the Ford EXP, the unique style o the Fiero compared tae ither American caurs haes left it a cult followin as a collectible caur. It remains a popular chassis for rebodies an even electric conversions.

Excellent for eldelry bed-ridden person. Soothing ointment for sore skiin
this cream has been a miracle for chronic pressure sores from being in a wheelchair ,being an obese 52year old man wheelchair bound .it has stopped the bleeding and pain and protects against infection replaces endoderms and skin ripping tape and skin prep..
My son has super sensitive skin and I can only use 7th Generation wipes or Babyganics wipes on him. So when it came to time to find a diaper rash cream that didn't bother him, I tried this first because I loved how well it worked for my older son. Thankfully, this worked great on my sensitive son as well. Not only was it gentle enough but it really worked. Happy baby = Happy mommy :)
I'm a busy mom of 5. And diaper rash is the last thing that I have time to play with. I tried this product after trying everything else even RX meds nothing would work on my daughters sensitive skin so, I said I've spent money on everything else I might as well try this. OMG it was a life saver it cleared up the rash after one use and it was completely gone after two days. So now if I see a rash coming I reach for it and it does the trick well worth it plus it comes with a 1.00 off coupon inside the box. My only regret is that I didn't know about this product four babies ago. stop wastin money and purchase the last diaper rash ointment you'll ever want to buy. A little goes A LONG way. So only use a little it's very thick but it speads easily and it coats the skin so it leaves a protective barrier. I hopes this helps.
After my surgery, I have tried many ointment produces, even some of the most expensive one in the market, with no significant improvement. Then I bought this A and D ointment because my friend S.R. recommended it and their family use it for generation. Upon trying it and it does what it said in the product description, after few days of using it, my butt wound starting to heal, how do I know that? Because it doesn't hurt as much any more. I believe this may have to do with the first-aid additive within the ointment itself.

We are rough, all of us, and have lost

we do not cause friction, or love.
By now, we burn cigarettes on the arms

I saw people dancing in the street,
the beat of their feet, their hollering,
humanskin drumskins, the bonfire bones --
they were drunk on blood.
O Babylon, you have made
monsters of all of us.

happy is the one who repays you

I never think in terms of what should be where. BLFS will always fill in any gaps to producing a well rounded system, dependant on the users very own definition of well rounded. While we may never get that fulfilled, the least we can do is give the users things we know will be important to them whether they know it or not. In this instance, I have not been able to produce a boot disk from our current instructions. The "/dev" directory is too vague and the cop out is to install all (which does not fit), and if it really, really needs devfs, than we need a 'kernel building section' and outside reading material for devfs, because this is the users first exposure to it. Then we need to be assertive that having a boot disk is important enough to learn these additional areas. Bill, I haven't had time to read you hint yet, nor do I have time to fix the current write-up, but it will be addressed. If there are any more suggestions, attatch to this thread, then if someone take them and rolls them in, fine, otherwise, I will get to it as soon as I can.

Stellar First-Half Propels Utah State Women Over UT Arlington Thursday
Jan. 24, 2013 ARLINGTON, Texas - With a 93-83 win over UT Arlington Thursday at the College Park Center in Arlington, the Utah State women's basketball team tied its season-high with its third-straight win. With the victory the Aggies are nearing the .500 mark with a 9-10 overall record and a 6-2 Western Athletic Conference mark. The win was only the third of the season on the road. UT Arlington has now lost seven-straight games, falling to 3-15 overall and 1-7 in league games. Senior guard Devyn Christensen had her second-straight 20-point game with 21 points to go along with seven assists. She also matched her career-high with six steals. Sophomore forward Franny Vaaulu scored 18 points and brought down seven rebounds. Senior guard Jenna Johnson scored 16 points, while junior guard Jennifer Schlott added 10. The Aggies ended the game with nine different players scoring at least one point. UT Arlington had five players score in double figures led by 15 points from both Aron Garcia and Desherra Nwanguma. Both had double-doubles with 10 and 13 rebounds, respectively. Laila Suleiman scored 14 points, 11 of which came from the charity stripe. Utah State scored the first seven points of the game, leading to an early Maverick timeout. UT Arlington recovered nicely scoring the next six to cut the lead to 7-6. After briefly tying the game, USU jumped out to a 20-11 lead with help from six points from Johnson. The Aggies took their first 10-point lead of the game after a behind-the-back pass from Christensen found sophomore guard Elise Nelson. Freshman guard Makenlee Williams, who is second in the WAC in three-point field goal percentage, made her first two treys to push the lead to 30-17 with 8:07 left in the half. Utah State continued to have balanced scoring the remainder of the first half with eight of the nine players that had played finding the basket. The Mavericks went 3:15 seconds without scoring until a Garcia jumper with 1:19 left in the half cut the score to 43-25. USU took as big a lead as 20 points in the first half, entering the locker room with a 47-27 advantage. In the first half, Utah State was led by 12 points from Johnson who also added five boards and two steals. Christensen scored eight points, while Schlott and Vaaulu both had six first-half points. The Aggies out-scored the Mavericks 25-18 in points in the paint and had eight fast-break points. UT Arlington's Nwanguma had a double-double in the first half with 11 points and 10 boards. Garcia added eight points and four boards in the first 20 minutes. USU won the battle of the boards in the first half, 22-21. In the second half, UTA scored six-straight points to cut the Aggie lead to 62-46 with 11:46 left in the game before a pair of free throws by Nelson put USU back up 64-46. The Mavericks' leading scorer, Nwanguma, fouled out of the game with 9:16 left, making UTA vulnerable. Senior guard Pualei Furtado scored five-straight points for USU to up the lead to 69-50 with under nine remaining. The loss of Nwanguma seemed to only bring the Mavericks together as the comeback began. What once was as big a lead as 22 points in the second half, was whittled away slowly by UTA. UT Arlington continued to fight cutting the lead to 71-60 after a Kiara Parker lay up with under eight left. A pair of free throws by Suleiman got the lead under 10, 73-64 with under seven remaining. USU turned on the gas increasing its lead to 80-69 after a layup by Nelson. With both teams in the bonus, free throw shooting became a major factor with the Mavericks displaying strong shooting from the charity stripe. UTA got as close a three points, 81-78, with 2:20 left. USU went back up by nine with under a minute left after back-to-back threes by Christensen. The Aggies made six free throws in the final minute of the game to seal the victory, 93-83. For the game Utah State was 29-of-60 from the field good for 48.3 percent which was its second highest this season. The Aggies went 6-of-18 from three for 33.3 percent. USU was once again solid from the free throw line, making 29-of-35 for (82.9 percent). The Mavericks were 30-of-73 from the field, which was good for 41.1 percent. UTA was 3-of-9 from three (33.3 percent) and 20-of-26 from the charity stripe (76.9 percent). Utah State concludes the brief two-game road trip, traveling to Ruston, La., to take on Louisiana Tech on Saturday, Jan. 26 at 6 p.m. (MT).

Aloysius: You are toooo funny, man. That's a great solution, but I doubt it will do much to promote relationship-al harmony!
All I can say is "don't argue". Take her shooting. That cures it most of the time.
If she won't go shooting with you, you are dealing with a closed mind and you need to make some decisions about the course of your life.
My current wife (No. 2) was mildly anti until I got her to go shooting and hunting. She's not a rabid 2A now, but she has no problem with weapons anymore, at all. And I've got more than I can count.
My first wife was pretty anti, but open-minded enough to try shooting, and liked it, which changed her to a mild anti, although my weapons gave her the heebie-jeebies until we split.
As an aside of questionable relevance, her upbringing and mother (with whom I really....uh...."clashed") had a lot to do with it. They were big-city people in a family where the women tended to dominate the relationships for many generations back. I....uh...."wasn't", to put it mildly.

So I've been doing my research - and from what I've gathered - the boot.img is too large, or there are corrupt blocks in the boot partition. However - what I've tested thus far makes me think this is not the case. I am able to install 5.3 just fine. I have built 5.4 and was to start testing it myself when I came upon this error. It IS a fresh pull from CM which brought in a few fixes. However - I do not use any part of their boot stuff, as you know I create my own kernels. I have taken the 5.3 zipfile that installs, and put the 5.4 boot image in it, and it installs just fine. This is what leads me to believe that it's not the boot.img itself. I've also seen a few posts that blamed the recovery (I'm using RZR 2.0.3). However - again, my test should rule this out. updater_binary is the same between 5.3/5.4, so it's not that. Sooooo - I know a few of you have faced this. Did you ever get it resolved?
Chevy, winner00 in the cm section has the same issue and was trying to figure it out. Maybe he could be of some help to you. Sent from my Droid using DroidForums
Thanks Nicole I'll check that out - been beating my head against the wall on this for some time today ...
Stupid question I know but, are you putting this in a "update script" or "updater script." Lol nevermind I just reread your post where you say "updater_binary" haha. What's the exact syntax you have in there because it should be something like: write_raw_image BOOT:boot.img
Interesting, I to have gotten this error the last two roms i tried to flash & im using clockwork recovery, I was begining to wonder/worry if it was my phone or sd card...
Too many bad partition blocks maybe? I have never had this issue but I wish I would so I could try to figure it out.
Glad you figured it out! I'm having a similar problem and was wondering if you could post here to help myself and the others who come across this forum looking for the answer. Much appreciated!

text: Hey all! I've had my Indiana LTCH for about a month now, and have some conflicting information that I hope somebody can clarify. I have been told that Makarov rounds, which are 9x18 (and .380 ACP rounds, which is 9x17 Kurz) don't pack the power to properly mushroom a hollow point round and shouldn't be used. My problem is that I'd hate to fire a FMJ at a bad guy and have the bloody thing go though and through into my neighbors house or something. Your thoughts?

Free Kick, Then Booted
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 18 2014 5:00AM
During a recent soccer match in England, the teams from West Ham and Tottenham were lined up in preparation for a free kick.
While they stood there, a fan – being chased by a security guard – scooted in front of the lined up players and took the kick.
It looks like the goalie was able to block it – it would have been embarrassing if he hadn't – while the players just nonchalantly watched the whole thing happen.
The fan kept going, as did the security guard.
You can bet when they caught up with him, the guards red-carded his butt right out of the stadium.

Re: Danish Delight - Caroline Wozniacki thread - vol 6
WTA is doing it for themselves, not for Caro. Still trying to squeeze out some clicks from what has remained from her name.
No wonder Adidas bosses are not amused, this kind of losses are now very frequent. I think that Caro might be freaking out as well although she doesn't show it. I don't know what on earth are they doing but these results show that they have not backtracked and gone back to her old game at all. The old game would not lead to such disasters,no way. She would not give Suarez-Navarro any cheap errors and would use her opportunities.
I agree that she needs to do something about her focus and fast. She still has become a player that other want to have in their draw now. She's looking as someone who has lost her way and confidence. Hopefully she'll find it. She can look at Ana as an example of where loss of focus can lead...

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Does anyone know what typeface this is?
The original design is from Ben Pieratt, but I don't have a dribbble account yet. Here's the original page. http://www.dribbble.com/shots/21105-Now-Serving-Final

You're probably right about Trade Gothic: what's different is that a stroke has been added. Notice the counters on the S, and the rounding at the top of the K.
I don't think that this is the typeface in question, but there is a Trade Gothic rounded version available…
That explains why it looks so chunky.
Thanks guys...

While Rihanna Is Away, Chris Brown + Karrueche Tran Will Play
Chris Brown is celebrating his birthday without Rihanna ... and with Karrueche Tran. We bet this will end well!
Chris Brown is celebrating his birthday without Rihanna ... and with Karrueche Tran. We bet this will end well!
Chris Brown will turn 23 on May 5 -- but he's getting his party on a little early, celebrating at Hollywood's Emerson Theater tonight (May 3). Wanna go to the fete? All you need is one crisp benjamin.
Chris Brown will turn 24 on May 5 and his on-off boo Rihanna reportedly gifted him with quite a pricy present – a Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss that's swaggier than a set of Bieber wheels.
Maybe Chris Brown's father was right about his relationship with Rihanna. The tumultuous twosome have more drama, unsurprisingly involving Drake and social networking. Hey, they're nothing if not consistent, right?
R&B crooner Chris Brown has reignited his love affair with Rihanna and his father is not too happy about it.
By now you know that Chris Brown is back in the spotlight promoting his forthcoming album 'X.' His first single, 'Fine China,' shows the 23-year-old is making a return to his early R&B roots on the upcoming project.
Chris Brown and Rihanna break up and get back together every six minutes, which is to be expected from a healthy relationship based on mutual respect and the occasional assault.
The on-again-off-again couple are back on -- for now -- as evidenced by Rihanna's prolific Instagram account.
Now that Chris Brown and Rihanna are off again, RiRi has taken to addressing the couple's most recent split the only way these two crazy kids know how... in the most public fashion possible.
Drake has been slapped with a lawsuit by Chris Brown's bodyguard, who claims he was left severely injured during a New York nightclub brawl the rapper was involved in last June.
Oh Lord. Literally!

A Celebration of Love
As you might guess from the fact that I'm posting about the weekend on Thursday, I continue to be quite busy. This coming weekend, I'm looking forward to a bit of gardening (helping with it, anyways). I did the work of renting a Zipcar to haul home some dirt for a raised bed this morning.
