House of the Dead is a 2003 film adaptation of the successful 1996 light gun arcade game of the same name produced by Sega. The film was directed by Uwe Boll. This film featured Erica Durance in one of her earliest roles before she became known for playing Lois Lane on Smallville.
The film begins with two college kids named Simon (Tyron Leitso) and Greg (Will Sanderson) who are going to take a boat to an island where there is a rave going on. They meet up with three girls: Alicia (Ona Grauer), Karma (Enuka Okuma) and Cynthia (Sonya Salomaa). Karma has a crush on Simon, Simon has a crush on Alicia, and Cynthia is Greg's girlfriend. When the five arrive at the dock, they find that they are late and the boat that is supposed to take them to the island has already left. They get a ride on a boat with a man named Victor Kirk (Jürgen Prochnow) and his first mate Salish (Clint Howard). A cop named Jordan Casper (Ellie Cornell) tries to stop them from leaving, being that Kirk is a smuggler, but they leave anyway.
They soon arrive at the island, but the site of the rave is completely deserted. The place is a complete mess. Alicia, Karma and Simon leave the site to go find anybody around while Cynthia and Greg stay behind. Greg and Cynthia are about to make out in a tent, but Greg leaves the tent to urinate. Alone in the tent Cynthia is killed by a group of zombies. Meanwhile, Alicia, Karma and Simon find an old house. Inside the house they find Rudy (Jonathan Cherry), Liberty (Kira Clavell) and Hugh (Michael Eklund) who tell them that zombies attacked the rave, killing everyone. Alicia and Rudy used to date and Liberty was a dancer at the rave. The six leave the house to go get Greg and Cynthia. Meanwhile, the zombies kill Salish when he is alone in the forest.
Alicia, Rudy, Karma, Simon, Liberty and Hugh return to the rave site and find Greg. Cynthia comes out from behind the tree, but she is now a zombie. She kills Hugh but is killed when Casper arrives and shoots her. They form a plan to return to Kirk's boat and leave the island. When they return to the beach they find only zombies on Kirk's boat. Casper and Greg leave the group to go find help, but Greg is killed in the forest. Kirk later takes the group to a spot in the forest where he has hidden a box full of guns. Once everyone is armed, they decide to head back to the house. The front of the house is filled with zombies. Liberty and Casper are killed in the ensuing fight and Alicia, Rudy, Kirk, Karma and Simon manage to take shelter inside the house.
When Kirk is alone, he hears Salish whistling outside of the house. He goes outside and sees Salish as a zombie. Kirk commits suicide with a stick of dynamite, also blowing up the entrance to the house. The remaining four lock themselves in a lab in the house, but the zombies break in. Karma finds a hatch in the floor. She, Alicia and Rudy go down into the hatch and Simon shoots a barrel of gun powder blowing up the house, a lot of zombies, and himself. Alicia, Rudy and Karma find themselves in underground tunnels. They make their way through the tunnels, but Karma is killed by zombies as she attempts to hold them off as Rudy and Alicia flee.
Alicia and Rudy are captured by an evil Spaniard named Castillo who injected himself with immortality serum many years ago and created the first zombie. Alicia and Rudy escape the tunnels, blowing them up in the process, but are followed by Castillo. Alicia gets into a sword fight with Castillo, and he stabs her in the heart. Rudy manages to decapitate Castillo and thinks the fight is over. Castillo is in fact still alive and his headless body begins to strangle Rudy. Alicia who is barely alive gets up and crushes the head under her foot which finally kills him. She then dies. Rudy and Alicia are rescued by a team of agents. The agents ask for Rudy's last name, to which he responds with "Curien". The ending narration reveals that Rudy gave Alicia the immortality serum and that is why she is alive. The film ends with the two survivors returning home.

The film was panned by the critics and Rotten Tomatoes ranked the film 41st in the 100 worst reviewed films of the 2000s, with a rating of 4% based on 54 reviews and the site's consensus stating "A grungy, disjointed, mostly brainless mess of a film, House of the Dead is nonetheless loaded with unintentional laughs." IGN Movies, however, gave it three out of five stars, citing it as "an unabashed B-movie that does an incredibly decent job with a limited budget, unknown cast, and routine storyline."[2] In 2009, Time listed the film on their list of top ten worst video games movies.[3]
Director's cut[edit]
A director's cut of the film was released on DVD on 9 September 2008. The new version "features new dialogue, alternative takes, pop up commentary and animation from the original video game."[4]

Spire makes power supplies? We didn't realize this until recently, so we were more than happy to give one a run on our test bench. This is obviously a product with gamers in mind thanks to its SLi support. But wait… why only one PCI-E connector?
It's that time again boys and girls. Review time.
We at the Techgage labs have on the table today, the Spire RockeTeer V ' SLI Series SP-500W power supply. We have taken a look at a few Spire products in the past but this is our first power supply from them. We have also taken a look at many power supplies from other companies, so I am anxious to see how the latest offering from Spire stacks up with the rest.
I have long stressed to friends and strangers alike the importance of a quality power supply. The power supply is a strong foundation for anyone to build their PC on. I know that anyone that builds their own PC primarily builds around a processor or a video card and in most cases, both. The power supply is often over looked by many who use the included PSU in whatever case they decide to buy. Now there is nothing wrong in using a provided power supply but when you factor in all that a faulty PSU can take with it should it decide to die, ponying up the extra cash for a quality power supply doesn't really seem all that bad. Can said quality be found in this power supply from Spire? Can it hang with my humble SLI system?
Spire is not new to the computing world. Starting out in 1991, Spire has focused on computer cooling but has recently branched out into case and power supply manufacturing. They also manufacture external hard drive enclosures and fans as well. Being as diversified as Spire is, can they deliver a quality power supply when they all ready have so much on their plate to worry about? Let's find out.
Much like every other product from Spire that I have seen, the packaging is almost identical to the VertiCool II that I reviewed last week. The box is obviously larger, but has the same color scheme and characteristics. If it ain't broke…
Not much to it there. From the packaging, I have gathered that there are two fans on the power supply, different from the previous couple power supplies that I have evaluated. I am curious though, about how much of a difference this will make in sound produced.
Once opened, the SP-500W comes wrapped in bubble wrap to provide further protection from any shipping mishaps. You can also see the accessories that Spire included. These extras include zip ties, some colored ties that I would venture one could use for distinguishing between the cables, some screws for mounting and the ever necessary power cord. Also included were a manual and the cables.
The cables come in their own box and appear to be plenty. Let's take a look at what cables are provided.
As you can see in the last picture, there is a native 24 pin power connector but like most other power supplies, it allows you to remove the last 4 pins should you still use a 20 pin ATX motherboard. There is also an 8 pin power connector for Intel machines but can be separated into 2 separate 4 pin connectors for AMD systems. I like this approach and would like to see more companies adopt it in the future.

We are avid outdoorsman fishing, hunting, backpacking camping everything. We love enjoying friends and family.
Susan Patton purchased this bungalow in 2010
The Tennessee River Gorge has always been our dream since it has everything. Mountains, water fun and gorgeous views.
The quietness and serenity of being close to the water are amazing. Going down our road you can see a few goats, wild turkeys, many deer, and chickens. The drive goes through a beautiful Prentice Cooper wildlife management area and is wonderful forest.
We've stayed here before..and loved it! We always feel so relaxed and welcome.Such a great cozy place to unwind and have fun.The hosts are amazing and never disappoint! It us very clean and comfortable... the owners see to your every need.We relaxed on the water...had picnics outside, and enjoyed campfires.This is going to be an every year thing! Definately 5 stars for us!!
This is a nice & clean getaway. The scenery is amazing! Very quiet & relaxing. Good fishing! The only thing I would suggest is that there is more of a variety with the breakfast. We stayed a week & we had biscuits everyday & I was quite sick of them. Lol. Other than that, I was impressed!!
I stayed at the loft to celebrate my birthday with a couple of my girlfriends. The loft was cozy, breakfast was good, and the scenery was gorgeous. Waking up to see the sunrise and watching the mist rise from the water was just beautiful. My friends and I really enjoyed canoeing, the bonfire, and stargazing. I will definitely be visiting again :)
As long as you don't mind the long drive in, the Loft is quite the getaway. It is perfect for a weekend in, away from the hustle and bustle of life. Susan couldn't have been a better host. Breakfast was excellent, delivered right to the door. The lake view (especially in the fall) was breathtaking. Any issues we had were quickly resolved by Susan; she was a joy to work with.
The loft is a cozy, well decorated, clean & overall great place to get away from it all. Its longer drive in, is just the place we needed to escape for a couple days. Its true you need to plan ahead for groceries and such so you don't have to leave this little nest once you get there. The owners were truly angels.. Very sweet, made us coffee & the breakfast delivered is such an added plus. I got spoiled while we were there. Ms Susan is a great cook. I loved the breakfast feature. If your looking for a place to get away and just relax, this is it. We will be back to our new found adventure in Chattanooga.. & we cant wait for the new room with a view to open up soon.. Will love that direct view of the Lake & beautiful long pier. Fall would be a super leaf show from this area too.. especially water reflections from the leave.. cant wait... see you soon Susan and Jerry. thank you dearly.
The Hoadleys
What more can be said about The Loft if you've read the other reviews! The drive in was one of the kid's favorite part, a scenic roller coaster. Fishing, hiking to the climbing wall, preset fire in the rock fire pit, and available canoe, the Loft has it all. Roomy, clean, and comfortable accommodations. the hand made, hand delivered breakfast was amazing! My wife went on a 5 mile run the first morning and raved about the scenery and fresh air, and the great workout the hills provided. The hosts provide every possible convenience needed for a relaxing time in the mountains of Chattanooga. Don't waste your money on an overpriced hotel with a bad continental breakfast. Make plans to spend one day around the property to unwind before seeing all the local attraction Chattanooga has to offer just over the mountain, and around the corner. A steal at twice the price!
My husband and I booked a little vacation here with our daughter for a nice little vacation. The loft is very comfortable and pretty spacious. There was plenty of room to set up our pack-n-play for our daughter and it wasn't in the way of anything so we didn't have to worry about accidently bumping into it while she slept. Mrs. Susan was super nice and did everything she could to make our stay pleasant. She brought a really nice breakfast to us every morning with brochures on things to do in the area. The road to get to the loft is really long but it's definitely worth the drive. When you get to look outside every morning and see waterfalls flowing down the mountain and beautiful scenery, it's definitely worth it! We definitely plan on going back to the area in a few years when our daughter is older and we'll definitely be staying here again!

KAREN ARMSTRONG: I learned a vicious form of rhetoric from my religious superiors. and also, from my teachers at Oxford. You know? And people used to say to me, "I would really hate to be your enemy," because I have this very sharp tongue that I knew how to use it. And I get in first before someone put me down. That kind of thing.
I found that, in my studies I had to practice, what I found called in a footnote the "science of compassion." There was a phrase coined by great Islamist, Louis Massignon. Science, not in the sense of physics or chemistry but in the sense of knowledge, scientia, the Latin word for knowledge.
And Latin--the knowledge acquired by compassion. Feeling with the other. Putting yourself in the position of the other. And this footnote said that a religious historian, like myself, must not approach the spiritualities of the past from the vantage point of post enlightenment rationalism. You mustn't look on this in a superior way and look at the author of "The Cloud of Unknowing," a 14th century text as, poor soul. You know?
And you had to recreate in a scholarly fashion, all the circumstances which had resulted in this spirituality or this teaching and not leave it, or certainly not write about it, until you can imagine yourself putting yourself in that position. Imagine yourself feeling the same. So when I wrote about Muhammad, for example, I had to put myself in the position of a man living in the hell of seventh century Arabia, who sincerely believed he had been touched by God.
And unless I did that, I would miss Muhammad. I had to put clever Karen, edgy Oxford educated Karen on the back burner. And go out of myself and enter into the mind of the other. And I found, much to my astonishment, it started changing me. I couldn't any longer be quite as vicious as I was or dismissive as I was in the kind of clever conversations-
BILL MOYERS: Why? This is the first time I've heard of a born again experience beginning with a footnote. Was it your imagination that said, "I have to see this world the way Muhammad saw it and experienced it?"
KAREN ARMSTRONG: I said that this footnote is right. If I go on writing, as I had been doing up to this point for saying, "This is all rubbish." You know, I know it all. These poor benighted souls in the past didn't know what they were talking about. I was not fulfilling my job as a historian.
It was my job to go in and recreate it, enter into that spirit. Leave myself behind and enter into the mind and society and outlook of the other. It's a form of what the Greeks called ekstasis. Ecstasy. That doesn't mean you go into a trance or have a vision. It means-- ekstasis means standing outside yourself. Putting yourself behind. And it is self, it's ego that hold us back from what we call God.

The other day I got sucker punched by flavor. Yup, right square in the kisser.
And, as a result, I'd like this time to make a little PSA so you can do your best to avoid this happening to you or a loved one.
Allow me to give you some background, yes? After a four hour flight delay and a really long day of work, I landed in Northern California totally ravenous. As in, I needed food ASAP or I'd quickly become horribly hangry.
So, my friend and I pulled into a to-be-unnamed chain restaurant (which happens to rhyme with "scrapple knees"), which, if you know me at all, you know means I was really at my absolute last straw. I ordered the jalapeño-lime shrimp in hopes it'd come as quickly as possible so I wouldn't go postal on my dear friend who had picked me up at the airport at the crack of 12:30AM.
What arrived was indeed shrimp but it was so overly flavored with some nondescript spice mix that I got steam rolled by seasoning. So much so I pretty much couldn't finish it for fear I'd have a flavor war in my mouth for the rest of the night. But, to be fair, the problem is not that it happened, because, just like bad weather and flight delays, crappy food happens, you know?
The problem was that I had just taken a photo of this Herbed Chicken Salad with Mango-Mustard Dressing earlier that day but didn't have the wherewithal to pack it with me for my flight. So, as I see it, it was my sort of culinary karma for thinking I'd actually find something to eat at LAX. Or when I landed in the middle of the night.
The moral of this story is such: don't be like me and do make this Herbed Chicken Saladg. And, if you think about it for the holiday ahead, and end up with leftovers but, pay it forward and give it to a friend whose traveling. Please do your part so they don't have to experience getting sucker punched by flavor.

More than 60 students of Nalanda Law College at Borivali recorded a statement against the college for duping them by not reserving their first year law seats for which they had paid Rs 22,000 to Rs 44,000 in the offline admission process. The Borivali police will file a case against the college on Wednesday.
Students go for offline admission
According to the students, they took offline admission in Nalanda Law College around the month of May. As per their complaint, they filled an admission form provided by the college for the first year of a law degree course which was of three years.
Paid seats allotted to other students
Apeksha Kadam (name changed) one of the students who was duped, said, "I paid Rs 22,000 for the admission of first year of the law degree course. The lady at the admission forms' counter gave me an acknowledgment slip and said that the receipt will be given later. When the online admission process of the University of Mumbai started, the college didn't reserve our seats for which we paid and gave our seats away to other students who had applied for admission online."
Student paid half of actual fees
Echoing the sentiments of Kadam, Sheela Desai (name changed), another aggrieved student said, "I paid half of the actual fees for the first year admission when submitting the offline admission form to the college as per their instructions. I was shocked when I went later to the college to submit the online form and they said that I have missed the admission, although I had already paid offline before online admissions started to secure my seat."
Borivali Police:
Arvind Mahabdi, assistant commissioner of police, Borivali division, said, "We are taking down the statements of all the aggrieved students and tomorrow (Wednesday) we will call the college staff and management officials to record their statements. By Wednesday, we will probably file a forgery and cheating case."
Ajay Salunkhe, Trustee of Nalanda College, said, "We will file a case against the employee of our college who kept us in the dark and did not intimate that she has taken offline admissions and also collected money from students. She has been working with us since the past 14 years and is a civil engineer looking after the maintenance of our college. We are trying to talk to the University and also the bar council of India to allow us to increase one division that will help us accommodate all students who have been given offline admission."

Disney, Pixar deal on horizon?
CNN/Money - 10/13/05
Full Story - Disney, Pixar deal on horizon?Disney, Pixar deal on horizon?
Speculation emerges after Apple, Disney collaborate on sale of ABC programs on new video iPod.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A television distribution deal between Apple Computer Inc. and Walt Disney Co. that brought together CEOs Steve Jobs and Bob Iger has stoked expectations that a separate agreement between Disney and Jobs's Pixar Animation Studios Inc. is at hand.
Pixar shares rose as much as 3.7 percent Wednesday, rebounding from a sell-off in the media sector, after Iger and Jobs appeared on stage together to announce that Disney unit ABC would sell TV programs through Apple's (Research) iTunes Web site for viewing on computers and its new video iPod device.
"I know these guys," Jobs joked just before Iger strode on stage to join him at the Apple event. Iger, the new technology-focused chief of Disney, and Jobs both called it a watershed event bringing TV to the Web and said they expected more cooperation between their companies.
Their appearance also led many to guess that a new deal was in store between Pixar, which Jobs also heads, and Disney, that would extend their partnership for Disney to continue marketing and distributing Pixar's lucrative animated films.
A Disney spokeswoman had no comment on Pixar.
Jobs also declined Wednesday to comment on Pixar-Disney talks. But he did say: "I've enjoyed working with Disney for about 20 years now ... I've gotten to know Disney's CEO Bob Iger really well over the last few months."

Managing cybersecurity by breaking down silos
Wednesday - 10/27/2010, 6:09pm EDT
By Vyomika Jairam
Federal News Radio
Cybersecurity is something that everybody at every agency is or should be thinking about, even people who aren't necessarily in IT. So what are some of the specific elements they're focusing on?
According to Pat Clawson, Chairman and CEO of Lumension, one of the most dramatic trends right now in cybersecurity is Advanced Persistent Threat (APT); an organized, consistent, structured set of attacks.
"The Advanced Persistent Threat is one that is very difficult to deal with, it doesn't go away, they are patient, they take their time. We can see it come, we know it's coming, and we don't really have the ability to stop it," Clawson. "So one of the things we see evolving from all this is a more direct requirement for whitelisting technologies, things that really only allow the known in."
Essentially, because the attacks are constant and evolving, and the technology itself is custom created, there is an increased necessity for security that acts as a moat. With whitelisting technologies, companies can cordon off the most sensitive elements of their network, and know that attackers can ATP all they want and not get in, Clawson said.
But cyber threats are not location or computer specific, and guarding against threats that attack on a larger infrastructure scale needs to be looked at more closely, Clawson said, and more information sharing needs to take place to guard against those threats more effectively. In many ways, various industries work in silos to handle their own protection, and Clawson believes the dealing with threats would be better served by sharing information, especially when the attacks could be from a single source.
So how do you bring bring down silos? And perhaps more importantly, who can bring down the silos? General Keith Alexander, the commander of U.S. Cyber Command? Or Howard Schmidt, Cybersecurity Coordinator for the Obama administration? Or someone else entirely?
If given the tools, Clawson believes that Schmidt could be in a position to effect change.
"If they give him a budget, if they give him the ability to create and follow through on policy so that people would actually adhere to it, that would be a much much more powerful position," Clawson said. "In lieu of that, one of the greatest things Howard can get done is education."
The average American needs to understand that there is a problem, and then further work on bridging the private sector/public sector information gap, Clawson said.
"Maybe it's an independent body that is created, somehow or another a think tank has got to be put on this and they have to figure out how to bridge that gap," Clawson.
A balance has to be struck to ensure that private companies are not violating laws by sharing data, that the data is shared equally, and that the nation is effectively securing itself.
"That's the million dollar question, figuring that piece out," Clawson said.

A teen's belligerence led to her arrest for disorderly conduct, obstructing an officer and carrying a concealed weapon at Mayfair - even though the store employees who suspected her of stealing had been ready to let her go.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
Employees of Pac Sun in Mayfair, 2500 N. Mayfair Road, caught the 16-year-old girl taking a pair of jeans from the store at 7:18 p.m. Nov. 10. The store didn't want to have her arrested, but they did want their property back. Wanting her to return her items and leave, they called mall security.
When the security guard asked her if she had taken anything else, the girl became belligerent and police were called. She told officers the guard had "been rude to her."
The officers found a stolen belt, panties and jewelry in the girl's purse, as well as a set of spiked brass knuckles.
After finding the weapon, the officers decided to arrest her. She then gave police her wrong name and date of birth.
She was arrested for disorderly conduct, obstructing an officer and carrying a concealed weapon.

Accusing Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal of betraying their trust, auto drivers in Delhi launched a poster campaign against him on March 14.
More than a hundred autorickshaws carrying posters against Kejriwal were lined up in the grounds of Ambedkar Bhawan near Jhandewalan.
The drivers associated with Nyayabhoomi, an NGO working for the welfare of auto drivers, claimed that during its 49 days rule, AAP government did not do anything for the benefit of auto drivers.
On posters pasted on the back of their autos, they listed the promises that Kejriwal made before the Delhi Assembly elections but failed to fulfill, such as arrest of auto finance mafia, creation of thousands of auto stands, rationalization of auto fare, bank loan facilities, easing of permit conditions, etc.
"Kejriwal used auto drivers and exploited them emotionally but did not deliver anything other than speeches and promises to them," said Shailendra Sharma, an auto driver who claims to be closely associated with Kejriwal during the campaigning for Delhi assembly elections.
"We feel cheated. Mr. Kejriwal lied to us when he addressed a rally of auto drivers in Burari on February 7 by claiming that our autos will not be impounded on small excuses. The fact is that the autos continue to be impounded and auto drivers are paying fines in excess of Rs.10,000," asserted Satish Saluja, another auto driver.
Raising slogans against Kejriwal and AAP, auto drivers vowed that they will not let him dupe the people of this nation.
"We will be distributing lakhs of pamphlets to Delhi's auto drivers exposing the true face of Kejriwal and fix posters on every autorickshaw in the city in the coming days," said Rakesh Agarwal, secretary, Nyayabhoomi.
Forty drivers were formed into eight teams which fanned out across Delhi to affix these posters on autos.
"We will fix these posters on every other autorickshaw within the next 10 days in Delhi," stated Agarwal.

Fantasy Sluts Strip Show
by admin
How to turn fantasy into reality. This is how I did it. I met several Asian girls on free live sex cams. I took them for a private show…only $1/minute. I got 5 girls to agree to meet me all together when I went to Philippines. I arrived in Angeles City, and met the girls in Sunset Garden Inn. Janice (20), Lilibeth (18), Maribel (19), Janeth (21) and Kate (22). I got them all to strip off and bend over in a line on the side of the bed. I went up and down the line taking turns in fucking all 5…it was awesome! Why not try it yourself? If you are a bit of a Filipina lover like me you will be in Asian pussy heaven here.

Undefeated IBF middleweight champion King Arthur Abraham has advised Edison Miranda to seek psychological help following his latest verbal outburst. He must still be traumatised by our first meeting, King Arthur (25-0, 20 KOs) said. I kicked his butt even though I had my jaw broken twice. That must have done something to his heart and brain. If Miranda wants to speak to someone about his mental problems, then he should go and see a psychiatrist.
Miranda publicly demanded a rematch with Abraham even though he had turned down an offer from Sauerland last summer. I cannot understand Miranda´s remarks at all, Sauerland managing director Chris Meyer said. Last summer, when Arthur had to make his mandatory defence, we offered Miranda a rematch. But he turned down and moved up to super middleweight instead..
Wilfried Sauerland also laughed off Miranda´s latest antics. Arthur is the best middleweight in the world, the manager stated. He will fight anybody anywhere.

Shortly after the release of his fifth album, Killa Season, in 2006 and his 2007 war of words with 50 Cent, Cam'ron suddenly disappeared from the spotlight, prompting numerous "Where's Cam'ron?" jokes from hip-hop fans nationwide. Well, Booth-heads, I hope you've gotten your laughs in ahead of time, because Killa Cam is back with a brand-new official single whose video has already picked up considerable buzz. Struggling through the hassles of the 9-to-5 lifestyle, Cam goes through numerous interviews in Harlem only to be turned down because of his prior criminal history – after going back to hustling on the block, his complaint remains the same: I Hate My Job. Produced by Skitzo House (of FreNYC), I Hate My Job is the perfect song to play while driving between a crummy job and the interviews for a better one. Cam'ron's sixth album, Crime Pays, will be released on April 21 off Diplomat/Asylum.

Football: AT IT AGAIN; Spurs fury as Chelsea accused of 'tapping' Arnesen in new row.
THE controversy surrounding Chelsea's conduct escalated yesterday following claims of an illegal approach for Tottenham sporting director Frank Arnesen.
Spurs have suspended Arnesen and are considering what action to take after claiming their London neighbours made an approach 'in direct breach of FAPL rules', while Chelsea insist their advances were official.
Chelsea, the Barclays Premiership champions, were fined earlier this week and given a suspended three-point deduction for their role in an illegal meeting with Arsenal full-back Ashley Cole.
The points deduction will be activated if a similar offence occurs in the next season, although rule K3 which they were punished for applies to 'contract players' and Arnesen is a sporting director.
The Premier League are yet to receive a complaint from Spurs officials about the alleged approach to Arnesen.
'We have not received an official complaint,' said Premier League spokesman Dan Johnson. 'We wait to see the action Tottenham wish to pursue.'
Action is now being considered by Spurs' legal team, following Arnesen telling officials he wishes to move to Chelsea.
A statement on the Spurs website, www.spurs.co.uk, read: 'Chelsea Football Club has made an approach to sporting director, Frank Arnesen, in direct breach of FAPL rules.
'This approach was made both prior to requesting permission and without permission from the club. Tottenham Hotspur Football Club refused permission for any discussions to take place.
'Notwithstanding that he is subject to contract and holds wide-ranging responsibilities and commitments to all parties at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, Frank has indicated that he wishes to move to Chelsea Football Club. Accordingly, the Board of Tottenham Hotspur plc has suspended Frank Arnesen with immediate effect.
'The club is currently in discussions with its legal advisors and a further announcement will be made in due course.'
Chelsea, however, insist they made an 'official' approach for Arnesen.
The move is the latest in a number incidents involving the west London club, including the meeting with Cole, which led to a record fine, and an accidental meeting between chief executive Peter Kenyon and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand.
A Chelsea statement released to the Press Association read: 'Chelsea Ltd made an official approach to Tottenham Hotspur for permission to speak to Frank Arnesen two weeks ago.
'Chelsea Ltd has been in direct discussions with Tottenham for the last two weeks on this subject.'
Arnesen arrived at White Hart Lane last year after a successful spell with Dutch side PSV Eindhoven.
Although head coach Jacques Santini left the club three months into the season - later claiming his relationship with Arnesen was strained - Spurs appeared to be making progress under Arnesen and new boss Martin Jol Arnesen brought a raft of new signings to the club and Spurs only just missed out on qualifying for the UEFA Cup through their Premiership finish, although they will find out today if they enter the tournament through their disciplinary record when the UEFA 'fair play' draw is made.
The suspension of Arnesen has shocked Spurs fans, with Daniel Wynn of the Tottenham Supporters' Trust telling Sky Sports News: 'I'm as stunned as everyone else. It's one step forward and two back with this club at the moment.
'We'd had a much better season and there were signs of improvement.'

Hi. I had some really good idea for a WP plugin, so I decided to start developing it. One week later, I decided to develop a new website with a friend, so I had to stop the developing process of the item.
I have already done more than 30% of the item, but I need an expirienced developer to complete it since I have no time at all.
I think it is a really good idea and it can sell great.
The profits will be decided with the selected developer. (We will share the income)

Breast Enhancement Surgery

May contain graphic images.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation in Chicago, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast for a number of reasons:
To enhance the body contour of a woman.
To correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy.
To balance a difference in breast size.
As a reconstructive technique following breast surgery.
By inserting an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to increase a woman's bustline by one or more bra cup sizes. If you're considering augmentation surgery, this will give you a basic understanding of the procedure--when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect.
The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.

Types of Implants
A breast implant is a silicone shell filled with either silicone gel or a salt-water solution known as saline.
Because of concerns that there is insufficient information demonstrating the safety of silicone gel-filled breast implants, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that new gel-filled implants, at the present time, should be available only to women participating in approved studies. Some women requiring replacement of the implants may also be eligible to participate in the study.
Saline-filled implants continue to be available to breast augmentation patients on an unrestricted basis, pending further FDA review. You should ask your doctor more about the specifics of the FDA decisions.
The breast implant may also be inserted under the chest wall muscle.
The breast implant may also be inserted under the chest wall muscle.
Planning Your Surgery
In your initial consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your health and explain which surgical techniques are most appropriate for you, based on the condition of your breasts and skin tone. If your breasts are sagging, your doctor may also recommend a breast lift. Some women also choose to undergo body contouring procedures, such as tummy tuck, at the same time as breast surgery.
Be sure to discuss your expectations frankly with your surgeon. He or she should be equally frank with you, describing your alternatives and the risks and limitations of each. You may want to ask your surgeon for a copy of the manufacturer's insert that comes with the implant he or she will use -- just so you are fully informed about it. And, be sure to tell your surgeon if you smoke, and if you're taking any medications, vitamins, or other drugs.
Your surgeon should also explain the type of anesthesia to be used, the type of facility where the surgery will be performed, and the costs involved. Because most insurance companies do not consider breast augmentation to be medically necessary, carriers generally do not cover the cost of this procedure.
Preparing For Your Surgery
Your surgeon will give you instructions to prepare for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking or avoiding certain vitamins and medications.
While making preparations, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery and to help you out for a few days, if needed.
Incisions are made to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible: in the breast crease (shown above), around the nipple, or in the armpit. Breast tissue and skin is lifted to create a pocket for each implant.

Types of Anesthesia
Enhancement surgery can be performed with a twilight anesthesia, this allows for patients to avoid general anesthesia, if they wish, to reduce the risk of nausea after surgery. General anesthesia is available for those patients who wish to be completely asleep. Some surgeons may use a local anesthesia, combined with a sedative to make you drowsy, so you'll be relaxed but awake, and may feel some discomfort.
The Surgery
The method of inserting and positioning your implant will depend on your anatomy and your surgeon's recommendation. The incision can be made either in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), or in the armpit. Every effort will be made to assure that the incision is placed so resulting scars will be as inconspicuous as possible.
Working through the incision, the surgeon will lift your breast tissue and skin to create a pocket, either directly behind the breast tissue or underneath your chest wall muscle (the pectoral muscle). The implants are then centered beneath your nipples.
You'll want to discuss the pros and cons of these alternatives with your doctor before surgery to make sure you fully understand the implications of the procedure he or she recommends for you.
The surgery usually takes one to two hours to complete. Stitches are used to close the incisions, which may also be taped for greater support. A gauze bandage may be applied over your breasts to help with healing.

After Your Surgery
You're likely to feel tired and sore for a few days following your surgery, but you'll be up and around in 24 to 48 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by medication prescribed by your doctor.
Within several days, the gauze dressings, if you have them, will be removed, and you may be given a surgical bra. You should wear it as directed by your surgeon. You may also experience a burning sensation in your nipples for about two weeks, but this will subside as bruising fades.
Your stitches will come out in a week to 10 days, but the swelling in your breasts may take three to five weeks to disappear.
Getting Back to Normal
You should be able to return to work within a few days, depending on the level of activity required for your job.
Follow your surgeon's advice on when to begin exercises and normal activities. Your breasts will probably be sensitive to direct stimulation for two to three weeks, so you should avoid much physical contact. After that, breast contact is fine once your breasts are no longer sore, usually three to four weeks after surgery.
Your scars will be firm and pink for at least six weeks. Then they may remain the same size for several months, or even appear to widen. After several months, your scars will begin to fade, although they will never disappear completely.
Routine mammograms should be continued after enhancement surgery for women who are in the appropriate age group, although the mammographic technician should use a special technique to assure that you get a reliable reading, as discussed earlier.

All Surgery Carries Some Uncertainty and Risk
Implant surgery is relatively straightforward. But as with any operation, there are risks associated with surgery and specific complications associated with this procedure.
The most common problem, capsular contracture, occurs if the scar or capsule around the implant begins to tighten. This squeezing of the soft implant can cause the breast to feel hard. Capsular contracture can be treated in several ways, and sometimes requires either removal or "scoring" of the scar tissue, or perhaps removal or replacement of the implant.
As with any surgical procedure, excessive bleeding following the operation may cause some swelling and pain. If excessive bleeding continues, another operation may be needed to control the bleeding and remove the accumulated blood.
A small percentage of women develop an infection around an implant. This may occur at any time, but is most often seen within a week after surgery. In some cases, the implant may need to be removed for several months until the infection clears. A new implant can then be inserted.
Some women report that their nipples become oversensitive, undersensitive, or even numb. You may also notice small patches of numbness near your incisions. These symptoms usually disappear within time, but may be permanent in some patients.
There is no evidence that breast implants will affect fertility, pregnancy, or your ability to nurse. If, however, you have nursed a baby within the year before augmentation, you may produce milk for a few days after surgery. This may cause some discomfort, but can be treated with medication prescribed by your doctor.
Occasionally, implants may break or leak. Rupture can occur as a result of injury or even from the normal compression and movement of your breast and implant, causing the man-made shell to leak. If a saline-filled implant breaks, the implant will deflate in a few hours and the salt water will be harmlessly absorbed by the body.
If a break occurs in a gel-filled implant, however, one of two things may occur. If the shell breaks but the scar capsule around the implant does not, you may not detect any change. If the scar also breaks or tears, especially following extreme pressure, silicone gel may move into surrounding tissue. The gel may collect in the breast and cause a new scar to form around it, or it may migrate to another area of the body. There may be a change in the shape or firmness of the breast. Both types of breaks may require a second operation and replacement of the leaking implant. In some cases, it may not be possible to remove all of the silicone gel in the breast tissue if a rupture should occur.
A few women with breast implants have reported symptoms similar to diseases of the immune system, such as scleroderma and other arthritis-like conditions. These symptoms may include joint pain or swelling, fever, fatigue, or breast pain. Research has found no clear link between silicone breast implants and the symptoms of what doctors refer to as "connective-tissue disorders," but the FDA has requested further study.
While there is no evidence that breast implants cause breast cancer, they may change the way mammography is done to detect cancer. When you request a routine mammogram, be sure to go to a radiology center where technicians are experienced in the special techniques required to get a reliable x-ray of a breast with an implant. Additional views will be required. Ultrasound examinations may be of benefit in some women with implants to detect breast lumps or to evaluate the implant.
While the majority of women do not experience these complications, you should discuss each of them with your physician to make sure you understand the risks and consequences of augmentation surgery.

Hotkey Switching of Display Devices
I'm setting up my Compal HGL30 laptop for use in presentations.
It has a Geforce Go 7600, and what I'd like to do is set it up with hotkey switching, so that I can just press a key, and get the same picture on the projector. The system is now running driver version 169.12, it is a Ubuntu Hardy system. If I remember correctly, Twinview and hotkey switching used to be mutually exclusive options, but from the current documentation it seems to use TwinView.
However, the typical TwinView use case, with one big screen, is not want I want. I want to see the same thing on my screen as my audience sees on the projector, and I want to be able to turn it on without restarting X. The projector I use now has a resolution of 1024x768, so I think I'll start out with getting that to work. The documentation is a bit terse for me, has anybody got this working, and is able to share a xorg config?
Re: Hotkey Switching of Display Devices
I got a little further now, the nvidia-settings utility was actually very useful.
So, I did get a TwinView clone now, so I can show stuff on both screens.
However, this seems set the projector on permanently, i.e. I can't actually toggle it (I have to restart the X server, which is a pain). From the documentation, it sounds like what the hotkey switch does is to loop the list of modes in the metamodes. Thus I figured that if I set
Option "metamodes" "CRT: NULL, DFP: 1280x800 +0+0; CRT: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DFP: 1280x800 +0+0; CRT: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DFP: NULL"
The first mode is indeed selected:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "CRT:NULL,DFP:1280x800+0+0"
(II) PM Event received: Capability Changed
Is the toggling possible to achieve?
Re: Hotkey Switching of Display Devices
I tried this on a Dell Precision M65 with a Quadro FX 350M, with the same result, so it is not just the hardware on this one box. Any further ideas?
Re: Hotkey Switching of Display Devices
I've scrambled a little more in the blind about this, the main annoyance now is that I have to restart X.
It would be nice to just know if either of these options are true:
1) Hotkey switching does not work, restarting X is necessary.
2) Hotkey switching works with a more recent driver.
3) Hotkey switching works with 169.12, more digging is required.
Re: Hotkey Switching of Display Devices
Have you tried using an almost empty xorg.conf and xrandr?
xrandr --output vga --auto --mode 1024x768
or something like that should work fine. Put that in a nice little script which runs some combinations of parameters depending on previous xrandr-output.
Finally, make your script run on hotkey and done.
Unfortunately i dont have any secondary output devices here to try the above on my desktop-pc and my laptop does not have nvidia graphics, but i dont see why this would not work.
Re: Hotkey Switching of Display Devices
Then I found this, which seems to imply that randr 1.2 is not in the driver, and that is what I would need to have for this to work, right?
