Album Rating: 3.0Here's the next one after a little break to cover other stuff My least favorite tones record actually.
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offi was actually gonna ask you when the next one would come up, good job
Digging: Elemantra - You Feel Bad About You
Album Rating: 3.0Well there ya go haha I never really found myself enjoying this one anywhere near as much as SNW, WP, DE and KNY.
sup mongi
Album Rating: 4.5Most underrated Deftones. Better than SNW, WP, DE, and KNY.
At least in my humble opinion.
Album Rating: 3.0worst deftones
Digging: mewithoutYou - Pale Horses
Album Rating: 5.0best Tones
Album Rating: 3.0@Tommy Sup man how ya been?
And man those comments right after the other "Worst deftones/best tones" haha
Album Rating: 3.0@TMF well you think you belong here is a good song so i guess it makes sense
my two cents: this comes across as someone just learning to love what the tones can do. it's far above koi pond and maybe even DE but i love that album so i won't go there. this album tho is proabably their most mature effort however and, trust me, it takes time to really sink in.
Album Rating: 3.0i think it's kinda homogenous
Album Rating: 3.0@FTI It's been my least fav for quite a while man. The only songs I really ever come back to a lot are Minerva, Needles and Pins, Deathblow and Bloody Cape.
Album Rating: 5.0the only way this album could be better is if they put Lovers on it
dude i wasn't joking about the time thing. i just started understanding it two years ago and am falling more in love with it every time i feel like listening to deftones. one of my go-to's to be honest
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffDisagree with your opinion for the most part (especially with your thoughts on Battle-Axe, that one-note riff grooves perfectly), but solid review as usual Mongi
love this album a lot
Album Rating: 3.0This is better than Adrenaline, but still one of their weakest.
Honestly, I don't see why many people think that. This just sounds like old school Deftones to me.
Album Rating: 3.0Yeah, I guess I prefer the more experimental Deftones. Adrenaline bored me. Around the Fur was a lot better, but it didn't captivate me the same way White Pony, SNW, etc. did.
Album Rating: 3.0But this is still solid, so I still enjoy it.

Anxiety is a psychological state in which a person has an uncomfortable feeling of fear and concern. A person suffering from anxiety may also feel worried, on edge and uneasy. Feelings of dread and stress are also common. Anxiety has psychological and physiological effects on the body, and can last anywhere from moments to years.
The physical effects of anxiety are an increase heart rate, sweating, muscle weakness and a headache. Over time, anxiety may lead to fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss and heart palpitations. Some people experience stomach aches and nausea when they are anxious.
The mental effects of anxiety include a lack of motivation, lack of focus and depression. A person with chronic anxiety may stop engaging in activities which make him or her feel anxious. He or she may find it hard to sleep or relax. Some people experience panic attacks with anxiety, and others develop obsessive compulsive tendencies.
When anxiety occurs regularly, effects a person's daily life and is hard to stave off, the parson may have anxiety disorder. Formal diagnosis of this disorder is important because it allows doctors to treat the disorder more aggressively with therapy and pharmaceuticals. Therapists generally help patients get their anxiety under control by encouraging them to talk about the things that make them anxious and by giving them new ways to cope with their feelings that can help calm the anxiety. Certain drugs can hep patients deal with their anxiety in the long term by altering the chemical balance in the brain.
Almost everyone experiences some anxiety from time to time. This does not mean that they have anxiety disorder or need treatment. The best ways to calm acute anxiety include taking deep breaths, getting some exercise and meditation. Some people also find that aromatherapy and massage calms their anxiety.

Goku let him win as Goku was powerfull enough to go Super saiyan 3 at the time. Also People saying Vegeta was stronger because of babidi are wrong the magic didnt make him stronger it just made him more capable of ignoring his strength limitations. (You know the ones that stop you from using enough force to hurt your muscles) So realy he isnt stronger he just has access to more of his strength.

Goku letting Vegeta win is true, the other one you probably got from Naruto
#121 to #118 - John Cena (08/04/2013) [-]
No. Its like with your brain you only use about 20% of it. It is the same way with muscles I dont know how many percent of their capacity you actualy use but if you use over that limit it can give you serious damage to your muscles. Normaly you are limited to a safe amount however in dragonball as Babidi wants his "minions" to be as strong as possible he uses his magic to remove that limit temporarily allowing (In this case) Vegeta to go beyond his normal strength limitations.

Customer reviews
By Nicola Mansfield 26 Oct 2012
Reason for Reading: I'm always on the lookout for straight mystery/crime/thriller graphic novels. It's an area I would like to see expanded with quality work.
This gave me a bit of a vibe of that movie with Sean Connery where he is the professional cat burglar and he trains the young woman to be as good as he is. Forget the name of it but it was a remake of an older movie starring George Hamilton, I believe. Anyway, back on topic.... This novel did give me some good vibes. I liked the big group of pro criminals working on a job aka Oceans 11; I liked the action and the heists. There was certainly a James Bond feel to the Redmond character, though Redmond is a broken man now, we visualize he may have been the debonair, suave Bond type in his youth. So, on the whole I did enjoy the romp of this read. However, it did have quite a few pitfalls. The dialogue was unrealistic, people don't talk like this, even thieves. The heists were over the top and not believable outside of the realm of Hollywood. The whole premise really didn't feel likely; Redmond wanted out so badly and yet he backed himself into a corner he couldn't get out of. Not exactly smart for our supposed hero. Rather unrealistic, but nevertheless a pleasant diversion. I'm in no hurry to read the next volume, though I will look for it in the library when the time comes.

Introduction to Green Building Law
The EPA defines green building as:
[C]reating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction. This practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. Green building is also known as a sustainable or high performance building. [1]
Researchers looking at land use law issues will need to consider federal and state statutes, federal and state cases, and federal and state administrative regulations and decisions. These resources can easily be searched by researchers with access to Westlaw and/or Lexis.
More difficult to locate are the local laws which put into effect the land use plans of local governments, and the planning documents, both local and regional, which inform land use planning.

Restaurants in Manhattan
Manhattan offers a seemingly infinite number of culinary options, from food stands, famous delis, and its share of celebrity chef restaurants. (Here's a tip, leave Time Square.)
Internationally renowned restaurant, Eleven Madison Park, brings luxury and creativity to its operations. Tasting menu only dishes are minimalist, allowing the chef to work his magic to create some of the best food in the city. As one of the more popular Manhattan restaurants, be sure to reserve a table at least two months in advance. Momofuku Ko is one of the most unique restaurants in Manhattan serving a seasonal tasting menu with interesting combinations and obscure ingredients. The restaurant is very intimate with only a counter and a dozen stools. Reservations are extremely difficult to get.
Per Se is arguably one of the finest Manhattan restaurants, requiring reservations months in advance. Award winning chef, Thomas Keller, creates world-renowned dishes including tuna tartar with crème fraiche and oysters in tapioca custard. If you're looking for a reliably good meal at an affordable price head to the East Village, where you can get an incredible pizza at Little Frankie's, an artisan burger at Brindle Room or a bowl full of soul warming ramen at Momofuku Noodle bar. For dessert, there are a variety spots to meet your needs including the famous Big Gay Ice Cream. Below are more recommendations for some the best restaurants in Manhattan.
Housed in a former foodcart garage, this mostly-Korean hot spot offers a space far more expansive than most in this low-rise neighborhood.
Named for the flavor-packed crust that forms on the bottom of the paella pan, this small spot embraces Spanish culinary traditions—from the menu to the long communal tables. One tip: As good as the crispy potatoes, spicy chorizo, and other tapas look, don't fill up on them.
You'll sometimes spot a boldface name, sans entourage, sipping cappuccino and tucking into a plate of haloumi eggs at this sunny, busy Moroccan café that has been a magnet for artists, musicians, and writers since it opened in 1983.

Cells exposed to a radiation dose as low as 0.14 graysan average of two alpha particles passing through each cell nucleusgave rise to as many tumours as those exposed to higher doses.

The award ceremony was the most entertaining ceremony we have attended for a long time. We look forward to participating again next year and I will encourage children, mine and others, to do so too. - Aik-Siong, father of LAHS Challenge participant
Team: 105
School: Newcomb High
Area of Science: Newcomb High
Interim: Problem Definition: As a team we have the intelligence to not eat anything that is unhealthy because we know that it will cause something bad in our system. But mostly because on the reservation we had a lot of people that have the type one and type two diabetes in the New Mexico and also the Arizona area were the elders had the most in the type two diabetes which is the highest out of all the states. The other thing is that the young ones also are starting to get the disease because they don't take of themselves.The thing that lead us to our prediction is that we get it from our parents who also tells us the same thing about diabetes and also from the book. So as a team we found out that type two diabtes is the highest on the reservation.
The goal of project is to make sure that our percentage is accurate if it isn't accurate then there is no way that our project will have proof. Also as a team we had a lot of decisions on who will do ceratin parts for the accurate percentage of diabetes and also to stay as a team also.
Problem Solution:To solve diabetes is that the number of people who get diabetes on the reservation should be more healthier and more active on the reservation.When most people get type two diabetes they should really take care of the health and go running or walking. And go easy on anything that has fatty things, or sugar.And live a healthy lifestyle ot take medication.
Progress to Date: Well presently now, our group has done signifant research on our topic,Diabetes. Diabetes is a common disease on the reservation and mostly, our elders are the one endured the sickness. We are also learning about the computer programming, StarLogo, pertaining that we are first timers in the supercomputing challenge. But even though we are first tiers, we are doing our best to keep up with the information that is needed.
Expected Results: After researching about the diabetes in New Mexico around the reservation with the type one and type two diabetes. New Mexico had the most type two diabetes according to our line chart. The researching we had expected was that type one diabetes had the most diabetes here on the reservation. The problem with researching about typw two diabetes and type one diabetes is that we had to look at all the data on the computer and if all the pages were updated. We had decided that we should help student and also many of our community members to eat healthy food and also to prevent diabetes

'Community': Joel McHale wants an 'epic' movie after Season 6Add to Favorites | Community
"Six seasons and a movie" has become something of a catchphrase for "Community" ever since Season 3. The joke, which originally spun out of a line Abed said defending the short-lived NBC drama "The Cape," has been the fans way of asking for a longer life for the cult-favorite comedy series.
"If a movie happens -- I've been talking to [writer/producer] Chris McKenna about it, and I agree with him fully -- it should be epic," McHale says. "It should be big. In that case, we need a lot of money. I don't know how that's going to happen, but maybe I'll win the Powerball before then and we can fund it.
But now that "Community" just wrapped its fifth season, that elusive Season 6 is actually within reach. A pickup hasn't been announced yet, but "Community" has proved time and again that it's hard to kill. If Season 6 does happen, then the "and a movie" feels like a promise, and star Joel McHale says he is determined to have a "Community" film be made.
"I'm gunning for it. I want to do a movie," McHale tells Zap2it while promoting his new film "Deliver Us From Evil" at WonderCon Anaheim 2014. "There's no reason for us not to make a movie if we can, so we should."
Of course, "Community" Season 6 needs to get picked up first. "I don't know what's going on behind closed doors, believe me. I've said it every interview that I want it to go. They know how I feel about it," McHale says. "I want it to keep going because I love it. ... I hope [NBC head] Bob [Greenblatt] does it. I hope he picks it up."
McHale clearly has put some thought into the hoped-for movie. "Community" also has an arsenal of talented writers and directors who have gone on to helm big hits -- "Captan America: The Winter Soldier's" Joe and Anthony Russo, "Fast & Furious'" Justin Lin, "The Way Way Back's" Jim Rash -- who could help them craft a great feature film.
When it's suggested that "Community" could at least get a TV movie, McHale says, "No, I want it to be as big as 'Avatar.' It should be big, because we have spent the last three years indoors. The show has not gone outside. It's like we're on a space ship, we've been trapped. I want to go outside next year."
"Deliver Us From Evil" is due in theaters on July 2, 2014.

I may sound like a broken record adding to the foray but my customer service but my phone calls to the company mirror other peoples.
Tow pro has the idea...run them through an outlet like Revzilla or Motorcycle Superstore.
We are a pretty self sufficient community. All we really need is:
a) a place to order stock
b) a responsive person to contact when we have issues with the product and questions about availability that will -> provide us with actual answers to our questions and treat us like the valued customers we are.
c) a distributor that isn't going to rake us over the coals on prices and shipping charges. (Only way I'll pay the shipping charges from Canada is for a bulk order).
That's customer service 101. I'm not really sure why it's so difficult for some companies to implement that model. If it were my company I'd fire the dead weight that was responsible for creating the situations that lead to the negative press then ensure that I had a business plan in place that covers the entire breadth of product marketing, sales, and delivery.
If a company can't get it together they should hire a marketing/sales firm to do it for them and bite the bullet on paying the cost of outsourcing those services.
Revzilla is great -> reputable ->EXCELLENT customer service. As a launching platform to fill in while Mitas figures out how to organize so that it can get product to customers, Revzilla would be perfect intermediary between the customer and the tires.
The question that Mitas needs to ask itself is really basic -> Does Mitas want to sell M/C tires or don't they? If the answer is that they don't then great, all is fine because that's how things stand. If the answer to that question is that they do in fact want to sell M/C tires to the U.S. market then Mitas needs to change how the M/C line is handled.

Jacket Journey
Hi Ladies,
I've been looking for a non-PU coated, 3/4-length, female-cut textile jacket that vents well for Summer, and thought I'd let you know what I found.
A BMW Santiago, which they stopped making years ago, but Max BMW's Amazon store still has some. I believe these were originally $575, and mine was $300 on Amazon. That's for the jacket shell only, though BMW does make an optional $260 Goretex liner. I did see a few closed sales on eBay for way less than $300.
The Santiago has really long sleeve vents, 2 chest, and 2 back vents. You can supposedly wear it in 100* temps and be reasonably comfortable. On the flip side, I hear it sucks as a winter jacket unless you really layer up. I decided I wanted to use a jacket made of PrimaLoft One for a liner. Primaloft is naturally water & wind resistant, is equivalent in warmth to about a 550-fill down but with less bulk, and it retains its warmth when wet, unlike down. Cabela's has their ladies' Mackenzie Range PrimaLoft jacket on sale for $60. It has 100g of PrimaLoft One insulation.
Fit notes for both items: I'm a size 8 with fairly wide shoulders. 36A or sometimes B if I've been eating good or it's that time of the month. Santiago: I tried sizes 38 (8) and 40 (10) in it. I liked the shoulder room the best with the 40, but the rest of the jacket was just too big. I won't be able to use as many layers with the 38, but it fit a lot better from the bust downward, so I went with that one. The 40 was going to be really big on me in the Summer without a liner. If you are busty or have even slightly fleshy upper arms, I'd recommend going up a size over your normal dress size. If you're not busty, have narrower shoulders, etc., I'd say it fits true to size. Cabela's Mackenzie Range PrimaLoft jacket: I ordered a Medium and Large and of course am exactly in between the two sizes. I'd say these run a little bit small. I went with the Large so I could wear a fleece vest underneath. The "smoke" color above is actually lighter than how it appears in the photo, and it's a beautiful jacket. It does not nip in at the waist, though, as it appears in the photo. I wish it did, and may try to put some elastic on the inside to make it do that, as I plan on wearing it a good bit as a regular jacket.
If anyone is interested, I'll come back with an update after riding with this combo. With the crazy weather we're having, our highs might be in the 40's one day and the 70's the next. I'll have to wait a bit for highs in the 100's, though.

Nairobi — Lupita Nyong'o's Oscar victory for her supporting performance in the critically acclaimed film "12 Years a Slave" has raised hopes of a much-needed boost to Kenya's fledgling entertainment industry.
Nyongo's global success, cemented by her Academy Award win on Mar. 2, has proved that, "Just like medicine or teaching, entertainment can be a serious career choice particularly for the many unemployed and talented youths in the country," says Nairobi-based market analyst Danson Mwangangi.
But that new attitude to the arts is only just developing.
From Nairobi to Hollywood
"The main problem is that many people have not fully appreciated that entertainment is a job just like any other and they are not willing to pay to watch a performance" -- Kenyan actor Paschal Kilei
Many Kenyan theatre aficionados like local playwright Peter Nderi remember 31-year-old Nyong'o as Juliet in Shakespeare's classic play performed at the Phoenix Players here in Nairobi. "She was only 14 years old but even then, she showed great promise as an actor," Nderi tells IPS.
But Nyong'o's success, he says, has not been overnight. Hollywood's newest it-girl paid her dues working as part of production crews for various films, including "The Constant Gardener", "where she ran errands, including fetching the cast coffee," says Nderi.
He also points to Nyong'o's 2007 feature-length documentary "In My Genes", which explores the challenges people with albanism face as a minority group in Kenya and which Nyong'o wrote, directed and produced.
She later starred in the MTV Africa sex-ed drama series "Shuga", produced in partnership with the U.S. government's anti-AIDS initiative PEPFAR and MTV's Staying Alive Foundation.
Born in Mexico to Kenyan parents, Nyong'o was raised in Kenya where she honed her acting skills on the local theater cirquit before attending Yale School of Drama, one of the United States' most renowned acting programmes.
The new frontier
For Kenya, which is seeing some 40 percent of its workforce unemployed - 70 percent of those being people below the age of 35 - victories like Nyong'o's are a happy note in the effort to develop a vibrant entertainment sector that could lift the economy.
"It is the new frontier for job creation," Mwangangi tells IPS, adding that the government, through the Kenya Film Commission, has set an objective to generate 10 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) from the entertainment industry, incuding all creative and cultural activities.
Recent World Bank statistics show 800,000 job seekers competing for just 50,000 jobs annually, making the governmet's efforts appear a welcome initiative for many young poeple.
But the entertainment industry is not for the faint-hearted, local performers say, whose experiences highlight that the country still has a long way to come before it sees cultural activities as a valid profession.
"The main problem is that many people have not fully appreciated that entertainment is a job just like any other and they are not willing to pay to watch a performance," says Paschal Kilei, a struggling actor with a talent group called 'Talent Tappers' in Mombasa County in Kenyas Coast Province some 482 km from the capital Nairobi.
As a result, Kilei and his colleagues have been left to perform for free in the hope that, with time, people will begin to appreciate their work and pay to watch them perform.
The Talent Tappers do "magnate theatre", in Kilei's words, consisting of random performances in market places, bus stations, "Basically anywhere where there are a large number of people going about their business."
And while their acts are well received, it hasn't brought them any money yet.
Kilei is not alone. Asia Majimbo, another Mombasa-based actor, says that even for established performers the pay is not enough to fully depend on their craft.
"TV actors who earn about 250 dollars per episode are actually the envy of many," says Majimbo. "In a month, about four episodes will air, or even less. And an actor may not even appear in all the episodes unless they are the main characters."
Nderi highlights a lack of formal training as another factor impairing the industry.
"Many actors-slash-actresses in the country take on acting as a hobby, so they do not fully invest in it by trying to get some training in it, which affects the quality of their work."
While not every Kenyan performer has access to a Yale drama eduction to set themselves apart like Nyong'o, Kenyan actors need not be discouraged, says Mwangangi.
The government's keenness to boost the economy through enterntainment has already resulted in a mandate for the Kenya Film Commission to establish a film school in the country, he says, while Kenya's 47 counties have all been encouraged to promote the entertainment industry as an avenue for job creation.
Steady growth
In building the industry, Kenya has a big brother on the continent to learn from, according to Mwangangi. "Nollywood, which is Nigeria's film industry produces about 50 movies per week -- much more than what Hollywood produces... second only to India's Bollywood," he says.
Both Nigeria and Kenya are particularly poised to reap the benefits from their expanding middle class, acording to the analyst, with Kenya's middle-bracket income earners having doubled to 6.5 million in the last decade, according to the African Development Bank.
Although Kenya's film industry still lags behind Nigeria's, it has been growing steadily in the last seven years, according to Kenya's Film Commission, which boasts an 85-percent growth in the number of film establishments and an increase of over 45 percent of people involved in the industry.
"The Samaritans", a comedy series centered around the absurdities of a dysfunctional NGO in Kenya, is a recent example of a Kenyan production garnering international attention, with clips and reviews making its rounds on top news sites and social medica across the internet.
Hussein Kurji, producer of "The Samaritans", tells IPS that he was looking for something "innovative." And he's seeing his efforts pay off.
"The show has received over 150,000 hits in the last 14 days across Vimeo and YouTube and 90,000 hits for the show's trailer on YouTube alone."
Kurji and Nyong'o exemplify the ability for Kenyan entertainers to excel in spite of challenges posed by a still-nascent industry.
They also embody a creative spirit that Kenya hopes to tap to attract people to the fedgling sector, perhaps best summed up in Nyong'o's parting words at the Oscars: "... No matter where you are from, your dreams are valid."

Is Anyone Up?
|Is Anyone Up?
|"Pure Evil"
Type of site
|Adult website, media submission
|Available in
|Created by
|Hunter Moore
Alexa rank
|2,902,768 (April 2014[update])[1]
|closed April 19, 2012
Is Anyone Up? was a pornographic submission website. It allowed users to anonymously submit nude photographs or streaming media of any person (above the legal age limit) to its database. The website was closely associated with the metalcore and post-hardcore music scene, featuring and depicting numerous nude photos of musicians of the genre, in addition to their fans. During its two-year run, Is Anyone Up? was subject to great controversy due to its submissions vastly being based on what is called revenge porn; nude photographs of a person submitted by a former romantic partner of that person displayed in the images.
As a result to its controversy, numerous death threats, lawsuits and campaigns dedicated to having the website taken down were made to founder and owner Hunter Moore. On April 19, 2012, Is Anyone Up? was shut down.
History and background[edit]
Is Anyone Up? was founded in late 2010.[2] Founder Hunter Moore stated the idea for the site came from a woman who continuously sent him exposing pictures, he then created a blog hosting nude photographs and it eventually became isanyoneup.com.[3] As of November 2011, the website netted as much as $13,000 monthly. Moore said he spends generally 12 hours five days a week managing posts. He also said that the website has over 30 million page views a month.[4]
Each submission to the website usually follows the same formula of depicting a man or woman's social networking website profile thumbnail (such as their Facebook or Twitter profile) and then depicts images of them clothed before revealing images exposing their genitalia, or even in some cases, engaging in sexual acts such as masturbation. Each submission line then ends with a "reaction image", usually showing a still or animated gif file of a popular culture scene or Internet meme as a satire "reaction" to the shown images. Hunter Moore states that he takes legal precautions before uploading people onto the site, initially verifying the age of the people submitted through social networking sites and sends the IP information of people who submit photos of underage individuals to a lawyer in Las Vegas who turns it over to law enforcement. Other categories of the site exist such as "Daily Hate", a topic that features angry reactions from people who have had their pictures posted without their consent.
On April 19, 2012, the website was sold to an antibullying group by Moore.[5] He posted an open letter explaining his decision.[6] He left an open letter on BullyVille.com explaining why he did so to anyone who attempts to open the isanyoneup.com domain.[7]
Is Anyone Up? has been subject to much controversy. Many individuals have resorted to either suing Moore or those associated with the Is Anyone Up? domain for the hosting of their nude images displayed on the website.[8] While some images are self-submitted and others are "revenge porn" (which is described as being "pornographic souvenirs from relationships gone sour").[9]
People threaten me with lawsuits every day, which is funny, because it fuels the site. ... The people that get mad hate my site and want to take it down. They send me all this crazy stuff, but at the same time they're just building content for my site, which just makes me more popular.[10]
In November 2011, Moore appeared on Anderson to discuss Is Anyone Up? while being confronted by two women who were submitted onto the website by an anonymous user. When one of the women criticized Moore for "helping" deceptive people that spread such photographs, he responded with "No one put a gun to your head and made you take these pictures. It's 2011, everything's on the Internet."[11]
On August 21, 2012, BullyVille founder James McGibney posted an open letter to Hunter Moore on the main page of the isanyoneup domain, announcing a class action lawsuit and encouraging people to join in.[12]
Floridian rock band, A Day to Remember refused to play at the 2011 Bamboozle festival, knowing Hunter Moore was an attendee at their performance. They demanded he would have to be removed from the venue due to their conflict with Moore after hosting nude images of the band's bassist, Joshua Woodard weeks beforehand.[13]
One morning in August 2011, Moore was attacked and stabbed with a pen by a woman featured on the website.[14] Moore managed to escape with a shoulder wound that required surgery.
In December 2011, social networking website Facebook reportedly threatened legal action to the website along with blocking any linking to the isanyoneup.com domain through Facebook and deleting the official "like" page from its database.
FBI Investigation[edit]
On May 16, 2012, The Village Voice reported that Moore and Is Anyone Up were the subject of an investigation by the FBI, as a large number of the pictures formerly hosted on the site were believed to have been illegally obtained by a hacker known as 'Gary Jones'.[15] ABC Nightline revealed that the FBI investigation was started by Charlotte Laws after a photo of her daughter appeared on the website.[16]
In January 2014, Moore and his alleged aide Charles Evens were arrested by the FBI and indicted in a federal district court in California on charges of conspiracy, unauthorized access to a protected computer, and aggravated identity theft.[17][18]
In February 2015, Moore plead guilty to aggravated identity theft and aiding and abetting in the unauthorized access of a computer. In addition to his mandatory prison sentence, Moore also agreed to a three-year period of supervised probation, a minimum $500,000 fine and an order that he delete all the data on his seized computers.[19]
On July 2, 2015, Charles Evens pleaded guilty to charges of computer hacking and identity theft, confessing to stealing hundreds of images from women's email accounts and selling them to Moore. He faces up to seven years in a federal prison and will be sentenced on November 16. Moore will be sentenced in August.[20]
Popular culture[edit]
German metalcore group Eskimo Callboy have a single entitled "Is Anyone Up?" that describes the site's general idea and attributes.[21] New York-based pop punk band, Forget Me in Vegas, also have a single named "Is Anyone Up", which is also written about the site.[22] Electronic band Blood on the Dance Floor released the album Evolution in 2012, containing the song "Revenge Porn" which references the site and Hunter Moore in the lyrics.[23][24] Electropop group Millionaires released a remix of the Ludacris song My Chick Bad titled "My Chick Bad (Remix) that contained lyrics discussing posting images on Is Anyone Up?.

FATHER'S DAY: Awesome Kids' Gifts #3
By Jackie Burrell
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 at 8:11 am in Crafts, Dads.
DIY stepping stones are a wonderful craft for kids and teens, and the creative possibilities are endless. You can do handprints, add mosaics, broken tiles and all sorts of embellishments. Here's how:
1 12-14″ plastic plant saucer, the cheap kind you stick under a potted plant
Newspapers to cover your work surface plus one extra sheet
A bucket that will likely get trashed
A cheap ruler, paint stirring stick or trowel for mixing
Quikrete mortar mix
Mosaic tiles, glass marbles, and other embellishments
1. Make a few holes in the bottom of the plant tray for drainage. The mortar dries amazingly quickly, and you won't have time to design anything once the stuff is mixed in, so draw the outline of the tray on a piece of newspaper and arrange your mosaics and other elements on the paper.
2. Following the directions on the mortar bag, pour water into the bucket and start adding the mortar a cup at a time while stirring. Keep your face well away from the bucket – or wear protective gear – so you don't inhale the dust. The mortar is ready when it's the consistency of cake frosting.
3. Pour the mortar into your mold and shake it gently to distribute it evenly. If necessary, stir the mortar to eliminate the bubbles – the Home & Garden Network experts suggest donning protective gloves and actually kneading the mixture to eliminate bubbles, but we never found bubbles to be much of a problem. In any case, work quickly and make sure you get the top as smooth as possible.
4. Working from the outside in, start embedding your mosaics. The surface should be wet, with enough give so that the bits of tile are securely embedded, but they don't sink beneath the surface. Do the border first, because that area will dry first. If you are using a lot of little mosaic pieces, marbles and pebbles, you may find yourself racing against the clock to get everything embedded in time. (Start with the border, then do the center, so if the stepping stone dries out before you finish, at least you've got something.)
5. Let the stepping stone dry for a few hours or, better yet, overnight. If you think you might need to move it before it's fully dry, slide a cookie sheet or stiff cardboard underneath it for support. Once it's dry, carefully pop it out of the mold.

This is what we wake up to out of our hotel. This is a beautiful place.
There was another group of bikers staying at our hotel. They were all on a variety of Enfields, a couple were rented and they had purchased a few as well. One of the guys knew the Enfields from a previous trip to India. He was not impressed with any of them either but he just accepted them as part of the journey. We would see half of them down at the local repair shop in a few hours.
Here's the local bike shop run by a Nepalese dude named Yogesh. He goes by Yogi. He's another mechanic that knows these Enfields intimately. He's also using the "Enfield mechanics triage technique", diagnosing and taking care of the low hanging fruit first. He's the only game in town so he's swamped. Everyone is waiting patiently.
We're up and I show Yogi the metal shavings jammed in the rocker arm covers. He starts to look for the root of them. We've got the timing gear and oil pump cover off and don't see anything that's obviously wrong.
Meanwhile, we're seeing brake pads being replaced on different bikes and decide to take a look at ours. They're metal on metal, both of our bikes.
This is low hanging fruit and Buurrt's bike jumps in head of mine determined by the "Enfield mechanic triage technique". Yogi's got a handful of young apprentices that take care of these common issues. His best man speaks ok english, Yogi has minimal english skills.
Back at my bike, we drain the oil and take a look at the various oil strainers. No explanation needed here. We determine the cylinder head has to come back off and we need to look at the piston.
We pull off the cylinder and the problem becomes immediately obvious. As I suspected a couple of days back from the deep knocking, the lower connecting rod bearing is loose as a goose!! The oil port to the connecting rod bearing in the crank is plugged not allowing oil to flow which is why the bearing went. I suspect that the bike was run out of oil at some point previous initially causing the metal shavings which would plug all the oil ports. This is totally depressing as the only fix is to pull the engine out and
We return to our hotel in the afternoon not happy at all about the state of my bike. We are getting deeper into the Himalayas and intended to go even deeper. We are now entertaining alternatives and adjusting to the fact that we might not be able to continue the direction we want to. We are weighing our options, not quite sure what to do about my bike that is total junk at this point.

The top ten mid-engined hatchbacks
The Veloster Midship concept has us pining for real bum-engined compacts. Click for the best…
Posted: 02 Jun 2014
Nissan's always been good at raiding its parts bin and making cars that are not fast, fast. Really fast. For 2004, it built this - a 265bhp, 150mph, sub-four-seconds-to-sixty... Micra. Ray Mallock - the British engineering company that ran Nissan's circa-1990s BTCC campaigns - put it together, and used a detuned version of a 2.0-litre touring car engine running through a six-speed sequential gearbox. Inside, it got a welded-in roll cage that increased stiffness by 30 per cent and not a lot else. Though Nissan did keep the central locking, electric windows and cup-holders.

HANOVER, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire women's soccer team fell by a score of 3-0 at Dartmouth College Friday night. The loss drops the Wildcats to 1-5-1 on the season while the Big Green improves to 3-2-0. Junior goalkeeper Erica Correa (Cheshire, Conn.) tallied a game-high eight saves in the match.
Dartmouth notched its first goal with only seconds remaining in the first half. The goal came when Marina Moschitto took a pair of touches on the ball and launched a shot to the top corner of the net, giving the Big Green a 1-0 advantage at the half.
In the second half, Dartmouth's Tasha Wilkins expanded the lead to 2-0 when she scored an unassisted goal in the 70th minute of play. The tally came after she controlled a bouncing ball in the box and sent it into the net. Chrissy Lozier notched the third goal of the match for Dartmouth after scoring on a header. The play originated with Libby Hamlin serving Lozier a pass in which she connected and headed it away in the 86th minute. At the end of the match, Dartmouth notched a 3-0 victory.
Dartmouth outshot New Hampshire by a total of 18-5 in the match, with an on-goal total of 11-3. Correa made eight saves on the 11 shots she faced while Tatiana Saunders stopped all three shots she faced for the Big Green. Monique LaMotte (Tampa, Fla.), Kristi Zarrilli (Gorham, Maine) and Drea Nogueira (New Bedford, Mass.) each tallied a shot on goal.
New Hampshire returns to action Sunday when they travel to the University of Massachusetts. The match is slated for 1 p.m.

They detailed my car, which included shampooing the interior and washing and waxing the exterior. They did superb job. They listened to what I wanted and were able to tell me what they could do and what to expect. They were able to exceed those expectations.
