I wanted to write this article as soon as I knew who the Flyers were facing in the second round. I just didn't know I'd be waiting this long. No one did! I felt like a waiter in a restaurant waiting on the Olsen twins to decide which shot glass of soup they'd share for dinner.
I'm sure you are all aware that the Flyers combed through round one against the New Jersey Devils. They capped that series off with a win in game 5, 3 goals to zero; Flyers goals scored by Danny Briere and two by Claude Giroux.
With every victory there comes suffering soon to follow. Flyers forward, Ian Laperriere, once again threw himself into the lion pit during a PK. This warrior, built from Zeus's heart and Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick, slid in front of a slap shot but unfortunately took the frozen rubber just inches above his right eye. As he made his way off the ice, Lappy began asking the trainer(s) if he still had his eye.
The man was basically asking if his own eyeball exploded. If that had been me, I'd still be on the ice crying like a child, and this guy has the ability to ask cognitive questions while skating to the locker room. When I get up in the middle of the night to pee and stub my big toe on the corner of the drawer you would have thought I stepped on a landmine. Yet Lappy takes the injury as if he had been stung by a bee.
After an hour or so in the locker room, Ian regained his vision and had an epiphany; "I want to see my children grow up with both of my eyes," Laperriere said. "I made a stupid mistake again and I'll wear a shield for the rest of my career now." That is respectable. I've been watching hockey for years, and I have not seen anyone thrust themselves in front of a puck like Laperriere has.
Anyways, Ian suffered a brain contusion and a concussion from the play. He is most likely going to miss the remainder of the season, but may grab a seat on the bench as a player-coach (I don't know the terminology) and talk with the player(s) filling in for him on the power play kill. I think that is an excellent idea.
If you were watching last night, the Capitals fell to the Montreal Canadiens, ending the series in a Montreal victory, 4 games to 3. It was one of the biggest upsets I have ever witnessed my entire life. The Canadiens crawled into the off season and managed to put up one of the best defensive forces the game of hockey's experienced. I give them props, and that kills me to say that, because I truly despise the city of Montreal. Ever since their crowd booed our national anthem, I consider them lower than dog shit.
But it is what it is, and the Flyers finally (after almost a week of waiting) get their opponent. Philadelphia will faceoff against the Boston Bruins this Saturday, at 12:30pm. The Bruins are a dangerous team. They've been in a championship drought longer than us and Beantown loves its hockey. I don't respect their baseball team - in fact, the Red Sox can burn in hell - but the Bruins are an amazing match up. This is going to be a great series. Both squads are physical and looking to leave their opponent tired on the ice.
Now.....I don't EVER expose myself purposely to the insanity of Hollywood and the lunatics who call themselves "movie stars", but if you have a television then you've noticed the whole Sandra Bullock and Jessie James debacle. Firstly, I don't give a flying rat's ass if that tattoo covered d-bag cheated on Sandra. In fact, the only personal life I give a shit about is my family's, the woman I love, and mine. The rest can surf the lava waves in the seventh circle of hell for all I care.
Yet, when I turn on the news, radio, computer, flip a page in a f'ing book, I gotta see this goddamn story. He cheated. Great. So do 19 million other husbands. That's like telling me fire is hot. Am I surprised? About as surprised as a camel seeing more sand in the horizon.
I know this has nothing to do with hockey, but it's my blog.
Okay, so....Sandra and Jessie get divorced. SHOCKING! Not only did we have to swallow every single detail of that shit-storm, but now (as the story seemed to lay to rest) we must witness in awe as Sandra reveals she's adopted a child from New Orleans.
Is it me, or does it seem that a child is just another accessory in Hollywood? They've become the equivalent to a starlet wearing a mink scarf on the red carpet.
Angelina has set the bar for women in Hollywood to use this adopting a child as a fashion statement. Not only do I find Angelina Jolie's physical features gross and tired, but the road she's paved for the rest of Hollywood angers me more than a leper playing volleyball. Enough of this "adopting a third world child just so it betters my image" crap! Madonna's doing it, Angie's doing it, now Sandra? Give me a break.
Adopt a goddamn puppy if that's what you need. At least you have the ability to put it down. Not a child! Do these women understand that a human infant shits, pisses and needs food? They can't even take care of themselves or their relationships, yet here they are grabbing kids like they're shopping for a pair of shoes.
God forbid Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan decide to share this same fashion statement, because I'm pretty sure I'd dial 911 to get that kid out of their custody.
::deep breath.......exhaaaaale:: Rant over.
Below I added the highlight of Ian Laperriere bravely putting his own well-being in front of a slap shot, blocking the puck. The Flyers begin Round 2 this Saturday at 12:30pm on NBC, in Boston against the Bruins. Don't miss a second!

Today is our year-end party. It has a Turkish theme. It's at a Turkish restaurant and we were told to 'wear something smart with a touch of Turkish gold'.
If you read between the lines: Wear something pretty because you'll probably say impossibly embarrassing things to the boss after the fourth tequila and try to snog the office hound by the seventh. But at least you looked pretty in 'your touch of Turkish gold'.
The reality is that it will probably be a crazy night. I work in advertising…we go big or go home (although, by advertising standards, the agency is less drugs, sex and rock'n roll than most and we usually don't go around snogging each other or getting high in the bathroom). But yeah, am wondering about the dynamic tonight as partners have been invited along.
It's a strange thing. You spend eight hours a day (at least) with your colleagues and grow incredibly comfortable with each other. You tell each other stories of relationships hissy fits, kids acting up and general domestic mayhem and suddenly you're in a room with husbands, wives and partners. And everybody is on far better behaviour.
I just don't get it. Makes for an exhausting evening right? I'd rather sit around and watch paint dry than sit through an excruciating evening of small talk and playing nice. I've been to my fair share of company parties over the years – some were tame and others were quite wild.
Sure, everbody has a 'Echoes at work' persona and a 'Echoes at home' persona – but surely it's not that different that everybody looks a little deer-caught-in-the-headlights when their significant others are in the room.
Granted. I've seen some hairy moments at company parties. With or without partners – fights in cocktail gowns (so classy. I die), the awkward quiet guy who becomes a lecherous bastard after two beers, a male and female colleague getting buck wild on the dance floor while their respective partners look on in shock and the new mom who brought her baby to an evening dinner and decided to nurse little Johnny right there over the entrée. Yikes. Have seen it all.
Tonight, I'm hoping for a fun affair. Hopefully there will be some 'realness' from my colleagues despite having their partners around.
And no catfights, dirty dancing or baby nursing.

Good morning. I'm Don Bullock, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations. Welcome to Eaton's Second Quarter 2011 Earnings Conference Call. Joining me this morning are Sandy Cutler, Chairman and CEO; and Rick Fearon, Vice Chairman and CFO. As has been our practice, we will begin today's call with comments from Sandy, followed by a question-and-answer session.
The information provided on our conference call today will include forward-looking statements concerning the third quarter 2011 and full year 2011 net income per share and operating earnings per share; third quarter and full year 2011 revenues; our worldwide markets; our growth in relation to end markets; and our growth from acquisitions. Those statements should be used with caution and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the company's control. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are set forth in today's press release and related Form 8-K filing.
As a reminder, we include a presentation on second quarter results, which can be accessed on the Investor Relations web page. Additional financial information is available in today's press release, which is located on the Eaton's homepage at www.eaton.com. At this point, I'll turn it over to Sandy. Sandy?
Alexander Cutler
Thanks, Don, and good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us this morning. We're completing obviously a very strong second quarter, which for us signified a strong first half and what we expect to be a record year in both sales and profits in our 100th anniversary year. I'm sure you've all had the chance to read our press release, our operating earnings per share of $0.97, up 47% versus last year, $0.04 higher than the midpoint of our guidance that we provided in our April call, and with the tax rate in line with our guidance that we did provide in April.
Net income per share was also $0.97, up 47%. Sales were up some 21% at $4,090 million, confirmation of strong continued momentum in our markets. The markets were up some 12% from a year ago in the quarter. 26% of our sales came from developing countries, and the year-to-year increase on those sales from developing countries were some 30%. And our quarterly segment profit margin of 13.9% was an all-time record, and obviously underpinned what had been our full year guidance of 14% for segment margins. As you'll see, as we go through this pack that we're raising it to 14.5% for the full year, this year.
We turn to Chart #4, entitled Comparison to Second Quarter Guidance. Obviously, the midpoint of our guidance that we provided in our April conference call was $0.93. We saw a just marginally lower markets than we had expected that accounted for about $0.01, and an improved performance for our cost of operations at $0.05. And that's what led us to the $0.97 reported operating earnings per share of just over 4% versus the midpoint of our second quarterly guidance.
If we move to Chart 5. You saw many of these figures, obviously, in the press release. Our sales were up some 8% from the first quarter, which we think references the continued strong momentum in our marketplaces. The 13.9% operating margin does encapsulate the roughly $25 million of uncovered commodity costs that we had shared with you in the April conference call that we expected during the second quarter. It came in very much in line with that, and that's about 0.6 point.
Market growth of 12%. We outgrew by about 2 points (sic) [2%]. Acquisition revenues accounted for 1 point (sic) [1%] and then ForEx accounted for about 6 points (sic) [6%]. And that's the overall elements that led to the 21% increase in year-to-year sales during the quarter.
Moving into the individual segments. If we move to Chart #6, the Electrical - Americas segment. Sales of just over $1 billion in the quarter, up some 7% from the first quarter. 16% year-to-year of strong, we think, revenue performance. Market was up about 10%, and you can see the elements of outgrowth, acquisition and ForEx. 14% operating margin in the quarter. Bookings up some 9%. The great strength we're continuing to see here is more on the industrial side of the marketplaces. We believe the U.S. nonresidential markets are close to a bottom and that's very much reflected in the bookings that we're seeing here during the second quarter, and the fact that our bookings year-to-year are up quite strongly in the nonresidential marketplace.

Palestinian prisoners end mass hunger-strike after deal with Israel
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Scores of Palestinians on hunger-strike ended their protest against detention without trial on Wednesday after winning concessions but no major change of policy from Israel.
About 120 Palestinians on so-called "administrative detention" began fasting on April 24 and were joined over the past two months by 180 others. About 75 needed hospitalization, fuelling debate in Israel over a proposed force-feeding law.
Israel concerned about any U.S.-Iran cooperation in Iraq
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel voiced concern on Monday at the prospect of its closest ally, Washington, cooperating with its what it considers its deadliest foe, Iran, to stave off a sectarian break-up of Iraq.
But, Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz told Reuters, the United States and other major powers have pledged that any such cooperation would not set back their drive to curb Tehran's nuclear program.
Israeli spy general says Iran serious in negotiations on nuclear deal
HERZLIYA Israel (Reuters) – Iran is negotiating seriously on a deal to curb its disputed nuclear program, a senior Israeli intelligence officer said on Monday in a shift of tone from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scepticism.
Brigadier-General Itai Brun, military intelligence's chief analyst, told a strategic forum that Iran was honoring a November interim agreement that Netanyahu had condemned as an "historic mistake" for easing sanctions on Israel's arch-enemy.
Netanyahu's Palestine strategy rapped by Israeli coalition partners
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the now-moribund Palestinian peace negotiations drew criticism from both sides of his own coalition on Sunday, and one partner said relations with the United States had plunged to an all-time low.
The censure, aired at a showcase policy conference attended by foreign dignitaries as well as the country's senior politicians, exposed deep rifts in the government but there appeared to be little sign of any imminent collapse.
Drones gain ground in Israel after Cobra helicopters cut
TEL AVIV, May 28 (Reuters) – Israel has phased out one of
its two types of U.S. attack helicopter in favour of using more
drones, military officers have told Reuters, reflecting a need
for lighter and cheaper air power to counter Islamist guerrillas
on its borders.
They said Israel's last squadron of Cobras, built for
tank-hunting and eluding surface-to-air missiles, was pulled
from service late last year. The decision was previously kept
under wraps but disclosed in an increasingly public feud between
the Defence Ministry and Treasury over budget cuts.
Nigeria's neglected Israeli drones won't help find girls
JERUSALEM/LAGOS (Reuters) – Nigeria bought Israeli surveillance drones years ago that might have been used to hunt for more than 200 girls held by Islamist rebels, but poor maintenance has left them grounded, two official sources and the aircraft's manufacturer said.
"To the best of our knowledge, these systems aren't operational," Tsur Dvir, marketing officer for Aeronautics Defense Systems, a firm based south of Tel Aviv that supplied Nigeria with Aerostar unmanned aerial vehicles, said on Tuesday.
Israeli minister sees 50 percent more settlers in West Bank by 2019
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The number of Jewish settlers in the Israeli-occupied West Bank could grow by as much as 50 percent by 2019, Israel's ultra-nationalist construction minister said on Friday.
Palestinians want the West Bank as part of their future state and blamed settlement expansions for the breakdown last month of U.S.-mediated peace talks with Israel – a position supported in part by Washington, but rejected by the Israelis.
Exclusive: Israel's David's Sling will not win Polish missile tender – official
JERUSALEM/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Israel is poised to lose out on a deal valued at up to $13 billion to build a missile defense shield for Poland, an Israeli defense official said on Wednesday, citing lobbying by Washington on behalf of rival U.S. systems.
As compensation, the manufacturer of the Israeli David's Sling missile defense system may get a role in a future U.S.-led arms sale to Warsaw, the official, who has been briefed on the competition, told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
"Homeland" co-creator wants Israel to be prime spot for U.S. TV shows
TEL AVIV (Reuters) – The Israeli co-creator of hit spy thriller television series "Homeland" believes his native country should become a prime location for U.S. television shows about the Middle East and is working hard to make this happen.
Writer-director Gideon Raff is at the helm of Fox drama "Tyrant" and NBCUniversal archeological mystery "The Dig", two U.S. productions under way simultaneously in Israel – a first for the country's small but active entertainment industry.
Israel fires back at U.S. envoy over peace talks' failure
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel fired back on Friday at a senior U.S. official, who blamed Jewish settlement construction in part for the breakdown of peacemaking with the Palestinians, saying he himself had done nothing to help the negotiations.
The blunt riposte signaled continued, deep tensions between Israel and Washington over the U.S.-led talks, which collapsed last month amid bitter recriminations.

"Alfred Hitchcock was a master at making Hitchcock films."
and for this one - I just want to know the title of the student's composition...
"Such pleasure, would be his beer substance. This also shows how a women can be presented as a trophy. This means like beer, a women is cherished and rubbed down because of their likings."
I absolutely loved this one:
The human need for beer.

"Miss Minnie Cooper used to be an attractive old woman but she has become an old sphincter."
"Hester P. took her punishment like a straight up G and she never ratted out her baby daddy."

(Australia 1964 – )
168.7 x 117.8 cm frame; 152.0 x 101.0 cm sight
'Strange fruit' was first exhibited in 1994 at The Performance Space, in partnership with Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Cooperative. The title, 'Strange fruit', is drawn from the Billie Holiday song about the racial atrocities that occurred in the deep south of America, but also considers the use of the term 'hybridity' in relation to contemporary arts practice with cross-pollinated images of racial identity.
In the initial installation, the images were intimate in scale and displayed in conjunction with native and introduced species of fruit and flowers that rotted during the exhibition, while a looped sound-piece comprising the overlaid voices of the women depicted, continuously played. This rich sensory experience played with the notion of 'strange fruit' and what this may be.
The works exhibited here are on a much larger scale. Each of the images provides an intimate portrait of one of Croft's friends assuming a specific character, including Billie Holiday. The work refers to the classification and preconceptions of who is actually of Aboriginal heritage and what an Aboriginal person is supposed to look like in contemporary Australian society.

This is a favorite spot of convention-goers staying at the Hilton, and the new chef Miroslav Hanzal is a great addition. Spying on his work through the window into the kitchen, diners can watch him add haute flair to Czech classics like svíčková (marinated beef with cream sauce) or experiment with dishes like white and green asparagus salad with egg yolk. Czech wines are similarly of a higher standard, though beer goes very well with most recipes. Hanzal is also a whiz with the restaurant's wide selection of U.S. beef. Although those in the city center will have to hop on the metro to Florenc, the food and the excellent service are worth the trip.

I know I am probably going to get flamed for making this topic, but what the hell:
I'm sorry, I know a lot of people enjoy Grant Morrison's work on Batman Inc. I am just not one of them. I don't have any gripes with any particular issue, just with the concept of Batman Inc. as a whole. Other than the main Bat-Family, I really couldn't care less about El Gaucho, Nightrunner or the rest of them. I do, however, find the idea of Leviathan pretty intriguing and wish they would divulge more information about them. The only thing I really know about it is that Talia runs it, and apparently they have undercover agents EVERYWHERE.
Second complaint - I really hate the artwork on this series. It really bugs me and makes it hard to enjoy the story they are trying to tell.
Third complaint - The Heretic. I like that they made a physically dominate foe for Batman to struggle with, but the fact that he is a physically altered clone of Damien that was harvested in the stomach of whale thing I find completely ridiculous.
Last complaint - What Morrison has done to Jason Todd. I refuse to refer to him as "Wingman." For starters I think that his willingness to work with Bruce and the rest of Batman Inc. would be completely out of character for Jason until the events of RHATO #18 where he and Bruce sort of buried the hatchet. I also don't get the continuity of it. In the last issue of RHATO, Jason was still suffering from his acid-facial from the Joker but in Inc. there is no mention or after effects from it.

32 year old woman | Alexandria, VA, USA | Seeking men 29-40 within 50 miles
I'm sorry, are you wearing your "big boy" pants today?
I'm the type of person to go out at the drop of a hat or stay in and watch a movie...I could literally change my mind in 5 minutes. I want someone that can keep up with me and knows how to hold my attention. Richard Lawrence sums it up (and I know how terribly cheesy quotes are, but it's perfect) "Everything positive a man does for a woman benefits him. Show her some affection, she'll show him more attention. He protects her, she comforts him. Provide a woman what she needs and she'll do her best to give you what you want. Give her a house, she'll turn it into a home. Love her and she'll love you back." I'm that woman. Except I have to watch football too! (Go Giants...don't be mad) I'm into laughing, it's kind of my thing. It's true that they say if you can make a woman laugh you can get her to do anything. If you can make me laugh you've already won me over because at the end of the day that's what I need. The same things I expect for myself I would expect someone to want from me...honesty, loyalty, trust, compassion, empathy, humor (because I will tell you right now that if you fall down or hurt yourself in front of me I'm going to laugh while I'm asking you if you're okay), caring, etc. etc. etc....what everyone is looking for! I think people put too much pressure on themselves to have certain things accomplished by a certain time just because they think it's what they're supposed to be doing. I like to just enjoy new things and it it works - great, if not -keep it moving. I'm naive and I can say that and be okay because I think it's my most endearing quality. I'm not a malicious person so I can't fathom that people would do things to hurt other people. I don't have time for games, drama, and general BS and I won't sit around for it. I'm a hopeless romantic and sometimes yes I want ponies and rainbows...is it realistic, probably not, but that doesn't mean it's definitely not. At the end of the day I love to live and I live to love and that's an amazing feeling.

In Google SketchUp 7 New Features, George Maestri reviews the major enhancements to Google's free and user-friendly 3D modeling software. One of the most exciting changes is the addition of Dynamic Components, and George takes an in-depth tour of their features, including built-in animation and the ability to scale without distortion. He also reviews the new point-and-click Interact tool, which allows users to customize Dynamic Components without the use of a keyboard or menus, and the improved Line tool, which transforms intersecting lines into separate segments. Other improvements include updates to the 3D warehouse and the ability to download models directly from Google Earth. Exercise files accompany this course.
Another nice new feature of SketchUp 7.1 is the ability to bring in what are called Nearby models. So, if you have a location that you are working with you can bring in all the buildings that are close to your area, so you can have a better representation of how your structure will look in the context of a city. So let's again go to Washington, D.C. I'm starting actually in Google Earth here, and again, it will just go ahead and bring us into the city.
Now if I want, I can just leave this at default here, and let's just go ahead and center this over The White House. So all I want to do here is just bring up that block or so that consists of The White House. And then I'm going to go into SketchUp and under Tools, under Google Earth, I'm just going to say Get Current View and what that does is it just takes a snapshot of this area and brings it into Google SketchUp 7. So now I have the area in and around The White House.
Now once I have this in SketchUp, all I have to do now is go to my Components window and just go Nearby models. Once I do that it will find anything that's within the confines of this area. So if I wanted to, I could bring in the Smithsonian and it brings up that page and all I have to do is hit Download model and this will load it directly into my SketchUp model, and now it will go ahead and download. And once this is downloaded, we'll have to say Preserve Location, which means it will place it at the spot that it thinks this building will exist and if we close this we can see now, here it is actually down in the corner where we have the Smithsonian.
Now we can do this for basically any building. We can actually populate this entire city. So, if I go into Components, go to Nearby models again, we could for example bring in just about anything. We could bring in the Post Office Building, and Yes to Preserve Location, and again, you can see how we are starting to build up buildings that are close to the area that we're working on.
So you can see this can be a very nice way to find the buildings that are close to where you are working and populate your area. Again, it's just a nice way of tying Google SketchUp to Google Earth to make it a much more robust application.

Stopped by here when I was at a conference. The food was tasty. Service was good. Price was very reasonable. Would definitely return.
I did not care for the crystal shrimp, however there was other shrimp which was very tasty. They had a good selection of food and the price was reasonable.
Friendly atmosphere....great service. Buffet had some tasty selections...crab Rangoon, scallion chicken, house fried rice, asian green beans, spring rolls, egg rolls, soups and several beef, chicken and vegetable dishes to choose. A nice section of fruit as well. The restaurant was very clean...wait staff were attentive.
The food is good. It's not a big buffet set up. I wish they had more vegetarian options. Their spring rolls are good! Service is great. Very friendly! I live in Clemmons and we go here about every six weeks or so. Very consistent menu.
I love coming to mandarin buffet. The food is always fresh. The trays will look empty but the cooks are making right size portions. Everything is always hot. Gi, the owner is always so welcoming and always has conversations with my kids. Very family friendly. I love my experience here.
I've seen too many cleanliness related problems and comments for this place to feel comfortable eating here. For every issue you notice there are probably ten you never see and there are many.
I had read several reviews on his this buffet was amazing so I was anxious to try it on my lunch break. I was soooo dissapointed when I went in and saw the buffet. They hardly had anything. Everything I tried wasnt good. I wont be going back. The customer service was really good though.
This is a sub-standard Chinese buffet that feeds the workers for lunch. It was much better in the past. The prices are reasonable if you want to stuff yourself.
It may be under new ownership. I didn't recognize any management there.
Do not waste your money.
Nice people, food very good, nice selection of choices, great price.
The buffet is is hot, fresh and has a wide variety of items. Two types of soups, spring rolls and egg rolls, dishes that include beef, seafood, and many types of chicken entrees. The scallion chicken is great! A variety of sauces are available. There is fruit and dessert available. The owners and staff are exceptionally friendly!!

The Little Ten

So much for the Big Twelve. Nebraska and Colorado won. A&M lost. Texas always wins. It got what it wanted: $$$$$$$. What happened is an embarrassment. This conference is no better than the Big East. They might as well let Oklahoma and Texas play a one-game schedule in Dallas every October to determine the BCS representative while everybody else flips coins on Saturdays to decide the games no one cares about. I'm so down about this I don't even want to write another word about it.

Nintendo Wii
Question from budda121
Is it ok too..........?
Open up my wii and clean the lens reader by blowing on it?i know i really shouldnt touch it,but im desperate to play brawl again and i dont have the patience to send it to nintendo unless i positively have too.so is it safe to do that?
7 years ago
Accepted Answer
Unless you know what you are doing, never open a system. And if you do, never clean a laser lens by blowing onit, moisture from your breath will only make matters worse.
I suggest trying a cd-lens cleaner. I have a Recoton one I use whenever my Wii has trouble reading a disc.
7 years ago
It will void the warranty. Also, send it to Nintendo. They aren't just cleaning it out, they're upgrading the disc read laser that they're not telling anybody about. Some of them have trouble reading dual-layered DVD's, which Brawl is. That's definitely something you can't do yourself, so if you are having Brawl trouble, you have to send it in to Nintendo.
7 years ago
Nintendo will fix something like that with ease, and if your still under warranty, they'll do it for free. You could always do damage yourself, witch also voids the warranty so it can't be fixed for free.
7 years ago
You definitely will want the warranty, so I'd recommend that you send it into Nintendo and see what they can do with it.
7 years ago
Send it to Nintendo. If not you could damage the Wii and lose your SSBB save file at the same time.
7 years ago
Never open the system as you run a very high chance of completely screwing up the best system.
7 years ago
Send it to Nintendo, they'll fix it for you. Don't try it yourself.
7 years ago
I wouldn't open it up if I were you (unless you're planning to do anything Nintendo won't do inside of it), but I've heard from some people that blowing some compressed air through the disc slot helped their systems; give it a shot if you have a can sitting around.
7 years ago
I would get a lens cleaning kit as a last resort only, though. If you can easily afford to send it to Nintendo and have it done there then do that, but getting a lens cleaner at Best Buy for ten bucks would not be a bad idea.
7 years ago
Just send it in to Nintendo like everyone else is saying. First you will void your warranty, then you might mess up for lens even more or damage something else in your Wii. A little patience might be good.

text: Nude Dip #4 is a dark brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had fantastic pigmentation regardless of application method. The texture was soft, smooth, ultra finely-milled but not powdery. When I wore it, the color didn't show any signs of creasing until after ten hours of wear. MAC Cocktail Black (LE, $15.00) is darker. Chanel Tisse Rivoli #4 (P) is similar. YSL Saharienne #3 (P) is a touch lighter. bareMinerals Toasted Espresso (LE, $14.00) is similar. Le Metier de Beaute Autumn Rust (LE, $30.00) is warmer. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Gear Review
Gregory Morris
Not for people with big legs
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
It's too tight, and does not fit. My legs are large (I run, bike, and climb) and this just doesn't cut it. The opening on the back needs to be bigger. It's a case of where less is more... as in more comfort. Maybe it's something you get used too, but it's not for me.

Radiation therapy uses high-dose X-rays or
other types of radiation to destroy
bladder cancer cells. It may be used alone, before
surgery to shrink the cancer, or after surgery to destroy any remaining cancer
cells. Radiation therapy may also be used if a person with bladder cancer
cannot have surgery.
External beam radiation comes from a machine
outside the body. The machine aims radiation at the cancer area. Most people
who receive external beam radiation therapy for bladder cancer are treated 5
days a week for 6 to 7 weeks as an outpatient.
(interstitial) radiation therapy (brachytherapy) uses radioactive material
contained in tiny tubes, wires, or beads. These are surgically placed in or
near the tumor.
Radiation therapy for bladder cancer
often causes fatigue. You may also have problems with nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, or urinary discomfort. Home treatment and medicine may help relieve
these side effects.
Both men and women may have sexual problems
following radiation therapy for bladder cancer. Women may have vaginal dryness,
and men may have
erection problems.
Radiation therapy destroys cancer
cells. It may be used with surgery to prevent bladder cancer from coming back
(recurring). It is also a treatment choice if surgery is not recommended for
another medical reason. Radiation can also be used to
treat symptoms such as pain in advanced bladder
Radiation therapy helps prevent
recurrence of bladder cancer. It is more effective when it is used in
combination with chemotherapy than when it is used alone.1
Radiation therapy may cause a decrease in your
white blood cells (leukopenia), which increases your risk of developing an
infection. Your doctor will monitor your blood counts regularly and may change
your treatment schedule until your white blood cell count returns to normal.
You may also have side effects from radiation, such as:
Home treatment and medicine may help relieve these side
Radiation therapy can cause scar
tissue in the treated area. If cancer progresses after radiation therapy, the
scar tissue can make surgery more complicated.1
External radiation may darken your skin color,
and the change may be permanent. You may also lose your hair in the treated
area, but usually it grows back.

- 225g (8oz) shortcrust pastry
- 900g (2 lb) cooking apples, such as Bramleys, peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 cinnamon stick, halved
- juice of 1 lemon
- 115-140g (4-5oz) caster sugar
- 225g (8oz) blackberries, thawed if frozen
- 50g (1 3/4 oz) toasted flaked almonds
- for the meringue
- 2 large egg whites
- 115g (4oz) caster sugar
serves 6. Preheat the oven to 200C (gas mark 6, 400F). Roll out the pastry and use to line a 20 cm fluted loose-bottomed flan tin. Line with foil or greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans, then bake blind for about 15 minutes. Remove the beans and paper and return to the oven for about 5-10 minutes until the pastry has dried out. Lower the temperature to 160C (gas mark 3, 325F). In a pan, gently heat the apples, cinnamon, lemon juice and sugar (to taste) with two to three tablespoons of cold water for 10-15 minutes, until the apples are soft and pulpy. Remove the cinnamon, then fold in the blackberries and pile the mixture into the pastry case. Make the meringue: in a clean grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites until white and foamy. Whisk in 50g (1 3/4 oz) of the sugar until the mixture stiffens and becomes glossy, then fold in the remaining sugar. Spoon the meringue over the apple and blackberry filling. Using a palette knife, spread the meringue out evenly, pulling into peaks. Scatter the almonds on top and bake for 25-30 minutes until the meringue is a crisp, pale golden brown on top, but still soft inside.
