Certainly kids shouldn't see X rated stuff. Smoking is a lot more dangerous than picking up a cursing habit, makes sense to make movies R rated, i.e. "opt in". Meaning you can let your kids see R rated films, you just have to be there with them. Make smoking films R rated, your kids can still see them with your permission.

VF25, O-101a
Aside from the light obverse crack, the present VF25 1797 O-101a variety displays a later state of the reverse die. A rather heavy crack runs from the rim through the right side of the O in OF through the wreath to the lower middle part of the right (facing) wing. Another crack from the bottom of the O travels through the three uppermost palm leaves to the eagle's head. A heavy crack extends from the rim between D of UNITED and S of STATES through the four laurel leaves and the upper part of the wing to the lower neck. Another crack branches from this one to connect the lower parts of ST in STATES, where it joins a crack running from the rim through the first T and the wreath to the eagle's upper neck. A light crack is visible between the left (facing) leg and wing, and yet another travels from the rim to the upper right serif of the U in UNITED.
Bluish-gray toning on the obverse margin cedes to light silver-gray centers, while the former color dominates the reverse fields and highlights the lighter gray design elements. The devices exhibit nice detail, including separation in much of Liberty's hair and about half of the eagle's wing plumage. The few small contacts scattered about are of little consequence, and adjustment marks are absent. A couple of minute marks on the forehead above Liberty's eye are mentioned for pedigree purposes. This is a great, attractive coin for a type or date/variety collection.

Choosing between 2 Girls. Tough choice isn't It?
by, 26th August 2012 at 09:11 AM (3392 Views)
Do you have that feeling when you have to choose between 2 girls (if your a guy) or 2 boys (if your a girl)? And you don't know who to choose. Especially If you supported your current girl/boy the most and suddenly, you find another girl/boy that suits your liking too and something your current girl/boy doesn't have? All in all, you can't choose between the two. It comes to the point where you need to make the right decision.
Yeah, that's how I am feeling right now.
Basically, the story starts off...
There is a girl that I like while I was still in Guam. Ever since we both left the 8th Grade year, we went on our different paths since we cannot go to the same school due to district laws. And the only way of communication is through Facebook/Twitter or our Phones. We still talk from time to time, but over the course of freshmen year, she is busy with tons of honors work and not enough time for us to talk. In May 2012, we met each other in the mall, since I wanted to buy a Steam voucher card and a new USB Cable for my iPhone and we were so happy to see each other. I couldn't stay too long since my mom was waiting for me. Then on my last day of School, June 6, 2012, I decided to go to my old school to meet my old teachers again. While at the same time, she was there too. We hung out, but barely got to talk since I was exhausted that time. But before we left, we fulfilled our promise to take a picture together and its a goodbye after that. Moving on to Summer 2012, we did talk, but not all the time. She was busy with driving school so she needs to study. So I'm fine with It. It took almost one whole month since we can start talking as usual, but Its not as much as before. And last week, August 20, school started in Guam. But for me, I am in the Philippines right now. I'll explain later in the next part of my story. Anyways, school has begun, but both of us barely got to speak now. Its either she's always busy or something else...
I said that I am in the Philippines now. Well, now I am. I'll explain why. When my mom told me that she didn't feel too good and wanted to return home to the Philippines, I had to make one of my toughest decision, which is to, stay here or go. I thought about It and I said I'll go. I didn't regret It, but at the same time, I won't see my friends anymore. The opportunity was there because I can graduate next year so I can go College without going through all 4 years of High School. Now that I finally made that decision, I am currently happy in my new school. Still need time to adjust, but overall Its good.
Long story short, there is this girl, who I am starting to have feelings for. Despite the fact that my new friends (including the teachers) are pairing me up with her. Because we both speak English very well, we live near each other, and we are both from different places. Anyways, lately, when they say her name in front of me, I start to blush. I don't know why. We're just good friends and I need her to assist me in certain parts of my classes since I barely know any of them. But I guess that's turning into something since my friends and teachers are seeing something between us.
And that's why I am making a tough choice. Choose the first one (Guam) or the second one (Philippines). If I choose the first one, I have to wait 2 years before I see her again OR second one, more opportunity since we are near each other and a upcoming Junior/Senior Prom and I plan to take her.
I know these things are personal to say, but Its something all of us deal in life.
Do you guys had the same experience too?

Firmware upgrade for WNR2000v3
I had been using firmware 22.214.171.124 with no issues, with 2 ipads, 2 iphones, a Windows 7 netbook, a Windows 8 laptop, and a wireless printer. [ A Windows XP laptop (permanently disabled) had been getting disconnected and sometimes reconnecting with no security with this firmware, but then it would change to a secure connection within a few seconds, this was wireless. The XP laptop was not having this issue with a Linksys router, only with the Netgear.]
I connected by ethernet to the router with the Windows 8 laptop and logged in to the router's settings, using Firefox. (Apparently I should have used IE.) I chose to upgrade the firmware through the router's interface. Everything seemed to be going well and I saw the router reboot. However, the browser froze after that. After quite a while of waiting, I refreshed the page. The router showed the new firmware.
After that, the Windows 8 laptop, which had never, ever had any problems with wireless connection on a Linksys router for several months in another location as well as for a few days with the Netgear with the old firmware, started losing its wireless connection once in a while. Several times in the past 24 hours I have had to run the Windows troubleshooter to reset the wireless adapter in order to re-establish the connection. I rebooted the router, using the button on the back of the router at the bottom to power it off and then back on. This didn't seem to help.
I went to the Netgear website and downloaded the firmware for both 126.96.36.199 and 126.96.36.199. I connected the Windows 8 laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, logged in to the router's settings, and manually re-installed 126.96.36.199, using IE this time. It appeared that everything went smoothly. I decided to try rebooting the router using the router's settings in IE. I watched as the router rebooted. However, the page seemed to get 'stuck' on telling me to wait while the router restarted, although the router actually had restarted and, in fact, all devices were back online...while this page continued to tell me to wait. I tried again, same result.
I've seen references to doing a factory reset after upgrading the firmware, but would that not restore the router to original factory settings, including the firmware? This does not make sense to me.
Since I have done the second installation of the new firmware, my Windows 8 laptop has not lost wireless connection, although I'm not ruling out the possibility that it still might.
The Netgear support pages don't seem to be really definite about the necessity of doing a 'factory reset' after upgrading the firmware, it seems to be either optional or not mentioned at all.
So my questions are:
What is meant by a 'factory reset', and how would that be done? Is it by pushing the recessed button on the back of the router? And would that not wipe out the firmware upgrade?
Is powering down the router and powering it back up enough to complete the installation? Again, Netgear's support pages aren't very definite about that.
And are there known issues with firmware 184.108.40.206 and Windows 8? I am wondering why only one device in my network was having problems.
Re: Firmware upgrade for WNR2000v3
Once firmware is flashed, hard reset will ALWAYS restore to last flashed firmware as original firmware until you revert to older firmware version
Power down/up what we called power cycle and does NOT as same as hard reset using pin button.

This invention relates to semiconductor devices and to methods of fabrication thereof, and more particularly relates to trench isolation structures and the method of forming.
It has heretofore been known to use trench isolation to improve the oxide isolation scalability in bipolar processes. For example, reference is made to the article entitled, "U-Groove Isolation Technology for High Density Bipolar LSI's", Jap. J. Appl. Phys., 21, Suppl. 21-1, pp. 37-40, 1981, by Y. Tamaki, et al. In addition, trench isolation has been used in the manufacture of MOS devices, as described in such articles as "Trench Isolation Technology for MOS Applications", Proc of the First International Symposium on VLSI Science and Technology, pp. 339-346, 1982, by S. Y. Chiang, et al. Further, trench isolation has been advantageously used to suppress latch-up in bulk CMOS devices, as reported in such articles as "Deep Trench Isolated CMOS Devices", IEDM Tech. Dig., pp. 237-240, 1982, by R. D. Rung, et al.
Isolation trenches have conventionally been fabricated by the etching of deep, narrow trenches located to separate such areas as PMOS and NMOS regions. The sidewalls of previously developed trenches have then been oxidized to provide dielectric isolation and the trench refilled with a conformal undoped polysilicon deposition, which is planarized to leave polysilicon only inside the trench. Finally, a field oxide is grown on top of the trench and field regions to cap the polysilicon and to provide transistor-to-transistor isolation.
While previously developed trench isolation processes have provided improvements in oxide isolation scalability and in the suppression of latch-up, problems have occurred due to dislocations formed in the semiconductor body during the fabrication of the trench. These defects or dislocation of the semiconductor material allow high leakage current detrimental to semiconductor devices. A need has thus arisen for a trench structure and a method of fabrication which eliminates the formation of defects in the surrounding semiconductor body.
In accordance with the present invention, a trench structure and method of forming is provided which substantially reduces or eliminates the defects previously associated with prior trench structures.
In accordance with the invention, a method of forming an isolation trench includes forming a trench in a semiconductor body. A stress relief layer of insulating material is formed over the interior walls of the trench, the layer being sufficiently thin to prevent defect generation in the semiconductor body. An oxidation masking layer such as nitride is formed over the layer of insulating material. The remaining area of the trench is then filled with a body of isolation material such as oxide or polysilicon. A layer of field oxide is formed over the semiconductor body and the filled trench in order to provide transistor-to-transitor isolation.
In further accordance with the present invention, a second layer of oxide may be formed over the oxidation masking layer. A second layer of oxidation masking material such as nitride is formed over the second layer of oxide. The trench is then filled with oxide or polysilicon.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, an isolation trench is formed in the semiconductor body. A stress relief layer of insulating material such as oxide is formed on the interior walls of the trench. This stress relief layer may have a thickness in the range of from 200 Å to 450 Å to prevent stressing of the walls of the trench introduced by a subsequent oxidation masking layer. An oxidation masking layer such as nitride is formed over the stress relief layer to prevent undesirable oxidation of surfaces on either side of the oxidation masking layer. An isolation body such as polysilicon fills the remaining area of the trench. A layer of field oxide covers the semiconductor body and the filled trench. Field oxide may be formed at a temperature of above 1000� C. in order to further reduce defect generation.
For a more detailed description of the present invention and for further objects and advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a prior art isolation trench;
FIG. 2 is a sectional, somewhat diagrammatic view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a sectional, somewhat diagrammatic illustration of a second embodiment of the present isolation trench invention.
FIG. 1 is a somewhat diagrammatic sectional view of an isolation trench formed in accordance with a prior technique. The trench structure in FIG. 1 is formed in a semiconductor body in order to isolate a P-type well region 10 and an N-type well region 12. The P and N regions are formed over a P- layer 14 and a P+ layer 16 as illustrated. The trench structure includes a relatively deep and narrow trench 18 formed by etching or other techniques. By utilization of conventional selective oxidation, a sidewall oxide 20 is formed only on the sidewalls of trench 18, along with a botton layer 21. The trench is then refilled with conformal undoped polysilicon 22. The polysilicon is planarized at 24 to leave polysilicon only inside the trench. A layer of field oxide 26 is then grown over the top of the trench 18 and the polysilicon 22.
As may be seen by FIG. 1, the prior technique has often produced defects from several mechanisms. For example, the oxide layers 20 and 21 are often formed with a thickness of from 1500 Å to 2000 Å. This thickness of oxide has been found to create stress at the corners 28a and 28b of trench 18, thereby creating defects or dislocations, generally identified by the numerals 30, which extend in the P- and P+ regions 14 and 16 outwardly from the trench corners. The stress at corners 28a-b is caused by volume expansion during oxidation of the trench corners which tends to squeeze or press against the adjacent substrate 16. The defects 30 may cause excessive current leakage which substantially deteriorates the operational characteristics of the semiconductor device.
Additional defects may be created upon the formation of the field oxide layer 26 over the trench. Nonuniformity of the oxidizing surface, combined with the lack of stress relief of the field oxide grown at 900� C., has been determined to be a source of defects or dislocations in the semiconductor body generally identified by numerals 32. The defects 32 emanate from the upper portion of the trench 18 in contact with field oxide layer 26.
Yet another source of dislocations which occur with prior techniques is the excessive encroachment of oxide on the exposed silicon surfaces on both the P-region 10 and N-region 12, as well as the upper surfaces of the polysilicon 22. This oxidation, in essence, creates a vertical bird's beak identified generally by 34a and 34b. The confinement of the volume expansion associated with the bird's beak oxidation also tends to create the dislocation and defects 32.
FIG. 2 illustrates a trench construction which substantially eliminates the formation of defects or dislocations 30 and 32, as well as reducing the formation of the vertical bird's beak structure into the trench. The trench shown in FIG. 2 is initially constructed by forming a trench 36 by etching or other conventional techniques. For example, the etch mask pattern for the trench 36 may be defined in an oxide layer (for example, thermal or CVD oxide) formed on the substrate surface, which is used as a hard mask for an etch and a chlorine-based reactive-ion-etching process with a silicon-to-oxide etch ratio of about 15:1. Trench 36 has dimensions similar to previously developed trenches and may be provided with a depth of from about 3 to 10 microns, depending on epilayer thickness. The width of the trench may range from 0.5 micron to 2.5 microns, depending upon its intended use. After removal of the hard mask, a relatively thin layer of oxide 38 is formed on the inside sidewalls and bottom of the trench 36, as well as over the upper face of regions 10 and 12. The thickness of the oxide layer 38 may range, for example, from 200 Å to 450 Å. It has been found that by forming such a thin layer of oxide, the stresses which heretofore created the defects 30 tend to be eliminated.
A thin oxidation masking layer 40 of nitride is then formed over the entire oxide layer 38 by conventional LPCVD techniques. Oxidation masking layer 40 may have, for example, a thickness of from 300 Å to 600 Å. The nitride layer protects the substrate and the subsequent polysilicon refill from oxidation which is the cause of the vertical bird's beak 34a-b. The nitride layer 40 also tends to reduce electrical cross talk between the P well 10 and N well 12 because of its insulating properties.
The trench 36 is then refilled with thick oxide or undoped polysilicon 42. If refilled with oxide, the upper portion of the oxide 42 is planarized to the silicon surface, the previously applied nitride on the surface of the substrate is stripped, and a thick field oxide layer 44 is grown. If refilled with polysilicon, then a cap oxide 43 may be grown either before field oxide layer 44, or simultaneously with the thick field oxide.
It has been found advantageous to grow the field oxide at temperatures above 1000� C., and preferably at 1050� C., to allow viscous flow of oxide, which tends to provide stress relief and prevents the formation of defects. Moreover, the thin oxide layer 38 and nitride layer 40 eliminate stress at the bottom corners of the trench during the sidewall oxide formation by minimizing confined volume expansion at the trench corners. Stress occurring from vertical bird's beaking at the top corners of the trench is reduced during the field oxidation and cap oxidation with the use of the oxidation masking layers. The present invention has thus been found to form trench isolation structures which are essentially defect-free.
When the trench is refilled with polysilicon, FIG. 3 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention which prevents vertical bird's beaking and also reduces defects, and further reduces electrical cross talk. In this embodiment, wherein like numbers will be utilized for like and corresponding parts of previous Figures, the trench 36 is formed in the manner previously described and is coated with a thin layer of thermal oxide 38 which has a thickness of from 200 Å to 450 Å. A thin layer of nitride 40 is then deposited as previously disclosed and may be provided with a thickness of from 300 Å to 600 Å. A layer 46 of oxide is then formed over the nitride layer and may be provided for example with a thickness of 1000 Å. The oxide layer 46 may be deposited by conventional LPCVD techniques. Due to the nitride layer 40, the oxide layer 46 cannot be grown but must be deposited. Oxide layer 46 serves to increase the dielectric thickness to insulate the polysilicon layer. A second layer of nitride 48 is then formed on top of the oxide layer 46 and may be provided with a thickness of approximately 300 Å.
The remaining portion of the trench is then refilled with polysilicon 50. The polysilicon is planarized even with the semiconductor surface, the nitride, oxide, nitride stack is removed from the substrate surface not inside the trench, and a cap oxide 52 and a thick field oxide 54 is grown, preferably at temperatures above 1000� C. The structure shown in FIG. 3 provides improved cross talk elimination due to the increase of insulator thickness by the addition of oxide 46 and nitride 48. The structure shown in FIG. 3 also provides essentially a defect free trench construction.
It will thus be seen that the present invention discloses a method and device formed thereby wherein defects and resulting current leakage is substantially eliminated. In addition, the present device substantially reduces cross talk. The present techniques also tend to eliminate vertical bird's beak structures which tend to create stress and dislocations.
Although the preferred embodiments have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

A Chinese team took the fourth place as the second stage of Moscow Tank Biathlon wrapped up on Tuesday, as Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan are top three, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
In Tuesday's competition, the Chinese team won the third place in racing, grasping the fourth place in the overall ranking after the second stage.
China's self-designed and -manufactured 96A tank holds the record that all its shots hit targets in shooting competition; however, it fell behind its group rival the Russian team by a few seconds in racing, as Russian tank's engine is more powerful.
"It feels good overall. The driver has done a very good job," said Hou Peng, head of a tank crew of the Chinese team.
"The Russian tank boasts 1130 horsepower, over 300 more than ours. So it accelerates fast. We can only make up for the engine weakness by using our advantage, shooting."
According to Russian media, quite a few Russian T72 tanks are installed with high power engine.
Teams from 12 countries Angola, Armenia, Belarus, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, Serbia and Venezuela are competing for the title this year at the Alabino Firing Range.
China brought four 96A tanks for the competitions while other countries use T-72 tanks that the host country provided.
Inaugurated last year by the Russian military, the Tank Biathlon pits tank crews against one another in a series of individual races over obstacles including rivers and mine fields, followed by sprint and pursuit challenges.
The third stage is scheduled to kick off on Thursday.
And the top four teams will then compete in a relay race on Aug. 16 to determine the winner.

Wellness program strengthens National City employees
This year Amedee said the committee plans to hold a health fair, encourage employees to participate in a "This year I Will" campaign and tour Olivewood Gardens to learn how to grow their own food and eat healthier meals, among other things.
Currently 40 employees are participating in a 90-day weight loss challenge.
The city's wellness budget for the 2013/14 fiscal year includes $10,000 from Kaiser and $10,500 from the city.
Councilwoman Mona Rios thanked Amedee for putting the program together.
"I remember as an employee negotiating $25,000 to renovate that gym for some of the other interests the employees wanted desperately to have happen," she said.

I got a chance to have fun with a relative of mine on a lustful night unexpectedly and how i enjoyed her body with a mixed feeling of excitement and fear.
I was gently sucking her nipples, teasing them with my fingers. This sensation was new to her and she just could not take it. She was moaning seductively.
She pulled me closer & started kissing me like she hasn't kissed a man in million years. Without saying anything she pulled my pants down & started to stroke my dick.
Now she was only in her bra and panties. Harshdeep opened her bra. He put her nipple to his mouth and sucked. He was a bit too surprised to find milk in his mouth
Now she was sleeping with her head very close to my zip and had crossed her legs showing a full view of her sexy milky slim thighs. I noticed that her thighs were well toned, no extra fat n totally hair free.
I started massaging her ass crack, she jerked! Before I could do anything, she changed her position & slept on her back. I was freaking out
Jai moved from on top of me and positioned himself side ways ,I was thinking in my mind " What now". Then I felt something entering my pussy and it was Jai's penis.
I raised trembling fingers to mom's half-covered body and pulled the sheets back, hoping it wouldn't wake her.

Today, we should get a glimpse of how the bye week has helped Andre Gurode.
I just hope Lee, Jimmy, Chris, and Ben are closer to returning in a week or two
Frustrating injuries.
So this is how u do it here at 27x7...... :banana: Go Ravens!!!:ww:
James Casey being out for the Texans is kinda big.
Good to see Reed and Ellerbe back and Nak seems to have recovered fast!
Nice to get Ellerbe, David Reed, and Nakamura back.
I actually think Carr, Jimmy, and Grubbs aren't too far off from 100%...our secondary been lights out with Cary and Webb, so rushing Carr and Jimmy back wouldnt make sense.
Gurode has been ok as the RG, but I would have liked to see Grubbs get back in there.
30 mins to go, can't wait to see the Ravens back in action... bye weeks are a blessing and a curse
I was really hoping Lee Evans would be back. I hope he is getting close. I know high ankle sprains can be bad. I can't wait to see him and Jimmy Smith on the field again.
Go Ravens!!!
I hope we get to see Lee Evans healthy this season.
IIRC ... The Ravens are undefeated vs. the Cowboys and Texans.
And in a few hours, that will still be the case.
Let's mess with Texas!
Let's get this started...
Go Ravens--light it up at M&T........
Oh no
The Dorf.......
Hou won the toss, and will receive.
I like it, let's our D start out strong plus we get the ball first in the 2nd half.
anyone know where to watch online??

Some of the best young vocalists in the country have called Lexington home, albeit temporarily. The University of Kentucky Opera Theatre Program has earned respect across the country.
While the University of Kentucky is probably best known nationally for its basketball program, an argument can be made that its opera program isn't that far behind Wildcat basketball in terms of national recognition and recruitment of students.
The lineup for the 2012-13 Broadway Live series was announced this week during the annual season preview event at the Lexington Opera House. The Thursday event showcased local talent who performed excerpts from top national touring productions that have been booked for the coming season.

The German bank reported record-beating performance in commodities trading in the third quarter as it snatched business from rivals despite some of the sharpest falls in prices since the 2008-09 financial crisis.
Loading article content
However, the performance in commodities trading failed to prevent Deutsche Bank's corporate banking and securities division seeing a 93% drop in pre-tax profits to just €70 million – its worst three months since it made a loss at the end of 2008.
City traders say Deutsche trails only big US investment banks Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan and is on par with Morgan Stanley and Barclays.
Goldman is one of the world's biggest commodities traders and has strong position in dealing oil futures.
The Frankfurt-based bank has reported its best-ever third quarter in commodities trading in July-September, which followed its best-ever second quarter for April-June and its second-best quarter ever in the first quarter of 2011.
Deutsche Bank's outstanding performance this year was in sharp contrast with most of its rivals, which reported weaker contributions and reduced risk exposure to commodities.
"Commodities delivered its best third-quarter revenues ever, driven by good performances in precious metals, oil and gas," Deutsche said in its third- quarter report, adding that commodities also generated record nine-month revenues.
The head of Deutsche's commodities trading, David Silbert, told Reuters in an interview the bank expected yet further growth in its commodities business, which includes oil.
Commodities fall into two categories – hard and soft and are generally priced in dollars. Hards include industrial metals such as iron ore, copper, zinc and lead.
Softs are predominately agricultural products such as sugar, coffee, rubber, grains and pork bellies. Trading can be highly volatile with millions of dollars at stake.
Commodity markets suffered some of their biggest drops in years during the third quarter as worries about the European debt crisis escalated and the dollar surged against the euro.
The European debt debacle, which is weighing on many of Europe's banks, is spilling over into commodities trading with French banks, the main financiers of trading houses, curbing their lending.
BNP Paribas and a handful of other European banks, including Societe Generale and Credit Agricole, provide most of the credit lines that underpin the business of the Swiss- based traders that dominate commodities markets.
Trade finance is a huge business, with lending at $114bn in the first nine months, down 6% year-on-year.
Industry executives said that as the banks have to bolster their capital buffers, credit to the trading industry is becoming scarcer and costlier, particularly in dollars, the currency of the global commodity markets.
Meanwhile, signs that China, one of the world's largest consumers of raw materials, may no longer be counted on to bump up demand for industrial metals such as copper, iron ore and other commodities, also sent many investors in the asset class scrambling to get out of commodities.
Copper, for example, lost a third of its value in the third quarter and then rebounded by nearly 20% since then.
Among the Wall Street heavy-hitters, Morgan Stanley generated higher revenue from commodities in the third quarter as it piled on more trading risks. Combined revenue from its fixed income, currencies and commodities division (FICC) rose to $3.9 billion from $2.1bn in the second quarter and $847 million a year ago.
Wall Street-based Goldman, which posted a third-quarter loss, said its commodities business generated more revenue than in the second quarter although it had to sharply reduce its risks.
Bank of America/Merrill Lynch posted a third-quarter profit but said its FICC division suffered from weaker client activity and adverse market conditions.
JP Morgan said its third- quarter profit fell, blaming a poor showing in its FICC unit.
Swiss bank UBS, whose commodities trading mainly focuses on precious metals, said it had positive contributions from its commodities business during the third quarter.
Oils and gas major BP also said it had a higher contribution from gas marketing and trading and a stronger supply and trading contribution from oil and products.
Deutsche did not disclose revenues in commodities trading, but said it helped offset an otherwise mixed performance in sales and trading.
Its equities trading was affected by volatility, and credit trading experienced losses due to widening spreads, while foreign exchange trading brought in record third-quarter revenues due to significant exchange rate movements.
As a result, third-quarter net revenues from corporate banking and securities fell 38% year-on-year to €2.6bn.

I don't want to make anyone mad but whenever I cook up a little rant on an old ride or something, I feel the urge to post it. Please don't get mad.
Everyone thinks Rocket Jets should go back up to the platform. I do NOT totally agree, but I do NOT disagree really either.
I just wonder: How many adults, without kids, besides nostalgia hounds (like people here - NO OFFENSE!), are really going to bother riding it? I can understand: awesome view, sense of motion, more exciting than your average spinner, but still - it's a children's ride.
The Observatron is very, very ugly. I do not like it at all. It looks so awful compared to the rather pristine Rocket Jets. I just think that people miss having something not ugly up there rather than missing the actual ride (which, despite the high-up thrill, is still kiddie).
I think the platform would look totally fine with some sort of white, futuristic pylon like Space Mountain's. It would look totally clean, and add a focal point.
The thing about kinetics in the distance makes sense, but it's a bit outdated. Most people come to Disneyland rushing to a ride. I don't think they really care if something is moving in the back or not. They'll run to the ride, period, and they really don't care.
The general public probably doesn't care that the Observatron is functionless and a piece of junk. They will rush to whatever ride they want without worrying "why isn't that moving?".
I am not attacking anyone here. I think Astro Orbiter looks nice but is awful because it adds alot of congestion. Still, that thought is a bit overrused. Seriously. The entrance is more clogged than before, but it's not *THAT* bad.
All in all, I think that if the Rocket Jets don't go back up, and the Orbiter remains at the entrance, simply widening the paths a bit at the entrance will solve the problem.
I'm sorry if I made anyone mad with this thread. I had to let it out.

Made to the same high standards as all of our furniture, each one of our upholstery frames is built to last.
Kiln-dried, engineered hardwood
We use kiln-dried, engineered hardwood in all of our upholstery frames. Often used for structural beams, engineered hardwood is made by pressing thin layers of solid wood together. Kiln-drying removes moisture, minimizing seasonal expansion and contraction. This stable hardwood material resists warping and cracking for lasting durability.
Reinforced joinery
We reinforce every joint in our frames for added stability. Precision-cut parts interlock like puzzle pieces and are reinforced with eco-friendly glues, screws or staples and corner blocks. Reinforced joinery ensures your seating holds together, even with years of frequent use.
Sinuous coil
A sinuous coil suspension consists of s-shaped metal springs that are stretched across the frame. The coils are securely attached with clips that allow the metal to flex while still remaining supportive. Because each coil is independently attached to the frame, you'll barely feel it when someone sits down next to you.

Customer comments about Easton 91" Guest Select Queen Sleeper Sofa:
Beautiful, low profile couch. It was a little lower in the store because they didn't have the pull out on display, so we're hoping that over time the pillows sink in a bit more. It does need a lot of throw pillows since the arms are so low profile, but these are small thing to worry about. Tons of room, ink is a great color, and the bed works well so that your guests are not on the floor.

Customer comments about Easton 91" Guest Select Queen Sleeper Sofa:
We were very excited to get a stylish sleeper sofa and spent a long time at the store considering our options. We settled on the Easton because of the styling and its nice (large) size. We were cautioned it might be firmer than the couch-only model. However the cushions on the sleeper model seem considerably higher than the floor model as well. I am just 5'4" and the couch that arrived looks great but is pretty tall for me. Just take note of this difference when you are checking out the sleeper models at the store.

Ahoskie Cinema 4
127 Main Street E,
No one has favorited this theater yet
As a single screen house, the Earl Theater was operated by H.P. Howell and his Howell Circuit in the early-1960's. The theater was later twinned and renamed the Earl Cinema. By 2014 it had been renamed Ahoskie Cinema 4.
Recent comments (view all 3 comments)
I did the retro work in this theatre back in the 90's. The original was split to a twin and then later the balcony was split from the down stairs theatres creating 2 new auditoriums upstairs.
This is now the Ahoskie Cinema 4.
This was owned and operated at one time under Martin Theatres(when it was labeled the Earl Twin) and later on under Carmike Cinemas(when the name changed to the Carmike Cinema 4)before it was dropped in the 1990's.
This theatre is now independently owned and operated.

The Reds are on the verge of a blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Indians that would bring outfielder Shin-soo Choo and utility infielder Jason Donald to Cincinnati in exchange for CF Drew Stubbs and shortstop prospect Didi Gregorius.Choo will be a free agent after the 2013 season and will make roughly $7.5 million via arbitration this coming season. So, it's a one-year rental for the Reds until prized prospect Billy Hamilton is ready to take over as the leadoff hitter and centerfielder in 2014.That's right, even though Choo has been strictly a RF since briefly playing some CF in 2009, the Reds are bringing him to Cincinnati to play center and fill the leadoff hitter void. I like this deal very much. Stubbs is worthless in my book. It hurts to give up Gregorius, but the Reds believe Zack Cozart is the long-term answer at SS and I can live with that.I'll update this when the deal is official, but right now it looks like a good day for the Reds.

Discover the power shortcuts the pros use to navigate PowerPoint 2010 with ease. Author Alicia Katz Pollock shows how to customize views, work with text, format slides, and publish your final presentation. The course also includes her top 10 tips for working with presentations, including autofitting text, creating custom bullets, and using shapes to mask images and video.
For maximum wow factor, consider placing your image or video inside a shape, so that instead of a rectangle, it looks like a diamond, a heart, or other appropriate form. We're going to work down on Slide 11, and we'll start by inserting a shape into the slideshow. I'm going to go to the Insert tab and click on Shapes. I'm going to insert a heart down here under Basic Shapes. I hold the Shift key down, so that as I click and drag the heart stays proportional. While the heart is selected, I'll go up to Drawing Tools and Format. Here I have a button for Shape Fill, I'll click on it and come down here to Picture. I'll navigate to my Exercise Files/Chapter 1/images and here I have a picture of a couple looking at our art.
I'll double-click on it and now it inserts itself into the shape. After your shape is filled with an image, you can continue to stylize the media with borders and other shape effects, as we'll describe later in this course. To apply this effect to a video, it works just a little bit differently. I will go to Slide 10, here I have a video, we'll play it in a little while. I'll click on it and now I have a Video Tools Ribbon, I'll click on Format, and this button right here says Video Shape. When I dropdown the gallery, I'm going to look over here to the Basic Shapes and find this teardrop. It's important, again, to find a shape that matches the concept being expressed in the video.
Since SAMOCA features design, the teardrop gives it a little bit of interest, but it's not tacky. Now, some of these shapes may cut off your media though, so try and find one with a large center area. For example, we can't usually use the heart shape like we did on the image, because the photographer in the video will get cut off by the cleft in the middle. So I will click on this teardrop. Now to refine it a little further, look for a yellow diamond. Not all the shapes have them, but some do. When I click and drag it, it alters the shape subtly. Once I have my video in place, I'll play my slide, and I'll click on the video to start it.
(Jim Sugar: Photography was something that, from an early age, it felt right to me.) (Jim Sugar: And more importantly it made me happy. And one of the very--) I'll press Esc to stop the video, and press Esc again to go back to the Normal View. By inserting my images or playing my video inside a shape, it departs from the normal boring rectangles and allows me to further enhance the attitude of my presentation by choosing shapes relevant to my topic.

ive downloaded the brickblocker, extracted it, and none of the programs work.
i get strange errors, involving network issues./corrupt files.
huh? can you give the errors?
Think you need .net framework from microsoft. Not sure the exact name. Its under the customize tab on windows update.

Mario Galaxy USA
Mario Kart Wii USA
Mario Party 8 USA

2) Helps ensure that you have the right data to move forward with. There's hardly anything that can get in the way of doing business than restoring the wrong dataset after a problem and then realize you have to restore the data all over again.
Data deduplication is a data backup process that eliminates redundant data, therefore reducing the amount of data that needs to be backed up. And using data deduplication has many benefits. Less data to store often leads to lower storage costs, and efficient use of disk space often allows for longer disk retention periods.

I cannot count "point of view" films among the styles of film making for which I possess much tolerance. Aside from rarely being the least bit convincing as "found footage," relying as they do on the conceit that assorted people would continue to film an incident long after the extreme danger factor would move just about any human in the world to put down the camera and run, there's just not too much about them that I find appealing. They're too jittery, too shallow, too… well, obnoxious. The POV films I've seen to date have either proved to have remarkable little staying power (The Blair Witch Project, ground zero for this trend, was fun the first time when I knew nothing about it but becomes less impressive after that) or were simply unwatchable from the get-go (Diary of the Dead). Maybe if they spent less time on characters bickering and screaming "What is that???" while flailing a camera around, I would warm to them.

Return of the Vampire
In 1958, Dracula would return in name but not with the familiar face of cinema's best-known and most beloved Dracula, Bela Lugosi. Bela would return to the screen several times as a vampire, but never again as Dracula. So Dracula returned in Return of Dracula without Bela, and Bela returned in Return of the Vampire, without Dracula. Granted, Return of the Vampire pushes Bela's character, Armand Tesla, as close to Dracula territory as it possibly can without getting slapped with a lawsuit, but that's all part of the fun of vamping in the aftermath of Universal's 1931 landmark Dracula, to say nothing of the need to occasionally satisfy/pay the estate of Bram Stoker. And Dracula or not, Return of the Vampire feels like the legitimate sequel to Dracula, even if intellectual property says it isn't. Disentangled from all that, however, we are still left with an exceptionally enjoyable horror film with a unique setting and interesting lead character.
Return of Dracula
In the wake of the success of Universal's 1931 shocker Dracula, there were many attempts to continue and/or cash in on its success, but for one reason or another, Universal itself was never able to capitalize on Dracula the same way it did when it turned both Frankenstein and The Mummy (and later, The Creature from the Black Lagoon) into franchises. Even in the later monster team-up House of… films, Dracula was at best a supporting player, even when his name was in the title, and the vampire prince of darkness didn't really interact with the other monsters (or the main storyline). The fact that Dracula was so closely identified at the time with Bela Lugosi, and that Lugosi himself never returned to the role (at least in an official capacity), probably hindered Dracula from becoming the same sort of series as did the other Universal monsters. But where Universal failed, others were ready to step in and try to hitch their wagon to the Dracula gravy train…err, or some metaphor like that. Dracula liked gravy, right?
Zombies: The Beginning
Some great directors die in the midst of their career and leave behind an inadvertent final film that does not reflect the quality of their larger career. Few would argue, for example, that Family Plot is a fitting capstone for the career of Alfred Hitchcock, or that Stanley Kubrick's career was well served by having Eyes Wide Shut as his swan song or that Sam Peckinpah's career ended well with The Osterman Weekend. On the other hand, some director's die while working and leave behind a final film so stunningly perfect as their final statement that it seems hard to believe the whole thing wasn't planned by some benevolent supreme being. Had the legendary Bruno Mattei's life and career ended on any note other than Zombies: The Beginning, then truly this would have been a cruel and uncaring universe. But end with Zombies: The Beginning it did, and so Mattei departed this mortal coil via a film that is the perfect summation of everything he ever contributed to the world of cinema.
Masque of the Red Death
In 1960, American International Picture's "house" director Roger Corman convinced the notoriously cheap movie studio to pony up a little extra time and money (and color film) to produce Corman's attempt to capture the lush Gothic atmosphere of a Hammer horror film. Against their thrifty nature, the studio relented, allowing the ambitious and inventive director a staggering fourteen days to make Fall of the House of Usher. The resulting film, a landmark in American horror, is a necessarily narrowly focused affair — there are only four characters — but it's a fantastic accomplishment. The quick turn-around time and low budget is hardly evident. Every frame is stuffed with decaying Gothic opulence and vibrant color, and the talky nature and slow pace of the film never causes the narrative to drag, thanks almost entirely to the brilliant and tortured performance by Vincent Price. AIP's risky (for them) investment paid off. The film was a hit, and audiences used to seeing cheap black and white horror were dazzled by this sudden explosion of color and quality. When the dollars started pouring in, AIP gave the go-ahead to Corman for another film in the same vein. And another. And thus was born what's known as AIP's Poe Cycle, a series of consistently high-quality horror films based (extremely loosely at times) on the writing of Edgar Allan Poe (and, in one case, H.P. Lovecraft, but they sold it as Poe).
Death Spa
Oh Death Spa, what have you done? All those years I spent bad-mouthing slasher films from the 1980s, then you go and immediately make yourself one of my all-time favorite horror films by being one of the most cracked, absurd examples of horror film making one is likely to stumble across. It's probably because you actually have less to do with the American slasher films that permeated the horror scene during that prolific decade and instead can count yourself the peer of batshit insane Italian horror films from the same decade. You are less Jason Vorhees and Friday the 13th and more Lamberto Bava and Demons. I loved you when in the first five minutes you gave me Ken Foree in micro-shorts, full frontal nudity, and attempted murder by steam room. But then you just kept piling absurdity on top of insanity, so that by the time we got to the frozen flying eel, I was willing to pledge my very soul to you.
Terror on Tour
As we entered the 1980s and the dawn of the Reagan Years, we didn't have much to worry about. Other than a recession, the ramping up of terrorism in the Middle East, the threat of nuclear war with the Soviets, and people popping the collars on their Polo shirts, things were pretty cool. With nothing to occupy our national sense of anxiety, we retreated into the realm of made-up, silly crap over which to fret and wring our hands nervously. The primary focus of our societal outrage and terror: heavy metal music. And more specifically, the role Ol' Gooseberry played in its popularity. America's collective hysteria over Satan and his sinister ability to seduce impressionable youths and bohemians into the folds of his cloven arms began in the late 1960s when hippies started dabbling in Occultism, witchcraft, sex magick and the occasional murder of Sharon Tate.
If exploitation cinema can be traced to a single wellspring from which all its filth and fury flows, an argument can be made that said wellspring is Dwain Esper. Writer, producer, director, and all around impresario, Esper may not have made the first exploitation film. The silent era was rife with exploitation and sleaze, usually masquerading under a flimsy veneer of "cautionary tale," like 1913's The Inside of the White Slave Traffic. I'd be willing to go to the mat, however, in defense of Esper's position as the godfather of the exploitation industry as we know it today. His impact goes far beyond being a mere director. Working with fellow exploitation godfather Louis Sonney (father of exploitation cinema legend Dan Sonney), Esper helped establish the network of theaters and concept of regional circuits that served as the foundation for the exploitation film. From burlesque to motion picture to roadshow, Esper had a hand in all of it, and for that, his name should be forever enshrined as one of the true pioneers in the history of the motion picture (it's not). But even if he'd never done any of that, even if all he'd ever done is direct Maniac — known also by the slightly less sensation title of Sex Maniac — he would still deserve to go on the Mount Rushmore of strange film. Incidentally, the Mount Rushmore of strange film is located in an abandoned central Florida amusement park, and it's made of fiberglass.
The Kindred
This is another one of those fragmented movie memories for me, where the only thing I could remember about it was "Amanda Pays turns into a fish" — and even that I eventually convinced myself happened in Leviathan. But when I rewatched Leviathan and discovered that Amanda Pays does not turn into a fish at any point, protected as she was by the power of Peter Weller's rolled bandana headband, I knew I had to figure out which film it was where she did turn into a fish. Luckily, you type "Amanda Pays turns" into Google, and the first auto-complete that comes up is "Amanda Pays turns into a fish." Internet, you are truly a good friend. So anyway, it turns out it was The Kindred, and since I was on a fishy underwater monster movie kick and couldn't remember anything about this one, I decided to track it down (surprisingly difficult) and see what else happens besides the woman who dated both The Flash and Max Headroom turning into a fish. Turns out not much.
Dawn of the Mummy
Many films focus on the glamour of the modeling industry, but it seems that it's only the horror genre that concerns itself with its dangers. Movies like Horror of Spider Island and Bloody Pit of Horror have shown us how, time and again, models and those charged with tending to them have been called upon to place themselves in harm's way, like soldiers at the front. And perhaps no more credible presentation of that reality can be found than in 1981's Dawn of the Mummy — even if that film also asks us to believe that an American fashion magazine would bankroll a whole crew traveling to Egypt just to shoot dresses that look like old lady nightgowns.
