The road has been closed since Thursday following a landslide and drivers have been diverted onto the nearby Old Military Road.
The helicopter was used to lift equipment up on to the hillside where specialist contractor Georope has been working to secure the embankment.
Work is due to continue this week to stabilise the hillside and it is expected the diversion will remain in place.
A spokesman for Bear Scotland, which oversees the route, said: "This work has been put in place by Transport Scotland to help reduce the risk of delays and road closures due to landslips at the Rest and Be Thankful and help support the local economy as a result."

"This Service Pack requires the machine to be on AC Power before setup starts" error message when you install Windows XP Service Pack 2
Article ID: 883609 - View products that this article applies to.
When you try to install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you may receive the following error message:
This Service Pack requires the machine to be on AC Power before setup starts.
This error message may occur if you try to install the service pack while your computer is running on battery power. The Windows XP SP2 Setup program requires that your computer use AC power. If the battery power runs out during the update, the update cannot be completed.
To resolve this issue, connect your computer to an AC power source such as an electrical outlet. For more information about the power requirements for your computer, contact the computer manufacturer.
The installation of the service pack stops at this point because the actual program that is responsible for starting the service pack installation has just started. Before this point, the cabinet extraction occurs automatically and is not under the control of the service pack installer program (update.exe). One of the first things the installer program does is to make sure that the power to the laptop will remain on throughout the whole installation. The installer program enforces this requirement by refusing to start the installation until it detects that AC power is connected to the portable computer.

This article is by editor Linda Vergon.
Part 1 is "What do you do if you can't make ends meet? (Part 1) "
There are so many people desperately trying to make ends meet and failing at it – whether because of their own failures or because of terrible misfortune. And it's hard. Still the problem remains that we must get through it, get past it so we, and everyone else in our lives, ultimately succeed. It's a problem made more difficult by our own inability to corral negative thoughts, change unproductive attitudes, or embrace new beliefs that could help improve our situation. Sometimes it's just not that easy to shake familiar habits and replace them with untried methods that have unknown results. Sometimes that's exactly what is necessary. Sometimes it takes being pushed against the wall.
Last week, we attempted to gather ideas from the community as a resource for anyone that is facing extreme financial hardship – and the ideas were great. This week, we want to look at what has to happen inside to make it through such a difficult time. Do you need encouragement or do you need to be pushed? What thought process guides someone out of these situations?
- You've lost your job
- You are living on the street
- You've been out of work for years
- Your health is compromised
Recognizing that it's never enough to simply pat someone on the back and offer a phrase or thought, how would you encourage someone in this situation? How did you manage your thoughts, change your attitudes, and find new beliefs that improved your situation?
Again, this is a broad topic, so as you comment, please indicate at the beginning of your comment what aspect you are addressing (add your own too) so it will be easy to search and find comments on topics that interest future readers… and thank you. Thank you for your generous support of other readers that happen to be struggling.
Best wishes,
GRS is committed to helping our readers save and achieve their financial goals. Savings interest rates may be low, but that is all the more reason to shop for the best rate. Find the highest savings interest rates and CD rates from Synchrony Bank, Ally Bank, GE Capital Bank, and more.

I've seen a lot of posts on using Genesis in Poser. I think that's great and all, but now I have a question that I'm not sure of. Is it possible to convert a Poser model into a Genesis figure? How would you go about doing it?
I'm not new to Daz or 3D, and I don't mind spending money when I have to, but I'd like to know if there is a way to do this—even if it means paying someone else to do it if it's not too expensive. The figure is not a standard figure so the Gen X option isn't available like it might be for some of the older figures, and most of what I've seen online doesn't tell me much about going from Poser to Genesis instead of going from Genesis to Poser.
I mean worse comes to worst, I can export the figure as an Obj, but I'm at a complete loss for what to do once you get it into Daz Studio. Any information you guys can provide would really be appreciated.

How marvelous that Borsato captures even the small flecks of color on this beautiful bird's colors! This is one of my personal favorites, although each Borsato I offer was lovingly purchased for my own collection. I had not intended to sell my Borsatos, but times do change....
The Lark is 3 and 1/2 inches tall
Excellent Condition.
Borsato porcelain sculptures are considered the cream of Capodimonte porcelain. The book Capodimonte Collectibles, published in 1990, presents a fascinating history of Capodimonte porcelain, and clearly indicates that some 20th Century artists were included in the term "Capodimonte." Antonio Borsato is featured over and over again as a prime example. His work is pictured on Pages 53, 58, 63, 64, 117, 118, 134, 139, and 153. His trademark (artist's palette) is also shown. This large and complete book outlines the original history, and the various trademarks used for this umbrella term; from unmarked pieces, to a fleur-di-lis in a circle, to the crown with the N, to more modern marks which this book includes the Borsato trademark. The world lost a great artist when Antonio Borsato was killed in an auto accident in 1982. Borsato worked endlessly to make each creation a melody of color and movement. Borsato originals are sculptured in the full-round with no blank surfaces, with the entire piece completely hand colored with brilliant artistry. All stages were attended to by Antonio Borsato himself. It is assuring to note that no Borsato was in mass production. Borsato is known as the Michelangelo of the 20th Century. His works are displayed in the Vatican, museums, and many significant private collections. He studied under the great Cacciapuoti early on, but many believe he far surpassed his mentor, becoming the greatest of the Capo-Di-Monte genre. Borsato works of art are irreplaceable just as are the works of other Old Masters. His impeccable faithful adherence to detail, a wisp of hair, facial expression, even eyelashes, gestures, whimsical humor, anatomical perfection, combine to endow each of Borsato's works with breathing realism. A Borsato art treasure is an exquisite masterpiece to be cherished as an heirloom for future generations.

Charlotte Moore Sitterly
|Charlotte Moore Sitterly
September 24, 1898
Ercildoun, Pennsylvania
|March 3, 1990(aged 91)
|Alma mater
|Henry Norris Russell
Bancroft W. Sitterly
|William C. Martin
|Notable awards
|Bruce Medal (1990)
Charlotte Emma Moore Sitterly (September 24, 1898 – March 3, 1990) was an American astronomer.[1] She won the 1990 Bruce Medal.[2]
Early Life and Education[edit]
Charlotte Moore was born to George W. and Elizabeth Walton Moore in Ercildoun, Pennsylvania, a small village near Coatesville. Her father was the Superintendent of Schools for Chester County and her mother was a schoolteacher. Her parents were Quakers and Charlotte was a lifelong member of Fallowfield Friends Meeting.[3]
She attended Swarthmore College, where she participated in many extracurricular activities such as ice hockey, student government, glee club, and tutoring. During this time she worked at the Princeton University Observatory and the Mt. Wilson Observatory. She graduated from Swarthmore College in 1920 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics and went on to Princeton to work as a human computer.[4]
While at Princeton, Moore's interest in astrophysics began to blossom. She worked at the Princeton University Observatory where she was accompanied by Henry Norris Russel. The two of them used spectroscopy to determine the wavelength where spectral lines appeared as well as researching double stars. After five years at Princeton, she moved to the Mount Wilson Observatory where she worked extensively on solar spectroscopy, analyzing the spectral lines of the Sun and thereby identifying the chemical elements in the Sun. Her pictures from the Mount Wilson Observatory helped redetermine the new International Angstrom scale. She earned a Ph.D. in astronomy in 1931 from the University of California, Berkeley on a Lick Fellowship. While working on her Ph.D, she continued researching spectroscopy and collected and analyzed data about the spectra of chemical elements and molecules. After obtaining her Ph.D, she returned to Princeton to work with Russell as a research assistant. She continued to collect data and made it widely available to physicists and astronomers around the world.[4]
One of her most significant contributions to physics was her identification of technetium in sunlight, the first example of technetium naturally existing. She joined the then National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in 1945.[5] Her tables of atomic spectra and energy levels, published by NBS, have remained essential references in spectroscopy for decades. Later in her life, it became possible to launch instruments on rockets and she extended her work to the ultraviolet spectral lines.
In 1949 she became the first woman elected as an associate of the Royal Astronomical Society of Great Britain, in honor of her work on multiplet tablets and in identifying solar spot electra. Throughout her career she authored and co-authored over 100 papers and attended the tenth general assembly of the International Astronomical Union on the Joint Commission on Spectroscopy in Moscow in 1958.[4]
Personal life[edit]
During her second stay at Princeton, she met and married, on May 30, 1937, Bancroft W. Sitterly, who became a physics professor. She continued to publish journals under her maiden name because most of her recognition was under that name. She believed that traveling is one of the most important aspects of a scientist's life, as it promotes collaboration between scientists. She enjoyed gardening, traveling, and music with her husband until his death in 1977. She served as the physics department head at American University for many years, and researched her genealogy of her mother's family in 1982. She worked until her death on March 3, 1990 from heart failure at the age of 91.[4]

Imperial War Museum hotels
Imperial War Museum
The Imperial War Museum in London offers free admission to visit this former hospital for the mentally fresh. Its name was Bethlehem Royal Hospital but over time "Bethlehem" morphed into "Bedlam" for the Eighteenth century visitors who would pay a penny to attend the "freak" show at the hospital. As civilization "evolved" so did treatment for these patients. As the need for this hospital diminished, this location on Lambeth Road, South Bank, in London became home to the Imperial War Museum, a place to recognize the impact of modern war. Transformation from a London hospital to the interactive museum is evident as you enter this powerful yet sensitive and thought-provoking establishment.
- Explore this munitions wonderland, alive with missiles, submarines, tanks, and planes hanging from the ceiling—children can climb into many cockpits and explore arcade-style touch-screens.
- Reflect at the galleries, which focus on the horrors and lessons of two World Wars, heroes of extreme courage, and mysterious figures leading double-lives as spies.
- Visit the London Imperial War Museum's third floor to experience the thought-provoking issues of the Holocaust and European society.
London is a very old city, almost like a museum unto itself, with the Imperial War Museum being one of the most interesting in the United Kingdom. This museum is only five minutes from the centre of London by road and approximately 2km by foot. There are as many tours as there are places to see, so feel free to expand your modes of travel from walking to cycling, taxi service to boat tours. See and do more by booking one of the many available tours that might include the London Imperial War Museum. Alternatively, transportation by Tube is a thrill you might enjoy.

Orias is topless and has her hands locked behind her back by a pair of hinged handcuffs. Her legs are padlocked together and secured to a bed leg. She copes with her situation by trying to get comfortable and take a nap. In the process she ends up giving us some great shots of her tight little body.
New babe Orias Bastet is in her underwear, a pair of handcuffs, leg shackles, and a ball gag. Her cuffs and shackles are secured to legs on opposite sides of the bed. She spends most of her time shifting around trying to find a comfortable position, but never seems to get comfortable.
Ashley is in leg shackles and handcuffs again. Her arms are secured to a chain wrapped tightly around the back of her chair, only now her hands are cuffed behind her back. This is an uncomfortable position for her and causes her to fidget around quite a bit. Since she's also topless, that makes for a nice view.
Ashley is still handcuffed and shackled in this scene. Now she's sitting in a chair with her upper arms secured to a chain that wraps tightly around the back of the chair making it impossible for her to get up or reach the clasp of her ball gag. I pan the camera around and get some good shots of her in this one.
Our friend Ashley Grace is back for more. This time she is in handcuffs and leg shackles, both of which are padlocked to belt loops on here tiny denim shorts.
Cali is now topless and has her hands cuffed together and chained to a leg of the bed. A spreader bar keeps her feet widely separated and, when combined with her hands being closely chained to a bed leg, makes getting off the bed a very implausible option. Fortuneately none of this keeps her from squirming around.
Here we have Cali handcuffed, gagged, and chained across the bed writhing around looking sexy.
You may recognize Cali Logan. She has appeared in Playboy magazine and starred in the video game "Maids With Balloons" just to name a few of the places you may have seen her. Well, now she's handcuffed and gagged in my bed.
I have Michelle Peters handcuffed and in leg restraints while I tickle her. Michelle hated this video. You'll love it.
Michelle Peters is sitting in my lap wearing a tiny skirt, a pair of handcuffs, and a pair of ankle restraints. This is the last video I plan on doing where I grope a girl without gagging her. I liked hearing Michelle's awkward attempts at banter while I played with her tits, but I think the videos work out better with the girls gagged. Either way, I think you'll enjoy seeing Michelle's cute little body get fondled.
This video has a very simple concept. I have Michelle Peters wearing nothing but a tiny skirt and a pair of handcuffs and I molest her.
Michelle Peters is on the floor chained in a hogtie position with a gag planted in her mouth, just the way I like her.
Michelle Peters is a girl I've been dying to get on this site. We get to see Michelle topless right from the start of this series. Here she is bound in a position that keeps her sitting on the floor with her hands cuffed above her head.
Here I have April chained to the chair so I can fondle her.
I handcuffed April's hands behind her back. In this video I grope her, peel off some of her clothes, grope her some more and repeat.
For this next video, I chained April to a bed and told her she would be like that for an hour. I actually let her go much sooner. I just wanted to capture her acting natural since she was very on edge in her first video. Here's the video.
I found a new girl named April and chained her to a wall.
This is a video where all the basics worked out great. Adrina has a great body, a great tan, I have her standing there in handcuffs, a gag, and ankle restraints. I fonlde her. There's nothing fancy going on, but the video turned out great.
I chained Adrina to a wall and fondled her.
Adrina is now chained to a bed wearing her cute shorts and a ballgag.
Ashley Graham and PXE are a couple of really fun girls who know each other pretty well. I had them dress up like french maids and tied them to each other.
I finally managed to catch Adrina for some more videos. In her first video of the next set I have her sitting on the floor with her wrists and ankles bound to opposite ends of a spreader bar and a gag in her mouth.
I handcuffed Zoe's hands behind her back. I secured her upper arms together with leather restraints to keep her more restrained and to make her breasts stick out more. I locked her ankles together and gagged her. You could see the awkwardness in her eyes if you manage to look away from her breasts long enough.
I found this college girl named Zoe. I gagged her, chained her to a wall, and fondled her.
Mai Mao is sitting in a chair topless. Her ankles are cuffed together. Her hands are cuffed in leather restraints that are padlocked to chains connected to a chain harness behind the chair. She is securely gagged. In this position Mai is completely unable to defend herself as I fondle the hell out of her nice tits.
Kendra is tightly bound to a bed as she gets relentlessly tickled by a masked man.
Bella gets molested by a masked man while she's all tied up.
This clip features Martina Warren (2005 Penthouse Pet of the Year) and Charlie Laine (February 2006 Penthouse Pet of the Month). In what may be my favorite clip, I fondle the hell out of these two Penthouse Pets. They start off the video wearing handcuffs, ankle restraints, and ballgags.
Kendra's thighs are seperated by a spreader bar. Her hands are tied to that same bar. She is gagged and collared.
Samantha Grace is handcuffed, shackled, and topless as I tickle torture her.
I knew Isobel was a kinky girl. When I did a shoot with Isobel I mentioned to her that I would be doing one with Candle Box later that day. She asked if she could stop by and molest her! Isobel was NOT paid for this scene, she showed up and did it because she wanted to. Candle didn't object either, but I usually keep girls gagged to make sure they don't.
Here we have Ashley Graham sitting on a foot rest in handcuffs and a ballgag. Her ankles are secured under the footrest so she can't get up.

Updated 11/15/2013
This affordable eatery doesn't cook or look like a franchise operation, although there are 23 North American locations. You can chalk the former up to the fact that it offers local delicacies, such as steamed mussels and Nova Scotia chowder, along with English-style pub staples. Moreover the heritage building that houses this restaurant is striking inside and out—the ornate 5-meter- (16-foot-) high ceilings are especially lovely. Due to its central location, the Elephant & Castle attracts an eclectic mix of politicos, office workers, and artsy Nova Scotia College of Art and Design students. Sitting mid-hill, it works well for weary tourists, too.

Mission Hills is located above Old Town on the rolling hills that overlook the harbor. 92103 is the zip code for many homes in Mission Hills. Houses and Condos in 92103 have views of the bay and of downtown San Diego. For Sale houses in 92103 start in the high $400,000 and go to multi-million dollars. The for sale condos in Mission Hills start in $200,000 and go up to the low $900,000. The area was home to many of San Diego's pioneers and many of the homes are historical. Architect Irving Gill designed many of the houses that are now lovingly preserved and renovated. There are California bungalows, craftsman homes, Spanish Revival and Mission-style homes and many other one of a kind residences.
Kate Sessions, the landscape artist for Balboa Park, started the Mission Hills Nursery over a century ago in the area and it still functions as the center of the neighborhood. Washington and Goldfinch Streets are the commercial center of the neighborhood and provide residents with shopping and services. Small cafes and specialty retail shops line the streets and offer unique goods.
Capt. henry Johnston used the area he called Inspiration Point to guide his ship, the SS Orizaba, into San Diego harbor. Eventually he bought that land, and his daughter built the first house in Mission Hills naming it Villa Orizaba. More homes quickly followed, and the area became an upscale neighborhood for early San Diego residents.
Houses range in price from moderate to estates and are not clustered strictly by price. Many homes have views of the entire harbor and city. Every Friday during the summer concerts are held in Pioneer Park. Other community activities include a street fair for local artisans, church and civic events

Your right, there is still demand, but without knowing better numbers, we don't know much beyond that.
Plus if this is just a return to the average, then you can't say that the new SKU had much of an impact. Andy made a compelling case.
It wasn't just a return to average though. Andy included June in his average (and also only included April and May and not anything else). It was well above that average, and above every month this year save the two surrounding Titanfall, which should be expected. And there's nothing going on as far as games. I'd say it did have an impact.

Complementation of the porin-deficient mutant strain M. smegmatis ML10 with porM1 and porM2. M. smegmatis ML10 was transformed with the control vector pMV306 (A), the mspA-containing plasmid pSSa100 (B), the porM1-containing plasmid pSRa102 (C) and the porM2-containing plasmid pSRa104 (D). After electroporation of the plasmids, dilutions of the transformed bacteria were plated onto Mycobacteria 7H11 agar with 25 μg ml-1 kanamycin and incubated for four days. Panel (E) illustrates the result of an independent experiment showing the time course of the appearance of the colonies on Mycobacteria 7H11 agar with 25 μg ml-1 kanamycin during four days after plating of a 1:10 dilution of the electroporated cells.

Governor Dayton has proclaimed this Emerald Ash Borer Awareness Week in Minnesota. The designation is part of a nationwide effort to raise awareness of the destructive nature of the tree pests, and to spread the word about the "Three P's of EAB" – Prepare, Protect, and Plant. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture urges residents and cities to prepare by knowing the signs and symptoms of infestations, and by being ready to act if their ash trees become infested. Options include removal or treatment. The department also advises Minnesotans to protect uninfested areas by not transporting firewood because the beetles can hitchhike from one location to another via firewood. Precautionary insecticide treatments are also an option. Finally, the department advises property owners to plant a variety of native trees.

Positive: 7 out of 11

Negative: 0 out of 11
The hipster moment may have faded fast through repression and attrition, but in Todorovsky's reading, it was crucially formative on today's Russian youth.
Feb 21, 2012The spirited young cast includes the luminous Oksana Akinshina, best known for her title role in Lukas Moodysson's devastating "Lilya 4-Ever," who still lights up the screen like few actresses in the world.
An over-the-top Russian musical about hipsters set in 1950s Moscow, where getting a non-pastel-colored tie is a mafia-mediated operation and a saxophone is considered a concealed weapon? Yes, please.
Hipsters is also kind of amazing, thanks to headlong enthusiasm and an endearing obliviousness to just how ghastly the whole thing keeps threatening to become.
Who knows if anything remotely resembling the culture of Hipsters really existed? It's a musical, after all. In any case this movie, which won the 2009 Nika (the Russian Oscar) for best picture, is an endearing curiosity that, at 125 minutes, is as badly in need of a trim as the hair of its comically coiffed dandies.
Hipsters is also a musical (in an intentionally naive "Absolute Beginners" vein), and while everything looks glinty and gorgeous, the story's political edge is dulled by excessive levity.
Although a massive hit at home, taking approximately $16 million at the wickets, this great-looking but tonally uneven pic won't jive with audiences quite so well anywhere else.

I had this in my Blade I (San Francisco). A small piece of paper solve it!
Random reboots
Posted 03 October 2013 - 06:56 AM
Posted 23 January 2014 - 05:44 PM
I think my zte blade 3 started rebooting after i updated touchpal keyboard to the latest version.
Newest touchpal gives "tips and hints" even if I'm not using it (maybe those cause the reboots?).
I uninstalled the update and haven't got a single reboot after that. Is anyone of you using the latest version of touchpal?...
