The solution for easy and instant loans is consolidate payday loans. People in this time and age rely on credit, on credit cards, on automobile loans, personal loans, real estate mortgage. Whatever that one earns is likely to be spent on returning borrowings in the form of monthly installments, and paying a little for clothes, food and entertainment. One is hardly able to save anything at all, and those who do save forgo their wants and desires.
Things that are a must for living, like cars, and houses, often require a hefty sum of money to be bought. If a person already has many bank loans to pay, then there is a tendency that the funding institutes would refuse to give him any further loans, so how is one supposed to pay for a car that he must drive to work every day, or his backyard that needs to be revamped because of certain sewage problems.
A person who needs cash urgently to fulfill his needs, probably requires a loaner who does not care much about his credit history, who does not care much about how many loans he has to pay back, and who transfers the required amount immediately to the borrower's bank account.
Payday loan dealers only require a proof of regular income, besides that the borrower only has to fill in a few details on his online application form. The application gets approved within twenty-four hours, and the funds are transmitted to the applicant's bank account number instantly.
There are no extensive long forms to fill, there is no waiting period for the loan to get approved, the borrower does not have to go through the hassle of finding people to sign as guarantors, and nor does he have to submit a collateral against the money that he borrows.
Consolidate payday loans are instant, easy and convenient mode of financing. There are hundreds and thousands of institutions on the Internet who grant such loans. These lenders mostly do not have an office, and are only based on the Internet.
The loan mechanics are simple, the borrower needs to pay a monthly sum of money as installment, and this sum is not very hefty and can be paid easily. It includes the amount borrowed which is called the principal and the percentage of interest, the interest paid is the fee for borrowing and it is the profit of the lender.
Many payday loan businesses have been criticized for levying a large percentage of interest, which is true; but the fact is that payday loans granting companies provide unmatched convenience to borrowers. They ask for loans to be paid back in very small amounts, this feature facilitates the borrowers, and in return for the services the creditors provide they charge interest. The borrower does not feel the pinch of paying back the interest, if he borrows intelligently, and if he operates within his means.
The fact is consolidate payday loans granting institutes have made profits and have prospered in the past years, but the capitalists have facilitated borrowers and have earned an income for providing unmatched money borrowing services to the working class of countries in the European Union, and other places like America, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Borrowers go back to these institutes every time they need credit because of the easy procedures and excellent features the loan comes with.

ABHIMAN KAUSHAL, tabla
NANDINI MAJUMDAR '10, tanpura
Narendra Mishra will play Hindustani or North Indian classical music through the four stages of a sitar concert: the alap or sensuous introduction that explores the ambience of a chosen raga; the jor or allegro; the gata or composed lyrical piece with a rhythmic accompaniment; and the jhala or virtuoso demonstration of a fast tempo.
Narendra Mishra began his sitar training with his father Pandit Mannu Lal Mishra and completed it under the sitar maestro Ustad Vilayat Khan. This training has been completely in the Indian classical music system of guru-shishya teaching, or one-to-one master-pupil training within a certain style called a gharana or school.
He will be accompanied on the tabla, the North Indian classical double drums, by Abhiman Kaushal. Kaushal, who teaches at UCLA, has accompanied renowned artists, and has performed extensively. Nandini Majumadar '10 will also provide accompaniment with the tanpura, a four stringed instrument used to create background harmony.
This concert commemorates the new period dawning in the USA, hopefully of peace and definitely of excitement! The combination of excitement and peace is the defining feature of Indian classical music, and equally, is true of India today.
The concert at 6:45 p.m. is free and open to all. For dinner reservations please fill out your reservation on the Athenaeum website http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/mmca/cur_reserve.php. CGU students will need to pay $10.00 for their dinner.

"Unique in the world:unrivalled views of Kenmare Bay, the McGuillicuddy Reeks and cascading Sheen waterfalls."Seamus Crotty, Maître de Maison, presents his property:
Surrounded by purple heather-covered mountains, Kenmare is one of the spots in Ireland that the Irish themselves like best. Sheen Falls Lodge is not only perfectly placed for exploring the southwest, the Ring of Beara, Ring of Kerry and the famous Killarney Lakes, but it is also known for its piano-jazz ambience, its collection of old Irish whiskeys, and the dishes prepared with the salmon caught in the nearby river. There are unrivalled views of Kenmare Bay, the McGuillicuddy Reeks and cascading Sheen waterfalls. All of this, combined with outstanding Irish hospitality and Celtic legends, creates a sense of magic that pervades.

This post is retarded, "kickstarter and how it will end pc gaming platform" are you even serious with that stupidity?
The responses defending the current practises are equally moronic. How is more or different ending anything number one, also every other post here is about "how teh WOW clones suxxors".
So themeparks are bad, sandboxes are bad, subscriptions are bad, pay to whatever models are bad, kickstarter is bad, any money changing hands is bad, 100% free charity made games are bad.
Seems to me game developers will see all the hasle involved with trying to please flakey new age gamers and decide making these games is bad.
Except for the garbage games, you will end up with tons of those until the mmorpg market is a wasteland of cheesy banner adds and reskined Korean data harvesters.

Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders - Friedrich Nietzsche
Kickstarter has it's ups and downs, of course.
There WILL be less then scrupulous people that use KS for personal gain and profit at the expense of others, of course. That is human nature.
There WILL also be some true success stories coming out of KS that couldn't have been done otherwise. As others here have said, the way the industry works atm, it's the big-wig exec's that control what we play, KS gives us a chance to change all of that. Is there risk? Of course there is, and if you aren't willing to take a risk, then please, do not support a KS drive.
For me, personally, I am willing to give someone like Mark Jacobs fifty beans for the chance to have his game, that I REALLY would love to play, made. Being a FULLY INFORMED ADULT, that is my decision to make.
I can't see how KS, or any crowd-funding projects could possibly lead to demise of the PC as a gaming platform. People have been falsely ringing the death-knell of PC gaming for many years now. First the Sega Dreamcast, with it's online gaming (which, admitadly was far ahead of it's time) signaled the end of PC gaming. Then, the PS2 and (the original) Xbox Live w/ their advanced hardware, and online infrastructures DEFINITELY meant that no one would ever use a PC as a gaming platform again. Of course the 360 and PS3 followed, which were basically PC's custom built exclusively for gaming, w/ PC-like online capabilities, and AGAIN people tried to ring that bell. Now, w/ this KS/crowd-funding "craze", PC gaming is certainly going to die b/c the big "AAA" publishers would feel that KS funded games would take too big a piece of their pie...
I understand the concern for your platform of choice, but I don't see how KS/crowd-funding could pose any sort of threat to anyone. And, as gamers, KS/crowd-funding gives us the opportunity to let OUR voices be heard, and make sure that games that we would love to play, actually have a CHANCE of getting made. Yeah, you could get scammed, or the game could never materialize, or whatever, like I said, if you don't like taking risks, don't support a KSer drive. But, if there's a game you'd really like to play, that you know the big "AAA" publishers would never take a chance on, and you are fully informed of the risk, and willing to take it, please by all means go for it.
Just look at the latest KS "success", a new Torment game! I loved Plaescape:Torment, but we all know that b/c it didn't make a mint for a publisher, we'd most likely never see a good Torment game again, but b/c of KS we will. I am hoping the same happens w/ Marc Jacobs new project...I've been hoping we'd get DAoC 2 for years. In fact, WAR should have been DAoC in a Warcraft skin (still say that would been a friggin awesome game if the devs didn't try to WoW-ify it), but since it wasn't, I'm backing CU.
You're fears are (somewhat) valid. But, just like everything else, it's a matter of risk vs reward, and can be a great opportunity to see games that, in the current state of gaming being controlled by "mega-publishers" like EA and Activision, just wouldn't be made otherwise. If there's a glut of money given to people that don't deliver what they say they will, then KS/crowd-funding will die-off. But even if that does happen, I don't see it ever taking PC gaming with it.

I think the common gamer will now finally understand how the big bad publishers feel. The reason they pull the plug in many cases is because the guy running the studio screwed up something bad with management of time and resources. I guarantee this will happen with more than 1 kickstarter project, what then? A few of you will continue to show faith and throw more money at them, but if enough of you don't you will be no better than the big bad publishers you hate.

I'm not a fan of kickstarter and what it's turning the industry into...
But right now, it seems people are up on this new craze. Yet.. they havn't havn't seen the fruit of thier loins yet.. and things might change once they do. Right now kickstarter if all about the 'if' but soon it will be all about the 'what' once some of the projects actually get finished. Then we'll know where kickstarter stands.
As for ruining PC gaming? I highly doubt it. With all the recent news about the next gen of consoles, PC gaming is seriously looking like the only gaming option where the majority of games arn't restricted in some way, be it online only DRM or dumbed down features due to lesser control schemes.

"what a boring life, HATING everything" -Gorilla Biscuits
The way i look it is, the PC platform used to be home to unique games catering to specific audiences. You'll be hard pressed to find those unique games in this current market, as just about every title goes for one of two audiences, the hardcore or the casual (yet they seek the mass within both groups rarely the niches). I see kickstarter as a -possible- avenue that travels back to those unique games of the past.

So I should just keep buying and supporting bad ports of console games that are limited by the out dated tech in the current gen of consoles that my gaming PC is many yers ahead of currently? I just wanted to understand the point of your post before I kick the soap box.

Kickstarter wont affect PC gaming much, but smart phones and tablets could put a severe dent in it.....The experts are already calling Windows 8 a failure and how that could lead to a couple of the industries giants going out of business.

I get how this is theoretically (perhaps even innocently) meant to derail Mr. Jacob's recent KS project with Camelot Unchained. However, this is a man with a solid resume' (Dark Age of Camelot)...he is also human, however (Warhammer), and has promised to meet and exceed the 2 million dollar minimum needed to get this project initially funded. He would not commit career suicide by making false promises, and, considering the state of the mmorpg these days, there is no RPG in the last few mmo's (arguably) and with the rise of mediocre basic meal mmo's with the same same 5 class race combos, I dare say Camelot Unchained is a kickstarter worth investing in.

"Playing things I shouldn''t be playing since 1977."
What is "a game?" Is it what it is, or is it whatever the developer wants it to be on a given day? Because if you are committed to the idea that what you pay for is what you should get, then the developments in the industry lately should have you a bit worried.
Remember. This is an industry that has redesigned games right out from under paying customers (SWG), closed games within months of announcing they were committed to the game long haul (CoH, Tabula Rasa), and failed to deliver what was advertised (Age of Mourning, Dark and Light). And this was before kickstarter, and this includes publishing houses that are marquee players (SOE, NCSoft).
Gamers have always relied on three things to keep them from being scammed:
1) The Retailer. Places like Gamestop and Best Buy are not going to put crap on their shelves, because when the crap is exposed as crap, the onus is going to be on the retailer to refund the product or exchange it. Therefore, buyers for the retail chains constitute a layer of protection for the consumer. Yet with digital distribution, this level of protection is cut out.
2) The Printed Rulebook. Printed rulebooks on how to play the game ensure that game changes are kept to a minimum. They are almost like a de facto "contract" between the producer and the consumer. Because if you change something fundamental (like combat controls), the rulebook provides some evidence that the game wasn't what you purchased that you could use to force a refund. These days, however, printed rulebooks are hard to find...probably exactly because they constrain the developer to keep the core game the same. Some may say that's a good thing, but for those who were ever NGE'd in this business, the lack of fidelity to the rulebook is tantamount to a bait and switch.
3) Professional Investors. Say what you will about "the suits," but these are people that, believe it or not, don't want crap either. But what makes them good for us is that they have the resources, muscle and expertise to do the sort of due dillegence we need. If you are a venture capitalist who throws half a million into a project, you are going to get your audit. You might even have your own independent auditor on retainer. You also have a kind of "fast track" hotline to the project head by virtue of your stake in the final product. When cost overruns happen or setbacks happen (which they always do), the professional venture capitalist will get the extra money out there quickly to fix the problem. And if the project needs some expertise, the venture capitalist will often provide this expertise, or have connections which will aid in development.
And it's this last point where Kickstarter is going to potentially hurt us.
Kickstart funders can't be compared with professional investors. They don't have the clout or ability to call an audit. You are going to be dealt with by their public relations people as a consumer would, as a nuissance more than a partner, which means you'll get dealt with on their time with their boilerplate spin. If more money is required, you'll have to wait for another kickstarter to cycle through. And as far as expertise is concerned, well, I'm real skeptical that a legion of $20 kickstarter people are going to be much help with anything...except causing a lot of trouble, and making the games worse.
In short, if you believe that you should pay good money for whatever crap a wirehead thinks about giving you on a given day, you should like where this industry is going. But if you want to have a little bit of assurance that what you pay for is what you should get, you should be damn worried these days.

I definitely believe kickstarter could be a great asset to small studios or what have you. The problem is as everybody realizes there's nothing there to hold somebody accountable for these types of investments. So on the likelihood you would be screwed over is probably in the 90 percentile. Now if you have some available cash flow and believe in a project I could understand investing in something. But without accountability to these projects you may as well just go buy a lottery ticket and hope for the best. And to put it into common terms you have 1:160 million chance in winning the jackpot.
As for ending the PC gaming platform. This just makes me laugh for many reasons. There's no way this would and the PC gaming platform. As that every development studio is pushing hardware to their limits to ensure that their game stands out above the rest. And as it stands only PC is the most customizable in regards to power for applications and games. These two reasons alone solidify PC gaming will be around for many years. Probably within 5 to 7 years you will see mobile gaming hit a high point but this will be most likely in conjunction with PC gaming. In other words allowing you to access your PC game and do things within the environment from your mobile device.

If, after that, it doesn't meet your standards than by all means don't contribute. But if it does, and you feel good enough about putting your hard-earned money into a project you support, more power to you.
As far as CU being dead to you b/c of the way it's being funded, even if it succesfully releases....that's just daft.
Fine, you aren't into the type of game it is, or it doesn't have features you are interested in. But b/c of the way it's being funded? What do you give a shit HOW it was made (the game being solely funded by known heroin dealers, child molestors, or rapists aside)?
I'm starting to wonder if you aren't just a troll now. I could believe you being worried about your gaming platform of choice, or just speakng out againt crowdfunding b/c you find it suspect...but between 'CU being dead to you', and the whole 'anyone annoyed w/ the KS image' blocking instructions I have to wonder what your intentions really are.
The only thing that can keep the platform viable is beleive it or not, Valves Steam, and even then Steam is getting put into a box and on the TV.....

Hoak and Lorusso Named Hilbert S-A March
- Release Date:
- April 5, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Chris Hoak from the baseball team and Sarah Lorusso from the women's lacrosse team have been named as the Hilbert College's Co-Student-Athletes of the Month for March, 2013.
Hoak (Hamburg, NY/St. Francis) started all twelve games at short stop during the first month of the season. He led the team in just about every offensive category. The super-senior lead with .348 batting average; .457 slugging; 16 hits, 10 RBIs; scored 8 runs while hitting 3 doubles and 1 triple for the 1-12 Hawks. He covered a team high 21 bases and tied for the lead with four stolen bases in March. On Defense, he assisted on 37 of the Hawks outs and led with 7 fielding double-plays. Hoak made two appearances on the mound and earned the Hawks only save for the season, against Pitt-Greensburg. His most productive game at the plate was against St. Scholastica when he went 3 for 3, earning his double bagger with one RBI and one stolen base.
Hoak is a Business Administration major.
Sarah Lorruso (Lakeview, NY/Frontier) led the women's lacrosse team into new territory as they open their inaugural year of Division III lacrosse this season. The sophomore middie has already left her mark after only 4 games in March. She produced almost half the Hawks offense earning 10 points on 9 goals and 1 assist. She led the team with .409 shooting percentage off 22 shots. And of her 15 hosts on goal, she carried a .682 shot-on-goal percentage. Lorusso earned 9 ground balls and 7 draw controls in four games. The multi-sport athlete helped the Hawks come-from-behind to earn the programs first win, 9-8 against Franciscan. She scored 4 goals, added 2 ground balls, and 1 draw-control.
Lorusso is a Criminal Justice major.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations.

Wednesday, March 13, 2013
For the last few years I've taken my three daughters to the beach for spring break. Packing to go took several days: sunscreen, swimsuits, pajamas, toothbrushes and clothes for all three kids.
It wasn't necessarily a vacation to go to the beach — for me anyway.
When I'm at home with my kids I can relax. I can tell by the noise level where they are in the house. If they are playing outside, I can position myself at four different windows inside and watch them in the yard while simultaneously folding clothes, cooking dinner or working from my laptop. I can relax when we are on our own turf.
If it becomes dangerously quiet, I know where to check first: the pantry, my make-up drawer, the drawer where I keep the scissors "hidden." (Hidden from everyone but Sadie who used them this week to make her shaggy hair a little shaggier.)
As much as I love the beach and a chance to visit my family who lives on the Gulf Coast, this year the idea of driving six hours one way exhausted me.
As did the idea of sleeping in a bed that is not my own, cooking in a kitchen that is not my own and leaving my husband at home to work while the girls and I spent the week at the beach. I guess it's a sign that I'm growing up, or getting old — however you want to look at it.
But, over the last year I've discovered that I need a routine as much as my kids do. I don't particularly like being away from home, my husband or my bed.
And while my kids enjoy the beach and are pretty good little travelers, after a few days away from home their behavior starts to deteriorate.
The girls were planning on going to the beach like we always do, and I worried about cancelling our trip. They were so eager to stay home I almost felt like I had done them a favor by cancelling.
"Momma, can we sleep as late as we want?" Emma, my 6-year-old asked.
"Can we have our friends over and go to the park?" Aubrey, my 8-year-old wanted to know.
"Can we make cupcakes and eat dem all?" Sadie, my 4-year-old asked.
"Done and done."
We've spent the last few days doing exactly that. After what has felt like three solid months of rain, we spent an entire afternoon at our local park, soaking in the sunshine and playing with friends.
It's been so long since we've seen the sun that I totally forgot that it can, like, burn you and stuff. Emma was a little pink that evening.
We put on our pajamas early but went to bed late, scrubbed clean, settled in our own sheets and pleasantly fatigued from our day in the sun.
We're making our way through the girls spring break wish list: playdates, parks, sleepovers and cupcakes.
And I for one, am extremely thankful that at the end of our "vacation" that I won't have to drive six hours to get into my own bed or require a week of bed rest to recover from wrangling my kids on unfamiliar territory.

Despite the fact that most people read every day — whether a book, a billboard or even a text message — people of all ages still struggle with that skill — including local middle-schoolers.
The Lee County Board of Education recently approved allocating nearly a quarter of a million dollars for programs aimed at helping middle school students become better readers, revealing in the process that about 60 percent of students in grades 6-8 are either reading below grade level or are at grade level but at risk of regressing.
Last year, 32.2 percent of middle school students in Lee County failed the reading portion of the state's standardized test, the EOG — and that number could go up significantly next year because of the state's switch to a new system called Common Core, officials said.
Local educators say Common Core is more difficult than the previous curriculum because it places higher expectations on students, especially in reading. Carol Chappell, the director of K-5 instruction for Lee County Schools, noted that when Kentucky switched to Common Core, the number of students deemed proficient at reading dropped by one-third. She said she doesn't think Lee County will see such a drastic change, but that there most likely will be a drop.
Tina Poltrock, the district's director of secondary education, said multiple reading programs are in place for middle schoolers, in addition to the myriad programs in the elementary schools. However programs, while helpful, won't solve the problem alone. Reading skills only improve through practice, she said, and most of a student's time that could be spent reading is outside teachers' control.
"Students are not going to read a book just because we say so or their parents say so," Poltrock said, noting that with television, Internet, video games and sports, students have more competition for their time than ever before.
Andy Bryan, the district's associate superintendent for curriculum and instruction, said the newly purchased programs — READ 180 and System 44, which cost a combined $247,783 — will help three distinct groups of middle schoolers: Those who are significantly below grade level, those who are a year or two behind and those who are at grade level or even above but could slide backward without additional help.
"This is part of an ongoing effort to prepare our students for the future," Bryan said. "The world is changing so fast... and if we can get them to the highest levels possible, the better opportunities they're going to have."
The district purchased enough materials — including tracking software, reading consultants and professional development for teachers — to put 60 students from each middle school into System 44, which helps students at a basic reading level, and 120 in each school into READ 180, which can help the rest.
In addition to school initiatives, there are a variety of after-school programs in the area that can help students with homework, and tutoring is an option for those who can afford it. But because reading problems and poverty are often linked, Chappell said, and two-thirds of students in Lee County Schools are considered economically disadvantaged, that option might not be realistic.
Community members who want to help can get involved through local schools, charities or through volunteerlee.com, a website that aggregates volunteer opportunities in the area. According to that website, SanLee Middle School is looking for math and reading mentors to meet with students after school on Wednesdays, and B.T. Bullock Elementary School is looking for men to read to small groups of students once a week during lunch, with the dual goals of increasing reading skills and giving them a positive male role model.
And at the Lee County Library, children as young as 5 will now be allowed to get their own library cards, in hopes of instilling a love of reading as soon as possible.
"We still think a library card maintains its mystique and its value; it's kind of like a key card in that it unlocks so much," Library Director Michael Matochick said, adding that audiobooks can get kids who have difficulty with reading to explore literature without frustration and might encourage them to become more open to challenging themselves once they get hooked.
"That's a nice little doorway into reading," he said.

What just happened?
To celebrate Vikings Live, we have replaced our Roman alphabet with the runic alphabet used by the Vikings, the Scandinavian 'Younger Futhark'. The 'Younger Futhark' has only 16 letters, so we have used some of the runic letters more than once or combined two runes for one Roman letter.
For an excellent introduction to runes, we recommend Martin Findell's book published by British Museum Press.

New DVD Releases: September 22, 2009Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009
These are the DVD releases for the Tuesday:
Battle for Terra
When the peaceful inhabitants of the planet Terra come under attack from humans in search of a new home, the friendship between a human pilot and an alien girl may hold the key to saving both races. Mala (Evan Rachel Wood) is an alien girl living on the planet Terra. The Terrians are gentle race of extraterrestrials that have no need for war, and harbor a deep respect for nature. When Earth's natural resources began to dwindle, the human race established colonies on Venus and Mars. Although that solution worked temporarily, tragedy struck when the colonies on Venus and Mars attempted to declare independence from Earth, and all three planets were destroyed in the ensuing war. Now, humankind's only hope for survival is to reach Terra. The few remaining humans have developed a machine that will make Terra habitable for them yet poisonous for Terrians, and while the human council is dedicated to finding a peaceful means of coexisting with the Terrians, the villainous General Hemmer (Brian Cox) is fast losing patience. When heroic human fighter pilot Lt. Jim Stanton (Luke Wilson) crash-lands on Terra while chasing Mala into uncharted territory, the empathetic alien girl saves his life, and an interspecies friendship is forged. But time is running out for both the humans and the Terrians, and when General Hemmer stages a military coup d'état, the stage is set for a battle that threatens to destroy both species.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past — the Mark S. Waters directed fusion of A Christmas Carol with a traditional romantic comedy — stars Matthew McConaughey as Connor Mead, a famous photographer and confirmed womanizer. He takes a break from his playboy lifestyle to attend his brother's wedding, where he becomes reacquainted with Jenny Perotti (Jennifer Garner), the only girl who ever captured his heart. After Connor delivers a drunken speech at the rehearsal dinner where he says that love isn't real, he's met in the bathroom by the ghost of his Uncle Wayne (Michael Dogulas), a Hefner-esque horndog who taught Conner everything he knows about picking up chicks. Uncle Wayne informs Connor that, over the course of the evening, he'll be visited by three ghosts who will lead him through his romantic past, present, and future. Will Connor learn to get over himself and love the right woman, or will he remain an emotional Scrooge?

Observe and Report
The Foot Fist Way director Jody Hill takes the helm for this Seth Rogen comedy concerning an ambitious mall cop who competes with a seasoned detective to bust an elusive flasher. Make a wrong move at Forest Ridge Mall, and you'll have to answer to no-nonsense security head Ronnie Barnhardt (Rogen). Ronnie sees skateboarders as the blight of society, and any shoplifter unfortunate enough to summon his wrath will be promptly busted and booked. Sure, Ronnie may suffer delusions of grandeur when it comes to his job, but perhaps with a little effort he'll eventually get to trade in his flashlight and patch for a gun and a badge. When a flasher begins tormenting the shoppers at Forest Ridge Mall, Ronnie seizes the opportunity to showcase his detective skills and impress gorgeous makeup counter girl Brandi (Anna Faris), who can't be bothered to give him a second glance. Perhaps by catching the culprit, Ronnie will finally earn himself a prized position over at the police academy. But the one thing Ronnie hadn't counted on was competition, and when Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta) of the Conway Police makes it his personal mission to nab the flasher, the two rivals begin working around the clock to crack the case before their counterpart.

Comments about Justin Boots Justin Men's Pit stop Work Boots:
This is my 5th pair of Justin work boots (same style) I am in masonry construction and these boots get put through alot in the 112 degree Arizona summers and feel like I got my nikes on! They will go farther (not by much) than the 2 years p/pair but I like to treat myself once in a while and I can always find someone to inherit the old but not beaten Justins.

Very comfortable. Good value for the price. Looks good for a work boot, easy on and off as well. Made in the USA.

Who said spam can't be interesting? A new breed of spam hit my mail box. They aren't the usual mails that claim they'll help solve your medical problems or win a lot of money. Not at all: they contain excerpts from famous books. I could read texts from Stendhal, Galsworthy and they are very good.
"Yes, old man, I've been washing them ever since, but I cant get them clean. The first remark from Smither confirmed the uneasiness which had taken him forth.
It was HERE we came on your mother, Jon, and our stars were crossed.
She could call tomorrow, of course, openly at Green Street, and probably NOT see him. Could so short a sound mean so much, say so much, be so startling?"
As any quality content has a price, the mail comes with an ad attached as an image: it tells me to buy stocks from PPTL. I'll take that into account the next time I'll decide to make investments.
The mail was marked as spam by Gmail and didn't come alone. All the mails had he text from the Project Gutenberg, albeit they had some parsing errors. Another interesting thing is that the phrases are in random order, so it's pretty hard to make up something meaningful.

Special Area Fishing Regulations
Know the regs for the waters you fish
Most public fishing areas have methods, seasons, limits or other fishing regulations that are different from the statewide rules. These special regulations are posted at the areas. It is your responsibility to know what regulations apply to the waters you are fishing. Please refer to area brochures, signs and bulletin boards before fishing these waters.
Special regulations on large reservoirs, rivers, streams and trout areas are summarized below. Special regulations also apply to the tributaries of some large reservoirs. These rules are listed under the name of the lake or stream. Statewide regulations apply unless otherwise indicated below.

But seeing how Overeem weighs like 250 I'd say he probably beats Shogun in a rematch lol, but Shogun could always blindside him or something considering that if they fought it would be a street fight, no way that they would make a catchweight bout between the two.
I hope this isn't too big, because it's awesome.
remember the look on chuck's face halfway through the first match with rampage where he knew he wasn't going to win?

This is more cool than Rogaine! Do want!!!
iPhone 5 Flash Dock puts a little light in the Lightning cable
Apple decided not to make a dock for the iPhone 5, leaving that potential market wide open to third party accessory makers. iPhone5mod is hoping to fill that particular void with the Flash Lightning Dock for iPhone 5. Not only does it include an Apple-like white dock, but an optional Lightning cable that actually glows.
The iPhone 5 Flash Lightning Dock comes in 2 parts. A classic dock for iPhone 5 and an illuminated Lightning Cable. Charge and sync your iPhone 5 with the iPhone 5 Dock. Your iPhone sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it's perfect for a desk or countertop. It comes included with a specially made Lightning Cable that has an intelligent power managements system built in. You can actually see the flow of current going into your iPhone 5.
You can check out the video above, and if you like what you see, head on over to the website below for ordering info.

iPhone 5 Flash Dock puts a little light in the Lightning cable
Fed up of waking up early and rushing to office daily? Why not try Online job? i Love my job, since I've been bringing in $82h… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online… www.fox87.com
It looks really, really cool but I could see that being a distraction in your peripheral vision. I still want one, though! :-D
Yes, but I want to put it in the dock and use my headphones at the same time.
What we need is a dock that has a removable headphone plug at the bottom and an in jack at the base. If we want to use the headphones, we plug the headphone into the dock and plug the headphones into the dock. If we don't want to use the headphones, then we remove the headphone plug at the bottom. Hold on while I go patent that.
Nice! I would still prefer a pure charging dock which uses a microUSB to provide electricity to the dock and then a lightning connector built-in to sit the iPhone on. This still requires you to get your own lightning cable or pay for an extra one.
Evidence that this is in high demand? The site is no longer responding.....
Cable price dictates my interest level. Unfortunately, the site appears down so I will move my interest to the next "iPhone 5 related bauble". :)
i have had a led flow cable for my 4 & 4s for ages now.....
i thought everyone knew about these?
about £10 from eBay

Chief Judge William Prior ruled Sept. 20 that four years of the probated sentence of Jerome Burnett be revoked to the Georgia Department of Corrections, with the remainder of his sentence terminated.
Assistant District Attorney Gregory Bushway represented the state and called probation officer Delores Faircloth as his first witness. She testified that she asked Burnett's probation be modified for failure to pay his fees and fines and for being involved in a fight.
He was arrested Aug. 7 for the violations and has had two previous probation modifications. Faircloth said his original charge was Sept. 3, 2008, for theft by taking motor vehicle. He was sentenced to 10 years with his end date Sept. 2, 2018.
The next witness was Reginald Jones, a Covington probation officer, who talked about his encounter with Burnett July 20. Jones said he went to the home of a friend, Stephanie Smith, and took his cousin to cut her grass.
The witness stated, while his cousin was cutting the grass, he was inside the house working on the computer. He said he actually fell asleep and awoke to someone knocking on the door.

Combined results from electron microscopy, neutron scattering, and theory, illustrate the link between local structures and adsorption properties in carbon materials. The achieved understanding at the atomic scale is a crucial step towards predicting and designing materials with enhanced gas adsorption properties, with important implications for applications such as energy storage and carbon capture.
A recent feature article discusses quantitative structure-function links in nanoporous carbons. Scanning transmission electron microscopy studies show that there is significantly higher structural order than generally expected in nanoporous carbons. Small angle neutron scattering probes the distribution of absorbed gas molecules at smaller length scales than previously possible. Atomic-level calculations demonstrate that local defects observed by microscopy provide stronger gas binding, and predict the superdensification of adsorbates in pores of optimal size, in agreement with observations from in situ neutron scattering. Together, these techniques can lead to new design concepts for building novel nanoporous materials with tailored properties, and predictive techniques for screening materials for specific properties.

Cas and Jonesy Test The North Face
Cas (James Castrission) and Jonesy (Justin Jones) relied on The North Face clothing on their world record breaking polar expedition.
On Australia Day 26 January 2012, they became the first pair to journey the 2270km from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, totally unsupported. Cas and Jonesy completed their trek after 89 days of pushing the very limits of mental and physical pain in one of the planet's most unpredictable and harshest landscapes. Paddy Pallin provided solid advice and dependable gear to help them survive the extreme conditions they encountered.
