Where does it freeze?
In my case ir froze when I was asked to press (1) after letterbomb loaded the hackmii installer.
Anyway I think what narse1979 said should work on most cases. Just make sure you download a fresh LETTERBOMB just so you can get the letter to appear 'the day before'.. And replace the 'title' folder of the 'LetterBomb mmm Hackmii Fix' with the one you just downloaded from LetterBomb
Like it was explained here:
it freezes as soon as i try to open the letterbomb. it doesn't load or do anything, it just automatically freezes.
but thanks for the advice, i'll try it out !
Are you using your correct Mac address on letterbomb

Bob DeKeyser11/15/14Very incompetent attorneys that have no interest in helping the client. They do the least amount of work and charge for time that they don't put in. They worked on my case for 2 months and made it worse. I went to another attorney that worked hard on my case, got it dismissed, and my record was expunged, and they charged a lot less.Katie Rose Potter05/08/14I cannot thank the staff at Crosby Law Firm enough for what they had done for me. Zachary Townsend was absolutely amazing and did everything promised with the case. I wasted 8 months with another lawyer in town before I found Mr. Townsend. Within 4 court appearances Mr. Townsend had the case cleaned up and completed. Mr. Townsend was patient and caring. He listened to my needs and wants and went out of his way to communicate with me and make me feel comfortable.KailA Pederson04/04/15Beware!!! Rude people!!! BewareeeeeA Google User04/20/12I recently consulted with Zachary Townsend, atty. at law at Crosby & Associates (and one of their specialists in personal injury law) following a stumble over a 2-inch ledge of uneven pavement at a local superstore, which landed me in the ER. I chose Crosby sheerly by its proximity to my residence, and so I simply got lucky. The personable receptionist fit me in the same day, and when I arrived I was not kept waiting. Mr. Townsend impressed me immediately as extremely intelligent, competent, experienced, and direct. He advised me wisely and thoroughly -- and saw to it that I was made aware of all my options and the possible outcomes. The way he ran a number of likely scenarios by me, then gave me the space to make an informed decision, was totally inspiring of confidence. Thanks, Mr. Townsend and Crosby Law Firm for providing all the counsel I needed to navigate the rather scary world of big insurance and arrive at a more than satisfactory resolution.A Google User01/22/10I had a free 15min consultation at this firm and they are completely impersonal, the attorney sounded like he was reading me a script and before the free 15mins where even over he wanted to know how I was going to pay(check, credit card etc) the $300 to continue the consultation. It was a waist of my time, not to mention that they were 30mins late... I have been to a few attorneys this one being the worst. UPDATE My husband went the following day for a divorce consultation not knowing that I was there the day before and they told him that I had been there and told him what I had said. I guess confidentiality doesn't apply at this firm?!?!

Have you always wanted to try your hand at gardening, but feel you lack a green thumb or necessary space? Maybe you're looking for a fun way to liven up your home cooking or just a simple hobby for spring. Well, starting your own herb garden might be the thing for you.
If you're like me, the idea of starting a garden of your own can seem daunting. You may see the neighbors cultivating beautiful, lush gardens and think, "All I can grow is tired and frustrated." If this sounds familiar, don't fret; you just need to start small.
Herb gardens can be simple projects, taking up no more space than a windowsill, but the rewards can be major. Growing your own fresh Basil, Cilantro and Thyme can add that special something to any dish, while also building up your skills as a home gardener. But before we get started, we'll need a few basic essentials.
Getting started
First, you'll need to clear off a dedicated space to serve as the site of your future garden. It can be a sunny, south-facing kitchen windowsill or a covered space on your porch, just make sure the location recieves adequate sunlight (at least five hours a day) and isn't a high-traffic area. The last thing you want is for your fledgling garden to fall prey to your family's early morning rush or the curiosity of a house pet. Next you'll need to take a trip to the local nursery or garden supply store. There you'll want to pick up seeds (or an already established starter plant), six- to 12-inch draining pots in which to house your herbs, and a well-draining potting soil. One of the store's employees should be able to help you find what's right for you. Herbs are especially susceptible to diseases in the soil, so a store-bought brand is probably preferable to the soil you'd find in your yard. If you are starting out with seeds, you'll also need to purchase a peat pot.
Once you have everything you need, it's time to get your hands dirty. If you're working with a starter plant, begin by filling each pot with about three inches of soil. Then place the plant atop the soil and fill the pot until there is about one inch remaining between the surface of the soil and the top of the pot. You'll want to keep your pot in a saucer of some kind to catch all the excess water that drains out after watering. Be careful not to overwater or else you'll up with a case of rot.
If you've decided to go the cheaper route and are starting out with seeds, things are going to be a bit more complicated and require a little more tlc. Start by filling your peat pot with potting mix and then insert the seeds into the top of the soil. They wont need to go much deeper than a few centimeters below the surface. Now place the peat in a small bowl of water and let it sit there until it has fully absorded the contents. Once the water is absorded and the seeds are in place, loosely cover the pot in plastic to create a sort of small greenhouse. Keep an eye on the seedlings and once they reach a healthy size, they can be trasplanted into the 6-inch pot.
After your herb garden is established and begins to thrive, feel free to snip off a few sprigs of oregano, basil or mint to throw in the pot as you cook or just sit back, relax and enjoy a job well done.

Indiana officials who deny access to public records now face fines
Indiana government officials who intentionally violate public access laws now face fines of $100 for the first offense and $500 after that under a new law that took effect July 1.
The law, approved during the 2012 legislative session, was an effort to create a way to penalize those who ignore open-government laws that are already on the books.
Hoosier State Press Association Executive Director Steve Key lobbied for the law and said it will help ensure that officials conduct their business in public view.
"The Legislature has sent a message to state and local government officials that they mean business when the government should operate transparently," said Key.
There are multiple safeguards in place to help public officials avoid being fined, Key said.
Public officials cannot be fined if they discuss the record with the state's public access counselor first. Public officials who are acting upon orders from their superiors also will not face a fine.
"The fine is still there, and it is a set of teeth for those few and rare individuals who decide that they don't want to comply with the state legislature's mandate for open government," Key said.
The Association of Indiana Counties is making sure public officials are aware of the new law.
Executive Director David Bottorff said if there is any question as to whether a document is public or not, officials need to check with the Indiana public access counselor.
"We really don't think it was necessary," Bottorff said of the law. "I'm not sure there were any examples given where a public official denied access to a public document or document after the public access counsel."
"We really don't expect any county official to face any kind of fine charge through this," he said.

A Wish for a Special Child....
I have a request.......
A little boy by the name john who is my cousin has had cancer now for over 1 year, he is in my family and is one of the best kids you will ever meet, I talk to him almost everyday and visit him 4 times a week, he recently was released from the hospital and is in high spirits.... He cant really go outside and play with the other kids or go to school due to his illness.....
He has been telling me how much he wants an xbox 360, that's pretty much all he talks about.... His mom and dad cant really afford one.... I really wanted to get him one but I'm a little strapped myself.... So here is what I came up with...
I have an ipod touch 8gb which is brand new in the box.... I wanted someone who is the most reputable here to control the money paypal preferably because its easier..... For every 10$ donated to his Xbox fund I will enter your name in the drawing to win the ipod.... I don't want to go over the cost of the Xbox, I only wanted to do this to bring a little happiness into a great kids life...
Who ever is interested in controlling the donations to purchase the game please PM me.... I would really like one of the more reputable members like RIDE, KASH etc.... You all know who can be trusted most...
I promise you all this is legit and you will be helping a great kid.... If you donate please include your name, email and contact # so I can fill out a ticket... Lets see if we cant get him this wish
I will do a video Raffle for IPOD (Great Idea RIDE!)
Thanks a million.........
I would be glad to donate. PM me when you get things set up.
This sounds like a great idea. It makes me really happy when people do things like this!
I just need someone with a good rep to control the paypal donations so we can begin... I hope we get more people like you thanks!
our Goal is 350.00 all we need is 35 people to donate 10.00 each and we can reach our goal! (i will pay the tax, and I also have 2 games Im going to give him)
1 Attachment(s)
Here is a Pic of John....
(Taken last year, Hes 9 now)
Come on guys and gals 44 views and no one wants to help this poor kid?...... lets do this......
I'd be happy to hold the cash via PayPal (I have verified paypal account and 100% ebay feedback)... I'd also go in on 3 or 4 $10 raffle tickets.
What's the best way to handle it?
Very thoughtful of you to do this!!!
Sent you a PM! =)
Very cool macjuicy23! I'd second RIDE on handling the money. (Kash and XMARLTONX I'm sure are fine too.) I'm good for a couple tickets. ^_^
RIDE and XMARLTONX either is fine with me....
I was thinking of 10$ raffle donations to make it fair for all who donate, I know RIDE and just met XMARLTONX but seems like a good person... I think it would be better to post one paypal so that we dont have to pay 2 fees...
RIDE if you want just post your email for paypal.......
Just Post everytime Someone Donates so we can post totals ....
Id like to say thanks to all of you who are helping, once we get the Xbox to him I will post Pics and comments from him..... thanks again
I know RIDE will have your email when you donate, But please PM me your Name, Phone (Optional), and Email... I have raffle tickets and Im going to fill a ticket for each donation.... who ever wins the IPOD in raffle I will pay shipping anywhere in the US when I send it to you as gratitude for your generosity....
I just received a 20.00 donation from a co-worker!
I think it would be best to know exactly how many tickets you are going to sell. Probably 42... $420 should cover the xbox360 and tax.
Let's post in this thread how many tickets you are COMMITTING to. So far it looks like 1 for Cheesybanana... 3 for me... and 2 from Mathogre... re-confrim just to be sure.
I'm am a FOR SURE 3 ticket buyer.
Once all 42 tickets are committed to, I will post my paypal addy to have people send the money. I think it would be better to do it all at once, as I don't want to hold say Cheesy's and Math's money while we wait for the rest of the tickets to be committed to.
Sound good macjuicy???

text: Today begins the annual "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign across the country, with hundreds of law enforcement agencies participating here in Louisiana. With alcohol being a factor in as many as 40 percent of all fatal vehicular crashes, cops are keen to get out and lock up drunk drivers. Executive Director of the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission Lt. Col. John Leblanc says drunk driving has become too prevalent on state roads. "There were more than 27,000 DWIs arrested in Louisiana in 2012, so we have a long way to go," according to Leblanc. The campaign ends September 1st.The effort approves more overtime for police, to give them the resources needed to blanket the roads during one of the peak times of the year for impaired driving. Leblanc says studies have indicated that this campaign saves lives. "Research by the national highway safety commission shows that if we do an increased enforcement effort, that its very effective in saving lives." According to the National Highway Safety Administration, everyday 28 people are killed as a result of drunk driving. Leblanc says that along with the human cost, a DWI can cost you thousands of dollars. "It's there when you add up the fines, court costs, legal fees, increase in insurance rate, and all kinds of other expenses, and possibly even losing your job."

Section 1: Abstract
A subtle flaw in the hardware divide unit of the Pentium® Processor was discovered by Intel.
Subsequently, a characterization of its impact to the end-user application base was conducted. The flaw is
rare and data-dependent, and causes a reduction in precision of the divide instruction and certain other operations in certain cases.
The significance of the flaw depends upon (a) the rate of use of specific FP instructions in the Pentium
processor, (b) the data fed to them, (c) the way in which the results of these instructions are propagated into further computation in the application; and (d) the way in which the final results of the application are interpreted.
The thorough and detailed characterization of the flaw and the subsequent investigations of its impact on applications through elaborate surveys, analyses and empirical observation lead us to the overall conclusion that the flaw is of no concern to the vast majority of users of Pentium processor based systems.
A few users of applications in the scientific/engineering and financial engineering fields who require unusual precision and invoke millions of divides per day may need to employ either an updated Pentium processor without the flaw or a software workaround.
This applies to:
Intel will not provide future software updates to support new operating systems or improve compatibility with third-party devices and software products.

With the release of Windows 8 Developer Preview back in September, Microsoft asked developers across the globe to start creating metro style apps for the new OS. With that, Microsoft also launched Windows 8 App Developers blog for all the information that was required to develop apps.
However,with the release of Consumer Preview, Microsoft made a considerable amount of changes, which certainly affected the apps which were build for Developer Preview. A new post on the Windows 8 Apps Developer blog sheds some light on this issue of migrating your apps which were build for Developer Preview to Consumer Preview. According to this post, by following some simple steps you can easily migrate your apps from Developer to Consumer Preview compatible.
John Sheehan, Partner Architect on the Windows Development team mentions these guidelines to follow:
- Create a new project in Visual Studio and pick the template that most closely resembles the UI of your existing app.
- If the new Item Templates support the contracts and features you need, like the File Picker contract or the Search contract, use them instead of trying to reuse your existing code.
- After you reconstruct the basic elements of your UI using the new templates, migrate your visual and audio assets from your old project into your new one. Limit the additional code you bring into the project to just be the custom business logic that was at the heart of your app.
- Finally, begin to stitch your new UI (structured with the new templates) to your visual and audio assets and to your back-end logic.
By following these steps, you'll naturally incorporate many of the changes into your app's code.
Lastly, he adds,
"This post is meant to get you started, but it only covers a small sample of the changes we've made to the development platform. As I suggested throughout the post take a look at //Build to Windows 8 Consumer Preview in the Dev Center to get detailed info on how to migrate your app to the Consumer Preview. "

Note to readers: Below, I wrote, "I don't see any mystery in these results. Romney figured to gain after Perry's lackluster performance in the Tampa debate." In fact, the poll was taken during the period Sept. 9-12, BEFORE the debate. So Perry's performance in the Tampa debate had no effect on the poll.
No other candidate reached 10% in the poll:
Bachmann 9%
Palin 8%
Paul 8%
Cain 4%
Gingrich 4%
Santorum 2%
Huntsman 1%
Poll details:
–Conducted Sep 9-12 for Bloomberg News by Selzer & Co. of Des Moines, IA
–Interviews with 997 U.S. adults ages 18 or older. Some
questions included an oversample of 205 self-identified Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.
–Interviewers contacted households with randomly selected landline and cell phone telephone numbers.
–Percentages based on the full sample may have a maximum margin of error of plus or minus 3.1%
"Perry leads in the primary contest in part because some of his most famous stands don't turn off the primary electorate all that much," said J. Ann Selzer, president of Des Moines, Iowa-based Selzer & Co., which conducted the poll. "In the general election, these issues will matter more."
All Respondents: Agree 46%, Disagree 50%
Republicans: Agree 65%. Disagree 33%
Independent voters: "nearly equally split"
45% less likely to support
25% more likely to support
Less likely to support: 50%
More likely to support: 20%
Perry 31%
Romney 21%
Perry 29%
Romney 15%
I don't see any mystery in these results. Romney figured to gain after Perry's lackluster performance in the Tampa debate. The poll corroborates that Perry's most extreme views are anathema to many voters. This provides Romney with an opening to argue that Perry is unelectable in a head-to-head matchup with Obama. Perry's overheated view of Social Security, however, is in line with that of most Americans.
Of course, Social Security is not, strictly speaking, a Ponzi scheme. In a Ponzi scheme, the recipients of the money are a finite group, and the fund manager keeps shifting the pool of money around among them. The difference in Social Security is that there is another player in the game beside the schemer and his victims. That is the government. Congress can reform social security any time it wants to, to make it solvent. It can raise the retirement age, it can means-test, it can raise the tax to bring in more money. This is what happened in 1986, when Reagan was president and the American political system still functioned. They fixed it. Today's politicians could fix it too, but they see more benefit in finger-pointing and blame-casting. Rick Perry doesn't want to fix it. He wants to turn over responsibility for it to the states. You know what Texas will do: cut it.

Qoruyo Lahdo Akbulut receives Pierre Dunia Award
This years' recipient of the Pierre Dunia award was Qoruyo Lahdo Akbulut from the St. Gabriel Parish in Hackensack, New Jersey. Quruyo Akbulut was selected as a result of several recommendations based on his level of commitment, frequency of attendance and positive impact on other altar servants.
The Pierre Dunia Annual Exemplary Altar Servant Award was presented on June 30th, in conjunction with the 29th Syriac Orthodox Youth Convention, which was hosted by the St. Gabriel parish. The distinguished framed certificate was signed by His Eminence Mor Cyril Aphrem Karim and presented in the presence of Suhail and Suzan Dunia.

Your Kinesiology Connection
This study aimed at investigating how the structure of tasks and instructional actions impact on students' use of critical thinking skills while learning creative dance. The participants in this study were an expert elementary physical education teacher and 162 students. 16 videotaped creative dance lessons taught by the expert teacher were evaluated using the Teaching to Promoting Critical Thinking Instruction (TPGTI) designed to assess students' demonstration of critical thinking in relation to a teacher's instructional actions. The TPGTI was developed through a review of literature, analysis of the written anecdotal descriptions of the teacher's teaching and the students' movement responses in the 16 taped lessons, and two field test in which the 16 taped lessons were assessed using the instrument to determine its content validity. The TPGTI consists of three major constructs of teaching actions (structure of task, task presentation, and feedback) and four major constructs of critical thinking (divergent/original movement responses, movement elaboration, refinement of dance quality and dance expression, and metacognition). The intra-observer agreement reached 80% and the inter-observer agreement was 81%. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The statistical analysis revealed that when the teacher presented task constraints accompanied with body illustration and imagery, the students were more likely to perform dance movement with a clear quality (83% of the time) while they were less likely to generate divergent/original movement responses (3% of the time). In contrast, when the teacher presented open-ended tasks along with demonstrating various movement solutions, providing verbal suggestions, asking questions, and emphasizing learning cues, the students generated divergent/original movement responses 83% of the time, creatively sued movement elements to elaborate on their responses 47% of the time, and also performed dance movement with a clear quality 91% of the time. Further, when being asked to design their own dance sequences reflecting dance variety and quality, the students created divergent/unique dance sequences 63% of the time, creatively used movement elements to elaborate on their sequences 100% of the time, performed the dance sequences with efficient use of effort 199% of the time and practiced the dance sequence without the teacher's monitoring 63% of the time. When repeating dance sequences, the students performed them to the music/rhythm precisely 75% of the time. The results of this study provided a picture of the link between instructional actions and the use of critical thinking skills.

No shields. Have you seen any gameplay videos? What do you need a shield for?
Blow pipe Dryads (or w/e they were called) were awesome. Although they should have probably renamed the blowpipe to medieval minigun... the rate of fire of that thing was insane.Quote from YngvarI had one of those in Sacred 2.
...man, I wish that game could have been good.
Quote from NekrodracHmm...interesting. Never thought of that before. Maybe we could have a character who would use only shields. Then for his ultimate attack he would run and smash the shield on top of a demon's head. Or better he could throw his shields at monsters.
Seems awesome.
On another hand, all chars you mentioned can use shields and probably will.
Oh and welcome friend. :biggrin:
Quote from AnotherDiabloFan... Everyone seems so damn sure that the final class is going to be wielding a bow, so why even include shields in the game. Bows, without a doubt, will necessarily require two hands. The Barb seems to be proficient at dual wielding. The Monk looks like he is going to be pummeling people with both hands, and, as spell-casters, I really doubt the Wizard or Witch Doctor will be rocking shields. Unless I am missing something, don't we still need the prototypical sword and shield brandishing, main hero type character. Hell, maybe the fifth class will be a swordsman/ranger hybrid, something like a shadow warrior. Thoughts, complaints, maniacal rants?

New program for campus community to teach cooking, glass work, bridge
(Bethlehem, Pennsylvania)— Moravian College has developed a program for students, faculty, and staff to have fun while learning new skills with "Learning at Leisure," a program designed to offer both educational and fun classes in various areas of interest: games, food, and crafts. The classes, which are open to students, faculty, and the community, are taught by Moravian faculty as well as other professionals associated with the college.
The basis for Learning at Leisure was formed when Mark Kopenhaver, director of food services, began discussions with Ann Claussen, director of student activities, exploring ways to engage people in learning outside the class room environment. "We wanted to develop programming that would bring the campus community together and engage them in unique learning activities not normally associated with college," said Ann Claussen. "We just announced the program and we already have a number of students, faculty, and staff signed up for the classes.
Dick Claussen, coordinator of academic camps, will offer a beginner class in the card game Bridge on Mondays, October 20 and 27, and November 3 and 10. He will introduce the basic concepts of the game and instruct on how to play effectively and successfully.
The executive chef of the Wood Company (Moravian's Food Service Provider) will introduce the art of Cake Icing and Decorating techniques on Thursday, October 30. He will teach the fundamentals of creating beautifully decorated cakes using piping and flowers.
How to make candy will be taught by Lou Ann Vlahovic, secretary/operator for the Science Department, on Thursdays, November 6, 13, and 20. She will demonstrate how to mold candies and fillings for candy and lollipops. Participants will learn the proper preparation of chocolate for molding. Recipes used during the demonstration will be distributed for your own use.
On Thursday, November 20, the executive chef, Wood Company will feature a class entitled "Death by Chocolate." This class will feature recipes and techniques for preparing chocolate treats such as Ganache, Truffles, Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Bread Pudding, Chocolate Pecan Pie and Chocolate Trash. The same company will teach a course in dining etiquette on Thursday, November 6.
For Harry Potter fans, Judith Green, assistant director of publications, will instruct a course, October 2, 9, 16, and 23, on witchcraft, the literary genre of the quest, and why it is that the Malfoy family is evil and Knockturn Alley has no streetlights.
The executive chef will be back on Thursday, October 16 will a course on safe sushi, teaching how to prep, pack, and roll safe sushi as well as how to make California rolls, Philadelphia Rolls, Fruit Rolls, Inside-Out Rolls, and Tear Drops.
Shay Jaymes will teach a course in Faux Stained Glass on Wednesdays October 1, 8, and 15. You will learn to create projects that can be used alone or in combinations to create framed artwork or decorative window treatments.
On Tuesday, October 14, Dr. Rudy Ackerman, emeritus professor of art at Moravian College, will tell stories and show slides of the adventures he experienced in Western Europe, Greece, and Egypt with Moravian students over the past 35 years.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senior Whitney Fremeau (Manchester, N.H.) was the only Holy Cross women's basketball player to score in double figures against American, as the team fell 84-53 at Bender Arena With the final tally, the Crusaders fall to a record of 6-14 (2-3 PL) on the season, while the Eagles move to a record of 14-5 (4-1 PL). Fremeau scored 12 points, hitting six of her 13 field goal attempts to lead the squad in scoring.
American jumped to a 5-1 lead early on in the first half, hitting a three-pointer and jump shot. Holy Cross came back to take a 10-9 advantage at 16:21, getting five points from sophomore Amy Lepley (Norfolk, Mass.). The Eagles regained the lead 20 seconds later and continued to pull ahead, earning a 10-point lead, 28-18, at 10:28. The Crusaders would get within seven points, but American kept up the offensive pressure, taking its largest lead of 17 points, 46-29, with just under two minutes to go in the front half. A lay-up by Lepley marked the final basket of the half as Holy Cross went into the locker room down 46-31. The Crusaders hit 48.1 percent of their first half shots, going 13 of 27 from the field. American made 60.7 of its shots, going 17 of 28 from the field. Fremeau led all Holy Cross scorers with eight points in the first 20 minutes.
Fremeau tallied the first field goal of the second half, hitting a jumper at 19:47 to bring the score to 46-33. At 16:01 American pulled out to a 21-point advantage, outscoring Holy Cross 8-0. The Crusaders remained out of sync over the next five minutes, mustering six points, including a jump shot from Fremeau and free throws made by freshman Brisje Malone (Springfield, Mass.) as the Eagles stayed up, 64-39. Freshman Christine Ganser (Needham, Mass.) broke up an eight minute scoring drought at 9:35, tallying the score at 64-41. American's lead climbed to 31 points with a little under two minutes to go in the final half, going ahead 80-50. Junior Meredith Ward (Westerly, R.I.) registered Holy Cross' final three points, as she hit a free throw with one second left to finalize the score at 84-53. The Crusaders were outscored 38-22 in the final half, hitting just 25 percent of their shots.
Lepley followed Fremeau's 12 scores with nine points and a team-leading five rebounds. In the game, the Crusaders shot 37.3 percent (19-for-51) while the Eagles shot 50.8 percent (30-for-59). American finished with a 38-28 rebounding edge and was led by junior guard Lisa Strack with 18 points. The Eagles' bench was a huge factor in the win, scoring 36 points in all.
Holy Cross continues its travels to Hamilton, N.Y., for a mid-week match-up with Colgate. The Crusaders and Raiders will face-off for the 45th time in program history on Wednesday, Jan, 26 at 7:00 p.m. The game will be played on Cotterell Court.

Lawman named gamer of the week
Teays Physical Therapy Center Inc. and the Putnam Herald are pleased to present this week's Female Gamer of the Week to Jayne Lawman of Winfield High School.
The Winfield girl's soccer team has already started its run at a repeat of last year's AAA Championship. They are off to a 6-0 start led by junior captain Jayne Lawman. Jayne has had multiple games with two or more goals including two hat trick games against Brook and Princeton. She already seems poised to bring another state title to Winfield.
"We have been working hard as a team in practices and coach Hoff and Bailey have been pushing us to get better," said Jayne about her team. "I feel like I have been playing pretty good. My teammates have been helping me a lot and we are working off of each other to make the team better," she added.
Her sister Mary is a freshman on the team this year, the first time they have ever been teammates. "I didn't know how I would like having her on the team but I love it and it's so much fun," she said.
In the off-season, Jayne has been running and lifting with her teammates and playing soccer with the Chaos travel team to prepare herself for this fall.
Coach Marshall Hoff could not say enough about his junior center forward. "She is doing a fantastic job as a leader on this team. She is not only a vocal leader but also someone that the other girls will follow. She's a great athlete and great person," he said about Jayne.
He has been very pleased with the effort and results that he is getting from his team as well. He added; "This team is such a great group to work with. They know what it takes and work hard to get to that point. Any time you win an honor like a state championship the pressure is put on you more. The target gets really big, but you have to work hard and take one game at a time."
We asked Jayne who in her life has helped her the most to become the athlete she is now. She said, "My parents. They have been very supportive of me in soccer and have allowed me to play travel ball, so without them I would not be where I am at today. My coaches through high school and travel ball have really helped me to develop my skills."
Jayne is also a member of the basketball and track team at Winfield. She has a 3.75 GPA and is a member of the Teays Valley Baptist Church.
Look for Jayne and other local area high school athletes to be named next week's Female Gamer of the week sponsored by Teays Physical Therapy Center Inc. and the Putnam Herald.

Front Row Motorsports announced Tuesday that David Reutimann will be driving the No. 35 Ford in Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
The team owned by Morristown businessman Bob Jenkins will now have three drivers named David to compete against the giants of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
David Ragan, the winner of last spring's Talladega race, will be in the No. 34 Ford, and David Gilliland will drive the No. 38 Ford.
Reutimann takes over the car normally driven by Josh Wise to make his first start of the 2014 season.
"Driving for Front Row Motorsports is a great opportunity with a great organization," Reutimann said. "I miss being at the track on Sundays so I'm really looking forward to it. I think it's pretty cool and can't wait to get to Bristol."
Reutimann, a 43-year-old Florida driver with two career Sprint Cup wins, has 11 career starts at Bristol. His best finish at the .533-mile oval is a runner-up finish to Kyle Busch in the 2010 IRWIN Tools Night Race.
Front Row has been competitive on the restrictor-plate tracks with Ragan and Gilliland 1-2 in the aforementioned Talladega race. Bristol has been one of the team's best non-plate tracks with Ragan finishing 12th in August.
"We are very much champing at the bit to get back there and see how things go based on the changes we've had this year," Ragan said. "I think the racetrack has aged well since they've ground the top. You've got some guys who can really make their cars run well on the bottom groove, and you've got guys running around the top. I think it's one of the best tracks we go to."
The Thor Mega Series season opener was held March 2 at Muddy Creek Raceway with nearly 700 riders from 15 states competing.
North Carolina rider Nathan Laporte powered his Kawasaki to a clean sweep of 450 Pro motos. Georgia rider Colby Mullins, also on a Kawasaki, finished second in the overall standings with Adam Britt of Johnson City racing his Yamaha to a third-place finish..
Marshall Welton of Ulby, Mich., rode his Honda to a win in the 250 Pro division, and again Mullins was the runner-up. Maryland rider Jacob Runkles was third.
Bobby Mashburn of Jonesborough headlined a list of local competitors in other divisions, racing his Suzuki to the win in the 60+ title.
Logan McConnell of Kingsport took home two victories. He edged West Virginia rider Peyton Wells for the 250B overall title, and also captured the 450B title.
Jacob Austin of Jonesborough was runner-up in two classes (Schoolboy 2 and 250C), while Blake Birchfield of Roan Mountain was second in the (65cc D) class.
Volunteer Speedway opens its season with the 13th annual "Spring Thaw" this Friday and Saturday.
Friday's action will feature a $4,000-to-win Super Late Model 40-lap event, along with a 30-lap race for the Crate Late Models.
The 'Spring Thaw' on Saturday is headlined by a $10,000-to-win Super Late Model feature. There will also be qualifying and heat races, along with a 30-lap Steel-Head Late Model feature.
Gates open at 6 p.m. each day at the 4?10-mile dirt track off Tennessee exit 23 on Interstate 81. Hotlaps begin at 7:30 p.m., followed by qualifying and racing.comments powered by Disqus

Constructing the smart and sustainable city of the future – and making existing ones smarter – raises new challenges for urban planners and building designers.
Developers are now required not to simply think in isolation but to make their buildings "synch" in a holistic fashion with other components of the urban landscape – transport and utilities providers as well as the digital world – while also making them energy efficient and sustainable at the same time.
"Smartening" our older cities presents a raft of issues, particularly where the costs of turning offices and homes built more than 100 years ago into low-carbon-producing spaces are excessive.
The previous government pumped millions of pounds into a raft of schemes, such as the Low-Carbon Economic Areas, to encourage the private sector to become more energy efficient – whether it is by using green sources of power, conserving energy use or, particularly in the West Midlands, researching low-carbon forms of transport. It remains to be seen how the tight hold on public spending will affect green aspirations.
Installing more environmentally conscious sources of power – whether in your home or factory – in urban areas can be tricky, says Graham Eastwick, of consulting engineering firm Encraft. "You've often got overshadowing problems with taller buildings – you need big roofs to put solar panels on too, and it's better if they are south-facing." One energy-efficient system used in countries such as Denmark and Sweden and well suited to developing smarter cities is district heating, which uses a centralised plant to supply homes and commercial premises. Some towns such as Southampton and Sheffield already have district heating systems and, as reported on page 2 of this supplement, a major scheme is underway in Glasgow.
Eastwick adds: "We don't do it as a matter of course and we should. With power stations in this country, you see a lot of steam coming off the cooling towers because we're desperately trying to lose the low-grade heat used in the generation process, but it is hot enough to provide heating to buildings."
Such systems are likely to be used in the smart cities of the future, where industry will be accommodated in clean, sustainable, purpose-built factory units, utilising eco-friendly resources – recycling their own water, using electric vehicles and monitoring their energy use on an hourly basis. In Peterborough, which aims to become the country's "environment capital", the city council, the regeneration agency Opportunity Peterborough and the private sector have used satellite imagery, aerial photography and 3D maps to create an image of the town's environmental performance on an online platform.
Peterborough residents will soon have access to data on energy, water and transport use in order to improve energy consumption, whether in the home or workplace. The city is also closely co-operating with house-builders and utility companies to ensure that all new developments are linked to efficient energy supply from the planning stages.
Trevor Gibson, Peterborough's director of environment capital, says: "Technological advances allow cities to collate data and interpret it in ways not achieved before so that we can manage development in a more energy efficient way.'' Peterborough is also home to one of two new zero-carbon housing developments under the government's "Carbon Challenge" to the construction industry, itself part of the multimillion Low-Carbon Investment Fund.
A separate scheme, the UK's first PassivHaus estate in Coventry, being developed by the Orbit Heart of England Housing Association, will conform to a German certification system for energy efficiency. "The home is built in a factory so when it is assembled it has good air tightness so you don't get leakage," the association's Stewart Ferguson says. "Then we use a system of windows that encourage passive solar gain." In addition, he says, "a good proportion of the heating is provided through heat exchange. When you live in a house you generate hot air, which we normally vent by opening windows. We use that to heat the house."
And the search for smartness is likely to lead full circle back to more traditional construction materials – such as wood. Baufritz is a German company which specialises in creating sustainable homes and offices using low-tech principles, including using wood chips left over from the manufacturing process as insulation. Oliver Rehm, managing director of Baufritz (UK) says: "Wood is sustainable, easy to transport and easy to process, and that makes it very energy-efficient." But, as Rehm says, it does not matter how state of the art a building is if those who work or live in it do not bother to maintain environmental standards. "The behavioural changes of users is the cheapest way to make buildings greener." In other words, people have to behave smarter too.
Integrated environment Thamesmead
A sprawling south-east London housing estate, Thamesmead was conceived in the late 1960s as the original smart city.
Here, people would live and work in an integrated Thames-side environment, using eco-friendly river boats to travel to shops, to homes and to the pub. Raised walkways ran above the roads, so pedestrians never came into contact with traffic on the ground. Energy was created by a district heating plant, which provided central heating to all the homes. Visitors flocked to see this town on stilts and late 1970s posters depicted smiling women declaring: "Happy are the Thamesmead housewives".
But Thamesmead became a byword for soulless concrete ghettoes and high crime levels. The final nail in the coffin came when it was used as the location for Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, a film synonymous with dystopic, urban violence.
Now, an attempt is being made to recover Thamesmead's status as a smart city with the introduction of one of the UK's first three zero-carbon developments, the lottery-funded Gallions Reach ecopark, which forms part of a development of 2,000 new homes.
The environmentally sustainable, award-winning ecopark is built within a network of canals bordered and filled with reeds, which filter the water. The homes are made from renewable materials and include solar panels to heat the water supply and sun rooms to warm the air. The residents' consumption of water, gas and electricity is far below the national average. After one year, households showed a 32% reduction in gas usage compared to a standard house.
Dr Valerie Wigfall, a social historian and author of Thamesmead: a History, says the development has come full circle: "The ecopark is getting a lot of attention like the first structures did, because it's an unusual design and quite pioneering."
The original smart city is getting smart once again.

This icing was awful too! I have been baking for years and this is the first time that I have broken an appliance baking! The icing was so stiff it bent the beaters on the mixer!
Way too thin and runny! I even chilled the mixture for a few hours and rebeat it before using, and it slid right off the cake. DO NOT USE THIS

WEBS, American's Yarn Store America's Yarn Store
Manos Wool Clasica Space Dyed is 100% wool in amazing colors. It works up at 3.5-4.5 stitches per inch, making it extremely versatile. The space dyed colors are gorgeous combinations that will make your finished project one of a kind.
Experience the lustrous feel of this yarn hand spun by artisans throughout the Manos del Uruguay cooperatives. Dyed over wood fires, the marbleized striated yarn emerges, sometimes subtly, often dramatic, giving the effect of several colors in one single strand.
We recommend buying enough yarn to complete a project. If there is great difference between skeins, we recommend working two rows from one skein and two rows from another skein to give an overall blended effect. Made in Uruguay.

Palm Bay, Florida
I'm an RN from Florida. Originally from West Virginia. I read everything from the back of a cereal box to Ayn Rand. I was in pre-med years ago, when my youngest daughter was discovered to be deaf. At that time I dropped out to make sure that she got what she needed. I came back later and got my degree to be an RN. I've never regretted that decision, and today I'm an Oncology medical review nurse. For fun, I sell Avon, so I always smell really good.

Bryan Local law enforcement agencies across the Brazos Valley gathered Friday in Bryan for specialized training in child abductions.
While many of their tactics remain confidential, law enforcement agencies are focusing on a specific case study, involving the abduction and murder of a 12 year old girl near Houston in Friendswood, Texas back in 1997.
Laura Smither went out for a jog and never came back. While her remains were found, no arrests have ever been made. Her mother Gay was present for Friday's training.
"We would like for something to come out and looking at the case with fresh eyes, people who are not familiar with the case, you never know that maybe somebody will come up with the idea that creates more leads," said Smither.
Bob and Gay Smither founded The Laura Recovery Center in April of 1998. The foundation has helped recover several abducted children.
The Brazos Valley Child Abduction Response Team consists of the Brazos County Sheriff's Office, Bryan Police Department, College Station Police Department, Texas A&M University Police Department, Blinn Junior College Police Department, Burleson County Sheriff's Office, Caldwell Police Department, Somerville Police Department, Grimes County Sheriff's Office, Navasota Police Department, Leon County Sheriff's Office, Madison County Sheriff's Office, Madisonville Police Department, Madisonville ISD Police Department, Robertson County Sheriff's Office, Calvert Police Department, Hearne Police Department, Washington County Sheriff's Office, Brenham Police Department and the Brazos County Emergency Communication District.

Duke women's soccer to play Virginia Sunday
The No. 3 Virginia Cavaliers might have a long weekend ahead of them. In a tough, physical game against No. 10 Maryland Thursday night, the Cavaliers were stunned by two late goals just minutes apart—and now they face No. 5 Duke (8-2-1, 2-2-1 in ACC) Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Blue Devils will take a trip to Charlottesville, eager to assert their place atop the ACC. Coming off a decisive 3-0 win over Clemson, Duke's offense has continued to churn out goals. Junior Laura Weinberg scored twice Thursday for a total of 11 goals on the season—a personal best. As a team, the Blue Devils entered Thursday averaging 3.40 goals per game, the third most in Division I.
Unfortunately, sophomore Kelly Cobb may have to sit out Sunday. Fresh off her 2012 debut last Thursday, the Chugiak, Alaska native was injured late in the first half against Clemson. Although the injury is reportedly minor, her return to action is not guaranteed. Freshman Kelly McCann also injured her knee Thursday.
Although the Blue Devils have proved themselves in Cobb's absence, the Cavaliers will not go down easily, having dropped just two games this season. Prior to last night, the team had allowed just four goals in 10 games while registering six shutouts. The Cavaliers also return 10 starters from last year's squad and welcome talented freshman Mackenzie Doniak, who already has seven goals on the season.
Fighting for the top spot in the ACC, Duke and Virginia will be a key matchup. Head coach Robbie Church expressed excitement for the upcoming game.
"It's always big with Virginia, we have great games with them," Church said. "We've also had some close games against top-five, top-ten teams. We've been on the short end of a couple of those. I look forward to coming off this victory and go into Charlottesville, which is really a tough place to play."

Mrs. Magician
Strange Heaven (Swami)
One could argue that every "garage rock" band throughout history was actually nothing but a wannabe pop band that didn't have the pipes or the chops to make something wholly original. They know how to craft a hook, and they can harmonize a little, but they sure as hell ain't The Rolling Stones.
San Diego's Mrs. Magician will likely be labeled garage rock, whether they like it or not. But if garage-rock-revival bands throughout the years have proven anything—be it the garage / proto-punk hybrid of '70s Detroit, the early-'00s garage revival of The White Stripes and The Strokes or the more recent influx of lo-fi bands like Best Coast and Wavves—it's that you don't need to be skillfully brilliant to be, well, brilliant. What separates Mrs. Magician from the pack is their superb and seemingly effortless ability to make the old new again.
The songs on Strange Heaven, a fantastic album that's out digitally now and hits the streets on April 17, not only get stuck in your head but also touch you in a deeply personal way. Lyrically, the band takes on everything from stalkers ("Don't Flatter Yourself") and criminality ("Prescription Vision") to hipster life ("Actual Pain") and atheism ("There is No God"). But most of the subject matter has to do with love. The song "Dead 80's" feels like a sequel to The Dead Milkmen's "Punk Rock Girl," with the narrator (singer / guitarist Jacob turnbloom) being won over by a girl who says, "Fuck the world. Fuck the law. Fuck the kids." Meanwhile, the gorgeous little ballad "Heaven" is driven by the immediately recognizable beat from The Ronettes' "Be My Baby," which has become an indie-rock staple.
Anyone who's seen Mrs. Magician perform live knows how great these songs sound, but with this debut (lovingly pro-duced by Swami Records' John Reis), Mrs. Magician have proven that they're much, much more than a garage-rock band. They're a great band, period.
Mrs. Magician open for Cults and Spectrals at Belly Up tavern on Wednesday, March 21.

Dow Chemical Moves to Shield 'Enterprise Model' From R&H; Alleges Goldman Role in Possible Sale of Ag Business
4:35 PM MST | February 27, 2009 | Kara Sissell
Rohm and Haas (R&H) has asked the Delaware Chancery Court to allow R&H financial advisor Goldman Sachs to examine Dow's "enterprise model," the method Dow uses to calculate the value of assets for sale, according to the Wall Street Journal. Dow's attempt to block the release of the model to R&H, includes assertions by a Dow attorney that Goldman Sachs Goldman is known "adversely to Dow" to be representing a "major multibillion dollar transaction involving Dow AgroSciences," the report says.

It all comes down to you, if you feel the need to upgrade eevry day when something comes out, that's up to you to waste money like that. I like to keep things until they literally die, but that's just me.
You are so far off base it's not even funny. My i3 iMac is significantly faster than my C2D Macbook at pretty much
. Running everything from Geekbench to Cinebench to XBench to Handbrake to MS Word to Adobe PS 5 in the real world the i3 wins hands down. Period.

Sounds to me like the OP has some hardware issues, likely the HDD. I would recommend making sure the RAM is all showing up and working properly. A bad module/lack of RAM could cause this issue as well.

I'm excited to have come across these as I hear oxymorphone is the "holy grail" of opiates. I have a decent supply of these and I was wondering what ways you are able to take them and how effective each way is. I'd also like to hear about anyones past experiences with them too. So let's chat about Oxymorphone/Opana!
