twice a week, sometimes more often than that
Once or twice a day, mostly in the morning and right before I go to bed
|Nico Lawsons
At least 10 times a day.
I know... I need help
Once every morning..
2-3 times a day
I used to be a real junkie, and I was checking several times a day, and probably about five times as often as I was getting a click. That was pretty depressing, but now I've relaxed a bit, and I check once a day. Some days... I don't even check at all! Wow!
One or two per day.
This is my Bali car rental and Web Design blog.
almost every hour?
its just exciting and i cant help it

New Overpass Helps Bridge Communities
Posted July 9, 2014 03:11 PM CDT
Share This!
The center point of the Peoria Street Overpass, ready for the clean sweep to create a seamless connection between Aurora and Denver.
A ceremony held in Colorado late last month celebrated a project that will bring the cities Aurora and Denver, Colorado, closer together.
The project is the Peoria Street Overpass, a crossing bridge that will allow drivers to bypass tracks that carry as many as 60 Union Pacific freight trains per day. The corridor also will be used to support RTD East Rail Line commuter service to Denver International Airport, beginning in 2016.
Northbound lanes of the new overpass opened late last month while southbound lanes are scheduled to open in July. Union Pacific Engineering and Public Affairs departments helped coordinate the project and contributed funds to an effort that will result in the closing of a busy at-grade crossing.
"We aren't just building figurative bridges between our cities, we are very literally building bridges between our communities," said Denver Mayor Michael Hancock at the celebration ceremony.
"This bridge is one piece of a truly collaborative effort that creates seamless connections between Aurora and Denver, and ultimately links us to the entire metro area," said Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan.
In addition to the bridge, the $52 million project includes a 14-foot-wide sidewalk and the addition of two plazas with direct access to the RTD commuter rail station.
Aurora Mayor Mayor Steve Hogan, Union Pacific Director - Public Affairs Sara Thompson Cassidy, RTD Director Barbara Deadwyler and Denver Councilman Chris Herndon sweeping away the dividing line.

Mobile Discount Pharmacy Card for Apple and Android Released.
Ascendant Health Solutions is proud to announce the release a free pharmacy discount app designed to help consumers find the lowest price for medications based on phone location or zip code!
Glenwood, MD January 16, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) - Free pharmacy discount app
This app was developed because of the frustration of not knowing how much a medication would cost when going to a pharmacy. Think of it as 'Gas Buddy' for prescription drugs. In the new era of the Affordable Care Act, we provide consumers with price transparency to help make better choices with budget dollars.
A simple search is generated by entering the name of the medication in the 'Search' field of the app then clicking on 'Find Savings'.
The app prices both Generic and Brand-Name medications and shows each pharmacy on a Google map for ease of locating the most convenient location.
The app can be easily shared with friends and family through Email, Facebook or Twitter. Of course, good-old-fashioned printing is allowed as well!
If one does not have a smartphone or mobile device, a basic internet search can also help you find savings. Go to the company website for more information.
The '+' is for future discount services that will be added to the app (dental, vision, tele-medicine, radiology, dermatology to name a few).
Why it's different:
- En Español.
- CONVENIENT. No card to carry. It's on the phone!
- REAL-TIME PRICING. Know the price of the medication before going to the pharmacy.
- VALUE. See the retail cost of the medication without the app.
- ACCEPTED. Know the pharmacy accepts the card if it shows up in the search.
Exclusive (no other app does this!):
- Shows the average, non-discounted price that the pharmacy sells the medication.
- Shows the logo of the pharmacy.

A man uses an umbrella to shield himself from the falling snow during a late season winter storm in March 2014 in Washington, D.C.
The winter of 2013-2014 may have been unusually long, cold and harsh compared to recent years but we shouldn't get used to it, a new study says. That's because milder winters with fewer extremes may be more likely in the future thanks to the rapid warming of the Arctic.
Published Sunday in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change, the study says that despite fears that global warming might lead to more cold weather extremes in places like North America – much-discussed during this winter's "polar vortex" – we're actually seeing the number of extremely cold weather days fall, not rise.
James Screen, the study's author and a climate researcher at the U.K.-based University of Exeter who is currently in the middle of a multi-year project on the impact of Arctic climate change on Earth's mid-latitude regions, said the winds coming out of the north are changing.
That's due to a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification, which is occurring because the Arctic is warming at a much faster pace than Earth's lower latitudes – places like the United States and much of Europe and Asia – thanks to shrinking snow and ice cover.
Monthly September ice extent for 1979 to 2013 shows a decline of 13.7 percent per decade.
Screen found that winds that blow out of the Arctic from the north – they're responsible for the blasts of cold air that bring winter weather extremes in the U.S. – are warming up faster than winds that blow warmer air in from the south.
That reduces the difference in temperature between the two, which leads to less extreme weather and fewer extremely cold days, Screen told Mashable. "You're kind of taking the edge off of your cold extremes," he said.
"Cold days tend to occur when the wind is blowing from the north, bringing Arctic air south into the mid-latitudes," Screen added in an interview with the International Business Times. "Because the Arctic air is warming so rapidly these cold days are now less cold than they were in the past."
Screen studied records of wind temperature over the past 35 years and found that while both northerly and southerly winds had warmed, northerly winds had warmed at nearly twice the rate of southerly winds during that time period.
The warming trend also was most pronounced in winter, the study notes, and not in the spring or summer. Current temperature trends and greenhouse gas emissions levels mean that we can only expect more Arctic amplification in the future, which will likely mean fewer and fewer cold extremes like this year's.
"Autumn and winter days are becoming warmer on average, and less variable from day-to-day," said Screen in a University of Exeter news release. "Both factors reduce the chance of extremely cold days."

Because those four shelved novels already threatened to be "unsafe". It's probably too early to start splintering off the new timeline. Look how long it took for "Myriad Universes" and "The Mirror Universe" to become recognisable, marketable, highly-anticipated tie-in entities. Decades!
And there are already "safe" JJ tie-ins: the "Starfleet Academy" tie-ins and the IDW Ongoing comic.

2000 Buick Lesabre
Is there a way to tighten the plate that is the part of the engine block where the oil pan meets the block? It appears to have (4) pieces to form the block where the oil pan meets and the end plate that is where the transmission meets the engine. This plate has a gap of about 1/16" and the other plate at the end near the other end of the oil pan is tight without any gap and doesn't leak at that end. The oil pan usually fit on the block and the block was a continuing solid serface not pieces fitted together to form the base of an engine block. It seem as if it was designed to leak if any one of the areas get loose as this one has done. I hay have to order a shop manual to see how the engine was put together because the books that are in the Auto part stores gives little in that area.

I checled 2carpro remark but I don't know what it is that it signified. I have checked the manuels but I can't find anything that shows me how or what is an the end of the 2000 Buick LaSabre where the rear main seal and transmission is and how it is secured because where the oil pan gasket makes contact with the engine block there is a gap and I can't see how to tighten what ever is there. I think my question is, where can I find anything that will show me the parts that is attached to the engine block at both ends from the under side of the engine? Dol you think that a shop manual could provide that information?

Titanium alloy
Titanium alloys are metals that contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures). They are light in weight, have extraordinary corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures. However, the high cost of both raw materials and processing limit their use to military applications, aircraft, spacecraft, medical devices, highly stressed components such as connecting rods on expensive sports cars and some premium sports equipment and consumer electronics.
Although "commercially pure" titanium has acceptable mechanical properties and has been used for orthopedic and dental implants, for most applications titanium is alloyed with small amounts of aluminium and vanadium, typically 6% and 4% respectively, by weight. This mixture has a solid solubility which varies dramatically with temperature, allowing it to undergo precipitation strengthening. This heat treatment process is carried out after the alloy has been worked into its final shape but before it is put to use, allowing much easier fabrication of a high-strength product.
Transition temperature[edit]
The crystal structure of titanium at ambient temperature and pressure is close-packed hexagonal α phase with a c/a ratio of 1.587. At about 890 °C, the titanium undergoes an allotropic transformation to a body-centred cubic β phase which remains stable to the melting temperature.
Some alloying elements raise the alpha-to-beta transition temperature[i] (i.e., alpha stabilizers) while others lower the transition temperature (i.e., beta stabilizers). Aluminium, gallium, germanium, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen are alpha stabilizers. Molybdenum, vanadium, tantalum, niobium, manganese, iron, chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper and silicon are beta stabilizers.[1]
Titanium alloys are generally classified into four main categories:[2]
- Alpha alloys which contain neutral alloying elements (such as tin) and/ or alpha stabilisers (such as aluminium or oxygen) only. These are not heat treatable. Examples include:[3] Ti-5AL-2SN-ELI, Ti-8AL-1MO-1V.
- Near-alpha alloys contain small amount of ductile beta-phase. Besides alpha-phase stabilisers, near-alpha alloys are alloyed with 1–2% of beta phase stabilizers such as molybdenum, silicon or vanadium. Examples include:[3] Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo, Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo, IMI 685, Ti 1100.
- Alpha and beta alloys, which are metastable and generally include some combination of both alpha and beta stabilisers, and which can be heat treated. Examples include:[3] Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6Al-4V-ELI, Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn.
- Beta and near beta alloys, which are metastable and which contain sufficient beta stabilisers (such as molybdenum, silicon and vanadium) to allow them to maintain the beta phase when quenched, and which can also be solution treated and aged to improve strength. Examples include:[3] Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al, Ti-13V-11Cr-3Al, Ti-8Mo-8V-2Fe-3Al, Beta C, Ti-15-3.
Generally, alpha-phase titanium is the more ductile phase and beta-phase titanium is stronger yet less ductile. Alpha-beta-phase titanium has a mechanical property which is in between both.
Titanium dioxide dissolves in the metal at high temperatures, and its formation is very energetic. These two factors mean that all titanium except the most carefully purified has a significant amount of dissolved oxygen, and so may be considered a Ti–O alloy. Oxide precipitates offer some strength (as discussed above), but are not very responsive to heat treatment and can substantially decrease the alloy's toughness.
Many alloys also contain titanium as a minor additive, but since alloys are usually categorized according to which element forms the majority of the material, these are not usually considered to be "titanium alloys" as such. See the sub-article on titanium applications.
Titanium alone is a strong, light metal. It is stronger than common, low-carbon steels, but 45% lighter. It is also twice as strong as weak aluminium alloys but only 60% heavier. Titanium has outstanding corrosion resistance to sea water, and thus is used in propeller shafts, rigging and other parts of boats that are exposed to sea water. Titanium and its alloys are used in airplanes, missiles and rockets where strength, low weight and resistance to high temperatures are important. Further, since titanium does not react within the human body, it and its alloys are used to create artificial hips, pins for setting bones, and for other biological implants. See Titanium#Orthopedic implants.
Grades of titanium[edit]
"Alloys may be supplied in the following conditions: Grades 5, 23, 24, 25, 29, 35, or 36 annealed or aged; Grades 9, 18, 28, or 38 cold-worked and stress-relieved or annealed; Grades 9, 18, 23, 28, or 29 transformed-beta condition; and Grades 19, 20, or 21 solution-treated or solution-treated and aged."[4]
"Note 1—H grade material is identical to the corresponding numeric grade (that is, Grade 2H = Grade 2) except for the higher guaranteed minimum UTS, and may always be certified as meeting the requirements of its corresponding numeric grade. Grades 2H, 7H, 16H, and 26H are intended primarily for pressure vessel use."[4]
"The H grades were added in response to a user association request based on its study of over 5200 commercial Grade 2, 7, 16, and 26 test reports, where over 99% met the 58 ksi minimum UTS."[4]
- Grade 1 is the most ductile and softest titanium alloy. It is a good solution for cold forming and corrosive environments.ASTM/ ASME SB-265 provides the standards for commercially pure titanium sheet and plate.[5]
- Grade 2 Unalloyed titanium, standard oxygen.
- Grade 2H Unalloyed titanium (Grade 2 with 58 ksi minimum UTS).
- Grade 3 Unalloyed titanium, medium oxygen.
- Grades 1-4 are unalloyed and considered commercially pure or "CP". Generally the tensile and yield strength goes up with grade number for these "pure" grades. The difference in their physical properties is primarily due to the quantity of interstitial elements. They are used for corrosion resistance applications where cost, ease of fabrication, and welding are important.
- Grade 5, also known as Ti6Al4V, Ti-6Al-4V or Ti 6-4, is the most commonly used alloy. It has a chemical composition of 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (maximum) iron, 0.2% (maximum) oxygen, and the remainder titanium.[6] It is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties (excluding thermal conductivity, which is about 60% lower in Grade 5 Ti than in CP Ti).[7] Among its many advantages, it is heat treatable. This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability.
"This alpha-beta alloy is the workhorse alloy of the titanium industry. The alloy is fully heat treatable in section sizes up to 15 mm and is used up to approximately 400 °C (750 °F). Since it is the most commonly used alloy – over 70% of all alloy grades melted are a sub-grade of Ti6Al4V, its uses span many aerospace airframe and engine component uses and also major non-aerospace applications in the marine, offshore and power generation industries in particular."[8]
"Applications: Blades, discs, rings, airframes, fasteners, components. Vessels, cases, hubs, forgings. Biomedical implants."[6]
- Generally, Ti-6Al-4V is used in applications up to 400 degrees Celsius. It has a density of roughly 4420 kg/m3, Young's modulus of 115 GPa, and tensile strength of 1000 MPa.[9] By comparison, annealed type 316 stainless steel has a density of 8000 kg/m3, modulus of 193 GPa, and tensile strength of 570 MPa.[10] Tempered 6061 aluminium alloy has a density of 2700 kg/m3, modulus of 69 GPa, and tensile strength of 310 MPa, respectively.[11]
- Ti-6Al-4V standard specifications include:[12]
- Grade 6 contains 5% aluminium and 2.5% tin. It is also known as Ti-5Al-2.5Sn. This alloy is used in airframes and jet engines due to its good weldability, stability and strength at elevated temperatures.[citation needed]
- Grade 7 contains 0.12 to 0.25% palladium. This grade is similar to Grade 2. The small quantity of palladium added gives it enhanced crevice corrosion resistance at low temperatures and high pH.[13]
- Grade 7H is identical to Grade 7 with enhanced corrosion resistance.[13]
- Grade 9 contains 3.0% aluminium and 2.5% vanadium. This grade is a compromise between the ease of welding and manufacturing of the "pure" grades and the high strength of Grade 5. It is commonly used in aircraft tubing for hydraulics and in athletic equipment.
- Grade 11 contains 0.12 to 0.25% palladium. This grade has enhanced corrosion resistance.[14]
- Grade 12 contains 0.3% molybdenum and 0.8% nickel.[14]
- Grades 13, 14, and 15 all contain 0.5% nickel and 0.05% ruthenium.
- Grade 16 contains 0.04 to 0.08% palladium. This grade has enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Grade 16H contains 0.04 to 0.08% palladium.
- Grade 17 contains 0.04 to 0.08% palladium. This grade has enhanced corrosion resistance.[citation needed]
- Grade 18 contains 3% aluminium, 2.5% vanadium and 0.04 to 0.08% palladium. This grade is identical to Grade 9 in terms of mechanical characteristics. The added palladium gives it increased corrosion resistance.[citation needed]
- Grade 19 contains 3% aluminium, 8% vanadium, 6% chromium, 4% zirconium, and 4% molybdenum.
- Grade 20 contains 3% aluminium, 8% vanadium, 6% chromium, 4% zirconium, 4% molybdenum and 0.04% to 0.08% palladium.
- Grade 21 contains 15% molybdenum, 3% aluminium, 2.7% niobium, and 0.25% silicon.
- Grade 23 contains 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium, 0.13% (maximum) Oxygen. Improved ductility and fracture toughness with some reduction in strength.[14]
- Grade 24 contains 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium and 0.04% to 0.08% palladium.
- Grade 25 contains 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium and 0.3% to 0.8% nickel and 0.04% to 0.08% palladium.
- Grades 26, 26H, and 27 all contain 0.08 to 0.14% ruthenium.
- Grade 28 contains 3% aluminium, 2.5% vanadium and 0.08 to 0.14% ruthenium.
- Grade 29 contains 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium and 0.08 to 0.14% ruthenium.
- Grades 30 and 31 contain 0.3% cobalt and 0.05% palladium.
- Grade 32 contains 5% aluminium, 1% tin, 1% zirconium, 1% vanadium, and 0.8% molybdenum.
- Grades 33 and 34 contain 0.4% nickel, 0.015% palladium, 0.025% ruthenium, and 0.15% chromium .[citation needed]
- Grade 35 contains 4.5% aluminium, 2% molybdenum, 1.6% vanadium, 0.5% iron, and 0.3% silicon.
- Grade 36 contains 45% niobium.
- Grade 37 contains 1.5% aluminium.
- Grade 38 contains 4% aluminium, 2.5% vanadium, and 1.5% iron. This grade was developed in the 1990s for use as an armor plating. The iron reduces the amount of Vanadium needed as a beta stabilizer. Its mechanical properties are very similar to Grade 5, but has good cold workability similar to grade 9.[15]
Titanium alloys used biomedically[edit]
- While having excellent biocompatibility,[16] Ti-6Al-4V suffers from poor shear strength and poor surface wear properties in certain loading conditions:[6]
Bio compatibility: Excellent, especially when direct contact with tissue or bone is required. Ti-6Al-4V's poor shear strength makes it undesirable for bone screws or plates. It also has poor surface wear properties and tends to seize when in sliding contact with itself and other metals. Surface treatments such as nitriding and oxidizing can improve the surface wear properties.[6]
- Ti-6Al-7Nb was developed as a biomedical replacement for Ti-6Al-4V alloy because Ti-6Al-4V contains vanadium, an element that has demonstrated cytotoxic outcomes when isolated.[17]:1 Ti-6Al-7Nb contains 6% aluminium and 7% niobium.[17]:18
Ti6Al7Nb is a dedicated high strength titanium alloy with excellent biocompatibility for surgical implants. Used for replacement hip joints, it has been in clinical use since early 1986.[18]

R.I.P. Blockbuster: Remaining US Stores to Be Closed
After years of struggling against the odds and barely surviving in a rapidly changing world, Blockbuster announced that it's officially set to close the remainder of its US stores. For some, this is a day or mourning. For others, a day of celebration. For all of us, it's just a reminder that the way we consume media has changed so drastically and so quickly that the thought of Blockbuster going out of business would have been unthinkable a decade ago.

Rosetta Stone vs college class?
Hello, I am studying French but I suppose this can apply for all languages. If the cost of Rosetta Stone was not a problem, compared to the average college basic class, how does Rosetta Stone hold up?
I read Rosetta Stone is bad but so was my college course. My professor (who was Ameircan and not French) would give us print outs and worksheets that she had collected from various books and peer to peer websites. Someare even incorrect! The work was 80% online material from a book/website interface. My professor was very unapproachable and in short, now I see she has a low score on RateMyProfessor. I felt I had an awful education starting out, everyone was essentially on their own in that class so just how much worse can Rosetta Stone be?
How much more would I learn with the software and other resources compared to only memorization and worksheets they teach at college? I do plan to go back to college simply to have the course on my record but I'd like to be far ahead this time and know what I am doing in advance. I do not want to rely on actually learning in these claasses, I know I will not with these horrible methods.
Will skills from Rosetta Stone push me to the front of the average intoduction college course or is it simply a waste of time? I understand I will not become fluent over night with either method but as a beginner can Rosetta Stone serve as a substitute for the average college course if my focus is to learn the language not memorize enough to pass a class?
Rosetta Stone is ok at the very beginning, but it can only do so much. All 5 levels of French only add up to 50-60 hours worth of language instruction (repetitive drills excluded). However, estimates are that native English speakers require roughly 700 hours of instruction/study in order to develop a working ability in French. So when all is said and done, RS will amount to less than 10% of what a student does to achieve semi-decent proficiency in French. The bigger strategic question to me is after completing Rosetta Stone in the first couple of months, what is done for the following 8 months to solidfy that French?
In my opinion, RS may serve only as an additional tool, it certainly helps grasp some vocabulary and sentance structure, but you may want to get some grammar explained, and write down some words and phrases that may not occur again, perhaps make and use some flash-cards. If you add a little listening and reading practise, this pretty much will be a learning prosess. But I think that RS as all-in-one learning tool is a word of marketing.
I highly recommend the Teach Yourself series. I learned a lot from Teach Yourself French. Have a look at RF1 also, they have a "radio français facile" which is quite helpful. You can listen to the news and check the transcript so that you get used to spoken French easily. Here's the link:
Watch movies. Listen to French music. Is there anything you are really passionate about? Why don't you try to read about it in French? Even the French Wikipedia would help. Since you're already familiar with the topic, it'll be easier for you to grasp the content. You can also get a few paid lessons here on italki. There are tons of teachers here and I'm sure you can find one adequate to your learning style and needs (and no, I'm not being paid to advertise lol).
The important thing is: try to get as much contact as you can with the language, especially real language, used by both native and non-native speakers in genuine interactions.
I don't rate RS very highly. I think it made me lazy as quite often you're just clicking on pictures. It can help with picking up some vocab but I don't think it does much with grammar. It's not worth the money. I think it you're going to spend money on learning materials I'd recommend Michel Thomas's course as it really makes you work hard and you start to pick it up. It's also cheaper than RS as I recall. It also makes you feel like you're involved in a class due to the way it's designed.

(WVLT) -- Saturday night, when the New England Patriots seek to become the first team to finish a season undefeated since 1972, WVLT will carry the action live.
The NFL has arranged with CBS and NBC for an unprecedented three-way national simulcast of the Patriots' game against the New York Giants, which was originally scheduled to air on the NFL Network only.
The game will take place at 8pm Eastern Standard Time.
The game will be the first three-way simulcast in NFL history, and the first simulcast of any kind since the first Super Bowl in 1967, when CBS and NBC broadcast the Packers-Chiefs game simultaneously.
Only the Giants stand in the way of the Patriots becoming the first NFL team to go 16-and-0 in the regular season.
The simulcast of the NFL Network feed is a major concession by league officials, who repeatedly said they would not show the game anywhere but on their network. But the NFL has faced mounting pressure from politicians, including Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy and Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter who had threatened to reconsider the league's antitrust exemption if it didn't make games available to more viewers.

10 things to know about the Cowboys' first opponent, the San Francisco 49ers: Suspensions and injuries galore on defense
Photo: Jeff Chiu/AP
Despite the suspensions, San Francisco's defense should be pretty good. They gave up 272 points last year, the third fewest in the NFL. From a yardage standpoint, the 49ers ranked fifth in the league, allowing 316.9 yards per game. Both their passing defense (7th) and their rushing defense (4th) ranked in the top 10.

Now that's funny - two people around the world with the same idea, at the same time.
My dad is about 75 or so, and has a couple Model T Fords from the 1920s that he drives a lot. He's active in the local Model T Ford club, and Detroit / Dearborn Michigan are only about 60 miles to the north of where I live.
Anyway, the Henry Ford Museum has several old car events, and it's about 1.5 miles from my girlfriend's house. I was at the last one, taking pics of a 1920s Indian motorcycle, using a 1920s 4x5 press camera, and the reaction was interesting. People were taking picture of me taking pictures! So that got me to thinking that there might be some interest (from the owners) in the photos.
The Indian's owner, I offered him the pics if I could sit on his bike, and he agreed. When I mailed him the photos a week later, he was dazzled. He'd never seen anything like 4x5 contact prints before, and members of his local vintage motorcycle club thought he'd found another old Indian. Didn't realize it was his.

U.S. support for action against the ttp "would only help the religious fanatics," he says.
An Afghan intelligence officer contends that Pakistan "encourages" ttp militants to fight in Afghanistan.
As news of the massacre spread online, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or ttp, claimed responsibility.
The actual gunmen had cited Osama bin Laden as their motive, but ttp was eager to bootstrap.
Attaullha, the ttp fighter, is similarly nonplussed by the lack of response to the raid.
Others, like the Tehrike e Taliban Pakistan (ttp) vowed to topple the Pakistani state itself.
Other ttp insurgents had established a security cordon around the jail blocking all roads in.
Yousafzai responded by writing a diary for the BBC Urdu Service describing life under the ttp, using the pen name Gul Makai.
"One of our factions, Junood ul Hifsa, did it," ttp spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told the AFP news agency.
The ttp had asked Sharif, while he was in the opposition, to serve as guarantor of any negotiation.

"I was inspired by the close up baby face in the example. The card truly reflected the meaning of our first baby's baptism ❤"
"I ordered these invitations for my twin sons' baptism. I was very happy with the quality of the paper, the design, the font used. I did not make any changes to the sample online, only personalized it with our information. Everyone who received the invitation commented how pretty it is. Not very many twin baptism invitations out there and especially invitations without pictures so I was very pleased to have found and ordered these. Great quality for the price."
"I was able to change the text to use the card as a save-the-date to my daughter's baptism instead of a regular invitation. The printing looks professional, and the design is very sweet."
"We absolutely loved our invitations for our daughters baptism! The invitations look exceptional the print and delivery were prompt, we were kept updated with the status throughout, would highly recommend!"
"I loved the pearl finish on the paper. The design is beautiful and classic. it conveyed the style of the event and our personal tastes."

2014 Pittsburgh Steelers Discussion Thread
Thought it was time to make a new one. Discuss everything Steelers here.
Updated mock:
1) Darqueze Dennard CB Michigan State
-I believe he is one of three guys who are this pick. I don't think Gilbert or Evans fall to them and Watkins is a pipe dream. Dennard needs work in zone coverage, but I love his nasty playing demeanor and skill set. He won't be rushed into action right away but I firmly believe he'll be a nice number 1 or 2 CB in the league once fully developed.
2) Kelvin Benjamin WR Florida State
-A part of me feels as if this is wishful thinking. The other part believes it can be true. He didn't run a fast 40. His hands are streaky. Those could push him down the board and into our laps. I think he's a first round guy, but with a lot of fast guys right behind him, I can see teams moving them ahead. I can also see Pittsburgh trading up depending on where he falls at. In the mean time, I'll have him slotted here.
3) Daquan Jones DE Penn State
-Productive guy who could go a round higher, but I believe his stock is in the third round. We need DL depth in the worst way. He could come in and compete and provide depth along the interior and as a 5-tech in our system. I have a feeling Tuitt will be around at this area too due to injury and crappy play. If so, I wouldn't mind grabbing him up and having Mitchell coach him up and his nice skill set.
4a) Rashaad Reynolds CB Oregon State
-We are gonna double dip at the CB position. I LOVE this player. Good man corner and can play zone. Good special teams player. Good ball skills. Physical. Fast. Can jump. Strong. He's everything you'd want in a corner. He's just a little small and has trouble flipping his hips and running down field. He'd be a nice nickel corner in our defense. Everytime I watch him I came away liking him more.
4b) Devonta Freeman RB Florida State
-We need running backs. Freeman doesn't excel in one area, but he's good in all of them. Compact build. Decent speed. Can pass block. Nice receiving option. Runs hard and angrily. He'd be a nice back to have on our team.
5) Prince Shembo OLB Notre Dame
-Productive in college and I believe he'd be a solid pass rusher in the NFL. Will never be a starter, but a solid change of pace rusher and special teamer.
6) Jalen Saunders WR Oklahoma
-We double dip on WR for a second year in a row. Saunders is a tiny slot guy who can turn a 3 yard play into a 73 yard play. I don't want Brown returning punts much longer and Saunders is one of the best to do it in the draft.
7a) Howard Jones OLB Shepard
-A one trick pony, but he does it with such great explosion that I'm OK with it. He is very raw and needs work, but with the teaching of Porter and Butler, I would like to see where he ends up as. He needs room to grow and I believe he could be a deadly situational pass rusher in our system if given time and patience.
7b) Khyri Thornton DE/NT Southern Miss
-Just another DL project for depth purposes.
Sweeet mock man!
And going back to the last thread, Benjamin is much sturdier from the waist down, Evans is more lanky, while Benjamin is more built. Id be happy with either!!!
As much as I love Dennard, I just don't think they value the CB position enough to take Dennard ... but if somehow if Benjamin would fall to the 2nd, then this would be perfect, 2 of my favorite players
Here is mine
I'll also add a 3rd comp , Won't go passed the 5th because who knows what'll happen
1 - Kelvin Benjamin, WR , FSU
-Yes I understand he's a boom or bust prospect but I just cannot let that potential passed me, and at worst he'd end up going to Bmore, Cinci or Clev ... I don't really want to play this guy 2 times a year mixed with what they already got. YR 1 Benjamin would mainly be used in Redzone, Slants and Fades, Projection 5+ TDs in YR 1
2 - Kyle Van Noy, ILB/OLB, BYU
- this is I wanted last year in the 1st rd, He didn't have the same kind of year but this position versatility he brings... He could start Inside next too Timmons, and provide depth at OLB if Jarvis or Worilds gets injured - kind of a 2 birds with 1 stone kind of pick
3rd - EJ Gaines, CB, Mizzou
- Gaines is molded to be a Steeler, He plays good off coverage and is really strong in run support. Shut Mike Evans down in their battle.
4 - Phillip Gaines, CB, Rice
- This guy is Ike Taylor 2.0 - Smaller School, all the athletic Tools - but Honestly I don't expect him to fall this far, but in Waltersmock he did, So that's what I'm going by - (Gaines and Gaines CB Duo would also be pretty cool)
5- DeAndre Coleman, DE , Cal
- Will bring some depth and added competition at the DE position with Arnfelt and Williams - I can see the starting Dline being, Heyward - Thomas - McClendon ... but we still need some depth
A couple newsworthy things I've found:
Arthur moats is visiting today. He'd be a nice pick up for our defense by playing ILB and OLB.
Cam Thomas is playing primarily DE for us.
Tony Pauline said Eric Ebron isn't falling past 15 since the team loves him. Colbert will be at his Pro Day this week.
dennard just isnt that good. i'd hate him with our first pick
other than that mock looks pretty sweet.
would you trade up for KB in the 2nd?
I think Dennard will be good in our system. He'll probably start out as a Keenan Lewis part, but once he learns zone, I believe he'll be good.
I would.
agree to disagree then
colbert said he only expects to receive 2 comp picks for the upcoming draft.
gotta be a 3rd for wallace. only question is 4th or 5th for lewis
I want Gilbert more, but I can see why the team loves Dennard. He's a feisty ass corner and I love it.
We're always surprised with comp picks. Remember when we got one for Keyaron Fox? lol
By the way, we signed Arthur Moats according to Pro Football Talk. I like this move a lot.
true, i guess its smarter to under evaluate your picks as opposed to doing the opposite.
and i like the moats pickup. #'s are like 750k. hes a solid player who should compete to play ilb i would think.
I don't know what to think of Ebron. On the one hand, he did great in the combine. Not quite Jimmy Graham great, but pretty good. Closer to Gronk. But on the other hand, when I see him in games, he underwhelms me. Very few plays where I think he can be a game-changing TE. He sorta reminds me of Greg Olsen.
QB Charlie Batch
QB Byron Leftwich
RB Rashard Mendenhall
RB Isaac Redman
WR Mike Wallace
TE Leonard Pope
OT Max Starks
OL Doug Legursky
NT Casey Hampton
LB Brandon Johnson
CB Keenan Lewis
S Ryan Mundy
S Will Allen
P Jeremy Kapinos
QB Bruce Gradkowski
RB LaRod Stephens-Howling
TE Matt Spaeth
TE Michael Palmer
OT Guy Whimper
CB William Gay
P Bryan Moorman
Matching them up:
QB Charlie Batch - Bruce Gradkowski
QB Byron Leftwich
RB Rashard Mendenhall - LSH
RB Isaac Redman
WR Mike Wallace
TE Leonard Pope - Matt Spaeth
OT Max Starks - Guy Whimper
OL Doug Legursky - CB William Gay
NT Casey Hampton - TE Michael Palmer
LB Brandon Johnson
CB Keenan Lewis
S Ryan Mundy
S Will Allen
P Jeremy Kapinos - Bryan Moorman
Eliminated Hampton due to the extra TE we signed, and Legursky for Gay, because I think they are comparable. Gay for Lewis doesn't work, due to deal size and playing time, but Legursky does. Same for Hampton and Palmer, IMO.
That leaves us with:
QB Byron Leftwich
RB Isaac Redman
WR Mike Wallace
LB Brandon Johnson
CB Keenan Lewis
S Ryan Mundy
S Will Allen
3rd for Wallace is safe to assume, Lewis is probably a fifth, though it might be a low 4th. I doubt we get anything for Leftwich, since he rarely played, but we might get something for Redman. Even though he played a lot last year, or at least more than Mendenhall, he didn't get a deal, so I put Mendenhall as eliminated due to LSH. If he does get us something, it's probably a 4th rounder.
Same for Mundy and Allen, both signed small deals but did play for us.
Brandon Johnson won't get us anything.
So best case scenario, we get a 3rd, 4th, and two sevenths. In all likelihood, we'll get a 3rd, 5th, and 7th.
Also, Terrelle Pryor might be released soon. I'd sign him, he still interests me as maybe a TE project or something.
We're getting a 3rd, 5th and 6th round pick for the losses of Wallace, Lewis and Mendenhall.
pretty much what we expected
too bad the money was so much different b/c lewis easily outplayed ellerbe this year and the ravens got a 4th for him (i'm guessing)
wait... baltimore got 2 4ths?!?!
for cary williams (3/17) and ellerbe?!?!
did our signing of gay really impact lewis's comp pick that much?
we got screwed.
now i am really surprised...
Watching Jordan Matthews. I want him in the second. Badly.
reed is the later pick meaning williams netted them a 4th
obviously i dont get it.
ive been watching some more jace amaro game tape and i stand corrected when i said he wasnt a great blocker before...
the ddue can block. obviously theyre never in a pro style offense there but he does his fair share of sticking his nose in from the slot and looks willing and able to go against DEs / LBs
he needs to learn to do that from a 3pt stance and to take on guys head up more often but i think he is capable.
i like his value much more than ebron
His value where is better than Ebron? Ebron is a top 20 guy, I have amaro 4th behind Ebron, ASJ, Niklas.
Jmo, but i dont see it with Amaro
better value meaning id rather have amaro in the 2nd than ebron in the first

Agent: Four teams interested in signing Furcal
Updated: December 1, 2008, 3:36 PM ETBy Jayson Stark | ESPN.com
Forget that speculation that Rafael Furcal could pick a team by the middle of this week.
Furcal's agent, Paul Kinzer, told ESPN.com Monday that he has previously scheduled business to attend to outside the United States this week, so "I don't see anything happening before the winter meetings."The A's and Giants have actively pursued Furcal over the last couple of weeks. But another reason Furcal is in no hurry to sign is that two other clubs have ...

UEFI! Native SATA 6Gb/s; seriously cheap
Really confusing SATA ports; pre-release drivers are slightly wonky.
We love Sandy Bridge, and we even like some aspects of the P67 chipset. But, we'll say it again: Intel's decision to cheap-out on SATA 6Gb/s will create massive port confusion. With the Asus board, we had to RTFM to figure out which port went to which controller and at what speed. The situation is murkier with the P67A-GD65. The board features eight SATA ports and tells you which are SATA 6Gb/s. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you which controller they're running off of.
Windows 7 is so smart, though, that it will boot a board on the Marvell controller without missing a beat. However, if you're running a SATA 6Gb/s drive, you'll want to be on the Intel PCH, which is a good clip faster than the Marvell part. Unfortunately, the European manual that came with our early review board didn't tell us which controller ran which ports. The only way to figure it out was to plug in the drive, boot the board, and see which controller initialized in the BIOS.
MSI's P67A-GD65 is a screaming deal.
But let's not get sidetracked. Despite this minor documentation issue (perhaps Europeans can sense what port to use), the P67A-GD65 is a solid board that's seriously cheaper than the Asus board on the facing page. And despite costing $60 less than the Asus P67 mobo, the P67A-GD65 is almost on par with its competitor. It has a secondary SATA 6Gb/s controller, an NEC USB 3.0 controller with two ports, and an additional two ports on a USB 3.0 dongle. What you don't get is the built-in Bluetooth features of the Asus board, nor its dual-Gigabit ports or front USB 3.0 bay, either. And while Asus gives you a choice of a Realtek network PHY or an Intel PHY, the P67A-GD65 gives you only the former. MSI does, however, give you access to Creative Lab's X-Fi algorithms. And in a tip of the hat to super-duper overclockers, the board also features a header to directly measure voltages off the board.
Like the Asus board, we tested whether this board could boot to a 3TB Western Digital drive, and both passed. Both also offered good USB 3.0 speed, ran SLI just fine, and offered comparable SATA 6Gb/s performance.
One feature that's slightly disappointing is the MSI ClickBIOS. MSI actually planned to release a board with UEFI more than a year ago, but that board never materialized. Still, we thought the early lead MSI had would have resulted in a highly polished UEFI interface. It's not terrible, but at times, the interface felt, well, like a BIOS, but with mouse navigation.
We tested both boards with some mild overclocking, pushing our 3.4GHz Core i7-2600K to 4.5GHz using the wimpy stock cooler. As expected, both passed just fine. Our only issue with the MSI board came with installing the drivers for the Creative audio. As with the Asus board, we'll chalk it up to early drivers or installers. For example, some of the drivers came on a USB key from the press office, so they're clearly not final.
Overall, the P67A-GD65 doesn't quite have the panache or super-smooth UEFI interface of the Asus, but it's also cheaper. In this economy, if that makes the difference to you owning a GeForce GTX 580, it's worth it.

To test SATA 6Gb/s, we used a Crucial C300 SATA 6Gb/s SSD on each controller. USB 3.0 performance was tested using an OCZ Enyo. To test SLI, we used two EVGA GeForce GTX 285 cards. The board was also booted with 16GB of Corsair DDR3/1333.

How to Celebrate Chanukah: 8 Days of Joyous Gift Giving
Chanukah is one of my most favorite holidays of the year. Why? It is a happy ending story of heroism and cooperation. Also (and I swear this is secondary), it lasts for over a week and includes the traditional eight days of gift-giving.
As I am a lover of gifts and surprises, the fun of Chanukah suits me well. For others who didn't grow up celebrating the holiday, there can be a quandry for them on what is an appropriate gift to give for Chanukah.
Every year, I get asked in person or by email what someone should get for their Jewish friend or their friend's kids – or both! Here are some suggestions, based on my childhood traditions and what I appreciate as a Jewish adult.
Seems that for about every occasion of Jewish gift-giving, books come in as the number one choice. For children, there are a number of Chanukah books that can be selected by age-appropriateness or family situation.
Some books that I have given my grandkids are:
- My First Chanukah, by Tomie de Paola
- How do Dinosaurs Say Happy Chanukah, by Jane Yolen
- My Two Holidays: A Hanukkah and Christmas Story, by Danielle Novack and Phyllis Harris.
Last year for Chanukah (and Christmas), I gave friends and family a Chanukah pop-up book, Chanukah Lights. It is a spectacular book and a work of art, as many pop-up books can be.
The beauty of this book is that it is appropriate for adults and kids alike. Children are fascinated by each scene, which appears magically as the pages are turned. Adults appreciate the artistic renderings and paper engineering.
I suggest that adults read it to young children to reduce the urge that they have to disassemble it page by page – I say from experience! If you are not certain which books the person has read or their specific taste in books, give an Amazon, Kindle or Nook gift card.

Hi -- Very impressed with your themes! Terrifico is just what I was searching for. The responsiveness is amazing.
Everything works very well. I'm have one issue. On my test server, the blog section on the home page worked great. The featured images filled the content areas and mouse-over showed the text - really nice!
On the live site however, the featured images in the blog section are thumbnail size in the upper left corner of the content areas. Has anyone else encountered this?
The site is live, so I have disabled the blog section on the home page. If you are able to take a look, I can enable it. The site is - innovatetec.com Thanks in advance for any help! -- Tom
BTW - Are you planning to offer premium versions with shortcodes, portfolio and contact added back in?

Mind blowing Awesome... Extreme high quality. Pleasing graphics. Fantastic. Thought provoking content.
Insightful, informed, objective A deeper, more rounded look at importantissues from around the world that are unlikely to make your nightly newscasts, and if they do will probably be skewed by individual ,organizational, and/or state bias.
Insight AJ did for me in my adulthood what the Dead Kennedys did for me during adolescence. And the magazine is like liner notes to add perspective to the extraordinary content.
Excellent Informative and an eye-opener. Definitely journalism at its best with detailed actual accounts and high quality images.
I love this. Its a prototype for what should be a e magazine. Plase add an option to remove completed editions. We have limited storage space.
Insightful and Beautiful This is how a digital magazine needs to be designed and organized. The writing and the images are brilliant as well.
