Topic: Shade Tolerant
Title: Shade trees not invasive to foundations and driveways
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I am in zone 9. What shade trees can I plant that will not be invasive to foundations or driveways? Thank you, Mr. Smarty Plants
ANSWER:The general thought is that trees with tap roots will prevent damage to nearby driveways, sidewalks and foundations. Certainly, avoiding trees with extensive lateral roots will help prevent damage. Mr. Smarty Plants answered a similar question a few days ago so part of the following is excerpted from the answer to that question:
"Although trees are generally divided into two groups by root type—tap root trees (such as oaks, hickory, walnut, conifers) and lateral, or fibrous, root trees (maples, ash, cottonwood)—this distinction is most evident as seedlings or saplings. Once the tree is planted and begins to mature, the distinctions between the root types become less pronounced. Then, the depth and lateralness of the roots is greatly dependent on the soil condition. Highly compacted soils, soils with low oxygen content and soils where the water table is near the surface are not likely to produce a strong tap root. Their roots are more likely to be lateral and located very near the surface with the majority of the roots located in the top 12 inches of soil. Also, it is important to realize that the spread of the roots can be at least 2 to 4 times greater than the drip line of the branches.
You can read the recommendations from Iowa State University Extension Service for Sidewalks and Trees which bases the distance trees should be planted near pavement on the mature height of the tree. Their recommendations are:
1. trees with a mature height of less than 30 feet, 3-4 feet from pavement,
2. trees with a mature height of 30 to 50 feet, 5-6 feet from pavement,
3. trees with a mature height of greater than 50 feet, at least 8 feet from pavement.
You could consider installing some sort of root barrier between the tree and the wall. Here is more information about root barriers."
Here are some large shade trees that are considered tap root trees that are recommended for Harris County:
Quercus macrocarpa (bur oak) and more information
Juglans nigra (black walnut) and more information
Carya illinoinensis (pecan) and more information
Ostrya virginiana (hophornbeam) and more information
Quercus virginiana (live oak) and more information
Quercus alba (white oak) and more information
You can use the Texas Forest Service Texas Tree Planting Guide to select other trees according to your own criteria.

I have tons of spare IDE 3.5" hard drives laying around my home. I installed one of these in my car and it seems to be fine so far, but then again it hasn't really gotten a real road test yet.
I'm suspecting after a little while I'm going to start getting BSOD's.
Do I need a laptop hard drive, or is it *just a good idea*? What is the likelihood of me killing this drive?

I was planning on using a 250GB hard drive so I could store lots of music and movies on it. If there's a high chance of killing it, I'd much rather spend 100 bucks on a laptop hard drive, and throw this one in my file server.
I've been running nothing but full size HDDs in my car for 4 years. I've never once had one die on me.
A quick search will yield a TON of discussions about this very topic on this forum. A number of people claim bad results with full size as do a number of people claim bad results with laptop drives.
Use your full size drives and save some money.

I keep a backup drive on-hand that I can just copy info to when I start noticing problems (I check eventviewer at least once a day). If you catch it in time, you can actually get all the info off the suspect drive before it dies completely rather than using your backup (tape or cd's usually). Watch event viewer for disk errors in SYSTEM...more than two or three in a given day means you got problems.
This method has only failed me twice (once when more than one drive died at the same time, a fluke...and another time when the drive died before I could get the info off, meant a day and a half of copying off my backup dvds)

If your sex life is less than exciting, you are not alone. A recent study of American men ages 20 to 40 anni found that 20% had not had sex in a year, while an additional 25% had sex once a month or less. And these are just the men who were willing to admit it.
"Low sex drive is much more common than most people think," explains Pepper Schwartz, Professor of Sociology at the University of Washington and co-author of "The Normal Bar: The Surprising Secrets of Happy Couples."
"You may not realize that some unexpected or surprising things may be killing your sex drive," Prof. Schwartz says.
Below are 4 common causes of low sex drive, as follows;
No. 1: Medications. Antidepressants and hypertension meds may lift your mood and lower blood pressure, but they may also decrease the sex drive of men and women alike.
"It is widely known that most of the mood mediators known as SSRIs like Prozac and Zoloft can inhibit sexual interest and/or the ability to have an orgasm," Prof. Schwartz says.
Blood pressure meds such as beta blockers and diuretics can lead to erectile dysfunction because they decrease blood flow. Drugs for diabetes also "often inhibit sexual drive and capability," adds Pro. Schwartz.
Sex-drive solution: If you suspect a lower libido is a side effect of your meds, talk to your doctor about switching to a different drug. Sometimes it takes trial and error, but it is often possible to find a drug that does not affect libido but is still effective.
No. 2: Sleep deprivation. University of Chicago researchers tracked changes in sex drive in a group of healthy men allowed to get only five hours of shut-eye per night. In just 1 week, their testosterone levels were 15% lower than normal.
This is significant because it's "about the amount that occurs with normal aging by 10 to 15 yrs," explains lead researcher Eve Van Cauter, Professor of Medicine. This isn't good news considering that testosterone has a direct link to your sex drive.
It also affects your mood and energy level. Plus, being tired is a top reason why many people do not want to have sex.
"Sleep disorders cause fatigue and you need energy for sex," adds Prof. Schwartz.
Sex-drive solution: Sleep may be the best medicine for boosting things in your bedroom because most testosterone is released while you snooze. Try getting the recommended 7-8 hrs a night. Not only will you be more energetic and alert, your sex life may be, too. One way to enhance your sleep is to exercise regularly and do so within several hours before hitting the sack.
No 3: Excess body fat. Feeling pudgy can make you self-conscious about stripping down, but that's not the only reason why being overweight can hurt your sex life. Extra pounds, especially around the middle, lower testosterone levels.
Researchers studied the link between weight loss and men's testosterone levels by dividing almost 900 men into three groups: one exercised for 150 mins per week and changed their diets, another took diabetes medication, and a 3rd took placebo pills.
Those in the diet and exercise group not only lost weight, an average of 17 pounds, but 46% had an increase in testosterone levels. The 2 other groups saw no change.
Sex-drive solution: Break a sweat and slim down to give your testosterone levels, and your sex drive a boost. Although weight lifting is healthy, cardio workouts increase blood flow that is vital for sexual health.
No. 4: Stress. "Anxiety and stress lower testosterone levels, which inhibits sexual interest," says Prof. Schwartz. When your body is busy releasing stress hormones like cortisol, it does not produce as much testosterone. Stress also saps energy and can disrupt sleep.
Sex-drive solution
Once again, exercise is an answer. It is a great stress-reliever, helping shake off anxiety and causing the release of feel-good brain chemicals called endorphins. Relaxation exercises also can help, as can meditation and massage.
Find the stress-busting activity that works best for you and do it regularly.
Shake off the anxiety, live well.

Best Young Environmentalists (2007)
The Aspira Association is a national nonprofit dedicated to the education and leadership development of Puerto Rican (and other Latin) kids. Since 1961 the group has created programs to teach reading, math, and science; and increase educational resources, health, highway safety, and professional acumen. It's worked in the areas of language, economic development, arts, and culture, and has created a network of information centers and tangential organizations such as APEX (Aspira Parents for Excellence). All wonderful stuff. But worthy of special recognition are the group's recycling efforts, specifically Working Together for a Healthy Environment, a collaboration in early 2006 with Miami Dade College. Aspira also joined Keep North Miami Beautiful, an anti-litter initiative. Aspira is inspiring.

I'm a sucker for this sound. It's The Felice Brothers. I'd recommend it for just the piano break alone, for the way it starts to tip over, but the lyrics are interesting too. There's a man drifting off to sleep in an "attic full of make believe" while carolers sing in the street. Later he watches a woman smile on TV and ends up "laying with last year's love, high as the moon above."
The order forms offering music for the year-end festivities begin crossing my desk in September. All lovely, pretty stuff. All pretty much the same as last year. And then we have a banner year, and newly minted magic fills the airwaves. So here's a short list of holiday CD's I found this year--some with a new take on old pieces, and some with something entirely new.

The video game Rock Band lets you sing into a microphone that's plugged into your game console. If you sing the right pitches and the right rhythms, you earn points. A bored flutist recently made this stunning discovery:
While reading through my emails, I found one slugged "Touching story RE: Andre Watts." It both broke my heart and reaffirmed all that we can do with music, and with TV. I was once told that Andre Watts is a great and generous man. This confirms that beyond all doubt. Enjoy.
Fresh from Athens and just a few days after singing Mahler's Das Lied Von Der Erde at Carnegie Hall, tenor Gregory Kunde (who lives in Rochester) will pick up a baton on November 1 at St. Anne Church and conduct Brahms' German Requiem. If you've never seen him sing, here's his performance of Bellini's "A te o cara" from I Puritani.
Translation: To you, oh dear one, love at times lead me furtively and in tears; now it guides me to your side in joy and exultation. At the radiance of such a beautiful hour if I remember my torment, it redoubles my happiness, and I cherish my heart's beating.

Wish I would have went modular, but whatever. The PSU has been reliable since November of last year and I can't complain. More than enough wattage for this upgrade and I couldn't be happier.
No problems yet. Lots of cables, sort of an issue if you're a freak over cable management.

I really like this powder. I was looking for a powder that would double as a setting and powder foundation if I wanted it to, this is it! My all time favorite is the Laura Mercier Pressed Mineral Powder, but the coverage in that is so full, if I use it to set my liquid foundation, my face looks really cakey. This powder eliminates that problem! I love it. It also keeps my combination/oily skin relatively matte all day, while still keeping my foundation in tact. Great great powder, with an amazing color selection, beautiful packaging, and versatile coverage.
The scent in this is SUPER strong, and really mature, but it usually goes away, and does not break me out like most Lancome face products do. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a multipurpose face powder with a great color range!

Department stores are not carrying the fragrance free version of this anymore. I complained because I cannot stand the scent of the regular version and have used the fragrance free version for years, probably since it came out! The sales associate at a Major department store at the mall (can I not say which one?) ordered my fragrance free matte bisque II and it was sent to my home free of charge for the inconvenience. Love everything about it, the coverage, color, convenience and classy compact. Try it.

I have it in Matte Porcelaine 1. It's a little bit light for my skin tone , but somehow it doesn't look chalky or ghostly. It gives light coverage, has matte velvet finish. Looks very natural on my skin. It lasted me for a year and I used it every single day. It's good for touch ups and shine control in summer.
I usually use it over my foundation. Sometimes when I don't have time I use it over my moisturizer , but only if I don't have breaks outs. It doesn't cake or crese.
I love the fragrance. I would say it smells like French powder( if you understand what I mean). Not overwheing, for me.
It comes with two sponges. One is a thin one for a sheer coverage, the other one is thicker for full coverage ( as I understood it). I use only the thin one, it's perfect for me.
The price may seem expensive (30 or 34), but it lasts long enough plus it's a good quality powder which delivers.
Overall I love it, but I like to experiment with make up that's is why I stopped using for the last two years.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure

I have used this powder for 20 years now. I'd recently started experimenting with other brands, but after spending tons on money trying to find something that might be better, I've come to the conclusion that there isn't anything better for me. I wear Matte Porcelaine Delicate. It has a nice pink tone that suits my skin perfectly. Great coverage alone over a moisturizer or primer and flawless coverage over liquid makeup. For those complaining about the smell, it does come in a fragrance free formula!! I personally like the scent and don't find it too overpowering, but I realize some people are more sensitive to how cosmetics smell.

I received this as a free gift with purchase and I didn't really think anything of it I just threw it in the back of my make up box and forgot about it. But for some reason I grabbed it the other day and used it and realized how wonderful it really is. Mind you I have dry skin, however, I use a moisturizer then a primer then a liquid foundation so I just like a little powder to "set" my make up sometimes (sometimes I go without if I want to look dewy).
I like how this looks over my foundation. It definitely doesn't get cakey or look like I'm wearing make up at all. You know how sometimes powder sits on top of your skin and just looks like too much make up, well this doesn't do that it just looks really natural. Also, this is great just over my moisturizer when I'm feeling lazy and I don't feel like doing a full face in the morning.
I didn't have an issue with finding my shade, however, I don't let other people pick my shade for me because they are stupid and they always pick a shade too dark for me no matter what I tell them, then they put it on me and they are like "oh yeah, you are right". Duh. I'm 32 I think I know what color I am. Plus, y'all gotta be careful picking out colors in stores because the lighting often sucks. Just keep your receipts in case you have to exchange. I think Lancome has plenty of colors, but that is just me. And I have really rosy cheeks so I stay away from anything that can make me appear more pink and I use Bisque II in the summer and it is fine. I would have to choose something lighter for winter though.
I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the price. It is right in line with comparable products. I mean seriously, you can't compare this to drug store brands, that is not fair. But if you compare this to Laura Mercier or Dior or other high end brands it falls in line price wise. I think it is worth $36.00. That is pretty much what I expect to pay for a powder. I mean I have most certainly paid more in the past for a crappier product.

I have chocolate colored skin and matte suede IV was a decent match..not perfect....seems like it has a mild rosey hue to it. For the price, I can't say I'm overly impressed. Also, the fragrance is annoying. It doesn't stink; i just don't get the point of putting perfume in a face powder. I will likely return it and either be satisfied with L'oreal True Match powder in Cocoa or MUFE Duo in Chocolate. This is the kind of powder/shade that i would have to apply slowly and carefully so i don't look crazy and i just don't have time for that. I need to be able to use my pressed powder on the go.
I will definitely be returning this. I used it today all over my face and it makes me look gray and sullen. It will probably work for you if oyu already have nice skin but I have acne spots that I like to conceal at least a little. I don't like it at all.

If you are looking for a matte finish, THIS IS AMAZING, my holy GRAIL, like no words can explain this, for dry skin, i know you arent suppose to be using powder, but this doesnt show my dry skin, i use this all over my face, its long lasting, giving me a matte finish, it might be expensive but its a well spent product. check it out, youll be please.

I've used this on and off...I never realized how good it was until I recently started using it again. My mom bought this for me because she wanted the free gift and didn't need anymore makeup lol. I got matched to the color Matte Honey III, and it matches my skin tone pretty well. The smell is a little strong, but I don't mind it too much. The finish is nice, never too powdery or cakey. It doesn't leave a white cast when I take photos, which a major plus! I do get slightly oily and this does help, although it doesn't last a long time but it's easy to reapply. It's just an overall really nice and soft feeling powder that does what I need it to and matches my skin. It is a little pricey, but with the free gift with purchase, it isn't too bad. It's better than most other powders i've tried, so i'll stick with it!
Age: 25-29

This product is great for minimal coverage. I don't like to wear foundation for work so I just put this powder on and it's great!

Skin: Very Oily, Medium, Not Sure

this product looks a little bit different from when i bought it.. The coverage was just medium for me. It wasn't terrible but i really could not STAND the smell so i gave it to my mom.

WWE Releases: A Necessary Evil To Change
People definitely reacted to the cuts made by WWE yesterday. The big bombshell after the realization that 3MB had played their last song was the release of JTG. He had become the "internet hero" of employment in the WWE. Most of the names mentioned are more "cult heroes" for the IWC than any kind of major performers being released.

Burke Trend, Baron Trend
Burke St John Trend, Baron Trend GCB CVO PC(2 January 1914 – 21 July 1987)[1] was a British civil servant and later Rector of Lincoln College, Oxford.
Trend was educated at Whitgift School and Merton College, Oxford, where he obtained first class honours in classics. He then joined the Civil Service, spending most of his career in the Treasury. He became Cabinet Secretary under both Harold Wilson and Ted Heath between 1963 to 1973.
Trend was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in the 1953 Birthday Honours.[2] He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the 1955 New Year Honours,[3] promoted to Knight Commander (KCB) in the 1962 Birthday Honours[4] and a Knight Grand Cross in the 1968 New Year Honours.[5] On 7 March 1974 he was created a life peer as Baron Trend, of Greenwich in Greater London.[6]
He led an investigation in the 1970s into allegations of penetration of the British Secret Services from before World War II until the 1960s. His conclusion was that there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations. Peter Wright in his memoirs, Spycatcher, discusses Trend and his report.[7]
A son, Michael Trend, was a Member of Parliament(Conservative) in the period 1992--2005. Another son, Dr. Patrick Trend, FRCP, has worked as a consultant neurologist. The eldest of the three children was Caroline Trend. Grandchildren are Alexander, Cassandra, Hector, and Tabitha.

text: Kathie Sutin Kathie Sutin Want more jobs? Spend more money on mass transit By Kathie Sutin • Sep 2, 2010 The St. Louis area could create more jobs if a greater portion of its transportation funding went to mass transit rather than to building roads and highways, a new study by the Public Policy Research Center of the University of Missouri-St. Louis shows. John Nations, new head of Metro, wants public transit to boost growth By Kathie Sutin • Sep 1, 2010 File photo When Chesterfield mayor John Nations took on the job earlier this of running the campaign for Proposition A to help an ailing Metro, he had no idea that a few months later he would become the agency's new CEO. "It was the furthest thing from my mind," he says. Metro's service restoration shifts into gear on Monday By Kathie Sutin • Aug 25, 2010 On Monday Metro will restore much of the service it cut in March 2009 -- but if you assumed your bus will be back, you might be disappointed. The "restoration" won't be a time warp back to March 29, 2009, the day before Metro made massive service cuts in the face of a major budget shortfall. Ray Friem, Metro's chief operating officer of transit services, prefers to call Monday's change a "redefinition" of Metro's service. Riders react to Metro's restorations of service By Kathie Sutin • Jul 20, 2010 Nearly a month into the restoration of Metro service, some Metro riders have jumped back aboard while others are still waiting for their bus. The June 28 restoration, which Metro called a "soft launch," mainly increased frequency on MetroLink and the most crowded bus routes, said Jessica Mefford-Miller, Metro's chief of planning and system development.

Strife: Quest for the Sigil, referred to as Strife, is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rogue Entertainment and published by Velocity Inc. in 1996. It was the last commercially released standalone PC game to utilize the id Tech 1 engine from id Software. The plot takes place in a world taken over by a religious organization know as "The Order"; the protagonist, an unnamed mercenary (sometimes referred to as Strifeguy), becomes a member of the resistance movement which aims to topple the Order's oppressive rule.
Strife added some role-playing game elements to the classic first-person shooter formula, such as allowing players to talk to other characters in the game's world or improve the protagonist's abilities. Contemporary reviews praised these innovations and the story, but also criticized the quality of the graphics and the obsolete engine. Years after its release, the game was retrospectively considered to have been underappreciated in its day, and described as a precursor to games such as Deus Ex.
An enhanced version of the game, Strife: Veteran Edition, also dubbed The Original Strife: Veteran Edition, was developed and published by Night Dive Studios and released on Steam on December 12, 2014.[2]
Strife's gameplay is standard for the first-person shooter genre; the action is observed from the protagonist's viewpoint, and most of the game involves combat with the Order's infantry and war robots.[3] The main character begins with just a dagger, but more powerful weapons, such as a crossbow or a flamethrower can be found throughout the game.[4] The protagonist also has an inventory where he can keep items for later use, such as first aid kits for healing, protective armor, or gold coins.[5]
The game contains numerous friendly or neutral characters with whom the player can converse or trade. These characters often assign the player character missions, thus advancing the plot.[1][4] If the player fires a weapon while not in a combat situation, it usually sets off an alarm and makes the guards attack the protagonist; however, certain weapons – the dagger and poisonous crossbow bolts – allow attacking enemies stealthily without activating the alarm.[1][6][7]
Unlike most other first-person shooters of the time, Strife does not follow a linear series of levels. Instead, the town of Tarnhill acts as a central hub from which the player can travel back and forth between various areas, which stay the same as they were when the player left them.[7]
The player character has two numerical attributes, accuracy and stamina, which can be improved at certain points in the game. The first attribute increases the accuracy of ranged weapons, while the latter increases the maximum amount of health.[1][7]
The game is set some time after a catastrophic comet impact, which brought a deadly virus onto the planet. The resulting plague caused deaths of millions of people, while other victims were mutated and began hearing the voice of a malevolent deity. They formed an organization called "The Order" and enslaved the rest of the populace.[8] However, a rag-tag resistance movement, called "The Front", is trying to topple The Order's reign.[1]
The unnamed protagonist of the game is a wandering mercenary, captured by Order troops near the town of Tarnhill.[1] After killing the guards and escaping, he comes in contact with a man named Rowan, who makes him an offer to join the Front. The protagonist receives a communication device through which he can remain in contact with a female member of the Front, codenamed Blackbird.[9][10] From then on, Blackbird provides assistance and commentary throughout the game. The protagonist heads to the Front's base, where the rebel leader, Macil, sends him on a number of missions in order to weaken the Order. After several acts of sabotage, the Front proceeds to assault the Order's castle; the protagonist, accompanying them in the attack, finds and kills a major member of the Order called "The Programmer".[11] He loses consciousness upon touching the weapon that the Programmer had been using.
The mercenary wakes up in the castle, now taken over by the Front. Macil explains that the Programmer's weapon is one of the five fragments of the "Sigil", a powerful weapon worshipped by the Order. He orders the protagonist to find the remaining four.[12] To this end, the mercenary visits a knowledgeable being called "The Oracle", who reveals that the next fragment is being held by another of the Order's leaders, The Bishop.[13] After killing the Bishop and acquiring the second fragment, the protagonist returns to the Oracle only to be told that the third fragment is being held by Macil himself; the Oracle claims that Macil is a traitor who has been using the protagonist as a pawn in his scheme.[14] At this point, the player must make a decision: either disbelieve the Oracle and kill it, or trust the Oracle and kill Macil. The choice has bearing on the rest of the plot.
Assuming the player trusts Macil and kills the Oracle - acquiring the third fragment - he receives another task from Macil: to deactivate a factory, built on the comet's impact site,[15] where the Order is turning captured people into "bio-mechanical soldiers."[16] Upon completing his mission, the protagonist learns that Macil has gone insane; he returns to the base and attempts to speak to Macil, who declares in his madness that he wishes to free the "one god", then attacks the protagonist.[17] Upon killing Macil, the protagonist receives the fourth Sigil fragment. He then returns to the factory, where lies the laboratory of the Loremaster, another of the Order's leaders. After killing Loremaster and thus acquiring the final Sigil piece, he proceeds to use the weapon to unlock a door leading to the comet's impact site.[18] Inside, he finds an extraterrestrial spaceship. Within the ship waits an alien being known as "The Entity"; it is the one responsible for creating the Order and taking over the minds of mutated people.[19] The mercenary kills it with the Sigil; its death means the end of the Order. He then finally meets Blackbird face to face. She tells him that his victory allowed mankind to create a vaccine for the virus, then kisses him.[20]
The plot takes a different direction if the player decides to trust the Oracle and immediately kill Macil. Once he does so (claiming Macil's Sigil piece in the process), the Oracle dispatches him to the Loremaster's laboratory.[21] Having killed the Loremaster and obtained the fourth fragment of the Sigil, the protagonist returns to the Oracle, who then reveals that it was using him all along in a bid to acquire the complete Sigil, use it to free the "one god", and attain eternal life.[22] The mercenary kills the Oracle and, with all five fragments of the Sigil now in his possession, heads to the alien ship. There he encounters the Entity; however, the being speaks with Blackbird's voice, and implies that it was manipulating the protagonist throughout the game in order to regain freedom and take over the planet.[23] After killing the Entity, the ending sequence is shown, this time less optimistic: the cure for the virus has not been invented and mankind's future is uncertain.[24]

Strife was originally being developed by Cygnus Studios, the creators of Raptor: Call of the Shadows, for id Software. However, Cygnus cancelled the game when their founder, Scott Host, decided to move back to Chicago where he grew up.
Since the original source code to the game was lost by Rogue Entertainment, game engine recreations of Strife were created by Doom source port developers through reverse engineering, notably by Jānis Legzdiņš (author of the Doom source port Vavoom), Randy Heit (author of ZDoom), Samuel Villarreal (author of SvStrife), and James Haley (author with Samuel Villareal of Chocolate Strife). Except for the last, these allow for high resolution graphics modes, better mouselook, and expanded modding capabilities.
Strife was ported to the Commodore Amiga in 2013.
Strife received quite positive reviews upon its release. Reviewers took note of the novel gameplay: unlike most previous first-person shooters, such as Doom, the player must cooperate with friendly characters in Strife, while killing everyone in sight ends badly.[6][4][27][28] Some reviews praised the story,[6][4][29] but the reviewer in Next Generation criticized it for being too linear and the choices being illusionary.[26]
The voice-acting in the game was generally rated positively;[4] in particular, the voice and personality of Blackbird was praised by some reviewers,[6][29] with GameSpot's Tal Blevins describing her voice as "by far the sexiest thing to ever resonate from my computer speakers."[4]
Strife's graphics were overall rated poorly. The reviewers criticized the game for using the obsolete Doom engine, which they considered especially jarring when compared to more modern games such as Duke Nukem 3D or Quake.[6][4][5][30] However, the hand-drawn illustrations which appear during dialogues and cutscenes were generally considered to be of good quality.[4][28] Some reviewers doubted the innovativeness of the gameplay, pointing out that similar ideas were already used in e.g. CyberMage: Darklight Awakening.[30][5] Another aspect of the game which drew some ire was limiting the player to a single savegame slot, especially since making a wrong decision could make the game unwinnable.[26][6]
Years after its release, retrospective reviews of the game were more positive. The reviewer of jeuxvideo.com recommended Strife for first-person shooter fans.[3] Two articles about the game were published on the PC Gamer website. Richard Cobbett described the game in his "Saturday Crapshoot" series; he considered Strife to be an underappreciated game, but believed that it had not aged well.[31] Paul Dean likewise concluded that Strife did not receive the attention it deserved back in its day, and encouraged readers to play the game.[7] Both journalists compared Strife to the later Deus Ex, a more commercially successful attempt to combine the first-person shooter formula with role-playing elements.[31][7]

Every household has a standard set of electrical appliances. One of the most commonly used appliances is an air conditioner. People purchase it to combat the sweltering climate. It is one of the most sought after appliances in tropical countries. With the purchase of an air conditioner, comes the need for its maintenance and servicing. When your air conditioner goes out of order, you need expert technicians to fix it. It is advisable that you avail of the services of AC repair Doral Florida agency. It employs only factory trained and certified technicians.
Alternatively, you have the choice of hiring local electrician to restore the air conditioner. The professional technician is ideal choice when it comes to getting your air conditioner up and running. He can detect the fault quickly. Unlike other electrical appliance like tube light or fan, air conditioner requires good amount of investment. The process of repairing varies for each air conditioner depending upon its brand, model and technology used.
A recommendation or a word of mouth is something that leads a person to develop confidence in other person or company. A service provider with good reputation is an assurance of honesty, integrity and quality.
Our air conditioner was not blowing enough cool air initially. After a couple of days, it stopped functioning. I do not remember exactly but I believe this was the third or fourth time that our appliance was giving the same trouble. Earlier we had approached a local service provider in our vicinity. The local service provider lived up to its low reputation. Every month the same problem would occur. I was really desperate to get rid of this recurring trouble!
I had already decided to bid adieu to the local service provider and that is why I started browsing internet looking for some reliable company. I came across this AC repair Hollywood Florida company that had been operating in and around Florida for more than a decade. It provided comprehensive services for all kinds of air conditioners and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system irrespective of their brands, make and model.
I immediately called the company to get my air conditioner examined. The technician reached my place in 15 minutes. He was professional yet friendly. He examined the air conditioner and detected fault in no time. He changed the compressor and cleaned tiny dirt particles from the system. He also checked the thermostat settings and mode. He examined the drainage pipe. The technician guy explained to me about quarterly maintenance system. He told me that regular maintenance was necessary to keep the machine running smoothly and prevent total breakdown. Ducts require regular cleaning. Clean ducts are necessary for pollution free air.
He gave me valuable tips to ensure smooth functioning of air conditioning system. I jotted down all his advices. I am very thankful to AC repair Pembroke Pines Florida company for helping me get rid of all the menace! As it offers round the clock service, I can even call them in middle of night in case my air conditioner goes kaput.

The $100 bln telco is talking to cable group Liberty Global about an asset swap. Vodafone shares fell, suggesting disappointment among investors who'd thought a merger was on the cards. Smaller scale M&A is probably the right way forward, but any structure will be complex.
European telecoms will dial up more deals
Investors have brightened as M&A has swept the sector. Thanks to BT, Britain is up next. More mergers could follow in France, Italy and Belgium. What's not to like? Well, windfalls from big cross-border deals looks distant and valuations already price in most of the good news.
BT is in strong position for mobile M&A
The fixed-line telco has shaken up UK communications by pushing into TV and now mobile. The reward is that BT has a choice of two mobile networks to buy, O2 or EE, and few likely counter-bidders. A 10 bln stg deal would help lift sales and protect BT's broadband business.
Qualcomm signals $2.5 bln belief in Bluetooth
The $120 bln U.S. chipmaker has bid for Britain's CSR. It is betting the "Internet of things" will bring rapid growth in Bluetooth-linked cars, stereos and watches. But paying 27 times 2015 earnings looks rich, especially as rival suitor Microchip warns of industry weakness.
China smartphones set to pick off global giants
Home-grown manufacturers dominate in the People's Republic, shipping three in four phones in the quarter ending June. In the rest of the world, their share is less than 20 percent. Yet low costs are helping them dial in new emerging market customers. Global rivals face a fight. Read the view
Facebook's biggest risk lies in palm of your hand
Half of the social network's 845 mln users now access it through a phone, and that number is surging. Yet Facebook receives virtually no display advertising revenue from small screens. The shift to mobile Internet use could be Mark Zuckerberg's biggest threat - and he knows it.
RIM doesn't need to remain Canadian
The struggling BlackBerry maker is weighing its options, from joint ventures to a sale. Despite past form, some officials' preference to keep the company Canadian shouldn't worry would-be foreign buyers too much. RIM's declining sales and significance present a bigger challenge.
Profit first casualty in China's mobile ad war
As China's 560 million web users go mobile, online giants face a dilemma over how to corner the smartphone ad market. Ideas and scale both count. Tencent has killer app WeChat, while Baidu is offering users storage on its servers. Whoever wins, margins are likely to come down.
Facebook mobilizes back to square one
The social network's stock finally traded above the price set at its messy debut 14 months ago. Founder Mark Zuckerberg has made Facebook's platform work on smartphones and tablets as his tech rivals flounder. Even so, he doesn't deserve a thumbs-up from investors just yet.
Google dips hands into messy local search
Google's mobile ambitions make this a natural pairing. Yet Yelp's untidy human element may fit awkwardly with Google's clean algorithmic bent.

4. A Yard of Beer
Beer in and of itself is a fine drink to sneak into a movie. It's really the yard of it that's the hard part. You will almost certainly be stopped by an usher, even if you try to sneak the yard in by concealing it in your extra baggy pants. You'll also block the view of those behind you when you tip the yard up to get the last bit of beer. Also, after consuming that much beer, you are going to have to pee the entire second half of the movie. To eliminate most of these problems, just try to sneak in a half yard instead.

They are in Korea. Go to their site because they have other colors and what they call "the Gun Shot" sling. There's a hand strap also. Very nice looking and well made cases. The site is english friendly so you won't have a hard time navigating around. You can look up the exchange rate and they're not at all expensive. I'm deciding on the RX100 or maybe the Nex 7 but if I do I'm going to get one of those cases.

I had the great pleasure of trying out some Detour Activity Bars. I was also asked to post my feedback on these bars so here we go
They were three different types of bars:
1.) Detour Runner Bar-Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar
This bar was good. It was soft in texture ( I like this cause some bars seem to get hard when you purchased them). I'm not a runner as much as an avid biker, but I still tried this bar after running on the treadmill after the gym. It was a great, quick fix til I was able to make a meal.
2.) Detour Biker Bar-Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bar
I like this bar I think there needs to be alittle more work on the taste, but overall I liked it. It states its a dark chocolate bar, which I believe it needs more of that dark chocolate flavor. Its a little too sweet. Now I'm an endurance mountain and road rider and I even brought a few for my friends to try. One person mentioned that dark chocolate has more of a bitter flavor taste to it and that this bar lacked that flavor. I did however like the raspberry flavor. One thing I felt that was missing was softness, definitely not as soft as the runner bar. Its a bar I would take on a long ride with me. One thing I felt that was missing was softness, definitely not as soft as the runner bar.
3.) Detour Core Strength Bar-I just ate this bar after any workout being going to the gym, biking etc. Nothing I can mention in regards to this bar that I haven't already covered.
I haven't had the opportunity to taste all the flavors. There are 3 types of bars with different flavors. The chocolate chip cookie bar was the best as far as flavor.
I thought these bars are off to a great beginning as far as each bar having a beneafit for a specific activity.
The biker bar is an all natural energy bar with "Rhodiola" to help improve muscle stamina and recovery.
The runner bar is an all natural energy bar with "MicroLactin" for joint health.
I can't remember what the core strength bar was for cause I ate them all!
I will comment that none of these bars made my stomach hurt, which I have found with other bars on the market.
Would I continue to use this bars? Personally with a few minor changes to the flavor and freshness of the bars. YES.
Anyhoo, I hope that some of you out there have the opportunity to try these bars.
