Of course you want the happiest marriage possible, but little things you do—some of which you don't notice—may be damaging your relationship. In fact, you may intentionally opt for these actions because you believe they're helpful, even though the opposite is true. Steer clear of the following mistakes to keep your marriage on the right track.
Men want to be strong, not vulnerable, and many feel they can't admit to having additional needs. If he senses you're too busy for, or not open to, hearing his desires, he'll stay mum—and miserable. "Ask him what he's thinking and wanting," advises clinical psychologist Andra Brosh, PhD. "Don't wait for him to bring it up because he probably won't."

Heat exhaustion occurs when the body is unable to cool itself off. An individual who is experiencing heat exhaustion will exhibit an increased body temperature, faintness, rapid heartbeat; an ashen or grayish appearance; cold, clammy skin and nausea. You can do any or all of the following to help the person experiencing heat exhaustion, but most of all, seek medical help as quickly as possible.
If you are allergic to certain insect bites or stings, be sure to bring along whatever medicine you require. Talk to your doctor about allergic reactions that you have experienced. Your doctor can prescribe medicine to help you with the discomfort.
For common stings and bites, relieve the discomfort by applying something cool, such as a wrapped cold pack, to affected area. This will also help reduce inflammation. Cold packs should be wrapped in a towel and placed directly on the affected area.
In the case of more severe stings and bites, it is also beneficial to keep an extractor kit handy to help you deal with the injury. The kit will contain an extractor pump to remove poisons or stingers, as well as other materials to help relieve discomfort. For effectiveness, the Extractor Kit must be used relatively quickly. Follow the directions indicated on the kit.
If you are not feeling well after an insect sting or bite, call for medical help as soon as possible.

Exactly as the title of thread says.
Had it happen twice now, first on an npc then now in folrart arena I'm upset cuz i got cheated out of a good battle replay.
What it does is that when you press save replay then it will just take you to my page with your character magically changing to a lvl 1 iczer with its name named as Iczer. And then if you try to press anything else, you will get You are disconnected. Message.
I'm going to take a long break from alteil if this bug persists because I like saving my battle replays for later viewing.

Zaward Square ZCJ002 review
Heatpipes are everything for this colossus. The heatsink fitted to the CPU is barely any larger than the kind you'd see on GPU RAM. It works, though, with most of the heat being dragged up to a larger block hovering above with a 120mm fan bolted to its top

Sasquatch! Music Festival Launch Party Feb 8, 2010 10:05:16 GMT -8
Post by weaseltractor on Feb 8, 2010 10:05:16 GMT -8
This has already been mentioned in the rumors thread, but I thought I would start another specifically for the launch party to see if anyone is going/would be interested in carpooling/etc.
This is the post from the official Sasquatch site:
This is the post from the official Sasquatch site:
Live Nation and Adam Zacks are pleased to announce The 2010 Sasquatch! Music Festival Launch Party presented by Esurance and sponsored by Jack Daniel's happening on Monday, February 15, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at the Crocodile.
For the first time in the festival's history the lineup will be announced LIVE at this very special event featuring performances by Surfer Blood, Atlas Sound and Fresh Espresso and hosted by Luke Burbank. Prize packages from Esurance and Xbox will be given away all night long, along with limited-edition festival posters and more.
Free tickets are available courtesy of Esurance by stopping by either Easy Street Records locations starting Friday, February 12th at 9:00 a.m. (limit 2 per person), or by listening to 107.7 The End all week to win!
Surfer Blood calls West Palm Beach home and, while still in their early 20s, have penned an album of summery indie songs that even the most hook-laden power pop band would rightfully be jealous of. Called "irresistibly catchy" by Pitchfork, Surfer Blood's critically acclaimed debut album, Astro Coast, was released on January 19.
Atlas Sound is the solo moniker of Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox, so named since 1994, when a sixth-grade Bradford made recordings on a karaoke cassette machine. Now signed to 4AD, Atlas Sound is those ideas that he "can't make work with a five piece rock band," employing stream-of-consciousness writing alongside ambient electronics.
Fresh Espresso, named by local blog SoundOnTheSound as representatives of "the next wave of Seattle hip-hop," is producer/composer P Smoov (of Mad Rad) and MC Rik Rude.
Carpool to the Launch party for a chance to win 4 VIP tix and a premiere camping pass to Sasquatch courtesy of Esurance. Find out more at www.esurance.com/music

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - February has never been a promising month
for Tubby Smith at Minnesota.
But with March quickly approaching, the senior-laden Gophers picked up their
biggest win of the season.
Trevor Mbakwe had 21 points and 13 rebounds as the Gophers tallied their first
win over a No. 1 team since 1989, in a 77-73 triumph over Indiana.
Minnesota (19-9, 7-8 Big Ten) began the year 15-1, but entered play Tuesday
losers in eight of its past 11, including a 2-4 mark in the month. The Gophers
improved to 16-28 in February under Smith, who's in his sixth year with the
Minnesota relentlessly attacked the glass, holding a 38-25 edge on the boards
while snatching 17 of those on the offensive end.
Andre Hollins added 16 points in the victory.
Jordan Hulls knocked down five 3-pointers and finished with 17 points to lead
the Hoosiers (24-4, 12-3), who had their four-game winning streak snapped.

The NOOSE (National Office Of Security Enforcement) is a Government Law Enforcement Agency in the HD Universe. It's separated into two divisions which are:
- NOOSE L.C. Patriotism And Immigration Authority
- NOOSE Tactical Response Unit
NOOSE is based on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT).
The NOOSE is called upon to assist the Police when the player has a Wanted Level of at least 3 stars. The NOOSE Patriotism And Immigration Authority Officers are the same as the LCPD in behaviour, weapons, appearance and mannerisms. The NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers, however, appear as Tactical Squad Units with heavy equipment and weaponry.
The NOOSE's vehicle fleet consists of modified Police Cruisers, modified Patriots, Enforcers, Annihilators and Armored Personnel Carriers. The NOOSE Cruisers and Patriots are exclusively driven by Patriotism And Immigration Authority Officers while the NOOSE Enforcers and the NOOSE APCs are used solely by the Tactical Response Unit Officers. The Annihilator may appear with occupants from either division, depending on who is pursuing the player on the ground.
In Multiplayer, the NOOSE is the main rival force during Hangman's NOOSE, in which players must escort Kenny Petrovic from the Francis International Airport to Charge Island.
Grand Theft Auto IV
* = TBoGT only. | ** = Mission "Corner Kids" only.
Grand Theft Auto V
Basic Behavior
- After the suspect is killed or arrested, the NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers will remain in the combat area for at least 5 minutes. This is the same as in reality, as SWAT Officers and other Law Enforcements are trained to remain at crime scenes in case there is another potentially dangerous suspect.
- The NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers are well protected with Body Armors and don't lose health very quickly. Even if they wear helmets, a single headshot will instantly kill them like all pedestrians. It is the same thing with the FIB Agents, but unlike the NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers, they don't wear helmets.
- The NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers always use good cover (behind cars, behind walls, etc.)
- The NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers always move together as a unit and pursue the player more aggressively than LCPD Officers on foot.
- The NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers are always in a crouched position making it harder to get a headshot.
- Like the FIB Agents, the NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers will disappear off camera when the player has no Wanted Level.
- NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers will also hide in unseen places to capture the suspect when he/she is off guard.
- All the types of Police Forces will do anything to kill/arrest the suspect and will keep shooting after to make sure the suspect is down (you will find that when you have a two-star Wanted Level onwards, the Police will kill the player and they will not arrest him except if he is in a vehicle).
- The NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers are programmed to remain in crouched position. It can be proven by spawning a NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officer using a Third Party Trainer. However, the NOOSE Helicopter Pilots can walk freely without crouching.
- When firing their weapons, the NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers always scream or show anger until they stop firing.
Grand Theft Auto V
- When dealing with the NOOSE Tactical Response Officers, an easy way is to use the Pump Action ShotGun. It quickly kills them, but be sure to use it close range and in tight spaces, so they can't use their M4s.
- A bit more complicated method is to get on a tall building, making sure to choose one with no doors that can be opened, because the NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers can come in when you least expect it, in groups of 4 as well. You can use a Sniper Rifle to deal with the NOOSE/Cops on the ground before hopping off the building and getting an escape vehicle.
- In Multiplayer, when you're being chased by the NOOSE and do not want to be, you can go to the LCPD Station in East Holland, fetch a NOOSE APC, clear the blockades on the island, then get a helicopter, and fly away from the island in order to escape the Wanted Levels.
- A noose is a type of self-tightening knot, most commonly known for the Hangman's knot used in public hangings. A reference to the Hangman's knot is depicted on the eagle's shield within the NOOSE seal, also, another is the Multiplayer Mode "Hangman's NOOSE".
- The NOOSE seal is a combination of the seals of the U.S Department Of Homeland Security and the National Security Agency. The primary design (the color scheme, the border and the eagle) is based on the Department of Homeland Security seal while the shield and key the eagle is holding is similar to the National Security Agency's seal.
- The player may notice that the insignia of NOOSE on the NOOSE Cruiser and NOOSE Patriot is labeled LC Noose. After the capital "N", the following letters are all lowercase and the second "o" is smaller than a regular lowercase letter. It may be a reference to GTA III's FBI Car because it is poorly written as "Fbi Car".
- Although the NOOSE APC in TBOGT bears the NOOSE Tactical Response Unit labeling, it is never actually used by the NOOSE Tactical Response Unit. However, two NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers are seen in a NOOSE APC in the mission Frosting on the Cake.
- After completing the main storyline, the player may call Henrique for a NOOSE APC. In Multiplayer, the player can find the NOOSE APC along with a Police Maverick and a Police Stinger (fastest land vehicle in The Ballad Of Gay Tony) in a LCPD Station's garage in Algonquin.
- If the player throws a grenade under or near a NOOSE Enforcer it will not even try to move away from that area, which the normal Police Cars would do.
- The NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers will always crouch, the way they crouch is if you are crouching while tapping or holding the sprint button.
- In GTA Chinatown Wars, the player's Body Armor will replenish when entering a NOOSE Enforcer. However, if the player doesn't have a Body Armor, he will have one by entering a NOOSE Enforcer.
- The NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers are always clothed with black uniforms; the Body Armor, the balaclava, the gloves (some of them wear black balaclavas, if they wear black balaclavas, they will always have black gloves), the combat jacket the combat trousers and the Gas Mask (some of them also wear Gas Masks) are black.
- A NOOSE poster can be seen around Liberty City, it shows a Hispanic pedestrian with a Glock 17 sticked in his pants. The Hispanic pedestrian is also wearing a shirt bearing the NOOSE logo. Ironically, the pedestrian seen on the NOOSE poster has the same face than the Hispanic NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers.

Frisco, TX (Sports Network) - For the second successive match, Chivas USA
managed to claim a positive result as it held on to get a point from a 0-0 at
FC Dallas on Thursday.
The Goats ended a seven-match losing streak last time out thanks to a 1-1 draw
with the New England Revolution, and they built upon that result by earning a
hard-fought point at FC Dallas Stadium for a Fourth of July treat.
The draw gives Chivas its fifth road point of the season as the club improves
to 13 points overall.
It is the third successive draw for FC Dallas, lifting the club into sole
possession of second place in the Western Conference on 31 points. Schellas
Hyndman's side trails first-place Real Salt Lake by three points but still
holds a game in hand.

Spring 2010 saw the completion of a rain garden adjacent to the Public Works' visitor parking lot at 147 Hampshire Street.
A rain garden is a man-made planted depression designed to contain, filter and soak up stormwater runoff from rooftops, driveways, walkways or basement sump pumps and allows the water to soak back into the ground. Rain gardens capture stormwater before it runs off of hard surfaces and collects harmful substances such as road salt, pet waste, heavy metals, fertilizers and oils before draining to catch basins where it may find its way to local rivers like the Charles River and Alewife Brook.
A rain garden intercepts the initial runoff called the "first flush." The first flush contains the greatest concentration of pollutants. Capturing, treating and slowing down stormwater runoff through a natural process instead of conveying it directly to the stormwater drain can prevent localized flooding, improve water quality and protect and conserve aquatic ecosystems.
Please visit the Stormwater Management section of our website for more stormwater management resources.

This week on Wednesday, doctors finally honoured their pledge of striking, after the President refused to implement their demand of sacking the Minister for Health, Dr Haji Mponda and his deputy, Dr Lucy Nkya.
Last Saturday, the doctors issued a 72-hour ultimatum to President Kikwete urging him to fire the minister and his deputy. According to the doctors, the minister and his deputy have been a stumbling block against the implementation of their demands, which among other things include better pay and appropriate working conditions.
Early last month the doctors issued similar condition requiring the government to fire the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Health, Madam Blandina Nyoni and the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Deo Mtasiwa.
The government, which was cornered by the striking doctors, finally bowed and suspended the two senior officials at the ministry, a move that temporarily, if dramatically, ended the strike.
We fully understand the poor working conditions of doctors and nurses but it is not just the doctors who work in poor conditions or are poorly paid in this country. Teachers work in very tough conditions, and so do police officers, and other categories of civil servants.
We fully understand the importance of the medical profession in everyday life and we are equally concerned by the worsening situation in the health sector.
What we don't understand is demanding better pay at the expense of the very poor Tanzanians whose taxes were used to educate our striking doctors. The strike should have been the last option after all means to address each of their demands have failed.
The strike hurts mainly those poor Tanzanians who can't afford to pay expensive medical bills at private hospitals. It kills those who can't afford to fly to India, South Africa or Germany for an in-depth medical examination.
In this case, the government was willing to negotiate with doctors through their representatives and promised to seal a deal at the end of the discussion. Surprisingly, while the negatiations were still going on, the doctors came up with a fresh condition, demanding that the minister and his deputy should be sacked.
In issuing this ultimatum to the President of the United Republic, the doctors lacked wisdom because they have no jurisdiction or power to order the head of state. Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge. Everybody has knowledge, but to apply that skill you need wisdom.
There's no credible evidence that the minister and his deputy are the cause of the current doctors' woes. The two were appointed to head the ministry in the end of 2010 after the general election.
The ministry spends according to what has been allocated to it through the Treasury during the annual budget. With the current economic environment where the budget performance is bad due to a number of factors, what the Ministry of Health receives is not what it sought.
This was the case for the Ministry of Energy and Minerals early last year, when it was given below what it required at the time when the country was plunged into total darkness due to lack of power generation ability.
Doctors' problems have been there at least since 1992, and there have been a number of strikes, but unfortunately, these strikes have never yielded positive results. Since the doctors formed a team to negotiate with the government, we at The Guardian on Sunday strongly believe this is the best option to reach an acceptable arrangement.
In return the government should also honour and nurture its promise in ensuring that doctors get what they deserve according to available resources. There's no development in a country where the health sector is crippled mainly because of meager budget allocated to the sector.

Cardiologo Roma, best cardiologist in Rome? Look no further!
Looking For a Cardiologist in Rome or as they would say in Italy Cardiologo a Roma?
Most patients meet a cardiologist (cardiologo in Italian) for the first time using information that they get from general practitioner, friends, or relatives.
If this cardiologist happens to be bad or not very good, the thought of switching to another doctor in cardiologia branch can be difficult to bear. It is not bad to ask for guidance when looking for a cardiologist in Rome especially if you have not insurance. However, doing your own research will help you get an even better doctor. Dr. Roberta Manganelli is renowned in this city for his skill and experience in handling all manners of cardiovascular issues.
The credentials of a cardiologist do not lie. A cardiologist gets extra certifications to add to the standard credentials. This enables the doctor to deal with a myriad of conditions that present in patients. Most hospitals in Rome have a directory, which list the qualifications of the doctors. If you are looking for a private practitioner, you are likely to get him or her entering the query "Cardiologo Roma" in the WebMD Physician Directory.
The cardiologist may not be in the directories, but you can rely on yet another credential. Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC) is home to details of heart specialists. Being listed here is based on a cardiologist's contribution and achievement.
The location of a doctor is a critical factor, especially for conditions that can strike at any time. The excellence of cardiac care may be the best benchmark for a cardiologist. However, it is better to look at nearness to your premises when looking for a more fitting cardiologist in Rome.
Finally, you have to check if the cardiologist is experienced. When you visit a hospital in Rome, do not shy away from asking how many times the cardiologist has dealt with conditions similar to yours. Studies have shown that the more the times a doctor has conducted a procedure, the less the complications thereafter, and vice versa.
Visit Dr. Roberta Manganelli at www.robertamanganelli.com, who is a certified and highly experienced cardiologist in Rome, for all your cardiovascular concerns.

He then gives the player a Super Rod. He tells you to look around the Unova region to find the Sage members of Team Plasma, since some of them escaped.
X and YEdit
Looker returns once again in X and Y. After defeating the Elite Four and Diantha, the Pokemon Champion of Kalos, you will receive a holo caster call from Looker who has not yet revealed himself to you and will tell you to meet in his Headquarters near Rouge Plaza in Lumiose City. This starts the beginning of the Post-game story which ends in Looker capturing the mastermind behind Team Flare and him leaving the region.
Omega Ruby and Alpha SapphireEdit
Looker once again returns in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. After getting access to the Battle Resort, if you go east and a little north from the bridge you entered the resort in, you will encounter Looker who is washed ashore, asking the player where he is, giving the choice of saying "Hoenn region" or "Battle Resort". Then a woman (with the Beauty trainer class model) comes by asking what happened. She said she has no other choice than to bring him to the cottage. When you go to the northeastern cottage in the place where the Dragon Tamer says about changing his Druddigon's ability, you will find Looker. When talking to the lady, she says he has a bad case of amnesia. When you talk to Looker he says what he can only remember, when he was washed ashore and meeting the player. As a thank you for saving him, he gives you an Audinite, the Mega Stone for Audino, where he then asks to himself who he is.

Diamond and Pearl Adventure!Edit
- Main article: Looker (DPA)
Looker has been searching Kaisei, Hareta's father, for a long time. He also sent Koya to infiltrate the Champion's League to get closer to Hareta.
- Main article: Looker (anime)
Looker makes his debut in Frozen in their Tracks, where he is inspecting Team Galactic when they're trying to steal something important to Sinnoh. He teams up with Ash, Brock, and Dawn to try to stop them.
He was about to appear in episodes Team Rocket vs. Team Plasma (Part 1) and Team Rocket vs. Team Plasma (Part 2), but these were cancelled by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
He makes a major appearance in Pokémon: BW Adventures in Unova, where he's investigating Team Plasma. He asks Jessie, James, and Meowth for help during the crisis, not bothering to have them arrested later out of gratitude for the assistance.
- Looker shares his English voice actor, Jason Griffith, with Brawly, Sir Aaron, and Cilan.
- In the manga, as an Interpol agent, he has gadgets he can use like the jet.
- He has a good heart, caring for those who cannot take care of themselves, and values the friends he makes.
- In Generation I games there is a man on the S.S. Anne claiming to be a Global Police Agent on the trail of Team Rocket.
- He bears a striking resemblance to David Tennant's incarnation of the Doctor on Doctor Who.

[Adobe® Training Services - For Omniture® technology] Hi everybody. This is Doug, and today we're going to talk about what is Omniture® Genesis. Well, in a nutshell, Omniture® Genesis is a platform that integrates complementary third-party online marketing technologies with Omniture®. Now, it's a part of the Omniture® Online Marketing Suite, and I've got it right here in the Acquisition section, but that's really only partially true because Omniture® Genesis does integrate lots of different kinds of partner data into SiteCatalyst and into Omniture® products, so it really probably belongs in all of these sections because of its ability to integrate all different kinds of data. So we'll pretend like maybe it's in each of those. Genesis gives online marketers the ability to view and optimize campaign and conversion performance across multiple applications. Enabled by the industry's largest ecosystem of application providers, Genesis automates information sharing to support online marketing best practices, for cross-channel reporting, dynamic visitor segmentation, and performance optimization. So you can see here that there is ad serving and on-site search and optimization partners and email partners and all kinds of partner data, which is then integrated into Omniture® through Genesis. Genesis has a plug-and-play interface that allows us to just drag a little puzzle piece over, and it will launch a user interface that will help us really do this integration. Now, let me tell you real quick the story here of not using Genesis because there are some things that, yes, they are possible with SiteCatalyst, without having Genesis, but the power of Genesis really becomes apparent. So let me give you an example here of email re-marketing. And this is the manual approach for integrating and targeting different segments through email. So if we were to do this without Genesis, the first thing we'd have to do is place tracking codes on all of the emails that we have going out. And we'd get those tracking codes to the email vendor. So then we'd have to get the email vendor data back from them, sends, and opens, and different things like that per email. Then we'd be able to match up, of course, with these tracking codes. Then we'd have to take that email vendor data, and we'd have to import it into SiteCatalyst, using Data Sources, which is a data import tool for SiteCatalyst, to bring that information into SiteCatalyst and match it up with the visits that people will have there on your site and what they do. Then we'd have to take that information and create some Data Warehouse reports that would come out of SiteCatalyst, based on what they did. So did they look at this product and not buy it, etcetera, so that we can re-market to them? Then we'd have to take that Data Warehouse information and send this re-marketing information back to the vendor and say, based on what we were able to define in our product and export out of Data Warehouse, we'd like you to re-market to these people for these products, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So you can see this is actually quite intense to do it without Genesis, but what Genesis allows us to do is to actually then take one of these partners in the Genesis network here and drag that over onto the SiteCatalyst Genesis puzzle here, I guess, if you will. And that will actually then launch a user interface, which you can go through and then put in your user name and the data to have this information sent back and forth. Now, there's an accredited partner network with several partners, many, many partners, that have already worked with us for this network and for this integration. And so you can also go through and read white papers and see the company website. In case you don't have a relationship with these partners, but you think it sounds good, and you want to find out more about them, then you can also find out more through our resources tab there, as well. Once it's all integrated, you'll be able to have online marketing performance dashboards, so that you can really see not only the success of bringing people into your site through these different partners, but how they help you maximize a conversion on your site. As mentioned, there is this bi-directional information exchange between the accredited partner and Omniture® SiteCatalyst, so that we don't have to manually take the information and send it over there and then manually export it and bring it back over here and run back and forth, but that this information transfers and flows both directions to be able to have this really be automated. Again, I mentioned that it is wizard-based, so when you actually drag the little puzzle piece over there, then you can walk through these different screens and put in your user name and decide which kind of information comes back into SiteCatalyst, etcetera. So there is some setup there, but here is what it's not. It's not a whole bunch of coding and back-end things. This is stuff that once your relationship is set up with a partner, then a marketing person can easily walk through this wizard and set up this information exchange between SiteCatalyst and the partner. So, very, very powerful. As an example of what you can get out of it then, you can see that you can have integrated data here between a partner--in this case, an email partner, as an example-- and Omniture® data, all in the same report. In fact, you could also take some of the numbers from each one, whether it be impressions and revenue and different things like that, and use these numbers together to create calculated metrics that use both of those. So this is a very, very powerful tool that allows us to, again, integrate all kinds of different third-party data into SiteCatalyst and Omniture® data, so that you can have a better view and a more automated approach to your marketing.

We get close and then realize there's a line. The line didn't seem that long from our angle until we got closer. The perceived tolerable line grew to an everlasting trail of purple and gold that kept going and going as we walked along side of it. We finally saw it's tail at the front-side of the Staples Center. My mind started to doubt our efforts but I kept calm. You learn to keep calm with an 8 year old who has the words, "Are We There Yet?", in his vocabulary. After being in line for 45 minutes, we reached stairs that led to the entrance of the Convention Center and excitement filled our veins, until we saw this...
...another line that wrapped around the other end of the Convention Center. My heart dropped and my feet began to drag. The hour and a half line was a result of a poorly executed anticipation of fans. At this point I realized I have been robbed. Tickets were cheap, yes, but I would have stayed home if I'd known that the entrance line would take longer than my O.C. to L.A. travel.
Once inside we are greeted with a sea of Lakers fans. Not such an awesome sight this time around. My son at this point was very thirsty so I search for drinks. I find a canopy that sells lemonade and start to walk towards it. As we walk through the endless stretch of people we observe the festivities. It was very cool to see all the different interactive Lakers stations. One that I liked the most was where fans can take pictures with the Larry O'Brien trophies!
Do you see the trophies in the photo? No? Maybe it's because the entrance line had given birth inside. The line to get the photo op with Mr. Larry O'Brien x 4 was at least an hour long from my observation.
I accept the fact that I will not get my chance to meet Mr. Larry O'Brien so I move closer and steal a shot from the side angle before security steps in as you will see in this picture. The trophies look stunning from that close. I could only imagine (or I could have walked into another very long line) how they look up close!
We walk past the dunk contest area of lowered hoops, the Laker Girls signature booths, shooting stations and a loud roar of LUUUUUUUKE! I look towards the noise to see a distant Luke Walton making his scheduled appearance. His line gave me a chuckle because I wasn't EVEN going to fathom the thought of putting forth any effort to participate in another hour and a half long line. All the lines for that matter would've taken the whole day. We pass by the children's jumpers where I was almost tempted to join in as the lines looked refreshingly short. We get to the lemonade canopy and my feet completely stop at a screeching halt when we came around a corner to only witness, yes, another very long line. My son gulps for the far away lemonade stand depriving him of his thirst quench. This was the final straw for me. I look to the nearest exit and walk past the "Exit Only, No Re-Entry" signs to take in a breath of fresh air and call it a loss.
As a Lakers fan I 100% appreciate the thought that went into planning such an event however the execution needed major improvements. As with every other debut of anything, the next edition (next years Lakers Fan Jam) will hopefully present itself with shorter lines and a little better organization to in turn better the experience for the fans.
So, to better my personal experience I decided to erase what just had happened and take a trip to L.A's finest tacos just down the freeway. We were King Taco bound. Yummy!

Hey curvy girls all over the world,
The snakeskin print is a major trend this season. It seems like leopard has taken a backseat to the print. I was definitely intrigued by snakeskin this season and found myself purchasing two items with the print. One is a Michael Kors snakeskin print skirt and the other is this H&M dress.
Are you guys into snakeskin prints?

The Glendale is a four-door sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Designed as a 1950s/1960s sedan, the Glendale appears to be the result of joining two halves of two different real-life cars; the front resembles a 1955 Buick Special, with the headlights and roof from a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, while the back and sides resemble a 1961 Dodge Polara. It is not known While commonly featuring a two tone paint scheme (the roof being white), a Glendale in GTA San Andreas has a color variation that is totally red though. The roof color can also be modified in GTA San Andreas via Transfender. It is most likely manufactured by Declasse or Bravado.
Along with the Broadway, Hustler, Tornado, and the Voodoo, the Glendale in GTA San Andreas doesn't appear to have fuel caps but will explode if shot on the back license plate, perhaps indicating that the car's fuel cap is behind the license plate like some cars in real-life.
In terms of performance, the car is only average, with an average top speed, mediocre acceleration, moderate endurance and average cornering. The vehicle's power-to-weight ratio may be a contributing factor to its below-average acceleration, as the car is heavy but posses a weak engine, and as a result, is also a poor hill climber.
Prominent uses
The Glendale is a common gang car, predominantly in GTA San Andreas (the Varrios Los Aztecas); where it spawns commonly and its occupants take part in a drive-by shooting. In addition, Big Smoke drives a Glendale with a blue body and a white roof, which plays a small role in several missions (mostly as transportation from his home to the mission location).
"Beater" Glendale
The "Beater" Glendale (internally named the "GLENSHIT") is a GTA San Andreas variation of the Glendale in which the car is damaged, cannot be fixed (you can fix the tires if you shoot them out), and cannot be modified. The "beater" variant has also different wheels and slightly different interior compared to normal Glendale. They have been seen spawning in several places in San Andreas, especially between the two horseshoe shaped rocks in Back o' Beyond.
Bloodring Banger
The Bloodring Banger featured in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas adapts the Glendale into a demolition derby car outfitted with various modifications for such competitions. While the Glendale is one of two models the Bloodring Banger is based on in GTA Vice City (alongside the Oceanic), only the Glendale-based Bloodring Banger remains in GTA San Andreas.
Car modification (GTA San Andreas)
- Color (two areas)
- Wheels (ten types)
- Nitro (All)
- Bass Boost
- Hydraulics
- The Glendale plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Radio Los Santos in the standard Glendale in GTA San Andreas.
- Playback FM in the beater Glendale in GTA San Andreas.
- The Glendale could have a link to the city of Glendale, Arizona.
- The Beater Glendale is nicknamed the Ghost Car, due to the spawn point of several Glendales on the slope of a hill in Back o Beyond. The Beaters roll down the hill as soon as the player gets within spawning distance of them, making it appear as if they were driving by themselves.
- The Glendale bears a striking resemblance to the car (a 1959-1968 Ford Anglia 105E) driven by Harry and Ron in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, especially when made to fly using the cheat. Additionally, the Beater variant resembles the car later in the series after it spends some time in the Forbidden Forest.
GTA Vice City
- Often seen driving around in Downtown
GTA San Andreas
- Standard Glendale
- Often seen driving around in Ganton,
- In El Corona, as it is a Varrio Los Aztecas' territory.
- Inside the farm west of Blueberry Acres
- Either parked at the parking lot at Santa Maria Beach, or driving around the area.
- Beater Glendale
- Many located around the horseshoe area in Back o' Beyond
- Two are located in a trailer park across the road from Lil' Probe'Inn
- Behind the gas station in Valle Ocultado, northwest of Cock Rock
- Inside the Angel Pine Junkyard
- One located at The Panopticon.
- One in Flint County outside of Back o' Beyond.
GTA Vice City Stories
- In front of the Le Singe d'Arbre (the future Café Under the Tree), Little Haiti
- Parking lot to the east of the funfair, Vice Point
- To the west of Pay 'n' Spray at the white building with a blue glass front, Ocean Beach
- Appears in a Vigilante mission.

31 U.S. Code § 3343 - Check forgery insurance fund
prev | next
(a) The Department of the Treasury has a special deposit revolving fund, the "Check Forgery Insurance Fund". Necessary amounts are hereafter appropriated to the Fund out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and shall remain available until expended to make the payments required or authorized under this section. The Fund consists of amounts—
(b) The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay from the Fund to a payee or special endorsee of a check drawn on the Treasury or a depositary designated by the Secretary the amount of the check without interest if in the determination of the Secretary the payee or special endorse [1] establishes that—
(1) the check was lost or stolen without the fault of the payee or a holder that is a special endorsee and whose endorsement is necessary for further negotiation;
(2) the check was negotiated later and paid by the Secretary or a depositary on a forged endorsement of the payee's or special endorsee's name; and
(c) Notwithstanding section 1306 of this title, a check drawn on a designated depositary may be paid in the currency of a foreign country when the appropriate accountable official authorizes payment in that currency.
(d) The Secretary shall deposit immediately to the credit of the Fund an amount recovered from a forger or a transferee or party on the check. The Secretary may use amounts in the Fund to reimburse payment certifying or authorizing agencies for any payment that the Secretary determines would otherwise have been payable from the Fund, and may reimburse certifying or authorizing agencies with amounts recovered because of payee nonentitlement. However, currency of a foreign country recovered because of a forged check drawn on a designated depositary shall be credited to the Fund or to the foreign currency fund that was charged when payment was made under subsection (b) of this section to the payee or special endorsee.
(e) The Secretary may waive any provision of this section as may be necessary to ensure that claimants receive timely payments.
(f) Under such conditions as the Secretary may prescribe, the Secretary may delegate duties and powers of the Secretary under this section to the head of an agency. Consistent with a delegation from the Secretary under this subsection, the head of an agency may redelegate those duties and powers to officers or employees of the agency.
(g) This section does not relieve—

Basic vampire abilities
- "You're all fools. The Volturi might be gone, but they will never forgive what happened here."
- ―Stefan on the Volturi[src]
Stefan is a founding member of the Romanian coven, as well as one of the only two survivors from the coven's destruction.
Early life
Stefan and his fellow Romanian vampire Vladimir once ruled the vampire world thousands of years ago with their coven, along with ten other Romanian vampires, one of which Stefan's mate. The Romanians were formed in a way similar to the Volturi: a group of ambitious vampires calling a truce to the usual squabbling between small covens and then joining forces for the purpose of gaining power. This prevailing desire to rule allowed them to overcome their competitive drives and cooperate. Not even bothering to keep the secret, they let the Romanian people in their city know that they were vampires, instead of acting under the pretense of being Christian saints (referring to St. Marcus Day in Volterra).
The eventual downfall of the Romanians was their focus on brute strength. They created a guard-like entity - a pattern later copied by the Volturi - composed entirely of vampires like Felix and Emmett. Perhaps because none of the ruling members of the coven possessed supernatural abilities themselves, they underestimated the advantage such abilities could give them in battle. They ignored talented vampires in favor of strength. This blind spot was understandable, as no one had ever used talents the way the Volturi eventually did. Talents have also grown stronger over the centuries; the talents exhibited by vampires during the Romanian rule were not as potent as the talents that developed in modern times. Much of that is due to vampires learning to seek out talented humans to transform, and also understanding how to focus and improve their talents after the transformation. Aro's innovative focus on talent over strength was the reason the Volturi were able to defeat the Romanians, though it took them more than a century, and they never wiped them out completely.
Their castles were burned and their coven destroyed when the Volturi finally overthrew them. Stefan lost his mate in the third decade of the initial battle, which ensured his permanent drive for vengeance.
When the Volturi defeated the Romanians, most of their coven was destroyed, leaving only Stefan, Vladimir and his mate as survivors. The Volturi copied many aspects of the Romanians' way of life - the formation of a permanent guard, the stationary home, and the eschewing of hunting in favor of prey being rounded up and delivered to them. The difference was that they did all of these things while remaining hidden to humans' eyes.
Stefan, Vladimir and Vladimir's mate made many attempts during the centuries to regroup, repopulate, and topple the Volturi. The Romanians amassed an army of more than a hundred new recruits and were confident that the Volturi would fall. This ill-fated assault occurred a decade after the Volturi had acquired Jane and Alec. It was the first time Aro displayed their powers in battle. Stefan and Vladimir were planning to spring a trap for the expected Volturi retreat, and so escaped slaughter when their recruits failed. After this, they made no further attempt to create more vampires for their coven, and decided to disappear until the Volturi weakened or another power presented itself.
They are particularly bitter toward Jane and Alec, because even though they were not involved in the initial fight, they had provided much more power to the Volturi, to the point of invincibility.
Every few decades, the Volturi would send Demetri and others after the remaining Romanians, so Stefan and Vladimir are constantly on the move and always on their guard. If the Volturi focused their efforts, they would be able to wipe out the survivors, but since these two pose little threat, the Volturi have never committed their assets to a drawn-out chase.
Breaking Dawn
- Main article: Breaking Dawn
- "We have waited a long time for the Italian scum to be challenged."
- ―Stefan on the Volturi.[src]
Stefan and Vladimir show up uninvited to the Cullen household in Breaking Dawn hoping that the controversy caused by Renesmee will finally present them with the opportunity to destroy the Volturi. However, their hopes don't falter throughout the book. In the big climax with the Volturi, the "royal vampire family" is entirely astonished to see their bitter enemies on Carlisle's side, and immediately want to take action. Aro, however, with his eternal enthusiasm, seeks the truth from Carlisle, and Stefan's and Vladimir's hope of having a battle with the Volturi is vanquished. They were happy, however, to see the Volturi run away like cowards after the confrontation.
During the month that the Romanian coven "witnesses" Renesmee, Bella has a certain aversion to having Renesmee being around the Romanians, for fear that they, too, are just like the Volturi, with their pasty-white skin and red eyes. However, Bella notices that Stefan's and Vladimir's eyes are not filmed over as the Volturi's, but she does not inquire about it, fearing that it would be rude. It is Renesmee who eventually asks, and the vampires reply that once their castle was burned they had to move, as opposed to the Volturi elders who sit still decade after decade.
Renesmee is said to have enjoyed the Romanians' company. Bella limits her time with them after they describe how they would like to rip out the eyes of the Volturi. They only seek revenge towards the Volturi, and will do anything to harm them.
Physical appearance
He is described as being a slight and short man, dressed in simple black clothing that barely fit in with the modern times, being 5'3" tall and with eyes that are dark burgundy in color; and along with Vladimir, he too possesses the same powdery skin as the Volturi ancients, although it is said to be not as pronounced in their case. His hair is dark brown.
He speaks in a smooth tandem, with a voice so similar to Vladimir's that anyone with ears less sensitive than a vampire's would assume they were one speaker.
Stefan is noted as cunning, ambitious. He is vengeful regarding the Volturi. Though he has a survival instinct, he seems to get it under control when driven by vengeance. He and Vladimir have a tendency of finishing each other's sentences.
Powers and abilities
Stefan never demonstrated his vampiric abilities in the novels. However, in the movie adaptations, he and his covenmate, Vladimir, display amazing physical reflexes and battle skills despite the lack of special powers. They manage to avoid Jacob's attacks and confuse the wolves by jumping around trees in circles until they ran into each other.
Vladimir is a founding member of the Romanian Coven, like Stefan. He became Stefan's only company after the destruction of their coven. They have kept each other company since they both lost their mates to the Volturi's offensive forces and have traveled together since. Their voices are heard to be so similar to weaker ears can easily mistake them to be one person.
Like Stefan, Vladimir is always awaiting the opportunity to oppose the Volturi and destroy them once and for all.
Stefan had a mate during his time of reign. When the Volturi dethroned the Romanians, Stefan lost her, but he escaped with Vladimir and his. Since vampires don't overcome their grief, it is assumed that Stefan is still grieving and resenting after all the centuries.
Film portrayal
Summit Entertainment confirmed on October 13, 2010 that Guri Weinberg would play the role of Stefan in Breaking Dawn - Part 2.

TORONTO - The Blue Jays have had more trouble than most teams containing Chris Davis this season.
On Friday, baseball's home run leader pounded Toronto pitching once again.
Davis hit his major league-leading 50th home run, a tiebreaking solo shot in the eighth inning, and Baltimore erased a 3-0 deficit to beat the Blue Jays 5-3, snapping a three-game losing streak.
Davis has hit seven home runs off Blue Jays pitching this season and has 15 total homers against Toronto since the start of the 2012 season, the most by any opponent.
"He's having a great year," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "He's so strong he hits them anywhere. It's got nothing to do with the park here. Some guys will get some cheapies here. He doesn't get any cheapies."
Adam Lind hit a two-run home run and Colby Rasmus returned from the disabled list with a solo shot, but the Blue Jays lost their fourth straight.
Toronto slugger Edwin Encarnacion returned to the lineup at designated hitter after missing the past four games with a sore left wrist.
Davis became the 27th major leaguer to join the 50-homer club, and the first since Jose Bautista in 2010, when he led off the eighth with a blast to center off All-Star reliever Steve Delabar, connecting on a 2-2 pitch.
"I knew I barreled it up," Davis said. "I tried to go the other way there with two strikes. I've faced Steve a few times. You can't look for his split, as hard as he throws. I was just trying to put a good swing on it and stay through it."
Delabar (5-4) allowed two runs and three hits in one inning, losing his second straight appearance. The right-hander also lost to the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.
The drive matched Brady Anderson's 1996 Orioles record and made Davis just the third player in major league history with 50 homers and 40 doubles in the same season. The others were Babe Ruth (1921) and Albert Belle (1995).
"It's a humbling feeling to be in the same company with the guys I'm in," Davis said.
Adam Jones followed Davis' blast with an infield hit and, two outs later, moved up on Ryan Flaherty's walk before scoring on Danny Valencia's RBI single.
Tommy Hunter (5-4) worked 1 2-3 innings for the win and Jim Johnson finished for his 44th save in 53 chances, rebounding after his wild pitch helped the New York Yankees beat Baltimore 6-5 on Thursday.
The Orioles, who had lost four of their previous five, came in 2½ games behind Tampa Bay in the race for the second AL wild-card berth. They gained half a game on the New York Yankees, who lost 8-4 at Boston.
The Blue Jays opened the scoring in the fourth when Encarnacion drew a two-out walk and Lind drilled Jason Hammel's next pitch into the seats for his 20th home run.
Activated off the 15-day disabled list before the game after missing more than a month with a strained muscle in his left side, Rasmus made it 3-0 with a solo blast off Hammel to begin the fifth, his 19th.
"That's not easy to do without some live at-bats for quite a while," Gibbons said.
Toronto starter Todd Redmond left one out after Jones doubled to open the seventh. Dustin McGowan came on and gave up an RBI double to J.J. Hardy, then walked Flaherty.
Valencia popped out but Steve Clevenger tied it with a double that bounced over the head of right fielder Moises Sierra. Nate McLouth walked before Sergio Santos came on and struck out Manny Machado to end the inning.
Redmond allowed one run and three hits in a career-high 6 1-3 innings. He walked none and struck out seven.
"I felt real good today," Redmond said. "I was able to keep the ball down and keep the hitters off balance."
Gibbons said he felt bad for Redmond after his call to the bullpen "backfired."
"He threw a whale of a game we just didn't get any outs," Gibbons said of Redmond. "He's been a pleasant surprise for us. He's normally a five-inning guy but tonight he stretched it out, he was really good. He's put himself on the map."
Singles by Brett Lawrie and Rasmus gave the Blue Jays runners at the corners with one out in the seventh, bringing Hunter on in relief of T.J. McFarland. Hunter escaped by fanning Sierra and J.P. Arencibia.
Hammel started for the Orioles in place of Bud Norris, who was scratched Wednesday with a sore right elbow. He allowed three runs and three hits in five innings, walked one and struck out two.
