Nine remaining tenants in a foreclosed million-dollar San Jose home have been given until May 1 to move out, under an agreement that also gives them $1,500 each to cover rent deposits and moving expenses.
The agreement with Bank of America, which foreclosed on the foothills home last November, was filed in San Jose Superior Court Thursday.
The bank had no comment.
At one point, as many as 15 renters lived in the home, which its former owner continued to rent out after the foreclosure.
"The tenants did nothing wrong," said Deborah Thrope, a lawyer with the nonprofit Law Foundation of Silicon Valley.
"It's not your fault if you move into a house where the person hasn't paid their mortgage," she said. The Law Foundation represented the tenants in negotiations with the bank.
Neighbors in the upscale neighborhood complained of noise, and San Jose police said they had responded 16 times since September to resolve disputes and disturbances at the house.
The tenants said the former owner didn't tell them the home was foreclosed. They said they only learned that after moving in and discovering an eviction notice from the bank.
Thrope said the foundation frequently receives requests for help from tenants facing eviction due to a foreclosure.

The mixing of a common marijuana strain known as Grandaddy Purple with keef which is a powder that is pure THC also known as Jack Bauer, making one powerful combination. On the newest season of the hit fox show 24, season 6, Phillip Bauer is Jack Bauer's father. He is also a grandfather. Jack Bauer is already a slang term for keef.
I hope you're ready to smoke this Phillip Bauer bowl! It's going to be very potent!

Sen. Patty Murray
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) has taken her budget efforts online, as she moves into the chairwoman's seat on the Budget Committee.
The senator launched MyBudget on Jan. 28. It's the committee's new effort to engage the public in the federal budget process.
Her aim is to get the public sharing with her committee their ideas for budget objectives.
"The federal budget is where we lay out our values, our priorities, and our vision for what our government should look like now and in the future," she said. She wants to hear from "families across America" because developing the budget is "too often limited to politicians and bureaucrats."
Murray expects to expand MyBudget with new tools and resources in the coming months.

June 30, 2010 2:12 pm
Wow…what an emotional day. It brings back so many memories of our visit with YouYou's foster parent's. They also loved her deeply and I also told our guide that I felt like I was taking their child from them. It was so hard…and even now my stomach hurts when I think about it. I'm so thankful that Faith was loved so deeply. And one day soon she will return that love to you.
June 30, 2010 2:34 pm
O my goodness, how hard and how wonderful all at once. To have so much information about Xiu Xiu is just incredible, and to know her foster family.
I wish we had even a particle of that information about Luci.
These posts must've been so hard to write–they are hard to read. Crying here.
June 30, 2010 5:08 pm
Oh that is so wonderful to read. I really hope that we get to met Pei's foster family. I think that this will help with some much needed closer. How blessed our children are to know the love of a mama and a baba with their China families.
Hope Faith is doing well!
June 30, 2010 10:32 pm
I heard the commotion through the door of our hotel room and opened the door just in time to see the foster mom rush from the elevator with Faith in her arms, hand her off to someone ( memory lapse) then rush back to the elevator with her hand over her mouth so as not to let her grief be audible. It was tremendously painful to watch. I do not let myself think what it must have been like for You, or dh or her Mama, or Faith.
David came to our room later to decompress. The stress showed in his face and voice. In my eyes he earned his money for the week in 5 minutes out there by the elevators.
It's commendable that you will keep connections with the foster family. This will tell Faith volumes about your character. Just not yet.
shirlee permalinkJuly 1, 2010 12:06 pm
I'm so glad you met with them! It's a hard thing but a good one.
Cheeky still calls China Mom and Dad….Mama and Baba. It's as it should be. My husband and I are Mom and Dad or Mommy and Daddy.
Monica permalinkJuly 1, 2010 1:26 pm
Oh Carla…tears here, too. What an amazing opportunity for you and how precious to have all the information on Faith's past. You are truly blessed.
Jackie permalinkJuly 1, 2010 11:54 pm
As others said…wow, what memories your post bought back to me. The only difference is that for me it was a birthmom instead. I truly have not witnessed no greater love. So bittersweet! Almost 20 yrs later (can it really be!!) I still cry whenever I think about our visit(s).
July 5, 2010 1:21 am
Oh, I'm crying. I think Tonggu Momma put it best – adoption is making the best of a bad situation. If only, if only…but thank GOD she has known so much love in her two years. (And please know, I do not say that lightly.) Wishing nothing but the best for your family, and for your new little "muih muih".
July 7, 2010 9:28 am
Hi, I linked over here from the NHBO blog. We adopted a 2.5 year old son out of a loving foster home in Korea last November. Without a doubt the most difficult, gut wrenching thing I have ever done. Luckily for us, they have a daughter my age who speaks English. We have been able to maintain contact–she even visited us for 12 days this month. It has been very healing for everyone. These families are amazing. I just had to reach out to you because I have been in your shoes. It is good that you have those pictures and you can still talk about the family and how much they love her.

Im having some troubles with flags. I have two languages, German and Croatian and I cannot get croatian flag. When I put to Croatian language link to flag is broken. Flag is there in /flags, I have Croatian .mo and .po files and i set language to croatian. I get Us flag with no problem. I even tried to rename hr.png to us.png but only shows us flag. And I want to position them in header just above picture but little to the left and I don't know how! Or which tags do I need to use to put flags inline?
Thank you!

Premier League match reports:
- Everton 2-3 Crystal Palace : Arsenal delight as soaring Eagles keep them in top four
- Man City 2-2 Sunderland: Connor Wickham double dents Blues' title hopes
Hello, buenos dias and hola dear readers and welcome to this evening's transnational live sporting extravaganza.
Yes, two nations, one night, one dream is the slightly questionable marketing slogan I've attached to the action which takes in a crucial game in the race for the top four, a massive crunch match in the title race and the not insignificant question of the world's second-biggest derby match in a bloody cup final.
So yeah, pretty big stuff for an average Wednesday.
We'll be keeping you up to date with all the goings-on, reaction and analysis so there's no need to go anywhere.
No chance of it being rained off tonight at Goodison Park.
This fixture was postponed after the wind and wet stuff made buildings around Everton's stadium unsafe, but the weather is glorious as Palace - a very different Palace - return to Merseyside for the final time this season.
We're here at Goodison in plenty of time for tonight's game. Live updates here on @Official_CPFC during the game. pic.twitter.com/OkmSiAzkiE— Crystal Palace FC (@Official_CPFC) April 16, 2014
The plan for tonight goes a little bit like this:
- Everton vs Crystal Palace - 19:45
- Man City vs Sunderland - 19:45
- Real Madrid v Barcelona - 20:30
So we'll be focusing on the first half of those Premier League games before we start going cojones-deep on the big one in Spain.
We're expecting team news shortly from Liverpool and Manchester, while in Spain they've already (supposedly) been leaked.
Questionable clásico teams:
- Casillas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrão; Modri?, Alonso, Isco; Bale, Di María, Benzema.
- Pinto; Alves, Mascherano, Adriano, Alba; Xavi, Sergio, Iniesta; Neymar, Messi, Cesc.
Gah, these were better days, weren't they? I mean, not for Figo but nobody does fun stuff like chucking pig's heads anymore #AgainstModernFootball
23-11-2002: a warm welcome. baby pig's head thrown towards Luis Figo pic.twitter.com/awSCwNaLCp— AS English (@English_AS) April 16, 2014
Everton vs Crystal Palace team news:
- Everton: Howard; Coleman, Stones, Distin, Baines; Barry, Mirallas, Barkley, Deulofeu, McGeady; Lukaku.
- Crystal Palace: Speroni, Mariappa, Delaney, Dann, Ward, Jedinak, Ledley, Bolasie, Puncheon, Chamakh, Jerome.
Just the one change from Crystal Palace who bring in the Moroccan Ibrahimovic for Kagisho Dikgacoi.
Everton put out a strongish lineup but no Jagielka or McCarthy for them, while McGeady gets a rare start.
Teamsheets are in at the Etihad Stadium too:
- Manchester City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Kolarov, Milner, Garcia, Fernandinho, Nasri, Aguero, Negredo.
- Sunderland: Mannone, Vergini, Alonso, Brown, O'Shea, Cattermole, Colback, Larsson, Johnson, Borini, Wickham.
City welcome back Kun Aguero to the starting lineup, and Milner gets a start after his impressive sub appearance in Sunday's loss to Liverpool.
Sunderland look 4-3-3 as opposed to the back five we've sometimes seen and thankfully Jozy Altidore is nowhere near the starting XI. In fact, such is £9million Altidore's fall from grace that Connor Wickham - who has spent most of the season on loan in the Championship - is starting ahead of him.
Finally, after all the weeks denying it, Manuel Pellegrini is right – City aren't favourites, any more.
Not since Sunday that is. Not since Anfield.
But if City win their last six games they will be champions unless Liverpool win all four of their games. Even a draw when Chelsea venture to Merseyside on Sunday week will open the door for Pellegrini's men.
Tonight, though, they have to walk towards that door, so that they can step through it if the opportunity beckons.
Surely, this isn't the biggest ask of the season. Even Gus Poyet seems to have given up on his side.
Five changes, though, for City, a start for Aguero balanced out, and then some, by the absence of David Silva.
The normal switch of left-backs, Kolarov in, but also starts for Milner, Javi Garcia and Negredo. And City, of course, without Yaya Toure.
Still, surely, a banker. Sunderland more black cloud than Black Cats. Surely????
Right, let's kick this into gear shall we?
10 minutes until kick-off in our two Premier League encounters and things heating up nicely.
First game since the Hillsborough anniversary for Goodison Park, and it sounds like the 96 are being remembered well - as always - by the blue side of the city:
At Goodison for Everton v Crystal Palace. There's a line of kids in front of the Bullens Rd holding a chain of Everton & Liverpool scarves.— Tony Barrett (@TonyBarretTimes) April 16, 2014
The teams are out at both games, and we're ready to begin.
Brendan Rodgers has made the short trip to Goodison to check out one of the teams that stands in the way of his Premier League title dream.
Fernandinho has put City ahead inside the first minute!
Jack Colback loses the ball in a dangerous area, but it's great work from Negredo and Aguero to create a chance through neat interplay.
The ball falls to the Brazilian midfielder and he makes no mistake.
Sunderland's gameplan out the window.
107 seconds is the goal time on Fernandinho's opener.
In Liverpool, it's a great start from Everton who already went close from a corner and then had a good chance when Deulofeu's cross was inches from being diverted home by Kevin Mirallas.
Noisy stuff from the Palace fans that made a second weeknight trip of the season to the North-West. At least they haven't had the game called off this time.
Two minutes. One goal. Three points?
Might well be, and as simple as taking candy from a baby.
Negredo nicks the ball off a dawdling Cattermole and Aguero spears through the middle.
A pass to his right, a dummy by Negredo and Fernandinho has all the time in the world to steer past the exposed Mannone from 12 yards.
Not sure what Poyet told his players about keeping it tight....
Sunderland have their first chance of the game.
A rare mistake (are they that rare at the moment?) allows the Black Cats a decent opportunity but John O'Shea - hardly the goalscorer extraordinaire - spurns it.
Still 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
Everton on top at Goodison Park so far and enjoying A LOT of possession.
Romelu Lukaku appears to be starting from the right again, where Joel Ward - despite his fine season thus far - will really be tested by the physicality of the Belgian.
Although having said that he's now operating through the centre, so perhaps what we can glean from this all is that Everton look pretty fluid tonight.
The opposite of Pulis' rigid set-up.
More from Everton as Aiden McGeady blasts one powerfully goalwards but it whistles over. It's prone to becoming a bit end-to-end this game, and the hosts look dangerous on the counter as they hit back to Palace's attacks.
Ross Barkley wanted a penalty when Joe Ledley appeared to trip him but the replays show the delayed reaction from the England lad, and a bit of a theatrical fall.
Nothing given and it remains 0-0 but Everton most likely to score.
After Everton took such a supporting part in yesterday's Hillsborough commemoration, the Blues do themselves and everyone on Merseyside proud again.
A line of school children hold a line of Everton and Liverpool scarves tied together as they stand in front of the Bullens Road end.
Goodison then unites as one as the whole crowd applaud for one minute in memory of the 96 victims.
Watching is Reds boss Brendan Rodgers, who is scouting Palace, and Margaret Aspinall, head of the Hillsborough Family Support Group.
Another chance for Sunderland! City looking far from secure at the back so far and that's Fabio Borini (I think) who should score.
They've done well since conceding and Pellegrini's men need to find some composure.
We've got the teams arriving from Spain so they'll be with you shortly.
El clásico teams. I'd dwell on the important changes but we've got a goal in the Premier League:
- Real Madrid: Casillas, Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao, Xabi Alonso, Modric, Bale, Di Maria, Isco, Benzema
- Barcelona: Pinto, Dani Alves, Mascherano, Bartra, Alba; Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta, Cesc; Messi, Neymar.
And would you credit it? Crystal Palace take the lead at Goodison Park.
Yannick Bolasie breaks through in the right-hand channel and fizzes a cross across goal.
The defence get a foot on it to deflect away but it falls to Marouane Chamakh, whose lay-off is curled in the bottom corner by Jason Puncheon.
The man is on fire.
Everton have continued to dominate at Goodison but they are behind.
Across in Manchester, City are comfortable in possession and still lead but their defence is none too confident and Poyet rightfully smells blood.
We're ten minutes from kick-off in Valencia too, so here's Carlo Ancelotti previewing the Copa del Rey final:

What I use myself is IDM (Internet Download Manager).. I could say it's great!
But I recommend you search for the lasted versions, since it has some issues with Google Chrome!
Here's a list of free download managers:
like Anay said, No addon for IE 9 or older, why not use Internet download manager, Orbit Download manager, or Free download manager.
there is no exact alternative to download helper for IE/Chrome,
but you try Orbit Download manager or Internet Download Manager it has similar extension for these browser to download video.
Or try software named "TubeMaster++"
no such add on in IE 9, but free download manager will work with almost all browsers that you may have.

I paid over $200 o this company to get information regarding their sales strategies. First, their sever is not secure! The first charge was $39, and then the second (which they don'ttell you about until it's too late, and you pretty much have to do it) was $197. I was immediately contacted by y bank, and told I was getting multiple charges in fr $197 from all over the world.
I was able to dispute these other charges, but when I got the information, it was all based on using Facebook. I do not use Facebook, so I requested my money back. Part of the reason I requested it back was the server problem. I just had no trust in this company.
Here is my first response from their person apparently in charge of this, and her decision.
The only thing I told them was I would contact the AGs office if I didn't get my refund. Several other emails went back and forth, but at the end of the day, she basically said because I didn't apologize, she was not refunding the money.
These people should be out of business. The least professional group I have ever seen, and not backing their guarantee.

A study of 500 psychiatric clinic patients indicated that serious crime (felony conviction) was chiefly associated with sociopathy, alcoholism, and drug dependence. Except for sexually deviant behavior leading to arrest and conviction, other psychiatric disorders are infrequently associated with felonies.

GM: She shot H20 (obviously enough; that's the only one she sees) who had 23 hp at the start of this turn. It's down to 9.
I did not specify which of these two shot at you; I bundled the two together as the 'north archers' but it has to be H19 (who used to be the one on the edge of the eastern side the previous turn) as you can see from the previous turn (the one who had 16hp) and was standing at K22.
H19: 14 hp
H20: 9hp

OOC: A technical question for Mal: Funny this problem hasn't reared its ugly head yet, but if Mikara uses Twin Strike, can she roll separately such that if the first target dies, she can choose another target based on the result of the first attack? Funny that I never thought to do this until now (You'd think that after 4 levels of game-play she'd have had the chance by now ).

OOC: Mal, if I move to T23 with a move action (avoiding the southern archer by moving from T19 through S19, R20 to R22 then to S23 and end in T23 [6 steps total]) to avoid an OA, I can use Gloaming Cut on the Archer to shift 2 squares to U22 and make a Stealth Check to become hidden, right?
Then, when the archer comes after me on his turn, I'll be able to strike back with an OA (offhand dagger), no? Do I have combat Advantage against him when I surprise him this way?
Perhaps a Bluff Check to make the archer believe that I'm trying to escape him instead of ambushing him?

Sound of StoneYou can't slide the Swordman to O24 with your flurry of blow damage; the target must be slid to an adjacent square. You are only dispensed from that restriction if the target of the flurry of blow wasn't the target of the triggering attack.
Given that restriction, the only logical square to slide the target is P25

Aedan gasps for breath as the arrow punctures his in the chest. His limbs feel weak and he has trouble focusing his vision. The rogue stumbles across the roof while the archer reaches for another arrow, slowly aiming it at Aedan. "I shall enjoy looting your corpse" the man barks, his voice resembling a jackall.
For a second, Aedan seems to give in to his injuries - he coughs and can't help lowering his head. "Come and get me then" Aedan rasps with a bloodied voice - the rogue's body seems to find new energy and Aedan unleashes a volley at the archer and drops himself around the corner. Aedan then presses himself against the wall - ready to respond the second the archer turns around the corner.

Mikara are they still up on the roof? Gil asks, back-stepping toward the elf all the while.
OOC: Gil's turn coming later today. If anyone who knows IC that the archers are on the roof, feels like communicating that to Gil IC, that would be nice. In fact, could someone please tell Gil the archers are still up there?

OOC: @Mal - The push to O24 is from the Cranes Wings technique, then I meant to slide him to P25 with the flurry (which has range 2 from Pointed Step Feat), so it's all worked out as I intended.
I don't think I'm revealing any info that Sound of Stone wouldn't know here... I think I've got LOS to the north roof.
Sound of Stone allows his focus to leave the swordsman in front of him for a second, so he can scan the roof lines. "I see two on that roof," he points to the roof north of the main melee. "There was one more up there, I hit him with a rock a moment ago. I can't see him now, but I can hear blades clashing. The one called Aeden was up there too."

Skill Level Beginner
In this movie, I want to begin our exploration of secondary color inside of Adobe SpeedGrade by talking about using keys. Keys lets you isolate a portion of the image based on the HSL, Hue/Saturation and Lightness values for further refinement and correction, and making a secondary color correction using a key inside of Adobe SpeedGrade is really straightforward and pretty easy. Let's begin by taking a look at the shot. This is pretty cool looking shot of a lizard, but there's one things that's distracting me about the shot, and that's this green leafy background right here. I think it's just a touch too saturated. So what I want to do is use a key to isolate this leafy background and then de-saturate it just a touch so it's not as distracting.
Well, let's come down to our Layers palette down here and you can see that I actually already have a primary correction on this shot. And I use this primary correction to do a slight contrast adjustment on the shot. If I use the decimal key on my keyboard number pad, I can toggle that correction on and off, so there's before and there's after; before and after, and you can see it's just a simple contrast correction. But this is actually a really big point; you want to make sure that you perform primary corrections before secondary corrections. Why? Well, as you perform primary corrections, you potentially change where in the tonal range an object that you're trying to isolate exists.
So it's always a good idea to perform a primary correction before a secondary correction. Okay, so now that we've seen that we have a primary correction on the shot, let's come back down to the Layers palette here and click on this button right here, the +S button, and that's going to add a new secondary layer to this shot. And in Adobe SpeedGrade, the main purpose of a secondary layer is for a key. Over here in the main part of the window, I have my controls for this key, but we are not seeing all of them right now, so let me grab this little handle and drag up so we see everything. And then, because I'm on a Mac, I'm going to go ahead and use the keyboard shortcut Command+Home to snap the image back into the viewable area, up here in the monitor.
If you are on a PC that keyboard shortcut would be Ctrl+Home key. Down here in the main part of the Look tab with my secondary layer selected, the most noticeable thing that you'll probable see is this area right here, and these are my Hue, Lightness and Saturation controls. And let's start at the very top. Using these buttons right here, I can isolate different vectors or different preset colors. So for example, red, yellow and green. Below these Presets, or below these Vectors, I have my individual Hue, Lightness and Saturation qualifiers, and I can enable and disable each one by simply using this little check box right there.
On each qualifier, you'll notice a scale, one right there, one right there and one right there. Let's start out with the Hue scale. The Hue scale just simply shows me the color spectrum, wrapping around from red to red. The Lightness scale shows me black on the left and white on the right, and then the Saturation scale shows me desaturated on the left and heavily or fully saturated on the right. Now each qualifier, when you make a selection can have a little block, like this one for hue. This block determines the range of the selection that you've made on that particular qualifier.
And you can adjust the range by using this top little triangle here, by dragging out or dragging in to adjust the range. Once you've settled on a range, you can use the bottom of the triangle here to drag out to soften that selection or to soften that range. Below the qualifiers, you'll find a plus eyedropper and a minus eyedropper. The plus eyedropper lets you add to your selection and the minus eyedropper, of course, let's you subtract from your selection. Using the X key here, you can reset your selection. And then this little button right here, that's a plus and minus button, allows you to invert the selection that you've made.
Normally, when you make a selection and then make a correction based on that selection, you're affecting what you've selected. However, if you click this button you can correct the inverse of your selection, which is useful in certain circumstances. Then over here in the main part of the window I have all my color correction controls. Things like Input Saturation, Contrast, Temperature, and so on. I also have controls for Offset and Gain. All right, so let's go ahead and actually make a selection, and the way I'm going to do that is by clicking the plus eyedropper right here and then coming up to the image and clicking and dragging on the green leafy background there.
Now it looks like nothing happened, but something actually did. Notice here in my Hue, Lightness and Saturation qualifiers, I've actually made a selection. These different ranges right here, but I'm not actually seeing that selection at the moment. To see the selection, I need to come over to this menu right here, labeled Gray-out and the default option is None, meaning that I'm not going to actually see my selection. But I have three different ways of viewing my selection in this menu. I can view the selection as Color/Gray background. I can view the selection as Color/Black background, and I can also view the selection in a more traditional matte view as White/Black background.
Let's start out with a Color/Gray background. So here's my initial selection, what's in color right here, and then my background here which is gray, it's stuff that they don't have selected in the shot. The same idea with the Color/Black background. What's in color is what I've selected and what's in black is stuff that I haven't selected. And then, finally, for a more traditional sort of matte view, you have the White on Black view, again it's the same idea. What's white is what you have selected, and what's black is not selected. It will not take part in the secondary correction. I actually like the Color/Gray view, but which option you choose is totally up to you.
So now that I've made a selection, let's go ahead and refine it just a touch so we get a little bit of a better selection. I'm going to start out with my Hue qualifier here and widen out the Hue just a touch; something like that works, and then I'm going to do the same thing with my Lightness control. Yeah, I'm liking that, and then finally, I'll do the same thing with my Saturation control. I'll also soften up the Saturation control just a touch, and go back and soften the Lightness qualifier or the Lightness control, just a touch as well.
Okay, one last thing that we need to do before actually making the correction, and that's to use these two controls right here for Blur and Denoise. It's always a good idea to blur and denoise your selection, so that you don't get any chattering or ringing on the edges, or any other artifacts that might be present when you make a selection. So what I'm going to do is drag up the Blur control here, and remember, you can always hold down the Shift key to change the value of a slider, a little bit faster here inside of Adobe SpeedGrade. So I'm going to drag up until I'm around a value of 2 or so, yeah that's working, and then I'm also going to denoise the selection just a touch, maybe a value of around .5, .55, somewhere in there.
All right, that's looking good and then I'm going to come back to the Gray-out menu here, and change this back to None. So I've made a selection and I'm pretty happy with it, but now it's time to actually make the correction. So I'm going to come into my final Saturation control right here, this guy, and drag down, again, holding the Shift key, so I can drag a little faster and something like that is working pretty well for me. Now with the secondary layer selected over here in the Layers palette, once again I'm going to use the decimal or period key on the number pad on my keyboard and toggle that on and off.
So there's the original and then the corrected shot; original and corrected shot. And you can see that the leafy background here is less distracting. I actually think I want to touch too far, so I'll add a little more saturation back in and that's looking pretty good. So there you have it, performing a secondary correction by using a key inside of Adobe SpeedGrade. Keys are a very versatile way of making secondary corrections. Although, we used the key in this movie to isolate a background element so we could reduce its saturation, keys can be used for a wide variety of circumstances; things like skies, adjusting skin tone, and so on.
I think the more that you practice using the key, instead of Adobe SpeedGrade, the more usage you'll find for them in your own projects.

Well done for gritting it out Nicole. That experience will probably stand you in better stead than an easy win, you now know that you are capable of more than you thought.
I knew I wasn't going to do very well in that heat, I also spent a lot of time chucking water all over myself which might explain the shiny pink face I have despite sun lotion. Time was just slipping away from me every mile after the first six and I never regained it despite it getting a bit cooler as we approached the city. Eternally grateful to the spectators who gave me numerous oranges and a couple of ice pops which really helped. Was aiming for 3:45 but ended up with 3:51:12 which won't get me qualifying for next year but enjoyed myself nevertheless.
Everyone mentions the Newton hills but the fact that the rest of the course is by no means flat means it can take it out of you when other circumstances aren't going in your favour. I haven't yet found a race where the support compares to Boston so will be doing my best to return next year.
Little Theodor and McHilly - looking at the results there were a lot of people slower than expected, elites included. Roll on next year, hopefully a bit cooler.
Good luck all.
If it's not too late
There are some goodish leaflets and maps at a sort of information table as you exit the expo but still in the building.
Sounds horrendous Phil, nothing like last minute stress. No upgrade, I take it? I'm out here now, it's bright and chilly. Off to expo later after a quick job and a large breakfast.
Not packed but I've still got a couple of hours tomorrow.
If it does turn out sunny on Monday remember you may need a bit of protection as the course is a straightish line and quite exposed (lopsided tan alert).
Nicole - you sound like you're ready fo it. Even if it's not your best run enjoy it - there's a lot of positive energy to be had.
I'm also doing the 5K. Looking forward to some nice food and beer.
Safe journeys everyone.

Play the game online now!
If you want to play Titanic – Adventure Out of Time without the hassle of installing it on your machine then this post is for you.
Daniel Hobi, the creator of the Titanic Voyage project has kindly made it possible for you to play online. Simply go to this webpage.
It's available in English, French, German and Russian at present. The English demo is currently live as well.
You need to have Java installed and the website (http://www.danielhobi.ch/taoot ) added as a trusted source to enable the game to work.
If you're having problems with the Java security settings then the following tutorial by Learn Some Thing should help you out.
6 Responses to "Play the game online now!"
Beautiful. I absolutely love this game.
I've tried 3 different computers and I still cannot get this to work.😦
how can i play this on an ipad without a mouse?
Hey! This really is the game of my childhood! I was 4 when it came out and I remember going to the shop to get it with my dad! I'd REALLY like to play it again but I can't seem to get the online version to work with my Mac OS Mavericks? Anyone know of any work arounds?
Any help would be hugely appreciated! Thanks!
Worked for me. You will have to install the game launcher. For me, I need to download it every time I need to play (after restarting/shutting down my system), and I cannot go widescreen. Other then that, it works great, a few technical glitches here and here, but works good for those who can't play the CD ROM anymore.
This requires Java which loads in all sorts of viruses and crap. I put in Java and immediately I had a weird redirect bug that took me to a fake Java update that keep redirecting me there so I could never download this game.
There was no other way to get rid of the redirect loop until I turned off Java and now I can browse the internet again without that loop. Thank God!
Java is pure evil.
I am sorry the webmaster choose to use such garbage instead of making a simple exe file.

Sanjjanna-Thilak: Ganda Hendathi then, siblings now!
Sanjjanna and Thilak are one of the popular on-screen jodis of Kannada film industry. Thanks to their intimacy scenes in the movie Ganda Hendathi way back in 2006 which made them the hottest couple of Sandalwood. However, the actors have moved on after their debut Kannada movie, but the movie has continued to be a matter of debate even today.
Well, Sanjjanna and Thilak have never worked together in a film after Ganda Hendathi. When the two stars came into the Bigg Boss Kannada house, people looked at them with a lot of curiosity and wondered how they would gel in the house. As we witnessed, both the actors were uncomfortable being together at one place and the Ganda Hendathi experience haunted them.
Later, Thilak, in a very casual way, made a remark which was enough for Sanjjanna's face to turn red. The actor had said, "Picture alli nim jothe yella ag hogide ri (We have done everything in the film)." This sparked a controversy and made Sanjjanna to fume over him. Later, when she was eliminated from the show, she used strong words to criticise him.
Speaking to Oneindia, she had claimed, "I was fine with Thilak. He has been a good friend of mine. But his careless comment did not go well with me. I tolerated his cheap comments thrice but fourth time I could not digest. I really lost my patience at his stupid remark. I told him that I did anything and everything for a film. It is limited to films and nothing beyond that. Nobody will pass such comment to an artist and that too on a game show. He did not understand that I am a woman and to what extent such remarks will hurt me."

Nadzmi Mohd Salleh, the head of Malaysia's badminton association, has already said he will also seek the position to be vacated by South Korea's Kang Young-joong after eight years at the helm.
Indonesian Justian Suhandinata is another candidate for the top job at the Kuala Lumpur-based BWF.
Badminton came under fire at last year's London Olympics when four women's doubles pairs from South Korea, China and Indonesia deliberately played to lose their matches in order to get a more favourable draw.
The sport was admitted to the Olympics in 1992 and Hoyer Larsen remains the only European to have won a badminton gold medal at a Games.
"Coming from a background as a player myself I am very keen that our sport is administered in a way where consideration to the players is taken in all decisions that we make," said the Dane in a statement announcing he had been nominated for the presidency.
"Without players there is no BWF and as administrators we must never lose sight of that."

REVIEW: 6522 Highway Patrol
Posted 01 February 2010 - 05:21 PM
Hello everyone!
Today, we'll take a small journey to the past to look, observe and talk about a small gem that made our days happier back in the '80s. It is one of these sets that despite of not being large or too fancy, buying it while going for a walk with the parents, made children to have a big smile in their faces! (I'm getting sentimental, I know... )
So, without further delay, here is the 6522 Highway Patrol.
Name: Highway Patrol
Set Nr: 6522
Year: 1987
Theme: Legoland/Town
Pieces: Brickset says 30. According to Bricklink the piece count is 22 if we count the motorcycle as 1 piece and exclude the minifigs.
Minifigs: 2
Price: The original price is unknown. An average price for a used set is around $10.00 today.
Useful Links: Brickset Bricklink Peeron
The Police sub-theme was always one of TLG's main target when it comes to releasing new sets. This one was a great set for someone to own not one but two motorcycles and two policemen! Small, affordable and almost an impulse set, it was a great choice for expanding your police force.
Box Photo (Image taken from Peeron.com)
Legoland boxes... Don't you just love them?
As I 've already mentioned in another Classic Town review, the "Town System" logo and the small age box recommendation was never present on sets boxes that were released in Greece.
Instructions' Front Page
Wrinkled, used but still charming. You can clearly see the absence of the "Town System" logo. Plain Legoland, plain fun.
Instructions' Back Page
The back page shows two alternate models. Well, nobody expects something too different given the piece count. Not sure though about what are these exactly.
I assume that the first picture is probably a bench for repairing motorcycles, (the police tiles are tools - come on people, use your imagination! ). The second one is a phone booth (at least that's obvious! )
Random steps from the instructions
The instructions is just a two-sided long piece of paper. I've folded it in that way, in orded to see both the minifigs assembly and some steps (like they are many... ) from the phone booth.
Classic Town in all its glory! The heads are the classic smiley ones and the torsos are the common ones for the regular policemen that were used in the police sets back in the old days. 22 years, still not faded!
The minifigs also have the classic space helmet, a part that is discontinued now.
Comparing two generations
Here is the current policeman next to the classic one. The helmet is now closed, there are much more details printed on the torso, the new one wears gloves (dirty job!), the police badge is now coloured and I must admit that I like it. (What do you mean .."if I like it more than the classic one?" This is getting too personal....)
The parts
Small piece count but some interesting elements here! Four printed (bold letters were definetely on purpose! ) tiles with the police logo, one 1x2 printed (again! ) brick also with "POLICE" on it, a nice slope with a telephone printing and the highlight of the set, the classic motorcycles!
Printed parts were the canon and not the exception back in the '80s-early '90s. Why not now TLG???
Building the phone booth
Now, you don't expect descriptions about genious building techniques and the process, do you?
A small, simple and easy to build phone booth. I guess that having the Police logo on it, it probably serves as an emergency phone. You want a civilian phone booth? Replace the printed brick and- voila!
What are you looking at? I just wanna call the captain at the precinct downtown.
-No Mary, I love you, why did you dump me? Please come baaaack!
-Come on Bryant. There are plenty of other minigirls out there for you to meet. Forget her!
The motorcycles
The motorcycles are the main feature of this set. They were very common in that era and were small and simple. Adding the right parts such as the police tiles, the lever and the small 1x1 blue light you have your badass cop mean machine!
Side view
Front view
Rear view
Bird's eye view
Front angle view
The guys at the back are just fooling around because Mary returned to Bryant. Try not to be distracted from the review...
I really like the old motorcycles! My only suggestion when it comes to the police ones is that they should have a windshield like this one:
Image taken from Brickset.com
Comparing the vehicles
The classic one is dwarfed!
...and ready for action! The police logos are stickers on the new one. A big disadvantage!
There has been a debate in the past, regarding the classic motorcycles not being realistic enough and also some points that the new motorcycles are more realistic.
I, too, like the new ones but if we want to see the truth face to face we better check something more.
Have you ever seen a motorcycle this tall in real life? It is even taller from the minifig! O.K, it's much more detailed but I think that the size of the classic motorcycle is absolutely acceptable. If it only had that windshield...
Ready to patrol now!

Brothers, bike cops!
(Family Guy anyone? )
Hey! Even if you are the law, you are not above the law!
The complete set
Here it is! A 22 year set that still has its fans!
Bonus pic
Here is our set, in a lovely town layout, taken from the 1987 catalogue.
Those classic town layouts were always great!
A very nice set from the past that I always loved and an easy way of getting two motorcycles and two police minifigs. It is one of the typical "almost" impulse sets from the '80s and a good source for some interesting parts, considering the piece count of course. If you like classic town or if you want to expand your police force, have no second thoughts.
Buy it!
Playability: 7.5/10 ( Two motorcycles, two policemen, a good start for creating LEGO stories.)
Design: 6/10 ( A simple phone booth and two vehicles. Not much space left for too much designing.)
Minifigs: 8/10 ( Two minifigs is a very good number and they still got the charm.)
Parts: 7/10 ( Nothing too special. The motorcycles are the highlight here. Windshields should have been added though...)
Price: 7/10 ( The price for a used set is O.K. The original price remains unknown.)
Overall: 8/10 ( Classic Town vibes all over! A very nice set! You know, expensive parfums, small bottles... )
Thanks for reading! See you in the busy streets!

Delicious gingerbread cookies - perfect combination of spices. I couldn't wait to dunk one of them into my afternoon coffee. I tried to find my gingerbread man cookie cutter to no avail, so I cut them out as stars. The recipe didn't specify a temperature so I cooked them at 350 degrees and for a little less time as my oven cooks a little hotter than normal. Made for the Football Pool tag game - Congrats on your win!
