That home depot location no longer sells trailers, so they cannot (or are unwilling) to help me replace the defective wheels on my new trailer. s****. />
I dealt with a woman named Dawn Thompson at Duro Tire. Her only recommendation was to have the wheels repaired and send them the bill. When I told her I'd rather have new wheels instead of newly-repaired wheels on my brand new trailer she responded that this is "not tire repair."
Quick note: it's summer time in Arizona, 115 degrees. I have to go outside, take the wheels off of my brand new $500 trailer, bring them to a tire repair shop to get them fixed, then put the refurbished wheels back on my brand new trailer in 115 degree heat. Dawn suggested I have someone "...hold a flashlight for me and do it at night." In the summer in Arizona at night it cools down to a brisk 105. Thanks Dawn.
(I digressed.) When I told her I'd rather have new wheels instead of newly-repaired wheels on my brand new trailer she said "this is not tire repair, you just need to have the nozzle replaced." To me, the process I described in the last paragraph is tire repair. And a lot of work for me, and an expense for which I have no real reason to believe Dawn and her cohorts at Duro Tire will reimburse me.

Trailer isn't new anymore
AUTHOR: Yankee Redneck - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 25, 2011POSTED: Wednesday, May 25, 2011
Products are manufactured and sold in huge groups. The item you received may have been one of the first manufactured and last sold, giving it some age before you took it home. Non-perishable products (even though the clock IS running on things like tires and valve stems) are not routinely rotated like bread and milk.
As far as the replacement of the valve stems, replacing them is not a big deal and in no way represents something less than new. The stems will be new...and obviously in better condition than those you bought. It is a simple procedure and the tire may not have to be removed from the rim, depending on the size of the tire and skill of the technician.
It sounds like Duro offered you a fair deal. You now own a piece of equipment and as an owner of dozens of pieces of equipment over the years, these things happen...new, old, or in-between.
I recently bought an inexpensive (as in cheap) yard wagon and as most of these comsumer goods go, it was made in China. It was in pieces in the carton and required assembly. The bolts were of such poor quality that the nuts wouldn't even thread onto the bolts!
Rather than drive 60 miles back to the bargain hardware outlet where I bought the darn thing, I went to the local hardware and bought American sized bolts and completed the job. Sometimes things aren't worth getting all worked up about...you'll live longer and you may just learn something along the way.
You shouldn't expect new wheels and tires. Your complaint doesn't indicate a problem with them. And even if you did get them, you still will have to take them off the trailer in 100+ degree heat to exchange them and re-install the new ones.
So, suck it up, take them to a tire shop or lawn and garden repair shop and get them taken care of. And get a detailed receipt...in duplicate, if possible.
And if the heat really is such an issue for you, maybe moving to a more moderate climate would be in your better interest.
Maybe you aren't able to do the job. If so, maybe a friend or neighbor would help you out for a refreshing beverage of his choice. Hey, just trying to help out here!
Good luck.

HBO® presents the Season Two premiere of Hung®, the hit comedy series from Colette Burson and Dmitry Lipkin (The Riches), and starring Thomas Jane, Jane Adams and Anne Heche. Set in the (still) recession-plagued suburbs of Detroit, Hung continues to revolve around the unorthodox efforts of divorced teacher/coach Ray Drecker (Jane) to generate extra cash – by selling his "winning tool" to desperate women.]]>

The premise, that Ray Drecker is a high school coach (getting laid off in this season) by day, and reluctant male prostitute by night, totally sparks my interest. Current, provocative, a story seed that can grow and blossom in any number of interesting ways. However the writers just aren't going anywhere at all with this. The shock value of an average Joe using his biggest endowment to earn a salary wore off in Season I. We saw Ray awkwardly executing his first few jobs, we saw him come to terms, sorta, with his status as male prostitute, we saw Tanya the poet totally get off on the vision of herself as a pimp. Enter the evil conniving woman who tries to take over the business for a bit of intrigue and stress. And that... is pretty much where we have Season II as well. And the first few episodes of Season III. Nothing much is happening that's new, and they've explored most of the avenues opened in the first several episodes of the entire series. There simply isn't any freshness in the story line.
Another problem I have is the relative sexiness of the show. I'm a woman - the target client of this fictional male gigolo - and what I'm seeing is more of a male-fantasy version of a man giving women what they want so much they're willing to pay $600 a pop for it. For instance one recurring theme is that Ray drops his pants to show a woman his size, and they immediately become obsessed with having him. [A thousand online dating clients with cell phone cameras will tell you that this approach does not seem to actually entice your average woman] I'm not really getting the sex appeal.Read more ›
"Hung" deals with the adventures of a good-looking basketball coach named Ray (played to perfection by mega-stud Thomas Jane) living in a suburb of Detroit. In order to make ends meet he enters the escort business as he possess a rather large bodily "tool" that lots of women find most attractive. The series deals with his interactions with his former wife, played beautifully by Anne Heche, as well as his two children. The second season mainly deals with Ray's involvement with his two female pimps, Lenore and Tanya, who both have different ideas in making Ray a huge success.
This season, like season two, has 10 entertaining and well-written thirty minute episodes. Here is a list of those shows along with their original airdates.

Clam ChowderMonday, April 02, 2012
Husband and I woke up at 2++ am this morning. It is a habit of him, waking up early, yerp as early as that, if he had to catch an early flight the next morning. He went to the airport at 5, and I went back to my bed, trying to catch some sleeps before the little guy wakes up. Failed. Minutes later, the little guy woke up, asking for a milk and his daddy. After pujuk and patted him, he went back to sleep.... and I couldn't bring myself to sleep after that. It was raining cats and dogs though... T_T
The soup. The soup was inspired from one of the local restaurant we've visited often. I simply adore their seafood chowder and it becoming a must have item every time we dined in. Instead of making a seafood chowder, I opted for clams. I used a recipe from I am a food blog which has lots of vege chunks apart from the clams itself. The recipe is simple and within an hour, a bowl of creamy, thick soup was served. We ate this with hard rolls, made by my husband. ;) and the breadmaker..hihi
Best of all, the soup is really flavorful. The clam taste is mild, which is great for Adam and his dad. Both of them are not that adventurous when it comes to seafood. There are carrots, celery, potato, and onions inside and their flavors are well composed. Husband had 3 bowls, including one he had before he flew, and Adam had one big bowl for dinner. I, on the other hand, only had a small bowl since I was too content.
On a side note, those photos were captured with a new tripod Husband got me. It was a lot easier to handle compared to previous one. TQ dear for the surprise! :)
Well, I'm super duper sleepy now :P. Please bare with my vocabs and inept grammars. Good night blogger-land!
Psst..I forgot to snap the clam pics. My bad.

Gen. Chat "Best Fitness Trackers" by thetealappeal
Oshi 4 years ago on 01/01/12
Equipped: Galaxy's Most Dangerous Cute Lifeform: "Metriod" named "Squish"
Fitocracy isn't about calorie tracking at all, just logging exercises, and encouraging you to keep at it.
Hence why I use a separate thing for tracking calories and weight.
PS: Oh yeah... Not sure their invite code is still going, but they had an open invite for the HOlidays going:
I'm personally out of codes, and I don't think you guys want to join via the cgl group...
Scarlett 4 years ago on 01/02/12

I love seeing you guys update your progress on loseit. It made me all gay.
I definitely wanted to check out fitocracy, but didn't have an invite code. Thanks, Oshi! Checking it out now! (And almost level two, just from yesterday!)
Overall, I prefer loseit because I can also track my fooding but I'll keep fitocracy up to date too! All the more accountability, like Jamie said!

Maybe one day they'll integrate the APIs so LoseIt workouts go into Fitocracy, and/or vice versa, like they did with Runkeeper. That would be sweet.

They should put these two things together.
I like LoseIt's food tracker, but I'm kind of hating the exercise part a bit. I wish it would let me track in reps/sets rather than minutes....I will get used to this I'm sure though.
PS: I'm also a little bummed that it doesn't have me track water intake. I liked that about LS and SP. I don't always remember to drink my 8 glasses.
ExecutiveProducerDickWolf 4 years ago on 01/02/12
Equipped: Fruits Drops named "THUNDERGUN™ flesh loss supplements"
One other annoying thing about lose it is that it sometimes dramatically overestimates calories burned (especially with something like an elliptical trainer), so instead of saying "40 minutes at light resistance" I have to say 10 or 15 to get an accurate count. And then everyone will make fun of me for being puny.
nomad 4 years ago on 01/02/12
Equipped: Cockblast of Vengence named "A burst of rainbow fruit flavor in your mouth"
Calorie counting should be a tool, not something set in stone. Your own individual needs vary from day to day, its a good way toe stablish a barometer but its in no way exact, it cant really count how hard/easy your body worked.
Light resistance for someone who's a beginner can be just as hard and can burn just as much calories as an advanced person doing an intense session.
The counter is a great way to keep track of what you eat, alot of times we forget that we snacked on something and forgot to add it up and then we realise oh thats why I'm not losing weight. Also, you might eat 2000 calories at breakfast, does that mean you cant eat anything else during the day? Of course not, but you'll know, hey I need to make myself smaller breakfasts and divide the calories thought my entire day.
Bottom line is everyone should use their body as barometer, not a counter, if you're not losing weight, then eat less or exercise more. If you're losing weight but not gaining muscle, then you need to slow the cardio and intensify your weights.
Like everything else in life, you need to use common sense.
fukkake 4 years ago on 01/02/12
Equipped: Cockblast of Vengence named "Crotchfire!"
I don't think of it as calorie counting but rather keeping my food intake in check. When you eat that triple cheese burger you REALLY see it and I think that is how it helps.

What Steph said, totally. :)

fukkake said:
TOTALLY, will make you think twice about eating it for sure!
But, my post was more in lines with exercise tracking. Exercise is really really hard to put into "I burnt 1000 calories during this session". There are so many factors that determine how much you burn, even at rest after a work out you're still burning calories faster then someone who didnt move off his ass all day.
ExecutiveProducerDickWolf 4 years ago on 01/02/12
Equipped: Fruits Drops named "THUNDERGUN™ flesh loss supplements"
I enjoy the reliability of numbers when factoring in my exercise/calories but it's definitely not more important than how I actually, physically feel during and after a workout and through the course of the day. It's just nice to be able to have a semi-scientific data set so I can look back week to week and see how I'm doing, what I'm eating, and areas where I can improve.
I think there's something about numbers that gets people motivated; for better or worse, it makes it look like there's progress even when you can't physically tell by looking in a mirror. I'm sure that can be misleading, but personally I find it helps a lot.
fukkake 4 years ago on 01/02/12
Equipped: Cockblast of Vengence named "Crotchfire!"
I always take the stairs at work instead of the elevator, it is only three floors but those three floors make a difference because I am sitting all day long. I always take the long way to the copy machine/printer and the long way back to the fax machine. When i am sitting I take 5 minutes periods to kind of kick my legs under my desk.
Little things to combat the fact that I a sitting on my ass for most of the day.
That stuff is REALLY hard to calculate into your overall day with these type of applications. If they have a note section I always type it in. It all adds up eventually.

Housing association to continue providing services for abused Asian women
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities, Health
Failed asylum seeker children 'should not be detained' - Children's Commissioner
A housing association is to continue providing services at a refuge for Asian women who are suffering domestic abuse.
Raglan Housing has announced that it will be continuing its working partnership with both Bedford Borough and Central Bedfordshire Councils to provide services at Santosh Women's Refuge.
Raglan has been running the refuge since 2008 and was the preferred bidder when the two councils retendered the contract in December.
The HA's project manager at the refuge is delighted at the news. She said: "For many Asian women leaving a partner is an act of shame and dishonour with far reaching social, family and other consequences. The situation is often compounded by limited or no knowledge of English, legal rights and a limited or no understanding of the resources available.
"Raglan recognises the importance of providing a place of safety in which Asian women will find an understanding of their traditions and cultural and religious practises. At Santosh, they have the support of other women who are in the same situation and of skilled and empathetic staff."
The Santosh Refuge provides a place of safety for South Asian Women and children fleeing from home because of actual or threatened abuse by their partners or others.
The refuge has room for up to six women and their children. Each family has their own bedroom and shares other facilities, such as the lounge, kitchen and bathrooms.
To March last year, 125 referrals were made to the refuge. Out of these, 22 women and 20 children were accepted and a further 108 signposted to other agencies.
The type of abuse suffered by the majority of the women included emotional and psychological, alongside physical, sexual and financial abuse.
Other forms of abuse also included entrapment, isolation, neglect, threats of deportation and threats to kill, honour-based violence and forced marriage.
The majority of the women stay in the refuge for around six months, during which time they receive practical and emotional support to help them to make informed decisions about their future and to build self esteem so that they are able to maintain their independence.
Cllr Colleen Atkins, executive member for adults services at Bedford Borough Council, said: "A specialist refuge centre enables women to move forward with their lives, in a safe place where they are understood. What also helps to restore a woman's self-worth is when she lives beside other women who are in a similar position. This has a powerful effect on an individual. They can get the breathing space they so desperately need, and receive support for the emotional and psychological effects of abuse plus help in relation to securing benefits, housing, getting their children into school, and much more."

Up Front: October 2011
Providing you with the best information available on business jet travel is by far our most important goal here at BJT. As we work our way through meeting after meeting, draft after draft and plan after plan, what motivates us is helping you get the most out of private air transport. Therefore, we struggle daily with decisions about who belongs on our cover (is this person relevant enough?), which vacation destinations to spotlight (is this somewhere the BJT reader will want to visit?) and which topics to focus on (does the business jet traveler care about this?).
It didn't take us long to conclude that you'd be interested in the current issue's cover story: the results from BJT's first survey of our readers' private air travel preferences. But to proceed with this particular feature, we needed to count not only on your interest but on your participation. Our readers tend to be fast-paced people with little time to spare. Would you devote 20 minutes to filling out a survey from BJT? We thought long and hard about that–and then spent months promoting the project on our Web site, via email, in the magazine and through the mail. The result: nearly a thousand of you rose to the occasion, detailing your likes, dislikes and experiences regarding everything from aircraft models to fractional shares to charter companies.
Heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, and we look forward to hearing from even more of you next year. By the way, we provided a place in the survey for readers to write in their comments about flying privately, and many of the responses are poignant. My favorite is the one from a subscriber who simply wrote: "NOTHING BETTER."

Paranoid Dynamics and the Political Tactics of the Left
In an Office of Strategic Services confidential memorandum from October 1943, Henry A. Murray M.D. analyzed the personality of Adolf Hitler. In one portion of the analysis he explains how Hitler, despite showing all symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, was still successful as a politician. Murray wrote, "It should be observed that paranoid dynamics can be used very effectively in rousing ...Read More »

- I was in Afghanistan and i watched the documentary "Beer Wars." It really intrigued me, especially seeing how i am a avid beer lover. I did some research and decided to go with the Northern Brewer deluxe starter kit with glass primary and secondary carboys. I am currently only on my second batch but am already looking ahead to my all grain brew system.
- My next brew will defiantly be a Porter, and i want to upgrade to all grain brews....

Until a university study emerged last week, few experts suspected that it's more difficult to erase data stored on solid-state drives (SSD) than that on hard disk drives (HDDs).
Intel Monday announced a new line of solid-state drives (SSDs) that are based on the serial ATA (SATA) 3.0 specification, which doubles I/O throughput compared to previous generation SSDs.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Skip to comments.**Shock** ABC News: Romneys Happy to Have a Party When Black People Drown
Posted on 08/29/2012 10:16:35 AM PDT by GVnana
From BigGovernment:
Here's a look at the black, bitter, bitter, ugly and biased souls of our corrupt media during ABC News' live-feed coverage yesterday. The moment in question occurs in the first ten seconds. Listen closely: (Video at link)
From NewsBusters:
In ABC Webcast, Yahoos David Chalian Says Romneys Happy to Have a Party When Black People Drown
Read more: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-sheffield/2012/08/29/abc-news-romneys-happy-have-party-when-black-people-drown#ixzz24xLfJTqv
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Are they stereotyping black people as being unable to swim?
How more outrageous can things get? Wait...I'm afraid to know.
What, white people have super-secret anti-hurricane powers?
YEt it was lefties, Ellen Barkin and Samual Jackson, who twittered that they hoped the hurricane would kill as many of the republican conventioneers in Tampa as possible.
Do you have another link for the video. When I try to play it now says it is private.
How soon until the DNC has an ad saying "If Mitt Romney is elected president, he will come to your house, kill your parents break your stuff, eat your food, and kidnap your children for use in demonic rituals? You did know he is a mormon right?"
The communist left in this country is getting very, very desperate. Their PARTY is over. It's time for America to get a grip on reality again. America will never be a communist country. Way too many Americans still live here and the commies can't lock all of us up.
The Obama lead fifth column is no longer even trying to sneak their porpoganda into the minds of Americans. These vermin know the 'going hot' overthrow effort of the We The People Republic is coming, so they are no longer holding anything in reserve. The mainstream media is the fifth column enemy in America. Guillotines from orbit is the only way to be sure ... or something like that.
ABC is responding by IDing this creep as Yahoo news chief, updates: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/08/29/Shock-ABC-News-Romneys-Party-As-Black-People-Die
My first reaction is that Mr. Romney should play hardball. That he should get in front of cameras and explain that in light of such bigoted and insulting statements that he will no longer grant interviews or give press priviledges to ABC news. Nothing more / nothing less.
Make ABC and other left wingtards earn the priviledges back by way of showing respect. Not special consideration, just simply respect.
The craven lies of this 'put in chains' Pravda media/DNC house organ is sickening.
I'm Mia Love, and I DISapprove of this slanderous propaganda from the DNC/MSM.
Obama is ready to hold a party anytime, anywhere while MURDERING out Armed Forces members. That's his number one reason for partying. That, and islamizing America.
These scum are well trained in how to manipualte vulnerable minds. Take the issue as raised by lefties and by openly accusing Republicans of the evil, vulnerable minds cannot make a distinction in when or over what they first confronted the subliminal imagery. These people are evil, pure dripping evil.
Too bad these young biased reporters lack the wit to understand they're destroying an industry. More people trust used car salesmen than trust the press...
If we humans are influential enough to cause global warming why can't we stop hurricanes?!
Can't their Obamessiah just issue an edict that prohibits the storm from drowning people?
Skin color is an environmental adaptation based on where you live. Eskimos have very little skin color while those close to the equator have dark skins.
MSM reporters have a brain disorder called MORON!
And what about azzhole Obango golfing during the floods in the Midwest? I hate these people, really hate them. They're despicable.
I already avoid going to Yahoo - though I still use their email. Does anyone have any suggestions as to (a) an email alternative and (b) how to register my displeasure.
I already avoid going to Yahoo - though I still use their email. Does anyone have any suggestions as to (a) an email alternative and (b) how to register my displeasure.
David Chalian of Yahoo News.
David Chalian of Yahoo News.
David Chalian is biased, but he is not young. He is the Political Director for ABC News. What a great demonstration of the bias in the maistream media.
The Commies are VERY desperate because they know their reign of terror is about to end. Two more months to go because the commies can go back underneath the rocks where they came from for another 100 years. America will NEVER be a Communist country and they can't stand it. Just when you see Progressive Commie loons can't sink any lower they find a way to sink even lower. Liberals have NO standards because they were raised without any morals
Tonight ABC News will ask the question, "how did the GOP steer the hurricane away from Tampa, and send it to New Orleans?"
The MSM is dying to use the race card whatever way they can lie and try to apply it to Republicans. This is an effort driven by 0bama and his surrogates in the media. They can't run on 0bama's terrible record so they try to smear the Republican candidates with lies about racism. It has to STOP!
For some strange reason, I was thinking that perhaps ABC wasn't quite as communist as NBC or CBS. Looks like I was mistaken.
Just read on twitter that this prick got FIRED..awwwwwwwww poor baby..dont worry liberal a-hole, the Obama Administration will find you a nice cushy job, and if not, you can always go on welfare
As I am in the office presently, has anyone heard this, and is it questionable or clear?
If America only knew...
The best Obama exposure site on the net:
The Obama File
The United States Library of Congress has selected
TheObamaFile.com for inclusion in its historic collection
of Internet materials
Just a few of the pages:
to call these people biased is no longer accurate. they are full out liberal zealots spewing anything they can to trick people into believing what they do. they care nothing about the news, the truth, or anything else.
On the other hand, David Chalian is happy to be posting crap on the internet while black people drown.
And now he is an unemployed zealot.
Wow. Yahoo already fired his sorry @$$. That's unusually astute for them, but then again, they're not a news network.
Did anyone happen to flip over to ABC last night during the convention? Diane Sawyer was slurring her words - could hardly put a sentence together. I almost felt sorry for her. Is she a drunk, or on meds, or what?
More on the firing:
Here's a video of David Chalian smirking while touting the liberal meme: (the comments are beginning to get interesting!) http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/tropical-storm-isaac-big-challenge-romney-not-only-190530973.html
Here's the true headline:
No questions. It's plain as day. ABC news is trying to distance themselves from this one by IDing David Chalian of Yahoo News as the person who made the comments.
Since he's been fired, he has more than enough time to head to any of the areas affected by Isaac, and volunteer his services.
He has been fired!

The deck shakes when you walk across it. All the top rail boards are warped. Deck boards are seperating at the joints. All deck boards not screwed down. The whole deck needs to be rebuilt.
The pergola was to have bamboo across the top but we got some kind of reed. They cut the facia board and broke it. They left a 2 foot section missing.
They gain your trust, begging for more money to make payroll and buy more supplies. I advanced them money for the pergola material and they came back with the materials and a new spray paint gun and a new nail gun. They don't show up on the job and have a hundred excuses from the truck broke down, trailer came off the truck going down the road, you name it. But they're really on another job.
The BBB gave them an "F" rating, so they changed their name and address. Still out their ripping people off. They've even figured out how to give themselves a 5 Star review online. All I want is for them to come back and fix, repair or replace everything.

Random Heroes, a simple platformer from Ravenous Games, is now available from the app store. Eschewing the frantic speedrun nature of their hardcore League of Evil series, Random Heroes is a more laidback adventure that gives casual gamers the opportunity to get in on the fun.
Random Heroes Pros:
- Fun retro presentation with expansive levels and a variety of enemies and weaponry
- Coins collected from shooting enemies can be used to purchase new weapons and characters
- Controls are simple and effective, especially on smaller screens
- Chiptune soundtrack meshes well with game style
- Achievements can be earned for a variety of tasks
Random Heroes Cons:
- Most weapons are extremely underpowered
- Need to grind to earn the fun stuff
- Not all that challenging and no secondary objectives or tracked statistics to offer replay value
Random Heroes contains 30 levels spread across 3 environments in which your hero is tasked with wiping out enemies and collecting coins to purchase better weapons and quirky costumes. Level designs will be familiar to fans of the LoE games, though they have been expanded somewhat to offer more ground to cover. The hero moves at a slower pace than the LoE characters, and double-jumping is nowhere to be found. You are equipped with a gun to blast the baddies from a distance, though it's very underpowered and requires a ridiculous number of shots to take out even the simplest enemies. We did find that the revolver was more powerful than the pistol, but the shotgun, which was supposed to do a great deal of damage, typically took as many shots as the revolver to dispatch enemies, making it a bit useless and a waste of a significant amount of collected cash. You'll likely need to grind a bit to pick up enough money to get some of the better blasters, but this can be accomplished pretty easily by replaying boss levels. Your health meter typically only allows you to contact enemies a couple of times before dying, though you should be able to track down a health replenishment hidden away in each level. You simply need to reach the door to move on to the next location, and you don't need to kill all enemies to escape. There is no tracking of time, bullets used, or anything like that to compare against other gamers, nor do you earn stars or have the opportunity to find a hidden object in each level to add replay value.
The retro graphics are reminiscent of the first LoE, adding the same charming old-school look that takes us back to a simpler time. There are lots of moving platforms to utilize and spike pits to avoid. There is no wall-jumping or wall-sliding, which was a bit disappointing. Each enemy you kill will die in a burst of coins, some of which may end up in spike pits or other dangerous locations, so timing your kill to avoid spraying loot everywhere is something to consider. You can only fire in the direction that you are facing, and the slow firing speed means that you'll need to exercise some dexterity to maneuver around enemies until you can fill them with enough lead to finish them off. The soundtrack is chiptune, offering an upbeat and satisfying aural backdrop to the game. Controls offer a left and right button for movements, and a jump and fire button. You can fall through platforms, though it requires you to hold the jump button and initiate a jump first, which we found kind of odd. The scheme is the same as in LoE and it offers good responsiveness, though iPad users may find the button placement awkward on the larger screen.
Replay value is fairly low, unless you want to try to unlock all weapons or characters available. Each does have strengths and weaknesses relative to the other options, so it can behoove you to mix and match and find a combination that works best for you. There are achievements, though no leaderboards. The whole experience doesn't last all that long, either. A universal app for $0.99, Random Heroes is an average 3.5-Dimple experience.

A peacefull moment
Shen Leng and Kaoru find the necessary materials in no time. Wei Dan has a big sack of green tea herbs, and the fountains outside provides fresh water. After setting a little fire in the kitchen, the water is set to boil in a big iron pot.
There are white ceramic cups for everyone in the kitchen's cupboard.
Soon, the tea's aroma floods the room, and you help yourselves with a cup.Visit The Link Village of Voda Vosa in the RG for complete game links, and stuff!

Wang laughs at Ban Lu's obvious preference. He thanks Shen and Kaoru as he recieves his own cup, and sips it before speaking. "Good priest, I shall gladly join you for a cup of wine once we this master Tien has spoken with us. In answer to your question, Ziang and I also came from afar. But I suspect our means of travel was different from yours." He shakes his head, as though he still cannot believe it. "We were hunting down some lizard-demons which had terrorized the village I was assigned to, and after slaying them, found some glowing runes. It was they who transported us to the swamp north of here."

"Magical runes and swamp demons eh? Well I thought my trip by sea complete with mutinous crew, pirates and poisoners was exotic. I must say your journey sounds quite unique." He takes another sip of tea and frowns before continuing. "You say you were assigned to that village. By whom? I ask because my own destiny has long been guided by mysterious forces. I was assigned to wait and serve until such time as I was needed. That summons finally came."

Lu Ian Tien's story
The warriors discuss their experiences in front of a cup of tea, the sweet aroma of the fresh infusion fills the room with it's scent. Conversation flows quickly to irrelevant and mundane talk, something common among people whose lives are in danger, or that are sailing through treacherous oceans of their lives.
When Shen was telling a quite hilarious story about the days of his childhood, the old master opens the door, followed by the spirit of Kin Wu.
"I hope there's a cup of that delicious tea for me" He smiles.
As he sits on a small stool, with his tea, Lu Ian Tien clears his throat, before sipping his infusion.
"I think it's time for you to know the truth about me." he says to his three sons. "And most of you would probably find some revelations behind this tale." the old man turns to the others. Another sip of his tea, and the venerable master starts his story
"I'm sure most of you must have quite fresh in your minds the tale of the Sagacious Li, our emperor, who fought against the drought, and ended it after a quite secret military campaign.
If you are thinking: "No, I don't remember, what's this crazy old man speaking about?" Then read thisEmperor Li had one great deal of troubles when he took the crown from his dying father. The empire was at the edge of chaos and anarchy, and worst of all, there was no enemy to blame for it, only the merciless will of some forgotten god.
No one knows exactly how, but after a strange military campaign to the northern wastes, the old homeland of the nomads, the drought was over. The sages predicted 4 more years of drought, but Sagacious Li ended it in just 6 months.
Some vague tales of this campaign were, eventually, told. Bards sing about the great deeds of the Emperor and his three brothers, who ventured into the wild north, and fought monsters and evil creatures, opening they way to the temple of the Unnamed god. This terrible entity, summoned dire creatures, which killed most of the emperor forces. Mastermind Tien, and Glorious To were murdered in the battlefield, fighting to save their Emperor.
Sagacious Li prevailed after the Epic Battle, and destroyed the temple for good. It is told that once the temple was destroyed, the waters came back, the rivers ran and the rain fell. In few months, prosperity and balance were restored, bringing the empire to a new golden age.
But, of course, it is only certain at some points. For example, Mastermind Tien did not perish in that battle, since he is telling you the story now." Master Jien smiles.
"I hide this too many years, I hide it from you, my beloved ones, in a foolish hope to protect you, and everyone in this island. That's why most of the villagers came here in the first time, fleeing from the continent. I had created some sort of shield, that hampered and confused spirits, so they couldn't reach this place. Now that I'm weak, spirits will begin to wander this island too. Luckly, there are still kind and wise spirits, who wish to help, like the most honourable Master Kin Wu.
But the entity that attacked us, and stole part of my energy was not a spirit. I am not sure what exactly is that being." Master Jien frowns. "But I'd seen him before this day, many years ago." the old man takes another sip.
"In the years of the Great Drought, my brother, Emperor Li was a stressed out man. There were too many problems in our father's kingdom, that did not die with him.
We were united as brothers, each one complementing the others. Much like you three; that fills me with joy and proud" he smiles at his students.
"Lu Ian Sin and myself were in charge of maintaining the army ready and well trained. It was there when I met you, inspecting the lines of the Black Veil." he looks at Koryo with narrow eyes.
"My other brother Lu Ian To was the religious head of the imperial house. Kin Wu had told me he met him in his time, and that now, he has met him, as a wondering spirit. That is a great tragedy, since I hoped my brother was still alive.
Our elder brother Lu Ian Li was the emperor, commander of all three of us. He had a tremendous insight, and a vision few men have.
But nothing had prepared us for the great Drought. Cadavers piling outside the city walls... a catastrophe.
After months of research, the House of sages located the source of the drought, in a forgotten temple, in the forsaken north, land of the proud warrior tribesmen. Since the time of our father, that no war had been made in teh north lands, but Lu Ian Li would break that record if he was to stop the suffering of his people.
We four led a small army into the wasteland and to the north, hoping to locate and destroy the source of the drought. We came across many tribes, ones showed us no hostility, even gave us provision, as they understood our success would be their success. But other tribes were not so open minded. They attacked us with no previous warning, and although we overcame their warriors, our forces were decimated in relevant percentages.
After travelling for miles of deserts and mountains, our sage had a vision in his sleep. He led us through treacherous mountain paths, always going up.
We face many perils, since those peaks were plagued with all kind of monsters.
When we reached the top of the mountain, before us was an enormous building, carved from the mountain rock. It's walls were dark, like obsidian, even when the sun was shinning above our heads. We led our men into the building, and start searching of any signs of recent occupation, altars, priests, artefacts, or whatever could be the cause of the drought. What happened next can only be described like horrendous.
We heard the sage's scream; I ran next to him, he was giving his back to me, not moving. A soldier got him before I did, and placed a hand on his shoulder.
The sage turned violently, and his face was gone. His skin was black, like the temple's stone, he had no more eyes, nor mouth... nor soul. This black figure took the young soldier from the forehead, and I witness, shocked, how the black demon sucked his life away, turning him into an empty shell, and how the sage's black face slowly morphed until it was the soldier's face. Lu Ian Sin was behind me, but reacted quicker. With his swords already in his hands, he rushed forward, his blades cutting the air. I joined him, crying out for help.
Our weapons proved useless, and I thought the battle lost; but Lu Ian Sin threw his jians away, and assaulted the blackened sage wit his fists, channelling his chi, as I'd thought you. That was the key. We killed the thing with our bare hands.
In the moment we dropped our foe, we heard more screams. It was a trap, the deadliest trap.
Running through the temple, we saw the real appearance of the creature that took the body of our sage. They were black ooze, crawling on the floor, on the walls... everywhere... They attached to our soldiers, and covered them with their bodies, transformed them in those horrible humanoid black beings.
We led the few remaining soldiers out of the temple, were Li and To were already fighting a group of transformed soldiers. It seemed that the creatures could not leave the temple, if not attached to a person, since they remained inside.
So we fought these blackened soldiers, all of them fine men. I knew each of them, thought them how to fight, how to even lift a weapon." Jien shakes his head.
"But the black ooze gave them strength and bizarre evil powers. They could suck out the life if they touched you, absorbing your strength and appearance. Also the victims of such horrible death, were restless death, controlled by the black figures. They rose to fight us too. Many more came from the temple, even the first slain soldier.
To released the power of heavens over the undead, Sin used his fists and partial prowess to slay the black figures, while Li and I tried to keep the animated corpses away. After an hour of battle, most of our soldiers were dead, rose as zombies, and destroyed by our hands. The bells of battle were tolling for us, or that we thought.
Fighting off one of the black soldiers, Lu Ian Sin didn't saw the other one, sneaking behind. I jumped to help him, but it was too late. The black thing got him from behind, and drained his might, his energy... I glanced furious at the black fiend, now with the face of Lu Ian Sin, and dashed forward, blinded by hate and frustration.
Although the creature had absolved Lu Ian Sin's might, it was no rival for me, much younger back then. I defeated the beast, but at a great cost. While I was fighting the creature, Lu Ian Li and Lu Ian To were overwhelmed by the black creatures... I tried to save them but by the time that I got there, Li was on the ground with three black creatures over him. My folly had took one brother away from me, and jet, it took another one. Frenetically, I tried to kill them before it was too late, but it already was. I killed one, then another, and when my had was about to penetrate the creature's body, it turned and glanced at me, with the face of my elder brother, of my emperor. I froze for a moment, confused, mentally assaulted by this life stealer, this creature of void. To saved me in that time, calling upon the powers of the gods to protect me from the creature's death grasp.
I got to my last brother's side, there were four black figures remaining. the one who absorbed Li, two wearing the uniforms of the soldiers, and the one that absorbed Sin, which seemed to be trying to stand, with a broken neck.
In that moment I took the only decision that I do not regret now. We flee the doomed place... Each of us took a different path, we agree to stay hidden, and to prepare and train the people of Dragon's palm, to raise against
the creatures that had taken the lives of our brothers, and that now rule the empire.
I came here to Singing Spring, and started the martial arts school; you came a few months after that, and I took you in.
When the spirits started wondering the land, I created the shield and lock the spirits within Singing Spring, to the Spirit's Forest. You where three years old by that time, and it was then that Kaoru was brought to the island by the assassin who I defeated.
It was then when I saw in you the providence of a victory to come. I saw the a chance to enlighten you into the correct path, to train you until you were stronger than me, wiser than me in my times of youth... I think that this is one of the few things that I'd been successful at.
The last battle was... not so bad. Using the confusin, one of the black figured, at the command of a group of bkacl Veil assassins attacked the school, taking the lives of many of my strongest students. I thought I could leave you in the road, and fight the black figure alone, thinking all this time, and all the training I'd overcome made me a stronger man. I was right, but the black creature was stronger too. It had absorbed many lives.
I played my cards the best I could. As I avoided the creature, I slew the assassins one by one, until it was he and I alone.
The battle was short, I tried to kill him as I did with many of his kin back in the temple, but this one was smarter, he avoided my hands, and used some .. evil variant of Kaoru's Chi Kun. He stroke me with one of those bolts of energy, and as I felt to the ground, he moved swftly next to me, and started to drain my life away. I you had not came the moment you did, I'd not be here speaking."
Jien shakes his head, and goes silent for a few seconds.
"After many years, I had time to think, and came to the "conclusion that the drought was caused by whoever controls these creatures, if there's someone behind them; and also planted the seeds to fool our sages to lead us to the temple, that way taking our identities. I can't think of a reason, or what plans do these creatures have for the empire, but I'm sure that whatever they are, they're are not good at all." He adds before sipping his tea again, apparently finishing his tale.

Taking a final sip of his tea, Ban Lu comments, "Most fascinating indeed. I commend you on your noble struggle and sacrifice on behalf of the Empire. Your great service must not go unremembered." He sighs, "But now we must consider the future. What would you have of us. I will gladly serve if there is some way to defeat these implacable foes I would take it."

Richie Havens, Legendary Folk Singer, Dead at 72
Richie Havens, the folk singer who famously opened the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, has died at the age of 72.
Richie Havens, the folk singer who famously opened the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, has died at the age of 72.
Van Halen finally returned to the stage over the weekend (April 20) at the Stone Music Festival in Sydney, Australia and look who showed up for the festivities – Joe Perry and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Okay, in all fairness, Aerosmith was on the bill as well, but it still made for some great photo ops behind the scenes.
When you've written enough great songs to warrant a prestigious ASCAP Founders Award for composing, you might expect them all to run together. Yet, for Aerosmith, the moment of inspiration for 'Walk This Way' continues to resonate.
Freed from the confines of Creedence Clearwater Revival, which had become a stifling presence in the final years, John Fogerty took the opportunity of his debut solo album to revisit, pay tribute to and replicate the country music he occasionally played with his old band. But instead of going about it the traditional country-music way – with a bunch of musicians sitting together in a room and performing the music live as the tapes roll – Fogerty played every single instrument on 'The Blue Ridge Rangers' himself.
Aerosmith, Van Halen and Billy Joel are the headliners for this weekend's Stone Music Festival in Sydney, Aus. During yesterday's press conference to kick off the weekend, media and fans learned that there's a mutual respect and admiration amongst the legendary rockers. "I tried to do the thing in 'Jump' but I split my pants," Joel said. "I couldn't do the move."
Black Sabbath have finally unveiled 'God is Dead?,' the first song from their long-awaited reunion.
There's no question that Metallica have their plate full, but guitarist Kirk Hammett says the band still hopes to have their next album out by 2014 -- yet he won't make any guarantees. In a new interview, Hammett gave an update on Metallica's next album, as well as their other projects.
The Rolling Stones have been celebrating their 50th anniversary with a slew of activity, including the recent documentary 'Crossfire Hurricane.'

The Political Origins of Inequality
Why a More Equal World Is Better for Us AllInequality is the defining issue of our time. But it is not just a problem for the rich world. It is the global 1% that now owns fully half the world's wealth—the true measure of our age of inequality. In this historical tour de force, Simon Reid-Henry rewrites the usual story of globalization and development as a story of the management of inequality. Reaching back to the eighteenth century and

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Overnight Dexamethasone Suppression Test
The overnight dexamethasone suppression test involves taking a dose of a corticosteroid medicine called dexamethasone to see how it affects the level of a hormone called cortisol in the blood. This test screens for Cushing's syndrome, a condition in which excess amounts of cortisol are being produced by the adrenal glands. Test results are usually available in a few days.
An abnormal test result may mean that further testing is needed to identify Cushing's syndrome. Likewise, a normal test result means that you do not have Cushing's syndrome. Cushing's syndrome can be hard to diagnose, so an endocrinologist should be consulted if test results are uncertain or if the test results do not help explain your symptoms.
The normal values listed here-called a reference range-are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
Cortisol level is less than 5 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL) or less than 138 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L).
High values
High cortisol levels may be caused by:
- Cushing's syndrome.
- Other health problems, such as a heart attack or heart failure, fever, poor diet, an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), depression, anorexia nervosa, uncontrolled diabetes, or alcoholism.
- Cancers that make ACTH, such as lung cancer.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Pregnancy or extreme obesity.
- Severe weight loss, dehydration, or acute alcohol withdrawal.
- Severe injury.
- Diabetes.
- You take medicines, such as barbiturates, phenytoin (Dilantin), birth control pills, aspirin, morphine, methadone, lithium, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), spironolactone (Aldactone), or diuretics.
Some people may quickly process (metabolize) the dose of dexamethasone. In these people, cortisol levels will not drop unless a higher dose of the medicine is given.

1) The travel agent booked the international portion of the trip, but did not book the domestic portion (in spite of my request). Subsequently, the fair increased costing me well over $200.
2) When the domestic portion was booked, it was booked returning to the wrong city -- LA, while our international flight departed from SF. The travel agent offered to buy us an addition leg on a discount airline. I had to call United and beg to get the ticket resolved myself.
3) I converted money ahead of time at AMEX. Imagine my surprise when I tried to spend the money in Indonesia, and they told me the money I had was Thai. When I returned, and took the money back to AMEX, they converted it for me at then prevailing rates, plus a fee -- a loss of $50. The refund was supposed to come, but never did.
4) When we arrived in Bali, the tour guide was nowhere to be found. I called the number given, and they had not heard of reservation. After two hours, I convinced them to pick us up and take us to our hotel. It took 24 hrs to get this resolved.

There has been quite a trade between Everton and Bham o ver the years pickering latchford etc. My dad , born in Everton 1912 grew up with Dixie Dean and co and moved down to Bham in the Depression of the 30 s looking for work. He always told me he would buy me a bike when Bham won the league or the cup. He died 30 years ago, still no bike. I think Bham will bounce back though if they can get proper commited financial backing.
signing players the quality of carsley and mcfadden I think will play a huge part in Brum getting promoted again.Carsley may have been 35, I think I am right in saying that but in my view he played just as well last season as he had done for the last 4or 5. So if the quality is still there I think we should have hung onto him, given him 2yr contract, what does it matter if he's still producing the goods.And Jimmy Mac, I think him and moyes just didn't agree and it is the mgr's perogative to get rid of players he doesn't want.After all, I strongly believe Moyes is the main man behind our resurgence in the last 5 or 6 yrs and behind Lee's form, cos he was a Walter Smith signing remember.In fact the only thing missing from Carsley's game the last 2 yrs has been a screamer from 20yrds in the Derby!!And no mate, we have a lot of diamonds at Everton but I sincerely hope they are all staying put!
