Is that a Savage or a Sedaris?

It is enough to cross the Park San Martin, centenary green space of 307 hectares of surface, to fall in love with the city. Not in vain the main hotels in capital Mendoza emphasize in their promotions their proximity with this park. True oasis of verdure, the Park San Martin shelters in its interior a breeding ground, a rosedal, a lake and up to one of the oldest museums of the interior of Argentina, with more than 40000 archaeological and paleontological pieces. Separate chapter deserves, within the same park, the Hill of the Gloria, crowned by the monument to the Army of the $andes. The Hill of the Gloria gives to those who accedes to their top a view of the city, framed by the $andes, able to move until the tears.

These loans are responsible on mutual agreement of the borrower and the lender upon certain terms. A document, usually a loan contract is signed and the money is issued. These loans are of so known as signature loans. Unsecured loans are typically for one time expenses like a medical bill payment or paying off high interest rate debts with lower interest rate funds. This article shall outline the pros and cons of having to unsecured loan.
The IOU is the easiest and simplest way of obtaining of unsecured loan. Selim Bassoul addresses the importance of the matter here. With the IOU the borrower borrows finances from a friend, acquaintance or family member. You may want to visit Bradley Tusk to increase your knowledge. The lender in particular must be very carefully while Entering into search financing practices. If the terms and conditions fail family and personal relationships can be ruined. Credit cards are the most popular form of unsecured loans which has led to to the increase of credit card users. Whilst using a credit card, the credit card company pays the merchant the cost for your purchase and you are obligated to pay back the amount to the card company as per the terms and conditions signed by you while taking the card. Unsecured consumer loans are covered under the FDCPA and according to FDCPA collectors and recovery agents can not make farming and threaten you. Some banks still offer signature or unsecured loans but with a personal line of credit. The amount and the interest rate are totally dependent on your credit worthiness.

Numerous excursions are offered in Majorca – there are particular targets for relaxing day trips here enough. It is worthwhile to borrow to buy a car to the targets quickly and easily to reach. The CAP Formentor, for example, offers a nice photo opportunity and also fantastic views. You reach the headland only through a very winding road on which one must reckon with a high volume of traffic quite. It has views over the northern part of the island of Majorca from the Torre del Verger. This Watchtower built in 1579, is located on a coastal road and can be climbed via a narrow ladder. Manacor is a popular destination for a day trip in the East of the island. This is the second largest city of Mallorca, which is particularly suitable for an extended shopping trip. Characteristic are the fine art Pearl factories here. Valldemossa is a particularly charming mountain village in the West of Mallorca. Here is located the famous Carthusian monastery and the numerous narrow houses with blooming gardens are absolutely recommendable. The "cultural capital of the North" is Pollenca. Above all culturally interested tourists their money come in this city, because in the city you can countless museums and galleries visit. Also really something is always happening in Pollenca – a lack of events there is no shortage here indeed.]]>

Man convicted in North East home invasion
James Cook, in treatment for throat cancer and confined to a wheelchair, heard what sounded like an animal in his basement late on Sept. 26.
Then came the knock at the door of his home on a rural road near North East.
Cook thought it was his wife. But when he opened the door, Cook said, he encountered a gun-wielding man draped in a sheet with holes cut out for his eyes.
Cook told state police that night who committed the home-invasion robbery. He said he recognized the man's eyes and voice as those of Timothy Nadolny, who had worked for him in the vineyards and who, for a time, had lived in Cook's home.
Cook could not tell a jury this story, however. When the case reached trial in Erie County Court on Wednesday, he was no longer able to speak. His voice box had been removed as part of his medical treatment, Assistant District Attorney Roger Bauer explained to jurors.
In an unusual move, Bauer, with the permission of Judge Shad Connelly, used an earlier transcript of Cook's testimony to share his story with jurors.
That testimony, combined with strong forensic evidence -- Nadolny's fingerprints at the crime scene -- led to Nadolny's conviction.
The jury deliberated less than an hour Thursday before finding Nadolny, 29, of North East, guilty of charges of robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, unlawful restraint and simple assault. The jury acquitted him on one count of theft, relating to two guns and prescription pain medicine that had been stolen, but not found in Nadolny's possession.
Nadolny, represented by Assistant Public Defenders Emily Antolik and Maria Krupicz, had argued that his prints were in the home because he had lived there.
Cook listened as the transcript of his preliminary hearing testimony was read for jurors Wednesday.
In the Feb. 26 hearing, Cook testified that the masked man at his door pushed a handgun into his neck and demanded the keys for a basement gun room. Cook said the intruder left after Cook's wife arrived and Cook yelled to her to call police.
When police arrived, they found a broken garage window and handprints on another window. Inside the home, in a basement bedroom that shared a wall with the locked gun room, it appeared someone had kicked a hole in the drywall and tried to pry a hole into the room where the guns were stored.
The prosecution maintained that Nadolny only came to the front door looking for a key to the gun room because his attempt to sneak in through the basement and break through the gun room wall failed.
Nadolny's prints, police said, were found on one of the windows and on the drywall that had been ripped from the gun room's exterior wall.

Candles in jars are a wonderful source of soft light. This is a guide with jar candle tips and tricks.
I hate to waste and I love to burn scented jar candles. The candles say to only burn the wick down to a certain point, then dispose of the candle. Since these candles are not cheap, I don't want to throw away that much wax, so I ignored the directions and burned the candle all the way to the bottom.
Until the day I almost burned my house down. The jar was so hot that the glass broke, and the burning wax began to burn my coffee table. But I still don't want to throw away that much wax.
So here's a tip that I came up with. When the candle begins to get low, put the candle in an oven safe baking pan that has about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom. If the candle should break, the glass and wax will be contained within the baker and the water would immediately extinguish whatever fire may still be burning.
As a side note, if you would rather follow the directions, but still hate the thought of throwing that much wax away, take a knife and gently break up the remaining wax into small bits. Take some sort of mesh, like tulle, place the wax bits on top of the mesh and tie it up so that it looks like those wedding favors that are so popular. Or put them in closets, drawers, cabinets, etc for a lovely scent when you open the doors/drawers. Or save them to use for a wedding or baby shower or even a birthday.
By aprilcotton from Aurora, CO
I really love how scented candles add to the atmosphere of a home. A scent softly wafting through my home just seems to make it seem more warm and cozy and I change the scents according to what season it is.
Being out of work for over a year, I cannot afford to buy my favorite highly scented candles right now. I was lamenting this on the phone to a friend when she shared her genius solution and I've been using it ever since.
When your candle burns down to the point it's no longer safe to burn or the wick is gone, simply turn on your coffee pot's warmer plate and set the candle on it. When the wax warms up, it produces the same amount of scent as when the candle is burning. A coffee mug warmer does the trick just as well.
I have noticed that my candles actually last even longer using this method, plus I don't have to worry about checking my burning candles for safety, or leaving the room with a candle burning.

This is a guide about refurbishing old candles. Old well loved or stored candles may need a bit of a face lift before their next appearance.
I have seen tea lights which have a thin tartan pattern material on the top (like thin paper). Has anyone come across these as I would like to do the same with my tea light candles?
You might want to use the battery powered one just using stretchy fabric and a small hole in the center. This might be flammable and who needs that?
Candles in glass jars give much better light when power goes out and are safer to use. Buy on sale and keep in designated place, so you are not searching in an emergency.
I placed a half used scented candle in a jar on my stove for show. That evening when I was making dinner and using the oven, I had forgotten to take the candle from the stove. Oh, the smell was wonderful!
Does anyone have any good ideas on how to remove soot from the inside of candle jars?
Sherry from Silverdale WA
The rubbing alcohol worked great!
Used dryer sheets work like a charm!
Baby wipes wipe it off easily.
Rubbing alcohol on a paper towel will remove the black soot from a jar candle.
Keeping large pillar decorative candles forever. When I buy a decorative pillar candle, I burn for a little bit until I can fit a tealight candle inside.
I bought a jar candle made by Village Candles. The fragrance I bought is called pina colada. It smells great! Has anybody ever bought Village Candles and what fragrance do you like? I would like to get some ideas for some other fragrances, before I shell out more money for a fragrance I may not like, even though every one has different taste.
P.J. from Delaware
We can buy Village Candles in South Jersey.
My absolute Favorite Village Candle Scent is called Natural Cotton. It makes my whole house smell soooo wonderful. I buy that one fragrance in bulk so I never run out. It has sort of like a fresh smell, like soap or clean laundry or something.
I can buy village candles at my local grocery store aka price chopper. I use to love Yankee candles. Then I tried Diamond candles. The scents are very fragrant but not strong to give you a headache. They burn evenly. They last a long time, are the size of a large Yankee candle but price of a medium and you get a ring valued at $10-10,000 in a gold foil wrapped inside a plastic bag. I have gotten 2 candles and bought few for gifts.
To keep a jar candle fresh when the lid is missing simply turn the (unlit) jar upside down after wax hardens.
Just bought a really nice candle and before I could get in the house with it (in the sack) I dropped it and the whole side and corner of the jar shattered. Can anyone please suggest the best way to save my candle without ruining it. Please help.
I burn lots of scented candles. When they get too low to burn, I use them on a candle warmer. Instead of buying a candle warmer for $10, I bought 3 coffee cup warmers at the local thrift store for 99 cents each. One has an automatic shut-off so I don't have to remember to turn it off.
By Jonna Marsh
Not a good idea! Coffee warmers are a fire hazard when used with any candle wax. These coffee warmers are not regulated to maintain a low consistent temperature needed to melt candle wax. If wax and fragrance reach a high temperature, you will have a fire from the heat. Fragrance has low flash temperatures. This is why they make candle warmers specifically for candles. The heat is regulated and much safer. DO NOT use coffee warmers for any wax products, if you do, you are liable for a fire. .99 cents isn't worth the risk. (02/11/2006)
By Candle Smarts
You can buy a candle warmer at wal-mart. They cost about $5.00. They are made to warm candle wax (02/11/2006)
By rose204
You can get more use out of your decorative candles, or out of those candles poured right into their forms, by inserting votive candles in the well formed by the burning wax around the wick. I still use star-shaped candles set in terra cotta we used for a 2000 celebration that way.

The Path To Avalon Dive into the Mediterranean Sea and swim down. You're wearing an oxygen
tank so you don't have to worry about surfacing for air. Dispense the
four sharks on your way to the sea bed. The most efficient weapon to
use is the spear gun, although for some mindless fun you can
hurl a grenade in their direction. In this part of the level, the
jellyfish are lighting the places of interest (i.e. the way to go). Be
careful and don't get too close of them, as they will cause you some
damage. Once you've
reached the sea bed, turn to face the biggest structure, called the
Baldr Temple and locate the entrance on the ground, but leave it alone
for the moment. Now is a good time to go Treasure hunting. See the box
below for some of these locations on your way to the Temple.
Face the temple, turn right and locate a small building half buried in
the sand. Swim towards it and find the entrance hidden by seaweed.
Follow the hallway to the right and find a handle on a small pedestal.
Grab it and find your way out of the building. You can locate Treasure 5 before going back to the Temple, swim above the cluster of rocks on the
left and find a treasure in the corner. Get back to the pavement and head inside the temple until you
reach a dead-end. Three ornate circles are carved into the wall. First
of all, note that each one of them is made of three carvings: two
closed eyes, and one opened one. Place your handle into one of the
circles, and collect the second handle on the floor. Slide it into the
last circle. Now, you are facing your first puzzle of the game: the
three opened eyes need to converge into the ornate circle of the
middle. Pull one handle after the other to achieve this, triggering an
ancient mechanism that will open the door.
Before passing the gate, swim up in this cave into a
narrow tunnel leading to the top of the temple. Halfway through it,
pick up Treasure 6 on some rocks. Swim down to the gate. Swim along the tunnel, turn
right, then left, then right again : you
will reach what seems to be a dead end again, but when you inch closer,
a giant tentacle retreats and clears the way. Before going forward,
turn back and swim towards the last
corner of the tunnel. On the left, pick up a treasure under a jellyfish
pictured below.
Swim forward to access a vertical pit and head to the surface. Swim to
the small outcrop above the water, then jump up onto the ground. Break
a gray vase in the right corner of this room to
find Treasure 8.
Vault on the rock on your left and pull up to step on the higher one.
Get down to the other side and jump into the water. Swim down
in the pool and locate Treasure
9 on the
ground, behind the ascent.
Go up the ascent on the left to reach the ground. Climb up the block on
the left and collect a health pack on the ground. Jump up to grab the
next ledge, then jump again to catch the upper one and pull up. Move to
the right and perform a jump to the right to grab the ledge around the
corner. Shimmy right until you're back to an horizontal pole. Jump and
swing around the pole, then jump again to
reach the second one and land on a small outcrop. Break a gray vase in
the corner to collect Treasure
10. Jump on the block on your left, then jump up again to grab the ledge
above. Shimmy to the right, along the wall and around the next pillar.
Jump up, grab the upper ledge and shimmy to the right again. At the
end, look behind and locate an horizontal pole. You can either swing
around it or pull up and step on it. Either way, jump forward to reach
the next ledge, shimmy right and turn around the corner. Drop down twice and carefully land on the ground. Head right to a
switch on a pedestal. When you pull it, nothing happens : you will see
sparks in the two recesses but the mechanism is stuck as both the fires
aren't lit. Make a mental note of the two pressure plates in front of the switch.
You'll have to lower them at the same time to be able to light the
fires. Collect a small rock on the floor and place it on the left
plate. Repeat the operation to keep the plate down.
On the other side, locate the golden ring decorating the snake statue.
Grapple it and pull down the statue to lower the second
plate. Now, get on the pedestal and pull the switch: the door opens
starting a cut-scene. Niflheim Follow the hallway and turn right. Climb the block, step
on the upper block and jump forward. From this rock, turn to your left
and locate a small
alcove with three vases. Break the gray jar and collect Treasure 11. Get
back on the previous rock.
Hop down to the ground, ascend the stairs and crawl under
the structure. Carefully drop down in the pit and locate a small
entrance in the wall. Follow this tunnel
until you reach another room. Drop down to the ground, then climb up
onto the block on the right. Perform a jump on the left and stand on
the platform to pick up the health pack. Grab the edge of the stairs
and pull up.
Look to the right and locate a small avse on the ground.
Break it and pick up Treasure
12. Go up the stairs. In the left corner, you can collect
health pack. Turn right and break a jar on the ground to find Treasure 13. Head to
the big entrance in front of you to start a cut-scene. Kraken Encounter The monster is blocking the door opening to the rest of
the temple so you need to get rid of it. Unfortunately, bullets or
spears won't kill it. From the entrance, turn right and grab the small edge on the wall.
Shimmy right then perform a jump to the right to grab the next one.
Repeat the operation twice then drop down into the
hallway. Follow the corridor but do not slide down the slope. Instead,
grab a small ledge on the left, shimmy to the right and perform a jump
to the right to reach the next ledge. Repeat the operation until you
reach a doorway.
You are now on a platform above the kraken. Looking to your right,
you'll see that one of its tentacles is coiled around a pillar. Locate
the three vertical poles in front of you and jump forward to grab the
first one. Climb it, turn around a bit so you'll be turning your back
to the second pole. Make sure you're in the right alignment : if you
fail this jump, you will fall in the pool at the bottom of this area.
Jump from the pole to grab the next one. Climb up, turn around and jump
again to reach the third pole. Repeat the operation to reach the ledge
on the pillar. Do not worry about the tentacle for now.
Notice the platform on the right and the horizontal pole behind it.
Shimmy as far as you can to the right and pull up. This is your first
adrenaline moment : you're still controlling Lara but time is slowing
down. Jump to grab the horizontal pole before the platform collapses. You can either stand on the pole or swing around it. Either way, jump
to reach the right bridge. Head right and enter the two
story room. You will see a switch that seems trapped by a
tentacle. Hang from the edge on the left and shimmy to the
right. At
the end, jump to grab the horizontal pole and swing around it. Then
jump and slide down the slope until you reach the ground. On your left, locate a golden ring. Use you grapple to pull it (as
shown in the screenshot below): this causes the pillar to collapse and
kraken retracts its tentacle.
Exit the room by the tunnel on the left and follow it
until a stairway. Go down the stairs and immediately turn left to
avoid a kraken's tentacle. Vault on the blocks on the left and break a
gray vase to find Treasure
14. Make your way back to the stairs and go
up.Turn left at the next intersection. Destroy a jar on the
ground and pick up Treasure 15.
Get back to the two story room with the
switch. Make your way back to the switch by climbing the blocks, sliding the
slope and swinging around the horizontal pole. Pull down the switch :
the right bridge moves away from the golden disk. Go back to the kraken room. You have to reach the left
bridge. Turn around the head of the statue and locate a small ledge on
the wall. Jump to grab it, then jump up twice. Shimmy to the left until
the end and drop down twice to grab the lower ledge (as shown here).
Either drop down or jump left to reach the platform with the
switch. You can try to pull it, but you'll see that the golden
platform is still stuck because of the second bridge.
Head behind the chain, between the wall and the pillar
supporting the upper platform above the switch. Perform a wall jump to
climb up the space between them. In the small room, break a vase on the
ground to collect
Treasure 16.
Locate the ledge running along the wall on your left and jump to reach
it. Shimmy to the left, turn around the corner and jump backwards to
reach the arm of the statue. Make your way to the
bridge and enter the small room. The switch is stuck here
as well. If you look behind the tentacle, you will see a cog with a
golden ring on the wall. Throw your grapple to catch it and pull the
cog. Activate the switch : the kraken
retracts its tentacle and the left bridge is moving away from the
golden platform.
Locate the pillar in front of the switch and jump to
perch on it. Jump forward on the next platform, then make your way down
to the ground via the ledges. Exit the room and follow the tunnel. At
the intersection, turn right and follow a dark corridor with a few
vases at the end. Break the gray vase to find Treasure 17. Make your way back to the central switch above the kraken and pull it
down : this will raise the platform and the camera will show you two
fragmentary rings in the chains holding it. Shoot one ring (as shown
here) then the other to release the golden platform. In a next short
cut-scene, the platform smashes the kraken, killing it
and freeing the door as well.
Locate a golden ring on the left of the platform, catch it will the
grapple and rope down to the ground. Pull the switch to open the door
then follow the hallway. Dive into the pool and swim to the left. Pick
up Treasure 18 underwater. Swim to the right and locate a stairway leading to a
platform. Collect Treasure 19 under the surface.
Head through the gate, go up the stairs and head forward
until you reach a dark pit. Climb the wall on your left, then head
right until you reach the other side. Follow the corridor and
go up the stairs until you reach the second
pit. You have to traverse the beam but be careful: if Lara loses her
balance, you have to stop moving until she regains it. Head forward and
crawl under the collapsed blocks. Enter the next room and head towards
the closed gate to play a cut-scene. The Norse Connection Look left and right and locate the two pressure plates on
the ground. Then head right, walk towards the vertical pole and climb
on it. Jump to reach the small entrance in the wall and carefully drop
down in the next room. First, pick up the health pack near the opposite
wall. Grab a small rock and step on the pressure plate, facing the
door. Launch the rock through the doorway (using the Grenade button).
Repeat the operation with the second small rock.
Step on the pressure plate, head forward and roll to get out of the
room before the door shuts down. Stack the two small rocks on a
pressure plate then face the gate and locate the golden ring. Use your
grapple to catch it and move to step on the other pressure plate. You
will notice the grapple line can wrap around obstacles and the hook
won't detach. When the two
pressure plates are down, the gate is unlocked. Use your grapple to
pull the ring and make the gate fall. Enter the room. The next cut scene shows Lara entering the gauntlet room. While the
gauntlet turns into dust when Lara touches it, a small artifact casting
blue light remains. As Lara takes it and places it on her left hand,
the stone projects a halo with the shape of a gauntlet around it. While
she understands the connection between this place and the legend of
Thor, Lara still doesn't see why her father thought that this
place was related to Avalon. Unfortunately, she doesn't have
time to investigate : a squad of mercenaries are standing behind,
aiming at her. At the command of their leader, Lara puts her hands on
her head and turns around. Before she even understands that neither
weapons nor bribery will help, she's is knocked out. When she recovers,
she realizes that she doesn't have the artifact nor ammo for
her guns. Before blowing up the way out, the last mercenary tells her
that Amanda Evert sends her regards. Approach Thor's statue and look to the left to locate a
few vases. Break them and pick up Treasure 20. Head out of the gauntlet room to the room
with the
pressure plates. Enter the room on the right. Explore the narrow alcove
on the left and break a jar to
Treasure 21.
Vault on the dark rock fallen on the ground. Climb up and
follow the tunnel until you reach a room with vertical poles. Locate a
very discrete vase near the entrance and break
it to pick up Treasure 22.
Traverse the next room and locate some vases in the left
corner. One of them contains Treasure 23.
Grab the first pole on the right and climb up. Then jump to reach the
broken one hanging from the ceiling. Climb it as high as you can and
jump to reach the platform. Head left and
locate the top of a pole in front of you. Jump forward to perch on it
then jump again to grab the vertical pole hanging from the ceiling.
Jump onto the broken platform. Locate the broken pole on your right and jump to grab that one. Climb
up, then carefully jump to perch on the top of the pole behind. Jump
forward to reach the last pole and finally jump to
the tunnel. Follow the corridor and crawl under the
collapsed rocks.
As you're crawling under the last rock, turn left and
break a gray jar to get
Treasure 24 inside.When you enter the kraken room, a short cut
scene will show you the
mercenary running away. On the platform, head to the right and locate a
golden ring on the
ceiling. Use your grapple to catch it. Swing and jump to reach the
other side. Destroy a jar on the right of this platform to
find Treasure 25.
Head left and pick up a health pack along the wall. Vault on the lower
block and grab the small ledge. Shimmy to the left and jump up then
pull up to stand on the upper platform. Head forward, jump to grab the
horizontal pole and swing around it. Jump to the next platform, head
right and slide down the slope. Hang from this edge and shimmy to the
right end. Jump to
the right twice to reach a small platform on the other side. Collect Treasure 26 inside a
gray vase.
Enter a dark tunnel under the slope and follow it. On the right, locate
a small ledge and grab it, then move right until you reach the ground.
Follow to the hallway and go back to where you came from at the
beginning of the level : follow the corridor, go down the stairs until
you reach a small pit. Do not drop down : look left and locate a small
ledge on the wall. Grab it and jump up to reach the upper one. Shimmy
to the right, jump to the right to pass the crevice and shimmy right
some more. At the end, drop down twice to
grab the lower ledge. Shimmy right, turn around the corners and crawl
under the collapsed structure.
Go down the stairs and turn around the corner. Vault on the rock on the
left, climb up to the upper one and jump forward. Carefully drop down
from the platform and follow the hallway back to the room with the fire
mechanism. Jump into the water and step on the small
outcrop. Go through the doorway, climb up the rocks and pass a second
doorway. Dive into the water and find your way back outside the temple
(remember that the jellyfish are showing the way). Once
you're out of the temple, swim up to the surface and get back
to Lara's yacht.
God of Thunder Jump from the deck the grab the chain of the anchor and
climb up. Jump up to gab the metallic outcrop and pull
up. Then jump up to grab the edge of the hull and pull up to
reach the
upper deck. Collect a health pack on the ground. Go down the stairs and
kill three mercenaries on the deck. From the stairs, proceed forward
and walk between the first two containers on the left. You have to
perform a wall jump here. To perform this, jump towards the container
and immediately press Jump when you hit it. Keep repeating this to
climb up to the space between the containers. Once you're up, look behind to the center of the boat :
there's a mercenary with a shotgun standing near the
balustrade. Unfortunately, he's on your way, but
you'll have to get closer to be able to fight him. Jump
forward to the upper blue container then jump down on the lower one.
The mercenary can't reach you from
there. The easiest way to get rid of him is to throw him a sticky
grenade. When you're ready, jump forward to the blue
container, pull up, aim at the mercenary and throw the grenade then
jump back on the lower container and watch the fireworks.
Make your way to the second deck and pick up a health pack where the
last mercenary was standing. Head left. There are two
mercenaries standing in this passage. You can either burst in and kill
them or just throw a grenade. Head forward and kill another mercenary
near the helipad. There are three more mercenaries patrolling around
this helipad, so take care of them as well as one mercenary in the
right passage. Pick up a health pack near the stairs and go down to the
second helipad. Get rid of two mercenaries, pick up
another health pack near the crates between the two helicopters then
follow the stairs to reach the lower deck and head to the stern of the
boat. Four mercenaries are guarding the doorway so be careful
and do not burst in. Instead, take them one by one, using the sticky
grenades and the protection of the wooden crates (beware that the
bullets will destroy the crates after a while, so you have to be
quick). Pick up a health pack near the doorway. Enter the
building and get rid of one mercenary standing behind the first crates.
Follow the corridor to the stairway, go down and enter the next
room. Kill two mercenaries guarding the place and follow the
stairway to have a short cut-scene play. The boat is now damaged and a siren is ringing out. Head
forward, go down the steps and follow the corridor. Turn left and go up
the steps, and watch the cut-scene. Realm of the Dead During this part of the level, you have to find the way
out before the boat sinks. You do not have to rush though, as the boat
won't sink while you are still inside. Avoid the flames and
the steam springing from the pipes. Go through the only opened doorway
and follow the corridor. Head left, then right, follow the
corridor and go up the stairs. The door will automatically open.
Enter the steamy corridor and head forward. The ground is
shaking and slowly turning upside down. Turn left, pass the corner and
carefully walk forward : crates and trunks are falling from the
shelves. At the end of the corridor, a few crates are on fire. Run
forward and follow the hallway. You'll end in an ascending
corridor. Locate the few barrels up ahead and start ascending. Get
ready for the next adrenaline moment : the barrels fall down. Run or
sprint to the right passage to avoid them.
The ground shakes and turns again. Follow the passage until what seems
to be a dead-end. Be careful with the metallic plates falling from the
left. Walk to the left wall and jump up to start climbing the valves.
Head right, climb up the ladder and move to the right. Climb up then
jump up to grab the upper valves. Head left
and climb up the ladder again. Be careful with the metallic boxes
falling from the ceiling. Move to the left, climb up and jump up to
reach the upper metallic ledge. Shimmy left and pull up.
Follow the corridor until the next ladder. Climb up and
jump up to grab the valves. Once you're at the top, move left
to reach the metallic ledge and shimmy left. Locate the
metallic beam under Lara and drop down on it. Traverse the beam. At the
end, jump up to grab the edge of the wall and jump up again to reach
the upper part. Pull up and head to the doors to watch the end-level
cut-scene.GO TO: LEVEL 3: COASTAL THAILAND

Watch The World's Smallest Car Drive Into A Van, Turn Around, Drive Out
The Peel P50 is the world's smallest production car, so fitting in Ford Transit Van's cavernous cargo bay is easy money. But turning all the way around in there? That's impressive, even if it takes a whole lot of working the wheel.

All, I've just purchased a K31 and need some data. Thus far, I know I can use .284 brass and resize it for the rifle. But, could anyone tell me what bullet diameter to purchase? I know it is extremely close to .308 but not sure if .308 bullets will do the trick. Any info. on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hernandez Camp Gets Surveillance Video
ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) ? Prosecutors have provided Aaron Hernandez's defense team with the surveillance video from a Boston nightclub where the former New England Patriot and his friend allegedly had a dispute a few days before the man's slaying.
Defense attorney James Sultan confirmed that he received a "substantial amount" of material and that the legal team would immediately begin combing through it as they seek to clear Hernandez's name.
Neither side described exactly what is on the video.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the death of 27-year old Odin Lloyd.

The best site should be protected with the best security. So let's take a look at some steps you can take from the very beginning to ensure that you have complete control over who can access and change your content. We won't go into how to configure user roles within Drupal in this video. We will do that in another video. But a little bit of planning now will save you a lot of meddling about when that time comes and could prevent some disastrous security errors. When you run a Drupal site, you will be concerned with security on three levels. First, the server, which contains all the core programs that run Drupal, any additional programs you have added, such as modules and any custom programming that you created. Server security is especially important because some configuration files store passwords in plain text. If your server security is bad, someone might be able to break in and look at those passwords without you ever knowing that it happened. MySQL contains virtually all of the content of your site. If your MySQL security is improperly set, an attacker could change the site's content, including matters relating to your user's identities. With full access to the MySQL database, the attacker can also change user passwords effectively giving them full access while removing yours.
Finally, we have Drupal security, flaws in which can cause very similar effects to flaws in MySQL security because really, Drupal is essentially just a nice user interface for the database and the web server. So while it would take a MySQL expert to cause particular vandalism through MySQL security flaws, even a novice attacker with full Drupal access could change content and passwords easily and efficiently. So let's take a look at Drupal security. In short, here's what you need to know.
As it's installed by default, Drupal security is user based, that is, you categorize users as being members of a group and set limits on what members of that group can do. Among the users, there is one super user. That's the administrator that you created when you first set up Drupal. That one has the ID of 1, if you go into the MySQL database. The second part of Drupal security is the two groups that are automatically built in, one is called Anonymous, the other one is called Authenticated.
Authenticated users are all those who have signed up for your site, while Anonymous users are those who just happened to be browsing it without signing in. Finally, Drupal security allows you add more groups as you need them and you probably will do that if you have a collaborative site. So for example, you may have one group that's Editors and one group that's Writers and another group that's Graphic Designers each one of which can only affect their particular area. There are other ways to controlled user access. Most important however, is the permissions administration screen. You get to that screen by going to Administer and then scrolling down to Permissions. Here you see all of the different kinds of permissions that you can set. Each one of these lines is a different sort of permission and each one of the columns is a different sort of user. As you can see, you have your two built-in users here, Anonymous who have not signed in and Authenticated, who have. As we scroll down, there is a nice little trick here that Anonymous and Authenticated stays at the top, so you always know which column you are working with. That's new in Drupal 6 by the way.
By default, all users can access content, however that's pretty much it. So anytime you add an additional module or want to give permission to your Authenticated users to do something, you have to give them that permission specifically by turning it ON with a checkbox and then click on Save permissions. Another way that you can change Permissions is to go in to Administer and then instead of seeing it by Task, see it by Module. In each one of these groups, you will see a Configure permissions, which will bring you specifically to the part of that permission screen that deals with that particular Module. For example, Block, let's click on Configure permissions and it automatically jumps down to the Blocks area, which has two different things that can be set. Besides giving you ways to control access through the permission screen, Drupal also offers some limited ways of looking at access logs, which can be useful for tracking attacks. For example, a series of failed login attempts in very close succession could be a sign that someone is using an automated program to guess at your users passwords. Let's go and take a look at some of those reports. Go to Administer and then scroll down to Reports and here you can see Recent Log Entries which is everything. If there have been any Access Denied Errors, you can see those and then if people happen to go to pages that don't exist, you can even see those. Let's take a look at log entries here. This is in a reverse chronological order, so the most recent ones are at the top. But you could change that by clicking on any of these highlighted columns. For example, to sort by type, click here and then to sort in the opposite direction, that is from Z to A, you would click again. Let's go back to date and then click again to see it again from most recent to least recent. In addition, you can filter these log messages, for example, only to show those things that were an emergency level or of another high level. If you hold down the Shift key, for example, we can see everything from warning on up and then click Filter. That cuts out a lot of the noise that might otherwise distract you.
Finally, we should mention of some parts of Drupal that are particularly vulnerable to attacks. First of all, any third party modules, which were programmed by individuals, and then contributed to the Drupal project, they tend not to have as much oversight as the main Drupal project which of course, has dozens of people looking at it at any one time. Secondly, PHP and MySQL issues are always popping up and this is much larger than Drupal. It's a good idea for Drupal administrators to keep an eye on these matters as well although, if you follow the Drupal news, they will usually report any that affect Drupal. Finally, most important to watch out for is good old social engineering and by that, I mean getting e-mails that say, I am your administrator, give me your password or anything else that's basically tricking your users.
As always, your main source of information about Drupal should be drupal.org specifically for security purposes, drupal.org/security. On drupal.org/security page, you will see a list of advisories in reverse chronological order. So the most recent show up at the top. This video briefly discusses measures to protect the very top level, that is to say, Drupal itself. But then again, your Drupal installation is available to everybody on the internet, if you make it public. Fortunately, a knowledgeable application of Drupal's user based security systems is enough to stop most attacks.

Consistent with the operations of the 29% fringe political elites who have no problem with the Ground Zero mosque, the Associated Press has ordered a full stop on usage of "Ground Zero Mosque."
We should continue to avoid the phrase "ground zero mosque" or "mosque at ground zero" on all platforms. (We've very rarely used this wording, except in slugs, though we sometimes see other news sources using the term.) The site of the proposed Islamic center and mosque is not at ground zero, but two blocks away in a busy commercial area. We should continue to say it's "near" ground zero, or two blocks away.
There's just one problem — the Mosque is at Ground Zero. The building in which it will be built was damaged by the landing gear of one of the aircraft that hit the World Trade Center.Not to repeat what we've already written, but the fact is that the groups behind the "Ground Zero mosque" / Cordoba House / Park51 chose the site explicitly for its proximity to Ground Zero, and then spent months boasting about it in the press. Those groups are the Cordoba Initiative (run by Feisal Abdul Rauf, the "Ground Zero mosque's" imam-to-be); the American Society for Muslim Advancement, or ASMA (run by Rauf's wife, Daisy Khan); and SoHo Properties (run by the aforementioned Sharif el-Gamal, its CEO). Just a few brief but illustrative examples from the principals:
A December 8th, 2009, New York Times article stated, "The location [next to Ground Zero] was precisely a key selling point for the group of Muslims," and quoted Rauf as noting that they got a property "where a piece of the [9/11] wreckage fell." ASMA then touted the piece in its 2009 Year End Report. A simple Google search of the Cordoba Initiative's website reveals the phrase "Ground Zero" to be seeded throughout as a rather inept 1999-era SEO tactic to bring people looking for information about Ground Zero to the mosque promoters' website. On May 5th and 6th, ASMA's Daisy Khan was on her Twitter account, boasting first that the "new muslim center near ground zero gets unaminous vote of approval from community board one in downtown nyc," and then that she had a "Media blitz day for ASMA / Cordoba [on the] muslim commuity center near ground zero." On June 15th, Daisy Khan told the Washington Post's Sally Quinn that "a divine hand" led to the Ground Zero proximity.
Following the eruption of popular anger over their plans, the "Ground Zero mosque's" proponents are attempting to rewrite history. El-Gamal, as seen above, now tells interviewers that there's no "Ground Zero" at the "Ground Zero mosque," and Khan's tweets have the same phrasing, but a rather different emphasis. From July 28th: a "muslim community center NEAR ground zero."
This list could go on at some length, but this is sufficient to demonstrate that the "Ground Zero mosque's" stewards aren't unfairly tarred by the phrase: they wanted it. Everyone discussing this issue should face this fact squarely and honestly. It's the "Ground Zero mosque" because it was conceived and intended as the "Ground Zero mosque."

So Defoe Was a Latecomer?
Most readers think that the novel—or at least the English novel—came into its own with the emergence of the middle class at the beginning of the 18th century. Members of that class were primarily concerned with getting on in the world, living by the values we now think of as bourgeois: being comfortable, making enough money, getting congenially married. Readers in that class, mostly women with time on their hands, read novels to divert themselves and to gain a keener sense of their own lives, the men in their vicinity, the other women in their social milieux and, within limits, strangers. Those readers enjoyed romances, but they mainly wanted novels to be realistic, to present recognizable pictures of interesting men and women in social situations: strongly individual characters, social environments well drawn.
Don't tell that to Steven Moore. In "The Novel: An Alternative History," he holds that the novel actually began about 4,000 years ago. The earliest example he gives is "The Tale of Sinuhe," an Egyptian story about the picaresque adventures of a royal attendant; Mr. Moore dates it from the 20th century B.C. But since "The Tale of Sinuhe" in translation is only about 12 pages long, he urges us to call it "a mininovel."
To enforce his "alternative history" standard, Mr. Moore employs a questionable tactic: He designates as novels just about any fictional narrative, whether it is written in prose or verse or a mixture of the two; whether it is long or short, tells one story or many. Any style is acceptable. He brushes aside the standard distinctions between novels, romances and confessions: He simply designates all works of fiction as novels or proto-novels or "mininovels."
The problem with this tactic is that it doesn't exclude anything. "The Odyssey," "The Iliad," "The Aeneid," "The Divine Comedy," "The Canterbury Tales" are novels if you say that they are: They tell stories, they have characters, they feature beginnings, middles and ends. But if you put every work of fiction on the same shelf, you soon find yourself wanting to make distinctions, devising smaller units to acknowledge that "The Tale of Sinuhe" is not at all like "Robinson Crusoe" and that "Robinson Crusoe" is not much like "Bleak House."
Persist in such differentiations and you'll find yourself back where the standard account of the rise of the novel began, except that you needn't correlate the novel with the emergence of a particular social class. That exception is evidently congenial to Mr. Moore, because his likes and dislikes seem not to be related to social distinctions. He is happy to divide the novel along geographical and racial lines. So we have chapters on varieties of the "novel": Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek, Roman, Irish, Icelandic, Byzantine, Jewish, Arthurian, Italian, Spanish, French, Indian, Arabic, Chinese. Oh, yes, and the English novel.
The Novel: An Alternative History
By Steven Moore
Continuum, 698 pages, $39.95
No one knows all the languages required to read the works involved in the original, so Mr. Moore has consulted anthologies of modern-English translation. Questions of style in the originals are impossible to address. Mr. Moore prefers one translation to another on grounds difficult to establish. Mostly he settles on reciting the stories—which he does with verve, as with "Celestina," the bawdy 1499 Spanish "novel in dialogue" that he also calls "a blaring boombox" of "rude vitality."
Mr. Moore likes long, difficult novels that ask to be read, he thinks, as stylish performances: He approaches them in the same spirit as that of watching a ballet or a figure-skating competition. "The reason some of us consider [Joyce's] Ulysses the greatest novel ever written is not because it has a gripping story, lovable characters, or unique insights into the human situation, but because it is the most elaborate rhetorical performance ever mounted, making wider and more masterful use of all the forms and techniques of prose than any other novel."
Mr. Moore is the author of "A Reader's Guide to William Gaddis's 'The Recognitions' " (1982), explicating a notoriously difficult novel, and he has written enthusiastically about other challenging work, including Thomas Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow," Richard Brautigan's "Trout Fishing in America" and Alexander Theroux's "Darconville's Cat." In "The Novel: An Alternative History," he notes: "Every author of an innovative novel mixing literary forms and genres in an extravagant style is indebted to Rabelais [1494-1553], directly or indirectly. Out of his codpiece came"—and here he proceeds to list with evident approval 77 novels or novelists, from "Moby-Dick" to "A Clockwork Orange," from Cervantes and Henry Fielding to Robert Coover and John Barth. One senses that it is novels of "rhetorical performance" that earn Mr. Moore's esteem above all others, diminishing the traditions out of which came so many other major novelists—Jane Austen, George Eliot, Joseph Conrad, D.H. Lawrence, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Proust—whose works are less performances than transcripts of imagined lives meant to seem real.
The novel, Mr. Moore says (following a well-known remark by Vladimir Nabokov), is "essentially a delivery system for aesthetic bliss." He reports that "reading Marguerite Young's 1,200-page Miss MacIntosh, My Darling was like slipping into a luxurious opium dream." Little wonder: For him, "the novel is primarily about the workings of art; it doesn't represent 'the experience of the soul in search of God,' as one commentator enthused, so much as the experience of the poet in search of metaphors."
"The Novel: An Alternative History" does not exert much pressure on the common understanding of the history of the novel. Vehement in opinion, combative in tone, it might well have simply been called "These Novels I Have Loved."
