Word mail merge uses two files. The first is a primary document always created in Word, and the second is a data source which is the structured variable data that will be merged into that primary Word document. With Word mail merge, we can choose data from a wide range of data sources. With our document open, if we click on the Mailings tab and choose Select Recipients, you'll see three different types of data sources listed in reverse order of usefulness.
Type New List, Use Existing List, and Select from Outlook Contacts. It's always better to use an existing data source, whether that data source comes from Outlook or comes from an existing list. You'll only ever create a new list if the data that you need does not exist electronically anywhere else. Because if you duplicate data that already exists, for example, if you make a copy of an Excel list that someone else maintains, now there are two lists, and the chances are that there'll be some discrepancy between them over time, if they're not both maintained and both maintained by you.
Word makes it incredibly easy to connect to any data source on your computer and to access almost any network data source that you have permission to. For example, if the people you're sending this letter to are already in your Outlook Contacts list or a contacts folder in your public folders, you should use Outlook as your data source. Typically your Outlook data is some of the best maintained data that you keep on your computer, because you actually use it to contact people. If the list is an Excel or can be easily exported to Excel as so much data can be, then an Excel worksheet is a great data source.
To choose an Excel spreadsheet, simply chooses the Use Existing List option and then browse to locate your Microsoft Excel workbook. The same is true with Microsoft Access, and any SQL database or a database that you have an ODBC connection to can be accessed in the same way. When you choose Use Existing List, Microsoft Word goes out to a list of registered data sources on your computer and you can either create a new connection or choose an existing data source.
This is the kind of thing you want to talk to your IT department about setting up for you. If the data that you need in your mail merge doesn't exist anyplace else, for example, someone handed you a stack of manual forms that are what you'll need to use, then you'll need to type in existing list. The list will be stored in a small Access database when you save it and then in the future you can edit that data in Word or in Microsoft Access. When you save your main document, your primary file, you also save the connection between this letter and the data source file that you've selected.
The next time that you open this main document then, you've prompted to choose whether you want to use the information from your data file and merge it again into this document. If you click Yes, then your document will open with a connection to the data source. If you choose No, you are choosing to break the connection to the data source. Your main document will become a standard Word document and it will show one record, the record that is currently selected in the data source.
All of the fields that control the connection between your main document and your data source will be replaced with information from the first record and if you choose No and then save the file, you no longer have a primary Word document to use in a merge. Any of the data sources that you select might have more records than you want to use in a specific mail merge. But don't let that bother you. After you choose the type of data source you want to use and select your data source, you can then sort and filter that data to be able to use as a subset in a Microsoft Word Mail merge.

Correctly positioning and buffering inventory can help you create a more flexible supply chain with lower costs. In the military, it is common practice to pay suppliers on a "cost plus" basis. Effectively, this makes all the suppliers a...

JACKSON, Georgia (AP) - A man who was convicted of killing two college students after confessing to his FBI agent father was executed in Georgia, apologising to the families of both victims before being injected at a state prison.
Andrew Allen Cook, 38, was pronounced dead at 11:22pm on Thursday, about 14 minutes after he was injected with the sedative pentobarbital. He was the first inmate to be executed since the state changed its procedure in July from a three-drug combination to a single dose.
With his last words, he apologised to the families of Mercer University students Grant Patrick Hendrickson, 22, and Michele Lee Cartagena, 19, who were shot several times as they sat in a car at Lake Juliette, south of Atlanta, on Jan 2, 1995. He said what he did was senseless.
"I'm sorry," Cook said as he was strapped to a gurney. "I'm not going to ask you to forgive me. I can't even do it myself." He also thanked his family for "their support, for being with me and I'm sorry I took so much from you all." The Georgia Appeals Court on Wednesday temporarily stayed Cook's execution to consider a challenge to the state's lethal injection procedure. But the Georgia Supreme Court lifted the stay Thursday and all other appeals were exhausted.
Cook wasn't charged until more than two years after the killings. He confessed to his father, a Macon FBI agent who ended up testifying at his son's trial.
As a law enforcement officer, John Cook said he was forced to call his supervisor and contacted the Monroe County sheriff.
At the trial, as he walked away from the stand, the distraught father mouthed "I'm sorry" to the victims' families who were sitting on the front row of the courtroom. Several members of both families acknowledged his apology.

This review is from: Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Gunmetal - Cherry MX Blue (CH-9000045-NA)
Pros: This keyboard is a dream to type on and feels amazing. I used this mainly at work and not as a "gaming" keyboard. I actually looked forward to typing long emails with this because it just felt so nice. It is pretty loud, so if you have people around you in a work environment, it may get a bit annoying.
Cons: After docking my laptop to my port replicator after a meeting, the keyboard just stopped altogether. Basically no lights or functionality at all. I've had much cheaper keyboards that have lasted several connects/disconnects on the same port replicator that have never shorted out or failed. I'm not sure if this activity was the cause for the death of this thing, but one week of use before breaking is not a good experience no matter what the cause.
Other Thoughts: I paid my $12 blood money (return shipping) to RMA my keyboard that I got to use for one week. Now it appears they are out of stock so I will probably end up just getting a refund (minus $12 'rental fee') or just waiting a while for a replacement. So even if the next one lasts a while, I had the awesome opportunity to spend $12 more than I should have for 1 week of use and a lot of waiting.READ FULL REVIEW

Ryu Stretches Lead in Canadian Women's Open
So Yeon Ryu followed up her opening 9-under 63 - a new course record - with a 66 to increase her lead in the Canadian Women's Open from one stroke to five.
After posting nine birdies Thursday at London Hunt and Country Club in Ontario, the 24-year-old South Korean added six more on Friday to reach 15-under 129. Ryu has yet to drop a shot in the 72-hole, $2.25 million LPGA Tour event.
She's certainly pleased with her performance so far. "A lot of birdies is still a good sign, but no bogeys is more [of] a great sign because it means I play really consistent and when I was in trouble I handled it pretty well," Ryu said. "That's my goal. I am for the bogey-free round all four days."
Sharing second at 10-under are American Danielle Kang (68), Sweden's Anna Nordqvist (69) and Korea's Na Yeon Choi (70).
Six behind are Cristie Kerr (68), while seven back are Americans Brittany Lincicome (65) and Lizette Salas (66), Korea's Mi Hyang Lee (69), Australian Lindsey Wright (69) and China's Xi Yu Lin (70).
Inbee Park began the second round just three strokes behind countrywoman Ryu. But the No. 2-ranked player in the world could only muster one birdie for a 71 and is at 7-under with seven other players.
No. 1-ranked Stacy Lewis had a 68 to get to 5-under, the same total as two-time defending champion Lydia Ko, who's carded rounds of 70 and 69.
Canadian amateur Brooke Henderson has shot 70 and 71 to get to 3-under. "I played pretty well today," said Henderson, who lost in the 36-hole championship match to Texan Kristen Gillman at the U.S. Women's Amateur two weeks ago in New York. "I left a lot of opportunities out there and missed a lot of birdies, but that's OK."
The 36-hole cut was set at 1-under 143.

At PwC our purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems. Through our Corporate Responsibility (CR) strategy we are committed to using our skills, voice and relationships to influence and work with others to make a difference, generate change and create a lasting impact on the world around us.
One of the ways we achieve this is by participating in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), which we are proud to have done since 2002.
Our CR strategy clearly demonstrates the PwC network's commitment to the UNGC. For the PwC network, CR is about creating value for clients, people and communities and increasing the impact of activities. We express the PwC network's strategic intent as:
The greatest asset of the PwC network is our people and we believe that engaging them in CR efforts in their communities, alongside the work they do with their clients, is essential. By doing so we enable our people to drive their own development, increase PwC's societal impact and create greater value for our clients. Every day, I see examples of PwC people applying their skills in ways that deliver measurable outcomes and create both business and social value.
For example:
On a broader scale, we express support for fundamental human rights and avoid participating in business activities that abuse human rights. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by actively integrating principles of good environmental management into PwC workplaces around the world. PwC firms focus on results; understanding that we can only manage and improve what is measurable. In FY2015, we continued to report our network Green House Gas emissions as well as a range of community engagement indicators. In FY2013 we published a number of ambitious corporate responsibility commitments and we have continued to report on our progress towards meeting these goals.
We are a signatory to the UN Women's Empowerment Principles and in 2015 I became a HeForShe IMPACT 10x10x10 champion – making PwC one of the first 10 organisations around the world committing to take bold, game-changing action to achieve gender equality within and beyond their institutions.
Finally, we continue to be involved with the UNGC CEO Water Mandate, a public-private initiative that launched the Corporate Water Disclosure Guidelines in 2014. Our thought leadership in this area is helping business respond to complex water challenges.
PwC firms will continue to engage with stakeholders and communities to have a positive impact in the places where PwC people live and work. I look forward to continuing PwC's work with the UNGC, and furthering PwC's commitment to doing the right thing and being a catalyst for change.

|Check-in before
We really enjoyed the stay ! The host welcomed us with the champain ! :) That was a really good start of our vacations ! :) Only the last they at 2 am there were new people in the apartament on 2nd floor and they were screaming and making loud music but its not the fail of the hosts ! :) Althought we really enjoyed the stay and we will be back there for sure ! :)
Location is where you want to be for a city stay close to the water/port/nightlife! The noise level was completely bareable and we're very light sleepers & the apartment itself was really clean and practical. Kitchen could do with a couple more utensils but overall wasjust what we wanted. Host was very polite! Be ready for the steep stair case! Not suitable for older people.. All in all a lot of charm
Great Apsrtment, superb patio, right in the old town, but very quiet. Will definitely recommend.
I had a lovely stay with my family. The apartment was well equipped, with everything you need and very clean. The location of the apartment was great with few minutes walking distance to shops, restaurants and the train/bus station. To add our host- Laura was really nice, friendly and answered all our questions.She was really helpful. Over all everything was amazing. :)
Really nice
Location was perfect: right in the old town. The apartment is clean, freshly painted. It is located on the fourth floor, very high steps, so it would be impossible for old or sick people to go up and down those stairs. 4 people to stay there is pretty much impossible. The house is old and with such poor sound insulation that you can hear everything going on in the entire house as if there were no walls.
Location is nice n pretty. but very NOISY!
The apartment environment is just way too noisy. U can easily hear people shouting on the street during the night and listen to crowd chattering and laughing at the Cafe nearby during the early morning.
WiFi is just a bullshit.
There is actually no WiFi in this apartment but the host gave us the Cafe WiFi nearby. Cant access WiFi at all in the apartment but forced to get out to the cafe to get access.
Water supply is too small. Tiny Bathroom
Hardly shower comfortably with a small water supply inside the small tiny bathroom
Tiny flat pillow.
Bed is ok and reasonable but the pillow is just too flat. U can feel the cheapness of it by waking up at the next day with sore neck muscles.
A lot more to improve for the price.
Sexto piso sin ascensor , esta información no aparece en ningún lado,...un calor insoportable, no hay aire acondicionado..solo dos ventiladores que hacen un ruido infernal para dormir, las fotos son mucho más bonitas de lo que es en realidad...no la recomiendo...lo único bueno es la zona donde está.
Apartamento muy completo, céntrico y moderno. Anfitrión muy amable y nos informó sobre donde ir y que visitar.

Project Description
I have been looking into bespoke database design, and am also having my existing site re-developed to streamline the admin, and improve the site. I'm not sure whether this project requires 2 separate applications or not! I should point out that I am a backing track producer, and so someone who has musical knowledge is an advantage when understanding the nature of some of the data involved in this project.
The current site ([url removed, login to view]) has been built with ShopFactory. Some customers have asked if they can search my catalogue by different criteria, which at the moment is not possible. I would be interested in having the new website as close as possible to the existing one in appearance, but with the added benefit of a database approach, which would be required to be easy to maintain by myself. I would also require a database (separate application??)running on my computer where I can keep track of customers / orders / products.

Whether you are part of a small business or large group, healthcare reform will bring changes to your business.
It's important to note that the federal definition of a large employer is one with 101 or more employees. A small employer is defined as 1 – 100 employees. States can modify the definition of a large employer to 51 or more employees, and small employer to 1 – 50 employees until January 1, 2016.
How is Healthcare Reform impacting your business? What can you do to help your company better prepare for 2014.
Humana hosts webinars for small and large employers to offer education on the new requirements of healthcare reform and what you need to do to prepare for changes to your benefit programs.
Watch for upcoming webinars here and register in advance, or view our recently archived webinars on-demand.

Learn what is happening around the country on Health Reform. View highlights from coast to coast.
For more detailed information on the provisions already in effect and those upcoming, as well as what Humana is doing to support our customers. See our Healthcare Reform Provisions Timeline.
Below reviews upcoming reform provisions and support documents which affects Small Business, Large Groups and occasionally both.
Small Employer is defined as having 1-99 employees.
Individual and small group plans offered inside/outside the exchange must provide the essential benefits package. The minimum benefit package applies to individual and small group new business in 2014 and non-grandfathered existing business. It includes: Ambulatory patient services, Emergency services, Hospitalization, Maternity and newborn care, Mental health & substance abuse, Prescription drug, Rehabilitative & habilitative services/devices, Lab services, Preventive/wellness, Disease management and Pediatric services including oral & vision care.
States are allowed to merge together individual and small group markets if the state determines it is appropriate.
Rating restrictions go into effect for new individual and fully insured small group plans. Insurance companies cannot base premiums on health status, claims experience or gender. Premiums can only vary by age, geography, family size, or tobacco use (no more than 1.5:1).

A guide to understanding employer benefits options
A large employer is defined as one with 99 or more employees.
Employers sponsoring group health plans started paying $1 per participant in 2012. This fee increases in 2013 to $2 per participant. Thereafter the amount will be indexed to national health expenditures. This fee phases out by 2019. Revenue from the fee will fund research to determine the effectiveness of various types of medical treatments.

Large employers will be subjected to expanded 5500 reporting requirements to include information on the health insurance coverage of their employees.
A transitional reinsurance program will be established for the individual market and funded by individual and group health plan assessments (totaling $25 billion between 2014 – 2016). This program will provide payments to plans in the individual market that cover high-risk individuals.

Section 6055 requires health insurers and sponsors of self-insured plans to report on this coverage to the IRS annually. The reporting to both individuals and the IRS for 2015 is due in early 2016. It also requires insurers and self-insured plans to report to their MEC recipients, so the individuals can report that coverage when filing their federal taxes.
The 6055 reporting requirement has two goals. It helps individuals verify that they have MEC for purposes of satisfying the Individual Shared Responsibility requirement. At the same time, it enables the IRS to crosscheck that information with insurers or self-insured plans.
Entities subject to 6055 reporting are health insurance issuers, sponsors of self-insured plans, government sponsored programs, such as Medicaid, and providers of other arrangements designated as MEC, such as high-risk pools.
The final rule states that self-insured employers are responsible for reporting this information to the IRS. Humana will provide reporting to the IRS for fully insured groups. If a self-funded employer needs information on covered members and their coverage dates for a calendar year to meet their part of their reporting obligation, a report of covered individuals can be requested through their Humana representative.
Information required to be reported to the IRS by health insurers and sponsors of self-insured plans who provide minimum essential coverage:
Important Note:
Important Note: While the final rule allows reporting of birthdate if SSN cannot be obtained, it also requires the reporting entity (insurer or self-funded employer) to make two attempts to secure the SSN for reporting purposes. This will require Humana to contact the primary insured to obtain missing social security numbers for them or their dependents for all fully insured groups. Humana plans to start this outreach mid-year in 2015 and provide employers with a courtesy advanced notification. You can help by being proactive now in encouraging employees to provide this information up front at enrollment or open enrollment.
Section 6056 reporting requires employers subject to Employer Shared Responsibility to report to the IRS information about the health coverage they provided to their employees. The IRS will use this information to determine if the employer has to pay any penalties for failing to offer coverage or failing to offer coverage that meets minimum value and is affordable. The reporting to both individuals and the IRS for 2015 is due in early 2016. Even the smaller employer (50-99) will need to report the first year to certify they are exempt from a full report for the first year.
Information required to be furnished to the IRS:
Information reported to the IRS with the use of indicator codes will include:
Employers also have to provide statements to employees regarding their health coverage that mirrors the information reported to the IRS — primarily so employees can use this information to help determine if they are eligible for a premium tax credit for health insurance through the Marketplace.

For 2014, the out of pocket maximums are the same as the maximum out-of-pocket limits applicable to HSA-compatible high deductible health plans under IRS Code (note that the 2012 maximums are $6,050 for self-only coverage and $12,100 for family coverage). For future years, the 2014 limits are increased by the premium adjustment percentage - the percentage increase in the average per capita premium for health insurance coverage. These limits impact individual, small group and large group new business in 2014 and existing non-grandfathered business.
Also known as "guaranteed issue," with this provision health insurers must accept every individual and employer who applies for coverage.
Exchanges are online marketplaces. Insurance Exchanges will be created, along with Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Exchanges. In 2014, individuals and small businesses with up to 100 employees can purchase health insurance on these Exchanges. States can allow large employers to participate beginning in 2017.
Annual limits on essential health benefits are prohibited. However, this does not apply to grandfathered individual plans.
Individual and group health plans can no longer impose pre-existing condition exclusions for any person of any age. This includes children under the age of 19 and does not apply to grandfathered individual plans.
The law permits employers to offer employee rewards of up to 30% of the cost of coverage for participating in a wellness program and meeting certain health-related standards.
PROVISION DELAYED. NOW Effective Jan. 1, 2015: Employers with 50 or more full-time employees or full-time equivalents will pay an assessment if they don't offer adequate and affordable coverage. For more information, visit Healthcare.gov.
The U.S. Treasury Department released final regulations on Employer Shared Responsibility in February 2014. It will take effect Jan. 1, 2015, for employers with 100 or more full-time or full-time equivalent employees. Employers with between 50 and 99 full-time employees (including full-time equivalents) are exempt from the Shared Responsibility penalty until 2016, if the employer provides an appropriate certification and meets certain conditions.
Beginning in 2015 for employers with 100 or more full-time employees (including full-time equivalent employees) and beginning in 2016 for employers with 50 or more full time employees (including full time equivalent employees) must offer coverage that meets the requirements below to full-time employees (those working 30 hours a week or more) and their dependent children or face potential penalties:
Minimum essential coverage (MEC) is defined by the ACA as an employer-sponsored plan offered in a state (including a self-funded plan) or health coverage provided by the government. However, a plan consisting solely of "excepted benefits" such as stand-alone dental coverage is not MEC. Since you are offering a group health plan through Humana or a self-funded plan for which Humana is the administrator, the MEC requirement is satisfied.
Minimum value: All of Humana's standard plans meet the minimum value requirement.
Affordability*: There are three safe harbor methods for determining affordability:
*Note: This percentage is for plan years beginning on or after 1/1/2015. It is subject to change annually.
If an employer does not offer minimum essential coverage for any calendar month, and any full-time employee obtains a premium subsidy or cost-sharing reduction through the Federal Marketplace or a state-based exchange, the penalty will be $2,000 per year multiplied by the number of full-time employees for each calendar month of the year, minus the first 80 full-time employees (this number decreases to 30 in 2016).
If an employer offers minimum essential coverage but it doesn't meet the minimum value or affordability guidelines and any full-time employee obtains a subsidy or cost-sharing reduction through the Federal Marketplace or a state-based exchange, the penalty will be the lessor of $3,000 per each full-time employee certified as eligible to receive a premium tax credit or cost-sharing subsidy or $2,000 per year for each full-time employee, minus the first 80 employees (this number decreases to 30 in 2016). This penalty will be calculated calendar month to calendar month.
For employers with a plan year on a calendar year basis, it is 1/1/15. Whether an employer needs to comply as of 1/1/15 or on its plan year date (for those with non-calendar year plan years), depends on whether it qualifies for transition relief that would enable a delay until the plan year date. For more information, consult the final rule posted here.
The non-discrimination rules that currently apply to self-funded health plans are expanded to group fully insured health plans. Plans cannot base an employee's eligibility or continued eligibility for coverage on hourly or annual salary. Employer-provided insurance may not discriminate between employees. This will prevent employers from providing enhanced insurance benefits based on an employee's length of service. Under the new rules, plans may be subject to penalties of up to $100 per enrollee per day for violating the requirements.
Note: HHS has delayed application of the non-discrimination rules to fully insured health plans until additional regulations or other guidance are issued. The recent guidance makes clear that the Treasury Department will not apply the penalties until additional guidance or rules are issued on the nondiscrimination requirements.
Rising healthcare costs are creating the need for employers to review their health plan offerings. And with healthcare reform, even more changes are on their way. Learn what other employers are saying about how they plan to address these challenges.
In 2012, the Kaiser Family Foundation reported that the average premium for single and family coverage rose by a modest 3% and 4% respectively between 2011 and 2012. Interestingly, the growth in premiums has outpaced increases in inflation (2.3% since 2011 and 28% since 2002).
As reported in the 2012 Deloitte survey of U.S employers:
For employers, the task of managing premium cost-sharing is not simple. And with employees who vary widely in income and health, it gets even harder to predict what's in store. In 2014, for example, employers could be penalized if they have employees whose coverage is subsidized through state insurance Exchanges because these employee's group premiums exceed a percentage of their household income.
And that's just one example of how complex managing healthcare reform can be for your company.
By preparing yourself and your organization with information, you can manage healthcare reform successfully.
According to a Towers Watson survey, some companies are already taking steps to inform and educate themselves on healthcare reform. Here are some steps you can take right away:
The only constant is change.
The best thing you can do to protect your employees from this kind of uncertainty is to stay informed. Keep on top of the latest healthcare reform news at websites such as those from the Kaiser Family Foundation or the George Washington University and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

Unfortunately, the open-world crime genre's amassed a wealth of standard standby missions. Everything from destroying drug farms to shooting your way out of a hospital is as germane to the genre as the lava stage is to platformers. Saints 2 plucks from these molds, too, but it throws in plenty of unexpected missions and lets you play all of them cooperatively online. One mission, Down Payment, has you forcibly evicting homeless people from their underground shantytowns. It's cruel, yes, but it's sadistically fun to hurl bums into their shabbily built shacks with a friend online. And every mission in Saints 2 focuses on the action -- no annoying tailgating mission, no awkward stealth segments, and no ridiculously unfair races. In fact, it has an extraordinary amount of forgiveness for everything from your health (which replenishes over time) to frequent checkpoints within multistage missions. Keeping that in mind, players looking for a challenge won't find much here.
Saints 2's innovations aren't all about nerfing either. The first Saints Row introduced the now-expected GPS system, and Saints 2 has another feature that I hope others adopt: cruise control. While driving any vehicle, you can increase or decrease your acceleration speed and set it there, letting you focus on driver-side shooting. Granted, you still have to steer the car, but with practice, cruise control has a strong tactical advantage in vehicular combat.
The character creation is even more detailed than in the first Saints, and Volition gives the protagonist a voice this time around -- six voices, to be exact, all with the full range of cut-scene dialog and miscellaneous banter. The 'hood dialect not for you? Choose the British voice and picture yourself in an alternate Snatch universe. The cut-scenes sport excellent action sequences, too, and unlike GTA, it doesn't copy the plot from other crime movies and television dramas. As good as they are, though, the cut-scenes do draw attention to the middling graphics. They're passable, but barely so.
Hopping online, you'll want to skip straight past the typical deathmatch modes -- which are too hectic and don't work well with the shooting mechanics -- and go right into the Strong Arm mode. Six players face off in a match to raise the most cash by competing in four random activities (Race, Insurance Fraud, Mayhem, and others). Matches begin and end quickly as you bounce from one objective to another, so if you're performing poorly in one, it'll only be a few minutes before it changes. Things fall apart when random teammates start killing each other instead of focusing on the tasks at hand, but with a few friends, you'll have a lot of fun, as Strong Arm flexes Saints 2's best quality: varied mission objectives. To spice things up, "tagging" spots can nab advantages for your team, from increased ammo to removal from radar (which shows your location throughout the match). These perks aren't permanent, as the opposition could reclaim them at any time, but they're necessary to tip the scales in a close match. The overly aggressive NPCs are a significant annoyance (they were responsible for more than a few hit-and-runs).
Saint's 2's main deficiency, however, isn't the graphics, gameplay, or anything technical -- it just doesn't hold a candle to GTA's signature style. Not one character in the entire cast stands out as anything other than generic. The city, too, is an uninspired, washed-out metropolis. This is disappointing because part of the magic of GTA is that the cities are like characters unto themselves. The tongue-in-cheek radio-station banter also gets close to the GTA pedigree, but its pedestrian satire just comes off as annoying.
Saints 2 relishes the hedonistic aspects of the open-world genre and does very little to punish the player for their repugnant behavior. It has plenty of innovation, and the excellence in the presentation makes the world of Saints 2 a great introduction for newcomers to open world games. It's not GTA, but it doesn't need to be.

Some may not be familiar with the name Kym Whitley, but given her extensive resume, there's a good chance you've seen her (or heard her voice) in a TV show or movie during the last 20 years. The actress and comic steps into the spotlight with a reality series featuring a group of her friends that she calls "The Village" doing something none of them has done before: Raise a baby. When Kym agreed to mentor a troubled girl, she didn't expect to get a call from a hospital telling her that "her" baby is ready. She learns that the girl she was set to mentor left the maternity ward, giving only Kym's contact information, so the actress had less than an hour to make a life-changing decision of whether or not to become the child's mother. After she decided to raise baby Joshua, the Village came together to help her face the realities of being a full-time mom. Among the challenges Kym has is trying to be just friends with Joshua's father.

Why not release a Megaman HD collection? What's holding Capcom back?
i still have x1-x3, on snes, x4-x5 on ps1, and x7-x8 on ps2 don't own x6 but have beat it before would be nice to have them all for 1 system sure they have the x collection for ps2 but the xbox isn't a ps2 now is it
corex3d posted...
i would buy this is a second if they made it
Nice to know there are still big fans of the series. :)
Megaman was my "super mario bros." when I was young.
He's awesome. I just don't want him to die.

I mentioned this exact same thing on the Mega Man X SF board a few months ago. It seems like the perfect thing to create for his 25th Anniversary; sadly, it doesnt look like its going to happen any time soon. But to the people saying Capcom have abandoned him forever no way. Hell be back. It may not be tomorrow, but Capcom isnt going to all of a sudden forget they love money and intentionally choose to not make it by ignoring their trademark character forever.
Even so you have to think, that breakup between Capcom and Inafune must have really, REALLY bad for them to snuff Mega Man for so long now. I mean, theyre the most money-hungry company out there, and they actually chose NOT making money in favor of sticking it Mega Man, which can only really be tied to Inafune leaving. That, is some pretty bitter stuff, coming from them.
Can someone bum me a sig? I'm fresh out.
Was it ever explained why inafune left? Or what caused capcom to just STOP making MM games ?

You can't just "upscale" 2-D sprites to HD. When they released Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, they had to redraw every background and every single frame of animation.
I agree, except for this:
From: GGearX | #001
Redrawn sprites ( maybe give MM 1-7 the MM8 look, which I really liked)
They should redraw MM7 and MM8 in 8-bit instead.
I just want them to be available so that they can add new achievements and challenges. I've already beaten 1-6 too many times and I'm looking for a reason to keep replaying them.
I hate my username.

I agree, except for this:
As many people want this to happen.
It most likely wont.
Why? Redrawing animations for EVERY single thing in the game and backgrounds will take a long time.
So much time that it will have to be released in a single game. Because if you're charging $20 -$40 for the entire "HD" collection. They'll be losing money. When they can easily charge $15 for just the game alone.
Plus the fact that not many people are 'wanting' MM7 or 8 to be fully redrawn.
Plus considering there are a lot of MM games out there.
So including the MM original and X series plus redrawn sprites for a few games AND extra MM games that are 'not known' will be giving too much for too little.
Yes, for the consumer it's AWESOME.
But for Capcom, it's them potentially losing money.
They could release MM CLASSIC COLLECTION VOLUME 1. Features MM1-4 plus artwork and commentary from the creators PLUS music!
For only $15!!!! Many people will be all "HELL YEAH CHEAP! for all that much?!?!?!? AWESOME"
Then they can release 5-8 with their commentary and artwork for the same price. Then release 9 and 10 for a 'good' deal with their dlc.
Then they could do that with the X series as well.
Hell, they could release MM ORIGINS and include only MM1 and 2 and just release 'packs' for $5. The pack would include 2 more megaman games. Capcom could just keep doing that until the last 2 are release. Afterwards just release the ENTIRE MM origins for a few dollars cheaper than getting each pack one at a time. It will give people the illusion that they are getting a deal out of it when they intended to release it all in it's entirety from the get go. So those that only buy a pack or two of their favorite mm games will be fine. So they don't lose potential customers that only wanted 1 or 2 MM games.
Now a days, the things like 'collections' aren't ever truly 'complete' Hell, take a look at SF 25th Anniversary Collection box. You got all RECENT SF games + dlc codes. No alpha 3, or vanilla SF2 or even SF2 HF. Yes yes, they are all just upgrades. But Alpha 3 is part of the SF series! Why not include that? SF collectors box is for 'people that aren't Street Fighter fans. Simple as that. Hell, recall those arcade classic packs Capcom kept releasing? Not sure if they still are. But it was just 2-3 old school arcade games for a cheap price. They had 'volumes' of that and in the end you can get their entire 'collection' for a nice price.
TC. Stop dreaming. HD collection wont / can't happen for other reasons as well. You can't really give 'hd' to an old game like that. They would have to box it. So your nice HD TV will have to scale it down to half it's resolution.
Too much time consuming and most likely not worth their money.

This review is from: MSI H81M-P33 LGA 1150 Intel H81 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: cheap for a lga 1150 mobo, has usb 3.0 ports in the back.
Cons: First only 2 sata ports are up to 6.0Gbps. Second it has NO usb 3.0 19-pin connector for the front. Most importantly, terrible product quality and customer service. 6 months after i bought it, with there were some windows 8 automatic repair failures, it seems to boot up slowly and get into windows 8 much slower than before. Few days ago, it cannot power on after I bought a new hard drive, until i swapped everything from my dad's desktop and scale the problem down to the malfunctioning mobo. I emailed msi and they did not reply, seriously why.
Other Thoughts: still have to buy since I need another mobo to replace it. Terrible product and customer service.READ FULL REVIEW

I sold a bag on 1/27 and I know it is still soon but buyer never contacted me or paid and looking at his feedback there is feedback from a seller saying that he never paid for an item, so I am afraid he is not going to pay. I want to open an unpaid case but don't want to get negative feedback. Can he give negative feedback right after I open a case, during the period that I have to wait for his response? Thanks for any help!
on 01-30-2013 06:35 PM
If the buyer ends up paying, then it is business as usual, as in they will be able to leave any FB they wish. It is treated as a normal transaction.
If you close a UPI with NO payment, then NO FB can be left by either party AND if they leave FB before it is closed with no payment, EBAY will remove it.

Julianna Margulies Hair, Emmy Awards 2011
Published Sep 19, 2011
Hairstylist Matthew Monzon wanted to mirror Julianna's old Hollywood Armani Privé gown with a glamorous hairstyle to match. "The style was Veronica Lake, modernized," said Matthew.
He started with damp hair, and worked Leonor Greyl Lait Luminescence Bi-Phase Detangling Milk through Julianna's hair, applying the product only from the mid-shaft down through the ends. To create volume, Matthew combed Leonor Greyl Mousse au Lotus Volumatrice through the hair with a wide-tooth comb and blow-dried using a two-inch round brush. He made a deep side part on the left and then set the top portion of her hair in Velcro rollers for extra oomph.
He sprayed Leonor Greyl Voluforme Styling Spray to each section before curling. He used a one-and-a-half inch curling iron to curl the bottom layer of Julianna's hair in a uniform direction. He then created another layer on top, barrel-curling the sections in alternating directions.
After completing the back of Julianna's hair, Matthew removed the top half from the Velcro rollers and brushed through with a boar bristle brush, creating a soft finger wave. He finished the look with a spray of Leonor Greyl Laque Souple Light Styling Spray for hold. Watch the video below for the full how-to!

Product Description
Product Description
From acclaimed director Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Hannibal) and renowned producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pearl Harbor, Armageddon) comes a gripping true story about bravery, camaradarie and the complex reality of war. Black Hawk Down stars an exceptional cast including Josh Hartnett (Pearl Harbor), Ewan McGregor (Moulin Rouge!), Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan), Eric Bana (Chopper), William Fichtner (The Perfect Storm), Ewen Bremner (Snatch) and Sam Shepard (All The Pretty Horses). In 1993, an elite group of American Rangers and Delta Force soldiers are sent to Somalia on a critical mission to capture a violent warlord whose corrupt regime has lead to the starvation of hundreds of thousands of Somalis. When the mission goes terribly wrong, the men find themselves outnumbered and literally fighting for their lives.
Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down conveys the raw, chaotic urgency of ground-force battle in a worst-case scenario. With exacting detail, the film re-creates the American siege of the Somalian city of Mogadishu in October 1993, when a 45-minute mission turned into a 16-hour ordeal of bloody urban warfare. Helicopter-borne U.S. Rangers were assigned to capture key lieutenants of Somali warlord Muhammad Farrah Aidid, but when two Black Hawk choppers were felled by rocket-propelled grenades, the U.S. soldiers were forced to fend for themselves in the battle-torn streets of Mogadishu, attacked from all sides by armed Aidid supporters. Based on author Mark Bowden's bestselling account of the battle, Scott's riveting, action-packed film follows a sharp ensemble cast in some of the most authentic battle sequences ever filmed. The loss of 18 soldiers turned American opinion against further involvement in Somalia, but Black Hawk Down makes it clear that the men involved were undeniably heroic. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

However, this review isn't about the film itself. Hundreds of people before me have already done that. I am reviewing the DELUXE DVD version, which I must say was well worth the wait.
If you are a fan of any of actors of this film, then the special features will be a major treat. The main members of the cast (approx. 20 actors) - from Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor, Sam Shepard, Eric Bana and Jason Isaacs to up-and-comers Hugh Dancy, Matthew Marsden and Orlando Bloom get a major boost in this DVD. The 2 1/2 hour "Essence of Combat" documentary alone is worth the price of the dvd. It is packed with fabulous behind-the-scenes features, candid interviews and footage featuring the screenwriter (Ken Nolan), book author (Mark Bowden), director (Ridley Scott), special effects guys, composer (Hans Zimmer), military/technical consultants, cast members and even the actual soldiers who were involved in the mission. There are approx. 9 deleted scenes, most of which were a shame to not have been included in the final film. There are also photo galleries, loads of commentaries and many more!!!
If you are a fan of the film itself or want to know more about the events surrounding the Somalian conflict, there are two excellent TV documentaries from PBS and the History channel that would do just that.
I highly recommend this DELUXE DVD to fans of the film as well as fans of the actors involved.Read more ›
Director Ridley Scott's goal was to convey what the soldiers endured on this ill-fated campaign, and he succeeds. Several of the one-star reviews here found the action unbelievable, yet the facts of the battle are well documented. The script is based on Mark Bowden's exhaustively researched book. The film's nearest cinematic cousin is "Saving Private Ryan." It has the same unflinching stare at the brutality of combat, the same realization that the fundamental loyalty of a soldier is to the man fighting next to him. The characters here are a true ensemble; there's no Tom Hanks figure standing at the centre. "Black Hawk Down" is about the men, not a man.
If you have an interest in owning "Black Hawk Down," this is the package to own, even more than a Blu-ray edition. The DVD presentation looks and sounds great. It's easy to see why this won Oscars for editing and sound.
Why prefer the 3-disk DVD over a hi-def Blu-ray? This set's extensive commentary and background supplements make the difference. Disk two features a comprehensive making-of feature full of fascinating information about things like how the actors learned to move like soldiers and how the crash scenes looked so very real. My respect for the film grew after seeing the craft that went into it. Disk three features *two* historical documentaries totalling more than two and a half hours detailing the reality behind the film.Read more ›
Let me begin with, WOW. I loved this movie and i'm sure others will too. Black Hawk Down was action-packed and quite emotional at times. Favorite part of the movie has to be the cast... Orlando Bloom, Josh Hartnett, Jeremy Piven, Eric Bana and my favorite in the movie, William Fitchner from prison break!
Blu-Ray Review. Great blu-ray. Top notch video after the first few scenes (YIKES), and the BEST audio I've heard to date and I own plenty of blu-rays. Highly Recommend this movie!
Special features are, to put simply: a perfect assembled package. Three discs boasting a proud and informative as well as entertaining content. You also have History Channel and PBS documentary on the actual events, showing quite tough footage, and a 150-minute long documentary on the making of the film, as well as several more interviews, featurettes, deleted scenes... the list goes one, but this is an edition fans of the movie SHOULD seek out before it's not available anymore.
Sure, Black Hawk Down may not be the best in Ridley Scott's filmography, but it sure is powerful filmmaking, showing skillful performances and more. This DVD edition dates from back when special editions still had a future and still delivered on all fronts.

I guess it should go away like many DA bugs, I wouldn't want to delete history and all that stuff some people seem to suggest haha. Also because it's not sure it'll work like that.
Still, I was meaning to upload a new drawing, so in the meanwhile you can maybe have a look at it on Tumblr here, if you want: rennydraws.tumblr.com/post/140… (yeah, yeah it's Wolvie haha)

Flexi Cowl

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
We are reaching the end of January, and I'm getting tired of wrapping the old scarf around my face to keep my nose, cheeks, and chin from falling off (as I write this, its -25C-13F). So, what better way to keep my face warm than a cowl? This Flexi Cowl is perfect for cold weather, and the lovely colors make it the perfect winter accessory for men and women alike. Make one for yourself and one for all your friends and family. They make wonderful gifts and are easy enough for crochet fans of all skill levels to make.
- 1-2 skeins light weight yarn (328 yards)
- 3.75mm hook crochet hook
- Diagram
Make a chain of a multiple of 4 + 2 (mine was of 82).
Row 1: ch 2 (counts as a sc), sc 1, * ch 2, skip 2, sc 2 * to the end.
Row 2: ch 3 (counts as a dc), dc 1, * ch 2, skip 2, dc 2 * to the end.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until desired length, ending with a row 1.
The cowl is a flexible cowl, since you can button it tight to look more like a scarf, or wear it looser around the neck.
To finish it, add the button on the edge. They should fit through the little holes.

Do I turn after each row or start another row? Can you tell me the name of the yarn I love the colors. crochet lover
FaveCrafts Editor JL
Sep 12, 2014
Hi there, From my understanding, you start another row. Also, the designer did not specify the type of yarn but we suggest you take a look at our sister site CutRateCrafts for a wide selection of lightweight yarn. - Julia from FaveCrafts
Feb 08, 2014
To answer MrsJonesy's question about 80 or 82... Chain any multiple of 4. Then chain 2 extra to start the next row. It's the same as if you're chaining up from any previous row. The chain 2 doesn't count as a stitch, so in this example, you'll wind up with 80 stitches across, not 82.

I'm confused by the instructions. Did you chain 82 then add a chain 2 to start your first row or chain 80 and then chain 2 starting the first row? I keep ending my first row incorrectly with two chains left, which doesn't match the diagram. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm trying to make this for a Christmas gift. Thanks!

hey ladies,
So I will be a FTM in just a few weeks. I have also been doing freelance work for a few years now to bring in some extra income. Since this summer, that is all the work I have done. I plan on continuing this work once the baby is born, but since I don't know how much work it will take to balance the two, I'd like to ask your opinions.
Should I cut back on work and how much to make sure I have enough time for the baby? (I work an average of 5 hours per day now)
Is it possible to continue working at home as the child gets older, or do they take all my attention?

WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) - Already jailed on federal child sex charges, the mayor has now been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges he enticed a child into a sexual relationship, according to a published report.
The indictment means the grand jury found the FBI had probable cause to arrest Mayor Philip Giordano in July, when he was accused of having a sexual relationship with two girls, cousins ages 9 and 11, The Hartford Courant reported Saturday.
Giordano, 38, the three-term mayor, has been jailed without bail since his arrest July 26.

Wine Maker Notes
Bouvet Brut Saphir is an exceptional vintage-dated sparkling wine produced predominantly from Chenin Blanc grapes blended with a smaller proportion of Chardonnay from a single year's harvest. Bouvet-Ladubay's extensive production in its high quality non-vintage cuvées allows it consistent access to the production of Saumur's finest vineyards in each vintage. The yields from the best of these microclimates, delivered as grapes and pressed at Bouvet's facilities, are carefully evaluated in the most successful vintage years and set aside from the lots blended for non-vintage Bouvet Signature Brut. The base wines are vinified in computer-regulated, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate aromas and elegant fruit of the grape. The blenders, relying on talent, experience and technological support, select the wines to be assembled for this cuvée according to the elegance, complexity and balance each contributes to the finished wine.
The second fermentation takes place in the traditional method developed by the champenois, in the bottle, following the addition of a small amount of sugar and yeast. The transformation from still wine to sparkling takes place in Bouvet-Ladubay's cool, moist cellars, where the bottles are automatically riddled on computer-calibrated "gyropallets," which duplicate the hand-riddling process in a slightly shorter span of time. At each step of production, the most exacting standards of quality are applied to yield a handcrafted sparkling wine of superior character and refinement, expressive of its vintage year and representative of the signature "Excellence" that since 1851 has been the foundation of Bouvet-Ladubay's philosophy.

This review is from: G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Memory for Apple Model FA-8500CL7D-8GBSQ
Pros: GSkill is usually great quality, and affordable.
Cons: My late 2008 Macbook (2 Ghz Core 2 duo) won't boot up. Although originally only compatible for a maximum of 4gb, it has been confirmed that with an updated bios, the late 2008 Macbook can support 8gb. https://discussions.apple.com/message/24234212?tstart=0#24234212?tstart=0
I bought a 8gb kit from Mushkin first because it was cheaper. The computer would boot up but after about 30 seconds I kept getting kernel panics (grey restart screen) found to be a common problem. So I returned it and tried G.Skill which has worked great for all my PC upgrades in the past.
With the GSkill installed, it won't boot up at all. I tried putting them in one at a time (with and without the stock ram) and every time I turned on the machine with any Gskill ram in it, it wouldn't boot up. (Black Screen. Beeps every 2 seconds or so).
So I put the stock ram back in and it boots up fine. Hopefully I can figure this out....
Other Thoughts: Is there a different ram that I should be looking at? What's the problem here? Both sticks can't be defective can they?READ FULL REVIEW
