Your BMW dealership isn't the only place to buy genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your X5. BMW automobile drivers have grown accustomed to a certain level of a reputation for performance when driving their X5 around town. Anyone who owns a BMW knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Car aficionados know that a reliable name is built into each BMW, and understand that only the best repair X5 parts will suffice when repairs are needed.
Ever since the 1950s, cars and trucks have been built with either standard or optional climate control systems. On your BMW X5, the main component of this system is the A/C compressor. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the BMW X5 A/C compressor, as the name would suggest, compresses this refrigerant into a dense liquid. After that it goes to an expansion valve that turns it into a gas so it can flow through the evaporator. That cools it so it can emit cold air. If your car or truck did not have a functioning A/C compressor, you would not be able to cool your vehicle on hot days.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate BMW X5 part for your project or repair. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right BMW X5 A/C Compressor for your 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000 model.

What he didMature
(Sequel to Raphael)
Well, I see you're back for more.
In the previous story, "Raphael", we met a few people: Lee (thats me), Mack and Raphael, mostly, even though Raphael is a dog.
In "Raphael" Mack mentions a person called Eddie Weaver and threatens to tell the police about what I did to Eddie.
I will now tell you the story of Eddie Weaver, and what I did to make myself so anxious whenever Eddie was mentioned.

62: Putting Out FiresMature
Keon and I made slow but constant progress in our efforts to extinguish all light from the cave. The Alfar were bravely providing distraction for us, though they made little headway in truly crippling the giant's power. It seemed that, no matter what they threw at him, he remained solid and sure.
An idea came to me quite suddenly. "Wait!" I cried. My unbridled reaction wouldn't come without castigation. The giant heard my distinctly feminine voice bounce toward him from the now-distant corner of the cave where I crouched. He wound his ghastly head away from his current challengers and toward my direction. Hostile stomping was heard but unseen on his approach in the gloom, and my time ran thin.
"And what did you go and do that for?" Keon seethed.
"I'm sorry!" I shrieked, then repeated in a whisper, "I'm so sorry. But I've thought of something." As I explained faintly, Keon gripped my arm and led me quietly and swiftly to a less conspicuous area. "We've been putting out fires, but what if the contrast of the heat against the cold is just what we need? What if the frost giant has a weakness to fire?"
I imagine Keon probably shook his head, but it was impossible to see. "It's been tested. Had you not been so frantic, you might have noticed how many times the elves have tried to throw a torch at him. He does seem to have an aversion, but he dodges much better than you'd think. They haven't hit him once, dear."
Stepping out onto the frozen lake, we approached another light on the ground, but this one was a faintly glowing lantern that had been dropped on its side. I shuddered at the sight of the frosted corpse beside it. "But wait-- it's a lantern! That means it's got oil in it. All we need to do is tie--" my voice was cut short by a frustrated and mighty roar. Perhaps he had heard me again. The ice beneath us trembled with the giant's running footsteps. He had certainly heard me again.
"Come on, follow me!" Keon yelled above the ruckus. He had taken off at a slipping sprint, and I froze with fear when I realized I had lost track of him completely, having foolheartedly decided to bend down to pick up the lantern before following. Had my mind not been clouded with fear, I would have just run away any direction I could, but it seemed so impossible now. Surely my mistake would be fatal.
My legs refused to move as I heard the giant closing in on me. "Where are you, girl?" he growled. "I've been promised a nice bounty for your pretty little head, and I intend to get it."
I heard him take a deep breath, and I was able to make out the blue glow on his throat yet again. He wasn't twenty feet from me. I saw him as he looked down with his icy blue eyes, using the light from his body to locate me. He blew a gale from his jaws into the air above me, and as I finally found the strength to move my legs, I narrowly escaped impalement from one of the icicles that came raining down. Suppressing a scream from the incident had proven impossible, and the giant seemed all the more roused. I felt the sharp pain of a scrape on my arm, but now was not a time to dwell on pain. The spear-like icicles had penetrated the icy covering over the lake, and I felt a chilling puddle forming at my feet as I began to sink. I scrambled away from the wreckage, carefully toting my crossbow in one arm and keeping the lamp dry with the other. I rose to my feet and found my back now set firmly against a large stone. Everyone, it seemed, had disappeared altogether from my side.
It was time to put my hunch to the test. There was nothing else I could do; the frost giant knew where I was, and he wasn't about to back down. I ripped a dry strip of cloth from my cloak frantically, but I lost my balance as the giant caused the ground to quake again with his advancement. The glass surrounding the lantern broke into shards as I dropped it. With shaking hands, I reached through the broken glass, cutting my lower thumb in the process, and drew out the chamber that contained the oil. Most of the fuel had either burned away or spilled, but amid the tremors of the giant's footsteps, I managed to wet the strip of cloth as best I could.
"Thought you were going to give me more trouble, to be honest," I heard the giant boom as he took his final steps toward me, patting his axe in his hands. "Arrows are like splinters to me, and yet they seem to be the elves' top weapon of choice. What a shame." I tried to tune out the giant's words as I wrapped the cloth around the head of the bolt that was loaded in my crossbow. Then came the final step, to run it over the barely-burning lantern's wick and hope it took to the flame. A spark. And then an all-out kindling of the oil and the cloth, a flaming bolt, and one last shot at defeating my adversary.
I looked up at the giant as I heard his final stomp come to an end. He towered almost directly above me, regarding my enhanced weapon. "You think the light can still fight the darkness?" The giant's cold words perspired on my face. "I'll put out your spark in a single breath."
I realized that, when I had decided to act on my intuition, when I had become determined to fight until the last moment, I had forgotten my fears. What did they matter when all that was left was a simple choice? My aim steadied as I raised it to meet the now-glowing throat of the frost giant. Just before my foe was able to complete his inhalation, his breath was cut short. The blue of the magical glow and the orange of the flame collided violently, and the giant's throat was pierced. Both lights extinguished in a flash, and the cave became totally eclipsed. Keon must've put out all the other flames in his absence. Amid the darkness, I heard a choking, then a gargling, and then a wave of warm water crashed over me. All fell silent.
"Keon? Anybody? Is anyone there?" I cried into the emptiness.
To my intense relief, a number of voices sounded in reply. Several elves crowded toward my voice, and one of them managed to relight one of the torches after a few minutes. Keon was not present, and neither, it seemed, was the body of the frost giant. Nothing remained of the creature but his pale horns, soaked fur clothing, battle axe, and… was that a letter by his pocket?

- Letting all carriers bid on two blocks of prime spectrum in the upcoming auction of Canada's 700 MHz airwaves - not just US carriers.
- Requiring any US carrier that enters Canada to build out to the entire country, including rural areas.
- Giving Canadian wireless incumbents the chance to bid against the major US companies to acquire wireless startups seeking buyers.
Conservative MPs block federal Industry Committee from hearing the concerns of the 81% of Canadians who want a level competitive playing field in wireless MONTREAL, Aug. 27, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Bell is disappointed in today's decision by Conservative MPs on the House of Commons Industry Committee to block public hearings on their government's wireless policy - including the 3 wireless loopholes opposed by most Canadians that give extraordinary advantages to major US players like Verizon. "The vast majority of Canadians want a level competitive playing field in wireless and don't want any companies to receive special favours. It's unfortunate that the government has rejected the chance to engage with Canadians on the public stage and show leadership in this critical national debate," said George Cope, President and CEO of Bell Canada and BCE. The 3 loopholes in federal wireless rules give US companies like Verizon these advantages over Canadian companies: 1) preferred access to Canada's crucial wireless spectrum, 2) the right to piggyback on Canadian carrier networks, and 3) the right to acquire struggling companies in Canada that Canadian companies like Bell can't buy. Tens of thousands of Canadians have written to the Prime Minister asking for the loopholes to be closed, and national and provincial organizations of all kinds representing millions of Canadians have also made their concerns about the loopholes public. In a recent national survey by Nanos Research ( www.nanosresearch.com), Canadians said they want a level playing field in wireless. 81% said the government should give no favours to any carrier, foreign or domestic, while just 2% supported the idea of special favours for giant US entrants like Verizon. "The federal government continues to ignore the growing chorus of Canadians of all kinds who are calling for the wireless loopholes to be closed," said Mirko Bibic, Chief Legal and Regulatory Officer for Bell. "Parliament is the right place to have a fair, transparent and constructive dialogue on a public policy affecting all Canadians. Unfortunately, Conservative MPs just shut down the best opportunity for the concerns of Canadians to be heard." Bell joins Canadians in calling on Ottawa to close the 3 wireless loopholes by:

Uhm. I think I made a major mistake. I've not verified that the problems I described are still there in FC4T3 (or anything newer than FC1). My bad. Perhaps all this IS already a problem of the past... Please excuse the noise if all that is nowadays a non-issue, but in my FC1, no DRI stuff was set up at all. Well, as soon as FC4 is out, I'll upgrade (reinstall actually) my desktop and notebook systems to FC4 and see how things are, and will get back if that stuff is still an issue.

Shamrock Scurry
Killearn United Methodist Church •
The Shamrock Scurry, one of Tallahassee's oldest races, is back at Killearn United Methodist Church, where it all started in 1981. This event, including a popular Pancake Breakfast afterward, has all proceeds going to local charities, youth rehabilitation and feeding programs. It has become one of the largest and most popular 5K and 1 mile races in the Tallahassee area, with around 1,000 regional runners participating.
The race was held Saturday, March 12, 2016. The course begins near the church on Roscommon Drive and features a scenic route of residential areas and the Killearn Country Club golf course. Most of the original course is followed, which many in the running community remember as "good but tough", and still features the famed "Scurry Hill" around mile 2. So come join the fun and come race for a great cause!

There will be lots of eyes watching Ken Bow's every move as the Commonwealth Games men's gymnastics competition gets under way today.
But local real estate agent Mr Bow isn't tackling the vault, horse or high bar, instead he is on the panel of judges for the men's artistic competition.
Mr Bow, who is a member of Mid Island Gymsports ( Migs) in Rotorua, has been a judge for many years after retiring as a competitive gymnast.
His inclusion in the Commonwealth Games - his third Games as a judge - has excited all at the club and they hope it will have many spin-offs.
"Ken's involvement in the Games gives everyone an opportunity to see you don't have to be a gymnast to be involved in sport," said Migs centre manager Alesha Morris.
"He's ranked No2 in New Zealand and it's hugely exciting for us. Ken actively coaches men's artistic gymnastics and he still mentors and coaches the kids. We'll be watching to see if he appears on TV and what he's judging.
To judge at the Commonwealth Games you have to be at a certain level."
She said events such as the Commonwealth Games, where gymnastics received more television time than normal, gave parents and children a better idea of what sports there were.
"It's not about kids competing all the time. There are other aspects that people can get involved with - there are lots of different opportunities.
"We definitely see an increase in participation after these events. Gymnastics is a great foundation sport."
Sport Bay of Plenty sport manager Megan Cleverly said viewers keen to get involved could get in touch with them for contact details.
"Table tennis and badminton are two of our growth sports - they are huge and that's not even with the Commonwealth Games. There's very clear evidence that success overseas inspired our young ones to take up sports.
"We saw that with rugby and we're seeing it with football following the World Cup.
"Kids dream of being like these people."

But the resignation, and the weeks expecting every shift picked up as a favor to be the very last one, together with all the research and soul-searching leading up to it, have precipitated a fairly radical crystalization in my thinking about a number of things, chief among them the current (rotten) state of capitalism and the possible outlines of some alternatives. Corvus is a rather imperfect attempt to put some of these new understandings into practice.
But I should be clear: I do not "hate" the company I work for. There is really not much point. Some of my friends take a certain amount of pleasure in the thought that one of the Big Three book chains might fold, but, honestly, the only thing that could be much worse right, for bookbuyers and the publishing industry, than the present concentration, would be the sort of near-monopoly conditions if there was only a Big Two (particularly since one of those two, Amazon, isn't a bookstore in any meaningful sense, and gets its illusion of selection from its marketplace sellers.) And all of the bass-ackwards nonsense that have made the job miserable are really quite logical, given a remarkably bass-ackwards context. Righteous indignation and enlightened consumerism aren't going to address the crisis in the bookworld which is already pretty well upon us. Pity the poor big-box bookstore, at least a little bit, as centralization continues to have its way with it. They don't have much choice but to screw the little guys, and they would rather not, if they could help it, because if they concentrate their "key titles" too much, there are some even-bigger-boxes that are going to have them for lunch. Product diversity is the specialty store's friend, as is a variety of suppliers, but the "big-box specialty store" is a slave to two highly incompatible masters, economies of scale and breadth of offerings.
The upshot of all of this is that the big-box bookstores are committed, and in important senses have to be committed, to a dangerous strategy of putting their eggs in damn few baskets, all the while hoping it's not so few that they simply lose any purpose as a "specialty" retailer. Publishers and distributors are along for the ride, or left in the dust. And while some small bookstores have managed to wrangle a little rent-relief from desperate landlords or extra credit from desperate vendors, they're not really even in the same game. At a small shop I was affiliated recently, there was a belief that Ingram, the main new book distributor, had singled them out for changes in terms because of some bad publicity. Maybe. But more likely they had simply dropped below the business threshold where it made any sense for the Big One of distributors to mess around with them. Economies of scale eventually commit you to certain kinds of transactions and concerns, and make others simply untenable. And from the perspective of the small bookstore, those same concerns can change the business you are in so completely that a relatively complete reinvention is necessary.
I failed to reinvent in my own business, despite some concerted attempts. I found it necessary to leave the collective I was involved with when it became clear that they were collectively incapable of reinventing their business, in part because they weren't prepared to deal with it as a business, as part of an industry, etc. I still haven't solved the problem of how to restructure a brick-and-mortar bookstore sufficiently to much more than dream about reentering that fray, but I think I have some relatively clear ideas about what is presently wrong with the industry, and how we might begin a reinvention from the publishing and distribution side. The beginning of the trick, it seems to me, is to reintroduce product diversity, and to do so in a way that is both sustainable for the new producers and affordable for retailers and consumers who we have to assume are straitened circumstances.

I Thought It Best to First Go Home and Talk It Over With Boo
My gray Ford coupe looked a bit lonely waiting there all by itself, half in the light, half in the dark. Wasn't sure if I would feel better if the lot were empty or if there was some car lurking in the shadows. There were a handful of workers, sweeping, cleaning, readying the buses for the coming morning. I knew the lockers at the station were outside, situated in the brightest lights in the place, but as I started to pull the locker key from my pants' pocket, I thought it best to come back tomorrow in the busier part of the day. I just wasn't all that sure that there was not someone waiting there in the dark.
So I gave a good survey of the parking lot, pulled my keys out, felt for my gun that had been tucked away in the small of my back for so long that I often forgot that it was even there. But a check of its ready presence and my sense of security was restore. Then after fighting off the bugs that were swirling down form the security light, I unlocked the door, cranked the engine and drove off. And as far as I could tell, no one was watching and no one cared; I was hoping that no one even knew that I had been there and gone.
When I made it home, the lobby of Mallory Arms was hopping, well hopping for the Mallory Arms. The gents were playing five card stud, swapping poker chips back and forth, and going through a box of White Owl cigars. The ladies were filling three tables, two tables playing canasta and one playing Mahjong. No cigars here, just ash trays being filled with the ashes of filter cigarettes. They would wave as I walked in, but they knew I wasn't much for card night, or for that matter, any night of socializing.
The mailbox had not much of anything, my car insurance bill, a postcard from the vet saying that Boo MacKenzie was needing to get his shots, and a flyer about property in some place called Levittown. The elevator had the scent of a recent visit by Miss Sally and her White Shoulders perfume.
The hallway was empty except for a spider making a rather ambitious web on one of the milk glass sconces that provided some light for the hallway.
Boo was meowing before I even unlocked the door. That usually meant Boo was perturbed that his dinner was late. I thought, "Wait till he finds out that it is cat chow or nothing."
"Hey, Boo. Sorry I'm late, old boy."
He gave me a long, mournful, "Meow." But no rub on the leg, no patronizing purr, only a lift of the tail and a huffy stump over to the food bowl.
I gave him some chow, some milk, and half an Oscar Mayer wiener as my act of penance. For myself, well, for some reason, I opened a bottle of Cabernet that had been aging in my refrigerator since last Christmas.
Kicked off my shoes, stripped down to my shorts,went searching for a leftover cigar, but found none, then drifted over to the closet, pulled on the light string, and searched for that box of photos. For some reason, Boo knew I needed his advice, so he strolled. "Boo, you know I end up making myself miserable every time I pull down that box." I started to walk away once, but I came back. I made the long reach to the top shelf, grasped the box, took it down and sat to drink my wine and a measure of sadness.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Hunter Pence was acquired just before the trade deadline to bolster the San Francisco Giants' low-scoring offense at home. After going hitless in his first four at-bats on Sunday, he became the hero with one swing.
Pence hit a three-run home run to left in the bottom of the eighth inning to help the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 9-6 on Sunday afternoon.
"That moment is a big inning for us and we got it done," Pence said. "A lot of things came together for that opportunity to come up and I think everyone enjoyed it on our team. It was great for the team to come together late in the game and tie it up and win it, it was huge for us."
The Giants blew a 3-0 first-inning lead, yet managed to come back from a two-run deficit by scoring five runs in the eighth, highlighted by Pence's clout.
Prior to the home run, Pence struggled, striking out twice and also lining into a double play. He had been 0-for-10 for the Giants in home games before getting an RBI double on Saturday.
"That's baseball; you've got to keep plugging away," Pence said. "With this team we've got a lot of guys that are out there grinding. We're all pulling together so keep grinding and go out there and good things can happen."
Brandon Belt was 4-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI as the Giants won for the seventh time in their last 10 games to remain one game ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West.
"I think it was huge just for the fact that we battled," Belt said. "Now we know that we can battle and come back in any situation, and that's what happened. There was a lot of stuff going wrong for us, but it didn't matter. Everybody just came together and did what they had to do to get the job done."
With the Giants leading 4-3 in the sixth inning, Giants starter Barry Zito was lifted
for reliever George Kontos after giving up a one-out single to Jordan Pacheco. Kontos could not hold the lead, giving up a double to D.J. LeMahieu. Pinch hitter Carlos Torres got his first major-league hit and RBI when he singled to center, giving the Rockies the edge.
The Rockies added a run in the seventh. Dexter Fowler singled and stole second. He eventually scored on a sacrifice fly by Pacheco to put Colorado ahead 6-4.
In the eighth, Brandon Crawford hit a high fly ball to shallow left. Initially Crawford slammed his bat into the ground in disgust. But he would get a hit because shortstop Josh Rutledge lost the ball in the sun. Pinch hitter Hector Sanchez, after a long at-bat, hit a ground rule double that one-hopped the wall in deep center field. Angel Pagan walked, and the Giants had the bases loaded and nobody out.
Marco Scutaro flied out, but Melky Cabrera delivered in another clutch situation for his third RBI of the day. Cabrera hit a ball up the middle. Rutledge dived for the ball and kept it from going into center field, but it did allow Crawford to score to make it a one-run game.
The bases remained loaded for Buster Posey, who fouled off several pitches. On the 10th pitch of the at-bat, he flied out to left, bringing in pinch-runner Joaquin Arias to tie the game at 6-6.
Pence was the next batter, and he delivered his three-run homer.
"They played with energy and the whole key to the eighth inning was the lead off pop up that fell," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "I really believe if we record that out, that inning is going to go fairly cleanly, and it didn't. We were going to play the ninth inning with a 6-4 lead, but it didn't work out that way. Give them credit, they know what's at stake and they took advantage of the situation to lead the eighth inning off and beat us. That's pretty much what it boils down to."
Despite blowing the early lead, it proved to be an uplifting victory for the Giants.
"It's a euphoric feeling when you see that, especially the way that game was loaded with the ups and downs," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "A three-run homer helps make up for a few mistakes that we made today and we had some great at-bats in that inning. We found a way to tie the game and then when Pence's ball went out, it's a great
feeling because what could go wrong was going wrong for us. But the guys kept battling and that's a big win for us, and we found a way to win it."
The Giants sent nine men to the plate in the bottom of the first and scored three runs. Pagan led off with the double to right center. He advanced to third on a wild pitch. Scutaro grounded out to the pitcher and Pagan was caught in a rundown. Somehow, Pagan was able to avoid being tagged out and slid safely back to third base. Meanwhile, Scutaro scampered all the way to second base on the play.
The inability for the Rockies to execute that rundown proved costly.Cabrera recorded his 58th and 59th RBIs with a single to center field.
Colorado got on the board in the third inning. LeMahieu reached base with an infield single to short. He was sacrificed to second by White and scored on a hard-hit double to left field by Eric Young. Rutledge followed with a double down the right field line to score Young, and the Giants' lead was down to 3-2.
In the fifth, with two outs, Belt walked and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Ryan Theriot doubled to left and Belt scored easily from second base to give the Giants a 4-3 lead.
The Rockies tied the game in the fourth inning. Zito issued a leadoff walk to Wilin Rosario. With one out, Chris Nelson doubled to left center. The Giants elected to intentionally walk LeMahieu and take their chances with pitcher Alex White. But White is a decent hitter and he hit a sacrifice fly to left. Rosario scored and the game was tied up, 4-4.
NOTES: The Giants improved to 4-46 when trailing after seven innings.... Posey reached base four times and has hit safely in 24 of 27 games since the All-Star Break, batting .449 (44-for-98) with 17 walks. ...Pence hit his first home run in a Giants uniform. ... The Rockies fall to 5-13 in rubber games this season. ... Four of the Colorado runs were driven in by rookies. Colorado has 104 RBIs from rookies, most
in the National League.

The Stone GlobeMature
A man wakes to find a 3-foot diameter stone sphere in the middle of his living room. But its what's in the sphere that will change his life.
Jake fumbled through his pocket for his apartment key, forehead pressed against the front door. It had been a long night. He had gone out to the bar with his friends for his birthday and after the fifth round, he knew it was going to end badly. Even now, the night was turning into a bright, soggy blur. All he needed to do now was get inside and go to bed. Tomorrow he could deal with the laughter and the stories, peppered with awkward apologies, but right now he needed sleep. Jake swore as he dropped his keys. The light bulb next to his door flickered.
His stomach turned restlessly as he bent over. Jake looked at the silver jumble strewn in his hand. One after another he tried them until finally the lock turned and the door swung open. The anemic light from the hallway stumbled into Jake's dark apartment and collapsed just inside. Jake sighed and then followed. He felt along the wall, kicking the door closed after him. Not caring, he dropped his keys next to the table beside the door and stumbled blindly towards the bathroom. Until, quite suddenly, Jake rammed his knee into something hard and fell face first into his carpet.
Jake sat up uneasily, propping himself up on his arm, and peered into the darkened living room. He reached out for the table he expected to be there. Before his fingers could make contact, his stomach decided it had had enough and chose to mutiny.
With surprising grace, he shot up and ran to the bathroom. When he was done, and his painful fall forgotten, Jake went to bed.
The coffeemaker bubbled away as Jake showered. Stepping out, he grabbed the towel off the sink and began drying himself. Jake wiped his hand across the foggy mirror and met his own bloodshot eyes. Opening the medicine cabinet, he grabbed the small bottle of pain relievers and dry swallowed three. He wrapped the towel around his waist and went to get coffee.
He didn't notice anything when he went and grabbed his chipped college coffee mug down from the cupboard and made his morning cup. Nor did he notice it when he went into his bedroom to get dressed for the day, taking his clothes off the hangers in his closet and carefully tying a double Windsor knot like a cherry on top of his Sunday attire. Jake threw himself an awkward wink in the full length mirror he had hung on the back of his door. He checked his watch. When Jake left his bedroom, sipping idly on his coffee, he was surprised to see his living room occupied by a large stone ball.
He stood there, coffee cooling in his hand, and stared. Tortured neurons struggling to fire, all he could think to himself was well, that's not right. He approached it cautiously, putting his coffee down on the table beside the ball. No sooner than he had put it down, the table fell over sending his cup sliding into the base of the ball. There was a perfect semi-circle missing from his coffee table, where the ball was.
He circled the strange ball, his eyes examining the strange pockmarked surface of the orb. It looked almost like stone. Not marble or slate or any of the high end stuff you'd get on your countertops. This looked old. Jake thought of the statues in the park outside work, covered in bird shit and eaten by acid rain. There was none of that here. Aside from the shadows that fell on its surface, it did not look marred in any way. Completing his circuit, Jake noticed that the ball had also eaten part of his sofa.
He pulled out his cell phone and dialed.
"Yo!" Said the voice on the line.
"Dude. Not funny" Jake said.
"I know I haven't come out in a while, Steve. But what I want to know is, how'd you do it? Did you guys call someone to break into my house while we were out? I mean, how did you even get it through the door?
"Dude. I have no idea what you're talking about." Steve said, laughing.
"Seriously! You fucking destroyed my living room with this thing."
"Yeah, hold on!" Steve yelled away from the phone, "I'm at work, man, so make it quick. What the hell are you going on about?"
"There is a stone ball in my living room." Jake said, running his hand nervously through his hair.
"I'm coming over." Steve hung up.
Jake sighed. He called all his friends from last night but no one knew, or would say anything. Great, Jake thought, I have a ball. With nothing else to do, Jake phoned the landlord.
"You have a what in your what?" the landlord said.
"A big, stone… ball. In my living room." Jake said, trying to sound as serious as possible saying something this ridiculous. There was silence on the other end.
"This is not some joke, yes? Why you joke with Pavel? I am busy with working on Ms. Patel's sink, so if this is joke you tell me. Yes?" The irritation was clear in his voice.
"No. I'm not kidding. I have a giant stone ball… thingy in my living room. It ate my table! I need you to come get rid of it."
"How it get there?"
"I don't know, I just woke up this morning and it was there! Just come over as soon as you can."
Jake hung up the phone and sat on the other side of the couch, head in his hands. He leered grudgingly at the thing that had hijacked his living room during the night. The alarm on his phone went off, telling him he had to go to work, but he didn't move. He just sat there with it, as if one of them would have to leave and it wouldn't be him.
The doorbell rang.
"Dude! Open up. I gotta see this thing." Steve pounded on the door. Jake got up. As soon as Jake opened the door, Steve was clapping him on the shoulder and yelling. Neither of these things were helping with Jake's hangover.
"Whoa!" Steve stepped into the living room, eyes wide. "That's one hell of a wrecking ball you've got there!"
"Is that what this thing is?"
"I don't know, but it's a ball and its fucking wrecked your living room. Dude, is that in the floor?"
"What?!" Jake ran over to where Steve was standing and yes, the it was. The bottom of the ball was not sitting in the thick shag of his carpet, but through it, at least six inches into the floor itself.
"Shit. Are you gonna have to pay for that?" Steve rapped his knuckles on the side of the ball. A dull, slightly hollow noise came in response. "Is this metal or stone?"
"I don't know. But seriously, Steve, you guys didn't do this?"
"Hell no! But when I find out who did I'm gonna buy them a drink. This is one beautiful piece of prankery. I mean, this is beyond taking someone's car apart and putting it back together inside their house, this is eerie shit. I mean, look at your coffee table. Somebody didn't just cut that table with a saw. If they did, they spent half the night sanding what's left. Feel this. This is like baby's bottom smooth."
"I'm glad you're entertained."
"Impressed is more like it. Was this here when you got home?"
"Maybe? I tripped over something. I thought it was my table, but it could have been this."
"When did you say you left last night?"
"I don't know, around 9 I think."
"Uh huh, and we were out until 2…"
"3 am. Yeah."
"That means somebody did all this in six hours. This did not fit through the door, so they must have poured some kind of quick set concrete or something…" Steve rambled on, examining the carpet the way a detective would explore a crime scene, soaking in every detail. Jake walked into the kitchen and poured himself a drink. Whiskey sounded good, but coffee was probably better. He split the difference and took his coffee Irish.
There was a pounding at the door.
"Shit. That's Pavel."
"I hope you're not counting on your security deposit back."
Jake answered the door. Pavel wiped his dirty boots on the carpet outside and came in. His toolbox was full to bursting, the drain snake thrown over his shoulder.
"Where is this thing you called Pavel for?" Pavel's walrus mustache twitched angrily.
"Over there. Believe me, you'll see it."
"This… is beautiful" Steve was kneeling beside it. Pavel dropped his toolbox and swore in Polish. All Jake could do was shake his head.
"What you do? Why you put this here in Pavel's building? You can't get painting like normal boy? No, must be avandy gaurds."
"I didn't put this here. I just woke up and it was there. Listen," Jake kneaded the bridge of his nose with his fingers. "can we just move it and not talk about the 'hows' and 'whys'?"
"Look what do to floor! Ai!" Pavel slapped his forehead with his palm.
"I know, I know. Let's just try and move it." Jake loosened his tie and unbuttoned his collar. Pavel and Steve joined each other by Jake and the three of them put their shoulders into the giant stone orb.
"On three, ready?"
"Wait. One, two, three, go; or one, two, and then go on three?"
"Yes, we go on three?" Pavel said, his moustache bristling with his labored breathing.
"One, two, three, and then go."
"Ok" The others said.
The three of them counted and when it came time they pushed as hard as they could but the ball did not budge. They tried again and again, but all they managed to do was tear up some of the carpet near the base of the strange orb.
"It's no use. It's not moving."
"I make it move!" Pavel said, grabbing a hammer from his toolbox. Before the others could think to shield their eyes, Pavel brought his hammer crashing down. To everyone's surprise, they found themselves dodging shrapnel as broken fragments of hammer went screaming all over Jake's apartment, breaking a window and a vase.
"Dude!" Steve's smile was frighteningly broad.
Pavel stood motionless, his right eyelid twitching; his moustache blowing slightly in the breeze from the broken window. Jake got up from the floor. He felt along his scalp and picked out a twisted, slightly smoking shard of hammer.
"I get blowtorch." Pavel was gone before Jake could say anything.
"Dude, this is awesome. I'm totally calling out of work."
"How are you hear anyway, weren't you at work before?"
"Yeah, but I told them my Aunt was sick or something."
"Wait. Didn't your aunt die last year?"
"Oh shit. I think that was the Super bowl. Man, I gotta switch relatives." Steve pulled out his phone. As he dialed, Jake's phone rang.
"I'm not sure how they do things where you're from Mr. Lasko, but it's generally considered polite to show up to work when you're scheduled. It keeps unpleasant things like this from happening. It's the foundation of society really."
"Shit… ah… I mean. I'm sorry, Beth. I just had an emergency at home, and I've been dealing with it for the past hour."
"Emergency? What kind of emergency?" Jake contorted his brain, trying to find an explanation that did not end with either his termination or his commitment.
"Uh… Flood?"
"You had a flood?" Beth inquired, incredulously "In your apartment?"
"Your second floor apartment."
"Uh…yes?" Jake crossed his fingers. There was silence on the other end.
"Very well." She said, "Does that mean you won't be coming into work today then?"
"No. I'll be there. I just need…" Jake looked back at the ball "… another hour or so."
"See you then, I suppose." Jake hung up. This time, he would choose the whiskey.
Before he could uncork the bottle of Maker's mark, He heard more banging at the door. He put the bottle down and went to the door.
"Pavel?" he said?
"I bring more tools." Pavel strode into Jake's apartment with a blowtorch in one hand and a 30 pound sledgehammer in the other.
"You, funny man, be moving back please." Pavel dropped the blowtorch next to the ball and put on his safety goggles. Spitting on his hands, he rubbed them together enthusiastically before hoisting the sledgehammer high over his shoulder.
"Be looking out please!"
"Shit!" Jake dove behind the sofa. Steve stood next to him gleefully observing the action.
"Get down!" Jake yelled, but too late. He heard a horrific clanging, as if a tank had exploded in a bell factory. He covered his ears to escape the din. After the room had quieted down, with the exception of Pavel's inveterate swearing, Jake got up slowly to survey the aftermath.
There were slightly charred holes in his wall where the pieces of the sledgehammer had come to rest. Pavel was grasping the shaft of the sledgehammer in one hand, the end where the hammer should be was burnt and twisted. Jake could smell burning hair. As he walked around to the other side of the couch, he could see Pavel's mustache was singed at the ends.
Steve appeared to be unharmed.
"So… cool." Steve was on the verge of giggling.
"Ok, Now we try blowtorch."
"NO, no no! I don't think so. I don't want my apartment blowing up today, and besides… I have to get to work. I'm late."
"You cannot be serious. There is a strange orb in your living room, that seems impenetrable, and you're not intrigued by that?!"
"Intrigued? It destroyed my coffee table and my sofa, and if I stay here any longer, I'm going to lose my job because of it. No, I'm not intrigued. Perturbed. Angered. Incensed. These are the words I'd use to describe my feelings right now.
"Well I'm staying." Steve took off his hat and jacket and threw them on the broken sofa.
"Me too." Pavel added with determination.
"No, you're not. Neither of you are staying. I'm going to get my jacket and you two are both coming with me.
"Aww come on, man. Look at this thing!" Steve pointed.
Jake observed the alien thing that had crash landed in his life with contempt, its smooth stone skin mocking him with its flawlessness. Looking up, he met the eager eyes of Pavel and Steve.
"No." he said.
"Ugh… fine. But I'm coming over tonight after work."

A Football League referee has been arrested on suspicion of computer hacking.
Dean Mohareb, 29, of Stockport, was due to officiate at yesterday's npower Championship game between Barnsley and Peterborough United but was stood down.
Mohareb is a senior member of the Football Association's Referees Department in his role as national referee development manager.
It is understood the arrest was prompted by allegations relating to a colleague's email account.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "On Sunday 30 September, police seized a number of electrical items as part of an investigation into computer hacking and the dissemination of private information.
"A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of unauthorised access to computer material/data, under section 1 of the Misuse of Computers Act 1990.
"The man has since been bailed until November 26."
The FA has reportedly declined to comment on any matters relating to the arrest.

That person has spent over two and a half days playing multiplayer. In just over a week. That's a little ridiculous.

Hi everybody, I'm back and answering questions again! I took a much-needed weekend off, but I'll be around now each day so if you have questions, I'll do my best to respond!
To answer your questions S4, there is no such thing as "levels" in TLOU MP. One of the things we wanted to move away from was the traditional progression iconography and descriptions that people use to make snap judgements on whether or not a teammate/opponent is 'good' or 'bad'. Even though it works well for a lot of games, like Uncharted 3 MP, we felt it was too static for a game like this that can vary so wildly from one match to the next.
Instead, we have a small number next to your name. It displays approximately the number of weeks you have completed of MP for your entire career, not just on one clan loop. And again, this is no indicator of skill at all, merely a "timestamp" of sorts.
Straight from EvangM himself; the numbers are a counter of approximately how many weeks you have survived in MP.
Re: How does the ranking work
Completely ignored the ranking system since i was too busy trying to take care of my group. How can i focus on my rank if people like sofia petrovic (one of my fictitious clan members not real) are dying.

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- Percocet Treatment Options
- Facts about Percocet
Percocet AddictionPercocet addiction is a very serious and sometimes life threatening dilemma. Not only is it difficult for the addict, it is extremely hard on those around them who care about them. For the addict, admitting they have an addiction problem can be difficult. However painful this may be, it must be acknowledged as the first gradient to overcoming the problem. The next hurdle is being willing to seek & accept help from an addiction professional. It can be hard for an addict to confront the fact that they can not do it alone. Once this fact is accepted, it is time to seek the appropriate professional treatment. Drug rehab programs based on the social education modality are highly successful. This means that individuals who are recovering from Percocet addiction are not made wrong for their past indiscretions, but are taught how to avoid future ones. They are provided with knowledge on how to change their lives and how to live comfortably without Percocet. Receiving treatment for addiction should be done in a safe & stable environment that is conducive to addiction recovery. Research studies show that residential treatment programs of at least 3 months in duration have the best success rates. 3 months may seem like a long time, but one day in the life of an individual addicted to Percocet can feel like an eternity. Addiction is a self imposed hellish slavery. The chains can be broken people do it everyday. You can be free!
Percocet Treatment OptionsDrug rehabilitation is a multi-phase, multi-faceted, long term process. Detoxification is only the first step on the road of addiction treatment. Physical detoxification alone is not sufficient to change the patterns of a drug addict. Recovery from addiction involves an extended process which usually requires the help of drug addiction professionals. To make a successful recovery, the addict needs new tools in order to deal with situations and problems which arise. Factors such as encountering someone from their days of using, returning to the same environment and places, or even small things such as smells and objects trigger memories which can create psychological stress. This can hinder the addict's goal of complete recovery, thus not allowing the addict to permanently regain control of his or her life.
Almost all addicts tell themselves in the beginning that they can conquer their addiction on their own without the help of outside resources. Unfortunately, this is not usually the case. When an addict makes an attempt at detoxification and to discontinue drug use without the aid of professional help, statistically the results do not last long. Research into the effects of long-term addiction has shown that substantial changes in the way the brain functions are present long after the addict has stopped using drugs. Realizing that a drug addict who wishes to recover from their addiction needs more than just strong will power is the key to a successful recovery. Battling not only cravings for their drug of choice, re-stimulation of their past and changes in the way their brain functions, it is no wonder that quitting drugs without professional help is an uphill battle.
As an organization we are dedicated to finding the correct solution for your specific addiction problem. Our referral list contains over 3,000 resources which encompass the following treatment categories :
Facts about Percocet
Q) What is Percocet?
A) Percocet is a narcotic (oxycodone) and acetaminophen combination. They are combined to get a syngergistic effect on pain. Oxycodone is similar to other narcotics in terms of effect and addiction. Acetaminophen is better known as Tylenol.
Other brand names are Roxicet and Tylox. Tablets contain 25 mg oxycodone hydrochloride and 325 mg acetaminophen; 5 mg oxycodone hydrochloride and 325 mg acetaminophen; 7.5 mg oxycodone hydrochloride and 500 mg acetaminophen; 10 mg oxycodone hydrochloride and 650 mg acetaminophen
Q) How is Percocet used?
A) Percocet when abused can be taken orally in pill form, chewed, or crushed (then snorted like cocaine).
Q) What are the side effects of Percocet?
- drowsiness
- constricted pupils
- nausea
- euphoria
- dizziness
- light-headeness
- sedation
- vomiting
- constipation
- depressed feeling
- exaggerated feeling of well-being
- itchy skin
- skin rash
- slowed breathing
Q) What are the symptoms of Overdose?
- bluish skin
- eyes or skin with yellow tone
- cold and clammy skin
- decreased or irregular breathing
- extreme sleepiness
- stupor
- coma
- heart attack
- low blood pressure
- muscle weakness
- nausea
- slow heartbeat
- sweating
- vague bodily discomfort
- vomiting
Q) What is Percocet addiction?
A)Addiction is a major risk with prolonged use (over 2-3 weeks) of narcotics. Even moderate doses of some narcotics can result in a fatal overdose. When increasing doses of narcotics, the person may first feel restless and nauseous and then progress to loss of consciousness and abnormal breathing. Other risks include withdrawal symptoms that may last for months.
drugs activate the brains reward systems. The promise
of reward is very intense, causing the individual to crave the
drug and to focus his or her activities around taking the drug.
The ability of addictive drugs to strongly activate brain reward
mechanisms and their ability to chemically alter the normal
functioning of these systems can produce an addiction. Drugs
also reduce a persons level of consciousness, harming
the ability to think or be fully aware of present surroundings.
Q) What are possible drug interactions when using Percocet?
- Alcohol
- Antispasmodic drugs such as Cogentin, Bentyl, and Donnatal
- Major tranquilizers such as Thorazine and Mellaril
- Other narcotic painkillers such as Darvon and Demerol
- Sedatives such as phenobarbital and Seconal
- Tranquilizers such as Xanax and Valium

John Caple Comvest and Mark Klein IHP Innovative Hearth Products
SUBMITTED: Saturday, November 23, 2013POSTED: Saturday, November 23, 2013
John Caple Comvest has spent time and money helping Mark Klein "IHP" Innovative Hearth Products (firstname.lastname@example.com) try to suppress the following photos connecting Mark Klein Innovative Hearth Products' immediate family to those armed gang members who call themselves "Orange County Skinheads" and "San Clemente Boys." All John Caple Comvest (http://www.comvest.com/team_profile/john-caple-managing-director/) and Mark Klein IHP Innovative Hearth Products (who shirked all moral responsibility) needed to do was provide a $5000 scholarship to a Latino beaten for the color of his skin and fix that victim's permanent scarring. Instead, John Caple Comvest on behalf of himself and Mark Klein Innovative Hearth Products' engineered a six figure legal battle complimented by hackneyed subterfuge from two thousand plus miles away: John Caple Comvest is bloated with ego just like the violent punks who beat our friend with brass knuckles.

#2 General Comment
If this report was written by Michael Montrief it can't be true.
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, June 25, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, June 25, 2013
I don't know Mark Klein, but I believe this report was written by a Huntington Beach scam artist by the name of Michael Montrief. It contains his identification by use of his favorite words.
People should know that since the complaint was written by Michael Montrief it is undoubtedly not true, and on the contrary Mr. Klein probably went out of his way for Mr. Montrief.
Mr. Montrief is an individual who has made a large amount of money by scamming and ripping off unsuspecting victims over many years via gross Corvette scams as well as housing rentals. He was finally caught and charges were filed against him somewhere between 2005 and 2007. See news report http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=3637323 He has filed bankruptsy, and is running other scams by renting out foreclosing real-estate. By collecting rent in advance the bank cannot reposess the properties until the renter's time is up.
Mr. Montrief also hides two Toyota Prius's that are not paid for while waiting for the statute to run out and Toyota to give up looking for them. To verify these statements please Google Michael Montrief Corvette Forum to see the rip off car complaints and click this link to see renter complaints, http://www.donotrent.com/reviews/34031-silver-lantern-dana-point-ca In 2008 Mr Montrief received a cease and refrain order for running real-estate scams, http://www.corp.ca.gov/ENF/pdf/2008/equityfund_dr.pdf and later had his Real Estate license revoked. He is presently attempting to run a new real estate business called fsrefund which he claims will net him $100,000.00 monthly. This is how he slandered another victim in this very website, Peter Liegl, http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Peter-Liegl/Elkhart-Indiana-46517/Peter-Liegl-Mapletree-Transportation-Robbed-Our-Money-Time-Dignity-While-Smirking-Upon-908123 the following link is an ebay warning not to do business with him http://www.ebay.com/gds/Beware-of-buying-Corvettes-from-US-CORVETTES/10000000001004400/g.html
I am conveying this information because of my personal experience with Mr. Montrief in which he borrowed large amounts of money from me (a single mother), he never repaid one penny, then when I could not loan him anymore he began a barage of emailed threats stating, "I will teach you a lesson with a website you will never forget". and, "just Google "Peter Liegl" and then ask yourself how out of your depth you really are _____: If I'm not scared of a billionaire, who are you" etc., etc.
The emails contain threats to me and my children promising to build websites for each of us accusing us all three of illegal, illicit and immoral behavior and the threats go on.
Because of all this I believe that Mark Klein must have done somethig nice for Mr Montrief to deserve this Ripoff Report.
If you Google Michael Montrief you will find about ten websites all making him out to be some kind of a God or something. These are websites he created as damage control to repair his reputation in the internet. His letter to Reputation Management oDesk contains the following sentences, "Unfortunately some evil people have decided to artificially promote links that now appear higher in search results for my name permutations than those results would otherwise return". and..., "Please tell us how quickly you can promote these positive websites listed above to outrank all negative posts".
I hope this clears things up for anyone wishing to do business with Mark Klein.

The Health Protection Agency said the number of people reporting symptoms of the potentially fatal O157 strain of the infection linked to Godstone Farm, in Surrey, has risen to 79.
Four children remain in hospital in a stable condition. The agency has said it expected people to continue coming forward with symptoms for a period of time, in part because of the bug's delayed incubation period.
Tests have confirmed the E.coli bug was present in animal droppings collected from Godstone.
Of 102 samples taken by the Veterinary Laboratories Agency, 33 contained the bug.
Positive samples came from ewes, lambs, pigs, goats, cattle, ponies and rabbits, but not the pond water or sand from the sandpit. A total of four farms have closed their doors since the outbreak came to light at Godstone, where the earliest link to infection was traced back to 8 August.
The three other farms are: Horton Park Children's Farm, in Epsom, the sister farm to Godstone; White Post Farm in Nottinghamshire; and the World of Country Life farm, in Exmouth, Devon.
At least two victims of the outbreak are already taking legal action against the owners of Godstone through solicitors Russell Jones and Walker. And solicitor Jill Greenfield has also been instructed by a girl's relatives to pursue a negligence claim.
Among those taking action are the parents of three-year-old Alfie Weaver, who was in hospital with kidney failure, and Clare Zahra, who ended up in hospital after passing blood.
Lawyers say payouts could cost up to a million pounds depending on how negligent the farm was in letting customers visit when animals were infected.

Haystacks and Sunsets
... southern Washington and Oregon. They taste like a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry with a hint of blueberry . We love them!)
Off to walk the beach and checked out the haystack rock formations from a closer perspective. Truly amazing. Did a little shopping, and got in the car for one of our longer trips.
We stopped at a trail that was recommended by a local we met. ...
Charming Coastal Town of Newport, Oregon
Pulling into Newport makes you feel like you are in an East Coast Fishing town. We were pleasantly surprised at how cute and charming this little fishing village was to visit on the Oregon Coast. Then to cap it off, the RV park was the king daddy of all RV parks (seems easy enough, but when you visit enough of these parks, this was one awesome).

... Now on road to coast heading to Newport Oregon for some lunch. Seen signs for leaping deer and elk but no actual sightings of the real thing. Omg this car is so uncomfortable. It's like sitting on a park bench and my bum has gone numb.
Lots of trees & then some. Wanna see a bear. Bored with trees now.
Ok so we drive into Newport and I politely give directions to the historic beachfront but no! Chris wants to stop in some ****** makeshift car park. ...
