It happens to most people, a sudden unexpected payment needs to be made and you do not have enough money in your bank account to cover it. The payment may be a car repair bill, medical expense or a higher than expected utility bill. In any case, to try and cover the unexpected bill results in you being unable to pay other bills which can put you in a real financial bind.
Fortunately, you can take advantage of a special service known as payday loans online that can provide you with the money needed to cover your unexpected bill.
There are lenders who operate their businesses online to help people who need a loan to cover their expenses until the next payday. You can apply for the loans online by filling out a small application form. Then, if you are approved the money will be transferred to your bank account and will be available by the next business day in most cases.

Plus, because the typical payday loan runs from $100 to $1,000, there are fewer qualifications that are needed in order to secure the loan itself. While your credit rating does not need to be perfect, most lenders will want you to be gainfully employed and have a phone number where you can be reached.
After you receive your payda loan, you will need to pay it back in a pre-determined time frame. Most loans of this nature are generally due in 30 to 90 days depending on the lender which means that you can divide up the payback process so that it will fit into your budget.
Don't you know where you can get money quickly? Many Internet pages offer different ways of fast loan of money. Our goal is to be always there and at the moment when you need a monetary support.
The loan process is fairly simple and straightforward and your don't have to go to a local payday loan store. Plus, since it is online it means that you can apply for the loan at your own convenience and not have to drive to any location in your community.
Application Form: Most Payday Loans Lending sites in Texas or Regulated Lenders have a short application form which consists of entering basic information such as your name, how much money you need, your employment status and so forth. The form itself takes only a few moments to fill out and then you send it straight to the lender or the lending network depending on the site.
After a few minutes, you will be informed if you are approved for the advance. If you are not approved, you are generally not charged any fee and the only thing that you have spent is the few minutes filling out the application. However, most people are approved for this type of loan and within minutes you should be contacted by a lender.
Online Loan or Cash Advance: The lender will usually call and work out the details of the loan which consists of the amount, the interest rate and the time needed for you to pay it back. Here, you can ask questions and find out more about the lending process so that you full understand the loan that you are receiving.
Receive the Money from Regulated Lenders: Once everything has been filled out and agreed, the money is then sent to your bank account. You should be able to access it on the next business day depending upon the rules of your bank.
Most lenders in Texas of short-term loans will not require credit checks. This is great for those who have struggled in the past, meaning they can suffer getting traditional loans. However, the loan does go on your credit file, giving you a chance to show that you are reliable. Of course, you need to make the repayment on time to prove this.
Payday loans can be extremely beneficial when it comes to needing a little extra cash to take care of an unexpected expense, or financial crisis. Or, even if you just need a little help making ends meet one month.
A payday loan is a short-term cash loan that usually involves no credit check and no collateral to secure it. Funds are usually made available within a few business days. In order to receive a payday loan a consumer usually writes a person check for the amount money they are borrowing from the lender, and the lending company gives cash in place of the check (usually until the next pay day.) Once the agreed upon repayment date arrives, the consumer pays back the loan in full, plus all applicable fees.

Next week Christians all around the world will be celebrating the passion of the Lord Jesus Christ as we remember that nearly 2000 years ago Jesus died on the cross for the sins of his people. Today I'm remembering what Galatians 3:13 says: "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us."
The curse motif shows up in many parts of scripture. Adam and Eve sinned and were cursed as they left the garden. The curse they had pronounced upon them brought the effects of sin into the whole world and they were separated from the God that had created them. Remember that they had enjoyed fellowship in the garden with him on a daily basis until they had sinned. It was the separation that was the ultimate part of the curse.
Then we also remember when Moses led God's people out of Egypt and God promised to bring them into the land that he had sworn to Abraham. But before they went in God made the people swear to keep his laws and if they didn't he would bring curse upon them. There were several of these curses but the final one was that they would be driven from the land. Once again, separation from God becomes the final curse. This curse was realized as the people of God worshipped other gods and the Bible says they sinned more than the Canaanites who occupied the land before them. They were driven from the land by the Babylonians. They returned in a lesser status for a while before being driven out again in 70 AD by the Romans. Being cut off from God was the curse.
But God is loving and caring for his people. None of us can keep all his laws all the time so he sent his own Son the Lord Jesus to come and die on the cross for us. He became a curse for us and endured separation and being cut off from the Father for the sins we committed. There is now no longer an eternal separation since we have been reconciled by Jesus. Give thanks to God this week that the curse reserved for us was bore by Christ at the cross.

Towel Curls Exercise
Essential Exercise
Doing towel curls prevents arch strain and hammer toes.
Your feet are both durable and delicate. They play an obvious role in how you move about - as anyone who has ever struggled to get around with an injured foot will attest.
In this exercise, a person utilizes a towel in a foot exercise to curl the toes.
Dancers, runners and, frankly, all shoe wearers, will benefit from this exercise.
How to perform The Towel Curls Exercise:
- Put a hand towel on the floor, grasp it with your toes, and pull it toward you. Relax, and repeat five times.
- Work up to three sets, three times a week.
Take Care Not to Fall
You can do this standing or sitting. If you are at all unsure of you balance abilities, do start out in a chair. When and if you prefer to stand, stand near something you can hold onto - a table, chair, etc. - in case you feel yourself losing your balance. Falls are very serious, and the worst of them occur in the home. Always take care and precaution when challenging your balance.
Stability Self Test
Try standing on one foot - with something sturdy close by to grab onto if you start to lose your balance. What do you feel? Chances are, you will feel just about every one of your many foot, ankle and lower-leg muscles firing back and forth, flexing and relaxing in a coordinated way that allows you to maintain your balance. If your activity level has declined, the muscles of your foot and lower leg may be weakened, making you more likely to be at risk of falling. So if this little self-test tells you you are "wobbly", fit in some feet exercise!

text: LONDON, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pat Carroll, CEO of ValidSoft, a global supplier of telecommunications-based fraud prevention, authentication and transaction verification solutions, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Elephant Talk Communications, Corp. (NYSE MKT formerly NYSE Amex: ETAK), discussed the security risks of the mobile phone at the Cartes 2012 conference in Paris today. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120917/MM75872LOGO) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120917/MM75492LOGO) Since the first announcement of mobile wallet products in early 2011, there has been a rush for mobile network operators, banks, phone manufacturers and retailers to join the world of near field communication (NFC) contactless and P2P payments. However, according to ValidSoft's Mr Pat Carroll: "The rush to grab a share of the market has led to compromised security, highlighting the need for the industry to find a robust security solution." According to McKinsey (Global Mobile Payments Consumer Survey June 2012) by 2013, almost 50 percent of us will use mobile payments at least once a week – if not every day, and research from Gartner has predicted that the cost of cybercrime will increase by 10 percent per annum through to 2016 thanks to the rise of mobile devices and mobile-based apps. Pat Carroll said: "I am excited to participate in Cartes and view it as an opportunity to discuss industry trends in fraud prevention and technology. Fraud prevention and identity protection are of paramount importance for any banking or financial enterprise, particularly in the realm of mobile commerce, and I look forward to sharing my insights on the latest innovations developed to combat this growing global problem." With more than 25 years of financial services and technological experience, Mr. Carroll founded and leads ValidSoft with the objective of preventing fraud through industry-leading authentication and transaction verification solutions. Throughout his career, Pat has been at the forefront of industry thinking, representing organizations and industry bodies and participating in industry initiatives.

He was on the ground coughing up blood and looking me strait in the eyes. His hand jutted up quick as a flash but slipped back down to the earth.
A quick flash and the room went dark, the wind was silenced and I was alone. The voice was gone and Jehmundi was silenced forever. Slowly I picked myself up and began to circle the room looking for the staircase that contained the exit.
Going back up the steps was much harder than it should have been. Each step quickly tired me. The air began to freshen however, and soon the tunnel began to lighten. I was getting close. Cracks of brightness shown through the edges of the entrance. Who closed it and when did it get light out?
I put my full weight into the slab. Seconds went by and nothing moved. I was too tired and even if I had the strength there was no way to move the slab. I was so close to getting out of whatever this place was but I was still going to die. "GODDAMNIT!" I yelled in frustration and slumped down in despair. My life was worthless. Nothing I did had amounted to anything; death was going to take me easily.
Three days had passed. There was no way out. No one could hear me. My throat stuck to itself every time I attempted to swallow. This was it. There was no way to fight it anymore. My eyes shut. I was done.

Feeling overwhelmed and looking for a natural way to boost your immune system? There's a lot going on in the world today—and not just "bad" things—but also fun events as we approach the holidays. But all of this busy-ness can leave you feeling stressed out, tired, and run down, which can lower your immune system.
Fortunately, your body has its own built-in system to help keep you in balance. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there are 12 primary energy pathways or channels running through your body. These channels influence your energy levels, mental clarity, digestion, overall health, emotions, and more. While this powerful system doesn't come with an operating manual (unless you include the ancient TCM texts), there are ways to "reboot" and strengthen the system to keep your body healthy and strong.
Two Powerful Immune-Boosting Points
Your body has two pressure points that help strengthen your body whenever you're feeling run down and need a quick boost for your immune system. Practice these points daily—they take just 90 seconds to massage—and they'll give your body a surge of qi (life force energy) to help keep colds and flus away during stressful times.
And if you need a stronger boost because you may already be fighting off a cold, there's also a 5-minute reflexology cold remedy routine to use when you're sick. But for now, let's focus on prevention so that you hopefully will never need the reflexology routine for getting over a cold.
Chinese Medicine Perspective on Your Immune System
An article on boosting your immune system to prevent colds wouldn't be complete if I didn't explain the hows, whats, and whys. Let's look at this from a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective.
In Chinese Medicine, germs are described as "external evil" or "external pathogens," which is not all that different from the western perspective. When you're exposed to a virus, your body can either let it in or refuse it entry—so your body is a bit like a castle defending its gate. Your body can let the invaders into the kingdom, or it can stop them before they even penetrate the wall surrounding the castle.
In Chinese Medicine, the organ (and its associated energy meridian) that maintains your body's "wall" of protection is your Lungs. It is said that the Lungs disperse wei qi, also known as defensive qi. It's a special kind of qi that creates a barrier of protection against those pesky evil invaders.
Now if a few sneaky germs find a crack in the wall and sneak through, your body has another organ/energy meridian that also acts as a line of defense—and that would be the Spleen. And in Western medicine, the Spleen plays a role in supporting the immune system by producing white blood cells that help fight infection.
In Chinese Medicine, the Spleen works together with your Stomach to transport food essence (aka nutrients), and also clear out mucus. So in order to help your body repel the invaders, you need a way to strengthen your Lungs and also support your Spleen, which you can do through its relationship with the Stomach.
The Lung reflexology point is a key point in my 5-minute cold remedy routine, but it can also be used on its own. It's an outstanding standalone point for boosting your Lung qi, which then helps to disperse the wei qi throughout your body to fortify your body's protective barrier against germs.
How to Locate and Massage the Lung Reflexology Point
This Chinese Reflexology point is located on the balls of both of your feet. It is a rectangular-shaped area on the ball of the foot below the three middle toes. To massage this area, wrap the fingers of both hands around the foot, and then press deeply into the Lung reflexology area with both of your thumb pads and massage in small circles. After you've massaged one spot, move your thumbs across the Lung point and repeat. Be sure to massage the entire Lung area for a total of 30 seconds per foot.
This acupressure point is a classic that is commonly used by acupuncturists for treating patients for a wide range of conditions. This point is especially powerful for improving digestion and for boosting the immune system. It's also used to treat a long list of conditions, including: stomach pain, hiccups, bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and mastitis.
How to Locate and Massage the Stomach 36
Zu San Li, aka Zusanli or Stomach 36, is located on the front of your lower leg below the knee cap and toward the outer side of your calf, and there's a Stomach 36 point on each of your legs. There are four steps to locate this point, and I'll walk you through them for your left leg:
Woohoo! Kudos to you! You just located your Stomach 36 point. Repeat the same procedure (switching sides) to find this point on your right leg.
Another way to look at this point, would be to imagine that you are looking down at a cross section of your lower leg. If you imagine this cross section as the face of a clock, on your right leg, Stomach 36 would be where the hour hand is when the time is between 1pm and 2pm, or around 1:30pm. On your left leg, check for between 10pm and 11pm or around 10:30pm.
You can massage this point on both of your legs at the same time. Make fists with both hands. Reach down to the point, press your knuckles in, and rub up and down. It's not that unusual for this area to be sensitive, especially if you have poor digestion. Massage up and down with your fists for 30 seconds.
So let's sum everything up with your daily immune-boosting practice:
And that's it! Only 90 seconds each day to give your body a boost of qi to help protect it from external evil! Muhaha!
If you really want to stay healthy, you have to look at the emotional roots of why you get sick. Which activities lower your energy defenses and make you more likely to catching a cold? And more importantly, why do you keep doing them?
All the reflexology and acupressure in the world won't be as effective as simply eliminating the bad habits and poor choices that weaken you body. When it comes to catching a cold, it all boils down to one thing: doing too much. Before anyone catches a cold—with the exception of little kids who are still developing their immune systems and who percolate in a petri dish of germs called school (just kidding!)—the cold is always preceded by trying to squeeze in one more thing.
It's the extra project, saying yes when you really want to say no, the three late nights in a row, and pushing yourself when you need to rest. Did you know that you are four times more likely to catch a cold when you don't get enough sleep? A recent study by the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) found that found that people who slept six hours or less a night are four times more likely to catch a cold when exposed to a cold virus, than people who get seven or more hours of sleep.
When you're feeling stressed and overwhelmed, practicing the two pressure points in this article every day can help your body defend itself against invaders. But what's even better is to also look at why you're feeling so stressed and overwhelmed. What changes can you make so that your life is less busy and stressful? Your heart's probably whispering an answer to you right now as you read this question.
Listen. Your body will thank you.
Stay healthy!

Chapter Two
I bolted upright, breathing heavily, the nightmare still lingering in my head. I looked around the room. It was my room and the lights were dim. My arms and chest were wrapped with bandages. The door slid aside and a boy walked in. He seemed about sixteen, seventeen at the most. His brown eyes were stuck to a clipboard. I couldn't see the colour of his hair in the darkness but it seemed to be a dark red. He looked up at me.
"Oh, you're awake," he said. "Are you feeling?"
"Who are you?" I asked. My voice was hoarse and my throat hurt.
"Liam. You're Fallon, right? We've never met," he said, putting the clipboard down on my bedside table.
"Hi," I said quietly.
"Hi. Do you remember anything?" he asked, sitting down in a chair next to my bed.
"I remember... I remember being attacked. I... What happened to Landy?" I whispered, tears starting to form.
"He's dead. He was attacked by an enemy operative called Z, like you were."
"Z?" I asked.
"You were never told?"
"Obviously not."
"The girl with the marble eyes," he said contemplatively. "You're not the only... mutant. There are others, you're just the most heard of. We've all heard of your tales."
He smiled and leaned forward, holding out a hand for me to shake. "Let me introduce myself properly; L25-93, mercenary, assassin, superhuman – take your pick."
"You're like me?" I asked.
"In a way. Genetic mutation, engineered by our very own Dr. Waters. The others are downstairs."
"Others? There are more?"
"Quite a few. Are you feeling up to meeting them?"
I nodded slowly, still trying to take it in. There were others like me, other experiments. I wasn't the only one – and from the looks of it, I hadn't been the first. Pushing the duvet away, I swung my legs out of the bed. Liam offered me his hand, which I took gratefully. My legs shook violently, forcing me to lean on Liam for support.
"Did you say you were an assassin?" I asked, suddenly remembering.
"On behalf of the American military. Mercenary to anyone who needs me," he shrugged, as if killing people for money was normal.
I didn't say anything after that, just letting him lead me down the corridors. None of the soldiers gave us a second glance, like they'd seen other mutations before. Was it just me that had been kept in the dark? Coming to a set of stairs, Liam swung me up into his arms like you would a baby.
"You're very slow," he explained.
I scowled. He wasn't the one that found his father dead. Well, Landy was the closest thing I could have ever had to a father, being created in a laboratory and all.
Liam put me down and I tried harder to keep up with him, not wanting to be called slow again. We walked for a few more minutes before coming to a door. Liam pushed it open and gestured for me to go first. I glanced at him hesitantly and he nodded. Entering the room, I wondered why I trusted him, having met him only ten minutes previously.

Washington Animal Hospital
The Washington Animal Hospital is the oldest and most preeminent veterinary hospital in the Washington, D.C., area. Erected in 1886 on M Street in Washington, the Washington Animal Hospital soon became the veterinary clinic of choice for the powerful political elite of the nation's capital. The hospital has since treated the pets of politicians, diplomats, high-ranking military officials, and members of covert government agencies. The building has been featured in several films and television series, including Get Smart.
Today the Washington Animal Hospital has a full-time staff of four veterinarians and several assistants.

A fuel line is essential to the proper operation of any gas-powered vehicle. The purpose of the fuel line is to keep the fuel contained as it is moving between the tank and the engine. If the steel line is cut incorrectly as it is being replaced, it could allow fuel to be released, causing permanent damage to the car. Basic knowledge of cars is important when attempting to cut the line, but it is a project that can easily be done at home.
Things You'll Need
- Soapstone
- Tubing cutters
Find the fuel line that will be cut. Select a spot to cut the line and mark it using a piece of soapstone.
Turn the bottom knob on a pair of tubing cutters counterclockwise. This will open the jaws of the cutter. Only open the jaws enough to fit the fuel line in between.
Slide the tubing cutter over the fuel line. It should now be in between the cutter's jaws. Center the jaws on the mark made by the soapstone. Turn the knob on the tubing cutter clockwise, forcing the jaws to close on the line. Turn the knob another quarter turn once the jaws are touching the surface of the tube. This will apply pressure to the fuel line.
Turn the entire tubing cutter two times around the fuel line. Tighten the cutter's jaws again by turning the knob on the cutter another half turn. Turn the cutter another two times around the line. Tighten the jaws again. Repeat the steps of turning and tightening the cutter until the cutter breaks the line.
Tips & Warnings
- Always replace steel lines with steel lines. Do not use cooper or aluminum.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Update: 12/16/09 - This hilarious read was an even better hearing. My only suggestion is that you don't listen to this at work unless you can keep your door closed. I had forgotten that there was a lot of mention of body parts and the f-word so I was constantly turning the volume down.
I picked up this book to listen to while inputting data and to get me in the Christmas spirit. Not sure how zombies and schizophrenic B movie warrior actresses was supposed to do that, but it was still a good way to help past the time.
This was the first Christopher Moore book I read. I could not stop laughing. It took me three days to read it because I do work and have other things going on in my life.
Nothing like zombies on Christmas Eve, a talking dog (well, he doesn't talk per se but he does get well represented by dog thought), a really, really stupid angel, and a schizophrenic former B-list Xena type actress.
If you need a good laugh, definitely pick up this book. It's totally worth it.
A much disliked man dressed as Santa is missing in a small California town. A new good-looking man is appearing and disappearing around the town but saying things that are upsetting people. The town police constable trys to figure out what's going on amid his own pot problems and his wife going off her meds.
This was a wacky, humorous and irreverent Christmas story with quirky characters that have a lot of problems. I chuckled quite a few times throughout. Overall I enjoyed it.
Raziel the Angel* has the task of granting a Christmas wish to a young child. The chosen child is Joseph who earlier in the day witnessed a man in a Santa suit being killed near a churchyard. He thinks this is the real Santa Claus and wishes for him to be alive again. Raziel earns the description from the book's title by raising not only the man in the Santa suit, but all the residents of the churchyard. Now the Lonesome Christmas party at the church is a feasting ground for zombies. Merry Christmas.
This is the third book to take place in Pine Cove, CA, featuring a sheriff who smokes pot, a former actress who sometimes forgets she is not the character she regularly played in B movies: Kendra, Warrior Babe of the Outland, and a whole town full of eccentric and hilarious characters. You needn't read the Pine Cove books in order. This first time I read this book, I had not read the others and it definitely didn't impede my enjoyment of this book. This edition is the 2.0 Enhanced Edition complete with a bonus chapter which takes places a year after the events of the main story.
I loved this enough to reread it and will probably read it again for Christmases in the future. It's funny and a little naughty and very ridiculous. Treat yourself to "a heartwarming tale of Christmas terror" this holiday season. You won't regret it.
*who previously made an appearance in Lamb, also by Christopher Moore
Be careful what you wish for...especially if a Christmas angel is listening. It may grant it, but since angels don't get out much and have no real understanding of, well, anything, what you get may not be what you wanted. This short holiday tale is characteristic of Christopher Moore. It's full of juvenile humor of the 'adult' variety (by which I do not mean that it's intelligent or sophisticated or subtle). The cast of characters displays a wide range of dysfunctional personalities, from the pot-smoking constable to his wife, a former B movie fantasy warrior queen who has a tighter grip on her sword than she does on reality. And, of course, all are still plagued by the evolutionary drive that hits us like a speeding truck as we cross the metaphorical highway of puberty. They are characters to laugh at but not characters to empathize with. It's a bit more than pure slapstick, though. There is an underlying hint of social commentary about popular culture that points at it and laughs, but does so without further comment or criticism. It's just the way things are. That's us. Silly, aren't we?
This is the Christmas book for the Walmart shopper in all of us.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060842350, Hardcover)
'Twas the night (okay, more like the week) before Christmas, and all through the tiny community of Pine Cove, California, people are busy buying, wrapping, packing, and generally getting into the holiday spirit.
But not everybody is feeling the joy. Little Joshua Barker is in desperate need of a holiday miracle. No, he's not on his deathbed; no, his dog hasn't run away from home. But Josh is sure that he saw Santa take a shovel to the head, and now the seven-year-old has only one prayer: Please, Santa, come back from the dead.
But hold on! There's an angel waiting in the wings. (Wings, get it?) It's none other than the Archangel Raziel come to Earth seeking a small child with a wish that needs granting. Unfortunately, our angel's not sporting the brightest halo in the bunch, and before you can say "Kris Kringle," he's botched his sacred mission and sent the residents of Pine Cove headlong into Christmas chaos, culminating in the most hilarious and horrifying holiday party the town has ever seen.
Move over, Charles Dickens -- it's Christopher Moore time.

A humorous tale of what happens when a none-too-clever angel overhears a little boy, who, having witnessed Santa taking a shovel to the head, prays for Santa to return from the dead.

Atlantic City police had a busy 90 minutes Monday night, including several shots fired calls and the recovery of a weapon.
No one was injured in the shootings, but a police officer was hurt in a crash responding to one of the calls, Sgt. Monica McMenamin said.
The first call came in at about 9:15 p.m., when a woman told police a man assaulted her inside a home on the 600 block of Drexel Avenue, and that he may have a gun, according to the report.
Inside the residence, police found a loaded shotgun. Two males and a juvenile female were taken into custody and were being interviewed by police. Charges had not yet been filed.
At 10:10 p.m., shots were fired in the 500 block of N. South Carolina Avenue. The suspect was wearing a mask and fired several rounds, according to the report. About 11 minutes later, shots were again fired in the same area.
Then, at 10:30 p.m., shots were fired in the area of Vermont and Atlantic avenues.
At 10:43 p.m., Officer Nicholas Berardis was involved in a motor vehicle crash at Maryland and Atlantic avenues while responding the shots fired call in his marked patrol car. Both vehicles were towed from the scene, McMenamin said. Berardis and the other driver were both treated at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus, and released.
Anyone with information about any of these incidents is asked to call police at 609-347-5766 or Crime Stoppers at 609-652-1234. Information can also be texted anonymously to tip411 (847411), beginning the text with ACPD.

THE BABYS: The Babys Are Officially Back Together
The Babys, one of the great (and some would say under appreciated) bands of the '70s, are back with "I'll Have Some of That," their first album of new material in more than 30 years. It will be released on June 24. Of course, this isn't the classic lineup, original frontman John Waite and longtime keyboardist Jonathan Cain both declined to be part of the fun, but still gave their blessings to the refreshed crew.
Recalling the classic lineup with a performance of "Everytime I Think of You" from 1979

Now, it says due to a critical issue windows 10 might install incorrectly on my PC. It says "Air Display (Microsoft Something) MMDM (or something) v1.1" That is the only thing in the little box of errors. My family also has another of the exact same computer, and monitor (since the error has display in it?), which it displayed the get windows 10 icon and had no errors. What should I do? I tried a little googling around but I found nothing. Thanks, Nick EDIT: it says: Critical Issues ---------------------------- Here's why Windows 10 can't be installed on this PC.

Tonight (29 March 2017) a committee in Bootle Town Hall will decide on the fate of a beautiful little woodland in Ainsdale's George Drive.
For generations, local children have happily played in these green woods and endangered wildlife has found a safe haven. New residents and old will be crammed in like sardines if proposed development is accepted. The Council have admitted (in their well-concealed report) that properties will be, 'closer than the suggested minimum standard.'
Lynne stated:
"The report Pat has quoted from also states there will be no 1.1 ratio to replace, any lost trees and the trees left in place will probably go eventually as they will block light from the new properties. The distance from the brook to the development is also less the accepted distance but they have included the garden space in the measurements. On top of that the gardens are going to be smaller than normal as there is not enough space. I called this in for a site visit which will take place this week and Planning meet on Friday. The recommendation to accept comes with some conditions and is tight but it appears 18 new homes tip the balance. A mere drop in the bucket! Plenty of space further up Sandbrook Road where they are already building 21 homes. "
The narrow drive is already difficult for traffic, so it does not take a genius to see the health and safely nightmare that more housing congestion and vehicles will bring to this small area.
Legally-protected water voles, bats and birds utilise the area.
The woodland here is a thriving wildlife habitat, yet Sefton Council are 'recommending' that it all be cut down for houses that will in their own words only make a 'modest contribution' to the Borough's housing shortfall.
This proposal is highly divisive and has set the Community against the Council and OVH who desperately want to destroy this Southport woodland.
Residents kept in the dark over revealing Council report?
Residents are currently objecting to the fact that they have 'not' received all relevant information, such as the latest Council report that admits the following.
Concerned parties were initially informed that the majority of trees in the lovely little woodland at George Drive would be saved. However, the Council's latest conclusion (that most residents have not seen) admits that the 'majority of trees will be lost'. It goes on to say that new residents will want any existing trees cut down as well to provide more light.
The fragile UK countryside, that we all know and love, is vanishing fast due to terrible proposals like this one. When it's gone it's gone forever!
This entire situation is a total disgrace! Will the Liverpool committee 'do the right thing' and vote firmly against this outrageous, ecologically destructive proposal?
It's immoral, potentially illegal and basically 100% wrong.

In mice, device destroyed colorectal tumors and prevented remission after surgery
Approximately one in 20 people will develop colorectal cancer in their lifetime, making it the third-most prevalent form of the disease in the U.S. In Europe, it is the second-most common form of cancer.
The most widely used first line of treatment is surgery, but this can result in incomplete removal of the tumor. Cancer cells can be left behind, potentially leading to recurrence and increased risk of metastasis. Indeed, while many patients remain cancer-free for months or even years after surgery, tumors are known to recur in up to 50 percent of cases.
Conventional therapies used to prevent tumors recurring after surgery do not sufficiently differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells, leading to serious side effects.
In a paper published today in the journal Nature Materials, researchers at MIT describe an adhesive patch that can stick to the tumor site, either before or after surgery, to deliver a triple-combination of drug, gene, and photo (light-based) therapy.
Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology (EIMB RAS), the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry (IBCh) and a number of other Russian research centers have developed a new method of diagnosing colorectal cancer. The results of the study have been published in Cancer Medicine.
The scientists have created a hydrogel-based biochip to help detect bowel cancer i.e. colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC is the third most common type of cancer and it develops with minimal clinical symptoms in the early stages. Despite doctors' efforts, the 5-year survival rate does not exceed 36%. Treatment is only effective, and patients only have a good chance of recovery, if the cancer is detected early.
Diagnostic methods that are currently in use are not sufficient. Analyses carried out in vitro have low specificity and invasive studies such as colonoscopy are not only traumatic, but they are also not always suitable for an early diagnosis, as they do not give a complete picture of the development and distribution of colorectal cancer.
The method proposed by scientists from EIMB RAS, MIPT, the Russian Scientific Center of Surgery, Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, and Buyanov City Clinical Hospital is based on the simultaneous detection of various substances in patients' blood. These substances are autoantibodies against tumor-associated glycans, which can be found in serum at the early stages of cancer, immunoglobulins of different classes, and oncomarkers (molecules produced by tumor cells).

The Rabbi and the Hit Man: A True Tale of Murder, Passion, and Shattered Faith
€ 14,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Mai 2004
BeschreibungA fascinating true-crime narrative about the first rabbi ever accused of murder and what the case says about the role of clergy in America. On the evening of November 1, 1994, Rabbi Fred Neulander returned home to find his wife, Carol, facedown on the living room floor, blood everywhere. He called for help, but it was too late. Two trials and eight years later, the founder of the largest reform synagogue in southern New Jersey became the first rabbi ever convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. In a gripping examination of the misuses of the pulpit and the self-delusions of power, Arthur J. Magida paints a devastating portrait of a manipulative man who used his position of trust in the temple to attract several mistresses -- and to befriend a lonely recovering alcoholic, whom he convinced to kill his wife "for the good of Israel." "The Rabbi and the Hit Man" straddles the juncture of faith and trust, and confronts issues of sex, narcissism, arrogance, and adultery. It is the definitive account of a charismatic clergyman who paid the ultimate price for ignoring his own words of wisdom: "We live at any moment with our total past ... What we do will stay with us forever."

Ashok Chavan also criticised the Maharashtra government for increasing the stamp duty and for having only two cities from the state under the UDAN project.
Chavan, a former chief minister, also questioned the government's "intention" behind first lifting stocking limits and then imposing them again, when the prices had similarly spiralled in 2015.
Former Maharashta Chief Minister launched an attack on RSS and BJP during media interaction in Mumbai.
The Congress also plans to draw a strategy to raise its protest during the budget session next month when the Governor addresses the joint session of the state legislature.
In the Adarash housing scam, the CBI had sought sanction for prosecution of former CM Ashok Chavan under Section 197 CrPc on the basis of fresh material.
The Adarsh Commission report which was partially accepted by the government in December 2014, has indicted several top bureaucrats, politicians and defense persons.
The CBI, which had earlier filed pleas to drop Chavan's name citing lack of evidence, has now filed a fresh plea for permission to prosecute him.
In such a scenario, Chavan asked the government to pay the difference directly to the farmer's account.
Claiming that the party was not worried about the rise of AIMIM as a political force, he said AIMIM was being used by the BJP.
Ashok Chavan claimed that in view of the "unstable" political situation, the government could fall any time.
Former CM allegedly helped the Dardas regularise land that was 'encroached' upon in Yavatmal.
"My strategy is not to have any pre-poll alliance. If necessary, we can consider post-poll alliances," said Chavan.
While BJP did not field a candidate in Sena's support, NCP and MNS too decided against contesting the bypoll.
Chavan was talking to mediapersons after his first visit to the city upon assuming charge as state party unit chief.
The court added a lot of time had already been spent during the pendency of the application.

Part 1: Were We Wrong About Jesus Being Wrong About Eschatology?Early in my journey to a fulfilled eschatology perspective, I had the question, "How could the mainstream church have been so wrong for so long about eschatology?" I asked the question this way, because I held to the presupposition that God wouldn't let the faith I grew up in be in error about something as significant as the timing and nature of the coming of Jesus for "most" of history.I had the perspective that the majority … [Read more...]
Recovering Storytelling
Mobility is an ongoing issue, and church statisticians tell us that a church has essentially a new (not 100% new, but vastly turned over) congregation every 7 years due to individuals' mobility. The idea of being grounded in one geographic location will continue to change as people move and travel once again becomes both affordable and ordinary. For many of us who travel for business and pleasure regularly, distance of place no longer is viewed in the same light as our parents' and grandparents' … [Read more...]

I am blessed to live in a place where we can easily go up to mountains. Daily we can look on them and be reminded of how small we are and how mighty they are. Daily I can gaze at their beauty, take pictures of them in different light, see how they change in snow and cloud. Mountains are amazing. They make you remember the Creator and remind you to be amazed to see all that he has made.But I have also discovered that mountains are more than just something to observe.

Accompaniment as Emergence

@butts0989Locale: Northern Rockies
Well not so my surprise the permits for the JMT filled up quicker than i had time to reserve one. Does anyone know of any optional way to get onto the JMT, like a different trailhead or something? when I talked to the people at yosemite on the phone he said that it might be possible if you get a permit for a different trailhead. Is this true?Mar 7, 2012 at 1:04 pm #1850168
Paul McLaughlinBPL Member
If you don't mind starting somewhere other than Happy Isles, there are other trailheads you can try. You could start at Glacier Point and take the Panorama trail over to the top of Nevada falls to meet the JMT. Much nicer hike, actually – better views. But you may still be limited by the Little Yosemite Valley quota numbers even at that trailhead
Or you could start at Tuolumne and get right to the good stuff.
Or you can show up the day before your hike at the visitor center, bright and early to be the first in line, and get one of the 40% of permits that are earmarked for non-reservation.Mar 7, 2012 at 1:37 pm #1850186

@shortbusLocale: So Cal
TM is full up also, at least up till the 24 week deadline. All through trailheads seem to be full the day they open up. I am going to have to depend on a walkup in TM (there are 16 walk up slots available vs the 4 at HI). I think we am going to get up tere a couple days early, camp at TM, day hike from TM to HI, shuttle to TM and go to sleep. Then get up early and wait in line for walk up permits available either that day, or wait till 11:00 and get one for the following day.
I was also considering starting off in Inyo, but the thought of doing ALMOST the whole JMT makes me unhappy.
Edit for crazy run on sentence.Mar 7, 2012 at 1:50 pm #1850195
W I S N E R !BPL Member
I tried for TM also, couldn't get it.
I was planning on fastpacking the JMT, but everything I'm looking at is booked. Might try the walk up, not sure. I know I could get a permit Northbound, skipping Whitney, but what good is skipping Whitney and doing the Valley? I'd much rather skip the Valley…
Too bad it's all such a fiasco out there. My plans are getting reworked…might just go string together my own route. Or call Nick Gatel for some advice on desert loops with ZERO chance of other people.Mar 7, 2012 at 2:37 pm #1850226

@ngatelLocale: Southern California
There are other places in the Sierras that are just as beautiful (IMO), less populated, easy to access without permits or permits are easy to get. For example, click on Tom K's profile and read a lot of his posts. Or start further south. Might want to even check out that BIG mountain on the other side of the Owens Valley and then wander east to some really rarely used mountains. Get a big friggin' map and check it out :)Mar 7, 2012 at 2:39 pm #1850227
W I S N E R !BPL Member
Yup, that's what I'm leaning towards. Tom K. has already helped me outline a few possible routes that are a cool mix of cross country, drainages/lakes, peaks, and a little trail to string it all together.Mar 7, 2012 at 2:55 pm #1850247

When I was looking into a potential Plan B last year someone suggested Mono Meadow on Glacier Point Road. On the trailhead map it says "No LYV or JMT camping" but I'm not sure if that just means the first night.Mar 8, 2012 at 3:25 pm #1850742

Two years ago, mid July high season, Saturday morning I arrived at the Tuolumne permit office around 4:30 or 5:00 am. Nobody in line, next person arrived 1/2 hour later. By the time the office opened there were maybe a dozen people but I'm not sure how many were in their parties. We were able to get a same-day permit for JMT south, 4 of us in the group. I was expecting a next-day permit but happy to get same day.
Similar situation in 2008 at the Valley permit office for Happy Isles trailhead.
Since you have a couple extra days just arrive at the office before 5:00 AM and you should be fine. I find the front porch of a ranger station is a fine place to cook breakfast, brew up some coffee, and greet the day as you contemplate the start of another fine trip.
Worst case is you get to start on a different trail.Mar 8, 2012 at 3:34 pm #1850744

"Since you have a couple extra days just arrive at the office before 5:00 AM and you should be fine."
Better bring a good down jacket, because it tends to be pretty chilly there on the front porch of the permit office during the pre-dawn hours.
Been there, done that, read the book, saw the movie.

Ya I have been considering that. Sadly I think me and my hiking partner have kind of given up on it till next year, i think we are just going to end up hiking all over CO instead to save on cost (we're both poor college kids). Thanks again for all of your help on this issue, hopefully it works out next year.Mar 10, 2012 at 2:56 pm #1851721

Last year, Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend I was first in line at the valley backcountry office at about 4:30 in the morning. No one else showed up for at least another 30 minutes, there were maybe 20 people in line when the office opened, no one else I talked to was after a JMT Permit. I got a same day permit no problem and was hiking out of Happy Isles very shortly thereafter. I was prepared to have to get a next day permit as NPS says you will or even line up again the next day… just sayin.

I was recently asked if there was a way to reallocate an object on top of another one, or to change the type of an object at runtime. This must have been a somewhat common practice in native C or C++ programs, perhaps something that C++'s placement new facilitated. I'm not a big fan of the idea in general, and it can't be done in the CLR. Here was my response, with additional ramblings:
The only way to change the type of an object is to find the call to "new A()" and replace it with "new B()". This can be made easier by providing factory methods in some cases, so all your client code goes through a wrapper you provide and you allocate the appropriate data yourself on their behalf. But fundamentally we don't have anything like C++'s placement new to allocate B's on top of A's. That would be difficult to implement considering that B's are larger than A's and we've used the space after A for other data structures.
A similar approach we've taken to replacing an allocated object with another one is Array's Resize<T> method, which we could only properly design once we added generics into the language in Whidbey (generics provided very necessary syntactic sugar, helping you avoid a cast). See the code below. Look at how we use the ref parameter here – you might find a technique like this useful. However, ref parameters only affect the individual reference to an object at that call site – if you have multiple references pointing to the same object, they will still point to the old object, not the new one.
[ReliabilityContract(Consistency.WillNotCorruptState, Cer.MayFail)]
public static void Resize
if (newSize < 0)
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("newSize", Environment.GetResourceString("ArgumentOutOfRange_NeedNonNegNum"));
if (array == null) {
array = new T[newSize];
if (array.Length != newSize) {
T[] newArray = new T[newSize];
Array.Copy(array, 0, newArray, 0, array.Length > newSize? newSize : array.Length); array = newArray;
We had to design Array.Resize<T> like this because there's no way to reallocate an object _in place_ in the GC heap. Even if there were with some constraints like it must be the same type but of a different length, it could lead to security vulnerabilities. Imagine a race where someone read the length of an array as 1 million elements then started indexing in that array, and on a second thread someone reallocates that array to 0 elements long then starts allocating other objects in that newly-freed memory. Or if you change the type from one object to another of the same size, you could theoretically run into a race where another thread is calling a method, and suddenly the memory used by its "this" pointer changed to another type, (possibly) meaning virtual method calls called into another object! So even if we did expose this functionality, it would be very dangerous to use. I suspect we'll never build anything along these lines as a general purpose tool. (I've experimented with a technique like this once as a possible perf optimization for StringBuilder to shrink a String instance, but our GC architect was very, very upset. And the code probably didn't work correctly on IA64 due to the processor's weak memory model.)
Along similar lines, we also have added Interlocked.CompareExchange<T> (finally!). One interesting property is we can't make this work for arbitrarily sized value types, so we constrained T to be a reference type (note the "where T : class" syntax below).
[ReliabilityContract(Consistency.WillNotCorruptState, Cer.Success)]
public static T CompareExchange<T>(ref T location1, T value, T comparand) where T : class;
Another interesting technique is allocating memory on the stack or in a block of unmovable heap memory (either memory mapped from a file, a pinned byte[], or something similar), taking the address of that memory, then casting that to a pointer to a value type. We use this a lot for loading our NLS+ data tables (character sorting information, etc). While this doesn't allow you to reallocate something in place, it will save you some memory copies from time to time, and is a generally useful technique if you like C#'s "unsafe" code. (The word unsafe bothers me, because our more complicated P/Invoke code is also unsafe, even though it doesn't explicitly have to use the unsafe keyword. But it is still a useful flag to force someone to code review your work later in more detail.)
The complication with this pointer into some fixed block of memory is controlling the lifetime of the memory – you must make sure your memory stays around until your objects using that memory are freed. If you don't do this, you're back to all the dangling pointer problems you may run into in native code, and these problems will be slightly more insidious to debug if you have interesting finalizers, since the finalizer thread will be actively injecting race conditions in your poorly-written code. And the biggest limitation is arrays – unlike C, our arrays are objects and must be allocated in the GC heap. To put data into a managed byte[], you must do a copy. I've been wanting us to explore both a byte[] and a String representation where the data can be in another heap since 1999, but frankly I don't think we can do the String optimization now. (Perhaps one day we'll spend some effort on the byte[] problem, but probably not for quite a while.) Perversely, C#'s fixed statement on Strings locked us into an implementation where the character data is a (somewhat) constant offset from the pointer to the String, meaning that enabling fast pointer manipulation of Strings for external users prohibits us from doing the most elaborate pointer-related tricks with Strings internally.
I hope this helps clarify some of how the CLR is designed, and the limitations it can place on issues. Note that most of these restrictions still existed in C and C++, but you could simply break the rules and your app would mostly work most of the time on some platforms. Hopefully our added discipline (or handicaps) will make debugging a vastly simpler task.

Buffalo Bills (6-8) at Denver Broncos (8-6)
KICKOFF: Sunday, 4:05 ET
SURFACE: Grass
TV: CBS (Ian Eagle, Solomon Wilcots)
SERIES: 34th meeting, Bills lead 17-15-1 but the Broncos will be looking for their sixth consecutive win in the series. PK Jason Elam's 42-yard field goal as time expired lifted Denver to a 15-14 victory in Buffalo last season that kicked off the 2007 season. Bills last played in Denver in 2002, a 28-23 loss.
PREDICTION: Broncos 23-20
KEYS TO THE GAME: Bills QB Trent Edwards is set to return, and it will be interesting to see how the groin injury that sidelined him the past two weeks holds up in the below-freezing temperatures forecasted. Buffalo is seeking more stability than playmaking from Edwards, and will try to ease him back by relying on RB Marshawn Lynch, who has averaged 98.8 rushing yards the past five games. ... Broncos QB Jay Cutler would love to spread the field and throw the ball all day, and that's always a possibility with the Broncos minus their top five running backs. But such a one-dimensional attack didn't work well in Carolina. Look for coach Mike Shanahan to call for more of the short passing game to complement RBs Tatum Bell and P.J. Pope and at least keep the defense somewhat honest. Downfield, Cutler should target rookie CB Leodis McKelvin.
Key Injuries: Bills: CB Jabari Greer (knee) is expected to miss his fifth consecutive game; WR James Hardy (knee surgery) is out for the season. Broncos: CB Champ Bailey (groin) will be a game-day decision; RG Chris Kuper (broken left hand) said he plans to play.
Need to know: Buffalo is expected to use Gibran Hamden as Edwards' backup instead of J.P. Losman. ... The Broncos clinch the AFC West with a win or a loss by San Diego.
--QB Trent Edwards, who has missed two full games and half of another with a groin injury, practiced for a second day this week. He's on track to start Sunday's game at Denver barring any setbacks. There are concerns about the near-zero temperatures forecast and how it will affect his groin. But he's now again able to plant and follow through on his throws.
--QB Gibran Hamdan, the team's third-string quarterback promoted to No. 2, would start Sunday if Trent Edwards' problem groin acts up. Hamdan, a former NFL Europa player, has never started an NFL game.
--RB Marshawn Lynch was held out of contact work with a bruised shoulder. He did work individual drills and should be OK for Sunday's game at Denver, though it may be a game-time decision. Lynch has averaged close to 100 yards rushing each of the past five games.
--LT Jason Peters sat out practice with a sore knee. He is expected to play, however, Sunday at Denver.
--CB Jabari Greer practiced on a limited basis again. He has missed four starts.
--OL Jonathan Scott, a fifth-round pick of the Detroit Lions in 2006, was signed to the active roster. He takes the spot of DE Aaron Schobel, who was placed on IR last week with a foot injury.
--OT Ryan Clady missed a second straight day of practice with an ankle injury. He has said he anticipates he'll play, but he would likely have to show something in practice Friday for the coaches to consider activating him Sunday. Undrafted rookie Tyler Polumbus is the only backup tackle on the roster.
--G Chris Kuper has a broken bone in his left hand and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. The Broncos might hold him out of the game, unsure if he can be effective playing with a cast. Rookie Kory Lichtensteiger is Kuper's backup.
--CB Champ Bailey was limited in practice Thursday. He said he feels closer to returning this week, but the Broncos are still probably going to make him a game-time decision.
--S Vernon Fox missed two straight days of practice with a concussion. The Broncos might hold him out this week, especially because Josh Barrett has emerged recently at safety.
--WR Brandon Stokley was held out of practice with a foot injury. Although he hasn't practiced this week, he has been optimistic about his chances of playing. He didn't practice much last week but played against Carolina.
The Bills have been criticized for not practicing outdoors for the past month, but that wasn't the case Thursday.
With game-time temperatures forecast for near zero Sunday in Denver, coach Dick Jauron took his team outside to practice. It was only around 35 degrees in Buffalo, but it was colder than inside the team's field house.
"At least prediction-wise, it's similar to what we're supposed to get there," Jauron said. "Colder there, about as windy, and there was hardly any wind today. If we can get close to similar conditions, it makes sense to come out."
Quarterback Trent Edwards, who was born in California and played his college football on the West Coast, has struggled in the snow and cold in his two NFL seasons.
He's returning to the lineup after missing two games and part of a third with a severe groin pull. How the weather affects him is of concern.
"When it comes down to your groin area, it's pretty essential when it comes to dropping back and driving through the football," Edwards said. "That's something I need to learn from and get better at."
If Edwards re-injures his groin, the Bills are ready to play untested backup Gibran Hamdan, a former NFL Europa player with no NFL starts.
J.P. Losman, 0-4 in relief appearances this year, has been demoted to No. 3.
The Denver Broncos don't want a repeat of what happened to them in 2006, the last time they were close to a playoff spot.
In the season finale two years ago, the Broncos needed to beat a 6-9 San Francisco team to go to the playoffs. They ran out to a 13-0 lead. But the 49ers came back and beat Denver 26-23 in overtime, leaving the Broncos on the outside of the AFC playoffs.
This season, Denver wins the AFC West with a win over 6-8 Buffalo, or with a San Diego loss at Tampa Bay. The Broncos don't want to regret missing another prime chance to get to the playoffs.
"The more years you play, you understand the playoffs are something that doesn't happen every year," said defensive end Elvis Dumervil, who was a rookie in 2006.
Quarterback Jay Cutler said he doesn't think the Broncos will fall into the trap of looking ahead or taking the Bills lightly. Cutler was making his fifth career start in that loss to the 49ers.
"It is a totally different feel for me and a totally different feel for everyone in the locker room," Cutler said. "We have a completely different team. I have a lot more experience and the guys have more confidence than we did in themselves and in me."
