Time to Smarten Up Our Earth Day Messaging
Today, Monday, April 22 is the 43rd Earth Day in the United States, a day that was originally conceived as a kind of environmental 'teach-in.'
But I think it's fair to say that most Americans understood those first few Earth Days not as a 'teach-in' but as a reminder to clean up litter.
America made great strides against litter. It has also made great strides against air pollution, and water pollution. The country still has litter and air and water pollution. But air pollution in particular is now better than it was in, say, December 1970, when the Environmental Protection Agency was founded.
National carbon monoxide emissions are not quite a third of what they were in 1970. Ammonia emissions are lower now than then, so are nitrogen oxides, particulates, sulfur dioxides, and volatile organic compounds.
Both surface water and groundwater are cleaner than they were in 1970 thanks to the Clean Water Acts and the Safe Drinking Water Act. All this notwithstanding the fact that the U.S. population has grown by more than 105 million people since 1970.
Let me be clear, neither our air nor our water is yet what Americans want it to be, and the country still creates too much waste. I'm not arguing that we need to take the foot off of the accelerator in our efforts to take care of our planet.
All I'm saying is that it's OK to acknowledge that what we've done up until now in three key areas has led to marked improvements.
My problem with Earth Day as it's presently constituted is that there's too many emphases for people to keep in their heads. Earth Day is markedly more sophisticated in 2013 than it was in 1970. Trouble is, we've still got the same ol' human brains we've always had.
The Earth Day Network website lists 10 campaigns of emphasis: Vote for the Environment, Recycle Your E-Waste, Earth Day India, A Billion Acts of Green – Renewable Energy for All, Government Officials, Save Yasuni National Park, Earth Day 2012 - the 42nd Anniversary, School Greenings Across the USA, Building the Climate Movement, Earth Day 2011: A Billion Acts of Green. Plus, End Fossil Fuel Subsidies, Tell President Obama to Attend Rio +20, Campaign for Communities, MobilizeU, Reading for the Earth, and Know Green.
I was so turned off by the number of campaigns that I didn't even bother checking what they were about.
My Earth Day friends, this is too much. I know the earth's environment is a system and that a lot of improvements need to be made and made quickly.
But just as the human mind has place for two colas (in America it's Coke and Pepsi)…two smart phone operating systems; Apple and Android, and two beer companies; Budweiser and Miller… it has room for no more than two environmental goals at a time.
And don't come back to me with the exceptions.
Environmentalists really don't want to occupy the amount of space reserved in the human mind for Pabst, Dr. Pepper, and the Symbian OS.
This is made worse by the complicated calculus of environmentalism. Trees for instance, are good because the soak up greenhouse gasses. Until they die, decompose and release their carbon and then they're bad. Compact fluorescent lights are good because they produce good light with less power and (usually) last longer than filament light bulbs. Until they fail at which point they have to be carefully disposed of because they contain trace amounts of mercury, which is a toxic heavy metal.
Even paper versus plastic is no slam dunk. In places where plastic grocery bags are banned what usually results is an increase in the number of plastic garbage can liners sold. Turns out plastic grocery bags tend to get a second life as garbage bags, and that's good.
Here's my plea to the Earth Day organization and environmentalists everywhere; pick two things and keep hitting them until those two things are better. Then move to the next two things on the list. America is better off environmentally than it was on that first Earth Day 43 years ago. And it can get better still. But you gotta message it smarter.
And smarter messaging means fewer concurrent goals.

NHL 17 beta codes going out now - NHL 17 for PS4 News
EA has begun issuing download codes for NHL 17's closed beta. If you signed up to take part, check your emails to see if you've got one.
The emails actually contain three keys - one for you and two to share with friends. Be aware that it's quite a sizeable download, though, coming in at 17.9GB on PS4. Sadly, I haven't been able to verify how big the download is on Xbox One.
NHL 17's beta lets players test out the game's Online Versus, Creation Zone, EA Sports Hockey League and Hockey Ultimate Team mode ahead of its September launch, and is set to run until next Thursday, August 4.
The full game arrives on PS4 and Xbox One on September 13, with a trial expected to be available one week earlier on EA Access.

Website for a new and up and coming photographer in the middle Tennessee area, Rashida La'el Photography. Designed the site layout and integrated social media into the site. This is a WordPress site built with the foundation.zurb framework. Implemented Vanilla Masonry.js into the page.
We built this application for a company in need of a customer management system for their sales team throughout four branches. We took this company from using a spreadsheet to keep up with their customers to using a facebook like interface that makes it easier to keep up with their customers needs. This application made them more mobile while helping personnel keep up with things at their convenience and at the same time aiding them in staying on top of the market. The system includes a "past due" setting that tells a salesman that it's time for a customer to be contacted. We programmed this for them, making constant tweaks, over a period of about six months. We worked with one of the branches to come up with the main functions of the site and upon release helped with deployment and writing manuals for their custom online software.
This website is for a multi-use client who needed to tie many different fronts together on the internet. This page was set up to be the 'brains' of their web presence and host the clients blog.

The Charmin Chronicles: Bored Imaginative Ventures
Pen in hand, I gaze upon the virgin, pristine Charmin scroll,
that awaits in unwritten silence upon this porcelain throne,
this gleaming, timeless sculpture of pure white China bone,
so here I sit so all alone, one meager, humble poet's soul.
Furrowed brow, suffering mental constipation
This is the trappings of the monomaniacs
Oh, What I would do for some mental Ex-lax
to loosen up cognitive operation!
Within this ceramic palace, seafoam green and oyster white,
my muse, the fragrance of Powder Room Glade,
and these echoing thoughts, I pray not fade,
for my soul is raptured in this mirrored light.
Upon this, oh! my solitary throne,
Imaginative glances o'er tile not so sparkly white,
Sickly cracks and curious stains alight
Into twisted figures so familiarly unknown.

Chapter 2
I drifted to unconsicsnous sometime when we were close to the hospital.
I heard the steady beep of the heart monitor and voices talking.
"When will she wake up?" My mother's familiar voice asked.
"Sometime soon," a crisp, clear voice answered.
"I hope so,".
On que, I slowly lifted my eyelids, blinking frantically. Everyone turned to me, as if waiting for me to say something. I pushed my legs forward to sit up, but winced as soon as I moved. Oh yeah, I'm in the hospital, I hurt my leg. Memory of the pain fled back to my mind. "Hi." Wow. That's educational.
"Hi sweetie," Said my ballet instructor with worryful eyes.
I gave a pathetic smile, then realizing how lame I probably looked, looked down at my leg. My right leg was covered completely in a stiff, white cast all the way up to the middle of my thigh. I new I had a bad injury, but I didn't know it was that bad. Then something occured to me.
My forehead creased, "How long will it take for this to heal? Will I be able to dance soon? Will I be able to dance in our next ballet? Will I be able to walk? Go to school? What will I be able to do? Oh my gosh? WhatamIgoingtodo?" all my words came out in a rush. The heart monitor beeped faster.
"Calm down honey, all your questions will be answered." This was a nurse this time, the doctor had left.
My dad took my left hand. I hadn't noticed him sitting in a chair by the hospital bed. He had been incredibly quiet.
The nurse stuck an IV into the wrist my dad was holding and I felt the pinch of the needle. "What are you putting in me?"
"We have to put you under to do your surgery. Your foot broke so badly that the doctors cannot set it without open your leg." The nurse answered.
Surgery. Oh god. I hate surgery. I felt like jumping up and running out of the hospital, tiny dress thingy and all, but my body was getting heavy. Stupid meds.
She slipped a mask over my head that smelled like bubblegum. Anasteasia kicked in and I couldn't remember anything beyond that point. The last thing I felt was my father gently brushing his fingers over mine.

I reached the top of my cage. and Stood on a spike. The hole was almost big enough to fit me but not enough. I started to beat the edges and eventually they folded over enough to let me through. I wiggled out and fell to the ground landing in the warm puddle of fresh blood. I jumped up and looked around. There were lit candles everywhere and the walls were covered in blood with human skulls planted into the cement. I was deep in the sewers, with 3 gangs. Escape would be impossible. I chose a side and started to run, but was stopped when I heard intense laughter, echoing off the walls. I turned to the other side and fled.
The sewer felt endless. My legs were aching and I hadn't spotted a single dot of sunlight. I've been greeted with a face full of candles and blood every turn. "There he is!" I fell to the ground startled and saw the shadows of brute coming towards me. If he caught me I was dead.

The life and footballing times of Johnny Haynes, recalled this week following the death of the former Fulham and England player, will have struck a wistful chord among those old enough to have seen him in his pomp and aroused the curiosity of younger fans for whom the name is as remote as black-and-white TV and Gilbert Harding.
Haynes retired in 1969 but was in his prime, for club and country, between 1952, when he signed professional forms at Craven Cottage, and 1962, when severe injuries to both legs following a car crash on Blackpool seafront ended his international career.
The English game of the 50s now seems a lost world when dinosaurs ruled football, most of them sitting on the League management committee. Not a paradise lost certainly, not with players chained to clubs by the retain-and -transfer system and kept in place by a wage ceiling of £20 a week.
There has rarely been a time when football has not appeared to be heading for hell in a handcart, but in the early 60s the voices of doom had a case. Indeed the words of Ivan Sharpe, writing in the Empire News and Sunday Chronicle Football Annual for 1960-61, bear an uncanny resemblance to some present complaints. "Relegation has become a nightmare and avoiding it the main objective," he observed. "Defensive play has dominated thought and action." He envisaged "a Premier Division with a maximum of 20 clubs paying higher wages", which is what the English game now has, along with an even greater dread of being relegated.
The Premiership was still a long way off but in the early 60s the times did change and rapidly. The maximum wage was abolished and the retain-and-transfer system declared illegal after George Eastham challenged it in the High Court. Haynes became the first English footballer to be paid £100 a week.
Players had gained the freedom to earn what they could where they could, although full freedom of contract was not achieved until 1978 when, as part of the deal, the Professional Footballers' Association agreed to lift its ban on imports.
In 1995 the Bosman ruling by the European Court of Justice barred transfer fees for players out of contract and removed the limit on the number of foreigners clubs could field. There might not have been much of a paradise to lose but for the leading players and their agents, this was a paradise gained.
Yet something precious has been lost compared with Haynes' days, for no longer does Middle England play a significant role in the prevailing patterns of the game or the careers of the more successful footballers. It is hard to imagine, for example, a player of Haynes' class spending his entire career with a relatively modest club even if Fulham did multiply his pay packet five times once the ceiling had been removed.
David Beckham was spotted and adopted by Manchester United and developed in their youth team. When Fulham first set eyes on Haynes they did not have a youth team. Before turning pro he played for Feltham in the Middlesex League, Wimbledon (then an amateur club) in the Isthmian League and Woodford Town in the Delphian League.
Iniquitous though the retain-and-transfer system was, since it denied employees the basic right to change jobs, and increasingly ludicrous though the wage ceiling became, the system did have the effect of spreading talent around. In the 1950-51 season Everton, with just under 43,000, had the highest average league attendance. Yet Blackpool enjoyed the biggest gates away from home, averaging nearly 46,000, because everyone wanted to see the two Stans, Matthews and Mortensen.
Overall the football in the Premiership is better than in the 50s, and of course it is faster. The foreign influx has helped to raise standards, although watching West Ham's Tomas Repka give the ball away three times in succession last Sunday one began to have doubts.
Andy Cole's superbly-taken first goal for Manchester City in the same match was as good as anything that will be seen in the Champions League this season, Thierry Henry's wicked curler for Arsenal in Prague on Tuesday notwithstanding, and Wayne Rooney sets the blood racing, for one reason or another, whenever he moves on to the ball.
Yet compared with Haynes' time the base of English excellence has shrunk. Ideally Sven-Goran Eriksson wants players who appear regularly in the Champions League which means that his selection is, for the most part, restricted to Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, not to mention Real Madrid.
To play in the World Cup a modern Haynes would need to sign for a club likely to finish in the top four or move to one soon. The first season Fulham paid him £100 a week they avoided relegation by a point and yet he was still there seven years later. Chelsea, incidentally, were one of the two teams to go down that year. And at the time would-be Russian oligarchs were often shot.

The Ojai Film Society was founded in 1988, to screen quality, independent, classic and foreign films to the Ojai Valley community. Since the untimely closing of the Ojai Playhouse more than 2 ½ years ago, we have struggled to continue our mission on a regular weekly basis. In the process, we have been losing money at a rate of low-five figures per year. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we have a fiduciary obligation to responsibly manage the assets of the Film Society.
At this time, without viable revenue, we cannot continue to support the administrative infrastructure necessary for maintaining regular weekly movies. Therefore, we must temporarily suspend our weekly Sunday-afternoon movie series until a venue becomes available that will allow us to reach a larger audience, and generate a modest yearly profit.
However, the Ojai Film Society has not closed its doors. We will be continuing our successful Young Filmmakers Competition as in years past. Additionally, we will still have select Film Society showings throughout the calendar year at various Ojai venues. Most importantly, we will redirect our efforts toward making sure that this community—a place of beauty, art and culture—has a permanent place where we all can share the gift of movies.
Our last regularly scheduled movie will be Chicken People at the Ojai Art Center on February 19 at 5 p.m. Please come out and enjoy.
Thank you all for your unwavering support of the Ojai Film Society. We have enjoyed serving each one of you.

London, January 3 (ANI): Footie ace Steven Gerrard reportedly got into trouble after misplacing his wife's set of bangles worth 100,000 pounds.
The 29-year-old Liverpool star was said to have ordered a new set from posh jewellers David M Robinson to replace the sparklers.
"Alex told Stevie to pick up the bangles for her before he went training. She'd had them cleaned and wanted them sparkling for Christmas. But somehow he managed to lose them," the Daily Star quoted his friend as saying.
"He doesn't know whether he put them down somewhere or whether they dropped out of his motor or what. But it's going to cost a nice little 100,000 pounds- that's how much they were worth.
"Obviously Alex was fuming. You know what girls are like with their jewellery," the friend added. (ANI)

Hello, I'm doing the EPQ (Extended Project Qualification). I wish to study Primary School Teaching at university so want to base the project around children. I will be making artefact - such as a book, campaign or video, then writing a 1000 word report on my findings and research.
I have thought of three possible titles for the project, however I need three objectives for each title to try and meet when I carry out the project. I will pick one title and work towards achieving the objectives I have set then evaluating whether I have done this at the end.
My problem is, I can't think of many objectives for each potential title!!!
I wondered if anyone had any ideas to help think of suitable objectives also anything to edit on the objectives already written. It would be interesting to know if anyone is doing/has done a project similar to this and what they did/were thinking of doing.
This is all I have so far,
My potential titles are:
Can I make a children's story book teaching internet safety
Plan and research a book to teach children about internet safety
Can I raise internet safety awareness to children
Can I make a campaign for internet safety awareness
Research and plan a campaign aimed at educating children on internet safety
Make a campaign fit with campaign video, flyers, posters aimed at children
Can I make a children's story book
Make a story book suitable for children
Plan and research children story books
Read book to target audience

Massage after fat transfer one month post op?
Today is one month post op from when I got fat transfer for fuller cheeks as well as a jaw reduction. The clinic I went to provided heated massages to reduce swelling once every week, but they always avoided the cheek area and only focused on my jaw. Today was the last treatment and a new employee did the heat massage on the cheeks as well. Would this compromise the fat transfer in my cheeks? I know some doctors recommended massaging fat transfer areas while others do not.

Fat grafting
Thanks for your question. There are many successful recipes for post operative care following fat grafting. I do like to recommend massage, but not sure that the heat makes any difference. I highly doubt any of the treatments you had will compromise your results. I would suggest seeing your surgeon here in the next few weeks for follow up. Best wishes.

Get all the tips you need to win your next home game
Poker Home Game Psychology :
Poker psychology is a complex subject in many live and online poker games, where players are constantly trying to figure out how their opponents' minds work. Your average home-game player, in contrast, is more concerned with trying all the different snack mixes than what's happening on the poker table. But while home-game poker psychology is less sophisticated than typical live casino/online games, understanding it certainly helps you win more money from your friends. So let's discuss how you can gain the poker-psychology upper hand by manipulating the environment, bluffing your fellow gamers and ensuring that you always play your best.
Influence Your Home Poker Game: Sight, Smells And Sounds
If you're the host, then you can really rig the game for yourself! We're not talking about marking cards or any form of cheating, but rather gaining a psychological edge by manipulating certain factors.
Research has proven that people are more likely to engage in immoral behaviour when lights are dimmer. So if you want to loosen up your poker game and encourage risky bluffs from your opponents, dim the lights and play premium hands to collect their money. On the other hand, if you're a loose-aggressive player, you can keep the lights bright and make your opponents play much tighter.
Also consider the way the room smells where you're holding a poker game. A psychology study found that a simple citrus scent makes people very generous. How this translates to poker is up for debate, but you could surmise that your mates will let their guards down and not care about losing as much in a citrusy room.
Finally, the music you play can also have an effect on other players. This is especially the case if the music has lyrics that the other players will listen to, thus distracting them from the action. Meanwhile, if you've already heard the songs lots of time before, you're less likely to be thrown off your game.
Remember that even if you're not hosting the game, you can still manipulate some of these factors by turning on an extra light or two and changing the music volume.
How To Bluff — and Avoid Getting Bluffed:
There's nothing more psychological in poker than bluffing. Of course, to successfully bluff the average home-game player, you need to understand how their mind works.
First off, your friends aren't usually going to fold to a 3x the big blind pre-flop bet like a live or online player might. Standard home-game stakes just aren't high enough to scare most players and they want action. So if you try bluffing or semi-bluffing with a small pre-flop bet, chances are you'll get 4-5 callers who want to see the flop. A better idea is to wait until after the flop, when many home-game players imply their hand strength by checking or betting.
Long-time poker author Ed Miller suggests this is especially easy to do if an opponent bets pre-flop then suddenly start checking. This indicates that their once-strong hand has missed the board and they're likely to fold. So even if your hand is weak after the flop, you can bluff (if they check) and steal the pot. If you bet half the pot in these situations, you only need to force your opponent to fold 33 percent of the time to earn a long-term profit.
Assuming your home game is a sit-and-go (SNG) format, another opportune time to bluff is in the late stages of the tourney. Most of your mates are merely trying to make it into the money, so they'll play less aggressively as the SNG winds down to the final 4-5 players. This is when you can open up the range of hands you're playing, bet more aggressively and force players to fold as they tighten up.
By now you may also be wondering if the famed 'poker face' plays a role in bluffing your friends out of their money. And the truth is that it does play a role...just not how you've seen Hollywood portray it. A study revealed that rather than trying to give opponents an emotionless, icy stare to conceal your bluffs, you're better off keeping a positive face that conveys trustworthiness.
And this fits in better with the whole concept of a home poker game anyways, where socialising and fun take precedent over mimicking poker pros.
So how do you avoid becoming a bluff victim yourself? One of the easiest ways to avoid getting tricked by your friends involves watching their arms. In 2013, Tufts University discovered that arms — not facial expressions — reveal the most about their hand strength.
Specifically, when opponents are timid in their arm movements, they are showing less confidence and more likely to be bluffing. On the contrary, fluid arm motions indicate confidence and good hand strength.
Playing Your Best In Home Games:
Not everything regarding home-game poker psychology has to do with bluffing and your opponents. It's also highly important to make sure that you're in the right mindset to play your best.
Much of this begins with simply being positive at the table. Chances are that chatting with and being around your friends will keep your spirits up. But, no matter the stakes, a long string of bad cards and constantly losing will cloud your future judgement. So if luck isn't going your way, a simple trick is to smile and think about positive things. Research from the University of Michigan State shows that this simple action tricks your brain into feeling more positive, which keeps you playing better poker.
Another factor to consider is alcohol consumption, which is especially prevalent in home games. We're all well aware that too many drinks will force you into reckless decisions at the poker table. But does this mean that you can't enjoy a few pints with your mates while playing? Absolutely not! In fact, a study from the University of Chicago shows that two beers actually increases your ability to think on multiple levels. Further research from the University of Manitoba shows that moderate alcohol consumption won't negatively impact your decision making.
Poker is definitely a mind game that features plenty of psychological elements. And the better you master these concepts — from bluffing to setting up the perfect home game (for yourself) — the more money you stand to make off your friends.

Three out of four first-time buyers in London are "bamboozled" by the government's low-cost housing schemes, according to research commissioned by the Mayor of London.
Boris Johnson wants affordable housing rules simplified and income limits raised from £60,000 to £75,000 for joint applicants.
A poll by Ipsos MORI showed the schemes to be so "shrouded in confusion", many low- and middle-income Londoners fail to use them.
Seventy-five per cent of eligible Londoners wrongly believe the maximum qualifying salary for a single person is £30,000 (half the actual limit), while 50 per cent mistakenly believe they have to be a key worker to qualify. Most schemes are open to anyone with earnings between £20,000 and £60,000.
Applicants often believe the process will be slow and difficult, though all government-funded schemes are easily accessed through only two official agents for London - Metropolitan Home Ownership and London & Quadrant (see www.housingoptions.co.uk.
Under the Government's Housing Options plan, first-time buyers can take advantage of one of several competing low-cost schemes ranging from shared ownership, offered by housing associations, to New Build HomeBuy, offered by private developers. Rent-Now-Buy-Later is also available.
Ron Lawrence, chair of the tenants' committee at Shepherd's Bush Housing Association, criticised the Mayor's proposal to increase the HomeBuy income threshold to £75,000, arguing the policy emphasis should be on providing affordable rents.
"If you need an income of £75,000 to get on the property ladder then clearly homes are still not affordable. What we need is decent and genuinely affordable rented housing. A lot of people have been lured into shared ownership who cannot afford it."

Re: Why doesn't the PS3 Slim play PS2 games?

The only option I could foresee at this time would be for Sony, or third-party, to develop a software emulation using a virtual machine software, and make it an icon on the home screen, so that when you click it, you pretty much are taken out of the PS3, and can only play PS2/PS1 games. This could be a little cumbersome, and take a lot of memory, so a cost would be implemented to accomodate the software patch. And I think that a minimum HDD size would have to be implemented for the patch (500 Gb HDD). But with the emergence, and popularity, of virtual machine software, I do not see how it would take much to make it work.
If this was easy to do, it would have happened a long time ago....
Re: Why doesn't the PS3 Slim play PS2 games?
I'll say this, when I got my first PS3 (the BC one) I was playing PS2 games like it was yesteryear. Games like Socom and Final Fantasy XII. I bought the adaptor so I could transfer all my data over.
Now I own a slim version as well and haven't even had time to play my beloved PS2 games. There are some I still want to play and I'll purchase them occasionally, but with the amount of great games coming out lately (Assassin's Creed 3, Ragnarok Odyssey, PSASBR, Halo, and many others) I just can't find time to play those older titles.
The PS2 feature is great, but I think it's only good for those who just hate the games made for this generation of consoles.
152 PS3 games - 564 PS2 games - 72 PS1 games - 202 PSP games - 11 PS Vita games
Over 1,100 games total
Re: Why doesn't the PS3 Slim play PS2 games?
I dont' know if it's been said, not reading 7+ pages to find out, but the HARDWARE for BC with PS2 games was taken out among other things like 2 usb slots and the memory card reader in order to allow more airflow, cut down on heat (the fats were like an oven within an hour i believe), and of course to cut costs so they dont' lose so much on each one sold. The FAT was ridiculous.. it actually COST them 800 to make them I think (or 600)..... You want to play PS2 games then ya... get a PS2. I have two of them lol. One's in a closet as a backup. Although I still have to replace the lens or w/e on it rofl.
Re: Why doesn't the PS3 Slim play PS2 games?
The reason it has a PS2 MemCard is because you can buy some classic PS2 games on the PSStore and save them on that MemCard. Also I too think that the removal of backwards compatibility is an outrage. Sony better bring it up! I also hate the removal of the OtherOS feature. But I guess right now we have to deal with it.

My understanding is that the PS2 Classics you buy on PSN don't use the PS2 virtual memory cards you can make on the PS3. That function is simply a carryover from the older PS3 models...
Re: Why doesn't the PS3 Slim play PS2 games?[ Edited ]
Sony having the Internal PS2 Memory Card on non-BC systems isn't an important issue with them I believe. Nintendo has done the same thing with the Wii.
When they released the Wii Family Edition that was non-BC with Nintendo Gamecube games or accessories (which is now the only model in production) they didn't update their menu either.
Disc Channel still displays a generic Wii disc and a Gamecube disc image when loading a game or when no game is present. If you attempt to put a Gamecube disc in the system will eject it immediatly despite showing the image on screen. The non-BC Wii's still have the Gamecube Memory Card manager in their menu as well but is useless since it has no slots for a Gamecube Memory Card.
At least with Sony users of the non-BC PlayStations can still make use of the Internal PS2 Memory Card. When I had a 1st Gen Slim this is what I did after finding a Memory Card Adaptor on eBay.
-Had an Internal PS2 Card for all my backed up PS1 saves.
--- You can't use this card for PS1 games however in order to use the data you would need to transfer it to an Internal PS1 Card. I don't like a lot of stuff on the menu so this helped me reduce clutter.
-Used the Internal PS2 Card to back up PS2 data not being used.
--- I only have one physical PS2 Card now since one of my friends needed a replacement card.
So even though the non-BC PS3s can't play PS2 games there are several ways to make use of this feature unlike Nintendo who just left all the Gamecube menus on the non-BC Wii and you can't use them.
Now for PSN PS1 games you will need to create an Internal PS1 Card.
For PS2 Classics from PSN you don't need the internal PS2 Card since each game saves its data under "System Data Utility (PS2)"
Re: Why doesn't the PS3 Slim play PS2 games?
The internal PS2 memory card is still there for the users who still have a PS3 that is capable of playing PS2 games. It's more practical for Sony to have everyone use the same firmware, rather than develop two different versions.
Re: Why doesn't the PS3 Slim play PS2 games?
Yeah, I have not downloaded the PS2 memory card on my slim and it saves everything fine. So I too think it is simply for the BC PS3's
Re: Why doesn't the PS3 Slim play PS2 games?
Some people may have recently purchased a PS3 without having ever owned a PS2. Once playing some PS3 games and browsing the Playstation network of games found PS2 games of interest. Therefore, being able to play older system games on the newly purchased PS3 would be nice; therefore, a question such as this arises. And, yes, I'm that "some people."

Buick car, truck, or SUV owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of dependability when driving their Limited around town. You purchased your Limited because its reliability and economical pricing appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Idler Arm to repair your vehicle. Your Buick dealership isn't the only place to locate the highest quality parts to repair your Limited.
If we only drove in straight lines, then none of our vehicles would need any steering components. That would be quite boring for Buick Limited owners, and it would also mean that idler arms weren't necessary. Before the steering rack and pinion was used, a system of links with ball joints at each end actuated all of the steering motions, and your Buick Limited idler arm provides the single pivot around which all the other components turn. A broken idler arm means you will have trouble turning, parking, or dodging obstacles in the road.
Don't let a Idler Arm repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the best replacement parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Buick Limited part for your project or repair. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Buick Limited Idler Arm for your 1958 model.

Description from owner
Located right on the beach, overlooking the Five Island and idyllically set amongst towering palms and exotic flowering plants, this is as near to Man Friday's Treasure Island as one can imagine.
This authentic Thai-style house was lovingly created by a Swiss businessman, who spared nothing on creating a home of his dreams. Built in teak, the house was designed with amazing attention to detail, along with a multitude of treasures and artifacts that he collected from his travels around Thailand.
The entrance to this house sets the scene for the rest of this outstanding property. The striking entrance gate and long stone driveway lead down to the main house through a lush private garden that is home to a multitude of tropical plants, trees and flowers.
A green lawn fringes the long swimming pool followed by an arched lily pond entrance, which takes you to the main house overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, the Ang Thong National Marine Park and the Five Islands.

A green lawn fringes the long swimming pool followed by an arched lily pond entrance, which takes you to the main house overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, the Ang Thong National Marine Park and the Five Islands.
Opening directly onto a secluded beach, spectacular surroundings and cooling sea breezes, the spacious lounge features two large comfortable sofas and authentic Thai style armchairs. Surrounded by interesting artifacts and Thai antiques you'll find yourself being taken back to the 19th century colonial times of Indochina. The house manages to subtly incorporate modern comforts with old-world charm, offering the best of both yesteryear's allure and today's conveniences.
Here, is a place of relaxation, serenity and escape. The house is designed to allow places to gather as a group, or escape to your own peaceful retreat, catering to both socializing and soulful reflection. For those who must catch up on the news or sports, or just want to escape into a movie, there's also a TV, as well as a music system. The dining space is served by a fully equipped kitchen, while outside, a further Thai-style kitchen allows the in-house staff to prepare delicious meals (on request).
The Five Islands Beach House boasts four bedrooms, two of which are located in their own separate buildings adjacent to the main house. The first separate pavilion literally folds open onto a beautiful 10 by 3.5 meter swimming pool, providing the ultimate private retreat from the heat and putting the final touch to this quite magnificent property.
The second pavilion (mirroring the first) is slightly set back to the side of the main house giving it a sense of privacy along with exceptional sea views and its own private terrace. Both bedrooms have high gable roofs with vaulted ceilings and charming, rustic antique furniture retaining the authentic Thai feel, but both with comfortable new mattresses and luxurious cotton bedding, ceiling fans, air-conditioning, a small fridge and a modern shower en-suite.
Open to stunning sea views and overlooking the private tropical garden from the second floor of the main house, is a further double bedroom. Set in the triangular roof gables this bedroom exudes character and charm and comes straight from a scene from a storybook.
While just set back to the main house and joined by a court yard to the pavilion bedroom, the fourth twin-room is a favourite with the kids, furnished with two single beds (can be made into a king size bed), poised in front of a large wall-mounted flat-screen TV. This room can be used as a fourth bedroom with all the comforts of the other bedrooms, such as air-con and an en-suite shower room. Alternatively, it has the flexibility to be set out as a TV/chill-out room where it can be a private place to catch up on the news or watch a movie in comfortable and cool surroundings.
The house is managed by our Thai staff who will welcome you, show you around and are there to ensure you have a comfortable stay. Our efficient staff are always available but never intrusive. Piwi speaks great English and takes pride in welcoming guests to the villa.
Taling Ngam, is an area on the southern part of Koh Samui and is basically untouched by developers. Here you will find a much more relaxed feeling away from the hustle and bustle and the busy roads towards the north. Although the Five Islands Beach House is within close vicinity to several restaurants, peace and serenity rule the day.
The Five Island beach house is located 45 minutes to the airport, 30 minutes to Chaweng, 10 minutes to Nathon and 1 second to paradise.
Your holiday package includes electricity, high speed Wi-Fi & internet TV, with many English speaking channels. Rooms are cleaned daily, and linen & sheets are changed every four days.
Staying at the Beach House, offers a true Thai experience, from the décor to the surroundings to the famous Thai hospitality. You will never get bored of the postcard-perfect surroundings of this unique property. The beautiful, tropical outdoor spaces will take your breath away, whilst the warm, colourful interiors and conversation-starting artifacts will tempt you to pull up a chair and open a bottle of wine, and just contemplate life. While there's plenty to do on Samui, at Five Islands Beach House, you don't need to do anything if you don't want to – you can just… be.
From the owners: Peter & Ann:
The Five Islands Beach House is a very special, unique house. We've always had a passion for property, and, for a while, made Samui our home after falling in love with the island. Along with living on the island and back in the UK, we own another beachfront property, and we make it our job to ensure that our villas are maintained to a high standard and that our guests feel welcome and their needs are met – basing our expectations on the level of service we've experienced through our extensive travels abroad. Although we have our own home on Samui and also live in the UK, when our beachfront villas are not occupied by holidaymakers, we ourselves take on the role of 'guests' and experience them as you would, tweaking here and there, to make them the perfect holiday escape.
We have opened the doors to this very special house, sharing it with not only our friends and family, but also holidaymakers from across the globe, wanting to experience that famous Thai hospitality and all Samui has to offer, so they'll understand why we chose to make this island paradise our home".
Please note that smoking is allowed at this property but only out side. Ashtrays are provided.
"We also own one other beach villa. It is on the north east of the island and is called Villa Charmant. You can also find this property on The Holiday Lettings website, on Trip-advisor and air bnb. Please do not hesitate to get in-touch if you would like more information".
Location description from owner
The Surat Thani Province region
Ko Samui is the third largest island of Thailand after Phuket and Kho Chang and one of the most popular destinations for travelers. In recent years it developed to a tropical beach resort but still maintained its charm and has everything to offer - from coconut tree fringed beaches to tropical jungles to a vibrant nightlife. Popular beaches are Chaweng, Lamai, Bangrak, Bophut & Maenam. Activities for relaxation, adventure or family abound such as elephant trekking, sailing, diving, golfing. Sightseeing activities include, to name but a few, waterfalls, temples, butterfly garden, zoo, monkey theatre. All is waiting to be experienced. Imagine sitting on Chaweng Beach, sipping from a coconut, and the umpteenth vendor approaches you selling their wares. Now as fun as shopping on the beach can be, sometimes you want just a little peace and quiet to read a book. No music blaring from the bar next door, no jet-skis and no loud tourists yelling into their mobile phones. Wouldn't that be nice? Explore Taling Ngam, on Samui's less-developed south-west coast, for a taste of yester year luckily it's possible to escape the crowds and discover the real Samui, only a 45-minute drive from the commercial areas of the island. The unspoilt south-west is known to some as The Virgin Coast. The village of Taling Ngam forms part of this coast. From the ring-road, turn off at Route 4170 either coming from Nathon, or going clockwise, just past Hua Thanon. Follow the signs to Baan Taling Ngam, until you reach two massive elephant statues, guarding the entrance of the road to the rustic little village. Most visitors to the island don't venture past the tourist hotspots. Don't be one of them. Staying in Taling Ngam is well worth it! The area has seen the least change on the island, compared to parts that rapidly developed and lost their identity. It's almost as if time has stood still at Taling Ngam. Originally named Taling Punk (Damaged Shore) after a destructive storm in 1900 ruined the coastline, it recovered over time and was renamed Taling Ngam (Beautiful Shore) in 1942. Families go back several generations. Mainly descendants of Thai and Chinese migrants who made their living through fishing; they are content with keeping their traditional lifestyle. Once used by merchant traders over 100 years ago, this was one of the first seaports on the island. Locals provided water and provisions to boats that ventured past on their journey through South East Asia Many traditional wooden Southern-style houses can be seen still standing in compounds with other out-buildings, containing the extended family. Add to that a granny sweeping outside (there's always one), several chickens digging in the dirt, a towering pile of coconuts ready for processing and an assortment of dogs stretched out in the road, and you have your average Taling Ngam neighbourhood. The landscape is lush and green, predominantly coconut groves and banana plantations. Here the jungle truly does meet the beach. Oh, and on the beach, don't be alarmed to see a buffalo or two enjoying a dip in the sea, or lazing under a palm tree. Don't worry, they're docile, and there's usually a handler nearby. You're also likely to see shellfish collected by hand, or little clams dug out by wiggling toes in the sand, for the evening meal. Long-tail boats bring in the days catch. The waters here are clear, calm and shallow, perfect for kids – and buffaloes. Grab a shady spot under a palm on the beach, and enjoy it to yourself. To top it off it's the best spot on the island to catch the setting sun over the beautiful and mysterious Five Islands. Rosanne Turner © As Written for Samui Holiday Magazine
Taling Ngam
So what are these mysterious Five islands that are overlooked from Taling Ngam? Known locally in Thai as Koh Si Koh Ha, meaning Four Islands-Five Islands as one is hidden behind another. They are home to swifts, known for their famous nests, which are the main ingredient in birds' nest soup. The birds are protected as their nests sell for thousands of US dollars. Sea Gypsies are the only human inhabitants of the Five Islands, their small wooden homes perched on rocky outcrops – much like nests themselves. These gypsies are employed to guard the nests from poachers trying to get their hands on this strangely precious commodity. The well-known Island View Restaurant, a popular location for weddings and viewing the sunset, offers long-tail bo

I can honestly say I have never stayed at such an authentique and serene place. The house is amazing, full of beautiful artifacts and interesting paintings. I felt like I had gone back in time staying in the real Thailand . I would definitely stay here again. The kitchen is a little on the small side but adequate. There is another big kitchen out back if you needed more room for cooking big meals etc. Also if you are expecting bright and modern this is not for you. This place is the real thing! I sat many an evening sipping cocktails watching the most beautiful sunsets over the sea from our own private beach in front of the house. Because of the teak wood throughout, the bedrooms did seem a bit dark but after to speaking to the villa manager they actually added some new lighting to my room which made a big difference. Brilliant! The sea here is very clean and clear but can be a little stoney when paddling out to sea, so I would advise some water shoes for ease and comfort. It is not long before you feel the white sand under your feet and you can swim out into the clear blue ocean. All in all my stay here was superb and a superb place to unwind. You wouldn't find another place like this I'm sure on the island - it is truly a special place.

I am getting an application error when I try to submit a ticket to a remote site. The ticket is successfully added, but the user still gets an application error. Any suggestions?
5 Replies
Jul 18, 2011 at 4:00 UTC
Do you know if there may be any database differences between remote and central site, such as a custom attribute that exists on one but not the other?
Jul 18, 2011 at 4:26 UTC
There were no custom attributes between either of the two sites. Though the problem seems to have resolved since i filled in some of the missing site locations.
Aug 8, 2011 at 2:39 UTC
I was just informed from a client that this issue is still persisting.
Aug 8, 2011 at 3:37 UTC
Are the central and remote sites on the same version level? Have you been able to verify there is communication between them?
You can also contact Spiceworks support directly for help with this as well. They will probably want to look through your logfiles.
Sep 6, 2011 at 3:43 UTC
They are all running the same version, and can communicate with the central Spiceworks installation, but I am still getting the application error. It is not a big problem for me, but some of our clients think that the server is down because of this.

Me, I've never managed to have sex underwater and while I didn't think the act could get any more appealing, Sex Underwater has just proven that it can. Filled with bikini-clad babes floating around under the surface of a swimming pool, scuba tank, or beachside body of water, Sex Underwater not only proves that 'wetter' often does mean 'wilder' and that pornstars, bless 'em, seem capable of fucking under the most bizarre of circumstances. Ditch the dry land humping, folks, and dive into Sex Underwater, where the water might be a little bit unhygienic but clean enough to be extremely inviting.
If you're a man, you might find no need for a site like Men POV, not if you're fucking dozens of different hunks and cuties every month, working their holes and cocks until you're satisfied and they're in an Uber headed home since you're doing it all from your own point-of-view naturally. Then again, not all of can manage a steady stream of new asses to fuck, making Gay Room network site Men POV a very appetizing look at hardcore gay sex and the gorgeous men that partake of it. With sluggish updates keeping the archive smaller than most members would like, Men POV has some work to do, but isn't far off dazzling your vision and devastating your libido with its exclusive on-one-one encounters.
Japanese pornography is rightly regarded as some of the wildest and weirdest, most experimental and outlandish adult entertainment on the planet, so imagine the excitement you'll feel when staring at JAV HQ's front page and noticing the word "uncensored" featured so prominently. You read that right, fuck fans, JAV HQ is a totally uncensored and extremely colorful look at Japanese porn. Struggling to add 1080p HD videos and lacking much in the way of exclusive content, JAV HQ is hardly flawless, though it does provide some truly exceptional Asian porn - totally uncensored, of course.
In BDSM porn it's usually a man who pulls his hand back for a blistering slap of the ass that leaves his partner red, raw, and begging for mercy. Trust Fetish Network to fuck with convention, though, and unleash its boldest site yet: Strapon Squad. Handing the dicks over to the foxiest young bitches in porn today, Strapon Squad gives women the chance to be dominated, devastated, and utterly destroyed by, well, each other! If that doesn't make for the raunchiest, most daring take on lesbian sex yet seen in porn, I don't know what does!
Littering the countryside like abandoned Circuit City stores, glory holes welcome those in search of a truly anonymous sexual experience. Looking for an anonymous and discreet suck job? Afraid your politician husband will object to you openly blowing thirty or forty guys a night? Well, thank the load for inspiring sites like Glory Hole Secrets, where you'll marvel at the level to which some women will stoop just to get a taste of eighteen or nineteen different wads. With High Definition videos capturing every sordid detail and DNA-containing drop, Glory Hole Secrets is sexy, sordid, scandalous fun.
Milking Table doesn't involve lactation, milky insertions, or tabletop BBW fondling - it's a massage site with a unique twist. Part of the growing yet now former Nuru Network, Milking Table sees sexually troubled men seek the advice of a sex and massage therapist. She talks him through the process, rubs him down, then asks him to mount the gaping hole in her massage table, slipping his dick through the tabletop for a pseudo-anonymous handjob and blowjob session that'll ultimately leave him and you equally spent and satisfied.
Notoriety, fear, power, financial security: all good reasons to create yourself an empire and become the envy of others. Adult Empire Unlimited is a site that focuses on the strongest motivator for success, sex, with an extensive archive of HD and Ultra-HD smut from a variety of world-class studios, acclaimed producers, and undeniable performers. From butt-fucking grannies in lingerie to teen girls butt-fucking their boyfriends (in lingerie) and everywhere in between, Adult Empire Unlimited is as vast as your taste in porn.

I Kiss Girls takes one beautiful pussy-hungry pornstar and pairs her with another, equally sexy, woman for a tender round of passionate lovemaking, lesbian-style! Starring the likes of Bree Daniels, Aaliyah Love, and Jelena Jensen, this supremely seductive site sees all kinds of stunning women enjoy what each other have to offer, from supple breasts to compact rear-ends to lightly-fluffed but nonetheless juicy snatches. With HD videos and high-res photos capturing every marvelous moment, I Kiss Girls is a little lesbian powerhouse in the making.

Canon Stakes Its Turf In Hollywood With Cinema EOS & C300
In a star-studded presentation yesterday, Canon unveiled the C300 — its first-generation digital cinema camera. You can read the play-by-play action and see loads of pix from the Hollywood event here on Engadget.
Rather than bolt the motion features onto a still platform, Canon has launched a new era for digital moviemakers with the Cinema EOS system. Happily, I can say that the C300 provides the modular functionality that I lusted after in this February, 2010 article on PixSylated.
There is loads of information out there from folks who have actually used the C300. So rather than describe from afar, I'll point you to several sources of information on Cinema EOS and the C300. No doubt, this is an exciting time to call oneself a Canonista.

CHAPTER 13: QuidditchMature
Alice stood in the front row of the stands with Crabbe, Pansy, and Goyle watching the Quiddich match of Slytherin vs. Gryffendor.
"Go Draco!" Alice cheered. Pansy stood next to her, half her face painted green, the other half, purple. Written in gold across her forehead was "SLYTHERIN!"
Draco suddenly appeared to have spotted something and chased after it.
"Draco Malfoy has spotted the Snitch!" said the score keeper/announcer.
Alice saw Potter quickly look for Draco, then zoom after him. They both stopped. It seemed the Snitch had gotten away. Then they both flew after it again. Then a Gryffendore threw that Quaffle in their direction. Harry wasn't a Chaser. Why --
The Quaffle slammed into Draco.
"That's got to hurt." said the scorekeeper.
"Ooh . . . " said Crabbe. "Right in the -- "
Pansy shot him a dirty look.
Draco slowed down, but as soon as he saw Harry pass him, he was off again.
"Go Draco!" shouted Alice and Pansy at the same time. The two boys chased after the Snitch for awhile, then they seemed to have lost track of it. After a while of the two of them looking for it, Harry spotted it and tried to fly to it without catching Draco's attention. It would've worked, had it not been for the scorekeeper who wanted to keep the crowd updated.
"Harry Potter seems to have spotted the Snitch!"
Draco's head snapped tothe left so he was looking at Harry, and he shot across the field faster than Harry could react.
"Atta boy!" shouted Goyle.
The two of them flew across the field like rockets, both seemed desperate to catch the Snitch. Harry stopped and nodded at one of the beaters, who handed the bat to Weasley, the keeper.
"What the bloody hell is 'e doing?" asked Alice.
The other Gryffendor beater whacked one of the bludgers to Weasley. He swung at it and the bludger went flying towards Draco, whom Harry was standing clear of.
"DRACO LOOK OUT!" screamed Alice. Pansy had no idea what was going on, but the rest of them were panicked.
Draco turned to see the bludger secconds before it slammed into his face. The whole stadium stoof up to get a better view of what had happened. Draco fell, unconious, to the ground. He must've fallen at least two hundred feet, and was sure to have broken several bones . . . if he hadn't died. Alice jumped back. She knew there would be blood.
"Where are you going?" shouted Goyle.
She ran. As fast as her legs would carry her, which was considerably faster than a car could drive. But it wasn't fast enough. The sweet aroma of the blood soon reached her, overpowered her senses. She tried to fight it, but her will wasn't strong enough. Snape had spotted her. He knew exactly what was going on. He had to get her out of there.
A battle raged within her, everyone but Severus was oblivious to the fact that all of their lives were at stake. Snape grabbed her, trying to hold her still. Dumbledore saw them and immedietly understood. He ran, pushing though the crowd, they were shocked that he wasn't attending to Draco.
They each gripped one of her arms firmly, trying to hold her steady. Her being a female vampire, she was extremely fast, but only slightly stronger than a human. For male vampires, it was the opposite. Strong, but only slightly faster than humans. Just fast enough . . . to catch their prey.
Atlast she could not fight it anymore. The urge to kill was overpowering. She had no sense of where she was or what she was doing. She just knew that there was an easy meal. Her fingernails turned to claws, her teeth grew elongated and pointed. Her pupils narrowed to slits, her nostrils flared, taking in the aroma.
Severus and Dumbledore fought as hard as they could. She was now growling and snarling and occasionally tried to bite passing students and professors as they ran away in fear. They'd been so afraid that they'd left Draco behind. Lying in the grass, gasping for air, slowly bleeding away the last few secconds of his life.
At last Dumbledore began to grow weak, but Snape held strong. If she could somehow weaken him as well, they wouldn't be strong enough for her, and she could get her meal. Severus tried to move his hand onto her torso, to get a better grip on her. At the instant her moved his hand she spun around and bit his arm. She hissed and he fell to his knees, gripping his armas blood spilled all over the grass.
Suddenly, her senses returned to her. Her pupils returned to normal, her teeth receeded and her claws were once again fingernails. She stared for a moment at what she had done. As soon as she felt tears dripping down her cheeks, she turned and ran. Faster than she had before. She ran and ran and ran. Wanting to get away. Hoping that maybe if she left, it would all get better. Hoping Severus wouldn't have to be like her. That he wouldn't have to suffer as she had. She hated what she was and she would've rather died than become this.
Because she knew that one day, Snape would be dead . . . and she would have nothing.

Has anyone transferred their secondary school child to another school before? What is the procedure?
My Sec 2 DS math and science are very good. Top in math most of the time. Science get A1. However he is bad in his humanities and that is going to pull down his total score and jeopardize his chance to get into the triple science combination as there is only 1 class with that combination in his present school.
So I expect him not to qualify for the triple science combination.
Yet it makes no sense for him to do combined science or 2 pure science subject and take an extra humanities subject.
I am prepared to send him to another school which may accept him for the triple science combination if he cannot make it to the one in his present school. He is also for the idea, in fact he is the one asking me about this.
May I know if anyone has done this befor eand what is the procedure?

While Britain is obsessed with its moat-digging, duck-housing political class, it is worth remembering that other countries suffer political scandals too. This week, for instance, Australians have been fretting about Utegate - a row about a fake email and a pickup truck. Americans have watched the self-inflicted humiliation of their love-cheating runaway state governor Mark Sanford. Italians have once again had to avert their gaze from Silvio Berlusconi's bedroom. Less famously, a former Greek MP has been accused of handling a £400,000 bribe, a Bulgarian state power supply boss has been imprisoned for misusing $4.2m (some of which paid for a hot tub and massage chair in his office) and Japan's ruling party and the main opposition are again entangled in a dispute over business donations. Meanwhile, Israeli courts have just sentenced a former finance minister to five years in jail, a former Israeli president is on trial over allegations of rape and sexual harassment and the foreign minister is under investigation on suspicion of money laundering.
Rows, splits, scandals and resignations are the stuff of political life everywhere, and what has been going on at Westminster is by no means the most ludicrous or exotic example. The Utegate row gripping Canberra - a ute is an Australian term for a pickup truck - has no substance at its core, but that hasn't stopped the leader of the opposition calling for the prime minister to resign, or Kevin Rudd, Australia's Labor leader, from returning the compliment. Just like those periodic seizures that grip British politics, the fact of the row has become more important than anything it is supposed to be about. It began when Malcolm Turnbull, for the opposition, accused the prime minister of trying to bail out a car dealer in his constituency - but then the police discovered that an email that was said to prove it was in fact fabricated. Mr Turnbull now has egg all over his face.
At least the scandal appeared to matter when it began, which is more than can be said for the Sanford saga in South Carolina. The British media is accused of intruding into politicians' private lives but Sanford's strange disappearance last weekend shows Americans are just as fascinated. At first his staff said he had gone off on a macho lone hike along the rugged Appalachian Trail. Then the governor gave a rambling press conference before confessing that he had actually flown to see a lover in Argentina. His emails, which have been leaked, are comically flirtatious.
The distant echoes of other people's rows put British concerns into perspective. Our politicians are not the most venal or foolish on the planet, and our political press is not alone in chasing sensation at the expense of policy.

No Win No Fee Claims for Personal Injury and Medical Negligence Cases
No Win No Fee Claims with No Financial Risk to You
For free legal advice call our No Win No Fee Personal Injury or Medical Negligence Solicitors on 0330 606 9587 or contact us online and we will help you.
Co-op Legal Services can provide No Win No Fee Agreements for a wide range of accident, personal injury and medical negligence compensation claim cases. Every year our Personal Injury Solicitors and Litigation Lawyers secure millions of pounds in compensation for people injured in accidents across the UK, and most claims are dealt with on a No Win No Fee basis.
No Win No Fee Claims Explained
A No Win No Fee Agreement is also called a Conditional Fee Agreement. This agreement details what happens if you win or lose your compensation claim case. Explained further, at Co-op Legal Services this means:
If your personal injury claim is not successful the Personal Injury Solicitor and legal specialists assigned to your case do not get paid for their work on your case.
If your personal injury claim is successful the other side (the person or party at fault) pay most of your legal costs including expenses for medical treatments, rehabilitation support and Court costs should your case go to Court; but most of our personal injury claims settle before going to Court.
If your claim is not successful you will not pay us a penny in legal costs.
As part of the Co-op Group our values of openness, honesty, social responsibility and caring for others are core to the service we provide, and our customers consistently rate the quality of our legal advice and services at 4.4 out of 5 stars. See client testimonials for our Personal Injury Solicitors.
No Win No Fee Advantages
A No Win No Agreement allows the Personal Injury Solicitor and his/her legal team to proceed with your case with no up-front costs to be paid. This offers peace of mind and allows you to focus on recovering from your injuries.
In many personal injury cases when we inform the other side that The Claimant (that's you) has signed a No Win No Agreement with Co-op Legal Services, this often leads to a quicker compensation settlement because they will not want to spend money taking the case to Court.
Can I Claim on a No Win No Fee Basis?
We will tell you if we can offer you a No Win No Fee Agreement after a personal injury or medical negligence expert has assessed your case. We will review your injury claim at no cost to you and provide you with free legal advice based on your particular circumstances.
What is a No Win No Fee Solicitor / Lawyer?
A No Win No Fee Solicitor or Lawyer is a Solicitor or Lawyer that can provide a No Win No Agreement, which is also called a Conditional Fee Agreement.
For free legal advice call our No Win No Fee Personal Injury or Medical Negligence Solicitors on 0330 606 9587 or contact us online and we will call you.
As part of the largest Co-operative organisation in the UK, Co-op Legal Services works to ensure that our clients receive the best legal advice and support services available from our teams of Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Solicitors, Legal Executives and staff.
APIL Members: Several of our Personal Injury Solicitors are members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
Ethical Approach
At Co-op Legal Services our Personal Injury Solicitors and Clinical Negligence Lawyers believe that:
Everyone should have access to expert legal advice and support when they have suffered a personal injury in an accident that was someone else's fault.
Everyone should receive compensation which is a fair reflection of their injuries and the effect those injuries have had on their life.
Everyone injured in an accident that was not their fault should receive rehabilitation support.
Co-op Legal Services has offices in Manchester, Bristol and London.
