Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Insurance law covers the policies insurance companies offer and the rates they charge. Personal insurance standards include auto insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance. Business insurance standards usually include commercial liability insurance, errors and omissions insurance, malpractice insurance, and business interruption insurance. Each of these policies covers losses from different types of risk, and both the losses and the risks are carefully defined. It can take an insurance lawyer just to determine if your loss resulted from a risk you were insured for. Sometimes insurance companies deny claims, acting in what is legally called "bad faith." Insurance lawyers can determine if your insurer is treating you fairly and sue for you if the company is acting in bad faith.

Trouble downloading NBA2k13
1 replies 88 views Edited Mar 1, 2013
I downloaded NBA2k13 a couple weeks ago during the NBA All-Star weekend costing at half price. The size of the game to download is around 9 GB, and I have 13GB free space. For some odd reason according to the PS store, "there is not enough free space for this download". I even deleted some more games to "clear up more free space" and this message still occurs. Can someone help me with this or is there any way I can get a refund?

You need to free more space until the download starts without the message "there is not enough free space for this download" (9GB for download and another 9GB for the installation).

BeschreibungThe increasing awareness on the varied consequences of hypogonadism in distinct organs and systems has supported the notion of estrogens as systemic agents. This observation is congruent with the variety of tissues affected by - trogens when used in hormone therapy formulations on hypogonadic women. Apart from the genital tract and the breast, recognized as traditional targets for estrogens, the skeleton, the vascular tree, or the central nervous system, are good examples of territories that have demonstrated sensitivity to estrogens. This evidence has created great interest, as shown by the great amount of lit- ature that has been produced on the bene?ts and risks associated with the use of estrogens. In parallel to the clinical interest, basic research has improved our kno- edge on the complexities involved in estrogen action at the molecular level. Together with effects mediated through speci?c receptors, a concept that has been the mainstay of the interpretation of estrogen action for years, there is enough evidence to hold the notion of receptor-independent effects. The substantial advances in modern technology applied to research have helped in enlightening the particulars of this versatile action of estrogens. This more detailed knowledge on the sophisticated mechanism of action of estrogens has nourished the emergence of multiple hypotheses speculating with the p- sibility of manipulating estrogen action. The notion that a widely extended regulatory system of cell function, as it is the estrogen receptor machinery, might be modulated at wish has arisen as an attractive, although still elusive postulate.

PressestimmenFrom the reviews of the first edition:
"Sanchez and colleagues have assembled a timely addition to the clinician's library. Their book is an up-to-date synthesis of the basic mechanisms of action of estrogen and SERMs with a comprehensive analysis of receptor-mediated and non-receptor mediated events in target tissue. The sections on new SERMs and the clinical endocrinology of SERMs are very useful and will remain so for some time. The choice of basic and clinical topics makes for interesting reading. ... Overall, the book is well written and easy to read." (V. Craig Jordan, The New England Journal of Medicine, January, 2007)

I mean she is a extremely powerful fable, so why did she work for the Crooked Man when she could just brake his neck and take his throne? Was it for money? Respect? Or there was something i missed?
5 Comments
In one of her book of fables it says that she does it for fun because she was bored and it's a lot of fun. She'd even risk her life.
Shits and giggles.
I don't think Mary cares about power, or money, she's just in it because she's a psychopath and The Crooked Man gives her enough targets to sate her (on-duty) bloodlust.
She said it herself. She LIKES her job.
Pretty much, crooked mans the only thing preventing mary going on a killing spree. crooked mans gotta give mary a target eventually, or she will snap of boredom and proceed to get alot of "stuff" to "feed the family dogs"... and if mary worked for anyone else she would of easily got too bored and kill her boss. maybe even the crooked man is a bit scared of her.

At Doves Farm we mill many different and rare types of grain into flour.
The history and origins of wheat grain as a food lie in wild grass seeds, which were harvested and stored by early man. Grass, like wheat, is thought to have been purposefully cultivated in the Middle East thousands of years ago. Many archaeological sites and ancient writings reveal the existence of early circular storage pits used for conserving the harvested grains from weather and animals from one year to another.
During 10,000 years of cultivation, several forms of wheat have evolved under human selection. Within each species, wheat cultivars are further classified by farmers depending on the characteristics of each grain.
This classification depends on:
• Protein Content
• Gluten Content
• Colour
Use the links below to find out about specific grain varieties and their uses.
Types of grain:
• Wheat
• Barley
• Rye
• Spelt
• Oats
• Kamut
• Einkorn
• Quinoa

Holy Crap Batman! More Hillary-related emails, this time Bryan Pagliano's, seem to have gone missing from the State Department's data banks!
Who is Bryan Pagliano?
'Pagliano was responsible for setting up the now-infamous private server in the basement of the Clinton's home in Chappaqua, New York. He has since become a key witness in the FBI inquiry into the handling of sensitive material on that server and has been granted immunity by the Justice Department in exchange for his cooperation.' (Source)
If this was a television sitcom or even a Pink Panther movie it would fail miserably due to the fact that the plot is just too unbelievable.
But of course it surrounds Hillary Clinton and as we have seen through the years truth is typically always stranger than fiction!
So while the Hillary Clinton email scandal has had more twists and turns than a Thanksgiving cornfield maze, this is just another cog in the case that will go mostly unreported by the mainstream media and one that will likely have few if any repercussions for the 'incompetents' at the State Department who somehow can't seem to find Pagliano's email trail.
Could the result be that since they have lost the evidence Pagliano will no longer cooperate? How typical, in the life and times of the Clinton's, would that be?
And if you are curious what obstruction of justice is and whether it might apply in this case, here it is...
A criminal offense that involves interference, through words or actions, with the proper operations of a court or officers of the court.
The integrity of the judicial system depends on the participants' acting honestly and without fear of reprisals. Threatening a judge, trying to bribe a witness, or encouraging the destruction of evidence are examples of obstruction of justice. Federal and state laws make it a crime to obstruct justice.'

Khan, who is also a real estate consultant, is under the scanner for suspected money laundering and for allegedly transferring cash and valuable assets outside the country by unlawful means with the help of foreign nationals.
The previous searches at Khan's Koregaon home were in Jan 2007 when the Income Tax department had raided the premises.
The 53-year old stud farm owner, who was detained in Pune on Mar 7, was brought to Mumbai at about 6 pm and after a series of interrogations was arrested around the midnight. He will be produced in the court on Mar 8.
ED officials inspected documents pertaining to alleged hawala transactions. He was also grilled about his money laundering deals. Khan was finally arrested under different sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Supreme Court of India had pulled up the government in the black-money and issued a deadline to probe allegations of tax-evasion and money laundering against Hasan Ali Khan. The arrest has been made well before the deadline.
The Hindustan Times has cited anonymous sources saying that searches were carried out at the premises of Khan and his associates at Pune, Mumbai, Gurgaon, Kolkata and Hyderabad.

The equilibrium of a horizontal layer of a heavy incompressible fluid of variable density $\rho _{0}$ in the vertical direction is stable or unstable according as d$\rho _{0}$/dz (z being the upward vertical) is everywhere negative or is anywhere positive. In the unstable case, the rate n at which the system departs from equilibrium depends on the total wave number k of the initial disturbance, and there is, in general, one mode characterized by n$_{m}$ and k$_{m}$ which grows more rapidly than any other. In the stable case, after an initial disturbance the equilibrium may be restored either periodically or aperiodically, depending on the value of k. The periodic type of motion gives rise to horizontally propagated 'gravity waves'. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the influence of viscosity and hydromagnetic forces on the hydrodynamical motion produced by a small disturbance of the aforementioned equilibrium situation. The appropriate perturbation theory is developed initially for any density field $\rho _{0}$(z) and kinematical viscosity $\nu $(z) for a fluid of constant electrical conductivity $\sigma $ e.m.u. and magnetic permeability $\kappa $ in the presence of a uniform magnetic field of strength H$_{0}$ in the direction of gravity, acceleration g. The solution is expressed in the form of integrals, and is shown to be characterized by a variational principle. Based on the variational principle an approximate solution is obtained for the special case of a fluid of finite depth d stratified according to the law $\rho _{0}$ = $\rho _{1}$ exp ($\beta $z), and for which v is constant. It is shown that if n and k are measured in suitable units, they are related by an equation involving three dimensionless parameters: R = ($\eta \pi $s/2dV$_{A}$), S = ($\nu \pi $s/2dV$_{A}$) and B = (g$\beta $d$^{2}$/$\pi ^{2}$s$^{2}$V$_{A}^{2}$), where $\eta $ = (4$\pi \kappa \sigma $)$^{-1}$, V$_{A}^{2}$ = (kH$_{0}^{2}$/4$\pi \rho _{1}$), and s is an integer involved in the description of the velocity field. Explicit solutions may be obtained in three cases, namely, (a) R$\rightarrow $$\infty $, (b) B = 0, (c) R = 0. Case (a) has been discussed in a previous paper. Other cases will be discussed in a future paper. Only cases (b) and (c) are considered here. In case (b) we have the problem of hydromagnetic waves damped by viscosity and electrical resistance; the properties of these waves are described. In case (c), we limit ourselves to an ideal conductor. When B>0 the equilibrium is unstable; the influence of viscosity and hydromagnetic forces on the mode of maximum instability is briefly discussed. When B<0, the equilibrium is stable. If - B $\leq $ 2, S$^{2}\geq $ 1, or - B > 2, S$^{2}\geq $ (4(1 - B)$^{3}$/27B$^{2}$), the equilibrium is always restored aperiodically. Otherwise, waves can be generated, but only when the wavelength lies within a certain range. These waves combine the properties of gravity waves and hydromagnetic waves.

This is how it went downMature
As I mentioned before we pixies can shape-shift. Most of the time we go for a small mammal or rodent, it makes it easy for us to get around without being noticed. No one really cares about some stray cat wandering the street, or a dog sniffing around. Rodents work pretty well unless you're seen, then its all screams and dodging brooms.
I prefer a cat; young enough to be cute, but old enough to not be picked up by every bleeding heart that sees me. If someone starts to reach for me I just hiss like I have some serious psychological problems and take a swipe at them. Most people have sense enough not to pick up a cat sharp on five ends, but every once in a while you get some determined person who is going to "save" you no matter what. If a few cat scratches don't deter them I just give up and escape at the first opportunity that arises, which is about two second after they put me down or turn their back.
Its not like we pixies are just roaming the streets trying to survive. We have communities all over the place, even a government of a kind with laws and everything, but when we're in public we need to blend in. All pixies are magical, but some of us are stronger, magically, than others. A normal pixie can shift into a large dog pretty easily, but a few are powerful enough to shift into a human form. This makes things quite convenient for them, but the rest of us are kind of screwed in that department. I am not one who can shift into a human, although I can shift into a large great dane fairly easily.
Today I was a cat. I had decided this morning that I was going to go see a movie. I like movies, they're ridiculous and fantastical.
Cats are really perfect for going to the theater, they're small, fast, can see in the dark, and most of all silent. You would not believe the places I've sneaked into as a cat -- lets just say not all our tech is terrestrial -- so a theater is not quite Fort Knox -- that bitch is empty, by the way -- when it comes to security.
I decided on a movie that was staring my favorite actress. You all may think she looks a little odd, but in a hot way. Most human women don't think she's pretty at all, but thats because she's garnering all the attention of their men; understandable. The thing is, she's a pixie in human form and she can cast a low-level glamour on men. Thats why the women really don't like her, they think she looks weird, and their right. We pixies look pretty much human… pretty much. But there are oddities we can never really get right when we shift into human form; our faces are just a bit too long, teeth a smidge too large, eyes just over normal size, and ears slightly pointed. Ironically all things attributed to beauty, but when you mash them all up on one face they become uncomfortably sublime. Point being, we pixies are more prominent in human society than people would think; hell, movie stars aren't even the most famous or powerful of us in the human world. But I digress.
So I'm around halfway through this awful movie when it happens. I'm sitting on the padded arm of a theater seat in the back row, munching on some popcorn left by the previous viewers, when BAM! I'm knocked off the arm and onto the seat. It feels like a hot poker has been shoved right into my eyes and a three hundred pound bodybuilder is standing on my chest. I feel myself lose the shape spell and in a flash I'm back to my natural shape, but at the moment I don't even care; the bodybuilder has started doing a jig. I feel my mind open like a flayed steak and memories and thought start pouring in; someone else's memories and thoughts. The pain overwhelms me and the merciful dark of unconsciousness floods over me.

You bought your G10 Van because its dependability and long-lasting quality struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Chevrolet automobile owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliability when driving their G10 Van around town. It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Harmonic Balancer to repair your car or truck. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your G10 Van unless you wanted to buy performance and good looks both impeccably combined into one vehicle.
The problem with your internal combustion engine is that enough vibrations are being produced to shake the whole thing apart. The harmonic balancer attached to your crankshaft solves this problem. The harmonic balancer is a huge, vibration-dampening pulley that connects your drive belts to the accessories in your Chevrolet G10 Van engine. Since these accessories wouldn't function as well if engine vibrations were transferred through the belts but still require the rotational force of the crankshaft to power them, the rubber membrane inside your Chevrolet G10 Van harmonic balancer absorbs the vibration so none of the other accessory pulleys get shaken to bits.
Ordering new Chevrolet parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the most superior original and aftermarket replacement G10 Van parts on the internet. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. When your Chevrolet needs the best replacement Harmonic Balancer, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Need 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964 Chevrolet G10 Van Harmonic Balancer parts? We've got them right here.

Puppy Breeders in Edmonton/Surrounding Area
Hey everyone. Very OT, obviously, and if it needs to be moved to the OT thread, I understand...just hoping to get some good responses if anyone knows anything about this.
I'm looking for some help/info from fellow dog enthusiasts for my girlfriend who is searching for reputable, responsible good dog breeders to purchase a puppy from. She is looking for small to medium puppy breeds, preferably blackhaired dogs as well. She is very specific for what she is looking for, hence the reputable breeders, as she has been reading up on the important questions to ask breeders before purchasing.
The breeds that she's been most interested in are: Havanese, Morky (Maltese/Yorkie), Maltipoo (Maltese/Poodle), Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel/Poodle), Yorki Crosses, as examples. Any similar breeds are of interest still, however.
The most important information she is looking for is guaranteed health of the puppies, and the genetics of the puppies, so as to minimize the chances of health problems. She is also not interested in breeders who don't take good care of the puppies (and she has already been to one place in particular that was dirty, and the puppies were kept together in a very small kennel).
Any info would be great. My apologies to mods if this is in the wrong area.

BRITS have joined a flood of tourists sweeping the only place in the world
where they can swim with a tiger cub.
An animal park is offering people the chance to swim with their ten-week-old
cub Tony for £125 a turn.
Pictures show Tony splashing about with handler Kelsey Johnson, 21, during the
Swimming With Tigers experience in Dade City, Florida.
Five-year-old Sylvia Hatfield, of Spring Hills, Florida, loved paddling with
the adorable young cat in these cute pictures during her half-hour swim.
Visitors paying for the controversial attraction first meet-and-greet the
animal for a half-hour session on a lawn next to the park's swimming pool.
They bottle-feed him as part of an effort by the Wild Things Animal Park to
make the pair bond.
It is meant to make the swim that follows more comfortable for both the human
and the cat.
Wild Things Head Animal Trainer Randy Stearns said the park had faced
criticism from animal rights groups over the venture, but defended the
He said: "Water is all part of the tiger's natural environment. They are the
best swimmers of all the big cats, and even have webbing between their toes
to make their feet more like flippers.
"None of the animals at our park come from the wild and were all born in
"It's important they have a level of human contact. Things such as vets'
visits are extremely distressing if they are not desensitised to humans.
"The Swimming With Tigers experience is also part of their physical training.
It makes them fit and healthy and mimics the swimming the cats would do in
the wild."
Tiny Tony, who weighs just 18lbs, was born at the park and Stearns said they
chose to hand-rear him after his mother rejected him.
Randy added: "She wasn't feeding him so we had to hand-feed him by bottle
every day.
"To swim with a tiger is a very special experience.
"We've had people coming in and paying to do this from the United Kingdom,
Iceland, Australia and Taiwan.
"It's not just children who love it. For many elderly people, swimming with a
big cat is on their bucket list of things to do before they die."
Wild Things also offers the chance to swim with a four foot alligator called
But protective parents don't need to worry – its snout is taped up to stop the
animal snapping at anyone.

Ode to Joy
I stand before the frozen philharmonic
orchestra. They sit in wait for me,
yet I cannot recall how my symphonic
masterpiece should feel. But when I see
the horns, which flash like burnished sunlight trapped
in water, my baton begins to dance—
I taste the cellos, rich as cherries wrapped
in chocolate, feel the flute and harp's romance,
and touch the violins, as sharp as wire
yet lush and smooth as velvet's soft caress.
I cannot feel the voices in the choir,
just know they sing a joy I can't express.
The concert ends. I slowly turn around
and weep to see applause devoid of sound.

Pearl Jam fans raise money for Tosa skate park
Party in Lake Geneva on Friday kicks off concert weekend
Fans of rock band Pearl Jam are throwing a party in Lake Geneva on Friday, and Wauwatosa group Tosa Skateboarders United will get a cut of the money raised.
Pearl Jam is holding a two-day concert event at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy on Saturday and Sunday. Wishlist Foundation, a fan nonprofit organization, will kick off the 20th anniversary festival concert series with a fundraiser at Hemingway's in Lake Geneva on Friday.
Brett Taylor, a Wauwatosa resident and Pearl Jam fan, connected the two groups.
He learned about TSU's efforts to build a skate park at Hart Park when he visited the group's booth at Chilin' on the Avenue in East Tosa earlier this summer. He just happened to mention that Pearl Jam bass player Jeff Ament has been involved in building skate parks.
Taylor joined the Pearl Jam fan club while in college in 1992. Since members get concert tickets based on seniority, he typically sits in the first several rows. His car even has vanity plates that reference Pearl Jam's song "Even Flow."
It wasn't until after that conversation at Chili'n on the Avenue that he learned the foundation was looking for charities to benefit from the preconcert fundraiser. He thought TSU would be a perfect fit.
"The fans will generally pick an organization that is near and dear to the band members' hearts," Taylor said.
Tosa Skateboarders United and Save the Turf Foundation in Greenfield were chosen from a pool of six Wisconsin applicants to share in the money raised at what likely will be a huge party, judging by past fan gatherings.
Taylor and his wife, Emma, have been to one such party in Chicago and plan to attend the one in Wisconsin. He donated a Pearl Jam poster to be auctioned off, and hopes it could bring in a substantial amount.
TSU can bring raffle and auction items, as well, so the group is looking for donations from the Wauwatosa community. Money raised will be used to obtain construction documents for a skate park, the next step in the development process, said Judy Doyle, TSU secretary.
"The benefit of this sponsorship is huge for a small organization such as Tosa Skateboarders United," she said. "It creates excitement about our project and shows the community the value of creating a recreation space for skating and BMX biking."
Much of the Pearl Jam fan base is at a stage of life in which they're raising young families, the target market for a future skateboard park. Taylor supports the project and said he has two children, ages 7 and 10, who will definitely want to make use of the facility.
"Tosa Skateboarders United is interested in youth engagement," Doyle said. "We will get this park built and provide a safe, legal place for kids to skate/bike and gather."
At a glance
WHAT: Pearl Jam fan group Wishlist Foundation will throw a fundraiser in celebration of the band's 20th anniversary. Local group Tosa Skateboarders United will be a beneficiary.
WHEN: 5 to 10 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Hemingway's, N3270 Highway H, Lake Geneva
DONATE: Call Judy Doyle at (414) 687-4035.

Publisher's Description▼▲
As familiar as we are with the songs of Christmas, there are four songs recorded in the Bible to celebrate the birth of Jesus that most of us aren t familiar with. The angels sang a song to the shepherds. Mary sang a song to God after she had time to get over the shocking news that she was going to be the mother of the Savior. Simeon also had a song. Then there s Zechariah s song. Zechariah was an elderly priest who sang after being visited by an angel.
This wasn t like a Broadway musical these people didn t suddenly burst into song. But the ancient church captured their words and created songs known as canticles.
Session One
Zechariah: A Song of Faith
Even in silence, God is at work.
Luke 1:67 79
Session Two
Angels: A Song of Peace
This is a peace that passes our understanding.
Luke 2:13 14
Session Three
Mary: A Song of Trust
Like Mary, we can move from anxiety to adoration.
Luke 1:46 55
Session Four
Simeon: A Song of Hope
The reward is worth the wait.
Luke 2:29 32
This Study Through the Bible Course is based on the PreachingToday.com sermon series called Songs for the Not-So-Holly-Jolly, by Ed Rowell.

So as I said in My New Car Blog I'd give a shout-out to whoever got the answer to my question and Nagato188 aka Vic got it. So here's a Shout-out to Nagato188 Go Follow Him Everyone, you know what screw it I'll dedicate this blog entirely to him after he released his Fight Club review (go read it). Anyways here we go with my Top 5 Movies of All-Time(non-animated or cartoon).
5. 10 Things I Hate About You
This modern take on Shakespeare's comedy The Taming of the Shrew, was truly exceptional. I've probably watched this movie 150 times. Featuring beloved actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Heath Ledger. (That's right Robin and the Joker went to the same highschool)
4. Inception
I'm sure most people watched this since it is one of Nolan's finest/newest films
3. Shawshank Redemption
Wow this movie is the best prison movie of all time! It's like a nice long ride and once its done, you feel like going through it once more.
2. Fight Club
The first time I watched this movie I went WTF did I just watch? Then one day I decided to buy it on Blu-ray and after watching it 2 more times I realized how great the movie really was, this is definitely Brad Pitt's finest film(I also liked him in the Ocean's trilogy).
1. The Dark Knight
Heath Ledger stole the show! What more can I say.
So there are my Top 5 Movies how about you guys?
Jayden is a member of The Invasion Army aka Podcast Invasion and is a true lover of the Halo franchise, Halo 4 was his GOTY until he went back and played some old games again. Jayden loves Anime, Hockey, and Video Games. His favorite game is Kingdom Hearts II and favorite franchise is Ratchet and Clank.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Whether they are truly talented or simply interested in using music as a bludgeon, untested Denver bands have long had a wide-open outlet for their art at Cricket on the Hill. Sure, the place is far from cuddly, but management understands the bar's symbiosis with local rock. The standard deal is straightforward: Three bands split a third of the bar after they pay off the sound guy. No bullshit. No one gets ripped off. No drunken riots...well, not very often. Hey, two out of three ain't bad.
No bones about it: Over the past few years, the Denver Blues and Bones Festival has grown into a great weekend. There are much bigger festivals -- the Taste of Colorado, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, the People's Fair -- and much smaller neighborhood fairs, but Blues and Bones is just the right size, every inch and minute packed with great blues music from a variety of national acts and finger-licking good barbecue from both amateur and professional locals. Cross your fingers that the atmosphere survives a relocation from the Golden Triangle to Invesco Field at Mile High; see for yourself at this year's event Memorial Day weekend, May 24-26.
Barry, Barry, Barry: How can we miss you if you won't go away? Last summer, in a battle plan that rivaled the Invasion of Normandy for buildup and strategizing -- although the plans for D-Day were kept secret -- longtime concert promoter Barry Fe re-entered the fray, joining up with House of Blues (the outfit he sold his concert-promotions company to four years ago) to take on Clear Channel for Colorado's concert business.
Many tried, but after several area runs of The Vagina Monologues, it was local chanteuse Hazel Miller who really shone among the guest actors participating in touring versions of the acclaimed show. Monologues typically pairs local female celebrities -- swimmer Amy Van Dyken and radio DJ Nina Blackwood are examples -- with professional actors to perform the various readings, which range from moving to funny to serious. Miller's eight standing-room-only performances at the Boulder Theater raised the roof, though, so much so that she was asked to return to the role when the show comes back in August 2002. And that's something we can all shout about.
As part of the Denver's Public Library's Special Readings Project, children's librarian Heath Rezabek held a birthday party last fall for Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, two of the heroes in J.R.R. Tolkien's masterful books on Middle Earth, followed by a ten-week reading of The Fellowship of the Ring, book one in Tolkien's trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Rezabek, who abridged the book himself for purposes of the reading, held a similar series the year before for The Hobbit, the trilogy's prelude, and he plans to follow up with the final two books in the next two years. Although the readings are scheduled to coincide with the three Rings movies, Rezabek's goal is to help kids of all ages use their own imaginations rather than Hollywood's, and to introduce a new generation of fans to Hobbitdom. No special effects needed.
Call her madam! Lou Bunch ran the most successful whorehouse in Central City back in the days when the mining town was known as the "Richest Square Mile on Earth." These days, it could be the saddest square mile on earth, since Central City's plan to mine the wallets of would-be gamblers was blocked by nearby Black Hawk, which literally moved mountains to make sure that its big casinos would snag all the suckers before they could head farther up the hill. As a result, though, Central City has managed to retain some of its classic character -- and you'll never see more classic characters than at Lou Bunch Days. Held every Father's Day weekend, the festival features includes bed races up and down Main Street (complete with appropriately attired female riders), costume contests and a dance; a recent, unofficial addition to the lineup is the return of many old Zekes, Central City residents who were frightened away or pushed away by gambling but return for this wild, wacky weekend. "It's a great time to be in Central City," says Lew Cady, publisher of the Little Kingdom Come newspaper ("published whenever we damn well feel like it"). "Especially for people who are longtime lovers of the town." And current lovers of good old-fashioned frolics. "If New Year's Eve is amateur night," Cady adds, "this is for the professionals." And no one was more of a pro than Madam Bunch.

My husband and I had the pleasure of spending a romantic Valentine's Day weekend here. When we got to our room, I was in awe. It was incredibly spacious and luxuriously appointed. A fire was ready in the wood burning fireplace and the candles were lit. With some BNB's you worry about overbearing Innkeepers, but NO WAY here; they are all about service.
My husband and I stayed for the entire month of July, and I have to say, this was a most pleasurable experience! The Treehouse Suite is GORGEOUS and offers fantastical quality. It's like the treehouse you wanted as a kid with all the luxuries you want as an adult (Did I mention the Jacuzzi tub?!). I would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful getaway!
We took a trip to the HideAway Country Inn for our anniversary, and it was definitely one of the best places either of us has ever stayed.
The women in our family wanted somewhere special to take my mother for her 75th birthday. We stayed in 4 rooms and they were all decorated beautifully with a warm and cozy feel. One of the rooms we stayed in was The Eagle's Nest, which offered a large enough room for all of us to gather and have fun. We had a wonderful time and made some very special memories.
We stayed in the African Loft and it was fantastic. This bed was so comfortable I had a hard time making myself get out of it the next morning. Everything was clean and the staff was very pleasant.

Placing Medical Devices in Portugal
Obelis S.A., O.E.A.R.C.
Placing Medical Devices in Portugal
Placing your product into the European market is contingent upon your compliance with the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. While this Directive is a law to all 27 Member States within the European Union, each Member State has its own way of implementing the Directive within their country essentially by adding regulations to the Directive and creating Local Legislation.
An example of such local implementation of the Directive is now present in Portugal which requires, in addition to the CE marking (as opposed to the essence of the CE marking which is "Free Circulation of Goods"), that Class IIb and III medical devices to be placed on the Portuguese market will go through a Device registration process. This process is similar to the pre-market notification requirement for Class I Medical Devices (as stated in the European Directive MDD 93/42/EEC Article 14) only in Portugal it is applicable for Class IIb and Class III. The devices must be registered online to the Portuguese Competent Authorities according to n.º 3 of l' article 8º-C of the Order in Council nº30/2003 February 14.
In addition to this registration and in accordance with the Decree-Law n.º 273/95, of 23rd of October, all manufacturers of active and non active Classes of IIb and III medical devices will need to communicate their device details to the Portuguese Competent Authorities through their legal entity, including labeling and Instructions For Use information (which are required to be in Portuguese).
Distributors also have requirements to fulfill under the Portuguese regulation. Distributors are required to notify the Competent Authorities of all medical devices they are placing on the Portuguese market. They can communicate this to the Authorities through the online registration database.
Class I medical devices are not exempt. While they do not have to fulfill all the requirements of the Class IIb and III devices, Class I devices are required to complete the registration sheet and Declaration of Conformity on the Portuguese database.
As a non-EU manufacturer of medical devices, the requirements under the Portuguese regulation need to be complete by a legal representative in the Community - a European Authorized Representative.
To complete these requirements, the Authorized Representative will need to be presented with the following:
- EC Declaration of Conformity
- CE Certificate
- Labeling (must be in Portuguese)
- Instructions For Use (must be in Portuguese)
- Technical file
Notifications by Distributor and Manufacturer (or Authorized Representative) are independent and not replaceable.
Third party commercial entities, like distributors, should not register your products for several reasons, a few of which are:
1. By allowing a third party commercial entity to register in your behalf, the manufacturer relinquishes an essential part of his control over his product in Portugal
2. If you decided to end the relationship with your commercial distributor at any point, you would be required to take your product completely off the market until you could re-register that product within Portugal for a second (third, fourth, etc.) time
3. Your third party commercial entity will expect exclusivity, limiting the open distribution of your product
1. For the benefit of non-EU manufacturer, the distributor must be cleared from any regulatory affairs
2. The manufacturer should register their products with the Italian database through his appointed European Representative
Local Legislations, such as this one, are growing rapidly in Europe and strengthen the need for a professional European Authorized Representative present at all times.

Arguably since Tony Soprano first walked onto our screens in HBO's The Sopranos in 1999 (wow, that's so long ago) the oft-maligned medium of television drama has been experiencing a golden age. Shows like The Wire, The Shield, Breaking Bad and Mad Men have all followed The Sopranos in reaching the pinnacle of drama and establishing TV and not film as the place to work for in-depth, engrossing drama. The last 12 months were another year where what you could watch from the comfort of your own home left cinema fare in the shade. Here's all the times TV kicked film's ass in 2015…
The first season of FX's mini-series adaptation of Coen Brothers' Fargo was one of the best new TV shows when it came on the air in 2013 so there was a fair amount of pressure on the follow-up to recreate that success but they've easily done it with an amazing cast, great plot and black humour all the while keeping that quirky Coen Bros tone at the forefront.
Netflix's original drama, Narcos, was probably my favourite show of 2015 and definitely a yardstick on which future Netflix originals will be judged. Taking on the almost mythic story of Colombia's most infamous coke baron, Pablo Escobar, the drama is a brutal and addictive show with lush period production, impeccable acting and tense scenes.
Game Of Thrones
HBO can't really put a foot wrong with the ever popular Game of Thrones franchise. As the show catches up with George R. R. Martin's novels many questioned whether the show would have to be put on hiatus to allow time for the writer to complete the next novel but instead they've rather daringly taken projected plot points provided to them by Martin and gone in their own direction, winning over hardcore fans at the same time. No mean feat when it comes to fantasy nerds who love nothing more than using the sentence "the book is better".
Broad City
New York based stoner, pop culture comedy Broad City is definitely one of the top shows of 2015 and pisses all over any movie comedies released this year. Based around the lives of two millenials trying to survive in New York it's funnier and more realistic than Girls.
Silicon Valley
Beavis & Butthead and King of the Hill creator Mike Judge ended a seeming hiatus last year to come back with a new show, Silicon Valley, which takes a stab at the high pressure world of tech startups in California's silicon valley. Expect dorks being dorks, dork who don't realise they're dorks being dorks against the backdrop of
Mr. Robot
Slowly gaining the plaudits it deserves having been received three nominations including Best Drama Series at the Golden Globes, Mr. Robot, follows socially awkward Eliot, computer engineer at a cyber security firm by day, vigilante by night as he joins a subversive revolutionary movement aiming to take down a massive conglomerate. Featuring a compelling central performance from Rami Malek as Eliot the show is also helping to resuscitate the career of former Hollywood badboy, Christian Slater.
The Jinx
From the creator of unsettling child abuse documentary, Capturing The Friedmans, HBO's The Jinx takes a look at the crazy life of Robert Durst, the estranged member of the magnate New York retail Durst family as he is facing trial for murder. Honestly one of the most gripping and rewarding documentaries I've ever watched you'll be simultaneously compelled and repelled by Durst's odd oily charisma.
Big Time In Hollywood Fl.
Produced by Ben Stiller's Red Hour Films, Big Time In Hollywood Fl, echoes screwball comedies like Dumb & Dumber, Stepbrothers & Kingpin it follows the lives of two goofballs brothers with dreams of movie stardom as they go to crazy lengths to make those dreams a reality. With hilarious guest slots from Ben Stiller and Cuba Gooding Jr, it's one of the best new comedies of the year.
Arguably the most popular living comedian, Louie CK, came back this year with the fourth season of his amazing sitcom for FX, Louie. Like a lot of shows this last year, Louie skirts that thin line between comedy and drama, offering small interconnected vignettes that expertly show the difficulties and foibles of life including fatherhood, middle age, love and death. It's an at times painfully beautiful show that's really pushing the boundaries of what TV comedy can do that's always truthful and always funny.
Has Armando Iannuci ever had a flop? Literally everything the man has ever been involved in has been top class and Veep is no different. Featuring the always amazing and ridiculously sexy Julia Louis-Dreyfuss as the vice president of the United States it gives a spot-on and hilarious look behind the scenes of Washington's political elite.
Honorable mentions: Last Man on Earth, Man Seeking Woman, Better Call Saul, Orange Is The New Black.

AUD/CAD: buy target - 1.0200
By: Dmitriy Chernovolov
- AUD/CAD broke multiple resistance levels
- Next buy target - 1.0200
AUD/CADhas been rising sharply in the last few trading sessions inside the 5th minor impulse wave 5 of the (C)-wave of the primary ABC correction ② from September. The active (C)-wave earlier broke the daily up channel from September, the resistance level 0.9850 (previous buy target set for this currency pair) and more recently – the price broke through the parity.
The price today broke the next strong resistance level 1.0080 (which reversed the pair sharply in January, as you can see below). If the price closes today above 1.0080 - AUD/CAD can then rise to the next buy target 1.0200.

Remake me: Chapter One
Harry stared at himself in the mirror. How did everything turn out the way it had? Pale arms, slightly darker than his own, wrapped around his abdomen and he smiled to himself in the mirror, thinking back to the cause of all this.
Six years ago.
"If I didn't know any better, Draco, I'd say you were scared," Harry taunted, crossing over a few roots, following close behind the slightly taller blonde.
"Scared Potter?" Draco sat, holding the lamp in front of him, back facing the raven-haired boy, causing the Gryfindor to miss the frown that adorned his face at the use of his name on pink lips.
"Hoot-Hoot," the forest called to them.
"Did you hear that?" Draco asked, suddenly at Harry's side, holding the lamp in front of the boy's face so he could see him, looking around. Green eyes shined at him for a moment before he averted his eyes to the dog, "Come on, Fang." Harry's eyes flickered to the blonde's form as they walked, momentarily surveying him. Fang growled as they walked over some tree roots and both of them froze.
"What's wrong, Fang?" Harry asked, still not looking up, though Draco stood in horror watching a cloaked figure leaning over the body of a unicorn. Harry's eyes followed Fang and Draco's path. The thing lifted its head and snarled, unicorn blood dripping from a deformed mouth, baring fangs.
"Ahhh!" Draco shouted, moving to run. A figure appeared in his path.
"So I've found you," the figure spoke, a female voice behind the cloak that covered her features and body, "how dare you touch my unicorns." Her voice was calm, head facing the cloaked form stained with white blood. Draco looked up at her in wonder, the shadows covering her face and Harry looked between the two. A large beast flew through the air, stumping at the cloaked form in unicorn blood, making it flee. The other disappeared.
"Thank you," Harry said, looked up, wide-eyed at the centaur that saved his life.
"Harry Potter, it is not safe for you here, there are many a beast in this forest that will not take kindly to you," the centaur spoke, his voice deep booming slightly.
"Hello friend, I see you've met our young Mr. Potter. Alrigh' there 'Arry?" Hagrid asked, an arrow shooter in his hands, looking to Harry. Draco stood, trembling slightly, next to Harry.
"This is where I must leave you, take care, Harry Potter," the centaur galloped away.
The summer after fifth year. Harry sat on his bare floor, staring at nothing but focusing on everything. This evening was the evening the orphan woman came. It was always a different person but of the same sex, female. They would walk around the house, inspecting his living conditions. Of course, the Dursleys would move his bed in Dudley's room for just that day. Again, they would be allowed custody over him; they always were, because when all the doors were closed and company was around, they were, for lack of a better word, perfect. Harry sighed, crawling over to the lose floor board and pulling out some photos he had kept of his friends, Remus, Sirius and some of his Professors. He folded his legs, careful not to get any dirt on the new pair of black pants they brought him, his one, green, silk shirt hanging off of him nicely instead of sagging like all his other shirts, making him look lean and tall, handsome as well.
"Boy!" Vernon called up the steps and the 16-year-old quickly put his things back under the floorboard, standing, dusting off his bum.
"Coming, Uncle Vernon," Harry called, though it wasn't necessary since he was moving quickly down the steps, his light weight causing no sound from the steps or floor as he swept into the room, smiling charmingly. Vernon stared at the boy, along with his wife and son. Moments like these made them wonder about him, more than usual. With the mere addition of a nice shirt and pants, the boy was a young man, charming and normal but abnormal in the way his presence in this state made you want to be especially nice to him. "What time did she say she was coming?" Harry asked, politely, arms behind his back as he looked to his uncle that no longer towered over him as much as he had only two hours before.
"Ms. Cornelius, will be here in five minutes. You know the deal, boy." Vernon's voice was softer than it should have been. It should have been booming, harsh and intimidating, but it wasn't. "Oh," the large man said mockingly, as if just remembering, "she's also coming to see if there is room for another little boy, he's rich. Hear that Dudley you'll have a little friend to play with." Dudley smirked at Harry. He really hated when the lanky boy dressed up, he had to admit, though never out loud, he looked better than he.
"Like Andre?" Harry asked, his innocent eyes causing his three relatives to soften unwillingly.
"No, not a child, a teenager, about your age," Petunia spoke to Dudley as if he had asked the question.
"Ok," Harry nodded, standing with his hands behind his back, eyes downcast, knowing better than to take a seat or ask anymore. The tension in the room faded when the door was knocked upon.
"No funny business, boy," was the last thing Vernon said to him as he went to open the door.
"Hello, you must be Ms. Cornelius?" Vernon said joyously, smiling at the woman in front of him. The tall woman stood at eye-to-eye level with him, her curves making up for her increase in height as she flashed a straight, white-toothed smile at him. Her all white business suit made her stand out in authority, a pair of thin, rectangular glasses on her button nose, framing pale green eyes. Her hair in a tight bun at the top of her head but the back let out to let the slightly wavy, white blond hair flow down her back and over her shoulders. The pants she wore clung to her thighs nicely, stopping at her ankle, which was covered by white, leather, boots. Vernon stared as Petunia came up from behind him, followed by Dudley and then Harry who stood at the doorway, body toward Vernon, waiting to be introduced to the woman though he caught a glimpse of her.
"Yes, I am, and this," her voice sounding familiar to Harry's ears, she moved aside allowing another figure to walk up who was a little taller than her, "is D." The figure smiled politely at them, hiding his look of utter disgust at the size of the men and of course, the fact that they were Muggles did not help in the least bit. His hands folding at his back instinctively, allowing them to look him over which they did with wide eyes and shamelessly slacked-jaws, making him smirk lightly. The black pants he wore hugged his legs slightly, muscles outlined to perfection just like the rest of his long legs. His silver, silk shirt was slightly see through, almost blending in with his white- blonde hair, held in a perfect ponytail at the base of his neck. His stormy gray eyes smiled at them, shinning in the sunlight and matching his shirt perfectly. His scaled, green shoes and belt finishing the look. "Well, aren't you going to invite us in?" Ms. Cornelius asked impatiently, tapping her slightly pointed heel on the off color cement of the porch.
"Yes, yes of course," Vernon stuttered, backing away clumsily and
knocking over Harry in the process. The Gryfindor was momentarily surprised
but shook out of his stupor when a pearl nailed hand reached out to him, to
help him up.
"And you must be Harry, you look nice, I'd like you to meet, Draco," her smirk made him wonder if she knew something he didn't and he excepted her hand, dusting off his bum again.
"Draco?" he asked himself, looking down at himself to make sure everything was in order.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Harry Potter," Draco chuckled, looking over the Boy-Who-Lived.
"Malfoy, what are you doing here?" Harry exclaimed ignoring the odd looks his relatives gave him.
"Father had to lie low and.what is it your business?" Malfoy sneered.
"It's not, I just wanted to know why the heck you're in my home!" Harry shouted. A hand touched his shoulder and he calmed down immediately, looking to the pearl nails for a moment before glancing up at the taller woman.
"Well, if we can just have a seat, I can explain everything," again her voice sounded familiar. Draco glared at Harry and vice-versa before the three turned to the three gawking relatives, "shall we?"
The five of them sat in the living room as Harry went to receive the refreshments his Aunt had prepared for their company.
"What is this all about?" Vernon asked, taking a biscuit offered by Harry silently.
"Well, as you know, young Harry here attends Hogwarts.well thank you
dear," she took the tea, refusing the biscuit politely, "Draco also attends
Hogwarts and he needs a place to stay for the balance of the summer.
"Hogwarts, I have no idea what you're talking about!" Petunia said hysterically, looking to the woman in horror.
"Oh, no need to worry dear," Harry offered Draco tea and biscuits politely, making the blonde raise an eyebrow to him, Cornelius continued, "I know all about Harry being a wizard, I mean I am the woman who handles his placement. I am to understand that he's been taken care of and is in perfect health, though it is obviously a lie," her eyebrow raised to him when he stood back, head bowed and hands behind his back in a submissive manner.
"Boy, take a seat, with all that nonsense, honestly, he's just nervous," Vernon, said anxiously, lifting his fat body and directing Harry to the empty seat next to Draco. Head still bowed, Harry frowned, he'd messed up, a beating definitely was in order after this.
"That will be all, Vernon. As it is, Harry has remained safe in this house for the past years of his life, both normal and abnormal, and young Draco here is in need of a place to stay. Of course, you will be paid for your serves in helping Mr. Malfoy out, including the money you receive for keeping Harry in your sights."
"Money?" Harry interrupted.
"Yes, Harry, money. They are paid to take care of you, that's where all of your clothing and food comes from." Ms. Cornelius said, almost sadly. Harry's eyes flashed with hurt so deep that Draco had to repel from him for a moment, but it was there for only a split second before his had bowed again and his face went blank. What happened to the Gryfindor spirit? What happened to Saint Potter? The one that stood up for his friends? And now he couldn't even stand up for himself? "Draco needs a place to stay and he will stay here, that is that." The woman stood, flattening away invisible wrinkles on her suit.
"You're not going to stay and inspect the house?" Harry asked, eyes pleading, looking to her hopefully, standing.
"No, I'm afraid not, I have some business to attend to in the Wizarding World. I will return at the end of the summer to see how things are going and to take you two to Hogsmeade for your school supplies. Good day and good luck." And she disappeared from the room with a soft pop.
Draco stood, looking to the large man that was a little shorter than him.
"Well, Muggle, where will I be staying?" Draco asked, smirking at Harry whose face was that of pure horror making his smirk fade. The large man was turning a very unappealing shade of purple and he was shaking.
"That's all we need, another little freak," the large man hissed.
"Excuse me," Draco's appalled voice startled the slight silence of the room. Harry stood in front of him, as if to protect him.
"You don't have to worry about him! Everything's ok, we wouldn't make a sound this entire summer ok, ok?" Harry's voice was shaking and pleading, Vernon shook as he thought over Harry's words, a disgusted look on his face. Harry whirled around to face Draco who was looking completely and utterly shocked. Harry's face sported a few tear streaks and his already pale face looking up at Draco with wholesome fear. "Go up stairs." His voice was squeaked.
"But-." Draco tried.
"No, go, and stay there, don't listen" Harry pushed him out of the room and toward the stairs, standing in the hall toward the entrance of the room, shaking. The blonde Malfoy walked up the stairs, confused.
"Petunia, take Dudders upstairs," Vernon called to his wife from behind him. That was as much as Draco caught before he closed the door to a bare room with only a desk and a wardrobe in it. He scowled at the dirty tiled floor, eyeing the small carpet in the middle of the room.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" a high-pitched male scream had erupted from down stairs and the blonde closed his eyes. Harry told him to stay up stairs. He leaned against the wall, closing his eyes tightly. What the hell was going on?
Two Hours later.
Draco lay with his hands behind his head, on the filthy bed, that at least had a decent blanket on top of it. The screaming had stopped only minutes ago and his chest constricted painfully at the dead silence that followed it. He knew it was Potter's voice, had heard it scream before in rage and after that time at the Tri-wizard Tournament, he heard it in horror. Is this what happened to the Boy-Who-Lived? Why had this happened? What had happened? He heard heavy steps behind the door he knew lie directly in front of the steps. The doors' locks were opened quickly and the large man stood in the hall, holding Harry whose limp body hung from the stubby arms of the man. Draco sat up quickly, leaping from the bed, and just catching Harry before he hit the floor.
The fat man chuckled harshly, slamming the door shut and locking all
the locks. Draco sneered at the door then looked down to his Potter.
My Potter? The question left him when he looked down at Harry, or at least a shell of him. His eyes were open in horror, eyes wide, glazed and unfocused. He was completely naked, save for the rag that was left of what looked like boxers. His usually pale skin gleamed death at him, scratches down his pale thighs, across his chest and on his cheek. His lips were swollen and held two splits, one in the middle of his lower lip and one in the corner of his mouth. His long hair tangled and bunched in ways that showed rough treatment, like being pulled and tugged horribly. The raven- haired boy's eyes finally blinked, eyes clouding with tears. "Harry, Harry are you ok?" Draco asked, he had the sudden urge to slap himself. What a stupid question! Of course he's not ok! Harry didn't move but his tears stopped falling down his pale, bruised cheeks and his large, sharp green eyes looked up at Draco who held him to his chest, his thighs folded under him to hold Harry up slightly.
"Draco.sorry," Harry squeaked, head tilting slightly to look deeply in the blonde's eyes, before he promptly passed out. Draco looked down at the smaller boy, holding back the emotions that filled him at the beautiful bruised face, making him feel guilty because he thought the black haired boy never looked more enticing. He sighed to himself, using his thumb to wipe away Harry's tears, what are we going to do?
The next morning.
Draco awoke slowly, instinctively feeling for the warmth of Harry, who he had laid beside him, that seemed to have disappeared. He sat up stridently, looking around for The-Boy-Who-Lived.
"Are you ok, Malfoy?" Harry asked, looking to the blonde as he came into the room, a tray of food in his hands. Though the boy was naturally pale, some color had returned to his face, lips no longer swollen but a nice plump red. His hair had been cleaned and washed, wetly combed back into a neat ponytail. His face did not sport the bruises he wore the night before, pale skin creamy and light, contrasting with the black turtle neck he wore, black jeans hugging strong legs. He looked, for lack of a better word, crisp.
"I should be asking you that question, Potter," Malfoy drawled, looking at him suspiciously as he held out the tray to him, "what's all this?" he directed his eyes toward the food. Harry sighed, mind-full of the fact that Draco sat on his bed with nothing but a pair of boxers on, looking cute with his hair in a disarray all over his shoulders, taking a seat next to the blonde and setting the tray on his own lap, beginning to butter toast.
"It's food, Malfoy. Look, here you can't act anyway you want. It's fine with me if you act that way when the Dursleys aren't around but when they are.you can't. You've been asleep for a while and the three of them left early in the morning for a family day. By the time they get back, we should be in bed. I'm sorry, Malfoy, you probably want to be here even less than I want you to be here. We'll have to deal with it." He handed Draco a plate of pancakes, eggs and sausage, smiling charmingly.
Like, it? Didn't? Share your thoughts, tell me if I should add a chapter or not. Or you could just enlighten me of your existence. Sorry about all the mistakes. I am in the process of correcting them as you read!
